Chapter 498: Chapter 200: Surge and Peak (Part 2)
Fang Xing looked at the dead Demon Emperor-level Fierce Beast centipede on the ground and exhaled.
This was the second Early Stage Demon Emperor-level Fierce Beast he had killed in the Abyssal Canyon.
His Enhancement Points had grown to 540 million!
His points also successfully broke through the two-thousand mark, reaching over two thousand!
He was only a hundred points away from third place.
’There’s a definite element of luck to this.’
Fang Xing thought to himself as he refined the Fierce Beast’s soul.
’In places with many Fierce Beasts, the points rack up quickly.’
’Like the Abyssal Canyon and the Death Swamp.’
’In less than half a day, I’ve already matched my progress from the past several days.’
’Of course, strength is the real key.’
’Without strength, there’s no guarantee I could kill them even if I found them.’
’I could even get killed myself.’
His situation was an exception.
After refining the Soul Power in one go, his Vajra Guardian God soared to a height of seventy zhang.
It wasn’t far from the Vajra Guardian God’s full restoration to the Great Success stage.
Gazing into the dark mist, Fang Xing vanished once more.
His progress had been swift at first, but it was gradually slowing down.
He wasn’t the only one in the Abyssal Canyon.
Plenty of others were here as well.
The number of Fierce Beasts was plummeting.
Fang Xing pushed deeper, exploring with the powerful perception of his Flesh Body.
’This is probably as far as it goes,’ he estimated.
’It’ll be hard to find any major scores if I stay.’
’Still, this was a decent haul for one trip.’
’Two Early Stage Demon Emperors and dozens of Demon King-level Fierce Beasts.’
’This one trip was more than worth it.’
"ROAR—!"
Just as Fang Xing prepared to leave the Abyssal Canyon, a roar suddenly erupted from nearby.
A ghostly light tore through the dark mist, shooting toward him like an arrow.
"CLANG—!"
A Dark Gold radiance shimmered as Fang Xing took a single step back. He looked up, and his eyes fell upon a massive Fierce Beast.
A purple centipede.
A purple glow flickered all around its body, filling the air with a vicious aura.
The three-zhang-long purple centipede, with its countless legs, was a chilling sight.
’Late Stage of Demon Emperor!’
Fang Xing’s eyes lit up.
’I’ve hit the jackpot!’
"HISS—!"
A beam of brilliant purple light shot out, carrying an aura that could corrode anything.
WHOOSH—!
Fang Xing vanished in an instant, deftly dodging the attack.
In a single dash, he appeared behind the centipede Fierce Beast.
The Life-taking Demon Saber materialized, glowing with a purple light.
"CLANG—!"
His strike landed with the sound of metal on metal.
A crack appeared on its incredibly hard carapace. Shrieking in pain, the centipede Fierce Beast unleashed dozens of purple beams that shot out in all directions.
Using his True Essence Protection, and relying on the immense defensive power of his Prison-Suppression Golden Body, Fang Xing easily blocked the volley of attacks.
Seizing the centipede Fierce Beast’s brief opening, he darted around to its front.
"SHLUK—!"
The purple Demon Saber appeared out of nowhere, plunging through the centipede Fierce Beast’s soft underbelly.
Compared to its hard carapace, its soft underbelly couldn’t withstand a single blow from the Life-taking Demon Saber.
Its Power of Life plummeted, and its vital fluids gushed onto the ground.
Despite suffering a fatal blow, the centipede Fierce Beast still displayed astonishingly tenacious Life Force.
"BOOM—!"
A golden radiance flared, and with a punch as fast as lightning, Fang Xing struck.
The punch instantly tore through the centipede Fierce Beast’s body. Even the tenacious Life Force of a Late Stage Demon Emperor-level creature could not withstand its power.
Its Power of Life dissipated completely.
A torrent of crimson energy surged into his body, increasing his Enhancement Points by a whopping ninety million!
In one fell swoop, he broke through to 630 million Enhancement Points.
His points soared to over twenty-three hundred.
With that, he leaped into third place!
The Devouring God Golden Light swept out, suppressing the Fierce Beast’s Soul Power. Fang Xing then quickly stored away the Demon Emperor centipede’s Flesh Body.
With a single step, he vanished on the spot.
A moment later, Fang Xing appeared at the exit of the Abyssal Canyon.
A brilliant smile lit up his face as he checked the point rankings on his White Jade Bracelet.
’After days of hard fighting, I’ve finally made it to third place.’
’Although the gap between me and fourth place is only about a hundred points.’
’But it’s still progress.’
’First, I need to recover.’
Composing himself, Fang Xing quickly disappeared from the entrance of the Abyssal Canyon.
Once he completely refined the Soul Power of this Late Stage Demon Emperor-level Fierce Beast, his third Divine Spirit could finally be fully restored.
...
「Underground Cave Secret Realm, on a blood-red plain.」
Several figures were racing across the plain.
But suddenly, the figures stopped dead in their tracks. A burly man glanced at the rankings on his White Jade Bracelet, his gaze turning to the strapping leader of the group in astonishment.
"Brother Hun, you’ve been knocked down to fourth place."
The leader, a burly middle-aged man, looked at the rankings on his White Jade Bracelet, a flicker in his eyes.
"Fang Xing... He’s certainly fast."
"It’s nothing. The difference is only about a hundred points. All I need to do is slay one Demon Emperor."
The burly middle-aged man’s face showed no hint of emotion, his expression calm.
Seeing this, the men behind him exchanged a glance before one of them spoke.
"Brother Hun, there probably isn’t much left for us on the Fifth Layer. Why don’t we just head to the Sixth Layer? I imagine those guys from the Cangqiong Tribe are probably heading to the Sixth Layer by now as well."
At his words, the burly middle-aged man pondered for a moment before finally nodding. "Alright. Let’s go to the Sixth Layer."
Having come to an agreement, the group of figures vanished into the vast wilderness.
...
’Third place!’
’So fast!’
Having just finished off a Fierce Beast, Yun Shu subconsciously checked the rankings. Her eyes widened when she saw Fang Xing in third place.
