NOVEL NEXT Chapter 180
The sun shone through the forest, making the figure of the young man in black look even taller.
Gu Cheng watched the two demon hunters go away, then he looked back and looked down at the huge leopard demon corpse at his feet.
"Oh, what a pleasant surprise..."
Gu Cheng sighed softly, his brows unable to hide his excitement.
Who would have thought that on the way back to Tieyun City, he would encounter a leopard demon in the innate realm?
If he had been so lucky in the past month, he would not have spent so much energy on searching for demons.
Thinking of this, he walked to the leopard demon's corpse, skillfully opened its belly, took out an innate demon core with a faint green light, and put it into the storage bag.
Then, Gu Cheng's mind moved slightly.
Demonic evil rose in the air, and black mist spread like ripples.
A black dragon claw tore through the void, stretched out its sharp claws, and grabbed the huge corpse of the leopard monster.
-Blood Furnace!
In an instant, the blood on the dragon claw surged, and instantly devoured the huge body of the leopard monster.
As the blood surged, the corpse shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The flesh, bones, and fur all turned into a ball of pure energy, which was greedily devoured and absorbed by the dragon's right claw, and finally delivered to its owner.
Gu Cheng closed his eyes, with a satisfied look on his face, as if he was tasting some delicious food.
Using the blood transformation magic of the dragon's right claw, the efficiency of refining the corpse of the monster was far better than his own, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was "refined in an instant".
However, if he wanted to completely refine and absorb this violent energy, he had to rely on himself.
Gu Cheng jumped onto a nearby boulder and sat cross-legged.
After taking a deep breath, he began to infuse his life force to speed up the refining of the huge energy in his body.
With the experience of refining the demon's body several times before, the refining process this time was a natural process without any difficulty.
…
[343rd year: You will completely refine the energy you swallowed and transform it into extremely pure blood evil power.
Driven by this power, your blood knife has made rapid progress, and your cultivation level has slightly loosened.
But unfortunately, this energy is still too little, and it is weak to help you break through the bottleneck in one fell swoop. ]
[414th year: After years of hard work, you have absorbed the refined blood evil power and completely integrated it into your body, and your physical strength has slightly improved. ]
[Physical cultivation: Innate eighth level]
[Remaining life: 6,732 years]
"…"
Gu Cheng slowly opened his eyes, feeling the surging power in his body, but couldn't help shaking his head slightly.
The improvement brought by refining this demon is really negligible.
After all, at his current level, the body of a mere mid-level demon in the Xiantian realm is already difficult to significantly improve his physical strength.
If he wants to go further, he can only hunt demons of higher realms.
"Alas, although there are many demons in Chongshan County, they all fight on their own, and they are not strong enough.
Not to mention the demons in the Linghai realm, even the big demons above the high level of the Xiantian realm are few and far between."
"No wonder the Demon Suppression Division has always not paid enough attention to Chongshan County, and has not arranged many people... However, this is convenient for me to hunt."
Gu Cheng said in his heart, thinking back to his experience over the past month, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Since he had the "intelligence strategy" provided by Shen Ruyan.
Gu Cheng followed the map and regarded the entire Chongshan County as his own copy for leveling up, sweeping the nests of those demons everywhere.
In total, the number of Xiantian Realm monsters who died in his hands was at least 30, if not 40.
Monsters are full of treasures, so Gu Cheng would not waste them. He used them to the utmost from head to toe.
The lifespan gained from killing monsters was used by him to accelerate refining and deduce martial arts.
The monster's body was refined by his blood transformation magic to practice the "Blood Sword Sutra" and strengthen his own physical strength.
As for those extremely precious Xiantian monster cores, Gu Cheng directly swallowed and refined them to sacrifice his Linghai Realm Jiaolong monster servant.
In the process of swallowing monster cores, Gu Cheng also gained a lot of inspiration and understanding of martial arts.
With the help of lifespan acceleration deduction, he upgraded his original practice of the Broken Ordinary Realm body method all the way to a whole new level:
[Xiantian (Rare)·Xiaoyao Chengfeng Jue: Perfection]
With this perfect Xiantian Realm body method
Not only did Gu Cheng become more agile and graceful, but he also greatly improved his ability to fly with the wind, and could even be compared with those venerables who had entered the Spiritual Sea Realm.
It was precisely because of this that he was able to travel freely in these mountains and ridges, killing the innate realm monsters that were entrenched one by one."If I can hunt a demon with good speed and refine it into a demon servant, the demon-killing efficiency during this period can be further improved..."
Gu Cheng sighed in his heart. Unfortunately, the "Four Spirits True Meaning" he practiced had very strict requirements for demon servants.
The quality and potential of the demon servant itself are more directly related to the upper limit of this growth-type practice. He did not want to make up for the short-term benefits, so he could only suppress this idea temporarily.
"What's more, my current innate demon core has been used to refine the dragon demon servant. Where can I sacrifice the second one..."
As his thoughts surged, Gu Cheng's consciousness sank into the sea of consciousness.
In the center of the vast sea of consciousness, a dark dragon phantom was seen, emitting a heart-pounding pressure.
Except for the four solid claws, the head, body and tail of the black dragon phantom were still in an illusory state, and it was obviously not completely refined.
[Jiaolong·Jiao Potian: Spiritual Sea Intermediate Level (4/7)]
Gu Cheng glanced at the information on his personal panel and felt helpless.
Although the "third method" he created was powerful, the resources consumed were really outrageous. He spent more than a month to achieve this result.
"Is it because Jiao Potian is a dragon species and has a strong aptitude, so the consumption is so amazing?"
"After returning to Tieyun City, I will get the innate demon core I bought from Shen Ruyan, and I should be able to sacrifice and refine new parts, right?"
While thinking, Gu Cheng slowly stood up and was about to leave for Tieyun City, but he suddenly stopped.
"Wait, something is wrong..."
The young man in black frowned slightly, and an inexplicable sense of disobedience surged into his heart:
"According to the information provided by Shen Ruyan, the range of activities of the leopard monster should be in the deep mountains and old forests thousands of miles away. How could it appear here inexplicably?"
Gu Cheng's heart was full of doubts, and his eyes gradually became sharp.
His mind moved, and a golden light flashed in his eyes, and a magical and extraordinary innate magical power quietly activated.
[Innate·Looking at Qi]
This magical power was obtained after he killed a high-level ape monster in the innate realm not long ago and swallowed and refined its monster core.
Although it has no direct killing ability, it can allow him to see through many secrets that cannot be detected by the naked eye or even the divine consciousness, which can be said to be infinitely useful.
In an instant, the originally ordinary mountains and forests turned into a colorful picture in his eyes, showing all the secrets hidden in the world in front of him.
Two faint green auras represent the two demon hunters just now.
And a strong black aura represents the innate leopard demon.
Gu Cheng's eyes were like lightning, scanning the surroundings.
Suddenly, his expression changed, and his eyes were fixed on the distance.
In the deep forest, several powerful black auras rose to the sky, like torches in the dark night. They were several terrifying innate demons!
"Sure enough, there is something fishy!"
Gu Cheng's eyes lit up, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Although he didn't know why these innate demons gathered here, for him, it was nothing short of an unexpected feast!
Thinking of this, Gu Cheng no longer hesitated, his figure turned into a residual shadow, and he quietly sneaked towards the direction where the demons gathered...
