Only after Fang Xing had vanished completely did Aguda and the others look away.
They stared, somewhat dazed, in the direction he had disappeared.
’When did killing an Early Stage Demon Emperor Fierce Beast become so easy?!’
It probably wasn’t that the Fierce Beast was too weak, but that Fang Xing was truly too strong.
"Let’s go. We should head to the Fourth Layer."
Aguda sighed, and the brawny Grandmaster beside him nodded silently.
Then, Aguda and the Grandmaster at his side vanished without a trace.
There weren’t many Demon Emperors on the third layer to begin with; the real battlefield was below.
After Aguda and his companion disappeared, Wanyan Gang and his group also came back to their senses.
One of the Grandmasters looked at the pale-faced Wanyan Gang and sighed.
"Brother Wanyan, you’d best not provoke him next time. You might just get beaten up."
Wanyan Gang: "..."
Gazing in the direction Fang Xing had vanished, Wanyan Gang felt a lingering fear.
He was unwilling to accept it, but this stark reminder of reality forced him to be cautious.
"I won’t give up on Yun Shu." With a cold snort, Wanyan Gang turned and left.
"What a femme fatale. That guy’s completely obsessed, hung up on one person."
Another Grandmaster sighed.
After speaking, he too vanished, following Wanyan Gang.
The remaining figures disappeared as well.
Having witnessed this scene, an impression was seared into the minds of all present.
This fiend was not to be provoked. Ever.
If Wanyan Gang didn’t know what was good for him and got beaten, he would have no one to blame but himself.
Perhaps a good beating would knock some sense into him.
Helping him was out of the question. They had witnessed the monstrous power of that fiend with their own eyes.
To help would be to get beaten up alongside him.
...
On the third layer of the Underground Cave, Fang Xing’s figure emerged from the final Forbidden Land.
"A pity. I’m still a step too late. They sure are damn fast!"
Stepping out of the Forbidden Land, Fang Xing sighed and scanned his surroundings before his figure appeared atop a mountain peak.
He sat cross-legged and closed his eyes. In his Celestial Spirit Sea, the suppressed soul of the giant python struggled frantically, but it still couldn’t escape Fang Xing’s control.
’One... I’ll restore the Void Concealing God first.’ The thought flashed through his mind, and Fang Xing immediately began to absorb the giant python’s soul.
The Void Divine Seal activated.
The Celestial Court trembled.
About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn...
Within the vast Spiritual Sea, a phantom image materialized, wreathed in divine light.
As the giant python’s soul was poured in, the phantom image gradually solidified, transforming into a Divine Spirit.
The Void Concealing God!
With the soul of an Early Stage Demon Emperor Fierce Beast—the giant python—he had finally restored the first Divine Spirit.
The Void Concealing God.
Although it was only thirty feet tall, it was considered restored. The rest would be much simpler.
With the powerful souls of Demon Emperor Level Fierce Beasts, it wouldn’t take many for him to recover completely.
"Over seventy million..."
"Looks like I’ll reach my baseline of a hundred million very soon."
Fang Xing rose to his feet and looked up at the dark red sky.
If he took care of one more Demon Emperor, he would break the one hundred million mark.
However, breaking one hundred million was far from enough.
He also had to meet the threshold requirement for the Celestial Spirit Divine Pool.
If he missed this opportunity with the Celestial Spirit Divine Pool, who knew when he would next encounter a Curiosity containing Celestial Spirit Qi.
Since it was right in front of him, he had to fight for it.
"Rank two hundred something... it dropped again. Who the hell are these people?"
Fang Xing’s eye twitched as he watched his rank drop once again.
’This probably isn’t just one person I’m up against, but the strength of an entire tribe.’
Especially large tribes and super tribes.
In a joint hunt, as long as one person claims the kill, that’s enough.
The others could beat a beast half to death, and the last person would reap the rewards. At that speed, even if they were just hunting Demon King Level Fierce Beasts, it would be incredibly fast.
This was the power of cooperation, but only large tribes and super tribes had the resources to do it.
Other medium and large tribes could only team up with other tribes.
His competitors were entire entities like large tribes and super tribes.
One man against a whole crowd!
