Chapter 456 Ten-Level Monster Beast Appears!

Upon hearing these words, the Snow Woman’s expression changed.

A legendary creature… just hearing about it was quite shocking.

Beside her, Su Lengyun’s beautiful eyes were also filled with surprise.

Fang Yu frowned deeply.

He wasn’t concerned about the awakening creatures; he was concerned about the reason for their awakening.

Combined with his own experiences, he could basically confirm it.

The world today must be undergoing some imperceptible changes.

Otherwise, the various anomalies that had occurred recently would be difficult to explain.

“Fang Yu, what are your thoughts?” Snow King asked, seeing Fang Yu’s furrowed brow.

Fang Yu came back to his senses and shook his head.

The current information was still limited, making it difficult to draw any conclusions.

To truly investigate, he might need to travel around the world… or at least tour the entire Jiuzhou Nation.

Fang Yu didn’t have the energy for that at the moment. His current focus was breaking through to the ten thousandth layer of Qi Refinement.

“Is there a suitable place nearby for secluded cultivation?” Fang Yu asked.

“Everywhere here is suitable for secluded cultivation,” Snow King smiled. “If you want to go into seclusion, just let me know. No one will disturb you until you come out.”

“Then I’ll just find a random snow mountain,” Fang Yu said.

“No problem,” Snow King replied.

Fang Yu turned to look at Su Lengyun and said, “I need to absorb that origin core, which might take a month or so. Do you want to stay here or return to Xiang City?”

“This place is very suitable for my cultivation technique. I’d like to stay here and wait for you to come out,” Su Lengyun answered softly.

“Alright then, you can wait here. If you need anything, just tell Snow Woman. She’ll take good care of you,” Fang Yu said, glancing at Snow Woman.

“Fang Yu! When did I ever say…” Snow Woman’s expression changed, about to protest.

But before she could finish speaking, she caught Snow King’s stern gaze and immediately closed her mouth.

“Fang Yu, don’t worry. Your friend is a friend of our Blizzard Tribe. We will definitely take good care of her,” Snow King smiled.

Snow King was a good person, and Fang Yu trusted him.

“Then I’ll be going.”

With these words, Fang Yu walked out of the house and leaped away from the Blizzard Tribe’s headquarters.

Behind the headquarters were towering snow mountains everywhere.

Fang Yu found one of them, reached its peak, sat down, and took out the origin core from his storage bag.

This origin crystal was emitting vast amounts of high-intensity spiritual energy.

However, Fang Yu still wasn’t clear about where this origin core came from.

“Could it be the origin core of that spirit dragon? No, how could it become the guardian spirit of its own origin core?”

After pondering for a while without reaching a conclusion, Fang Yu gave up thinking about it.

The origin crystal in his hand was emitting a dazzling blue light.

Fang Yu held it with both hands and activated the Spirit Devouring Technique.

A light red vortex appeared between his hands.

High-intensity spiritual energy was absorbed through his hands, flowed throughout his body, and entered his dantian.

Fang Yu’s dantian had been in an extremely expanded state.

Now with more high-intensity spiritual energy flowing in, this expansion became even more pronounced, even causing pain.

As the spiritual energy entered the dantian, the small golden dragon that had been circling around his dantian seemed to sense something and suddenly increased its circling speed.

Fang Yu’s entire body emitted a strong golden light, and his divine power erupted.

At the same time, his entire body left the ground and floated in mid-air.

From a distance, Fang Yu truly looked like a deity manifesting in the world.

If outsiders were present, they would certainly feel compelled to kneel before him.

…

Fang Yu absorbed the origin crystal in his hands while refining the high-intensity spiritual energy entering his dantian.

After refinement, each strand of high-intensity spiritual energy transformed into three strands, completely merging into the spiritual sea in his dantian.

During this process, Fang Yu’s cultivation level was steadily rising.

But at his current level, breaking through one layer was more than ten times harder than before.

Fang Yu sat like this for a whole day and barely broke through one layer!

For the next week, Fang Yu maintained this state.

During this week, Fang Yu broke through six layers, currently at the 9,992nd layer of Qi Refinement.

He was only eight layers away from his long-desired 10,000th layer of Qi Refinement.

The origin crystal in Fang Yu’s hands still emitted light.

But compared to the beginning, it had dimmed considerably.

While absorbing, Fang Yu was also observing the remaining amount in the origin core.

In a week’s time, he had absorbed about half of the spiritual energy inside the origin core.

Yet he had only broken through six layers!

This meant that Fang Yu probably couldn’t break through to the 10,000th layer of Qi Refinement with just this origin core.

However, from another perspective, the closer he got to the 10,000th layer, the more spiritual energy was needed for each breakthrough. In these final layers, the requirement was increasing exponentially.

This indicated that reaching the 10,000th layer would definitely bring about a qualitative change!

Realizing this, Fang Yu felt quite pleased.

However, his body was in great discomfort.

After absorbing large amounts of spiritual energy, his dantian expanded even more, almost to the point of bursting at any moment.

Therefore, during the absorption process, Fang Yu endured extreme pain.

The pain from his dantian and meridians could make anyone instantly faint.

But Fang Yu endured it and didn’t reduce his absorption speed.

He had long desired to reach the 10,000th layer of Qi Refinement and couldn’t retreat at this point!

If his dantian couldn’t hold on before reaching the 10,000th layer and burst open, then Fang Yu would accept his fate.

After all, he had lived long enough.

In fact, dying this way would be a kind of release for him.

…

Another week passed.

During this week, Fang Yu only broke through four layers.

He was now at the 9,996th layer of Qi Refinement.

His cultivation level was stuck there, unable to rise further.

The origin crystal between Fang Yu’s hands had completely dimmed, losing its luster.

All the spiritual energy contained within it had been absorbed into Fang Yu’s dantian.

At this point, Fang Yu’s dantian had expanded to be larger than the nascent soul of an ordinary cultivator!

The small golden dragon circling his dantian had also grown considerably in size.

Throughout this week, Fang Yu had endured tremendous pain.

It could be said that this was the most painful week in nearly five thousand years.

It truly embodied the phrase “worse than death.”

But Fang Yu still gritted his teeth and persevered.

Now that he had stopped absorbing spiritual energy, the pain had lessened considerably.

Fang Yu spent another two days refining the unrefined high-intensity spiritual energy in his dantian.

During this process, he broke through another layer.

The 9,997th layer of Qi Refinement!

Just three layers to go!

Fang Yu opened his eyes, shooting out two terrifying golden beams!

“Boom!”

A snow peak hundreds of meters away was shattered by these two golden beams!

Fang Yu took a deep breath and looked around at his surroundings, then froze.

He had originally been sitting on the peak of a snow mountain, but now, this snow mountain had disappeared!

Fang Yu looked down and saw only a pile of collapsed snow!

Had the entire snow mountain collapsed?

Fang Yu’s eyes flashed with golden light as he scratched his head.

For the past half month, he had been focused internally and hadn’t noticed his surroundings.

Fang Yu stood up straight and stretched his muscles and bones.

“Crack…”

A series of explosions sounded around him.

“What’s happening?”

Fang Yu turned to look to the side.

With just one glance, the distant snow peak exploded again!

At this point, Fang Yu realized that after absorbing the origin crystal, the true qi in his body was uncontrollably leaking out.

But he had experienced this situation a few times before.

Fang Yu closed his eyes and forcibly pushed the true qi flowing through his meridians back into his dantian.

Soon, the light and lightning around his body disappeared.

“That’s about right,” Fang Yu said.

“Time to go back.”

Fang Yu looked toward the distant Blizzard Tribe headquarters, preparing to rush over.

“Aooo…”

But at this moment, he heard a deep roaring sound from behind.

This sound could only come from a gigantic creature.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Then, a series of collision sounds rang out.

Fang Yu frowned, looked back, and released his divine sense.

Soon, he saw that at the edge of the forest a hundred kilometers away, a beast as large as a mountain was violently ramming against a green light barrier shield in front of it!

This giant beast was covered in ice armor that gleamed with cold light, and on its head was a curved single horn, sharp and pointed!

This was… one of the strongest ferocious beasts, a tenth-rank demon beast, the Ice-Armored Unicorn!
