Chapter 461: The Existence in the Depths!
“Bang!”
The poison-barbed vampire bat, which was using its wings to protect itself, was smashed by Fang Yu’s fierce punch and exploded!
A ninth-rank beast, dealt with just like that!
A fist-sized core, emitting a faint glow, was held in Fang Yu’s hand.
Fang Yu gripped the core with his right hand, activated the Spirit Devouring Technique, and absorbed the spiritual energy inside.
At the same time, he chased after another target in a different direction.
Another winged beast had already flown ahead.
Compared to the poison-barbed vampire bat, this creature was much smaller in size.
An eighth-rank beast, the Ghost Pattern Butterfly.
Fang Yu knew quite a bit about this beast.
Four thousand years ago, there was a sect called the Ghost Pattern Sect. The Ghost Pattern Butterfly was a beast cultivated by this sect, used as a spirit pet for the sect’s disciples.
The Ghost Pattern Butterfly’s purpose, besides reconnaissance, was its hallucinogenic effect.
It was a beast capable of using illusion techniques!
Just one glance at its wings covered with bizarre patterns would trap someone in an illusion! Most cultivators couldn’t even detect it!
“Whoosh!”
Fang Yu moved like lightning, quickly catching up to the Ghost Pattern Butterfly.
The Ghost Pattern Butterfly seemed to sense the danger and immediately changed direction, attempting to dive downward.
“Swish!”
Fang Yu caught up behind the Ghost Pattern Butterfly and extended his right palm.
A ball of crimson flame roared past.
The Ghost Pattern Butterfly’s wings were instantly burned to ashes.
Fang Yu kicked out, exploding the Ghost Pattern Butterfly’s body.
Another core burst out from within.
By now, the poison-barbed vampire bat’s core had been almost completely absorbed.
Fang Yu tossed away the dried-up core and grabbed the Ghost Pattern Butterfly’s core, continuing to absorb it with the Spirit Devouring Technique.
After continuously absorbing high-intensity spiritual energy, Fang Yu’s meridians became even more expansive.
This caused the absorption speed of the Spirit Devouring Technique to increase significantly.
In the past, absorbing a ninth-rank beast core would take about a minute or two.
Now, it didn’t even take ten seconds.
While Fang Yu’s right hand absorbed the core, his body didn’t stop moving, diving downward.
There were many beasts on the ground, with a normal-sized leopard running at the front.
This leopard looked no different from an ordinary leopard in appearance.
But its speed and bite force far exceeded that of ordinary leopards.
Additionally, it contained the power of wind.
This was the Swift Leopard, an eighth-rank beast.
The speed of this Swift Leopard could reach at least subsonic levels.
But it wasn’t focused on running away; instead, it was charging toward the retreating Snow Tribe people.
At this moment, dozens of Snow Tribe members were using their innate snow powers to create barriers to block the Swift Leopard’s attacks.
This created the perfect opportunity for Fang Yu.
“Swoosh!”
In two seconds, Fang Yu appeared behind the Swift Leopard.
At this moment, the Swift Leopard was desperately charging at the snow wall in front of it, completely unaware of Fang Yu behind it.
Fang Yu appeared directly above the Swift Leopard, pressed his right hand on its head, and pushed down!
“Boom!”
The Swift Leopard’s head was pressed to the ground by Fang Yu.
For any living being, the head is the most important and also the most vulnerable part… except for the Ice-Armored Unicorn and that Spirit Dragon.
Fang Yu’s right hand glowed golden, tossing away the fully absorbed Ghost Pattern Butterfly core, then reaching into the Swift Leopard’s body to extract its core and continue absorbing.
At the same time, he sprang up and rushed toward the snowy forest on the left.
That Dark Golden Ape was frantically attacking a group of Snow Tribe people.
The Snow King was among them, using his agile movements to evade the Dark Golden Ape.
In Fang Yu’s eyes, all beasts had low intelligence.
Once they identified a target, they would continue attacking that target until it was killed.
This Dark Golden Ape’s target was the Snow King and the group of snow people behind him.
This provided convenience for Fang Yu.
“Whoosh!”
While the Dark Golden Ape was focused on hammering the Snow King in front of it, it completely failed to notice Fang Yu appearing at the back of its head.
Fang Yu clenched his right fist, which emitted a faint golden light, and smashed it against the back of the ape’s head.
“Bang!”
Its body remained in its original posture but was frozen in place.
Fang Yu flashed to the front of the ape, violently grabbed into the ape’s chest to extract a glowing core, and then rushed in another direction.
The Snow King’s group, who had been in a desperate battle, stared blankly in the direction Fang Yu had gone.
The group of snow people, whose expressions were usually unreadable, now had their mouths open in perfect circles.
In their field of vision, Fang Yu’s form, emitting a faint golden light, flashed between the snowy forests.
Each time he appeared, a beast would inevitably fall.
In just a few minutes, more than half of the nearly thirty high-rank beasts had died violently!
From what they observed, it seemed… too easy.
These were all eighth and ninth-rank high-level beasts!
In the outside world, dealing with any one of them would require enormous manpower and sacrifice!
But before Fang Yu, these beasts were like paper toys, basically one-hit kills without even a chance to resist!
“Is this… really a human?”
The Snow Tribe people looked at Fang Yu’s flashing figure with shocked gazes, as if looking at a true deity.
Meanwhile, Fang Yu was feeling quite bored.
Having just fought with the Ice-Armored Unicorn, facing these eighth and ninth-rank beasts offered no challenge whatsoever.
This wasn’t entirely a matter of rank.
These eighth and ninth-rank beasts weren’t weak; many were quite troublesome.
But their defensive attributes were simply too weak.
Fang Yu didn’t want to waste time, so each strike targeted vital areas.
These beasts simply couldn’t withstand a single hit from Fang Yu.
Besides boredom, Fang Yu was quite disappointed.
The eighth and ninth-rank cores were of little use to him now.
He had absorbed more than a dozen cores in succession, with vast amounts of spiritual energy pouring into his dantian, yet he couldn’t break through even a single layer.
Now only six beasts remained: three ninth-rank and three eighth-rank.
Even if he absorbed all six remaining beast cores, he still wouldn’t break through to the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-seventh layer.
“Sigh… it seems that without spirit veins, breakthrough is impossible,” Fang Yu sighed, charging toward the nearest beast.
The remaining six beasts, having witnessed the consecutive tragic deaths of their companions, seemed to realize the danger.
Especially the eighth-rank beast that Fang Yu was charging toward, the slowest Blood Luo Elephant, which even let out a miserable cry, as if begging Fang Yu to spare it.
Fang Yu didn’t care about any of that.
This Blood Luo Elephant had just been trying to charge and trample the Snow Tribe people; how could he possibly let it go?
“Bang!”
Fang Yu kicked the Blood Luo Elephant away, then extracted the core from its abdomen.
The massive Blood Luo Elephant fell to the ground.
“Hiss…”
At this moment, that strange sound came again from the depths of the Far North.
The remaining five beasts all retreated backward together.
“Since you’ve all come out, don’t think about going back.”
Fang Yu didn’t bother chasing them anymore and activated the Void Ring on his right finger, throwing five consecutive punches toward the direction the five beasts were fleeing.
He didn’t want to take their cores anymore; they were useless anyway.
“Crack…”
In the void in front of Fang Yu, one crack after another appeared.
The five punches, imbued with spatial law power, landed squarely on the five beasts trying to escape back to the depths.
The bodies of the five beasts were instantly destroyed!
After these five beasts were also killed, the entire snowy forest returned to silence.
No one spoke… or rather, no one could speak.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Fang Yu, their expressions dazed.
Fang Yu paid no attention to his surroundings.
He frowned, looking ahead toward the depths of the Far North.
He wanted to figure out the source of that sound.
So, Fang Yu released his divine sense, spreading it forward.
In just a few seconds, his divine sense crossed the barrier and entered a deeper position.
Here was another vast area of snowy peaks, with no visible signs of life for now.
But the area ahead was extremely vast.
Fang Yu’s divine sense spread forward about two kilometers, but the information received was still just a vast whiteness.
Who made that sound? By what means? Why could it travel so far?
Fang Yu’s brow furrowed even tighter as his divine sense continued to probe deeper.
“Bang!”
The next second, Fang Yu’s divine sense suddenly hit something, causing a huge noise in his head, followed by darkness.
