Chapter 635 The Greatest Crisis!
In the pit.
Ming River grabbed Fang Yu’s right foot with both hands, his expression extremely painful, with growls coming from his throat.
Fang Yu’s kick had directly pierced through Ming River’s arms and damaged his chest as well.
Although his body could regenerate after spiritual transformation, the feeling of pain still remained.
“Ah…”
As long as Fang Yu’s foot didn’t release, Ming River’s pain continued to intensify.
“What exactly do you Source Devourers want to do?” Fang Yu asked, looking at Ming River with narrowed eyes.
Ming River didn’t answer, but struggled painfully.
Fang Yu’s gaze was indifferent as he lifted his right foot and stomped down again!
“Boom!”
It directly pierced through Ming River’s left shoulder.
“Fang Changsheng, if you kill me today, what awaits you is the wrath of our entire Semi-Spirit race! The High Immortal will definitely avenge me!” Ming River howled miserably.
Semi-Spirit race…
Fang Yu’s eyes flickered slightly.
Obviously, this name was the name of this Source Devourer organization.
However, the term “Semi-Spirit” made Fang Yu’s expression turn strange.
In the cultivation world of the past, except for a small number of high-level spirit beasts, most spirit beasts didn’t have high status, similar to today’s pets.
And now this Semi-Spirit race, judging from the name alone, seemed to revere spirit beasts as divine beings.
When Fang Yu fought with Fu Yunhe in East Capital, what Fu Yunhe said also confirmed this point.
In the eyes of these Source Devourers, spirit beasts were much stronger than humans.
“If spirit beasts were really that strong, there wouldn’t be only this small portion left today,” Fang Yu said calmly, looking at Ming River. “Your practice of extracting longevity from spirit beast essences would have been treated as demonic cultivation in the past.”
Facing death, Ming River was no longer afraid.
He glared at Fang Yu with hateful eyes and said, “Fang Changsheng, you’ve been marked. Anyone who opposes our Semi-Spirit race can only go to hell!”
“Anything else to say?” Fang Yu asked.
“You will definitely regret it…” Ming River opened his blood-filled mouth and shouted.
“Bang!”
Before he could finish speaking, Fang Yu stomped on Ming River’s head.
Ming River’s voice abruptly stopped, and he could no longer speak, because his head had been completely destroyed.
After spiritual transformation, his body could repair itself, but with his head directly destroyed, there was only death awaiting him.
“You really kept talking when I let you… and always saying the same things, how boring.”
Fang Yu looked at Ming River’s remains and shook his head.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
At this moment, the battle between Red Lotus and Cold Charm continued in the air nearby.
Noticing Ming River’s disappearing aura, Cold Charm’s heart sank to the bottom.
Among the high-level guards, Ming River was considered to have the strongest physical body.
But facing Fang Changsheng, Ming River couldn’t even withstand two or three exchanges!
Cold Charm’s strength was not in close combat. Facing Red Lotus’s frenzied attacks, she was struggling greatly and had sustained many injuries.
The effects of the Blood Spirit Pill were also slowly dissipating.
Cold Charm grew more alarmed as the fight continued.
Because she knew clearly that if this continued, only one outcome awaited her.
That was being torn apart alive by Red Lotus!
“What should I do? What should I do!?”
Cold Charm didn’t want to die at all!
“Boom!”
But at this moment, Red Lotus had completely fallen into a frenzy, each strike carrying the determination to kill!
She was absorbing the Phoenix essence, and as the battle progressed, her power was actually growing stronger!
At this moment, Red Lotus could hardly maintain human form, completely transforming into a green phoenix.
Crimson flames covered her entire body, casting a red glow across the sky.
“Boom!”
Red Lotus flapped her wings forward, and a ball of scorching flames rushed toward Cold Charm.
Cold Charm’s face changed drastically.
The flames came from all directions, leaving her nowhere to escape!
With no choice, Cold Charm released her true energy to create a protective barrier, keeping the flames outside.
But she never expected that the true energy barrier couldn’t withstand these flames at all!
Almost instantly, the barrier was corroded by the flames!
“Ah…”
Facing imminent death, Cold Charm let out a shrill scream.
The next second, the flames engulfed her completely!
Cold Charm’s screams lasted less than two seconds before abruptly stopping!
These flames, enhanced by the Phoenix essence, incinerated her body to ashes in an instant, giving her no chance to struggle.
“Woo…”
Red Lotus raised her head and let out a long cry toward the sky.
…
At this moment, Fang Yu had already arrived at the high platform and sat down in meditation.
The pain from his dantian was becoming increasingly intense.
Looking inside his dantian, he could see that the light spot had now expanded to the size of a fist and was still continuously growing.
The small golden dragon was circling frantically, not slowing down at all.
Fang Yu used his divine consciousness to enter his dantian.
Seeing the situation inside, Fang Yu’s heart skipped a beat.
All along, the vast sea formed by the condensed spiritual energy in his dantian had been calm and peaceful.
But now, it was behaving abnormally!
The spiritual sea was churning, with waves rising one after another!
At this moment, Fang Yu finally understood where the pain in his dantian came from!
It was from this spiritual energy!
The spiritual energy that should have been stable and calm was now agitated!
In this situation, not just Fang Yu’s dantian which was already at its limit.
Even for an ordinary cultivator, such agitated spiritual energy would be extremely uncomfortable!
“It’s not really going to explode, is it?” Fang Yu felt a bit uneasy.
A year ago, facing this situation, Fang Yu wouldn’t have been too disturbed.
But now, he was just one step away from reaching the ten thousandth layer of Qi Condensation.
This was the only goal he had lived for all these years, and he didn’t want to lose everything when he was so close!
After nearly five thousand years of cultivation, to die because his dantian was ruptured by spiritual energy?
Fang Yu couldn’t accept such an ending!
“This can’t continue. I must find a way to suppress this agitated spiritual energy,” Fang Yu thought.
“Tap!”
At this moment, Red Lotus flew over, gradually returning to human form as she landed.
Seeing the essence above Fang Yu’s head, Red Lotus’s expression was somewhat complex.
Just as Phoenix had said before, Fang Yu was human, an outsider to the Phoenix clan.
Why would the Phoenix choose Fang Yu as its successor?
Of course, Red Lotus only felt puzzled, not resentful.
On the contrary, if Fang Yu hadn’t appeared, both essences would have fallen into the hands of the Source Devourers.
At this moment, Red Lotus only felt grateful toward Fang Yu.
However, after staring at Fang Yu for a couple of seconds, Red Lotus noticed that his complexion didn’t look right.
“Fang Yu, what’s wrong?” Red Lotus asked.
Fang Yu opened his eyes and looked at Red Lotus before him.
He saw that the Phoenix essence suspended above Red Lotus’s head was also sending down a red light.
This indicated that Red Lotus was also absorbing the essence.
But judging from Red Lotus’s expression and movements, she seemed quite relaxed.
Obviously, in the process of absorbing the essence, Red Lotus wasn’t suffering like Fang Yu.
But this was normal, after all, Red Lotus was a spirit beast without a dantian, let alone one stretched to its limits like Fang Yu’s.
“I need some time to refine this essence. If you’re free, please help guard me,” Fang Yu said.
“Alright!” Red Lotus immediately agreed, with some worry in her eyes.
Because, before this, she had rarely seen Fang Yu with sweat on his forehead and a pale face.
“By the way, if you notice anything wrong with me while guarding, you need to retreat quickly,” Fang Yu said.
“…I understand,” Red Lotus replied.
Fang Yu stopped talking and closed his eyes.
He was now trying his best to remain calm, wanting to suppress the churning spiritual sea within his dantian.
First step, trying to compress the dantian…
“Puff!”
As soon as Fang Yu tried this, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The current dantian couldn’t be touched at all!
It was like an over-inflated balloon; any casual touch could cause it to explode!
“What should I do…” Fang Yu’s mind raced, considering countermeasures.
He never imagined that after so many years, what could pose such a great threat to him would be his own dantian!
Beside him, Red Lotus saw Fang Yu spitting blood and her expression changed slightly.
But at this moment, she dared not speak or move.
She could sense the violent energy emanating from Fang Yu.
If she disturbed Fang Yu now, it might cause him to deviate in his cultivation, making the situation even worse.
