The First Venerable of All Paths

"Thump!"

On the lush grass, a figure fell heavily, shaking the ground. Several small animals hidden in the grass were frightened and fled deeper into the grass.

"Wow!"

Fang Xuan spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling as if all the bones in his body were about to fall apart.

"Buzz!"

The Phoenix Cry Sword appeared, protecting Fang Xuan and preparing him for any potential dangers.

Fang Xuan took out a pill and swallowed it, then circulated his internal energy to quickly heal his injuries.

He used his combined strength with his weapon to thwart Pang Long's attack and successfully entered the ancient cave.

However, he also broke up with Xiao Jinyu, and was seriously injured after falling from a great height.

The only good news is that the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor is not forbidden from entering this cave.

Perhaps because the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor was in a deep slumber and suppressed by the power of the cave, Fang Xuan was unable to awaken him.

"But none of that matters."

Fang Xuan stood up and looked around.

The mountains rise and fall, filled with spiritual energy.

Cultivating here is much more effective than doing it outside.

"It is impossible to fly here, nor is it possible to fly with a sword."

After his injuries were suppressed, Fang Xuan tried it out and came to this conclusion.

"Let's find a place to heal and get back to peak condition first."

He knew absolutely nothing about this cave.

Who knows what dangers lurk here? Maintaining your condition is the wisest choice.

"Buzzing!"

I had only taken a few steps when a piercing sound suddenly rang out.

The next moment, fist-sized black mosquitoes flew up from the grass and flew towards Fang Xuan.

These black mosquitoes all have long mouthparts, like sharp needles.

Its mouthparts are reddish-green, clearly indicating that they contain a deadly poison.

"Black-blooded mosquitoes?"

Fang Xuan's pupils contracted, and then he took off running without hesitation.

"Damn it, how did this thing get here!"

Fang Xuan moved extremely fast, fearing that if he was even a step slower, he would lose his life here.

The Blackblood Poison Mosquito is a gregarious monster, not particularly strong individually, equivalent to a third-tier monster.

However, because their mouthparts contain deadly poison and they are adept at flying, even powerful beings at the Divine Realm level would flee in terror if they encountered them.

These poisonous mosquitoes are far more ferocious than the six-winged flying ants that Fang Xuan had encountered before.

Once bitten, one's entire body will become numb and weak, and even one's Yuan energy will be unable to circulate.

They can only become food.

No matter how strong Fang Xuan was, he dared not confront these black-blooded poisonous mosquitoes head-on.

However, no matter how fast Fang Xuan was, because he couldn't fly on his sword, he was as slow as a tortoise in front of these black-blooded poisonous mosquitoes.

What made Fang Xuan's heart sink even more was that there were far too many of these black-blooded poisonous mosquitoes.

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of poisonous mosquitoes appeared behind Fang Xuan, like a black cloud, swarming over him.

Judging from the looks of it, he would be surrounded by mosquitoes in no more than ten breaths.

"Have we stumbled into the lair of the black-blooded mosquito?"

Fang Xuanzhong was in agony, but he dared not slow down at all, and could only push his speed to the limit.

"Buzzing!"

The swarm of mosquitoes flapped their wings, causing the void to tremble, and they were getting closer and closer to Fang Xuan.

"At this rate, these guys will catch up with us sooner or later."

Fang Xuan's face hardened, and flames flickered in his palm.

Just as Fang Xuan was about to use the Undying Phoenix Flame to force back the black blood mosquitoes, he suddenly saw two figures rushing toward him.

Fang Xuan recognized at a glance that the two men were Nangong Xingyu's guards.

They were all at the Qi Condensation Realm, and their strength was quite remarkable.

"Fang Xuan?!"

The two men also saw Fang Xuan, and while they were stunned, their faces were filled with wild joy.

"Quick, grab him!"

In their excitement, the two sped up and rushed toward Fang Xuan.

Manager Nangong had instructed that if they encountered Fang Xuan here, they must capture him at all costs.

"Arrest me? Then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Fang Xuan grinned maliciously, and golden dragonfish appeared around his body. Using the transformation of the dragonfish, he charged towards the two like an arrow.

Both sides moved quickly and soon closed the distance.

Two Tianbao Tower guards, their palms already brimming with Yuan energy, were preparing to launch a fatal attack on Fang Xuan.

"Kid, die!"

The two men's faces were contorted with rage, and they raised their arms to unleash a punch.

"Excuse me, you two!"

Just as their attacks were about to land on him, Fang Xuan stomped his feet on the ground, using the momentum to propel himself up, like a cheetah, and charged to the side.

"Want to leave? Stay!"

The two shouted and were about to turn around to stop Fang Xuan.

But the swarm of black-blooded mosquitoes buzzed and engulfed the two of them.

"Huh, what the hell is that?"

"Oh no, it's a black-blooded mosquito!"

Two screams rang out, but they couldn't break free from the swarm of poisonous mosquitoes. They could only watch helplessly as these mosquitoes inserted their mouthparts into their bodies, frantically sucking out their life essence.

Fang Xuan didn't dare to look back. Taking advantage of the time the Black Blood Poisonous Mosquitoes were delayed, Fang Xuan continuously used the Dragon Fish Transformation, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed out of the grassland and ran wildly towards the mountains and forests ahead.

"Buzzing!"

The black-blooded mosquitoes took flight again, continuing their pursuit of Fang Xuan.

As for the two Tianbao Tower guards, they had already turned into a pile of white bones, their deaths were tragic.

Seeing the black-blooded mosquitoes relentlessly pursuing him, Fang Xuan flicked his hand.

"go!"

Golden-red flames flew from his palm, transforming into a golden-red firebird that charged head-on towards the black-blooded mosquitoes.

"Crackling and popping!"

Flames swept across the area, and the smell of burning flesh and blood immediately spread.

Countless black-blooded poisonous mosquitoes melted away like snow before the Undying Phoenix Flame.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of black-blooded mosquitoes were burned to ashes.

Before long, the black-blooded mosquitoes were finally frightened and retreated.

But they did not leave; instead, they watched Fang Xuan from afar.

Hatred seemed to be gathering in those sinister compound eyes.

"If you're not afraid to die, come on!"

Fang Xuan grinned and manipulated the Phoenix Cry Sword to quickly carve out a cave large enough for him to take in on the mountainside.

In the blink of an eye, the cave was carved out. Fang Xuan waved his hand, and array flags were planted around the cave to protect it.

Fang Xuan then stepped into the cave and let out a long breath.

With a thought, he withdrew the Undying Phoenix Flame.

With the threat gone, the black-blooded mosquitoes fearlessly charged forward again.

Without saying a word, Fang Xuan used the Innate Sword Box as a door to block the entrance.

"Buzzing!"

These black-blooded mosquitoes not only didn't leave, but instead all lay on the mountainside and in the surrounding grass, seemingly waiting for Fang Xuan to come out so they could suck him dry.

Fang Xuan, who was inside the cave, naturally sensed this scene with his divine soul power.

But he didn't care at all.

He was afraid of these black-blooded mosquitoes because he needed to heal his injuries.

Once the injuries have healed, the Undying Phoenix Fire will be released, and these Black Blood Poisonous Mosquitoes will be no threat at all.

"Click-clack!"

Inside the cave, Fang Xuan inlaid the moonstone into the mountain wall, and its soft light shone into the cave.

Fang Xuan waved his hand, and countless spirit stones were laid out on the ground, forming a small spirit-gathering array.

Fang Xuan sat in the center of the formation.

Fang Xuan took out another pill and put it into his mouth without hesitation, using his internal energy to refine it and repair his injuries.

"Boom!"

The powerful spiritual energy continuously flowed into Fang Xuan's body, filling his dantian.

Golden patterns began to appear on Fang Xuan's skin.

This is the manifestation of the Chaos Sacred Body.

Once these golden patterns cover the entire body, the Chaos Sacred Body will reach the minor completion stage.

At that time, Fang Xuan's strength will undergo a dramatic change, and he will enter the ranks of true powerhouses.

But Fang Xuan knew that this would take a long time.

While Fang Xuan was hiding in a cave to heal his injuries, the bronze gate in Hai'er Valley slammed shut, preventing anyone from entering.

But no one left.

On the contrary, even more people are converging on the Valley of Children.

Some of them exchanged glances, each understanding the other's intentions.

They were waiting here, of course, to wait for those who had entered the cave to come out, and then... to seize the opportunities they possessed.

Among these people, those few experts at the Divine Intent Realm were the most outstanding.

A bloody storm is brewing silently.

But within the cave, a bloody massacre is unfolding everywhere.

"Get out of my way! I discovered the Marrow Cleansing Fruit first!"

"Heh, something unclaimed naturally belongs to whoever is strongest!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of light appeared, and a huge head fell to the ground.

The swordsman kicked the head off and grabbed the longan-sized fruit in his hand.

"Pfft!"

The moment his palm touched the fruit, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and all his strength was rapidly draining away.

He looked down and saw that an arrow had pierced his chest, and blood was dripping down.

He looked terrified and turned to look.

Another arrow flew in and pierced his throat.

"thump!"

His body went limp, and he collapsed heavily to the ground, his eyes vacant, his life force rapidly fading away.

He died without ever knowing where the person who killed him was.

After more than ten breaths, the archer hiding in the dense forest, after confirming that no one was around, slowly got up and went forward to put the Marrow Cleansing Fruit into his pocket.

"With this Marrow Cleansing Fruit, I will surely be able to advance to the Qi Condensation Realm!"

......

Xu Daikui was very excited.

I thought he would die at the hands of that boy named Fang Xuan.

Little did he know that the cave had just opened, and a series of unexpected events occurred, allowing him to narrowly escape with his life.

While Fang Xuan was fighting with the people from Tianbao Tower, Xu Da Kui desperately rushed into the cave.

It doesn't stop there.

Upon entering this place, Xu Daikui was fortunate enough to witness two demonic beasts fighting fiercely over a spiritual herb, their heads bleeding profusely.

The giant python eventually gained the upper hand, biting off its opponent's neck, but it was also severely injured and left on the verge of death.

Just as the giant python was about to devour the spiritual herb, Xu Daikui suddenly attacked, severing the python's head with a single stroke.

After obtaining the spiritual herb, Xu Daikui actually broke through two minor realms in succession after consuming it, reaching the sixth level of the Condensation Realm.

If that's the case, then so be it.

Xu Daikui actually found a storage ring inside the giant python's body. The owner of the storage ring had naturally become the giant python's food.

Inside the storage ring were tens of thousands of spirit stones, hundreds of spirit stones, and several bottles of pills.

Xu Daikui was laughing so hard his mouth almost split open.

At that moment, he felt that he was the chosen one.

Various opportunities came knocking on our door.

"Those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune!"

Xu Daikui clenched his fists, his face full of arrogance.

"That guy surnamed Fang must have come in too!"

Feeling the surging Yuan energy within him, Xu Daikui coldly snorted, "Don't let me run into you, or I'll skin you alive!"

Nangong Xingyu is going crazy.

As soon as he entered the cave, he was separated from the guards.

As if things weren't bad enough, Nangong Xingyu was also ambushed by a demon king, resulting in serious injuries.

But the other party still wouldn't let him go, and had been chasing him for half a day.

Looking back, he saw the eight-clawed spider, exuding a bloodthirsty aura, chasing after him at an unusually fast speed.

"Pooh!"

The eight-legged spider opened its mouth and spat out a blood-red spider web that covered Nangong Xingyu.

Desperately avoiding the spider web, Nangong Xingyu sprinted away.

"You damned beast! If you weren't so badly injured, I would have torn you to pieces!"
