The First Venerable of All Paths

"Buzz!"

After this punch was thrown, Fang Xuan was completely stunned.

With a loud cry, a ball of golden-red flame burst forth from Fang Xuan's fist.

Immediately afterwards, the ball of flame transformed into a fist-sized, golden-red bird, which, with overwhelming power, slammed into the tentacles.

burst!

overbearing!

majesty!

There was also an extreme killing intent.

With so much power poured into this punch, it far surpassed Fang Xuan's most powerful strike to date.

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

All the tentacles, like fragile pieces of paper, were utterly powerless against this terrifying fist energy and were completely destroyed.

"Awooo!"

The Octopus Demon King was stunned for a moment, then let out an extremely shrill scream. The violent demonic energy raged out, stirring the entire magma world up and down.

Looking at the octopus demon king that was in the midst of a riot, Fang Xuan stared blankly at his fist, his face full of shock.

"So strong!"

He then realized that he was in a mysterious state.

The specific realm is completely undetermined.

It resembles the peak of the Body Refinement Realm, and also the Qi Gathering Realm.

It's more like the Condensation Realm.

The mind, body, and spirit are incomparably clear and empty.

Yuanli, Qi and blood, and spirit are perfectly integrated into one.

What I have learned and practiced has become clearer in my mind, as if I have gained a deeper understanding.

That's why he was able to deliver that incredibly amazing punch.

"Could it be because of the Undying Phoenix Flame?"

Fang Xuan had some guesses.

He looked at the roaring octopus demon king with eager eyes, as if he wanted to verify this.

Thinking of this, Fang Xuan took a deep breath, and the vital energy in his body rapidly boiled up, finally circulating to his palm.

"call!"

Golden-red energy enveloped his palm, surrounded by terrifyingly high temperatures.

"The vital energy actually possesses the Undying Phoenix Flame!"

Fang Xuan's eyes lit up, and then he struck out with his palm without hesitation towards the Octopus Demon King.

"Buzz!"

A golden-red fiery palm actually condensed above Fang Xuan's head and pressed down viciously towards the Octopus Demon King.

"Release your elemental power!"

Fang Xuan's eyes flashed with a brilliant light, finally confirming the true state of his current realm.

But Fang Xuan had no time to explore his own changes. Instead, he urged his palm to smash towards the Octopus Demon King.

As the fiery hand struck, the Octopus Demon King was so frightened that he retreated abruptly, his single eye filled with terror.

From its perspective, what Fang Xuan was striking was not a fiery palm at all, but a majestic and domineering golden-red phoenix.

"Boom!"

The Octopus Demon King dared not take the blow. He twisted his body and rushed into the depths of the magma without looking back.

The speed was many times faster than when they came.

At this moment, it was completely bewildered.

As the noblest being in the world, the most ancient divine beast, it was actually refined by a human boy.

Such a thing is completely impossible in its bloodline memory.

No matter who that kid is, he's not someone you can mess with.

Fang Xuan watched helplessly as the Octopus Demon King escaped, but he did not give chase.

After confirming that the other party had really left, Fang Xuan sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and silently began to sense.

"really!"

After a long while, Fang Xuan opened his eyes, a deep smile curving his lips.

Immediately, a hearty laugh erupted from Fang Xuan's mouth, growing louder and louder, like a thunderclap, echoing throughout the entire magma world.

The octopus demon king, who had already escaped several miles away, was so frightened by the laughter that he shrank to the size of a fist and fled deeper into the area.

Finally, the Octopus King hid in a lava cave and dared not show its face again.

On the lotus platform, Fang Xuan stopped laughing, his eyes becoming increasingly profound.

"Come!"

Fang Xuan waved his hand, and boundless fire elements, like a long dragon, roared towards him.

These fire elements were extremely concentrated.

Without Fang Xuan needing to refine it at all, the Undying Phoenix Fire within his body automatically refined all these fire elements into pure energy, which then rushed into Fang Xuan's limbs and bones.

"Boom!"

The energy, like countless rivers flowing into the sea, surged into Fang Xuan's dantian.

On the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, an imperial mark instantly turned golden-red, emitting an aura that terrified all living beings.

Fang Xuan's cultivation level broke through to the ninth level of the Body Refinement Realm without any hindrance, reaching its peak.

"Snap!"

Just as Fang Xuan was about to enter the Qi Gathering Realm, a booming sound came to his ears.

Fang Xuan suddenly looked up, his expression turning serious.

at the same time.

Above Phoenix Singing Mountain.

Dark clouds gathered, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.

A terrifying divine might enveloped the entire Phoenix Cry Mountain.

Ye Zhuang and the others, who were waiting in the mountains, felt their legs go weak and were so nervous that they didn't even dare to breathe.

Zhongye was even worse.

He lay face down on the ground, his buttocks sticking up high, and his whole body was trembling.

Fortunately, the strange phenomenon came and went quickly, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The sky once again became cloudless and a clear, azure blue.

"it's over?"

Grandpa Zhong stood up, still shaken, his voice trembling.

"It seems so."

Ye Zhuang swallowed hard, equally terrified.

"Grandpa Zhong, will the young master be alright?"

Nannan spoke softly, as if afraid of disturbing the strange phenomenon she had just witnessed.

"Of course!"

Upon hearing this, Master Zhong immediately straightened his back and said confidently, "Young Master is the chosen one, favored by Heaven, so naturally everything goes smoothly for him."

"But it's been almost ten days, and the young master still hasn't come out."

The little girl frowned and said, "Should we go in and take a look?"

"this......."

Zhongye hesitated and said, "Wait two more days. If the young master doesn't come out, we'll go in and look for him."

A world of lava, atop a lotus throne.

Fang Xuan was somewhat disappointed when he sensed the disappearance of the strange phenomenon.

"It seems that stepping into the extreme realm again will not be an easy task."

Just now, he clearly felt that he could break through to the pinnacle of martial arts once again.

However, at a crucial moment, it was interrupted for unknown reasons.

"However, this achievement is already enough."

Fang Xuan stood up, his expression invigorated.

This time, he not only obtained the Undying Phoenix Flame, but also put himself in a mysterious state.

If Fang Xuan wanted, he could break through to the Condensation Realm right here without encountering any realm barriers.

Fang Xuan simply wanted to challenge himself to see if he could break through to the pinnacle of martial arts for the second time.

"Senior, please rest assured. Now that I have received your favor, one day I will bring back the heritage of your clan."

Fang Xuan whispered something, then prepared to leave.

He glanced at the lotus platform beneath his feet, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"This is a good thing, we have to take it with us."

After saying that, Fang Xuan released his golden-red Yuan Power, which instantly enveloped the entire lotus platform.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the lotus platform began to tremble, and then began to shrink.

As the lotus platform shrank, a terrifying suction force was released from it, frantically drawing in the surrounding fire elements.

Lava churned and flames roared.

A full hour later, after absorbing nearly a third of the fire element from the entire magma world, the lotus platform shrank to the size of a palm and fell into Fang Xuan's palm.

"The Fire Essence Lotus Platform is a supreme treasure for aiding cultivation."

Fang Xuan happily put away the lotus platform: "After my little sister awakens her martial veins, I will give this to her as a gift."

The Fire Essence Lotus Platform is formed from the essence of the earth's core fire veins.

Sitting on it to cultivate can make your efforts twice as effective.

Most importantly, this Fire Essence Lotus Platform can draw upon the fire elements of heaven and earth to replenish its losses, making it inexhaustible.

For martial artists who cultivate fire-attribute techniques, this Fire Essence Lotus Platform is far more valuable than a scroll of Earth-rank techniques.

It was through this that the divine beast Phoenix was able to maintain its true spirit until Fang Xuan arrived.

"It's time to leave."

After doing all this, Fang Xuan left the lava world.

......

"We can't wait any longer!"

On Phoenix Cry Mountain, Ye Zhuang said with a grave expression, "Young Master is definitely in danger. I need to go in and find him!"

"I'm going too!"

"And me!"

The other villagers from Ye Family Village also stepped forward, ready to go find Fang Xuan.

"We can't send everyone!"

Zhongye suggested, "Dazhuang, pick a few men and go in to find the young master."

"remember!"

Master Zhong said in a deep voice, "Whether he's alive or dead... ptooey, ptooey, ptooey, young master isn't in any trouble!"

"Dogwa, Dogsheng, Deaf-Mute, the four of you come with me."

Ye Zhuang quickly selected four villagers and prepared to go find someone.

As for the other villagers, they all had injuries to varying degrees.

Although they were born with special physical constitutions, their strength became extremely powerful after they began to cultivate.

However, his previous entanglement with those blood slaves exposed many shortcomings.

For example, combat experience, skills, application of martial arts, and teamwork all need improvement.

In addition, the old man emerged from the mountain crevice and severely injured the two of them.

Although he has recovered well after these days of rest, it is definitely not advisable to take any risks.

Just as Ye Zhuang and his group were about to enter the mountain crevice to search for Fang Xuan.

Suddenly, the massive mountainside was filled with flying rocks, revealing a passage.

Amidst the smoke and dust, a figure slowly emerged.

It was Fang Xuan.

"Young Master!"

Upon seeing Fang Xuan, Zhongye let out a wail and rushed out with lightning speed, grabbing Fang Xuan's leg.

"Young master, this old servant thought I would never see you again, sob sob sob."

With a single circulation of his internal energy, Fang Xuan sent Zhong Ye flying.

"Ouch!"

Zhongye rubbed his buttocks and said exaggeratedly, "You're really strong. It's only been a few days, but your skills have improved quite a bit."

Ignoring the obsequious Zhong Ye, Fang Xuan looked at Ye Zhuang and the others, his brows furrowing involuntarily.

"What happened?"

He discovered that Ye Zhuang and the others were breathing heavily and were all injured.

"It's all because of those damned blood slaves."

Upon hearing this, Master Zhong angrily said, "Originally, I led everyone to prepare for a great battle against those blood slaves, but who knew that sinister old man would suddenly appear, beat up several people, and then control the blood slaves to fight back, which is why everyone got injured."

Fang Xuan suddenly remembered the old man in black he had met in the cave.

This person is extremely powerful and also skilled in creating blood slaves.

If he hadn't used some tricks, he really wouldn't have been able to enter the Earth's Core Fire Vein and obtain these benefits.

"Fortunately, the old servant was quick-witted and led everyone to wander around the mountain, and finally managed to get rid of that guy."

Master Zhong chuckled and said, "Young Master, this old servant hasn't let you down, has he?"

Nannan asked in confusion, "Grandpa Zhong, wasn't it because you were being chased all over the mountain by the blood slaves that we went to rescue you?"

"Go away, what do you know, you little girl?"

Zhongye said with a look of disgust, "I deliberately feigned weakness to exhaust their strength."

These words immediately caused Ye Zhuang and the others to roll their eyes.

The little girl covered her mouth and smiled.

"Grandpa Zhong is really shameless."

Fang Xuan shook his head helplessly and said, "Alright, as long as everyone is alright."

"By the way, young master, how was your trip?"

Old Zhong rubbed his hands together, his face full of anticipation, and said, "Did you come back with a full load?"

"There have been some gains."

Fang Xuan quickly changed the subject, saying, "Alright, let's go take a look at the old site of Ye Family Village before it gets dark."

He had made a promise to Ye Zhuang and the others, so naturally he had to keep it.

"Great! Thank you, young master!"
