Wild Dogs

"Master, give it your all!"

Seeing that Yang Fan's divine sense was beginning to gain the upper hand, Zhou Peng immediately mustered his strength and launched an attack on the soul beast.

After a fierce battle with the soul beast, his divine sense was also severely damaged.

But he understood that now was the time to strike while the enemy was down. If he couldn't take this opportunity to kill the soul beast, he would be the one to die.

So he still rushed towards the soul beast without hesitation.

In an instant, he became entangled with the soul beast, allowing Yang Fan to attack the soul beast with peace of mind.

And so, after about half an hour, the soul beast's consciousness was finally completely suppressed.

Yang Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, as the soul beast's consciousness was absorbed by him, Yang Fan felt that his consciousness had become much stronger than before.

He has only just established his foundation, but his divine sense is already comparable to that of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"nice one."

Yang Fan was extremely excited at this moment.

He continued to gather more divine sense and press it down on the last trace of the soul beast's spirit within the Human King Banner.

After completely annihilating the soul beast, Yang Fan's divine sense had steadily reached the peak of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

"This is good stuff."

Yang Fan clenched his fist in extreme excitement.

Just then, Zhou Peng, who was standing to the side, said something that sounded aggrieved.

"Master, you've had your fun, but I'm covered in injuries."

Yang Fan burst into laughter.

"Don't worry, next time I kill this soul beast, I'll leave you some to make up for it."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Peng waved his hands repeatedly.

"Master, I don't need this."

"Oh? Why don't you need it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Peng gave a wry smile.

"I don't understand the secret technique you're practicing now, Master. If I swallow this kind of soul, its memories and personality will affect me, which will be of no benefit to me."

"As for me, I just need to rest and recuperate here, and I will gradually recover some of my strength."

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan snorted coldly in his heart.

Zhou Peng's words clearly indicated that he wanted Zhou Peng to teach him the Soul Devouring Technique as well.

But why would Yang Fan pass on the Soul Devouring Technique to him?

Once Zhou Peng obtains this thing, he can easily devour some souls inside, making him even stronger than himself.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Fan nodded.

"Alright, then you can focus on your cultivation for now."

"Let's go ahead and look for more soul beasts."

"What? Master wants to take on the challenge?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan laughed.

"I'm only now realizing the benefits of this enhanced spiritual awareness."

"After his divine sense was raised to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, the range that his divine sense could probe more than doubled, which excited him greatly."

"If I can raise my divine sense to the late Foundation Establishment stage, the range of my divine sense's detection will definitely expand again."

Thinking about this, Yang Fan was eager to try it out.

"Master, if you want to devour those soul beasts, you have to consider my life or death."

Zhou Peng spoke hurriedly.

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan smiled and waved his hand.

"Don't worry, with my powerful divine sense protecting you, you'll be fine."

Then, Yang Fan took the initiative to walk forward, now he had these two puppets protecting him on the left and right.

He has successfully broken through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage in terms of spiritual consciousness, and has mastered the Soul Devouring Technique, so dealing with new soul beasts will be much easier.

And so, Yang Fan charged forward, actively seeking out soul beasts.

After a while, as the surrounding chill descended, Yang Fan knew that new soul beasts had arrived.

A moment later, Yang Fan rushed forward, and this time he was facing a black tiger.

This tiger was significantly larger than the previous black wolf, indicating that its spirit was much stronger.

Yang Fan's expression changed involuntarily.

"Damn it, looks like we've run into a tough nut to crack this time."

"Master, there's no way to escape now, we have no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it."

Although Zhou Peng was extremely dissatisfied with Yang Fan's initiative to seek out soul beasts, he had no choice but to listen to Yang Fan and obediently urged him on.

"Of course I know that there's no turning back now; there's only room for advancement."

Yang Fan immediately pounced on the soul beast, and the soul beast also pounced on Yang Fan.

The two puppets desperately rushed forward to try and stop the soul beast, but to no avail. The soul beast simply passed right through them and pounced on them.

Yang Fan shook the Human King Banner, once again controlling the divine soul within it.

After controlling his soul, Yang Fan repeated the process, having Zhou Peng attract the soul beast's attention from the front while he launched sneak attacks from behind.

Half an hour later, Yang Fan also dealt with the black tiger soul beast.

This time, Yang Fan finally raised his divine soul to the late stage of Foundation Establishment. Although he was still a little short of the peak of the late stage of Foundation Establishment, it was still a significant improvement.

Having tasted success, Yang Fan continued charging forward.

Several hours later, Yang Fan devoured the souls of several soul beasts in one go.

His soul had reached the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage, and he was only one step away from entering the Core Formation stage.

"I never imagined my soul could improve so much so quickly."

Yang Fan was truly captivated by this Soul Devouring Technique.

"This thing is too powerful. If only cultivation could be absorbed so easily."

Yang Fan smiled bitterly to himself.

However, such thoughts and ideas are just wishful thinking.

Cultivation is something that depends on one's own true ability; one cannot improve one's strength by devouring other cultivators, or one would truly become an evil cultivator.

After flying forward for a while, Yang Fan stopped.

He needed more soul beasts at this point, but he had clearly already passed through these hordes of wandering souls.

The number of souls ahead is becoming increasingly scarce, and as the number of souls decreases, the number of soul beasts naturally decreases as well.

After a while, Yang Fan passed through the group of souls and spirits, successfully making it through. However, there wasn't a single soul beast in front of him, which made Yang Fan extremely disappointed.

"What a pity. If there were more soul beasts, my divine sense might have been able to break through to the Core Formation stage in one go."

If Yang Fan's divine sense breaks through to the Core Formation stage, he will be even more confident in facing Xue Ming.

However, after passing through these groups of spirits, he stopped and looked ahead.

Before him stretched an endless expanse of graves, tall and imposing, their tombstones leaning precariously.

Looking at these tombstones, Yang Fan frowned slightly.

"Why are there so many tombstones in the Xuan Yuan Secret Realm? Could they have been built by the various sects in the past?"

Thinking about it carefully, Yang Fan could understand. When the various holy lands and sects left their restrictions here back then, they probably buried a lot of corpses.

However, those who can be buried here are probably all prominent figures.

Thinking of this, Yang Fan shook his head, walked forward, and looked at the tombstones. He walked to one of the tombstones and glanced at it.

"The Tomb of Elder Ma Qing of the Tongming Sect".

Looking at the words on the front of the tombstone, Yang Fan murmured to himself.

He then went around to the back of the tombstone.

The back of the tombstone described the elder's life. After looking at it, Yang Fan felt a pang of sorrow.

The tombstone marks the grave of a cultivator in the late stage of Core Formation.
