Devouring demons, I attain immortality.

Wherever it went, trees were struck down by lightning.

Many cultivators have tried to hunt it, but all have perished at its claws.

Lin An also learned that this Thunder-Patterned Demon Leopard seemed to have a special fondness for lightning, and would usually come out on rainy days, often appearing on mountain peaks.

Upon learning this news, Lin An began to pay attention to the weather changes.

Finally, on a day filled with dark clouds.

The distant rumble of thunder signaled to Lin An that his opportunity had arrived.

He took the Nine-Turn Demon-Slaying Blade and headed towards the highest peak deep within the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.

Along the way, the wind howled.

Large raindrops pelted down, hitting Lin An.

The mountain road was rugged and muddy, but Lin An walked on it as if it were flat ground.

Now, his cultivation level is powerful enough.

We are perfectly capable of handling this level of threat.

As he approached the summit, the wind intensified.

Lightning flashed wildly across the sky, each streak illuminating the darkness in an instant.

Lin An took a deep breath and, with unwavering perseverance, continued climbing.

Finally, he reached the summit.

Beside a giant rock at the mountain peak, he saw the Thunder-Patterned Demon Leopard.

The Thunder-Patterned Leopard sensed someone approaching, let out a roar, and leaped out from behind the boulder.

It was agile, and its fur shimmered with blue lightning.

Two sharp fangs gleamed coldly in the lightning.

The lightning power surrounding him made the surrounding air scorching hot.

"Well done!"

Lin An shouted and drew the Nine Revolutions Demon-Slaying Blade.

He exuded a powerful aura as he confronted the Thunder-Patterned Demon Leopard.

The Thunder-Patterned Leopard launched the first attack.

It was incredibly fast, like a bolt of lightning, as it pounced towards Lin An.

Its claws were imbued with intense lightning power.

If hit, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Lin An dodged the demonic leopard's attack with a swift movement.

He brandished the Nine-Turn Demon-Slaying Blade, its blade flashing as he slashed at the demonic leopard.

The leopard nimbly dodged Lin An's attacks while continuously unleashing lightning strikes.

In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared in the valley, accompanied by the glint of swords.

"cut!"

Lin An did not hesitate at all.

He leaped high into the air, the Nine-Turn Demon-Slaying Blade in his hand gleaming with light and carrying boundless killing intent as he slashed towards the demonic leopard.

boom!

With a loud bang, the demon leopard was struck by Lin An's knife.

It lay on the ground, lifeless.

Lin An successfully hunted down the awakened Thunder-Patterned Demon Leopard, and his strength was further enhanced.

Afterwards, Lin An accumulated enough spiritual energy.

He found a quiet place and began his secluded cultivation to break through his limitations.

With the help of spiritual energy.

His cultivation level completely broke through the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage and reached the Core Formation stage.

At the moment of breakthrough, Lin An felt his body was filled with power, and the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be submitting to him.

"Not bad! We've finally reached the Core Formation stage!"

"If we continue like this, further advancement in cultivation is just around the corner!"

Lin An was very satisfied with this.

However, this happened right after he broke through to the Core Formation stage.

Then a sound came from the woods.

Immediately afterwards, people from the War Bureau appeared in front of them.

These were the same people from the War Palace he had encountered before.

At this moment, he appeared in front of Lin An with a cold smile.

"We've known you for a while now, and you really are an old acquaintance!"

The middle-aged man in the lead said with a sneer.

"Since that's the case, then you might as well die!"

As he spoke, the men of the Zhan family drew their weapons and rushed towards Lin An.

A cold glint flashed in Lin An's eyes.

He thought to himself, "Perfect timing! My cultivation has just broken through; these people will be perfect for testing my strength!"

Thinking this, he drew the Nine-Turn Demon-Slaying Blade.

A direct conflict erupted with the other party.

A battle between the two sides is about to break out.

Those people were quite strong; after all, they came from the War Palace, were well-trained, and extremely powerful.

They coordinated perfectly, attacking Lin An from different directions.

But compared to Lin An, they were no match at all.

Lin An displayed the formidable strength of a Core Formation stage cultivator.

His swordsmanship became even more ferocious, each strike imbued with powerful spiritual energy.

"Look at the knife!"

Lin An shouted and slashed out with his sword.

A massive blade of light shot towards the Zhan family members.

Wherever the blade's edge passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, producing a piercing sound.

The Zhan family members hurriedly tried to defend themselves, but their strength seemed so insignificant in front of Lin An.

The blade's light instantly enveloped them all. A series of screams were heard as the members of the Zhan family fell to the ground, lifeless.

"Hmph, they're nothing but a bunch of ants!"

Lin An put away the Nine Revolutions Demon-Slaying Blade and said disdainfully.

Lin An didn't intend to waste it.

Instead, they planned to see what good things these people had and take those with them as well.

Soon, Lin An discovered that these people actually had quite a few good things on them.

Money, precious cultivation resources, and so on.

That's enough for me to make a small fortune.

However, he suddenly realized...

The blood of these people was gradually being devoured by the Xuan Tian Seal.

"Um?"

Lin An was startled.

He carefully observed the Xuan Tian Seal and discovered that it was showing signs of becoming more powerful.

Lin An secretly guessed that this might be related to the cultivation techniques practiced by the disciples of the Zhan Mansion.

He decided to study the Xuan Tian Seal carefully, hoping to discover more of its secrets and powerful abilities.

"If I remember correctly, there are far fewer people from the War Palace now than we have encountered before."

"In that case, I can use the remaining members of the War Palace as an experiment!"

Lin An thought to himself.

……

After successfully breaking through to the Core Formation stage and instantly killing a group of people from the War Palace, Lin An was not satisfied with his current gains.

He knew full well that the Zhan family would not let the matter rest.

The remaining members of the War Bureau must still be lurking in the shadows, eyeing him.

He was also filled with curiosity about the secret of how the Xuan Tian Seal became stronger after absorbing the blood of the Zhanfu people, and was eager to find out.

Therefore, Lin An made a bold decision.

For the next period of time.

On the perilous land of Wan Yao Mountain, he continued to hunt demons and improve his combat skills.

They searched for the remaining members of the War Bureau.

Every day at Wanyao Mountain is full of unpredictable changes.

Sometimes the sun shines brightly, making the mountains and forests unbearably hot and humid.

At other times, dark clouds gather and torrential rain pours down, plunging the entire mountain forest into chaos.

Lin An moved nimbly through the dense jungle, his movements as agile as a ghost.

His eyes were sharp, not missing a single corner where Zhanfu personnel might be hiding.

He becomes instantly alert at the slightest disturbance.

He gripped the Nine-Turn Demon-Slaying Blade tightly in his hand, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.

During the search over the past few days, Lin An also encountered many powerful demons.

These demons, whether hiding in deep valleys or lurking in ancient caves, all lunged at Lin An with bared teeth and claws upon sensing his presence.
