Devouring demons, I attain immortality.

"This is the Spirit Cleansing Platform of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain. There are many demons in the late stage of instinct here. If you are lucky, you may also encounter demons in the awakening stage. Everyone, you can fight some demons here first and get used to it."

As the captain of the Blood Hunting Squad, Yang Feng began issuing missions after arriving at the Spirit Cleansing Platform.

"If we encounter demons at the late stage of Enlightenment or even the Awakening Realm, we should sound the signal flare and everyone should work together to kill them immediately..."

Yang Feng took out more than a dozen signal flares from his waist and distributed them to the members of the Blood Hunter Squad.

Lin An also received a signal flare.

The signal flare was also engraved with the mark of the Great Qian Demon Suppression Division.

"Of course, if we encounter a demon in the late stage of awakening, then we can save a signal flare..." Yang Feng smiled faintly.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

This late-stage awakened demon is equivalent to a peak Core Formation cultivator. If they were to encounter it, the entire Blood Hunting Squad would become the demon's food.

However, it's not so easy to encounter a demon in its awakening stage.

These demons who have reached the Awakening Realm possess intelligence no less than that of an adult human, and they have their own fixed territories. Generally, as long as humans do not invade, they will not provoke them.

When they encounter a stronger cultivator, these awakened demons will even take the initiative to avoid them.

Unless you're extremely lucky or extremely unlucky, it's very difficult to encounter such a thing.

At least in Wan Yao Mountain, although demons are rampant, they are all demons at the Instinct Realm and the Enlightenment Realm.

Demons at these levels generally have low intelligence and are prone to conflict with humans. In addition, they are also weak, so these demons often become targets for human cultivators.

"Everyone, our main target this time is demons in the late stage of the Enlightenment Realm, so if you encounter a demon in the late stage of the Enlightenment Realm, please be sure to sound the signal flare in your hand. Do not fight alone," Yang Feng said slowly.

"Don't worry, Captain. If we really encounter a demon in the late stage of the Enlightenment Realm, even if we all give up, we still won't be able to defeat it..." Wan Liang smiled bitterly.

After hearing this, Lin An nodded silently. A demon in the late stage of the Enlightenment Realm is equivalent to a human at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

This Blood Hunting Squad is mainly composed of Body Refinement stage cultivators, so Lin An doesn't understand what Yang Feng's methods are to deal with demons in the late stage of the Enlightenment Realm.

"Alright, everything's been explained. Everyone, go hunt demons!"

After receiving orders from Yang Feng, the Blood Hunting Squad...

They scattered to hunt demons, while some cultivators with insufficient strength chose to go in pairs or groups of three, and Lin An chose to go alone.

"Brother Lin An, why don't we go together? Having another person means we can help each other out..."

Wan Liang proactively extended an olive branch.

Lin An shook his head to indicate his refusal.

It wasn't that he was being stubborn or unwilling to team up with Wan Liang.

The main reason is that the Xuan Tian Seal, this secret treasure, cannot be seen by outsiders.

Nobody knows if there might be an insider from the Xuan Tian Battle Palace here.

He's not strong enough right now, so it's better for him to keep a low profile.

Seeing that Lin An refused, Wan Liang did not continue to invite him and quickly disappeared from the Cleansing Platform.

Watching everyone's departing figures, Lin An finally breathed a sigh of relief; now no one would disturb his cultivation anymore.

"The demons at this Cleansing Altar have been almost completely slaughtered... I think I'll find another place..."

Lin An had no interest in the Instinct Realm demons near the Spirit Cleansing Platform; his goal was to hunt down the demons of the Myriad Demon Mountain Forest.

This forest is located near the center of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, where, according to legend, there are demons at the Enlightenment Realm and even the Awakening Realm.

"Now, with the blessing of the Mysterious Heaven Seal, I can even put up a fight against demons in the early stages of the Enlightenment Realm..."

With a firm resolve, Lin An quickly rushed towards Lin Hai.

Upon entering the forest, Lin An encountered a beast at the peak of the Instinct Realm.

"I never expected it to be a pangolin. If this were another world, I really wouldn't dare kill it..."

Lin An did not hesitate and immediately summoned the Xuan Tian Seal.

In an instant, an overwhelming pressure descended, crushing the armored beast that was roaming in the forest!

Demons at the late Instinct Realm had no ability to resist the Xuan Tian Seal.

This demon, at the late stage of the Instinct Realm, is comparable in strength to a human cultivator at the late stage of Body Refinement.

Lin An himself was a late-stage Body Refinement cultivator. With the Xuan Tian Seal, he could easily kill armored beasts at the late-stage Instinct Realm.

This indicates that his current strength is almost at the Foundation Establishment stage.

[Beep! A trace of blood energy has been detected that can be absorbed!]

[Earth Spirit Energy: 2000 Spirit Energy Points!]

"Host, do you wish to devour?"

In my mind, the system's cold, impersonal notification suddenly rang out for no apparent reason.

Lin An nodded and said with a faint smile, "Devour!"

[Host: Lin An]

[Level: Peak Body Refinement, 12999/13000 Spiritual Energy Points]

Looking at his attribute panel, Lin An realized he was only one step away from breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage!

In addition, the Devouring System has an invincible cheat code that automatically increases spiritual energy, so Lin An's breakthrough happened in the blink of an eye.

[Host: Lin An]

[Level: Early Foundation Establishment, 1 point of spiritual energy / 200000 points of spiritual energy]

[Cultivation lifespan: 15 years.]

Looking at his newly updated attributes, Lin An was surprised that breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage would be so easy.

I actually broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage so smoothly.

"Cancan, human cultivator, why did you kill my food?"

Just as Lin An was preparing to find his next target, a voice suddenly rang out from behind him.

A strange sense of fear came from behind Lin An and went straight through his body.

I never expected to encounter a demon at the Enlightenment Realm so soon!

Moreover, the fact that this demon can speak human language so fluently shows that its level of cultivation is definitely not low!

At least a mid-stage or even late-stage Great Demon of the Enlightenment Realm!

"You humans are so annoying, always avoiding us like the plague..."

"But then it comes knocking on our door again."

"I have absolutely no interest in your human flesh and blood..."

"..."

Lin An closed his eyes and gently inhaled the warm, fishy-smelling...

air.

Immediately afterwards, he turned around abruptly and threw the Xuan Tian Seal into the depths of the forest.

With a soft, shattering sound from the forest, a sharp cry suddenly rang out from within, and the dark figure swiftly darted backward.

Lin An slowly stepped into the depths of the forest, his indifferent gaze sweeping over the surroundings.

The first thing that caught my eye was the demon that had just made its voice.

A long-armed ape demon, eight feet tall and covered in black fur.

The ape demon was hunched over, its arms hanging down to the ground, its face full of ferocity, and blood was still dripping from its fingertips, clearly indicating that it had just withstood a wave of Xuan Tian Seal.

Even a powerful demon at the Enlightenment Realm would suffer considerable injuries.

The ape demon smacked its lips and pointed at Lin An with its paw.
