Start slaying demons from the proficiency panel.

The internal energy cultivated from the Burning Sun Taiyao Scripture was transformed into the Burning Sun Heavenly Gang, which overflowed from Ning Xiu's body and spread in all directions.

Before long, the area within a thirty-foot radius was filled with Ning Xiu's Burning Sun Heavenly Gang.

The previously dark underground space instantly became bright, allowing Ning Xiu to see the location of the mysterious youth.

At this moment, the other party was floating in mid-air with both feet off the ground. Above the boy's head, a huge smiling human head was floating, looking at Ning Xiu with a half-smile.

This object must be the foreign Yin God that the boy worshipped, but even Peng Futian's Protectorate failed to obtain any information about this Yin God.

"Hiccup~!"

The human head opened its mouth and burped, and immediately a large number of ghostly figures spewed out of its mouth, falling to the ground and turning into hideous vengeful ghosts that rushed towards Ning Xiu.

These vengeful ghosts crawl on all fours, but even so, they are more robust than normal adults, with bulging muscles all over their bodies, exuding a strong sense of oppression.

If such a monster were to appear in the homes of ordinary people, just one of them could destroy an entire village or town overnight.

Right now, the number of monsters appearing before Ning Xiu is as high as several hundred, which is no less than the power of an army.

Seeing this, Ning Xiu swung his arm and threw a punch. The surging fist energy contained the power of the Heavenly Gang, and it burst forth like a fire dragon. The fist energy, which was two zhang wide, was unstoppable in its path!

The moment those monsters came into contact with Ning Xiu's fist force, their bodies simply couldn't withstand the power. In just two or three breaths, they were reduced to ashes and burned to dust by the power of the Burning Sun Heavenly Gang.

...

Watching the monsters die, the boy was completely unconcerned. He knew very well that with Ning Xiu's first-grade martial arts strength, these monsters posed no threat to him.

Whenever a monster dies, a dark red blood bead bursts out of its body, flies backward, and is then swallowed whole by the smiling human head.

It seems that obtaining this blood bead is the boy's true purpose.

With a single punch, Ning Xiu swept away the monsters and stepped forward, preparing to close in on the boy and engage him in close combat where the martial artist had the advantage.

But the boy was well aware of the advantages and disadvantages of the Immortal and Martial paths. He raised his hand and pressed down, and the smiling face immediately puffed up its cheeks, just like someone who was holding in their poop and couldn't poop. Instantly, its face turned extremely red.

"vomit!"

With a sudden spit, this time, a massive lump of flesh, far larger than the previous monsters, detached from the smiling head's mouth, falling to the ground and splashing up a lot of sticky saliva.

hiss!

The next moment, a sharp claw burst forth, tearing the mass of flesh in two from the inside, and then a two-legged, eyeless monster with wings on its back emerged from it.

This monster was sixteen feet tall, almost the same size as Ning Xiu's Great Dark Heaven form. The moment it appeared, the atmosphere became extremely tense.

Ning Xiu noticed this peculiar monster immediately. Even with the Smiling Head's abilities, it could only swallow one in a short time, which was enough to prove that this monster was anything but simple.

"Roar!" Although the eyeless monster did not have eyes, it could accurately locate its target. With a flap of its wings, its entire body appeared in front of Ning Xiu in an instant, and its claws went straight for Ning Xiu's face.

Ning Xiu raised his arm to block, and with his other hand, he punched the monster in the chest. With the burst of fivefold strength, the monster's body simply could not withstand such an attack, and a large crater was formed.

"Huh?" Ning Xiu was a little surprised because the feeling of this punch was very strange, as if he had hit a soft, fluffy cloth, and his strength had nowhere to be released.

It felt like my attack had been absorbed.

The eyeless monster grabbed Ning Xiu's arms and rammed its head into his head. Ever since Ning Xiu possessed the Heavenly King Vajra Technique and now the Black Heaven Floating Pagoda Supreme Body, he had never been afraid of close combat.

Since the eyeless monster wanted to test its skills, Ning Xiu immediately swung his hammer with his back hand, smashing the eyeless monster's entire face into a cave-in.

The monster, in pain, immediately released its grip. Ning Xiu swiftly unleashed a barrage of punches, each one as fast as lightning, striking the eyeless monster's entire body.

boom!boom!boom!boom!

The sound of the punch was deafening, and the force of the punch even created a crater in the body, turning the eyeless monster into a tattered rag bag.

Generally speaking, even a martial arts master at the first rank would be half-dead if they took so many punches from Ning Xiu without any warning, if not killed instantly.

However, Ning Xiu could sense that the eyeless monster in front of him still had a lot of vitality inside it. His attacks on it were like scratching an itch through a boot, and did not pose a real threat.

"The sheer difficulty of this monster far surpasses that of the Yin God Jiu Niannii from last time, not to mention the human-headed Yin God who hasn't even made a move yet. No wonder this guy has the idea of ​​attacking Peng Futian; he certainly has quite a bit of confidence."

Ning Xiu thought to himself, then reached out and grabbed the eyeless monster by the neck and shoulder. With a burst of strength, he managed to tear a bloody gash across the monster's neck.

The eyeless monster tried to struggle, but it couldn't withstand Ning Xiu's immense strength. Before it could react, Ning Xiu ripped off its head, and it instantly lost its life.

Strangely, this time an even larger drop of blood floated out of the monster's body and fell into the mouth of the smiling human head.

The way it wolfed it down was as if it were savoring an exquisite delicacy.

"Good! Very good!" The boy looked at Ning Xiu, clapped his hands in satisfaction, and his eyes were full of affirmation for Ning Xiu.

This eyeless monster is so powerful that it can fight a martial arts master of the first rank for hundreds of rounds without a clear winner.

To be instantly killed by Ning Xiu in one move demonstrates that Ning Xiu's strength has surpassed the upper limit of the first rank and reached the top level. Such a master is exactly what he needs.

"I'll swallow you. Once I swallow you, it should be done." The boy smiled expectantly.

So the smiling head opened its mouth to its limit and began to vomit incessantly, with clumps of flesh falling one after another, giving birth to more eyeless monsters.

The eyeless monsters that appeared this time were significantly stronger than the one from before. In just a few breaths, the monsters born from the smiling human head had gained considerable strength.

A sudden realization dawned on Ning Xiu; he seemed to understand the power of this human-headed Yin spirit.

The Demon Subduing Division also secretly sent people to investigate the Yin Gods from other realms. Some Yin Gods are good at fighting, while others are skilled at causing plagues and disasters.

Besides these, there are many Yin spirits with special abilities. The one Ning Xiu has seen so far is likely capable of creating monsters, and each monster born is significantly stronger.

Ning Xiu had never heard of a Yin spirit with such abilities before, so it must be an extremely rare existence. For a mysterious young man to obtain it is undoubtedly a huge hidden danger.

If given time to develop, this person might become a major threat to the Shang Dynasty within a few years, posing a life-threatening danger to the people within the Shang territory.

"The number of these Yin slaves will only increase, so you'd better speed up your actions to deal with them, otherwise you'll die at their hands before I can even make a move," the young man laughed.

To get close to the boy, he had to deal with the monsters spewed out by the Yin God of Human Heads. Ning Xiu took a deep breath, grabbed with both hands, and the Yin Willow and Zhulong spears flew over and landed in his hands.

What would be a long weapon in the hands of an ordinary person, the spear in Ning Xiu's hands looked more like two short daggers, which suited his style better.

Seeing the first eyeless monster charging towards him, Ning Xiu took a step forward and plunged two guns into its throat.

After easily killing one, Ning Xiu turned his attention to the next one. This time, two more approached from the left and right, blocking Ning Xiu's space to move.

Ning Xiu used an elbow strike to knock back the one on the left, then plunged a spear into the chest of the one on the right, and with a twist, forcibly dug a large gash open.

One after another, the eyeless monsters perished under Ning Xiu's spears. The sharpness of Yin Liu and Zhu Long was beyond the bodies of these Yin slaves to withstand, and they died one after another under Ning Xiu's twin spears.

Each time a Yin slave dies, a drop of blood floats out of its body and returns to the mouth of the human-headed Yin spirit. Its expression is flushed with pleasure, as if it has taken a powerful tonic.

"It's almost there! Almost there! I feel that if this continues, the elixir will appear very soon!" the human-headed Yin God said hoarsely.

Hearing this, the young man nodded with satisfaction: "It seems I've really struck gold this time. I originally planned to use Peng Futian's power to refine the Breakthrough Pill, but doing so would have given me some risk of being killed."

But this person can generate so much energy even before reaching the upper level of the Dragon Elephant Realm; he poses no threat to me whatsoever. He's practically a perfect human servant; I'm even starting to feel reluctant to kill him later.

"Once you reach the Upper Dragon-Elephant Realm, you won't have to worry about finding a more suitable caretaker. You know how long it took you to become a First-Rank Immortal. With my help, the Upper Dragon-Elephant Realm is just a starting point. No one can predict your final destination."

The human-headed Yin God's face was flushed red as he grinned menacingly.

...

As the number of Yin slaves spat out from the mouth of the Yin God with the human head increased.

Ning Xiu killed swiftly, and gradually a large pile of Yin slave corpses accumulated under his feet. He could no longer remember exactly how many of these creatures he had killed.

Even so, the blind Yin slaves still came to swarm in as many as the sea.

With each death of a Yin slave, a drop of blood is sucked into the mouth of the Yin head spirit, whose face gradually turns crimson, resembling a large red lantern from afar.

Compared to the mysterious youth who has yet to make a move, what Ning Xiu is more concerned about is that Yin God.

Something seemed to be developing within the other person's body, and the more blood beads consumed, the stronger that development became.

"Almost there! Almost done! It's about to be finished!"

The human-headed Yin spirit was excited and delighted, as it opened its mouth to its limit, which took up nearly two-thirds of its face area.

A drooling tongue emerged from the mouth of the Yin God. The surface of this tongue was covered with numerous intertwined tree roots, which were deeply embedded inside the Yin God's tongue, forming a seamless whole.

At the tip of the tongue, three tree roots intertwined and transformed into a sapling, on which grew a golden fruit surrounded by light.

"Wow!" The boy couldn't help but get excited the moment he saw the fruit.

Being closest to the fruit, he could clearly feel the life and vitality emanating from it.

"How much longer?" the boy asked.

"It is about to ripen."

The more faceless Yin slaves appeared, the stronger they became, and the blood beads that appeared after they died also caught Ning Xiu's attention.

This thing is somewhat special. Whenever he tries to capture the blood bead, he finds that no matter what he does, he cannot stop the blood bead from flying back into the mouth of the Yin God.

Looking at the proficiency panel, which showed that he had accumulated nearly 20,000 proficiency points in just a short time, Ning Xiu upgraded his Black Heaven Floating Pagoda Supreme Body by one level.

The existence of the human-headed Yin spirit always felt strange to him, and he had to be on guard.

As Ning Xiu killed another faceless Yin slave, the blood bead entered his mouth, and the golden fruit on the tip of the human-headed Yin spirit's tongue suddenly burst forth with a halo of light, rendering the area within a two-zhang radius of the human-headed Yin spirit completely golden.

"It's ripe!" the human-headed Yin God said with satisfaction.

Upon hearing this, the boy immediately stepped forward and plucked the golden fruit from the tree.

"A breakthrough elixir!" The young man's eyes gleamed with excitement, and he immediately took a bite of the golden fruit.

The fruit may appear hard, but its flesh melts in your mouth, turning into juice that flows into your stomach.

A powerful force coursed through his entire body, coursing through every meridian. The young man, who was already at the bottleneck of the first rank of immortal cultivation, experienced a slight loosening of his position.

Ordinary people are ranked in nine grades, while saints are ranked in three realms.

If one can take this step, one will reach the Dragon-Elephant Upper Realm, which is the dream of countless First-Rank cultivators. Only when one reaches that realm can one truly distinguish between the mortal and the saintly.
