After Xiu Tao fell into a coma, the absorption speed of the Soul Devouring Sutra became faster.
The cultivation of a Mahayana realm cultivator is naturally profound and boundless.
If the cultivation level of the integration period is regarded as a fish pond, then the cultivation level of the Mahayana period is a large lake.
A large amount of spiritual energy flowed through Fang Yu’s right hand and entered his meridians.
During this process, Fang Yu’s cultivation realm began to ascend.
And while Peach’s cultivation level was plummeting at an alarming rate.
Great Ascension Realm, Late Stage of Body Integration, Nascent Soul Stage…
Xiu Tao’s face, too, was aging rapidly.
Although originally wrinkled, it still seemed full of life.
And now, Huyu’s face has withered, even radiating a deathly aura.
This is quite normal.
Human lifespan is extended through the foundation of cultivation.
Once one’s cultivation level drops, their lifespan will naturally suffer a significant depletion.
Of course, this is still much better than those half-spirit races who forcibly improve their lifespan by exploiting the essence of spirit beasts.
Those within the Bansheng clan, once their spirit beast origins are consumed, their physical functions immediately return to their original limits. In most cases, that person instantly becomes a corpse.
Five floors, ten floors, fifteen floors…
Twenty-second floor!
Fang Yu absorbed all the cultivation of Xiu Tao’s body, breaking through twenty-two layers in a row!
At this time, his cultivation had reached the 10,775th layer of the Qi Refining Stage.
“It was a bit worse than facing an evil infant, but the breakthrough went very smoothly.” Fang Yu stopped running the Devouring Spirit Art, withdrew his right hand, and murmured to himself.
But he soon frowned again.
After ten thousand layers of Qi Refining, the speed of breakthrough is indeed very fast. Every time there are at least a few dozen layers of breakthroughs.
But for some reason… today’s breakthrough doesn’t bring the same sense of exhilaration as before.
To be honest, it’s just bland and doesn’t evoke much of a feeling.
Not only psychologically, but physically as well.
Even before reaching the ten thousand layers of the Qi Refining Stage, even breaking through a layer or two would still be noticeable.
For example, the dantian capacity has expanded, the meridians are wider and more transparent, and the physical body is stronger…
After ten thousand layers, breaking through dozens of layers doesn’t feel like much at all.
But breaking through the layers, is indeed real.
“What’s going on?” Fang Yu frowned, puzzled.
“Buzz…”
At that moment, he suddenly realized there was a noise coming from the sky behind him.
Turning his head, he saw the black dragon flying away into the distance.
“Oh, almost forgot you.” Fang Yu smiled coldly, tossing the unconscious Hiu Tao to the ground. With a stomp of his foot, he charged toward the black dragon that was fleeing at high speed.
The Black Drake sensed Fang Yu pursuing it from behind, its entire body shuddered violently, and its flight path became erratic.
But it quickly calmed down, its eyes glowed green, and it charged forward at top speed.
“It’s pretty fast.” Fang Yu was chasing after, his speed also increased to very fast, but the distance was being pulled further away.
Just as Fang Yu was about to accelerate forward, he suddenly noticed a black shadow flashing past him.
Fang Yu was stunned for half a second, his face changing.
It’s the Void Devourer again!
This big black dog, what it wants to do, Fang Yu is very clear.
He’s running so fast, just to swallow the black dragon whole.
But for now, the Black Winged Dragon still has a role to play against Feather.
As Hatchling’s mount, the Black Dragon must know a great deal.
If no more information can be gleaned from Xiaotuo, then the Black Winged Dragon may be a starting point.
And… perhaps we could glean some information about the dragons’ secrets from the Black Wyrm as well.
Within moments, the Devourer had closed the distance to within fifty meters of the Black Winged Dragon.
At this moment, the black dragon has reached the limit of its speed, tearing through the very air.
But to its dismay, the Void Devourer that pursued it seemed unaffected by the laws of space. It lacked wings, yet moved with a speed beyond comprehension!
At this rate, the Black Wyvern will be swallowed whole by the Void Devourer in less than three seconds!
“Get out of my way! This can’t be swallowed!” Fang Yu turned and chased after him, shouting loudly.
The Void Eater did not look back, continuing to charge forward.
“Little Kongkong, if you let it go, I can give you even tastier things later.” Fang Yu endured the discomfort and coaxed the Void Devourer in a tone similar to Zhao Zinan’s.
But the Devourer of Void disregarded this and continued to charge forward.
“Dead dog, you really think I can’t control you.” Fang Yu’s tone turned cold.
If soft won’t work, then let’s get tough.
Fang Yu’s body flashed with golden light, and the next second he charged out a distance of one hundred meters.
At this moment, the Void Devourer had caught up to the Blackwing Dragon from behind, its terrifying maw already gaping wide.
” ”
The black dragon let out a terrified roar, its body glowing and trembling.
The gaping maw of the void beast was about to close.
“Bang!”
The next second, Fang Yu’s figure appeared beside the Devouring Beast, his right foot drawing back before unleashing a powerful kick.
The Void Devourer’s enormous body flew out like a cannonball.
The void devourer’s maw was still closed, but it had only taken a large bite of air.
“Boom…”
The Void Devourer’s body crashed into the ground below, causing tremors.
Fang Yu then flew to the top of the black dragon, and his feet suddenly stomped down.
“Dumb…”
The black dragon let out a scream as it was stomped into the ground by Fang Yu from hundreds of meters in the air.
“Boom…”
The ground shattered with a deafening roar.
The Black Dragon’s body sank into the ground.
“Click!”
Fang Yu grabbed its wings with both hands and broke them again.
“Don’t run anymore, I don’t have the patience to chase you again.” Fang Yu said coldly.
The black dragon lay on the ground, twisting its head to glance at Fang Yu before immediately lowering it, its whole body trembling.
Fang Yu turned his head to glance at the smoke and dust in the distance.
The Void Devourer is still inactive.
Fang Yu turned his head, just about to go back and get Xiutáo as well.
“Whoosh!”
At that moment, a black mass flew into the air and landed squarely on Fang Yu’s shoulder.
It is precisely shrinking, reverting to the form of a pet puppy, Void Hound.
Fang Yu frowned, looking at the Void Devourer, and said, “Don’t think about attacking this Black Winged Dragon anymore.”
Woof!
The Void Devourer blinked its blue eyes and wagged its tail.
Fang Yu turned his head and ignored the Devouring Void Beast.
The Devourer lay on Fang Yu’s shoulder, its gaze fixed on the Shadow Dragon beneath Fang Yu’s feet.
As if sensing a chill gaze, the black dragon’s body trembled again.
……
This battle had repercussions that extended for nearly a hundred kilometers in every direction.
Fang Yu and Xiutáo’s battle began in a location covering nearly thirty kilometers of ground. The area was ravaged by intense bombardment, littered with craters and rubble, a truly horrific sight.
Of course, this is just physical damage. While it’s significant, this area was undeveloped suburbia on the outskirts of Beiducheng anyway, so the impact isn’t as severe.
The most serious areas are still where Fang Yu and Xie Sheng are fighting.
This place has experienced numerous instances of spatial fracturing, resulting in a multitude of space rifts.
With so many spatial rifts, it would take decades, if not hundreds of years, for Earth’s space laws to slowly repair them.
This also means that… the area will be under lockdown for this period of time.
Because, a spatial rift also brings extremely terrifying gravity.
Even ordinary cultivators, even if their cultivation realm is very high and close to these cracks… there is a risk of being sucked into the cracks.
Once sucked into the space rift… you’d be dead for sure.
And this shattered district was also very close to the outside city.
“Figure out a way to seal this place off.”
Before leaving, Fang Yu said to Huai Xu.
“Good.” Huixu immediately agreed.
He, especially Bai Konggu standing beside him, looked at the suspended peach in Fang Yu’s hand and the black-winged dragon that had returned to its original form with a shocked expression.
When Fang Yu told them to retreat, they already felt the apocalypse arriving.
Their mood at the time was pessimistic.
The outstretched giant hand of the black hole possessed the power to destroy everything.
He didn’t expect…Just a dozen minutes later, Fang Yu had captured both Xiutáo and the black winged dragon.
The giant paw retreated back into the black hole, and the black hole vanished.
From Fang Yu’s expression, it seemed he was unharmed and even a little relaxed.
“I’ll take these back first and let you know if they’re useful.” Fang Yu said.
“Alright… Brother Fang,” Wai Xu replied.
Bai Konggu took a deep breath and nodded.
He hasn’t come to his senses yet.
He had never imagined that one day, the high and mighty Mr. Xu… would be held in Fang Yu’s hand like a dead chicken.
