Chapter 452: Chapter 452

His mind shifted, surging towards the Shennong Ring.

"Hmm! Why is there no response? Could it be that the Shennong Ring also can’t be opened?" Zhang Xiaohao frowned as he spoke.

He tried several more times.

The result was the same; the Shennong Ring was also restrained by a mysterious force and couldn’t be used.

"Damn! Seems like I really have to fight this time." Zhang Xiaohao’s eyes sharpened as he said.

A spark of inspiration flashed through his mind.

"Shit! How could I have forgotten about the Fish Intestine Sword?" Zhang Xiaohao cursed under his breath.

With a tap of his foot, he leapt back into the giant pit.

After searching, he found the Fish Intestine Sword from beneath the ruins.

"Haha! True Qi is restrained, Soul Power is restrained! With the Fish Intestine Sword in hand and the Netherworld Demon Body, I am the absolute overlord here!" Zhang Xiaohao declared with an air of dominance.

With a flicker, he soared out of the giant pit once again.

Grasping the Fish Intestine Sword in one hand, he relied solely on the strength of his Physical Body and chose a direction, speeding off rapidly.

Suddenly, the ground in front of him cracked open.

A huge black beast, resembling a lizard, burst out from underground.

Its tail swept across, stirring up a hurricane, violently smashing towards Zhang Xiaohao’s head.

"Hmph! A mere Foundation Establishment Realm beast daring to be presumptuous in front of me, die!" Zhang Xiaohao snorted coldly.

He slashed forward with the Fish Intestine Sword in his hand.

A cold light flashed, directly cutting down the lizard-like beast.

The black lizard beast was slain and dissolved into a puff of black smoke, disappearing from sight.

A black Crystal Stone dropped to the ground.

"Eh! What is this?" Zhang Xiaohao’s eyes lit up as he spoke.

He soared over and picked up the black Crystal Stone from the ground.

The black stone was exquisitely small, only the size of two fingers, yet filled with a mysterious power inside.

Zhang Xiaohao’s mind shifted, instinctively wanting to devour the mysterious power within the black Crystal Stone.

It seemed as if the black Crystal Stone in his hand was like the Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pill, filled with immense temptation.

"Is this a Spirit Stone? But it doesn’t look like it! Could it be a special product from this place?" Zhang Xiaohao wondered, frowning.

Humph! No matter what it is, for now, he pocketed it and decided to examine it more closely when he had time.

Right away, he put the black Crystal Stone into his pocket.

Since he couldn’t open the Shennong Ring, it really ended up in his pocket this time.

With a tap of his foot, Zhang Xiaohao continued to charge forward.

About five minutes later.

Zhang Xiaohao stopped, to be precise, he was surrounded by a group of beasts.

In the black sky above, a flock of circling vulture beasts, well over a hundred of them, each vulture beast possessed at least the Physical Body strength of the Foundation Establishment Realm Peak, and among them, more than twenty possessed the strength of a Physical Body from the Peak of Hundred Veins Realm.

The leading vulture king beast had even reached the Peak of Hundred Veins Realm in Physical Body strength.

With a fierce roar from the leading vulture king beast,

the hundreds of vulture beasts in the black sky dived down, charging at Zhang Xiaohao from all directions.

With sharp claws striking and wings like blades, they whipped up a huge storm and slashed at Zhang Xiaohao.

"Hmph! A bunch of beasts thinking about stirring trouble on my head! Utterly overestimating themselves," Zhang Xiaohao sneered disdainfully.

If it were someone else, with both True Qi and Soul Power restrained,

facing these bloodthirsty and frenzied vulture armies would be like fish on the chopping board, at their mercy to be slaughtered.

Zhang Xiaohao was different, having consumed that two thousand-year-old Red Fruit, his Physical Body was fortified inside and out.

Zhang Xiaohao cultivated the Netherworld Demon Body, enduring high-voltage electricity and surviving lightning strikes.

At full power, the Netherworld Demon Body operated as he held the Fish Intestine Sword, standing there impassively.

As the vulture army drew near, Zhang Xiaohao made his move.

With a forward slash of the Fish Intestine Sword in his hand, he quickly swung it about with no particular technique in mind.

But he managed to defend himself firmly, each swing of the sword ensuring the death of a vulture demon beast.

As these vulture demon beasts were slain one after another, turning into streaks of black qi that dissipated, crystal stones in black fell to the ground from the air.

out of the original hundred or so vulture demon beasts, only about twenty remained.

They were all elites amongst vultures, possessing the strength of a Physical Body at the Hundred Veins Realm.

The leading vulture, a king amongst the demon beasts, growled fiercely.

With the remaining twenty or so elite vulture demon beasts, they swooped down from the sky, circling sharply and rushing ferociously towards Zhang Xiaohao.

Five razor-sharp claws reached out, viciously aiming for Zhang Xiaohao’s head.

It seemed they intended to crush his skull.

The other twenty or so elite vulture demon beasts tumbled their bodies, using the force of their dive to flap their wings and form sharp tornadoes, spinning towards Zhang Xiaohao with the intent to slash him to pieces.

"Bring it on!" Zhang Xiaohao laughed heartily.

It had been a long time since he’d enjoyed such exhilarating combat, holding the Fish Intestine Sword.

Swish, swish, swish...

A series of fierce sword lights sliced forward.

In the air, silver-white flashes were everywhere.

Whether it was the vulture king or the group of elite vultures, they were all cut down by Zhang Xiaohao’s overwhelming power.

Hiss... Thıs content belongs to 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚·𝔫𝔢𝔱

Streams of black smoke rose up.

all the vulture demon beasts, including the king, were slain by Zhang Xiaohao.

More than twenty black crystal stones fell from the sky and hit the ground.

Zhang Xiaohao reached out his hand and grabbed the black crystal stone dropped by the dying vulture king.

"Hmm? Could it be that the stronger the demon beast slain, the more powerful the energy contained within the black crystal stone left behind?" Zhang Xiaohao pondered suspiciously.

Looking at the crystal stones left by the twenty or so elite vultures, they were slightly larger than the ordinary black crystal stones.

The mysterious energy inside was also more intense than that of a regular vulture.

"It seems that this is indeed the case!" Zhang Xiaohao nodded to himself.

He took off his overcoat and collected all the black crystal stones inside.

Then, he tied the coat up and slung it over his shoulder.

With a push off the ground with one foot, he sped towards the front.

After an hour had passed,

Zhang Xiaohao could no longer remember how many black demon beasts he had actually slain, it could be hundreds, or even a thousand.

Even the bundle he was carrying on his back had grown from one to two.

Zhang Xiaohao’s body was covered by nothing more than a large pair of shorts, with not a single other garment on him.

this was after he had sifted through and discarded the weaker black crystal stones. If he hadn’t thrown away those small crystal stones,

even if he took off his last piece of clothing, the large shorts, to hold the black crystal stones, it probably wouldn’t have been enough.

Holding the Fish Intestine Sword, Zhang Xiaohao stopped at the edge of the small island.

Ahead, there was a black swamp.

The black swamp stretched out of sight, emitting wisps of eerie heat waves.

Occasionally, some strange and mysterious demon beasts would poke their heads out from beneath the swamp, with bloodthirsty and cold eyes fixed on Zhang Xiaohao on the shore.
