Chapter 57: Chapter 57

In the dim forest, a sound of trampling came.

Pushing through the tangled branches, a massive figure slowly emerged from the distant woods.

A terrifying black tiger.

Its eerie, enormous tiger eyes stared directly in this direction.

Fang Yuan had been observing from the shadows.

Upon seeing the giant lizard turn into a dried corpse in an instant, Fang Yuan felt very satisfied.

"All my recent efforts searching for venomous bugs, snakes, and insects weren’t in vain. The power of this Bloodthirsty Gu is indeed strong!"

Yes, Fang Yuan had successfully refined a Demon Gu—Bloodthirsty Gu!

The blood-red light that shot out just now was the manifestation of the Bloodthirsty Gu.

The Bloodthirsty Gu is a fiendishly savage kind of Demon Gu, with a ferocious nature, bloodthirsty to the core, and its body as tough as a magical artifact, its mouthparts incredibly sharp, capable of chewing through gold and iron.

An attack by this Gu can easily tear through defenses and burrow inside a body if one is not cautious.

Of course, this is just the physical aspect of the Bloodthirsty Gu; although very powerful, it is not the reason why it is called a Demon Gu.

As its name suggests, the key feature of the Bloodthirsty Gu is its ability to devour Blood Qi. Once it enters the body, Blood Qi is completely consumed within a short time, turning the victim into a dried corpse. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on NoveI★Fire.net

The Blood Qi consumed by the Bloodthirsty Gu nourishes its owner, aiding in their cultivation.

The Bloodthirsty Gu stores the blood it consumes within its body, continuously refining it to make it purer and purer.

Then, upon command, the Bloodthirsty Gu will release this pure Blood Qi, nourishing its owner.

This means that not only does this Demon Gu possess formidable attack power, but it also has excellent auxiliary abilities.

This is also why Fang Yuan, among thousands of Demon Gu, chose to refine the Bloodthirsty Gu!

With a thought, Fang Yuan’s body flashed with a faint red glow.

A crimson light shot out from the lizard’s shriveled corpse, returning to Fang Yuan’s body.

Pure Blood Qi poured into the tiger’s body, and the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Scripture rapidly activated, refining the Blood Qi into scarlet Spiritual Power coursing through his veins.

Visibly, Fang Yuan’s cultivation level climbed higher, and the aura he emitted became more powerful.

"Great! The Bloodthirsty Gu has finally reached its peak, making future cultivation with the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Scripture more convenient!"

Fang Yuan slowly opened his eyes, filled with joy, his mind full of possibilities.

With the Bloodthirsty Gu, he could obtain large amounts of Blood Qi in a short time.

By then, his strength would undoubtedly increase rapidly.

Recalling the numerous venomous beasts inhabiting Wulong Mountain, Fang Yuan’s eyes gradually lit up with anticipation.

In the following days, Fang Yuan drove the Bloodthirsty Gu through Wulong Mountain, hunting venomous beasts, slaughtering them one by one, and madly absorbing their Blood Qi.

A green venomous python leaped up with a painful scream.

In an instant, the snake’s body went rigid and fell, withering rapidly.

The Bloodthirsty Gu instantly flew back into Fang Yuan’s body.

The pure Blood Qi accumulated over these days quickly nourished him.

Blood Qi flowed like a gentle stream, continuously emerging from a spring.

Standing aside, Fang Yuan was emitting a fierce aura, with blood radiantly glowing on his tiger body.

Fang Yuan remained still while the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Scripture swiftly operated, continuously refining Blood Qi.

After a full half-quarter of an hour.

Having refined the pure Blood Qi, Fang Yuan’s Spiritual Power surged within, his aura underwent an abrupt transformation.

His cultivation level jumped directly from the late first stage to the mid-second stage, completing two consecutive breakthroughs.

"Finally broke through!"

Fang Yuan was elated!

But it didn’t last long before a surge of hatred involuntarily filled his heart.

If humans hadn’t pursued him doggedly, forcing him into Wulong Mountain, he, the dignified Ancient Demon Monarch, wouldn’t have taken this long to break through to the second stage.

Looking towards the outside of Wulong Mountain, Fang Yuan’s eyes were full of killing intent, and the fierce aura surged around him!

"After hiding for so long, it’s time to start a massacre!"

The dusky mountain forest brimmed with killing intent.

A Demon Tiger walked towards the outside of the mountain like that.

Peach Grove Valley—this is the name Nangong Luo gave to this valley.

Under the Bodhi Holy Tree, Nangong Luo finished today’s cultivation, standing up from the Cyan Stone Pool, shaking the droplets off his body.

Feeling his cultivation grow again, Nangong Luo was fairly satisfied.

This Peach Grove Valley, nurtured by the Bodhi Holy Tree, was truly a treasured place for cultivation, with rich Spiritual Qi!

"Big brother is way too lazy!"

At this time, seeing Jiang Che still sleeping nearby, Nangong Luo was a bit helpless.

Ever since her reincarnation, from the first glance at her big brother, he always appeared so lethargic!

So much time had passed, yet he hadn’t changed a bit.

Even though you’re a reincarnated Ancient Demon God, and not an ordinary monster beast, you can’t just slack , can you?

The potential of a reincarnated Demon God is unparalleled!

But being this lethargic, brother might not be able to fully realize his potential, reducing the chances of returning to the Demon God Realm.

"Forget it, after reaching the fourth stage, it’s time to persuade brother seriously!"

Nangong Luo thought to herself.

After the fourth stage, fierce beasts can be truly called demons.

At that time, fierce beasts will refine their Transverse Bone, speak human language, and communication with humans or beasts will be more convenient.

At this moment, Jiang Che, who was initially motionless, suddenly woke up, lifting his head.

He was awakened by the system’s notification sound.

"Ding! Bound target Fang Yuan’s cultivation greatly increased; host receives a tenfold feedback!"

Jiang Che’s aura skyrocketed, his Demon Pill radiating light, Spiritual Power surging, breaking through the realm barrier, and his cultivation reached the late third stage.

"Little brother finally came back to life!"

Ecstatic at his breakthrough, Jiang Che was overjoyed.

It seemed this time little brother gave him a big one, pushing him directly to the latter stage in one go.

"Looks like little brother has been safe these past days."

This guy was always wandering outside, and Jiang Che couldn’t control the situation, needing to rely on system notifications to determine his brother’s life and death.

Oh well, as long as he’s alive!

A moment later, having adapted to the changes in his cultivation, Jiang Che put thoughts of his brother behind him, diving back into sleep.

Watching her big brother waking up, breaking through, and going back to sleep again in a series of smooth actions... Nangong Luo was stunned in place.

Another breakthrough?

"Alright! You’re ruthless, big brother, just continue sleeping! Cultivation isn’t for you..."

Nangong Luo felt a bit sour and speechless.

It’s all because I didn’t work hard enough in my previous life!

If I had pushed myself back then and reached the Immortal God Realm, perhaps now, I could also lie down like big brother!

Even without cultivation, my cultivation level would skyrocket!

Being hit hard, Nangong Luo was naturally unwilling to give up.

Gritting her teeth, the entire tiger body submerged once more into the spiritual water of the Cyan Stone Pool, activating her cultivation technique to absorb Spiritual Qi, and continued practicing.

At this moment, atop Jiang Che’s big head, Little Zi held a Spiritual Peach full of bite marks, tilting his head, his lively big eyes filled with curiosity as he looked at Nangong Luo.

He didn’t understand what happened to this beautiful big tiger.

As usual, she just stood up.

Then, why did she inexplicably lie down again?
