Chapter 61: Fist Fighting the Pangolin Little White let out a shrill war cry. She knew the Pangolin was a walking fortress, its scales harder than iron. Attacking its body was futile. Instead, she hefted her carrot—which glowed with an ominous mix of red and green light—and swung it viciously at the beast’s tongue. To

Chapter 62: Planting Development “Boss! Boss, stop hitting!” Big Old Black lunged forward, grabbing Wu Yuan’s fist with both paws. He hung on for dear life, trying to act as a brake. “The Pangolin passed out ages ago! It can’t talk!” Big Old Black shouted, frantic. “If you hit it again, it’s actually going to

Chapter 63: Wu Yuan’s Twisted Sense of Fun The recent expansion had filled Wu Yuan’s pockets with a variety of new Spirit Plants. Most were unranked weeds, but quantity had a quality all its own. His strategy was simple: plant everything. He scattered the seeds across the various spiritual nodes of Little Green Mountain. Once

Chapter 64: Queen Ant Egg Little Yellow scratched his head, watching Wu Yuan ham it up like a stage actor. The hamster looked genuinely confused. “Boss, you’re such a hypocrite! Most of those Snake Spirit Fruits ended up in your stomach, didn’t they?” Wu Yuan snorted and lightly smacked the back of Little Yellow’s head.

Chapter 65: Black Intelligence Wu Yuan was genuinely surprised. He hadn’t expected the submission process to be this effortless. But then again, he reasoned, Barbarian Beasts generally have low intelligence. They bow to raw power. I already beat this guy half to death, and I have unlimited resources to bribe him with. It’s only logical

Chapter 66: Golden Intelligence Deep within the unknowable void of Wu Yuan’s body, the Karma Pearl erupted. In a single instant, it incinerated over a year’s worth of accumulated Qi. A blinding radiance exploded outward, flooding his internal world with searing white light. Wu Yuan’s consciousness, which had already sunk into the cold abyss of

Chapter 67: Purple Bamboo My reserves of Creation Power are bone dry. Wu Yuan stared at the Karma Pearl floating in his sea of consciousness. It was silent, inert, and heavy as a stone. He let out a long, helpless sigh. “I still owe the pearl a massive debt of power. If I had any

Chapter 68: The Almighty Little Yellow “The hummingbird?” Wu Yuan’s fur stood on end. He instantly recalled the elusive pest that had plagued him earlier—a tiny, lightning-fast menace that had snapped its beak on his defenses before fleeing. That bird had given both him and Bibo a massive headache. “You ran into the hummingbird?” Wu

Chapter 69: Purple Jade Marrow Wu Yuan surveyed the rustling green sea before him, a profound sense of satisfaction swelling in his chest. “Little Yellow,” he said, turning to his furry lieutenant. “You have managed this asset exceptionally well.” Little Yellow beamed, his chest puffing out with pride. It reminded Wu Yuan of the report

Chapter 70: The Rock Fissure Wu Yuan stood at the edge of the jagged tear in the earth, clutching Little Yellow in one paw. “I’m going to jump now.” He offered the warning out of consideration; he knew his hamster lieutenant had a severe case of acrophobia. Little Yellow immediately slapped his tiny paws over

Chapter 71: The Second Layer of Nine Spirits Wu Yuan retreated to his fortress deep within the ore vein, the [Purple Jade Marrow] clutched tightly in his paw. His treehouse was a sanctuary of shadows, enveloped by the gnarled, tangled roots of the Blood-Binding Spirit Mulberry. Only the faint, rhythmic flicker of spiritual light from

Chapter 72: Demon Sense To verify the limits of his newfound defensive capabilities, Wu Yuan reached into his robes and produced the [Stone Wood Horn Arrow]. Among Rank 1 Low-Grade artifacts, this was a boutique item—a premium weapon possessing formidable lethality. He took a deep breath, channeling his Demon Power into the horn. Instantly, the

Chapter 73: Spirit Runes Wu Yuan dropped the twitching mouse demon from his grasp and picked up his quill, scribbling his latest findings into the [Book of Spirit Runes]. “Interesting. This subject’s internal structure differs slightly from the previous specimen.” He tapped the page thoughtfully. “By increasing the thickness of the Spirit Runes located in

Chapter 74: Recovery Power Inside the tranquil sanctuary of the treehouse, Wu Yuan lay motionless in his nest, still as an ancient, unadorned statue. He tilted his head slightly, gazing upward. Above him, the gnarled roots of the Spirit Mulberry twisted and interlocked like coiled dragons. From the gaps between these ancient roots, thousands of

Chapter 75: Ore Mother A faint, furtive whispering echoed directly into Wu Yuan’s ears, like a conspiracy of mice chattering in the dark. “Great King,” the voice reported, hushed and precise. “The survivor was a lazy worker. He drew the ire of the other foremen and was exiled to the remote tunnels.” “By sheer luck,

Chapter 76: Purple Jade Vein Wu Yuan delivered a casual kick to the Pangolin’s massive flank. “I need your muscles. Since you have the [Earth Walk Technique], you’re going to help me dig something up.” The Pangolin’s ears perked up. It immediately forgot about Little Yellow and the earlier awkwardness. “Boss! Let’s go! Fast!” Its

Chapter 77: The Rock Crevice Wu Yuan tilted his chin up slightly, pointing a claw toward the massive subterranean boulder looming in the darkness. “I need a path connecting directly to that rock,” he commanded, his voice echoing in the tunnel. “Specifically, to the crevice running through it. That fissure is of critical strategic importance.”

Chapter 78: Changes in the Bamboo Forest A sudden warning bell rang in Wu Yuan’s instincts. Acting on pure reflex, he lashed out with a vine whip, wrapping it around Big Old Black’s waist and yanking the massive rat backward. “Get back,” Wu Yuan commanded, his voice tight. “My perception blurs if we go any

Chapter 79: Artifact Refining Preparations Wu Yuan strolled into the Bamboo Forest Spiritual Land with the air of a lord surveying his estate. His gaze immediately settled on the dozen [Purple Bamboo] plants growing beside the pond. They were magnificent specimens—tall, straight, and radiating a faint, violet luminescence. Piles of raw Purple Jade and glittering

Chapter 80: The Art of Brutality Wu Yuan stood motionless in the depths of the mining cavern, his obsidian eyes locked on the stockpile before him. Spirit Copper. Ant Crystals. Bamboo Charcoal. In the dim, flickering light of the tunnel, the raw materials gleamed with potential. He took a deep breath, suppressing the rising tide

Chapter 81: Spell Improvement In the intricate art of artifact refining, spirit patterns were the circuitry of power. By standard definition, spirit patterns were arranged in interconnected triads. A single group of three linked patterns qualified an item as a Low Grade Magical Artifact. Three such groups, if networked together into a larger system, created

Chapter 82: Bibo Emerges from Seclusion A satisfied smile tugged at the corners of Wu Yuan’s mouth. “It works. It actually works.” In that fleeting moment, his skin had become a hyper-sensitive canvas. He hadn’t just felt the air; he had perceived the precise temperature gradients, the subtle shifts in atmospheric pressure, the trajectory of

Chapter 83: The Winged Tiger Big Old Black suddenly darted out from the underbrush, glancing briefly at Bibo before snapping to attention. “Boss!” he saluted. Wu Yuan smiled, waving a paw dismissively. “What’s the situation?” “Boss, while I was patrolling the perimeter, I spotted a beast shadow flying toward us,” Big Old Black reported rapidly.

Chapter 84: Overwhelming On the surface, Wu Yuan and the Pangolin seemed to treat the Winged Tiger with utter disdain, lounging around as if the approaching beast were nothing more than a passing breeze. But this was merely the art of war: despise the enemy strategically, yet respect them tactically. Beneath his calm exterior, Wu

Chapter 85: Surrender Wu Yuan turned a deaf ear to the Winged Tiger’s plea. He raised the Gu Duo mace high and brought it down again. CRACK! This time, the Winged Tiger couldn’t hold the line. His grip faltered, and the Tiger Head Great Shield was knocked violently aside. Wu Yuan didn’t stop there. With

Chapter 86: Tiger Shock Big Old Black watched the Winged Tiger limp away until his silhouette vanished into the mist. He then turned to Wu Yuan, his face twisted in confusion. “Boss, we just let him go? That easily?” Big Old Black muttered, sounding disappointed. “Didn’t you say tiger meat is highly nourishing? Especially Winged

Chapter 87: Earth Immortal Path Despite the Winged Tiger possessing a High Grade Rank 2 bloodline, his personal cultivation was pitiful—merely the early stages of Qi Refining. In the outside world, this might have commanded respect. But within the Winged Tiger Clan? It was nothing special. Practically everyone walking the clan grounds boasted a Rank

Chapter 88: The Mouse Spirit Rune “The Earth Immortal Path is not for the faint of heart, Great King,” the Winged Tiger explained, his voice hushed with a mix of reverence and fear. “When a Qi Condensation cultivator attempts to break through to Foundation Establishment using this method, they must make an absolute sacrifice. They

Chapter 89: Breakthrough Wu Yuan summoned a jet of water to scour the foul-smelling gray sludge from his body. Once clean, he conjured a water mirror to inspect the damage. To his surprise, he had shrunk. Previously, Wu Yuan had been a towering, two-meter-tall behemoth of rippling muscle—a visual powerhouse. Now, he had condensed. He

Chapter 90: Qi Condensation Mid-Stage One hour later. Wu Yuan opened his eyes. The breakthrough was complete. Inside his Dantian, the landscape had changed completely. His Demon Power, which had previously existed as ninety-nine individual, wispy strands, was gone. In its place flowed ten thick, condensed streams of power. Quantitatively, he had less. But qualitatively?

Chapter 91: Azure Radiance Grotto-Heaven Requests a Call Success flickered on the horizon. Under Bibo’s desperate control, his Demon Power gradually coalesced, surging toward the critical threshold of a breakthrough. Yet, Bibo felt no excitement—only a hollow, sinking dread. “My blood… it’s not enough!” he gasped. He could feel his physical form rapidly failing. His

Chapter 92: The Predicament of Azure Radiance Grotto-Heaven Wu Yuan tried to focus on the panoramic view of the mountain peak, but the world blurred. His consciousness plummeted, eventually stabilizing on a relatively gentle slope near the base. He adjusted to the sensation quickly. Right now, I’m just a manifestation of consciousness. I can’t enter

Chapter 93: Wu Yuan Taking a Shortcut Even setting aside his sentiment for the place, the cold, hard logic of profit remained: Little Green Mountain was his origin, his base of operations, and his greatest asset. If he lost this foothold, where else could he find a spirit land capable of sustaining the logistics and

Chapter 94: Expansion Wu Yuan sat within the quiet sanctuary of his treehouse, eyes closed in deep contemplation. The flickering spiritual light cast long, dancing shadows across the room, illuminating the slight furrow in his brow as he processed the flood of intelligence granted by the Azure Radiance Grotto-Heaven. The geography of his world had

Chapter 95: Wolf Mountain The Winged Tiger had been lingering around Wu Yuan lately, practically begging for a permanent spot on the payroll. He was remarkably diligent. Every day, he teamed up with Little Gray to scout the perimeter of Little Green Mountain. One was a speedster, the other a master of shadows; the duo

Chapter 96: Clearing Wolf Mountain Wu Yuan nodded with satisfaction before turning his gaze toward Big Black. “When the time comes, you’ll be the primary target—the visible decoy commanding the swarm,” Wu Yuan said. “We need to see if they’re desperate enough to attempt a decapitation strike. Keep your wits about you; I’d rather not

Chapter 97: Wu Yuan’s Specialty Bibo lunged forward, his movements fluid and calculated as he intercepted the Snow Plains Wolf King. He couldn’t let the Winged Tiger be snuffed out in a single exchange. Though the Wolf King’s second-tier bloodline gave him a raw advantage, Bibo was a veteran of survival. Between his decades of

Chapter 98: Wu Yuan’s Old Acquaintance The Snow Plains Wolf King’s voice trembled as he pleaded for his life. “You… you must know I am a vassal of the Golden Armor Lion! This unprovoked slaughter violates the covenant of the Main Peak Kings!” As the words left his maw, the giant wolf actually began to

Chapter 99: How Sweet These Dates Are Watching the Snow Plains Wolf King’s bewildered expression, Big Black stepped forward with his chest puffed out and his chin tilted high. “Since the Great King has been merciful enough to overlook your past and take you in as a dog,” Big Black declared, “it’s only right that

Chapter 100: The Transformation of Little Green Mountain Wu Yuan watched as his various demon beast subordinates finally regained their composure. He let out a long, weary sigh, the kind a cultivator might give after a particularly chaotic sect meeting. These fools, he thought. Talking about becoming a Demon Emperor in the open… such things

Chapter 101: Order The Snow Plains Wolf King scanned the horizon. Although Little Green Mountain was currently a construction site—piles of lumber and freshly turned earth making it look a bit disorganized—the giant wolf sensed a terrifying power lurking beneath the surface. It was the power of Order. In the demon world, order was both

Chapter 102: Heavenly Demon Soul-Confusing Sound The spirit runes on the Ancient Xun pulsed with a rhythmic, iridescent light, their patterns weaving together in a display of celestial geometry. “The architecture of these runes is brilliant… every stroke interlocks with the next like clockwork,” Wu Yuan murmured, his eyes reflecting the shimmering glow. “Rare runes,

Chapter 103: The Heavenly Sound Clan The legacy of the Heavenly Sound Clan was once a prize lusted after by the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan. Their rivalry eventually ignited the “Charm Calamity,” one of the ten Great Ancient Calamities. It was a war of subversion; the two clans bewitched, infiltrated, and seduced one another until

Chapter 104: A New Bloodline Spirit Rune Wu Yuan chuckled, looking at Little Yellow’s new wolf-skull helmet. “It’s a striking look. If you just had a tooth necklace, you’d be the spitting image of a Wild Demon chieftain!” The Wild Demon tribes were notorious factions of the demon race that rejected the civilized rule of

Chapter 105: Familiar Demon Initially, Wu Yuan had found the new, chaotic Bloodline Spirit Rune completely incomprehensible. He could only trace its convoluted lines by rote, failing time and again to grasp its underlying logic. His breakthrough came through sheer, gruesome frustration. During an anatomical study of a deceased rat, Wu Yuan had attempted to

Chapter 106: Old Acquaintances To the east of Little Green Mountain lay a barren zone, a stretch of land devoid of Spiritual Qi. It was a lush, verdant grassland, teeming with life. A herd of antelopes grazed and drank by the water’s edge, the very picture of pastoral contentment. Sunlight dappled their coats; the air

Chapter 107: Different Choices Big Black understood the rules. Without the Boss’s explicit permission, certain secrets of Little Green Mountain could not be revealed. He trusted One Ear. The scarred rat had always been a fanatic; his loyalty was not in question. Gray Skin, however, was a variable that still needed to be weighed. They

Chapter 108: A Surprise from One Ear Wu Yuan waved a paw dismissively, cutting through the heavy atmosphere. “Let him go wherever he wants,” he said, his voice calm. “Since you were both assigned to the Rat Clan, my identity was likely leaked to them long ago. Fortunately, Little Green Mountain has changed drastically since

Chapter 109: One Ear’s Confession My name is One Ear. I am a rat. I was born into the colony within the Spirit Copper vein valley, long before the greatest Rat King appeared to claim his throne. From the moment I took my first breath, I was frail. My body was a withered thing, and

Chapter 110: Nine Heavens Mystic Spirit Formation Explanation Wu Yuan immediately entered a state of deep seclusion. He threw himself into the study of new knowledge with a ravenous hunger, forgetting to eat or sleep. The daily operations of Little Green Mountain were completely delegated to Big Black and the others. After all, the entire

Chapter 111: The Peng Bird Watching the Spirit Gathering Formation swirl with accumulated energy, Wu Yuan offered a weary, satisfied smile. His eyelids grew heavy, and he collapsed into his nest, instantly falling into a deep, restorative slumber. Above him, the massive Spirit Mulberry Tree seemed to sense its master’s exhaustion. It lowered tender roots

Chapter 112: Teasing The aggressive glint in Winged Tiger’s eyes vanished the moment he heard Bibo’s threat. He forced a stiff, ingratiating smile onto his face. “Elder Bibo is indeed as prudent and steady as an old… er, as a wise elder. One word from you has awakened this tiger from his foolish dreams!” He

Chapter 113: Provoking the Peng Bird The Demon Vulture Leader could only attack in blind, terrified fury. Every strike was laden with despair, yet the Peng Bird evaded them effortlessly, moving like a phantom in the wind. With a flicker of motion, the Peng Bird vanished, reappearing directly above the Vulture Leader. He hovered there,

Chapter 114: Rage Hidden underground, Big Black heard Winged Tiger’s venomous sarcasm drifting down from the surface. He scratched his head, genuinely confused. “Since when is that tiger such a smooth talker? Why didn’t he show this side of himself before?” Bibo didn’t even turn his head. He continued to channel Demon Power into the

Chapter 115: Suicide The Peng Bird said nothing. The red light surrounding his body simply intensified, blazing like a wildfire consuming a forest. The gale-force winds screamed, ripping shattered stones from the mine’s surface and hurling them into the sky, where they collided with the sound of cracking bones. Silently, the Peng Bird began to

Chapter 116: Entrance Winged Tiger looked up, but his vision was blocked by the swirling wall of cyan feathers and wind. RIIIP! Suddenly, a pair of jade-white claws tore through the barrier from the outside. They were wreathed in vibrant red Blood Qi, contrasting sharply with the pale skin. The claws gripped the wall of

Chapter 117: Large Intestine Cultivation Wu Yuan paused for a moment, collecting his thoughts, before turning back to Big Black. “I don’t want the raw Geng Gold ore here,” he instructed. “The quality varies too much. We need to standardize it. Select the highest quality ore and send it directly to me. As for the

Chapter 118: Personally Taking the Knife Wu Yuan was no longer the fragile creature he used to be. His physical body had been tempered into something extraordinary, rendering him fearless of these metallic lumps. The Geng Gold energy swirling in his stomach couldn’t even leave a scratch on the organ walls. If not for the

Chapter 119: Array Artifact After finishing the cultivation of his large intestine, Wu Yuan finally let out a long sigh of relief. He reclined on a lounge chair carved from Purple Jade Bamboo, his body sinking into the cool, smooth surface. The air inside the treehouse was thick with Spiritual Qi and Lunar Essence, drifting

Chapter 120: A Pleasant Surprise Wu Yuan sighed with a mix of admiration and disbelief. “As expected of a wealthy bird family. To use an entire Array Artifact set as a Life-Bound Magical Artifact… that is truly extravagant to the point of absurdity.” He scratched his head, genuinely puzzled. “But did the Peng Bird spend

Chapter 121: The Council of Great Demons In an uncharted region beyond the Azure Spirit Mountain Range, a solitary, craggy peak pierced the heavens. Fierce gales ravaged its summit year-round, whipping sand and stone into a perpetual, chaotic frenzy. It was a landscape that embodied the wildest, most untamed aspects of the cultivation world. Yet,

Chapter 122: The Cat King In the corner of the grand palace, a massive, obese rat demon lay sprawled across a reclining chair. He eyes were closed, a porcelain cup of tea balanced delicately in his paw. “I have to say, these human concoctions are truly delightful!” he chirped, oblivious to the tension in the

Chapter 123: Earth Spirit Master Wu Yuan remained blissfully ignorant of the chaos unfolding beyond the Azure Spirit Mountain Range. He had no idea that, once again, the Cat King was out there carrying his reputation on his small, furry back. At this moment, the Rat King was safe inside his treehouse, engrossed in the

Meanwhile, Bibo was already deep in planning. “King, I plan to adjust the terrain between the two locations. We can arrange specific buildings or minor formations to channel the flow, creating a river of Spiritual Qi cascading from the large bluestone down to the valley!” Bibo’s voice rose with excitement. “We can even plant specific

Chapter 125: Reputation Ruined Bibo stroked his chin, seemingly unbothered by the missing patches of beard hair. “With this, we don’t have to adapt to the mountain anymore. We can make the mountain adapt to us. Previously, we were limited by natural Spiritual Qi distribution. Now? We can terraform.” Bibo began pacing, muttering about nodes

Chapter 126: Big Old Black, Jack of All Trades Upon hearing the threat of castration, Big Old Black immediately clamped his legs together, his face twisting in sheer terror. “Great King! Spare my life!” he shrieked, his voice cracking. “I will definitely work hard in cultivation! I won’t let Your Majesty down! Please, not the

Chapter 127: Master of Little Green Mountain Wu Yuan centered his spirit, calming the restless energy within him. He gave a curt nod to the Pangolin, who stood ready like a soldier awaiting the charge. Understanding the command, the Pangolin roused his spirit. He activated his innate Earth Walk technique and dove headfirst into the

Chapter 128: Innate Divine Ability At that moment, Wu Yuan’s consciousness transcended his physical form, merging entirely with the spirit of Little Green Mountain. First, he rode the omnipresent earth veins, using them as optical fibers to view his entire domain at once. He saw the ubiquitous rat hordes busily scurrying through the mountain forests,

Chapter 129: Blood-Winged Black Mosquito Wu Yuan immediately summoned another large group of rat demons, ordering them to attack him without mercy. This time, his performance was even more exaggerated. Wu Yuan shut down all his senses except for touch. He actively responded solely to the information brought by the air currents and spiritual fluctuations

Chapter 130: Encirclement The horn blasted across Little Green Mountain, a call to arms that shattered the peaceful morning. Every rat demon at work froze. Then, with practiced efficiency, they ushered the younger, uninitiated pups into the deepest, safest burrows. Sentry rats scrambled to the highest vantage points, their whiskers twitching as they scanned the

Chapter 131: Mosquito Mother The area surrounding the Corrupt Water Pool, once teeming with life, was now a ghost town. The local demon beasts were either dead or had long since fled, terrified of facing the Blood-Winged Black Mosquito swarm head-on. By all rights, the Mosquito Mother should have become a local overlord of the

Chapter 132: Ambush The Mosquito Mother was a distinct entity, far removed from the bloated, immobile queens of the bee and ant colonies. She was the size of a large rat—the undisputed titan of the Blood-Winged Black Mosquito swarm. Her carapace was a deep, glossy black, etched with bright red spirit patterns that writhed like

Chapter 133: The Frenzied Wu Yuan Wu Yuan smacked his lips, tucking the severed proboscis into his storage bag with a satisfied grunt. He looked at the Mosquito Mother with utter disdain. “You think I don’t know there’s something wrong with the ‘Blood Essence’ you gave me?” He sneered, tapping his cheek. “My tongue almost

Chapter 134: Heaven and Earth Fiend Refining Spirit Extraction Formation Wu Yuan had already weighed the costs before he ever gave the order to dig. “Blocking the channel won’t last forever,” he explained slowly to the furious Azure Radiance Grotto-Heaven. “The Azure Spirit Mountain Range will eventually recover on its own. It might be scarred,

Chapter 135: Adding Ingredients With a wave of Wu Yuan’s hand, the [Hundred Feather Wind Controlling Formation] instantly activated. Wu Yuan stood as the primary anchor, channeling the flow of energy, while the Winged Tiger served as the secondary controller. The surrounding Spiritual Qi surged like a tide into the tiger’s body. Among the gathered

Chapter 136: Blood Fiend Refining Spirit Fire As the massive snake demons withered into mummies and died, the mist of condensed Baleful Qi began to seep into their desiccated husks. The larger the snake and the higher its cultivation in life, the more Baleful Qi it absorbed in death. The mummified corpses stiffened, their black

Chapter 137: The Mosquito Mother’s Backup Plan Wu Yuan and his demon army continued to hurl Blood Ignition Arts into the pit. The spells streaked across the sky like red meteors, crashing into the burning rat corpses and fueling the inferno. The [Hundred Feather Wind Controlling Formation] amplified the carnage, whipping the flames into a

Chapter 138: Seizing Spirit and Refining Artifact Trapped in the stone egg, the Mosquito Mother’s voice turned shrill with panic. “Rat King! Rat King, spare me!” “I acknowledge you as my Master! I swear it on my soul!” Wu Yuan chuckled lightly, tossing the egg in his palm. “Didn’t you just say it was impossible

Chapter 139: Blood Water Pool The Blood Water Pool was no ordinary Magical Artifact. Even in its infancy, it displayed characteristics that defied categorization. Although it was technically only a High-Grade Magical Artifact, its spirituality had already condensed into a tangible form, transcending the limits of its grade. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Rhyme it

Chapter 140: Blood Essence Wu Yuan crossed his arms over his chest, his gaze sharp. Opposite him, Little Wolf and the Winged Tiger immediately assumed guarded stances. Their Demon Power surged like rushing rivers as they braced themselves for whatever horror the Great King was about to unleash. Even as test subjects, they had to

Chapter 141: Little Yellow Goes Fishing The initial, explosive wave of medicinal potency from the Blood Essence faded, settling into a steady, nourishing stream that continued to bolster Wu Yuan’s cultivation. Spiritual light flickered in his eyes. “The effect is too good!” Wu Yuan muttered, his voice trembling with excitement. “If I had a few

Chapter 142: Sinking Gold Carp Wu Yuan’s fishing lessons had thoroughly befuddled Little Yellow. Even Little White, eavesdropping nearby with a half-eaten carrot in his paw, found himself tempted by the prospect of becoming a legendary “Dragon Fishing Master.” Of course, Wu Yuan wasn’t irresponsible. He assigned a Pangolin guard to shadow them, specifically tasked

Chapter 143: Changes in Polong Lake The Black Water Flood Dragon Snake pondered for a while, his vertical pupils constricting. Finally, he looked at the Red Refined Fire Snake, gritted his teeth, and said, “Brother, you should understand the value of a High-Grade Sinking Gold Carp. How about we wait for them to finish their

Chapter 144: Fishing in Troubled Waters Wu Yuan thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and made his decision. “Let One Ear go. Even if it stirs up a soul disaster, so be it.” “After all, it won’t be Little Green Mountain that suffers. At worst, after the water demons of Polong Lake are all

Chapter 145: The Five Spirit Clam Demons The screams outside the Beaver Water Fortress lasted all night. When dawn broke and the white mist dispersed, the surviving water demons surfaced fearfully to assess the situation. They discovered the water littered with mutilated corpses, each bearing vicious bite marks. The bodies were pale and withered, drained

Chapter 146: Sowing Discord “Have you seen any peculiar treasures in Polong Lake before?” Bibo carefully inquired of the ancient Jade Water Spirit Turtle. The old turtle blinked slowly. “I once saw a school of Sinking Gold Carp appear in a certain deep-water area. They are extremely rare Dragon-type spiritual creatures. Unfortunately, their strength was

Chapter 147: Attack and Kill On the surface of Polong Lake, the sounds of slaughter shook the heavens. A massive crab demon raised pincers larger than its own body, clamping a fish demon in half. However, before it could even gloat, a stealthy Sword Shrimp lurking in the mud stabbed it from behind, piercing its

Chapter 148: Turning Against Each Other The Red Refined Fire Snake slapped the water surface, as if waking from a dream. Greed flickered in his eyes as he made an exorbitant demand. “I want fifty percent of the profits!” Without a word, the Winged Tiger turned and walked away into the mist. “If you don’t

Chapter 149: Wu Yuan’s Tremendous Improvement Wu Yuan slowly opened his eyes, rising from his nest in the treehouse as he concluded a full day of cultivation. Vast waves of Demon Power surged around his body like a turbulent tide, reverberating within the confined space. The air rippled visibly before the power slowly retracted into

Chapter 150: The Massive Spirit Mulberry Tree Wu Yuan had set aside time each day to forge Spirit Copper Spears, rewarding the most meritorious rat demons. Big Old Black, having watched the process for so long, eventually felt confident enough to try it himself. He would sneak leftover scraps of Spirit Copper and hammer away

Chapter 151: The Severely Injured One Ear Wu Yuan’s brows were locked tight, his gaze heavy with concern as he watched Little Gray and Little White work. The two small rodents were completely absorbed in their task, weaving a delicate healing art over One Ear. Soft, verdant spiritual light flickered between their paws, cascading into

Chapter 152: The Desperate Red Refined Fire Snake If the Black Water Flood Dragon Snake caught up to him now, death was a certainty. Riddled with wounds and with his Demon Power hovering near absolute zero, the Red Refined Fire Snake knew he had no cards left to play. Escape would be impossible. He forced

Chapter 153: Bamboozling the Red Refined Fire Snake The Winged Tiger rubbed his paws together, a sycophantic grin plastered across his face as he addressed the Red Refined Fire Snake. “You only need to feign an attack on the Beaver Water Fortress. Apply pressure. Force him into a corner,” the tiger wheedled. “That old beaver

Chapter 154: The Red Refined Fire Snake Attacks the Market Since arriving at Polong Lake, Bibo had fully leveraged the Beaver Clan’s ancestral talent for engineering. On the southern shore, a sprawling trading hub had risen from the mud, designed to serve as the economic bridge between the aquatic demon beasts of the lake and

Chapter 155: Ripping the Skeleton from the Snake Bibo sneered, his expression dripping with disdain. “Small body, big mouth.” “So, just because you hiss a command, this place belongs to you? We’re all supposed to bow down and obey?” Bibo picked his ear nonchalantly. “Did you drink too much lake water and get drunk? If

Chapter 156: A Fruitless Harvest Wu Yuan ignored the toxic, viscous slurry of snake blood coating his fur. Instead, he lifted the limp, severed torso of the Red Refined Fire Snake to his snout, squeezing the flesh like a sponge. Thick, dark crimson blood oozed out, dripping into his open maw. He swallowed it with

Chapter 157: Securing the Sinking Gold Carp Ultimately, Wu Yuan had only satisfied his gluttonous appetite; the raid yielded no usable spiritual items. To any outside observer, this large-scale military operation would appear to be a massive strategic failure—a lot of noise for a meal of snake meat. But Wu Yuan wasn’t anxious in the

Chapter 158: The Ritual of the Wild Demon Tribe Wu Yuan stood to the side, his eyes fixed intently on the hamster. Little Huang was completely absorbed in his work, tinkering with a sedated Sinking Gold Carp while muttering an incomprehensible chant. The scene was so absurd that Wu Yuan couldn’t help but interject. “Little

Chapter 159: The Black Water Flood Dragon Snake Descends Wu Yuan stood on the precipice overlooking the lake, his gaze burning like a torch. His voice, amplified by Demon Power, boomed across the water, causing ripples to spread outward. “Bibo! Is the formation ready?” Bibo stepped forward, stroking his graying whiskers with palpable pride. “Great

Chapter 160: Black Water Profound Thunder Wu Yuan sighed, his mood spoiled by the serpent’s hesitance. He looked up at the brooding storm clouds, his face a mask of dissatisfaction, and shouted. “The Black Water Flood Dragon Snake has already graced us with his presence! Why are you still hiding in the clouds like a

Chapter 161: Suppressing the Black Water Flood Dragon Snake Spiritual light flashed in Wu Yuan’s palm, and the Gu Duo mace materialized instantly. Fueled by his boundless Demon Power, the mace glowed with a sickly, dark-yellow aura. Its surface was stained with layers of dried blood—a testament to the countless Demon Beasts Wu Yuan had

Chapter 162: Captured Alive Wu Yuan didn’t engage further. He dissolved into a wisp of clear breeze and vanished from the jaws of the beast. Reappearing a short distance away, he stared coldly at his opponent. The Black Water Flood Dragon Snake didn’t dare pursue. He retracted his Flood Dragon Spear, which morphed back into

Chapter 163: A Turn of Events Wu Yuan stood quietly atop the ruins of the Beaver Water Fortress, watching as the Black Water Flood Dragon Snake was sent away by the combined efforts of the demons until its figure completely vanished from sight. The surrounding demons, having completed their respective tasks, dispersed one after another,

Chapter 164: Dissecting the Black Water Flood Dragon Snake Deep within the mine tunnel, the Black Water Flood Dragon Snake floated in mid-air, suspended like a macabre puppet. Though deep in slumber, his body still radiated a thick, oppressive Demonic Aura. Arcs of lightning flickered between his teeth with every breath. Above him, countless strands

Chapter 165: Extreme Utilization Wu Yuan ignored the Black Water Flood Dragon Snake’s silent screams. His attention was absolute, his mind synced with the silkworm threads. With a gentle tug of his claw, the silk tightened. The snake’s muscles began to spasm, rippling in waves as if manipulated by a puppeteer. Wu Yuan pulled harder.

Chapter 166: Talent, Nine Refinements of Filth The Azure Radiance Grotto-Heaven snapped back, its voice dripping with grievance. “I am doing terribly!” “You shattered the Blood Water Pool, drained the spiritual essence of heaven and earth, and reaped all the rewards! Then you just waltzed off, leaving me to clean up your colossal mess!” “Do

Chapter 167: General Chef Wu Yuan counted exactly nine grains of Filth Spirit Sand. Each black bead was no larger than a grain of rice, yet they pulsed with a faint, eerie light. Sweeping his demonic sense over them, his vision instantly darkened, and a wave of vertigo struck his mind. This is no longer

Chapter 168: Shifting Cultivation Approach Wu Yuan admired the breathtaking tableau for a long moment before giving General Chef an approving nod. Understanding the silent command, the culinary prodigy uncorked a crystalline vial, pouring a generous measure of Hundred Flowers Spirit Brew directly into the bronze basin. The Silver Moon Fish and White Star Clams

Chapter 169: The Snake King’s Tribute Compared to the smooth, nourishing warmth of standard Blood Essence, the extract harvested from the Black Water Flood Dragon Snake was violently unhinged. It was a rampaging beast, tearing through Wu Yuan’s meridians with reckless abandon. Yet, to his mild surprise, his body devoured this savage energy with clinical

Chapter 170: Variant Spirit Snake Before long, the Fleshy Crest Snake King’s bloated silhouette appeared at the entrance of the ore vein cavern. He struggled violently, his grossly swollen belly wedged tight against the rock walls. He writhed and twisted, hissing in exertion as he fought to force his gelatinous bulk through the narrow opening.

Chapter 171: Dharma Treasure Embryo Connecting the dots, Wu Yuan looked down at the sycophantic serpent. “Snake King, you have resided in Snake Valley your entire life. Have you ever noticed any other anomalies?” The Fleshy Crest Snake King flinched, waving his tail frantically. “Great King, I beg of you, please do not call me

Chapter 172: Daoist Dragon Snake Wu Yuan fell into a heavy silence, his mind rapidly calculating how to handle the sentient Dharma Treasure Embryo. He was incredibly thankful that he hadn’t let greed cloud his judgment and rush headlong into Snake Valley. The consequences would have been fatal. He was equally thankful that he had

Chapter 173: The Pitiful State of Snake Valley The two horned snake demons writhed in sheer relief. They secretly rejoiced; finally, they were spared from the endless, grueling cycle of mating and laying eggs. Although their species was inherently driven to breed, the Snake King’s recent draconian quotas had hollowed them out. Their cultivation had

Chapter 174: The Dharma Treasure Embryo Reveals Itself “He demanded Spirit Stones!” the Snake King scoffed, scratching his bloated belly. “Where would I ever see something like that? I don’t even know what they look like!” He snorted derisively. “And besides, that so-called ‘True Dragon’ wasn’t even as long as my fangs. If he’s truly

Chapter 175: Dharma Treasure Takes Action ROAR! A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering bellow erupted from the abyss. A crimson flood dragon, wreathed in a tornado of soaring black-red flames, violently burst from the depths of Snake Valley. Its scarlet eyes locked onto Wu Yuan, radiating an endless, mindless frenzy of pure killing intent. This was a fire-attribute

Chapter 176: Capturing the Fire Flood Dragon Swish! Swish! Streaks of blood-red silkworm silk shot into the sky, interweaving into an inescapable heavenly net that firmly ensnared the thrashing fire flood dragon. [Blood-Binding Mystic Silkworm Formation]! The root system of the Spirit Mulberry tree extended throughout the entirety of Little Green Mountain, and the perimeter

Chapter 177: Bone Bowl Wu Yuan frowned slightly as he carefully calibrated his senses to the oppressive environment of the Spiritual Qi barren zone. “The atmosphere here isn’t just empty,” he murmured, his voice low. “There is a profound, inert force actively suffocating the environment. It’s forcefully suppressing my Demon Power and suffocating my blood

Chapter 178: The Ability of the Dharma Treasure The moment Wu Yuan lifted the bone bowl, the crystal-clear skeleton of Daoist Dragon Snake instantly lost its luster. It withered into a dull, lifeless gray before collapsing into a pile of fine ash, scattering into the subterranean winds. Only the small bowl in Wu Yuan’s paw

Chapter 179: Disintegration Dragon Transformation Ritual Big Old Black watched the cannibalistic frenzy with a face full of sheer horror. “Boss, isn’t that Sinking Gold Carp just going to get eaten alive?!” he asked, his eyes glued to the churning water of the cold pond. Bibo, however, narrowed his eyes, a glimmer of ancient recognition

Chapter 180: Nine Dragons Refining the World The surrounding Sinking Gold Carps were completely defenseless against the ascending apex predator. One by one, they were mercilessly torn apart, their scales shredded by dagger-like teeth and their flesh chewed into pulp before being swallowed whole. As the mutating runt gorged itself on its kin, dense layers

Chapter 181: Commencing the Refinement Bibo watched Big Old Black’s retreating figure and sighed. “For a coward, he certainly doesn’t fear shedding blood in a brawl. Yet show him something a little unnatural, and he bolts!” He turned back to the writhing golden creature. “But, Great King, this is no ordinary Puppet Technique, is it?”

Chapter 182: Reforging the Blood Water Pool “[Blood Equalizing Spirit Formation]!” Wu Yuan’s voice echoed sharply through the cavern. This was the critical prerequisite array for Nine Dragons Refining the World, designed to forcefully harmonize disparate bloodlines and Spiritual Qi into a singular, unified essence. Instantly, jagged chains of black Spiritual Qi erupted from the

Chapter 183: Chixiao Peak The refinement process laid Wu Yuan’s grand design bare: he was forging an Array Artifact, a mechanism identical in nature to Wind Feather. However, this was the orthodox path of creation—a seamless fusion where the Formation and the Magical Artifact were fundamentally inseparable. This ambitious concept had only crystallized after he

Chapter 184: Delivering the Letter [Green Intelligence: Probability of defeating Princess Peacock is fifty percent. Probability of killing her: zero. Warning: Target possesses extremely threatening hidden methods.] Something is wrong. Very wrong. Wu Yuan’s eyes narrowed. He had grossly underestimated Princess Peacock. Despite his outward display of arrogant confidence moments prior, Wu Yuan’s core nature

Chapter 185: Probing Wu Yuan watched Little Yellow’s retreating figure, listening to the rat’s excited shouts echoing in the distance. A deep frown creased his features. Bibo stepped up beside him. “Worry not, Great King. Chief Steward Huang might be playful, but he is exceptionally reliable when it matters.” Wu Yuan let out a heavy

Chapter 186: Mang Hound Not long after Wu Yuan’s war council concluded, a small copper-armored lion sprinted into the Golden Armor Lion’s presence, its face tight with anxiety. “Great King, those shadow-dwelling rats are growing too brazen! The grasslands are practically hollowed out by their tunnels. They’re disrupting our entire territory! Why don’t we mobilize,

Chapter 187: Storm One Ear’s gaze burned like a torch, locked dead onto the charging Mang Hound leader. The massive beast possessed a terrifying momentum, its jaws unhinged and dripping with corrosive saliva as it sought to swallow the rat commander whole. A vicious glint flashed in One Ear’s single eye. He stepped forward fearlessly,

Chapter 188: Wave-Subduing White Elephant The violent upheaval Wu Yuan unleashed across the Azure Spirit Mountain Range inevitably spilled into Polong Lake. While technically Wu Yuan’s territory, Polong Lake was a unique logistical nightmare. The deep waters harbored countless aquatic demon tribes that had never sworn fealty to him. Naturally, they became primary targets in

Chapter 189: The Well-Fed Wave-Subduing At that moment, the river otter and rat demons lurking at the entrance were startled and immediately rushed in, nervously watching the Wave-Subduing White Elephant, adopting defensive stances. “You big guy, don’t think about causing trouble recklessly. Our Great King is very powerful!” Although these rat demons feared the elephant’s

Chapter 190: Demon Subduing Seal The moment Wu Yuan stepped into the courtyard, his commanding presence and razor-sharp aura completely overwhelmed the Wave-Subduing White Elephant. “A-all I can eat?” Fubo stammered, his massive eyes bulging. He stared down at Wu Yuan, entirely unable to process the sheer audacity of the offer. Wu Yuan smiled, his

Chapter 191: Little Yellow Takes Action Returning to his treehouse, Wu Yuan carefully placed the wooden Buddha statue on his table. He hesitated. The thought of adopting an ascetic, monastic lifestyle disgusted him. However, the Karmic Pearl’s intelligence had mapped out a safe loophole. Exhaling slowly, he forced his claws into the reverse formation of

Chapter 192: Little Yellow Fights the Fox Demon “Aiyo! Aiyo!” Little Yellow blinked in absolute bewilderment as Big Old Black violently shoved past him. The massive rat frantically scooped up the dazed, tumbling fox cub, dusting it off while muttering incessant apologies. “Aiyo, little ancestor! Did you hurt yourself? Please don’t tell your parents! It

Chapter 193: Fox Immortal The adult fox demons subtly exchanged calculating glances as they pocketed the Purple Jade tokens. The logic was simple. These two rat demons had managed to infiltrate the absolute core of the Moon Inviting Fox territory. This wasn’t just the borderlands; this was the nursery. Their sudden appearance would have instantly

Chapter 194: A Letter for Cat King The grey fox Elder deposited Little Yellow and Big Old Black in front of a towering, impossibly majestic palace. He immediately dropped to his knees, kowtowing deeply toward the towering doors. “Big Grandaunt, Hu Mo has brought the demons you requested to see!” he announced. He kowtowed once

Chapter 195: Cat King’s Sacrifice Although the Moon Spirit Grass was of such a low grade that the Cat King would normally never even glance at it, it represented the absolute best Wu Yuan could provide at the time. Despite its low quality, the Cat King had never forgotten its exceptionally sweet taste. When he

Chapter 196: Meeting the Parents The Fox Immortal’s words stripped away the Palace Master’s languid demeanor. Her soft, charming features sharpened into a mask of cold resolution. “This is our opening. Otherwise, Cat Cat would have been dragged back home ages ago. Why else would he remain by my side?” “Those ancient relics of the

Chapter 197: Help The rabbit demon clan leader’s whiskers twitched with satisfaction, his mouth opening to seal the deal. Before he could speak, Big Old Black’s face scrunched in distress. “But logistics are a nightmare! Hauling all this through the Spiritual Qi barren zone won’t be easy. If I bring a massive retinue of demons

Chapter 198: Great Harvest The Cat King nodded slightly, signaling Red Tiger to continue his report. “Although the Wood Spirit Temple didn’t send a massive horde,” Red Tiger explained, “the Green Wood Spirit Deer they dispatched was handpicked by their Sacred Wood faction. Its vitality is peerless among its rank. It is notoriously difficult to

Chapter 199: Ambush on the Two Demons Shouldering their heavy packs, Big Old Black and Little Yellow resumed their long trek back to Little Green Mountain. Crossing the threshold into the barren zone of Spiritual Qi, Big Old Black cast a wistful glance over his shoulder. “A shame we couldn’t see the Cat King one

Chapter 200: The Pangolin’s Slaughter Blood trickled down the Silver Armor Lion’s snout. A low, humiliated growl vibrated in its throat. Big Old Black’s desperate strike hadn’t inflicted fatal damage, but the sheer insult of being scarred by a lowly rat burned like acid. “You filthy vermin,” the lion snarled, the fur along its spine

Chapter 201: Attacking the Golden Armor Lion The Pangolin’s overlapping scales formed an impenetrable fortress. The Bronze Armor Lions had grossly overestimated the sharpness of their own fangs; their desperate bites merely scraped shallow white lines across the beast’s armor. The lion foolishly trying to tear at the Pangolin’s hindquarters couldn’t even find a gap

Chapter 202: Golden Armor Lion Defeated The words had barely left Wu Yuan’s mouth before he swung the Flood Dragon Flow Spear with apocalyptic force. CLANG! A deafening collision shattered the air, showering the battlefield in blinding sparks. Wu Yuan possessed no elegant spear martial arts. He relied entirely on raw, tyrannical brute strength and

Chapter 203: Attacking the Golden Armor Lion’s Territory Hearing the crippled Golden Armor Lion invoke Princess Peacock’s name as a final, desperate shield, Wu Yuan’s expression darkened. “Right now, the only one deciding your miserable dog’s life is me.” Muscles coiling, Wu Yuan hurled the Flood Dragon Flow Spear. The heavy shaft shrieked through the

Chapter 204: Princess Peacock Deep, guttural roars echoed from the surviving lion formations. The synchronized bellowing of dozens of Bronze Armor Lions resonated, generating invisible, kinetic shockwaves that tore across the grasslands. Wherever the sonic ripples passed, the earth fractured and the tall grass was pulverized. Sensing the escalation, the rat demons reared back and

Chapter 205: The Rule-Abiding Five Spirit Peacock Seeing Wu Yuan standing before her like a mute statue, the Five Spirit Peacock’s eyes narrowed in aristocratic displeasure. “The alliance charter explicitly stated: all inter-faction conflict is strictly forbidden prior to reaching the late stage of Qi Condensation!” she reprimanded, her tone dripping with self-righteous authority. “Even

Chapter 206: The Sinister Green Wood Spirit Deer Sensing Wu Yuan’s locked-down state, the Green Wood Spirit Deer turned toward the sulking Five Spirit Peacock. “This rat demon actually dares to disrespect a noble descendant of a True Spirit. Allow me to teach him a lesson!” But before the Deer could strike, the Five Spirit

Chapter 207: The Easily Appeased Little Yellow “I also got a massive amount of help when I saw the Cat King this time!” Little Yellow chattered, his paws eagerly digging into his Storage Bag. He couldn’t wait to show off his haul. Wu Yuan first noted a massive pile of jade slips, stacked into a

Chapter 208: Breaking Through to Late Body Refinement Stage “Also, the Cat King specifically prepared some jade slips for you. They contain critical intelligence!” Big Old Black reported, fishing the items from his Storage Bag. “The first contains highly detailed dossiers on your competitors and their backing factions, compiled by the Winged Tiger patriarch. He

Chapter 209: Rapid Progress Hovering above Wu Yuan’s head, the Crimson Heaven Peak continuously wept Blood Essence. The hyper-refined liquid rained down, rapidly replenishing his starved, hollowed-out physique. The Blood Essence merged into Wu Yuan’s newly liquefied Blood Qi with flawless, zero-friction efficiency. Simultaneously, the marrow deep within his bones went into biological overdrive, churning

Chapter 210: The Secret of the Seal Once Princess Peacock and her entourage broke through to the late stage of Qi Condensation, every lethal spell, ancient talisman, and High Grade Magical Artifact they carried would be fully unlocked. At that point, they could unleash their absolute combat potential. Currently, relying on their overwhelming foundation and

Chapter 211: A Parasite Usurping the Host Wu Yuan’s eyes widened, his mind reeling. Is this something a lowly Qi Condensation ant like me should even be hearing? This is completely absurd. It defies all logic. He could wrap his head around the lethal Formation and the True Treasure left behind by the Demon King,

Chapter 212: Contracting Strength Wu Yuan plunged headfirst into his treehouse, frantically scouring his collection of Formation manuals to find the perfect trap for his two impending enemies. “The Five Spirit Peacock wields all five elements with exquisite mastery. She’ll be an absolute nightmare to pin down,” he muttered, rapidly flipping pages. “And that Green

Chapter 213: Market Relocation Wu Yuan let out a long breath as the terrifying amethyst crystallization on his claws finally halted. In just the few breaths it had taken to seal the Purple Jade Ore Mother into the wooden box, the cavern had already begun to reclaim its lost power. Above him, jagged pillars of

Chapter 214: Holy Spirit Wood Wu Yuan stood at the edge of Polong Lake, his gaze sharp and cold. With a casual wave of his paw, the previously calm waters instantly churned. Mysterious, profound spirit patterns broke the surface, rapidly intertwining to form a complex, earthen-yellow array. This was the First Grade High Grade Formation

Chapter 215: The Plan Begins The Green Wood Spirit Deer violently stamped its hooves on the surface of Polong Lake. From the point of impact, a frenzied bloom of flowers and thorny vines exploded outward, choking the water. “A mere coincidence?!” it roared, its voice trembling with unwilling rage. “I refuse to believe it! Who

Chapter 216: Battle the Peacock The Cat King’s ears flattened against his head. His large, round eyes welled with tears as he looked up at the Palace Master, the picture of absolute heartbreak. “You promised to help me!” he wailed. The Palace Master looked down at the pitiful furball, her chest heaving slightly. She pursed

Chapter 217: White-Hot Wu Yuan cursed, twisting his face into a mask of bitter resentment. “I knew you were playing me! Prattling on about the rules, when you were plotting to stab me in the back from the very start!” Kong Ling’er’s brow furrowed, her voice dropping into a register of frigid, absolute disdain. “Ignorant

Chapter 218: Mutual Destruction Finally, beneath Kong Ling’er’s ecstatic gaze, the last remnants of Crimson Heaven Peak’s Blood Transforming Divine Light shattered into nothingness. The crimson mountain fell silent, its offensive entirely broken. Exhaling a long, shuddering breath, Kong Ling’er looked down at Wu Yuan. The haughty disdain in her eyes had been replaced by

Chapter 219: The Fisherman Profits Kong Ling’er stared coldly at the massive, blackened stump ahead, bitter resignation gnawing at her heart. Tender green shoots suddenly breached the charred bark, rapidly multiplying into verdant branches and leaves. Within moments, a lush, miniature ancient tree bloomed from the devastation. The half-charred, grotesque form of the Green Wood

Chapter 220: Gambling with Life When Wu Yuan first faced Kong Ling’er’s technique, he had hesitated. He knew she was hoarding a Great Demon’s trump card, and he had no counter for it. To bait it out and reset the board, he had to completely vanish from their radar. Feigning his death was the only

Chapter 221: Signing the Contract Wu Yuan slumped against the massive bluestone, his chest heaving as he dragged ragged breaths into his ruined lungs. A familiar yellow blur materialized beside him. Xiao Huang’s eyes were glassy with unshed tears. His tiny claws trembled violently as he urgently shoved chunks of Blood Essence into Wu Yuan’s

Chapter 222: The Cave-Heaven Master Without Prestige Wu Yuan moved with agonizing caution, his heart hammering against his ribs as if he were treading on incredibly thin ice. He knew the blood-red spear was the Demon King’s true treasure—an artifact boasting power comparable to the Nascent Soul realm. He felt absolutely zero greed toward it,

Chapter 223: The Cave Heaven Descends Upon the Mortal Realm “Huh. Interesting.” The barometric pressure had dropped so low that the surrounding Great Demons were physically shaking, struggling to breathe. But the moment the Palace Master spoke, her eyes fixed intently on the water mirror, the suffocating, frozen atmosphere instantly shattered. The collective demons exhaled

Chapter 224: The True Treasure Appears The exact microsecond the azure sun fully locked into the sky, Wu Yuan’s eyes snapped open. A flash of absolute resolve ignited in his gaze. “Now.” With a low, vibrating growl, he triggered the Grotto-Heaven Spirit Attraction Art. Instantly, an incomprehensibly dense weight of Spiritual Qi crashed down onto

Chapter 225: Leaving Home Behind, Carrying the Bucket and Fleeing Wu Yuan, his titanic form forged entirely from stolen Grotto-Heaven power, gripped the Blood-Binding Spirit Mulberry tree. Hauling it over his shoulder like a massive, bluish-gray towing cable, he braced his stance. The tree’s roots were infinitely anchored deep within Little Green Mountain. He was

Chapter 226: Escaping Tribulation and Reincarnation The crimson phantom erupted in a frenzy, its voice tearing through the sky in a ragged howl. “I remember now!” it roared. “Damn you, to think you could still cast [Barrier of Perception]!” “Azure Radiance Grotto-Heaven! We are Dao enemies! We are destined to be each other’s killing tribulation!

Chapter 227: A Blessed Land Wu Yuan cradled the massive bluestone against his chest, stroking its coarse surface with trembling claws as if it were the most precious treasure in the cosmos. His legs finally gave out. He collapsed onto the dirt, threw his head back, and let out a manic, breathless laugh. “I’m alive!”

Chapter 228: Qingyuan Blessed Land If Wu Yuan had simply relied on the residual grotto-heaven power to forge this space, the resulting Blessed Land would have ultimately remained a mere severed limb of the Azure Radiance Grotto-Heaven. Setting aside Wu Yuan’s own preferences, Lord Xiaoqing would have never permitted it. The former master of the

Chapter 229: The Wealth of the Green Wood Spirit Deer The moment Wu Yuan’s Divine Sense swept over the three specific spirit woods inside the bag, a tidal wave of sheer, unadulterated joy crashed over him. “I’ve struck the motherlode!” he blurted out. Even as the former absolute ruler of Little Green Mountain, accustomed to

Chapter 230: The Arrival of the Rat Demons The sheer, suffocating gravity of Wu Yuan’s karmic providence was an irresistible feast for the Fortune Spirit Woods. Instinctively terrified that Wu Yuan might reject them, the three saplings aggressively purged every last trace of the Green Wood Spirit Deer’s aura from their roots, converting the residual

Chapter 231: Placing the Ore Mother One might recall the subterranean stone cavern beneath the bamboo forest of Little Green Mountain, where Wu Yuan had first discovered the Purple Jade vein. During that initial excavation, a group of rat demons had accidentally unearthed the Purple Jade Marrow Mother. The moment the Marrow Mother was exposed,

Chapter 232: The Current State of the Azure Spirit Mountain Range This apocalyptic, militarized exodus was completely different from the cautious infiltration of the first rat squads. If any ordinary Demon Beast encountered a swarm of this magnitude, the thought of attacking wouldn’t even cross its mind. The sheer, overwhelming pressure of the horde would

Chapter 233: One Ear’s Tribulation “If you walk this path, the dangers are absolute,” Wu Yuan warned, his tone dead serious. “A single misstep, and you will devolve into a mindless, slavering beast driven only by the instinct to slaughter.” One Ear grinned, his lips peeling back to reveal rows of sinister, needle-like teeth. “Then

Chapter 234: Third-Order Bloodline Wu Yuan continued his lecture to One Ear. “The vast majority of the souls trapped within your Soul Tide belong to our own rat demons. That gives you a massive home-field advantage when it comes to subjugating them.” He flashed a wicked, razor-toothed grin. “Furthermore, I’m standing right here. The souls

Chapter 235: A New Journey Wu Yuan’s mind raced with calculations. With the foundation I’ve built and the Karma Pearl feeding me intelligence, the path to the Golden Core stage is already paved beneath my feet. I need to elevate my vision. My new baseline goal must be breaking through to the Tier 4 Nascent

Chapter 236: Wu Yuan is a Buddha Hearing Xiao Huang’s inquiry about Fubo, Wu Yuan shook his head, a fleeting trace of regret crossing his snout. “Fubo walks a different path than we do,” Wu Yuan explained. “He has his own pursuits and his own mission. He mentioned a while ago that he needed to

Chapter 237: The Unanticipated Stench Wu Yuan moved through the dense forest like a ghost, his lithe frame weaving silently through the underbrush. Suddenly, he skidded to a halt. His ears twitched, and his snout flared as he parsed the air currents. I’m almost at the coordinates Xiao Huang pointed out. There’s a faint, highly

Chapter 238: The First Demon Beast Encountered After Coming Out Wu Yuan stroked his whiskers, his demonic sense analyzing the faint fluctuations ahead. “I’m detecting an aura at the late stage of Qi Condensation,” he muttered, “but it’s incredibly impure and chaotic. Even with my Cultivation suppressed, this thing is definitely no match for me.”

Chapter 239: Starting the Chaotic Slaughter The Pangolin blinked, looking down at the desiccated corpse with genuine confusion. “Boss… was that mink really a late-stage Qi Condensation demon? Why did it feel so incredibly weak?” Wu Yuan fell silent for a moment, letting the realization wash over him. A profoundly arrogant smile slowly stretched across

Chapter 240: The Development and Changes of the Rat Horde Wu Yuan continued, a hint of genuine emotion bleeding into his voice. “But if their bloodline is a bit higher, or if they have some backing, those monsters are absolutely rolling in wealth. Just the raw materials harvested from their corpses and their Magical Artifacts

Chapter 241: Spice Endurance Ritual The monkey demon scrambled backward, any thought of attacking completely erased from its mind. As a lowly mountain patroller who barely scraped by on scraps all year, throwing its life away for the territory simply wasn’t on the agenda. It had only dared to call out earlier because fleeing immediately

Chapter 242: The Qi Condensation Perfection Wild Boar Demon Wu Yuan and Little Huang slowly turned their heads to stare at the Pangolin. The massive, heavily armored beast was vibrating with enthusiasm, its eyes wide and totally engrossed in the grotesque spectacle below. It even pumped a clawed fist in the air, joining the roaring

Chapter 243: Combat Comprehension Beyond acquiring a proper cultivation technique, Wu Yuan also needed to drastically elevate his raw combat experience. He planned to use flawless technique and micro-management to patch the holes in his unrefined Demon Power. This was critical for his future. Once he inevitably ventured into the Dao Spirit Realm, he couldn’t

Chapter 244: Suppressing the Wild Boar Demon With the sonic attack landing a crippling blow, Wu Yuan didn’t give the beast a fraction of a second to breathe. His figure blurred, instantly closing the distance. The claws on his hands ignited with a terrifying, crimson Blood Qi that burned like hellfire. Radiating absolute killing intent,

Chapter 245: The Purifying Power of the Demon Subduing Seal As the Blood Qi Field locked down the Wild Boar King, Wu Yuan felt the suffocating gap in their cultivation realms begin to narrow. A profound sense of clarity washed over his mind. So this is the true essence of combat between cultivators, Wu Yuan

Chapter 246: Subduing the Wild Boar Demon Wu Yuan looked down at the cowering, shivering mass of surviving demons. A sharp, predatory smile touched the corners of his mouth. “You managed to survive my wrath,” Wu Yuan declared, his voice rolling over the cratered valley with heavy authority. “Consider that a mix of your own

Chapter 247: Purging Wild Boar Mountain The Wild Boar King’s originally feral, bloodthirsty expression smoothed into a mask of absolute, serene tranquility. He slowly opened his eyes. The feral crimson glow was gone, replaced by a clear, placid lucidity. He shifted his gaze slightly, sensing Wu Yuan sitting cross-legged on his massive snout. The boar

Chapter 248: Changes in the Blessed Land With the purge complete, Wu Yuan had smoothly, invisibly transformed Wild Boar Mountain into his new forward operating base. To the outside world, this was just another chaotic, bloody regime change—a daily occurrence in the demon territories. No one would blink twice. Behind this perfect camouflage, Wu Yuan

Chapter 249: The Grotto-Heaven’s Secret Vault These skeletal hands acting as living mortar were actually mutated, Tier-One Middle Grade Bone Tempering Flowers. Normally, these spirit plants were used to temper a demon’s skeleton, artificially nurturing a body of “spiritual bone.” When Wu Yuan first discovered the basic Bone Tempering Grass back on Wolf Mountain, the

Chapter 250: Nascent Soul Cultivation Method Wu Yuan’s awe quickly curdled into profound, agonizing heartbreak. He clutched his head, spinning in slow circles as he yelled at the empty cosmos. “Soul Formation inheritances! Tier-Five techniques that only exist in myth! And they’re just holograms?! They used to be here, and now they’re gone!” But the

Chapter 251: The Blood Sun Wu Yuan cleared his mind and began a meticulous analysis of the Sun, Moon, and Star Three Origins World Transformation Scripture. He quickly realized that the Novice stage of the technique wasn’t particularly complex in theory. The true bottleneck was execution: forcefully transmuting one’s physical vitality (Essence), Qi (Spiritual Energy),

Chapter 252: Inspecting the Blessed Land The symbiotic loop established by the Sun, Moon, and Star Three Origins World Transformation Scripture was absolute. While the rat demons retained control of their own Blood Qi during their lifetimes, death did not mean dissipation. When a rat aged and died, its accumulated vitality wouldn’t bleed out into

Chapter 253: The Rat Nest After finalizing the agricultural directives, Wu Yuan had Big Old Black lead him to a massive, yawning crater situated at the edge of the Blessed Land. The pit was pitch-black and seemingly bottomless. Even standing at the lip, Wu Yuan could feel a powerful, magnetic undertow pulling the ambient Spiritual

Chapter 254: The Little Mice in the Rat Nest The Beast Spirit Blood produced by the Blood-Binding Spirit Mulberry was fundamentally different from the Snake Spirit Blood Wu Yuan had previously used to manipulate the Fleshy Crest Snake King. It wasn’t laced with addictive, mind-altering narcotics. Instead, it was a hyper-dense, premium nutritional supplement overflowing

Chapter 255: Cultivation Advancement Wu Yuan took a leisurely stroll through the Qingyuan Blessed Land, conducting a final, sweeping patrol of his domain. The atmosphere was thick with rolling mists of Spiritual Qi. The rat swarm was industrious and thriving, injecting a vibrant, chaotic vitality into every corner of the dimension. Satisfied that his empire

Chapter 256: Refining the Spirit Now armed with a new Cultivation method, Wu Yuan decided it was time to completely overhaul his approach to soul refinement, aiming to bring his tripartite stats into perfect, harmonious balance. To that end, Wu Yuan had drafted an extremely clear, highly optimized roadmap for his immediate progression. The primary

Chapter 257: Splitting the Soul Star The agonizing sensation of his physical brain flash-boiling was merely the superficial, external trauma. Following immediately in its wake was an apocalyptic, reality-breaking agony erupting from the absolute, deepest core of his primordial soul. Wu Yuan felt as though an inextinguishable, cosmic inferno had been violently ignited directly on

Chapter 258: Crimson Sun Illuminating Creation Mirror What made the Blood Sun truly terrifying wasn’t just its capacity for brute-force destruction; its mutating radiation could physically rewrite the genetic code of the Rat Clan, inducing unpredictable, grotesque biological evolutions. And because the rat swarm was already hard-wired with a fanatical, cult-like devotion and absolute obedience

Chapter 259: The Wild Boar Demon Who Loves Reading Buddhist Scriptures Under the leadership of the Wild Boar Demon, Wild Boar Mountain flourished, gathering over ten thousand demon clans, becoming a force not to be underestimated, roaring through the mountains and forests with imposing majesty. In no time, Wu Yuan, relying on his superb stealth

Chapter 260: Wanshu Buddhism Auditing the Wild Boar Demon’s sermon, Wu Yuan’s internal processors registered a mild spike of genuine surprise. He genuinely hadn’t modeled a scenario where the Boar would independently compile a functional, theological interpretation of the source code. Regardless of whether the Boar’s philosophical decryption was objectively accurate, the mere fact that

Chapter 261: Foundation Establishment Divine Soul Having received the relevant information, Wu Yuan began planning how to go to Hundred Demon City. First, Wu Yuan definitely would not go to Hundred Demon City immediately. He had to first send demons to scout for intelligence before making a decision. After all, the incident that occurred in

Chapter 262: Lifebound Gu Insect Wu Yuan’s previously narrowed eyes violently snapped open, a terrifying, sub-zero glint flashing within his pupils. His body launched forward with the apocalyptic velocity of a lightning strike. His razor-sharp claws violently, effortlessly breached the Wild Boar Demon’s chest cavity, plunging deep into the flesh. His entire forearm sank into

Chapter 263: Moon Worship Ceremony Wu Yuan sat cross-legged at the center of his treehouse. The structure, woven from the thick branches of the Spirit Mulberry Tree, was filled with a faint, woody fragrance. Silken threads hung all around, swaying gently. The Spirit Mulberry Tree stood guard over him in serene silence. Wu Yuan was

Chapter 264: Silver Moon Phantom The pangolin stood upright on its hind legs, adopting a bipedal stance. In its sharp claws, it tightly gripped a massive, heavy golden blade. The weapon radiated a terrifyingly sharp aura, as if capable of cleaving anything in its path. It began a slow, heavy march onto the elevated ceremonial

Chapter 265: Erasing Consciousness “Your proposal… I have considered it carefully, and I believe it is indeed feasible!” Wu Yuan thought for a moment, breaking the silence first with his affirmation. “However!” Immediately after, Wu Yuan’s tone shifted, carrying a hint of caution. “Currently, this plan still has some flaws that need to be addressed!”

Chapter 266: Nine Suns Sect, Myriad Spirit Immortal City Wu Yuan wasn’t entirely sure whether Yu Yao’s stubbornness stemmed from genuine fortitude, or if he simply looked down on demon race cultivators and low-tier cultivators. It was also possible that he had already accepted that falling into the hands of demons meant certain death, hence

Chapter 267: Yin Vein Dragon Raising its Head The geographic nexus of the Myriad Spirit Immortal City was truly unique. It was anchored directly at the chaotic borderlands where the Demon Domain, the Dao Source Domain, and the Nine Suns Realm violently intersected. This high-traffic convergence created a sprawling, unregulated melting pot. The city was

Chapter 268: Scheming However, Wu Yuan quickly calmed down, comforting himself, “It shouldn’t affect me!” “Since the Karma Pearl hasn’t said anything, it means there’s no danger to me!” “This kind of scheme won’t impact a small fry like me!” “Besides, who would think a little mouse could discover what’s hidden here!” Wu Yuan muttered

Chapter 269: Spirit Contract Master When the chronological timer aligned for the Blood Banquet Festival, the Red Scorpion Great Demon was mathematically required to spawn within the grid of Hundred Demon City to host the event. Simultaneously, the covert human faction anchoring the background would undoubtedly be maintaining high-priority, stealth surveillance on the Scorpion’s coordinates.

Chapter 270: An Eerie Vibe One Ear slapped his paws together, his face radiating absolute confidence. “Furthermore, because Yu Yao’s soul is in our possession, handling this will be even easier—it’s a piece of cake!” “Boss, just wait! I’ll soon make this Living Zombie Gu obediently serve as your hound, ready for your command!” Listening

Chapter 271: Soul Star Phantoms The ninety-nine rat phantoms grew increasingly translucent, their spiritual forms wearing thin as if they might dissolve into the surrounding mist at any second. Exhausted beyond measure, the pack of spirit-rats decided to give up, turning their snouts back down the path. But they froze. The steps beneath them were

Chapter 272: The Wild Boar Demon’s Progress Wu Yuan swayed his head to a silent rhythm, thoroughly intoxicated by his own progress. “Truly, my genius knows no bounds,” he murmured. “This Epiphany has been an immeasurable boon to my mastery of Formations. The myriad Spirit Runes are inherently interconnected; the underlying logic of Magical Artifacts

Chapter 273: Transforming Waste Into Treasure The insectoid demon trembled as it spoke. “My previous work was to help certain great demons in Hundred Demon City clean up the feces in the city, collecting them and placing them in one location for centralized processing.” “After all, this feces is also a treasure, useful for fertilizing

Chapter 274: Black Gold Wu Yuan stared at the dung beetle-like insect demon that the wild boar demon had delivered, clicking his tongue in genuine fascination. “Truly, a cultivator must venture out to broaden his horizons!” “A dung beetle demon, transforming filth into treasure, how interesting!” He hefted the Storage Bag in his hand. It

# Chapter 275: Three Talents Spirit Ascension Wu Yuan cast the Sacred Scarab from his beast bag with regal indifference. Still disoriented by the shifting void, the insect demon’s antennae trembled before its compound eyes had even focused. It sensed the profound, fetid terroir of the abyss below—a scent of divine rot and ancient nutrients.

Chapter 276: Law Core Wu Yuan paced his treehouse, his mind turning over the implications of his newly unified existence. “When a Cultivator merges their essence, energy, and spirit to breach the third order, the resulting localized singularity is called a Golden Core,” he murmured, his voice resonating with a strange, layered density. “What I

Chapter 277: Earth Spirit Earthworm Little Yellow lay flat on his stomach, his golden-furred rear sticking high into the air. He was laboriously excavating the soil, completely oblivious to Wu Yuan’s silent approach. Wu Yuan tilted his head, his whiskers twitching with mild amusement. It was the first time the famously gluttonous hamster had ever

Chapter 278: Breaking Through to Foundation Establishment Wu Yuan shook his head, his tone resolute. “The Earth Spirit Earthworm bloodline within this specimen is dense, yes, but it is entirely dormant. It lacks the critical spark of vitality required to trigger a true metamorphosis.” Hearing this, Little Yellow’s proud posture instantly collapsed. He deflated like

Chapter 279: Lifespan The Cultivation world was bound by ironclad, immutable laws. A Qi Condensation Cultivator possessed a natural lifespan of one hundred and fifty years; a Foundation Establishment Cultivator was granted five hundred. It did not matter how potent your bloodline was, how deeply you comprehended the esoteric arts, or how many rare, life-extending

Chapter 280: Ancient Xun’s Anomalous Change The sweeping alchemical refinement of Wu Yuan’s Foundation Establishment breakthrough did not stop at his physical form. The Magical Artifacts he had personally Awakened and meticulously nurtured within his Dantian also reaped massive dividends from the surging Spiritual Qi. Most notably, Chixiao Peak shattered its previous limits, officially ascending

Chapter 281: Earth Spirit Earthworm For weeks, Wu Yuan’s mind had been an iron vault. Plunged into the agonizing, razor’s-edge threshold of his second-rank breakthrough, the outside world had simply ceased to exist. Consequently, he had completely forgotten the bizarre agricultural project Little Yellow had been obsessing over. A few days after the breakthrough stabilized,

Chapter 282: Shocking Little Yellow for a Hundred Years The moment the word “Reward” left Wu Yuan’s snout, Little Yellow’s eyes ignited. The hamster launched himself three feet into the air, shrieking with absolute glee. “I want it! I want that… that ‘Man-Han Imperial Feast’ thing you talked about! And I want General Chef to

Chapter 283: Big Old Black’s Ambition Little Yellow’s jaw dropped. The sheer, logistical horror of Big Old Black’s ambition was staggering. “Other rat clans are one thing,” the hamster stammered, genuinely appalled. “But… the rest of the Demon Race?! Don’t you find them repulsive?!” “They’re grotesque! Misshapen! How could you even consider mixing our elegant,

Chapter 284: Queen Bee and Queen Ant While the name change from “White Flower” to “Hundred Flower” seemed trivial, the biological implications were staggering. The Queen Bee had shattered her genetic ceiling, evolving into a High Grade first-tier entity. To Wu Yuan, whose own bloodline was a terrifying, apocalyptic anomaly, a High Grade first-tier mutation

Chapter 285: Rebuilding Polong Lake Wu Yuan knew exactly why the captive water demons were toiling with such frantic, back-breaking zealotry. It wasn’t out of the goodness of their hearts. It was because he had hung a massive, irresistible carrot in front of them: Once the primary lake basin was saturated and the hydrostatic Formations

Chapter 286: The Use of the Dragon Transformation Bowl While the total population of the Demon Race under Wu Yuan’s absolute command was not yet overwhelmingly massive, he was constantly refining and ruthlessly optimizing his governance model. Currently, his empire was small enough to be agile. If a systemic flaw appeared, he could pivot the

Chapter 287: Leaping the Dragon Gate Bibo leaned in, his expression a mask of reverent anticipation. “The Dragon Transformation Bowl is not merely a high-tier artifact,” Wu Yuan began, his voice echoing over the roar of the falls. “It is the embryonic core of a true Dharma Treasure. Its sole cosmological function is to refine

Chapter 288: Wu Mian (Faceless) Perhaps it was the violent, gale-force winds whipping across the apex of the Blood River, or perhaps it was the corrosive, cosmological gravity of the artifact’s seal. Whatever the cause, the mutilated rat demon’s biological regeneration had completely failed. When the rat slammed into the rocky plateau, the impact was

Chapter 289: Wen Chan’s Development Just outside the sprawling, chaotic borders of Hundred Demon City, the night was as thick and suffocating as wet ink. A tense, solemn atmosphere choked the air. Deep beneath the city’s perimeter, creeping through a winding, claustrophobic tunnel excavated directly under the municipal dung valley, a crew of heavily burdened

Chapter 290: Bear Commander To mitigate operational risk, Wu Yuan had explicitly ordered Wen Chan to keep his Buddhist converts out of Hundred Demon City. In the Demon Domains, Buddhist cultivators were an absolute, bizarre anomaly. Some demons lived their entire, violent lives without ever seeing a single monk. If a disciplined, scripture-chanting congregation suddenly

Chapter 291: Smuggling The Wolf Demon’s voice was grave, his posture rigid with forced sincerity. “Commander Bear, set your mind at ease. When next I cross this threshold, I shall bring you exact coordinates for the Purple Sun Flower.” Commander Bear had been waiting for this specific promise. The Purple Sun Flower was not a

Chapter 292: Commander Bear’s Pursuit The Boar Monk’s heavy, bristling ears twitched. He maintained absolute focus, tracking the Wolf Demon’s aura until it bled away completely, swallowed by the dense canopy of the ancient forest. Only then did the monolithic, black-cloaked figure standing in the shadows beside him break the silence. The voice was suffocatingly

Chapter 293: Peeling Skin and Swapping Bodies Wu Yuan drove Wu Mian’s draconic talons deeper into Commander Bear’s torso. He locked the physical grapple, his grip absolute and unyielding. Through the biometric feedback of the bloodline tether, Wu Yuan felt the massive bear’s kinetic output rapidly degrading. Commander Bear’s ambient Demon Power was violently flatlining,

Chapter 294: Buddhist Cultivator In the Cultivation world, concepts such as a ‘Buddha Heart,’ a ‘Dao Heart,’ or a ‘Demonic Heart’ are not tangible objects. They are more like a Cultivator’s firm spiritual will, where the Cultivator clearly defines their path and advances unwaveringly. Regardless of whether this path seems right or normal in others’

Chapter 295: Red-Skinned Frog Demon Hearing Little White’s rationale, Wu Yuan felt a conflicting surge of exasperation and dark amusement. He interrogated the tiger on his operational intent. Is this thy grand strategy? To simply wallow in degradation and permanently abort thy Cultivation? Little White, however, maintained an aura of absolute, unbothered apathy. He was

Chapter 296: The Special Frog Demon This red-skinned Frog Demon was the descendant of the Toad Great Demon, one of the five Foundation Establishment demons ruling Hundred Demon City, and the most favored descendant at that. After all, the Toad Demon had only this one descendant, so naturally, he was coddled as if afraid the

Chapter 297: Testing the Frog Demon The Red-Skinned Frog Demon paused, his bulbous eyes narrowing as he ran a brief calculation. “Very well. The Red Scorpion Great Demon recently authorized my ‘father’ to manage the procurement logistics for the upcoming Blood Banquet Festival. Consequently, a volume of administrative labor has been delegated to my jurisdiction.

Chapter 298: Within Hundred Demon City The severed section of the Frog Demon’s tongue was not the conclusion of his anatomical nightmare. The ragged, bleeding stump left in the Frog’s mouth instantly began to violently swell and writhe. Under the amphibian’s wide, horrified gaze, dense, clustered colonies of pulsating flesh-tumors aggressively erupted from the wound,

Chapter 299: Green Bamboo Demon A weathered, decaying wooden plaque hung suspended above the storefront. Etched into the rotting timber, in a jagged, unsteady calligraphy, were three immortal characters: Wood Affinity Hall. A single glance at the signage provided Wu Yuan with a massive intelligence dump. For a localized demon to utilize a naming convention

Chapter 300: Bartering Auditing Wu Yuan’s initial selection of garbage-tier, low-value ores, a flicker of profound economic disappointment washed over the Green Bamboo Demon. The profit margins on those specific assets were statistically irrelevant. However, the merchant rapidly corrected its emotional baseline. In the brutal economy of the wasteland, even the meat on a mosquito’s

Chapter 301: Dao Source Stone Acquired Wu Yuan looked at the Bamboo Demon, noting the feral heat in the creature’s eyes, and spoke with deliberate slowness. “Among these Magical Artifacts, the wolf-tooth clubs are eight hundred Low Grade Spirit Stones, the spears three hundred, and the broadswords four hundred.” The Bamboo Demon stared blankly at

Chapter 302: Fourth-Order Bloodline Recently, news that Bear Commander had caught the eye of the Lord Red-Skinned Frog Demon had long begun circulating within Hundred Demon City. The crux of the matter was, he had inadvertently let slip this very rumor to his own subordinates. There were no secrets in Hundred Demon City. These demons

Chapter 303: The Authority of the Rat King He did not need to ponder deeply to realize the massive karmic weight involved! He had recently emerged from the Azure Spirit Mountain Range and had only just broken through to Foundation Establishment. For a Golden-Nosed White-Haired Rat to suddenly appear within his domain—and a rat demon

Chapter 304: Golden-Nosed White-Haired Rat Emboldened by his desperate gamble, Rat Number Three stepped forward. He bowed toward the throne, addressing the majestic aura of Rat King Wu Yuan with a mixture of profound reverence and naked urgency. “Lord Rat King, my daughter possessed heaven-defying talent!” “She was a second-order Nourishing Primordial Fetus Rat. Any

Chapter 305: Xiao Jin Little Yellow tilted his chubby head in utter bewilderment. Straining his stubby limbs, he fished the tiny creature off his crown, holding it right up to his beady eyes as he muttered, “Wife?” “Wife?!” Little Yellow shrieked as if his tail had been violently trampled. His paws trembled in terror, nearly

Chapter 306: Xiao Jin’s Education General Chef’s interest was instantly piqued; pulling out an array of spiritual ingredients to prepare a meal, he mused, “Although her fur is remarkably similar to the Great King’s, her bloodline aura is nothing alike.” “She must be a rat demon of some exalted bloodline that the Great King procured

Chapter 307: Meeting the Frog Demon Again However, amidst the gathering of demons, a discordant sneer suddenly shattered the atmosphere. “What is with this grand display? You merely struck lucky that Bear Commander took a fancy to you to handle menial chores!” “Before this, you were nothing but a lowly rat demon. I could easily

Chapter 308: Analyzing the Soul Transfer and Spirit Shift Formation Without waiting for the frog demon’s reply, Wu Yuan continued, “As long as you flay this layer of hide, you can effortlessly shed the Formation!” “Of course, flaying requires a profound technique; ordinary butchery will certainly lead to ruin!” “I happen to be proficient in

Chapter 309: Conspiracy Finally, witnessing Wu Yuan’s heaven-defying technique, the frog demon looked at him with profound reverence and said, “Can you truly not help me shatter this Formation?” “But spare me any more absurd demands like flaying my own hide!” “If you have any other price, simply name it!” Wu Yuan chuckled darkly, “I

Chapter 310: Second-Order Spirit Contract The spirit of the Qingyuan Blessed Land impassively scanned the realm below, viewing all creation within its domain as nothing more than fleeting clouds. Only when its gaze fell upon Wu Yuan did its ethereal features animate; like a painted scroll suddenly infused with life, a spark of profound intelligence

Chapter 311: Planning for the Living Corpse As he spoke, One Ear presented the spirit contract to Wu Yuan, saying, “Boss, the task is complete. The essence of this spirit contract is of the second tier, but due to its glaring flaws, it’s merely an empty shell. It can only be considered a pseudo-second-tier contract!”

Chapter 312: Earth Vein Spirit Accumulation and Sha Qi Formation This endeavor granted Wu Yuan a wealth of insight. He inwardly mused, “Earth vein Formations are not about conquering the natural veins, but harmonizing with them. Only by guiding the natural flow of earth Qi can one seize supreme results with minimal effort.” “Thus, the

Chapter 313: Living Zombie Wu Yuan stood to the side, gently shaking his head. The corners of his mouth ticked upward in a confident smirk as he declared with absolute certainty, “With me holding the reins, how could we possibly fail? Calm your whiskers and put your mind at ease.” His words overflowed with unshakeable

Chapter 314: The Living Zombie Gu Insect Wu Yuan suspected that the raw demon materials used to forge this Gu, or perhaps the esoteric refining methods themselves, possessed a uniquely aberrant lineage. This reminded him of the Nourishing Origin Spirit Gu that Yu Yao had anchored her soul to. That entity could house a living

Chapter 315: Cooperating with the Frog Demon Wu Yuan saw right through the Frog Demon’s facade, a dark amusement stirring in his mind. “The cornered prey is finally buckling under the pressure!” A cunning smirk curled the edges of his lips. “Sending my subordinates to sow rumors throughout Hundred Demon City was the right move.”

Chapter 316: The Toad Great Demon Toad Mountain. Within the vast expanse of Hundred Demon City, a colossal peak named Toad Mountain towered majestically. The mountain was impossibly massive. From a distance, it appeared as a heaven-piercing monolith. Yet, its silhouette was unusually rounded, lacking the jagged, unforgiving precipices of a typical summit; it merely

Chapter 317: Body Seizing The sloughing toad hide was utterly tattered and ruined, leaving only the pitch-black, pulsating warts somewhat intact. The Toad Great Demon stared down at the paralyzed frog demon, a flicker of intense emotion finally penetrating its hollow gaze. There was no sorrow, no hesitation—only the feverish ecstasy of imminent rebirth. The

Chapter 318: Bluffing Gritting its teeth, the Toad Great Demon made a swift decision. “I shall wait no longer! The gathered Spiritual Qi is more than sufficient to break through to the second order. I had intended to accumulate more to reach the mid-stage, but this will have to do.” Having cultivated to the second

Chapter 319: Teaching Xiao Jin’s pair of eyes, brimming with Spiritual Qi, gazed at the mountain-sized Toad Great Demon ahead; her tiny head seemed to be pondering some profound mystery of the Dao. She was not intimidated by the terrifying pressure of the second-order Great Demon, but instead felt that the Boss’s back standing before

Chapter 320: Red Scorpion’s Scheme Furthermore, despite the sudden, mass death of every demonic beast on Toad Mountain, not a single scout had come to investigate. Within the entirety of Hundred Demon City, only the Red Scorpion Great Demon possessed such absolute authority; the other three Great Demons simply lacked the influence to suppress the
