Chapter 202: Chapter 202: Explosive Spirit Pill, Heavenly Moon Strike (Happy New Year)
Underground stone chamber.
Ye Feng was wreaking havoc.
Boom!
The formations around were all destroyed, except for the indestructible body of the Giant Earth Ape, the Demon King.
“What should I do?”
Ye Feng paced back and forth anxiously, his gaze shifting uncertainly until it finally landed on the Wind Spirit Pearl.
“Although the Wind Element Spirit Energy is very important, I must make use of it.”
Having said that, a wisp of Wind Element Spirit Energy transformed into a sharp sword light, successfully carving a huge gash in the body of the Giant Earth Ape.
But, the task progress did not increase.
“So destroying the carcass of the Giant Earth Ape is not the final task, this is bad,” Ye Feng looked at the remaining two wisps of Wind Element Spirit Energy, his brow furrowed.
It would take six hours to replenish the Wind Element Spirit Energy, which meant it would recover one wisp every two hours. In other words, he had to use it sparingly from now on.
Once he ran out of Wind Element Spirit Energy, Ye Feng’s current strength would only be enough to contend with a peak of the sixth layer or someone who had just entered the seventh layer of the Element Gathering Realm.
Ye Feng tried to collect the carcass of the Giant Earth Ape into his System Space, but found that he couldn’t, because the object had been refined by the Fox Clan Demon King and did not belong to no one.
“Forget it, the best plan is to escape.”
Ye Feng slickly retreated along the original path.
But after only a few steps, he abruptly sensed dozens of terrifying auras outside the door, among which was one slightly weaker aura.
“It’s actually several dozen Demon Generals, I’m done for!” Ye Feng’s expression turned to one of horror.
Yet, upon closer inspection, he discovered that the strongest among them was not the Demon King but a High-Rank Demon General, whose strength was probably between the eighth and ninth layers of the Element Gathering Realm.
“Damn it!” The Fox Clan Demon King stood at the gate, looking at the mess in the stone chamber and then at the shocking wound on the body of the Giant Earth Ape, his heart bleeding.
“So you are the cunning human undercover agent, I will not spare you!” roared the Fox Clan Demon King with blood-red eyes, wanting to tear Ye Feng to pieces.
“Are you the Fox Clan Demon King?” Ye Feng stared at the young man dressed in white robes, tall and sturdy with white hair and a handsome face, filled with surprise.
[Ding, task progress 98%]
There was another prompt from the System.
The next moment, Ye Feng’s mood brightened.
“I understand now, you claim to be the Fox Clan Demon King, but in reality, you are just a High-Rank Demon General. By controlling the Giant Earth Ape, you are able to wield the power of the Demon King. The main force of the Demon City, besides you two, consists of these several dozen Demon Generals.”
“And these are the foundation of your Demon City!”
Ye Feng suddenly burst into laughter.
[Ding, task progress 100%]
“Congratulations Sect Leader on completing the task ‘Delve into Demon City to Scout the Enemy,’ rewarded with 1 Middle Grade Refinement Furnace and 1 Explosive Spirit Pill.” The System carried out the task settlement.
Ye Feng found that two items promptly appeared in his System Space.
A furnace similar to a Refining Furnace.
A pale gold Elixir.
“Damn it, you dare to sabotage the great plan of the Demon City, I will kill you first!” The Fox Clan Demon King raged, slapping his hand towards Ye Feng.
“Whoever dares to move, I will kill her first!” Ye Feng suddenly used his Heroic Spirit Power to grab the Fox Clan Princess, one hand clutching her throat.
“Father, save me!” exclaimed the Fox Clan Princess in terror.
The hands of the other Demon Generals, just raised, suddenly froze mid-air, none daring to act.
Seeing this, Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the Fox Clan Princess had followed him, and he had taken her as a hostage, which should allow him to escape unscathed.
But Ye Feng’s thoughts were too optimistic.
Pfft!
A beam of light pierced through the Fox Clan Princess’s forehead, and then she collapsed weakly to the ground, dead on the spot.
“To kill even your own daughter, you’re ruthless!” Ye Feng was dumbfounded.
Not just him, the expressions of the other Demon Generals changed drastically, all looking at the Fox Clan Demon King as if questioning why he would do such a thing.
“There’s no need to worry, gentlemen. The Fox Clan Princess that was killed is nothing but a bastard born of that whore and another Demon Fox. I previously allowed her to become a princess as a provisional measure. Now that it has come to this, killing her is no big deal,” explained the Fox Clan Demon King calmly.
All present had strange expressions on their faces.
Ye Feng looked at the Fox Clan Demon King as if he could see his white hair turning green, and not just any green, but a screaming shade of it!
“Now, let’s deal with this human first,” the Fox Clan Demon King focused on Ye Feng. In his view, someone who could leave a wound on the Giant Earth Ape was undoubtedly strong. Although he talked big, he was very cautious at heart.
The rest of the Demon Generals also looked serious.
Both parties faced off, neither launching an attack.
“What to do, it seems I am not his match?” Ye Feng asked himself. Besides the two wisps of Wind Element Spirit Energy, he didn’t seem to have any strength to confront the Fox Clan Demon King. If it were only those several dozen Demon Generals, he might still have a chance to escape.
But with the addition of the Fox Clan Demon King, he feared he wouldn’t even have a chance to flee.
“Lord Demon King, this human seems to lack any cultivation. Could he be a top-tier human from the Spirit Sea Realm?” one Middle-Rank Demon General asked in a deep voice.
“That’s impossible,” the Fox Clan Demon King shook his head.
After a moment’s thought, the Middle-Rank Demon General said, “This human mustn’t be from the Spirit Sea Realm, otherwise, we would all have been killed by now. I think he must be a peak ninth-layer Element Gathering Realm expert who has concealed his cultivation.”
“Heh, what if he is at the peak of the Element Gathering Realm? We, the several dozen Demon Generals, can still eliminate him… It’s just that if he were to strike, we would suffer heavy losses,” another Middle-Rank Demon General spoke up.
Ye Feng stared at these individuals, outwardly calm but inwardly panicking.
It seemed that these Demon Generals regarded him as a peak Element Gathering Realm expert, which is why they were hesitant to make a move for now.
“Right, let’s see what the Explosive Spirit Pill is about…” Ye Feng opened his System Space and looked at the information for the Explosive Spirit Pill.
[Explosive Spirit Pill: Lower Grade Elixir]
[Effect: Upon consumption, it will grant explosive strength, allowing you to become stronger for five minutes, capable of penetrating the earth’s surface and sweeping thousands of enemies]
“It’s actually an Elixir!”
Ye Feng’s gaze suddenly turned sharp.
Qi Pill, Origin Pill, Spirit Pill…
As the third major realm’s elixir, the Spirit Pill corresponds to the Spirit Sea Realm, an extremely formidable elixir. Despite the fact that the Explosive Spirit Pill is just an auxiliary Spirit Pill, it could resolve the urgent crisis Ye Feng was facing.
As Ye Feng’s gaze became intense, the Demon Race powerhouses present all changed color, thinking he was finally making his move, and they all burst out with a terrifying momentum.
“Ganging up on the few, shameless!”
Ye Feng cursed loudly and hurriedly swallowed the Explosive Spirit Pill. At the same time, taking advantage of the brief moment before the elixir’s effects dissipated, he quickly retreated, consuming a wisp of Wind Element Spirit Energy and transforming into a terrifying burst of blinding Sword Qi that he slashed through.
Rip!
Several Demon Generals were killed on the spot.
Even the Fox Clan Demon King had a lock of long hair sliced off.
“Damn it!” The Fox Clan Demon King lightly caressed his cheek, looking at the blood on his fingers in shock.
If he hadn’t dodged just in time, he would have probably been killed on the spot.
Seizing this opportunity, the Explosive Spirit Pill finally took effect!
Qi Refinement third layer, Qi Refinement ninth layer, Element Gathering third layer…
In the eyes of the Fox Clan Demon King and the others, who were shocked, Ye Feng’s body ignited with blazing golden flames, and his cultivation aura soared in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Feng reached the peak of the Element Gathering Realm!
“Such tremendous power…” Ye Feng felt the powerful aura coursing through his body, for the first time aided by Spiritual Energy, achieving the cultivation of a Qi Refinement practitioner.
The Fox Clan Demon King and the others stared at Ye Feng, their pupils shrinking abruptly.
“Indeed, he has reached the peak of the Element Gathering Realm!”
“This general was not wrong.”
The remaining Demon Generals wore extremely solemn expressions.
“Backstab!” In the midst of the Demon Generals’ shock, Ye Feng suddenly appeared behind a Middle Rank Demon General, stabbing him with a Lower Grade Spirit Sword.
Rip!
This Middle Rank Demon General was killed on the spot.
Seeing this, the rest of the Demon Generals were all chilled to the bone.
“Counterattack quickly!” The Fox Clan Demon King roared furiously, his body swelling as he transformed into his six-meter tall Demon Fox form, spitting out a fierce burst of Sword Qi.
“Wind Spirit Step!” Ye Feng didn’t try to withstand the attack. Instead, he used a spell to dodge, and the corridor behind him was pierced through by the Sword Qi of the Fox Clan Demon King.
The next moment, Ye Feng took the opportunity to escape into it.
“Chase him!”
The Fox Clan Demon King took the lead in pursuit, and the other Demon Generals hurried to follow, but soon, they found that Ye Feng’s aura had disappeared, as if blending into the soil.
Deep underground.
Ye Feng used “Earth Escape” to make a detour, breaking through an underground chamber, returning to the side of the Giant Earth Ape. With his hands forming a seal, he executed “Falling Blooms in Profusion”, transforming countless petals into a sharp long knife that suddenly slashed down.
Clang!
The sound of metal striking rang out as the Giant Earth Ape’s head was chopped off, finally allowing it to be collected into the System Space.
“Again!” Ye Feng formed another seal, executed “Falling Blooms in Profusion” again, chopping off one of the Giant Earth Ape’s arms and swiftly collecting it into the System Space.
“How audacious!”
The Fox Clan Demon King, fooled by Ye Feng’s ruse to lure the tiger away from the mountain, cursed loudly and led dozens of Demon Generals rushing back.
Seeing the Giant Earth Ape with its head and an arm severed, the Fox Clan Demon King was so furious that his face turned ashen. He spat out a mouthful of blood, which fortuitously landed on the body of the Giant Earth Ape.
Boom!
The Giant Earth Ape was revived!
The ground shook violently as a terrifying momentum erupted from the Giant Earth Ape. Its remaining arm clenched into a fist as if gripping a mountain and hurled it towards Ye Feng.
“Iron Shield Art!”
“Mystic Shell Shield!”
Ye Feng instantly used these two defensive spells, but he was still punched through by the Giant Earth Ape, his chest caved in and he suffered serious injuries.
If not for the shield provided by the Wind Spirit Pearl that blocked another blow, Ye Feng would have certainly perished!
“I will remember the grudge of today.”
Ye Feng hurriedly broke through the stone wall and escaped using “Earth Escape”.
The Explosive Spirit Pill could only hold its rampant energy for five minutes, and after that, he would have no chance to resist. Now that he had accomplished the side mission and severed the Giant Earth Ape’s head and arm, reaping a huge profit, it was time to run.
Before long.
Ye Feng arrived at the surface.
By now it was evening, and the sounds of bestial roars were unceasing all around.
“Ding, there are thirty seconds left until the Explosive Spirit Pill’s effects wear off.” The System notified.
Hearing this, Ye Feng immediately soared into the sky, reaching an altitude of several thousand meters, and as he looked down at the vast Demon City below, reflected by countless lights, his gaze turned exceedingly cold. He began to form seals with his hands.
“Heavenly Moon Strike!”
As Ye Feng pointed towards the sky tens of thousands of meters above, countless Demon Race individuals looked up only to see a second bright, full moon appear, and numerous hefty meteorites plummeting at high speed, covering the entire Demon City.
Each meteorite weighed ten thousand pounds, accelerating as it fell from the sky, with terrifying force.
Boom boom boom!
Countless dome-shaped buildings were smashed, a large number of Demon Race powerhouses were wiped out, and suddenly, streams of dark qi rose from the ground, entering Ye Feng’s body.
Since it was night, Ye Feng did not notice this.
“Argh, this infuriates me too!” The Fox Clan Demon King finally caught up to the ground and saw the Demon City ravaged by meteor strikes and suffered heavy casualties among the Demon Race Army, and he was so enraged that he vomited blood and collapsed on the spot.
“Ding, five seconds remain until the Explosive Spirit Pill’s effects wear off.”
“Five, four…”
Ye Feng’s heart tightened, and he immediately used “Streaming Light Sword Qi”, stepping onto a Spirit Sword to fly away at the fastest speed, disappearing into the vast night.
