After some understanding, Fang Chen could finally confirm that the python in front of him had already recognized him as its master.
"Why would it recognize me as its master? Could it be that I can avoid the Lightning Tribulation by doing so?" Fang Chen was puzzled. Logically speaking, the python should hate him for interrupting its molting process.
Actually, Fang Chen was half right. When the python stopped molting, it knew that it couldn't withstand the Lightning Tribulation. Hence, it made the final decision to transform into a sword.
This was the sword range, and the python was born from the sword range. Hence, at the critical moment, its tail could transform into a sword.
However, the moment it transformed into a sword, it would be sealed within the sword. Furthermore, it would have to recognize its master in order to withstand the Lightning Tribulation.
The python had no choice but to recognize Fang Chen as its master and transform into a demon sword.
Hua La
After the Lightning Tribulation dissipated, the demon sword instantly appeared in Fang Chen's hands. However, the moment Fang Chen grasped the demon sword, he instantly felt a boundless killing intent.
"Seems like it still hates me." Fang Chen said softly.
Although the python had temporarily preserved its life by transforming into a sword, it would still have to spend the rest of its life within the demon sword.
Unless its master was extremely powerful and could help it find some heavenly treasures that would allow it to successfully escape from the demon sword.
The python had only recognized Fang Chen as its master because of the situation. Hence, when Fang Chen touched the demon sword, the python transmitted a wave of hatred to him.
Fang Chen looked at the demon sword and grinned. No matter what, this demon sword was extraordinary. Now that it had recognized him as its master, there was no need to worry that it would attack him.
Hua La
Fang Chen kept the demon sword into his interspatial ring. This demon sword was too strange. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Fang Chen wasn't willing to use it.
Fang Chen clearly knew that there was a huge demonic beast sealed within the demon sword. Furthermore, it was a demonic beast that was about to evolve.
Fang Chen prepared to leave after the crisis. However, at this moment, Fang Chen discovered that there was a pitch black egg at the place where the python had resisted the Lightning Tribulation.
"What the hell is this?"
Fang Chen was puzzled. He stared deeply at the egg. After a long time, Fang Chen burst out laughing.
This was not an egg, but a demonic pill left behind by a python after it shed its skin.
In the world of Demonic Beasts, only the most powerful Demonic Beasts could leave behind a Demonic Core during their metamorphosis. The black Demonic Core in front of him was obviously left behind by the python.
"It's actually a Yao core."
Fang Chen walked over and picked up the Yao Core, his face full of excitement.
Although the Monster Core was the Monster Core of a Monster Beast, it was still very important to a human warrior. If one could swallow a powerful Monster Core, it would be equivalent to several years of human cultivation.
Fang Chen clenched the Yao Core in excitement.
At any rate, this place has just undergone the baptism of Lightning Tribulation. I'll just consume the yao core here, Fang Chen thought.
At this moment, in Fang Chen's spatial ring, the Demon Sword was struggling non-stop. It did not want to let Fang Chen consume the Demonic Core it left behind. However, it was of no use. Fang Chen did not even care about it.
Fang Chen sat down cross-legged, his body emitting a strong sword intent. He closed his eyes and placed the Demonic Core into his mouth.
After the Demonic Core entered his mouth, Fang Chen felt a burning energy. This energy was so strong that it made Fang Chen feel incredulous.
"What a powerful Demonic Core."
Fang Chen was shocked. If he could absorb all the energy in the Demonic Core, he could even break through to the fourth level of the Qi Hai realm.
"Absorb."
After Fang Chen made his decision, he activated his Qi Hai and wildly absorbed all the energy in the Demonic Core. Although the Demonic Core contained some remnants of the python's will, it was unable to resist Fang Chen's absorption.
Hiss Hiss Hiss
Time passed bit by bit. Maybe it was because Fang Chen was the owner of the Demon Sword, but the process of him absorbing the Demonic Core was very smooth. There was not even the slightest bottleneck.
Just like this, Fang Chen absorbed the Demonic Core for a total of six hours. Finally, he finished absorbing the Demonic Core.
When the energy in the Demonic Core was completely absorbed by Fang Chen, the Qi Hai in Fang Chen's Dantian started to rumble.
"The Qi Hai is expanding."
Seeing this, Fang Chen's face revealed a trace of a smile.
The expansion of the Qi Hai meant that his cultivation level was breaking through.
In the blink of an eye, the Qi Hai had finished expanding. His cultivation level had also stepped into the fourth level of the Qi Hai realm.
"Fourth level of the Qi Hai realm."
Fang Chen was very happy. He did not expect that while he was chasing after Luo Xuan, he would receive such an opportunity. Absorbing a Demonic Core allowed him to break through the bottleneck and reach the fourth level of the Qi Hai realm.
After making a breakthrough in his cultivation, Fang Chen turned around and left the mountain.
Jin Guan Country, in the extreme north. It was one of the five major regions of the Jin Guan Country. In an extremely cold place, there was a floating palace.
This palace was called the Floating Palace.
Originally, this Floating Palace was not famous at all. But when the owner of this Floating Palace became Luo He, it finally became famous in the entire north.
This Floating Palace was the place where Alchemy Master Luo He lived. When Luo Xuan was still in the north, he also cultivated in this Floating Palace.
In a large hall of the Floating Palace, a white-haired old man with a face full of kindness was drinking a cup of tea.
"I wonder how Xuan 'er is doing in the central region." The white-haired old man said with a smile.
The white-haired old man was the famous Alchemy Master Luo He in the north. In fact, he was not worried about Luo Xuan at all. Because of him, in the central region, most people would give him face.
Moreover, he had given his disciple a talisman. This talisman was used to save his disciple's life. If he crushed it at a critical moment, he would be able to escape successfully.
Moreover, not long ago, Luo He had received news that his disciple had entered the Sword State City, one of the nine great cities in the central region. He had successfully joined the Luo Clan's branch.
This made Luo He even more relieved. This time, he had let Luo Xuan go to the central region to let him train.
However, before Luo He finished speaking, his face suddenly changed. Immediately, he took out a jade pendant from his bosom.
There were some cracks on the jade pendant. Seeing this scene, Luo He's face turned completely gloomy.
This jade pendant was his disciple Luo He's Life Slip. Luo Xuan's Spiritual Imprint had been injected into the jade pendant. Once the Life Slip shattered, Luo Xuan would die.
At this moment, the cracks on the Life Slip meant that Luo Xuan had suffered a great injury.
"Xuan 'er."
Luo He looked at the cracked Life Slip and was extremely anxious. His gaze was fixed on the Life Slip as he kept shouting in his heart for Luo Xuan to use the talisman.
In the blink of an eye, the Life Slip in Luo He's hand shattered and the fragments fell to the ground.
Then, a piece of news entered Luo He's ears.
"Master, the person who killed me is the Sword Reverence Sect's Fang Chen."
This was the news that Luo Xuan had sent back before he died.
When he heard this news, Luo He seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. His head full of white hair was extremely dazzling.
After a long while, a sinister smile appeared on Luo He's face.
"Looks like I haven't been to the central region for a long time. People have already forgotten about me," Luo He said softly. However, his words were filled with anger.
This time, he was going to avenge his disciple.
Luo Xuan was his only direct disciple. This martialist called Fang Chen actually dared to kill his disciple. He deserved to die.
Of course, Fang Chen was completely unaware that his actions had already incurred Luo He's wrath. Luo He was currently rushing over to the central region.
After Fang Chen left the mountain peak, he walked out of the dense forest.
The current Fang Chen was at the fourth level of the Qi Hai Realm. With his strength, he could easily defeat a warrior at the sixth level of the Qi Hai Realm. He could even challenge a warrior at the peak of the sixth level of the Qi Hai Realm.
In other words, within the Sword Range, there was no one who could threaten Fang Chen's life.
"I wonder where the people of the Sword Reverence Sect are."
After walking out of the dense forest, Fang Chen's face was filled with helplessness. In order to chase after Luo Xuan, Fang Chen had traveled a long distance. Now, he couldn't find the way back.
Since he couldn't find the disciples of the Sword Reverence Sect, he would first go to other places and see if there were any opportunities that belonged to him.
After Fang Chen determined a direction, he quickly moved forward.
At this moment, on a small plain not far from Fang Chen, there was a group of people surrounding a young martialist. If Fang Chen was here, he would definitely recognize that the martialist being surrounded was Wen Yu, who had followed him from the west to the Sword State City.
"Kid, hand over the treasure you just obtained and I can spare your life."
This group of martialists were from a small Sect in the Sword State City. The leader of the group was the chief disciple of their Sect. He was at the sixth level of the Qi Hai Realm.
Wen Yu's strength was not comparable to the chief disciple's, so he was forced to retreat.
Bang
After a loud sound, Wen Yu was sent flying by the chief disciple.
"Hmph, why should I give you what I obtained?" Wen Yu said coldly.
He knew that even if he obediently handed over the treasure, they wouldn't let him go. Thus, he chose not to hand it over. This way, they wouldn't dare to kill him.
"Do you want to die?"
Han Meng's face slightly changed as he said coldly.
As the chief disciple of the Meng Yun Sect, although Han Meng's cultivation was nothing in the younger generation of the Sword State City, it was more than enough to deal with Wen Yu.
He had entered the inner area of the Sword Range and was leading the disciples of the Sect to look for opportunities. Suddenly, he found Wen Yu, and at that time, Wen Yu had just obtained the treasure.
After he found out, he forced Wen Yu to hand over the treasure.
"I'm going to die anyway." Wen Yu said as he faced death calmly.
"Then I'll grant you your wish."
Han Meng said in a low voice. He clenched his fist and punched towards Wen Yu.
Bang
Wen Yu's body was instantly sent flying. He spat out blood and his face was pale.
Seeing this, Han Meng walked towards Wen Yu step by step. When he appeared in front of Wen Yu, he raised his fist. If this punch landed, Wen Yu would definitely die.
Wen Yu closed his eyes in pain, waiting for death to come.
Bang
