Free Web NovelChapter 600: Chapter 599: Harnessing Power for Training
At that moment, Ye Fan’s face turned pale with fright. The Stone Ghosts were terrifying. Am I really going to confront them? In truth, he was terrified.
Just then, a Stone Ghost smashed down, striking him on the head. Ye Fan felt his world spin, an extremely unpleasant sensation. Another attacked from the side, striking his back and sending him flying. He crashed harshly against a rock, shattering it completely. The Stone Ghosts were relentless, and he was now being thrashed by the entire group. He couldn’t hold on for much longer and quickly retreated.
After retreating, Ye Fan gasped for air. The Stone Ghosts transformed back into inert stone as if nothing had ever happened. Only Ye Fan knew how difficult the ordeal had been. Even now, his body had not recovered.
This was a process of tempering his body’s resistance. Only with a sturdier physique could he become stronger. This became his new focus. It was the ancient Devil Clan Body Refining Technique. Among the demons Ye Fan had encountered, many possessed powerful physical forms, all forged through this very process of tempering to create the most durable bodies.
「The next day」
Ye Fan went again. This time was slightly better. He managed to hold on for two hours before fleeing, his face bruised and swollen. However, he didn’t realize that his body was gradually becoming stronger.
On the Third Heaven, Ye Fan endured for four hours.
His endurance grew through the fourth day, and then the ninth.
「Twelve days later」
Ye Fan stood amidst the Stone Ghosts, calm and composed as they rapidly rained blows down upon him. Each strike was potentially fatal, yet he calmly withstood them without moving an inch. He was bombarded like this for an entire day. Afterward, he walked out from among the stones, just as composed as when he entered.
Undoubtedly, his body’s resistance had reached a terrifying level. He was practically invulnerable to blades and spears. Even a Divine Artifact would struggle to injure him. This was his new, inexhaustible power.
He had broken through the third trial. He knew the fourth trial was next, and if he could overcome it, he would succeed. He would have truly mastered the Devil Clan Body Refining Technique.
Ye Fan quickly stood up and began to consolidate his body’s newfound strength. The next day, he considered a daring idea. Given its inherent danger, he hesitated for a long time. But this was the final trial—a matter of life and death. If he could pass this trial, his physical body would reach a new peak, a height that cultivation realms alone could not reach.
For this purpose, he traveled to a valley on the periphery of the Outer Domain. He had initially wanted to venture into the deepest part of the Outer Domain, but Zi Xuan had once told him that ancient, forbidden existences dwelled there. So, Ye Fan decided to wait until he was strong enough before attempting that challenge.
This valley, however, was also exceedingly dangerous. It was home to a beast tide, a gathering place for all manner of Demon Beasts that had mutated within the Outer Domain. This time, he would be tempering the killing power of his physical body. He would not use his cultivation realm, only his raw physical strength. With his body as his weapon, he would dominate the world.
He arrived at the mouth of the valley and let out a great shout. A huge change immediately swept through the valley.
The beast tide was coming.
The Beast King was a massive lion, one of the many long-mutated Demon Beasts in this place. This Beast King, King Shan, was filled with the Power of Death and directed the beast tide as it charged toward Ye Fan, intent on slaughter.
Seeing this, Ye Fan did not retreat. Instead, he roared, "Kill!"
Then, he charged forward at his top speed. Amidst the horde of beasts, he fought using only his physical might. Ferocious beasts bit and slammed into him, but he did not fall. Instead, his fists moved like a scythe harvesting lives, carving a path forward, unstoppable.
「Meanwhile, on the cliffs above the valley」
A group of extravagantly dressed young people stood looking down. The man in the lead was incredibly powerful. Although he didn’t radiate any aura, his every word and action were filled with the air of a dominant king. His strength was no less than Mu Chen Dong’s. Behind him stood two other men and a beautiful woman. The beautiful woman was clearly infatuated with him, while the two men stood respectfully at his back.
At that moment, one of the men spoke. "Young Master, is that person down there trying to get himself killed? How dare he contend with a beast tide!"
The beautiful woman snapped, "No one is allowed to disturb Senior Brother while he is thinking! Kneel!"
"Yes!" The man who had spoken immediately knelt.
But the authoritative man simply raised a hand and said, "Forget it."
"Thank you, Young Master. I promise it will not happen again," the man said with great respect. His companion shot him a look of schadenfreude. If not for the authoritative man’s presence, they might have come to blows.
The authoritative man then said, "That boy below is no simple character. His cultivation realm isn’t particularly high, but his physical body is terrifying. To dominate the battle and counter the entire beast tide with just his body... it looks like he’s about to break them. A person like that is truly formidable!"
"All I know is that no matter how powerful he is, he’s no match for a single finger from Senior Brother!" the woman said, fawning over him.
The authoritative man replied, "If we’re talking about physical strength alone, I am certainly no match for him. But our Spirit Taming Sect is not known for physical prowess. If I were to face him, I have a hundred different ways to kill him!"
He was extremely confident in his own abilities. The other three looked at him with admiration. Indeed, this authoritative man was the strongest disciple of their generation in the Spirit Taming Sect. Moreover, he was the only son of the Sovereign Spirit Sect Master. The Spirit Taming Sect was a powerhouse in the Divine Domain, a dominant force in its own right. This was because the Sovereign Spirit Sect Master’s title was Main God of Spirit, making him one of the strongest Martial Artists in the entire domain.
The authoritative man continued to watch the battle below. He saw Ye Fan tearing through the beast tide, slaughtering every mutated Demon Beast that attacked him. He had no idea how many lives he had already ended. freёweɓnovel.com
Ye Fan’s gaze then fell upon the mutant Beast King. It was the lion, standing over fifteen meters tall on a massive boulder, radiating an overwhelmingly domineering aura. Most people would likely lose their will to fight just by looking at it, for the lion was a boundlessly terrifying creature.
But Ye Fan welcomed the challenge, charging straight for the mutant King Shan.
Above the canyon, the authoritative man asked, "Do you think he can kill that mutant Beast King?"
"Probably not!" the three replied in unison, shaking their heads.
But the authoritative man said, "I think he’s quite confident. Although that mutant Beast King is strong, I have a feeling he isn’t even using his full strength. He’s tempering his body."
"Tempering his body?"
The three of them inhaled sharply. To temper one’s body in such a manner... it was simply too horrifying to comprehend.
