Chapter 18: I've Been Craving Your Body for a Long Time!
The demonized crocodile-turtle had a powerful shell defense, so the only way to kill it in one blow was to strike its head.
However, the demonized crocodile-turtle was cautious, keeping its head retracted inside its shell at all times.
After a short while, Chu Feng finally seized his opportunity and drove his fist straight into the demonized crocodile-turtle's head!
Boom!
The head shattered, and the demonized crocodile-turtle died instantly!
After killing the demonized crocodile-turtle, Chu Feng didn't linger for a moment and continued pressing deeper into the area.
He hadn't gone far when he encountered a five-meter-long, multicolored serpent!
The serpent's cultivation was at the eighth level of the True Spirit Stage, even stronger than the crocodile-turtle before it.
However, the serpent lacked a powerful defense, making it far easier for Chu Feng to deal with.
With just two punches, he smashed the demonized serpent to death!
Along the way, Chu Feng kept running into demonized demonic beasts of high cultivation, but he dispatched them all with ease.
Before long, Chu Feng discovered a canyon that sloped downward.
The canyon was five meters wide, and demonic energy was surging up from below.
After slaying all the demonized demonic beasts in the vicinity, Chu Feng sat cross-legged at the canyon's entrance and began cultivating using the Chaos Art.
Two hours later, Chu Feng's cultivation advanced another minor level, reaching the sixth level of the Spirit Entry Stage!
"If I have a steady, unceasing flow of demonic energy, I can raise my cultivation rapidly!" Chu Feng's heart surged with excitement!
Now that he had found a path to rapid advancement, he could grow stronger quickly and return to the Upper Realm!
Before long, the surrounding demonic energy was fully absorbed, and Chu Feng rose to his feet again, heading down into the canyon.
The canyon was utterly silent, giving off a bone-chilling sensation!
Chu Feng walked through the canyon for a long time without encountering a single demonized demonic beast.
It was possible that there were simply no demonic beasts deeper in the canyon.
Or it was possible that a powerful demonic beast lurked below!
This canyon could be the territory of that powerful demonic beast, with all other beasts too afraid to approach.
Based on Chu Feng's experience from his previous life, the second possibility was far more likely!
He just didn't know what cultivation level the beast below had reached.
After fifteen minutes of walking, Chu Feng finally arrived at the very bottom of the canyon.
At the bottom was a massive cavern, and coiled within it was a demonized Flood Dragon a full three hundred meters long!
The demonized Flood Dragon had its eyes tightly shut, seemingly asleep — or perhaps deep in cultivation.
Behind the demonized Flood Dragon, a half-meter-long spatial rift had torn open in the void!
The spatial rift was pitch-black and unfathomably deep, its interior an endless darkness!
At that moment, demonic energy was pouring out of the spatial rift in a continuous stream!
"This is a spatial rift connected to the Heavenly Demon Domain!" Chu Feng stared at the spatial rift, his expression grave.
He hadn't expected that this low-tier realm, the Desolate Remnant Realm, would have a spatial rift connected to the Heavenly Demon Domain!
This made it clear that a great upheaval had already occurred in the human world — and in all likelihood, the Heavenly Demon Race had launched a full-scale invasion!
"I must grow stronger quickly and return to the Upper Realm!"
The Heavenly Demon Domain was vast and boundless, home to countless Heavenly Demons!
Their full-scale invasion of the human world would be an unprecedented catastrophe — a disaster of extinction for the human race!
Chu Feng had to return to the Upper Realm as fast as possible to reclaim the power of his previous life and resist the Heavenly Demon Race's invasion!
Suddenly, the demonized Flood Dragon in the cavern seemed to sense Chu Feng's presence and snapped its enormous eyes open!
The demonized Flood Dragon's eyes were green, and as they fixed on Chu Feng, they were like two massive green lamps blazing directly at him!
Roar!
The moment the demonized Flood Dragon spotted Chu Feng, it let out a furious roar, unleashed its aura, and shot toward him at terrifying speed!
"Ninth level of the Mystic Spirit Realm!" Chu Feng's expression turned grave!
As the demonized Flood Dragon released its aura, Chu Feng sensed its cultivation — ninth level of the Mystic Spirit Realm!
Chu Feng's current cultivation was only at the fifth level of the Spirit Entry Stage, two full major stages below the demonized Flood Dragon. He stood almost no chance against it!
"Demon Spirit Fruit!"
As the demonized Flood Dragon left the cavern, Chu Feng suddenly spotted something behind where it had been coiled — a Demon Spirit Fruit tree — and he cried out in excitement!
The Demon Spirit Fruit tree was entirely jet-black, with two dark leaves at its base and three large black fruits growing above — those were the Demon Spirit Fruits!
Demon Spirit Fruits were spirit fruits formed by absorbing demonic energy. Any cultivator could consume them, making them supreme spirit fruits for advancing cultivation!
Furthermore, the Demon Spirit Fruit was the primary ingredient for refining the fifth-grade pill, the Divine Origin Pill.
The Divine Origin Pill was a supreme sacred pill capable of greatly boosting cultivation and even helping one break through to a higher stage.
It was especially effective for cultivators attempting to break through to the Heavenly Spirit Realm or the King Stage!
However, Demon Spirit Fruits could only grow in places rich in demonic energy, and the Divine Origin Pill was beyond the ability of ordinary alchemists to refine.
As a result, the Divine Origin Pill had become a supreme sacred pill that was nearly impossible to come by!
Chu Feng hadn't expected that a Demon Spirit Fruit tree would grow here — and that it had already borne fruit!
At that moment, the demonized Flood Dragon closed in on Chu Feng like a thunderbolt, opening its massive jaws to swallow him whole.
Chu Feng activated the Phantom Shadow Step, darting swiftly to the side and narrowly dodging the Flood Dragon's attack.
Seeing that this insignificant ant had actually evaded its strike, the demonized Flood Dragon let out another furious roar and swept its long tail at Chu Feng in a wide horizontal slash!
Chu Feng leaped lightly and dodged the demonized Flood Dragon's attack once more!
Boom!
The demonized Flood Dragon's tail slammed hard into the stone wall beside him, sending a massive shower of rock crashing down!
Chu Feng slowly retreated, drawing the demonized Flood Dragon away from the cavern!
In the meantime, Chu Feng landed several punches on the demonized Flood Dragon.
However, the demonized Flood Dragon's defenses were too formidable, and Chu Feng's attacks barely dealt any damage to it.
Before long, Chu Feng had lured the Flood Dragon a considerable distance from the cavern.
Chu Feng was just thinking about turning back to retrieve the Demon Spirit Fruits from the cavern.
Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out from behind him!
"Chu Feng, what are you doing here? Is that a Flood Dragon?"
After dodging the demonized Flood Dragon's attack, Chu Feng turned to look.
He saw Yun Qingying standing in the distance, staring in astonishment at his battle with the demonized Flood Dragon.
"Why did you follow me here? Get lost!"
Chu Feng had intended to turn back and pick the Demon Spirit Fruits, but if he left now, the demonized Flood Dragon might attack Yun Qingying.
So he furiously berated her, telling her to get away.
"You jerk! I was going to help you fight this Flood Dragon, and you're telling me to get lost!"
Yun Qingying glared at Chu Feng in fury. From childhood to now, no one had ever told her to get lost.
She hadn't expected that when she came out of kindness to help Chu Feng, he would tell her to get lost!
For a moment, Yun Qingying was so furious she wanted to grab her sword and stab a few holes in him!
"Get lost, now!"
A short while later, seeing that Yun Qingying was still standing nearby, Chu Feng roared at her again.
"Who do you think you are? Just because you tell me to get lost, I have to get lost?"
"Hmph! I refuse! I'm going to stay right here and watch you get torn apart by this Flood Dragon!" Yun Qingying snapped furiously.
"I'm telling you, this Flood Dragon has a lustful nature, and even the breath it exhales carries a lust toxin!"
"I'm worried that if you get hit by its lust toxin, you'll need me to sacrifice my virgin body to save you!" Chu Feng suddenly flashed a wicked grin.
"Stop trying to scare me. Yes, Flood Dragons are lustful by nature, but there's no way its breath carries a lust toxin!"
Yun Qingying had heard that Flood Dragons were lustful, but she had never heard of one whose breath carried a lust toxin, and she immediately disbelieved Chu Feng's claim.
"But this is a demonized Flood Dragon — it's mutated!"
"I've warned you in advance. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do!"
"Besides, I've been craving your body for a long time. If you end up hit by the lust toxin later, I'll reluctantly help you detoxify!"
Seeing that Yun Qingying still refused to leave, Chu Feng flashed another wicked grin and threatened her again.
"You jerk! You pervert!" Yun Qingying erupted in a torrent of curses upon hearing Chu Feng's words.
But she seemed to have been frightened after all, and quickly retreated into the distance.
