Snakes filled the area around him, above and below. Countless snakes coiled around his body, strangling and biting him. If not for the hair armor covering his body, these snakes would have long since burrowed into his stomach.
Fang Yuan laughed heartily. Instead of fear, he felt joy!
He extended eight giant hands and clenched them tightly, instantly crushing dozens of snakes. Dozens of strands of True Meaning rushed into his mind.
His consciousness blurred for a moment before recovering.
As he gradually adapted and his mastery deepened, his speed of absorbing True Meaning increased.
At the height of the slaughter, he even dismissed his hair armor, opened his mouth wide, and inhaled fiercely. Instantly, countless snakes slid into his mouth.
He chewed, his sharp fangs crushing the snake bodies. He swallowed ravenously. As the pieces entered his esophagus, they vanished into nothingness.
Stream after stream of True Meaning continuously filled his heart.
The True Meaning of Strength, the True Meaning of Transformation, each strand rapidly improved. As they improved, they also indirectly and seamlessly brought Fang Yuan understanding of other fields. For example, the art of flight.
After Fang Yuan killed the third Giant Shield Snake, his Strength path attainment finally broke through from Quasi-Grandmaster to Grandmaster.
Strength Grandmaster!
In other words, given a bit more time, he could reach the achievements of his past life's Blood path! Because his Blood path attainment was already at the Grandmaster level.
Right now. His mind was flooded with countless thoughts and inspirations. His understanding of Strength path ascended to a completely new level. He could create many new Strength path Gu Insects, and many Mortal Killer Moves related to Strength path.
But Fang Yuan was not satisfied. The slaughter continued.
It was useless when the Earth Calamity turned into a Frozenfall Divine Ape. It was useless when it turned into an Ancient Sky Horse. It was useless when it turned into a group of Shield Snakes. Finally, it changed again, transforming into a group of Stone Men.
Fang Yuan commanded his army to slaughter the Stone Men. He stomped their heads, devoured their bodies, and comprehended the power of sturdiness.
The Earth Calamity changed again into a swarm of bees. Fang Yuan continuously self-destructed his Strength Phantoms to comprehend the power of finesse.
The Earth Calamity changed into a rhinoceros. Fang Yuan killed it and comprehended the power of impact.
His Strength path attainment rose slowly. After stabilizing at the Grandmaster level, it began sprinting towards the Quasi-Grandmaster level.
Just then, two rainbow lights, one black and one white, tore through the sky and descended here.
"Finally found you!"
"So you really were on the ice field."
The rainbow lights dissipated, revealing Hei Cheng and Xue Songzi.
The powerful enemy had finally arrived!
"So many Strength Phantoms... what's going on?" Xue Songzi's pupils first contracted, then burst with burning light. "Huh? This is... looks like the rumors are true. When tribulation crosses on the North Ice Fields, it really can attract the True Meaning of the Mad Demon Venerable!"
Hei Cheng's pair of dark pupils quietly scanned the battlefield. Soon after, they stopped on the three-colored Qi cocoon.
After such a long time, Hei Lou Lan still hadn't completely absorbed the three Qi. Her Human Qi was truly too much!
"Hehehe, Hei Lou Lan, there's no escape this time. Just give up obediently." Hei Cheng laughed loudly, extended his right hand, and opened his palm, revealing an Immortal Gu.
The Immortal Gu bloomed with a deep blue radiance. It was a Rank Six Time Path Immortal Gu.
The Immortal Gu's aura surged, causing the two Time Path Immortal Gu inside Tai Bai Yun Sheng's body to vibrate simultaneously.
Fairy Li Shan's expression changed. She revealed herself and stood in front of Hei Lou Lan. Her voice was icy: "Moment Unstoppable?"
This was exactly the Rank Six Time Path Immortal Gu, Moment Unstoppable. It could stop the target's time for six moments. With this Gu in hand, Hei Cheng no longer had to worry about Fang Yuan using Fixed Immortal Travel to escape.
Upon seeing Fairy Li Shan, Hei Cheng's gaze slightly condensed. He said meaningfully, "I never imagined the real mastermind would be you, Fairy Li Shan? What is your purpose in driving a wedge between father and daughter? Ah, I see. What Gu Immortal wouldn't covet the Yin-Yang Life Extension Method in my hands?"
Towards the end, Hei Cheng chuckled, his laughter laced with mockery for Fairy Li Shan and abundant confidence in himself.
Fairy Li Shan's face was solemn. Her voice grew louder and louder, gradually resounding through heaven and earth: "Hei Cheng, today you are destined to fail. You will not lay a single finger on Xiao Lan. Because the one stopping you is me!"
As she spoke, Fairy Li Shan stopped hiding, unleashing the surging aura of a Rank Seven Gu Immortal.
At the same time, the ice surface shook and shattered. Countless tree roots grew rapidly, looking like giant pythons coiling around each other and slithering.
The trees grew quickly, soon becoming lush and green. After a few breaths, they were covered in pear blossoms. The pear blossoms were like snow, and the fragrance of the flowers was intoxicating, spreading for several miles.
Fairy Li Shan stood beneath the tree, her figure covered by the dense branches and leaves, completely hidden from sight.
Meanwhile, Hei Lou Lan was still harmonizing the three Qi, hovering above the pear tree.
