Chapter 181: Pity I

Killing one Tian Mo Demon Lord brought far greater benefits than cultivating and farming within the sect.

However, Fang Yu had no clear idea yet on how to break through to the 4th Stage of Divine Abilities, Yin-Yang Realm.

These days he had been continuously circulating and refining his magic power, polishing it to extreme purity, increasing his strength by hundreds of Xuan Huang Lie Ma units, yet he was still far from imbuing his magic power with spiritual awareness.

To break through this realm, it seemed he needed either a sudden enlightenment or a miraculous encounter.

Right now, Fang Yu and Long Xuan were deep within the Flesh and Mud Mire, with little time to ponder the Yin-Yang Realm.

Having gained so much in a short while, Fang Yu immediately activated the Five Hell King Cauldron and advanced toward a distant Tian Mo Demon Lord fortress.

Since we're here, let's make a big strike.

One by one, his spirit-grade flying swords were assimilated into the array of the Five Hell King Cauldron, strengthening the array's power.

As for Long Xuan, she sat cross-legged inside the Five Hell King Cauldron; during this journey, she had already gained much—such as the Life-Extending Jin Dan from the Tianjuemo Sect, the Bai Yang Dan popular throughout the Yellow Great World, and magic crystal jade. Though she received only a tiny fraction of these benefits, even that small portion was a tremendous opportunity for one at the 10th Stage of Physical Body.

If she still could not break through to the Divine Ability Secret Realm with so many opportunities, she would likely never break through in this lifetime.

She refused to believe she would remain stuck at the 10th Stage of Physical Body for so long, forever clinging to the top spot on the Shanhe List.

While Long Xuan was calmly cultivating, Fang Yu activated a teleportation array within the Five Hell King Cauldron and swiftly teleported.

The massive King Cauldron sliced through the void; some unlucky Tian Mo demons had barely begun absorbing blood qi when the Five Hell King Cauldron's aura instantly obliterated their consciousness, leaving them dead without even a trace.

"Jie jie, what is that thing?"

"It seems like a human cultivator, but not quite. He's inside a magic treasure!"

"Gaga, isn't this the territory of Lord Yinsheng Tian Mo Demon Lord? Lord Yinsheng has already reached the 3rd Stage of Divine Abilities, Daoist Gang Qi Realm. How can this human cultivator possibly survive if he charges in?"

"These Dao and Mo sect practitioners are too audacious—they dare penetrate this deep! A few days ago, several women intruded, and now more dare come? Do you think all our Tian Mo Demon Lords are useless?"

"Kill them all! Must kill them all! We Tian Mo only ever devour others—how dare anyone keep intruding again and again? Kill kill kill!"

Some surviving Tian Mo demons were blown away by the Five Hell King Cauldron's powerful air current for thousands of li; when they finally regained awareness, each was filled with furious rage, desperate to rush forward and fight.

At this moment, Fang Yu had already arrived before the next Tian Mo Demon Lord's fortress.

Again, he used the same tactic: he activated the teleportation array within the Five Hell King Cauldron, and the house-sized King Cauldron smashed through the fortress and descended.

"Who are you? Again intruding into my territory!"

Inside the ancient fortress stood a young, handsome man with a gloomy expression; the moment he saw the Five Hell King Cauldron approach, he immediately burst out of the fortress.

Without hesitation, he flew far away, his face twisted with deep gloom.

"Think you can run?"

Fang Yu's expression remained unchanged; his vast, surging magic power surged into the Great Demon God Array within the Five Hell King Cauldron. Instantly, thick black mist erupted from the King Cauldron, creaking and groaning, forming a colossal demon god centered on the cauldron.

The heart of this demon god was the Five Hell King Cauldron.

Thus one could see how immense this summoned demon god was—nearly the size of a small mountain peak.

Roar roar.

The demon god summoned by the "Great Demon God Array" let out a bellow, opening its demonic hands and slamming down with crushing force.

"What? The Five Hell King Cauldron? This is truly the Five Hell King Cauldron?"

The Tian Mo Demon Lord who had entered the 3rd Stage of Divine Abilities, upon seeing a colossal, immensely powerful demon god suddenly appear around him and unleash a terrifying strike, instantly wore an expression of utter despair and fury.

"Damn it! Even if I die, I won't let you live!"

Pop!

Without hesitation, the Tian Mo Demon Lord immediately unleashed a terrifying technique: his entire body swelled, then exploded with a thunderous boom. The immense force of his self-destruction collided with the demon god's descending hand, causing the giant hand to vanish into ash.

Even the explosion's shockwave surged forward, striking the Five Hell King Cauldron.

"Tian Mo Body Dissolution Great Art."

Fang Yu uttered six words: "Tian Mo Body Dissolution Great Art." With a thought, the demon god's power contracted, instantly forming a protective barrier before the Five Hell King Cauldron.

The force of the self-destruction slammed into it—but caused no damage whatsoever to the Five Hell King Cauldron.

Storms of energy erupted from the Five Hell King Cauldron, absorbing the residual essence left by the Tian Mo Demon Lord's explosion, turning it into blood food for other Tian Mo demons.

"Senior Brother Fang, that Tian Mo Demon Lord just self-exploded!"

Long Xuan had been cultivating inside the Five Hell King Cauldron; hearing the thunderous explosion outside, she awoke from her meditation and, through the cauldron's walls, saw the horrific scene beyond.

Tian Mo Body Dissolution Great Art.

This is the Tian Mo race's innate Divine Ability.

Any Tian Mo who reaches the Tian Mo Demon Lord realm can unleash the Tian Mo Body Dissolution Great Art—even cultivators one or two stages higher may suffer grave injuries if they encounter it.

Unless one possesses Huangquanmo Sect's Huang Quan Water—if touched, even a Tian Mo Demon Lord cannot activate the Body Dissolution technique and can only be calmly refined into an elixir.

However, Huang Quan Holy Water seems to be possessed by only one person: Fang Han.

Fang Yu is Fang Yu, not Fang Han, so he had no way to counter this Tian Mo Demon Lord's Body Dissolution technique. This is why, despite possessing ten thousand Xuan Huang Lie Ma units of magic power—stronger than this Daoist Gang Qi Realm Tian Mo—he still used a Supreme-grade magic treasure to confront him.

If he had just activated the Bi Yan Qi Xiu Mang Daoist Gang Qi, and been hit by such an explosion, he might have lost hundreds or even thousands of Xuan Huang Lie Ma units of power, and it would take a long time to recover.

But a Supreme-grade magic treasure is immune to explosions; the demon god he summoned was also immune. Even if this Tian Mo Demon Lord died in self-destruction, he suffered no significant loss—on the contrary, the residual essence from the explosion could feed other Tian Mo demons.

"Fang Han's cheat system is so satisfying."

Fang Yu thought of Fang Han again—having the Huang Quan Map was truly blissful: kill underground demons, refine their flesh into Blood Elixirs; kill Tian Mo demons, refine them into Bi Luo Da Dan.

And before Fang Han, Tian Mo Demon Lords could not self-explode—their Body Dissolution Great Art was perfectly suppressed by Huang Quan Water.

"After returning, I must get some Huang Quan Water."
