Chapter 473

Just left the city, and now entered it again.

Fang Yu and Fang Han, along with Star Cloud Baby, had just subdued Gui Di, a monstrous demon sect leader of the 10th Stage of Divine Abilities, outside the city, and now re-entered the city to refine Gui Di.

All of them entered the Huang Quan Map.

The Huang Quan Map can suppress Gui Di's Heavenly-Physical Form, which is why they must refine Gui Di's Heavenly-Physical Form inside it.

Otherwise, Fang Yu could have simply summoned the Li Huo Divine Furnace.

"We actually managed to subdue a terrifying being of the 10th Stage of Divine Abilities."

Star Cloud Baby was not sleeping either, directly watching the Heavenly-Physical Form amid the roaring demonic qi not far away.

That Heavenly-Physical Form had three heads and six arms, wielding a skull staff, a slaughter knife, and other vicious magic treasures—it was Gui Di's Nine Ghost Primordial Spirit.

He felt the terrifying power of the Nine Ghost Primordial Spirit; alone, he believed even with a low-grade Dao treasure protecting him, Gui Di would instantly devour him.

A 4th Stage of Divine Abilities confronting a 10th Stage of Divine Abilities was simply incomparable.

"I must also cultivate to the 5th Stage of Divine Abilities, the Heavenly Man Realm."

Star Cloud Baby clenched his chubby little fists, pondering inwardly.

"Brother Yu, let's join forces and completely refine Gui Di's Nine Ghost Primordial Spirit."

Fang Han spoke up at this moment.

He and Yan worked together to manipulate A Ni demonic qi, aiming to completely refine Gui Di's Nine Ghost Primordial Spirit.

"Gui Di is a hundred-legged insect—dead but not yet stiff—but he cannot escape my sight."

Fang Yu's gaze fixed on the Nine Ghost Primordial Spirit; he pointed a finger, and a Void Divine Thunder and a Slaughter Divine Thunder shot forth.

The Great Cutting Art and the Great Slaughter Art unleashed their power simultaneously, surging into a minuscule point within Gui Di's Nine Ghost Primordial Spirit—immediately, a voice of fury and despair echoed from there.

"No!"

This was utter despair.

Despair with no chance whatsoever.

Originally, Gui Di had been subdued, his Nine Ghost Primordial Spirit captured and sealed within the Huang Quan Map—he seemed already dead, but in truth, he had hidden all his spiritual intent in a single place, so even A Ni demonic qi could not immediately refine him; thus, he lay deeply dormant, waiting for a chance to turn the tide.

But now, with Fang Yu's strike—purest cutting and slaughter—he destroyed Gui Di's final spiritual thought; Gui Di was truly, irrevocably dead, vanished forever.

"Gui Di… really died like this…"

Fang Han was not the least surprised by the possibility that Gui Di still had a trick up his sleeve; after all, Gui Di was an ancient demon who had lived for thousands of years, and possessing some survival or reversal techniques was normal—he would certainly guard against it if he intended to refine him.

But now, with Brother Yu's strike, Gui Di was utterly annihilated.

Gui Di was a contemporary of Exalted Linglong, though vastly inferior—one was the Supreme Zhang Sect of the Xiandaozhang Sect, holding exalted status and boundless magic power; the other was dead, his Dao extinguished, his decades of cultivation's Heavenly-Physical Form turned into someone else's spoils.

Now, Gui Di's Nine Ghost Primordial Spirit was utterly extinguished, leaving only pure magic power and various great arrays.

The group turned their attention to Gui Di's cultivated Divine Abilities.

"Twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty-one… thirty-four! Gui Di's Nine Ghost Primordial Spirit contained thirty-four Divine Abilities!"

Star Cloud Baby counted the Divine Abilities Gui Di had cultivated—thirty-four in total!

Though nowhere near Brother Fang Yu's ninety-nine Divine Abilities, thirty-four Divine Abilities at the 10th Stage of Divine Abilities still made him a top-tier cultivator.

Star Cloud Baby looked at himself—he had not even reached the 5th Stage of Divine Abilities, the Heavenly Man Realm, and possessed only one Supreme Divine Ability.

"If I refine these thirty-four Divine Abilities, won't my total Divine Abilities reach over eighty?"

Fang Han, gazing at the Nine Ghost Primordial Spirit containing thirty-four Divine Abilities, felt an involuntary surge of joy.

"Don't get too excited yet. When Huang Quan Emperor cultivated, his ninety-nine Divine Abilities were all Supreme-grade, and they formed a single, interdependent set—the Great Reincarnation Art—pure and immensely powerful. Your Divine Abilities now? Wind, fire, blessing arts, illusion arts—chaotic and disorganized. If you add Gui Di's thirty-four, your foundation will be utterly unstable; unless you use the Five Emperors Demon Art to suppress them, you'll likely suffer qi deviation!"

Yan poured cold water on him at this moment, "When you reach the Longevity Secret Realm, you must re-cultivate your Divine Abilities—seal the unnecessary ones into magic treasures, like your Brother Fang Yu."

Yan sensed Fang Han was getting arrogant and spoke urgently, even using Fang Yu as an example.

After obtaining the Jin Dan of Zhu Xian the Thief, Fang Yu sealed all the Divine Abilities Zhu Xian had cultivated into his low-grade Dao treasure—this was perfectly reasonable.

"I know this well. When I reach the Longevity Secret Realm, I'll naturally re-cultivate my Divine Abilities. But now I'm still in the initial stage of accumulating them—I can't refine them yet; each Divine Ability has its own power and function, and cultivating them ensures survival."

Fang Han spoke, sounding perfectly clear and aware.

Cultivating Divine Abilities doesn't require refinement from the start—you can first accumulate them crudely, then re-cultivate and polish them after reaching a higher realm.

The Longevity Secret Realm also has ten stages, each containing heavenly laws; simply plundering won't suffice—you must personally comprehend them.

Fang Han understood clearly: later, when he reached a higher realm, he would follow Exalted Linglong's path and forge his own.

Exalted Linglong created the Linglong Great Luo Heaven—he too must forge his own path.

Everyone who reaches the highest realm must forge their own path, but right now, great Dao techniques like the Great Five Elements Art are truly useful.

He could hardly imagine any Five Elements technique surpassing the Great Five Elements Art—and how he would ever break free from it to create a new system of Five Elements.

At what cultivation level would that even be possible?

"Let's first see what Divine Abilities are contained within Gui Di's Nine Ghost Primordial Spirit."

Fang Yu spoke.

"Gui Di's Nine Ghost Primordial Spirit was forged in the abyssal depths, within great demonic qi. His thirty-four Divine Abilities are all the essence of demon cultivation. Let me see—the core technique is called the Five Demons Great Art, a branch of the Five Emperors Demon Art, formed by gathering the Five Elements' essence and fusing it with the souls and malevolence of countless beings, creating five great demons as his life demons, capable of absorbing human souls to grow."

Yan flew over, shaking his head, knowing Gui Di's Divine Abilities intimately.

"How much karma has he accumulated?"

Whether Fang Yu, Fang Han, or Star Cloud Baby, all furrowed their brows.
