Chapter 1237: Fuse

Netherworld Devil Wolves, middle-rank Dark Ferocious Beasts.

The memories of the Ancient Devil Warrior from before flashed through Ou Yangming’s mind. These Netherspirit Demon Wolves were very dangerous, and even the Devil Dwellers would be troubled if they encountered them.

According to the levels of the Great Wide World, most of these Netherworld Devil Wolves were Advanced Spiritualists, and some of the more powerful ones had broken through to Venerable Ones. As for the Netherworld Wolf King, it was at least a top-grade Venerable One.

A Devil Dweller Village without Ancient Devil Warriors would be a disaster if they encountered them. These guys would swallow every demon human into their stomachs.

The Netherworld Devil Wolves approached little by little…

Suddenly, a tall Devil Wolf leaped and pounced over. It opened its bloody mouth and bit toward Ou Yangming’s head.

Ou Yangming’s expression did not change. He clenched his fist and raised his hand to punch.

This punch was ordinary as he did not use any spiritual power. He wanted to experience the changes that the Dripping Blood Stones had brought to his body.

“Bang!”

Ou Yangming moved quickly and punched the nose of the Netherworld Devil Wolf. The tall wolf’s nose was crushed. It fell to the ground and howled twice before losing its life.

The nose was the Netherworld Devil Wolves’ weakness. Ou Yangming’s punch without any spiritual power could easily end its life.

‘Haha, not bad!’

Ou Yangming was still very satisfied with the power of this punch. Compared to before, his strength had indeed increased by a lot. He had only used 3 Dripping Blood Stones. If he used hundreds or thousands of them, how strong would his body be?

Before that happened, Ou Yangming could not imagine it. Nonethelesshe was sure that he had found a way to increase his strength.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!” Ou Yangming punched again.

He did not show any mercy. He found the weakness of the Devil Wolves and punched them. His feet kept changing directions.

There were many Devil Wolves, but none of them could get close to Ou Yangming. Nevertheless, the encirclement was also shrinking.

An impatient look flashed across the eyes of the Netherworld Wolf King in the distance. It raised its proud head and howled.

Hearing this sound, the other Devil Wolves trembled as if they had been injected with stimulants. Their eyes were bloodthirsty. They stomped on the ground with their hind legs and one by one, they pounced from the air.

The battle had only begun for a moment, and a large number of the Netherworld Devil Wolves’ carcasses had fallen on the ground.

Ou Yangming had also understood his strength. Looking at the Netherworld Devil Wolves pouncing at him from the sky, a cold smile flashed across the corner of his mouth.

He raised his hand, and a huge treasure sword appeared in his hand. This sword was the Nine-sworded Ruler’s natal weapon, the Juque Treasure Sword.

The Juque Treasure Sword lightly swung and collided with the Devil Wolves. The wolves looked strong but in reality, they were just a facade. In front of the Acquired Taoist Tool, they were extremely weak.

With a casual swing of the sword, many Devil Wolves were smashed into pieces. Those wolves that were affected by the sword-light were instantly split into halves. Blood flowed down like a waterfall.

The Devil Wolves that had not charged over were afraid. They stopped in the distance, their pale blue eyes filled with fear. The strange young fellow was too powerful. If they charged over at this moment, they would only be courting death.

Seeing that its subordinates were being slaughtered, the Wolf King suddenly stood up. With a roar, it flew over from the sky.

Since it was flying in the Fallen Land, it must have become a Ruler. This Devil Wolf King’s strength had reached that of a Ruler, and it was much more powerful compared to those Ancient Devil Warriors.

A Ruler was very powerful. In this nameless forest, it could be considered a top-notch powerhouse and had no natural enemies.

Having said that, a Ruler was nothing to Ou Yangming, not to mention that the other party was only a beast.

The Devil Wolf King’s claws were very sharp. They whizzed over, bringing with them a gust of wind.

Ou Yangming chuckled. The Juque Treasure Sword struck again. The sword flashed with golden light. This time, the young fellow used his spiritual power. With the addition of his spiritual power, his strength was increased by several times.

“Bang!” The sound was like a clap of thunder, shocking one’s eardrums.

The Juque Sword fiercely struck the Devil Wolf King’s body. It was not much different from the other Netherworld Devil Wolves, and it was also sent flying a few hundred meters away.

Ou Yangming was very fast. After swatting the Devil Wolf King away, he did not stop. Instead, he got up and chased after it.

The Devil Wolf King let out a wail. That collision just now made it feel like its body was about to explode in half.

What a mighty force. It was a force that it felt it could not resist.

The Devil Wolf King endured the intense pain and crawled up. It was afraid and planned to escape. That freak was not an existence that it could contend against. If it stayed here, it might die.

Despite that, it had just stood up when it was already in despair.

In a moment, Ou Yangming had arrived. The sharp and heavy Juque Treasure Sword was already pressed against its forehead.

The icy cold blade caused a chill to rise in the Devil Wolf King’s heart. Its body trembled, and it lay on the ground, not daring to move at all.

“Do you have Dripping Blood Stones?”

At the spur of the moment, a strange voice was heard by the Devil Wolf King. This voice came from Ou Yangming’s mouth. The language was very strange. It was completely different from the common language of the Great Wide World. It was also something that the young fellow had learned from the Ancient Devil Warrior.

The body of the Devil Wolf King shook. Ou Yangming was speaking the language of the Fallen Land. It had intelligence, so it could understand what he was saying.

‘Dripping Blood Stones!

‘This powerhouse wants those things.’

The Devil Wolf King also regarded Ou Yangming as a powerhouse of the Fallen Land. After all, this continent was infinitely vast. There might be races that it had never seen before.

“Yes…” The Devil Wolf King hesitated for a moment and said.

It did not dare to hesitate for too long. This fellow could end its life at any time.

“How many?” Ou Yangming smiled and asked again.

An Ancient Devil Warrior had 3 Dripping Blood Stones. This Devil Wolf King was even more powerful. Moreover, it had so many underlings. Presumably, it should not have fewer than the Ancient Devil Warrior.

“6… 6.” The Demon Wolf King answered honestly. It did not dare to hide. After all, its life was still in the hands of this powerhouse. The surrounding Devil Wolves howled miserably. They surrounded the young fellow but did not dare to move forward.

Ou Yangming chuckled and said, “6 is more or less enough. You can exchange them for your life.”

Hearing this, the Devil Wolf King’s eyes were filled with joy. Although the Dripping Blood Stones were precious, compared to its life, it would still choose the latter.

“Those stones are in my cave abode.”

While feeling excited, the Devil Wolf King said nervously again. Who knew if this powerhouse would have the patience to accompany it back to take the stone? If he did not have the patience and killed it with the sword, it would not even be able to cry.

Of course, Ou Yangming was very patient.

Not to mention the 6 Dripping Blood Stones, even if there was only one, he would not let it go.

The Devil Wolf King ordered its underlings to disperse and flew toward the cave with Ou Yangming.

Soon, Ou Yangming obtained the 6 Dripping Blood Stones. He did not break his promise and let the pitiful fellow go.

The forest was notably quiet.

Ou Yangming looked at the 6 blood-red stones in his hands. His eyes were smiling. “Who said that these Dripping Blood Stones are very rare? It has only been two days, and I’ve already obtained 9 of them.”

The young fellow obviously did not know how to be content with what he had. He had no idea how much effort the Devil Wolf King had put in to obtain these Dripping Blood Stones.

There was also the Ancient Devil Warrior, who had almost lost his life several times.

With these 6 Dripping Blood Stones and the 3 from before, Ou Yangming had gained a total of 9 of them. This number was a little awkward. From the Ancient Devil Warrior, the young fellow knew that in order to complete the first evolution, he would need to fuse at least 10 Dripping Blood Stones.

In other words, 10 Dripping Blood Stones were equivalent to a stage. After fusing 10 Dripping Blood Stones, one’s level of life would evolve. At that time, one could rely on one’s body strength alone to contend with Venerable Ones. Furthermore, the other functions of one’s body would be greatly enhanced.

After thinking for a moment, Ou Yangming moved his feet and disappeared from his original spot again.

He wanted to become an Ancient Devil Warrior in one go, so he still needed to look for one more Dripping Blood Stone.

There were not many Dark Ferocious Beasts in the forest.

Ou Yangming searched for a long time before finding 2. The first one was too poor and did not even have half a Dripping Blood Stone. It was a waste of effort.

From the second Dark Ferocious Beast that was a top-grade Venerable One, Ou Yangming obtained 2 Dripping Blood Stones. The number of Dripping Blood Stones he had also increased from 6 to 8.

The breeze blew, and the sky was filled with stars.

Ou Yangming sat cross-legged on the ground. Beside him was a black and white air current. This air current flowed about 10 meters away from him, protecting him tightly. Without the strength of the laws, entering it would mean certain death.

“The fifth one.”

At the center of the air current, Ou Yangming looked ferocious. He gritted his teeth fiercely. At this moment, he was enduring great pain.

The other Devil Dwellers or Dark Ferocious Beasts would only dare to fuse the next stone after a long time. Unless they were not afraid of death, no one would dare to be like Ou Yangming.

At this time, Ou Yangming was fusing the fifth Dripping Blood Stone.

‘Hold on!’

Ou Yangming secretly encouraged himself. He was an existence at the second step of the laws. If he could not even be compared to an Ancient Devil Warrior, would he not be a laughing stock?

His body flickered with a faint red light. The sweat on his head dripped down like soybeans.

After a long time, he finally let out a sigh of relief. “Success.”

He had successfully fused the fifth Dripping Blood Stone. With the addition of the previous 3 stones, he had fused 8 pieces. These 8 Dripping Blood Stones were all on his left arm.

In other words, as long as he continued to fuse 2 more pieces, he would be able to become an Ancient Devil Warrior of this Fallen Land.

Ou Yangming rested for a moment and continued to fuse the sixth piece. This time, it was even more painful. Every time he fused, it would be even more difficult.

His body was exhausted like a dehydrated vegetable. He felt as if his body’s energy had been exhausted.

Spiritual power could nourish one’s body while the laws could increase one’s realm. In actuality, these things did not have much to do with the strength of one’s body.

Powerhouses in the third step were incomparably strong, by which some could even contend with Taoist Tools. Nevertheless, that was only done with the addition of spiritual power and the power of laws.

In terms of body development, not to mention Ancient Devil Warriors, they might not even be able to compete with low-level Devil Dwellers. Once their spiritual powers and the laws were exhausted, their bodies would also decay.

On the other hand, Ancient Devil Warriors were different. They did not rely on anything. Just by relying on the evolution of their body, they could become immortal for 10,000 years after death.

“Huff, huff, huff.”

Ou Yangming panted heavily. The wound on his left arm gradually healed, and the Dripping Blood Stone finally fused with his blood.

To him, this was already the ninth time.
