Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 4
Chapter 4 Vermilion Fruit
This python was five to six meters long, and it was already a bit of a Dao Cultivator, opening up some intelligence.
Moreover, when a rank 4 demonic beast arrived, it would usually accompany spirit medicines. Could it be that this python was guarding some kind of spirit medicines?
Seeing the humans in front of him, the python’s eyes turned scarlet and its tail swept towards Ye Feng very quickly.
Waves of fishy smell assaulted his nose. Ye Feng’s feet were filled with wind, and it was unpredictable. He punched back with his fist, which was the first move of the Shattering Bone Fist.
“Be split!”
The huge tail swept over and was severely imprinted on the python’s body by Ye Feng’s punch.
“Bang!”
The sound of metal resonating could be heard. The scales on the python’s body were even harder than ordinary iron.
Ye Feng’s strength was so great that he had already reached the strength of nine bulls. Although he did not suffer any serious injuries, this punch caused the python to move several meters horizontally.
If it were an ordinary Third Grade demonic beast, a single punch from earlier would be enough to destroy all the vitality of a Third Grade demonic beast. However, this punch only heavily injured this python. Although the demonic beast’s agility was inferior to that of humans, its strength was a demonic beast’s innate talent.
Turning around, the python continued to pounce over. The fishy smell was even denser. Although the toxicity was not very great, it still felt dizzy when it inhaled into its nasal cavity.
“What a scoundrel, let me give you a taste of my second move!”
Ye Feng shot out and poured all his True Qi under his feet. With a burst, he shouted loudly and punched the python’s body again.
“Jump!”
This time, the strength was even greater. All of the zhenqi in the nine dantian fields was mobilized. The python was sent flying several meters away and let out a miserable scream. The bones in its body shattered and its twisting speed slowed down.
Whoosh!
Ye Feng’s body disappeared from the spot. He grabbed the python’s tail and swung it directly. A python weighing several hundred jin was swung up by Ye Feng. In the end, it flew out of its hand and smashed into a distant cliff.
“Boom!”
A muffled sound came from the mountain wall. The python was smashed into pieces, and a large number of cracks appeared on its body. Fresh blood flowed out, dyeing the entire cliff red.
“Don’t let go!”
Although his body was shattered and fresh blood flowed out, the demon core was still there, and there was pure demon energy inside. Ye Feng did not want to let it go.
The vampire’s constitution had already mutated. It could not absorb fresh blood alone, but could even absorb everything. It could be converted into pure true energy and replenished into its dantian.
True Qi surged again, reaching the peak of the Houtian 3rd layer. It was estimated that after killing a level 4 primary demonic beast, he would be able to advance to the Houtian 4th layer.
Seeing the bloody aura all over the ground, Ye Feng did not dare to stay for a long time. Killing the python would attract the attention of the other demonic beasts.
He hurriedly searched the edge of the cliff. Grade 4 demonic beasts would accompany spirit medicines. He didn’t know what kind of spirit medicines this python would accompany.
Suddenly, the Yuan Qi in the surroundings became incomparably dense. A foot tall tree grew below the cliff. There were six leaves on it, followed by a scarlet fruit in the middle. It was very attractive and emitted a faint and attractive fragrance.
“Sixty years old Vermillion Fruit!”
Ye Feng almost roared excitedly.
According to the records in the Spirit Medicine Spectrum, this Vermillion Beauty Fruit would only bear fruit after 60 years. It was nurtured by the spiritual temperatures of heaven and earth. Generally speaking, if consumed for 60 years, the Vermillion Beauty Fruit would increase one’s cultivation by five years. It could be said to be extremely precious.
More importantly, this Vermillion Beauty Fruit had the function of cleansing the marrow and cutting the hair. It could increase the strength of the body. If it was taken out for auction, it would be worth at least a thousand spirit stones.
Ye Feng suddenly understood why the python saw him attack. It turned out that the Vermillion Beauty Fruit was about to ripen. He mistakenly thought that Ye Feng was here to snatch the Vermillion Beauty Fruit, causing hostility.
The preciousness of heavenly materials and earth treasures was not only known to humans, but also to demonic beasts. Although their intelligence was not high, they knew that consuming spirit fruits could increase their cultivation. The Vermillion Beauty Fruit was about to ripen. This python had waited for several years, but in the end, it was cheaper for Ye Feng.
He carefully picked the Vermilion Fruit and placed it in his arms. He did not dare to stay. He had already heard a demonic beast approaching him. His body turned into a streak of light and disappeared from his original location.
In the next day, Ye Feng also encountered a few demonic beasts. However, they were all rank three demonic beasts, so he did not dare to go further in order to avoid encountering rank five demonic beasts.
“Bang!”
On the third day, another Fourth Grade demonic beast died in Ye Feng’s hands. Pure demonic energy and blood essence flowed into his body along his fingernails. The length of his fingernails changed from one inch to two inches, and a green cold light emitted from it.
Ye Feng briefly tested his fingernails. The hardness of his fingernails was even harder than that of ordinary weapons. Once he grabbed them, the huge stone directly cracked open.
After absorbing the adult Barbarian Bull Beast, Ye Feng finally felt saturated. He was about to break through. His fingernails returned to his fingers and his body crossed over. He intended to find a safe place to break through.
On a steep cliff, a teenager sat cross-legged for an entire hour. The surrounding Yuan Qi was restless, continuously pouring into the teenager’s body.
The youth was precisely Ye Feng. After absorbing the Barbarian Bull Beast, he felt an opportunity to break through. The nine dantian formed a cycle, continuously absorbing the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and injecting it into the dantian.
“Weng!”
With a weng sound, he entered the fourth level of the Houtian realm. The Yuan Qi in the surroundings became even more restless. They all gathered towards Ye Feng, forming small whirlpools that poured into the empty dantian.
Ye Feng wasn’t in a hurry either. Although the speed of the cycle was nine times slower than others, the mutated body had already made up for this defect. As long as there was a steady supply of demonic beast blood essence, he would definitely be able to recover the realm he had fallen from before.
Another two hours passed. Ye Feng’s realm began to stabilize, and he advanced to the peak of the Houtian 4th layer. He slowly stood up, and his body emitted crackling sounds.
“So comfortable!”
Feeling the surging power coming from his body, he had the strength of twenty bulls. With a punch, lightning flashed and lightning moved. A stone the size of a water tank was shattered by Ye Feng through the air.
“Qiang, I’m afraid that Houtian 5th layer is no longer my match.”
The increase in strength caused Ye Feng’s confidence to greatly increase. “There is still more than a month left before the Inner Sect Tournament. Now that I have advanced to the Houtian 4th layer, the inner sect disciples are certain. However, I must not be complacent. I want to break through to the Xiantian realm.”
After breaking through to the fourth level of the Houtian realm, Ye Feng did not choose to continue training. He planned to return to the Heavenly Spiritual Academy first. It had already been four or five days since he left.
After spending a few hours, Ye Feng returned to the small courtyard and put down the bundle. He sat cross-legged on the bed and took out the Vermilion Beauty Fruit. The alluring fragrance was emitted. Without any hesitation, he directly swallowed it.
After the entrance, it transformed into a stream of heat that entered Ye Feng’s body, bringing with it a sweet smell, and the entrance immediately melted.
A stream of heat rose from his dantian, and his True Qi started to circulate crazily. Ye Feng’s face turned red, and his entire body started to tremble. This Vermillion Fruit’s energy was too powerful.
Along with the Vermillion Fruit’s energy beginning to wash away his body, Ye Feng mobilized all of his True Qi to refine this energy. Every time he refined it, his dantian would become saturated. The newly stabilized realm loosened again, and even the excess Spiritual Qi began to temper Ye Feng’s body.
The pure energy tore Ye Feng’s body apart. Even his cells were being torn apart and recombined. Over and over again, Ye Feng’s expression had already twisted. However, it was accompanied by a sense of pleasure. Although it was painful, he enjoyed the pleasure brought about by the increase in his strength.
The bones in his body let out crackling sounds, as if setting off firecrackers. The Vermillion Fruit’s energy constantly transformed Ye Feng’s body.
Twenty-one bulls!
Twenty-two bulls!
Twenty-three bulls!
…
Twenty-eight bulls!
Thirty bulls!
Ye Feng’s strength slowly stopped after reaching 30 Niu Force. His realm began to loosen. The peak of the Houtian 4th layer was instantly pierced through, and he began to climb towards the Houtian 5th layer.
“Dong dong dong …”
The blood in his muscles and veins let out a thumping sound. Blood was like lava, like thousands of horses galloping, as if a war drum had been beaten.
“Drink!”
With the end of the thirty-sixth cycle, Ye Feng broke through to the Houtian 5th layer. His realm was increasing crazily, instantly reaching the peak of the Houtian 5th layer, approaching the 6th layer. All of this was the strength of the Vermilion Fruit, increasing his cultivation by five years.
After his strength broke through, Ye Feng immediately walked out of bed and cultivated the Bone Shattering Fist in the courtyard.
“Rumble!”
Ye Feng’s courtyard was filled with rumbling sounds. It was like thunder as he smashed his fist into the Small Perfection Realm. As his strength increased, he punched out and tortoise marks appeared on the ground. If Ye Feng did not control his strength, this small courtyard would definitely be destroyed.
“Ye Feng, get out of here!”
An angry shout interrupted Ye Feng who was cultivating. His voice came from outside the courtyard.
