Their repeated clashes turned into a sparring match that strengthened Fang Chen and exposed a flaw in his technique, leaving him focused on stabilizing his accumulated Sword Momentum.

• Little Golden Cicada told Fang Chen that the Time Secret Realm was collapsing because Fang Chen had obtained its inheritance or Core Origin.

Fang Chen found Red Cloud Crocodiles at Red Lotus Lake and killed one, but the others escaped underwater. Unable to see through the lake’s cold, obstructive waters, he gave up the hunt and prepared to leave.

• Little Crane struggled to carry everyone through the Yellow Springs Mountain Range’s unusually stable space, so Fang Chen and Myna bird traveled outside the Spirit Crane Space.
• After searching for a month, Fang Chen found thirty-two adult Red Cloud Crocodiles basking beside Red Lotus Lake.
• Fang Chen destroyed one crocodile’s body with Sword Shatters Xinghe and its soul with Soul Devouring Storm.
• The remaining Red Cloud Crocodiles fled into the lake, and Fang Chen followed them underwater.
• Fang Chen could not find the crocodiles through the lake’s cold water, so he told Little Crane they should search elsewhere.

He considered using the bow to hunt True Immortal-level Demonic Beasts but faced a crowd of Great Emperor powerhouses who could unite against him.

• After three months of searching, Fang Chen sensed a surge of energy and flew with Little Crane and the Myna bird to the Ancient City Ruins.

• The Spiritual Martial Great Emperor warned Fang Chen that charging in would cause the three families, including more than three hundred powerhouses from Myriad Beasts Mountain, to join forces against him.
