"You want our brothers' horns?"

Of the three Moon-Worshipping Single-Horned Rhinoceroses, each over a hundred zhang tall, the one clearly larger than the other two roared, "That depends on whether you have the ability!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The three Rhinoceros Great Demons snorted in unison.

The Mingyue Dharma Forms floating in the air above their heads suddenly each cast down a visible beam of bright moonlight.

The three beams of moonlight converged upon the three Rhinoceros Great Demons, all of them ultimately absorbed by the horns on their noses.

The three horns, having absorbed all the power of the moonlight Dharma Forms, then burst forth with dazzling radiance.

Three laser-like beams carrying boundless freezing power enveloped Xia Manggan from three directions.

Sizzle!

How fast was light?

Xia Manggan had no time to react before his Divine Body was instantly shrouded in frost. His eyebrows and skin were covered in a thick layer of ice crystals in an instant, turning his entire body into a twelve-zhang-tall ice sculpture.

"Hahaha, no matter how heaven-shaking your divine abilities are, once our brothers' Taiyin Cold Light shines upon you, death is your only path." The smallest Rhinoceros Great Demon let out a booming laugh. "Big Brother, Second Brother, let me crush this human cultivator."

As it spoke, the Rhinoceros Great Demon stomped forward, charging toward Xia Manggan like a small mountain.

"Second Brother, there should be other human cultivators inside that sailboat in the sky. This little fellow has frozen into an ice sculpture and can't be eaten. Go capture the human cultivators inside the sailboat so we can have an extra meal tonight," ordered the largest Rhinoceros Great Demon.

Yushan Great Wilderness Marsh was one of the ten most dangerous places in Anchan Commandery. Every year, batches of human cultivators came here to kill.

The reason the three brothers dared to claim this mountain as their domain was their innate divine ability, Taiyin Cold Light.

Not only was it incredibly fast, to the point that even Immortals might not react in time, but it also contained terrifying Taiyin frost energy.

Ordinary Primordial Spirit Daoists would be frozen upon being struck, unable even to activate their Primordial Spirits, much less a mere Myriad Phenomena God-Demon of the Human Race.

If their opponent had not come at them so fiercely and launched a sudden assault on their lair, leaving them unable to gauge the enemy's true strength, they would not have immediately reverted to their true forms and jointly unleashed their innate divine ability.

When dealing with human cultivators who came here to temper themselves, normally only one of them needed to fight to sweep through them all.

After all, they were divine beasts, Moon-Worshipping Single-Horned Rhinoceroses, which could only take human form upon reaching the Wanxiang Realm.

The nobility of their bloodline was among the very highest of all Monster Race Great Demons within a radius of hundreds of thousands of li.

"Fine—" The second Rhinoceros Great Demon had just begun to agree and was about to charge toward the sailboat magical treasure in the sky.

When the third Rhinoceros Great Demon suddenly let out a miserable scream.

"Ah, it hurts like hell!"

The other two Rhinoceros Great Demons hurriedly turned to look.

They saw that the human cultivator, whose surface still bore a faint layer of frost, had thrust one fist upward, piercing through Third Brother's hoof like a nail.

Then, the instant Third Brother raised its foot in pain, the human cultivator wrapped both arms around one of its legs, swung its entire body through the air, and smashed it heavily against the mountainside.

Bang!

The tremendous impact made the entire mountain tremble.

"Not good."

"Third Brother!"

The two Rhinoceros Great Demons' eyes instantly turned red as they charged wildly toward their sprawled-out Third Brother.

But no matter how enormous they were or how fast their hooves ran, they could not match the human cultivator's proximity.

Rip.

The human cultivator, shorter than even their horns, tore open Third Brother's belly with his bare hands and then climbed inside.

"What dense Divine Power."

The moment Xia Manggan entered the Rhinoceros Great Demon's abdomen, surging pale-gray streamer engulfed him.

He instantly understood that this was the Rhinoceros Great Demon's Divine Power.

Divine Power existed in every part of a Fiendgod's body.

The Monster Race was naturally enormous in size, especially certain divine beasts and unusual creatures among them.

Take the Moon-Worshipping Single-Horned Rhinoceros. Even without using the Law of Heaven and Earth divine ability, its natural body exceeded twenty zhang.

Now that it had used Law of Heaven and Earth, its body exceeded a hundred zhang.

Thus, when fighting Fiendgod Body Refining cultivators smaller than themselves, they would often encounter opponents drilling into the interior of their Divine Bodies.

The simplest, most direct, and most effective way to deal with this was to use Divine Power like a raging flood to batter the opponent, forcing the opponent to expend Divine Power as well.

After all, the larger the body, the more Divine Power it naturally contained.

Therefore, ordinary Fiendgod Body Refining cultivators who encountered such a situation would generally use divine abilities and secret arts to wreak havoc for a while, then quickly leave the Great Demon's body.

This prevented them from exhausting too much of their own Divine Power and ending up dead instead.

But Xia Manggan was no ordinary Fiendgod Body Refining cultivator.

Golden light shone from his body. No matter how the Rhinoceros Great Demon's pale-gray Divine Power battered him, it could not harm even a single hair on his body, much less deplete his Divine Power.

"After three months of bitter cultivation, along with Ah Huang devouring the Nine-Star Immortal Carriage and Red Phosphorus Flame Fruit to return Divine Power to me, my Body Refining Divine Ability has now reached the third level. My entire body rivals a top-grade Human Rank magical treasure! If you were a Primordial Spirit-level Fiendgod, I might fear you somewhat, but at the Wanxiang level... die."

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~~~

Xia Manggan's six arms formed claws with their fingers or stood upright like blades. With incomparable ferocity, he cleaved apart the flood-like obstruction of Divine Power and began wantonly destroying the Rhinoceros Great Demon's internal organs.

However, once Fiendgod Body Refining cultivators reached the Purple Mansion Fiendgod level, they could regenerate from a drop of blood.

The destruction of its internal organs only made the Rhinoceros Great Demon howl in agony and cost it some Divine Power at most.

To truly end its life, he had to exhaust all of its Divine Power.

Therefore, after wreaking havoc inside the Rhinoceros Great Demon's body for a while, Xia Manggan removed the Ancient Stone Ring from his index finger.

"Wuji Ring, break!"

Rumble, rumble~~~

The Ancient Stone Ring, which had expanded along with Xia Manggan's body until it was over a zhang across,

began to wildly grow dozens, even hundreds of times larger as Xia Manggan activated it with his Origin Force.

In an instant, it burst the entire Rhinoceros Great Demon apart from within.

And that was not all.

Pure black North Underworld Sunflower Water and pure white Southern Bright Separation Fire formed within the ring of the Wuji Ring, instantly filling the space inside it.

The entire Wuji Ring resembled a sharply divided black-and-white Taiji Diagram containing Yin-Yang fish, wrapping all the Divine Power released from the exploding Rhinoceros Great Demon's body in one sweep.

Then, beneath the horrified gazes of the other two Rhinoceros Great Demons, it ground all of that Divine Power into nothingness.

Only a rhinoceros horn, restored to its original size and roughly two zhang long, remained. Xia Manggan grabbed it in one hand.

"Third Brother!!!"

The two Rhinoceros Great Demons' eyes nearly split apart.

"Don't rush."

Xia Manggan smiled as he stored the rhinoceros horn inside his Storage Magical Treasure. "I'll send you to reunite with your brother right away."

The first update is here. The next one will be in two minutes.
