Demon-Nurturing Formation

"Whoosh!"

In an instant.

Golden light exploded!

Within Su Fang's body, every bone shone in harmony, as though formed by nature itself!

First-Revolution Golden Body! Complete!

At the same time, just as Su Fang successfully established his Golden Body foundation.

Somewhere in the Gods and Devils Cemetery.

The Mad Old Man, who had been sleeping in a daze, suddenly sensed something. He opened his eyes and looked toward where Su Fang was.

"Little Madman, you truly are impressive. I was right about you." The Mad Old Man muttered to himself, then went back to sleep.

Elsewhere, having completed his Golden Body Foundation Establishment, Su Fang immediately felt as though his body held boundless power, as if he could effortlessly tear space apart.

With a light squeeze of his hand, he directly crushed a low-grade magic artifact.

"This body has long surpassed my former one. And this cultivation technique is indeed quite good."

Su Fang took out a third-grade treasured sword and slashed it against his arm, only for a chip to burst from the blade.

"With my current strength, if I relied on no other methods, I wonder what realm of experts I could continuously contend with."

Su Fang found that his physical body was practically like a magic artifact.

Feeling such formidable physical strength, Su Fang finally understood just how terrifying ancient body cultivators had been.

"No wonder so few magic artifacts were left behind from that era. When one's body was sturdier than a magic artifact, what need was there for magic artifacts?" Su Fang sighed.

After familiarizing himself with the power that had surged through his body, he began considering which tomb to excavate next.

However, just as Su Fang was thinking, two uninvited guests suddenly approached the tomb where he was.

The newcomers were Brother Meng and Luo Changqing.

The two wandered around the vicinity of Su Fang's tomb twice before stopping to discuss something...

"Are you sure you didn't see wrongly? There was treasure light appearing around here?" Luo Changqing asked.

Brother Meng hesitated upon hearing the question. "I really did see golden light appear nearby! I just don't know why it suddenly vanished. It shouldn't have happened!"

"Maybe you saw it wrong."

"It would be great if Jiang Chen were here. The turtle shell in his hands can search for treasures."

"Yeah. Who knows where Jiang Chen ran off to? We haven't seen hide nor hair of him for nearly ten days. Maybe he died somewhere."

"That's possible. Jiang Chen relies on being Prince Shaomiao's man and acts high and mighty all day long. He carries that treasure-seeking turtle shell around, hunting for treasures everywhere to line his own pockets. He isn't afraid of dying in some grave."

"Forget about him. It would be fine if he died. But if that treasure-seeking turtle shell gets lost, it could affect Prince Shaomiao's grand plan."

"Hey, this isn't something we can interfere with. Prince Shaomiao trusts him, so there's nothing we can do..."

"Isn't that the truth..."

"..."

Luo Changqing and Brother Meng chatted idly as they slowly departed...

Only after they had gone far away did Su Fang emerge from the tomb.

"Fuck! What is going on?"

"From the sound of it, Luo Changqing, Brother Meng, and Jiang Chen seem to be in the same group. And that Prince Shaomiao... why does that name sound so familiar?"

Su Fang was utterly bewildered.

Yet he still keenly sensed that some conspiracy seemed to be brewing within the Gods and Devils Cemetery.

"Looks like I need to investigate Prince Shaomiao."

"I wonder how large his forces are, and how many people in the Gods and Devils Cemetery are his secret followers."

With that thought, Su Fang left the area, intending to continue digging up bones to cultivate.

After all, one's own true strength was the best guarantee of safety.

No matter what conspiracy Prince Shaomiao's group had, as long as his own strength was sufficient, there was no need to worry too much.

Having made his decision.

Su Fang began searching through the Gods and Devils Cemetery once more.

His principle for choosing graves was simple: safety came first.

Before long, Su Fang found another remote and simple tomb.

Just as before, Su Fang first dug away the soil, then prepared to break the protective formation inscriptions.

However, this time, Su Fang was somewhat surprised.

Because beneath this tomb's protective formation inscriptions, there was actually a Demon-Sealing Formation.

"Why would there be a Demon-Sealing Formation?" Su Fang was puzzled.

He then looked at the tombstone and saw that the tomb's owner was Yun Yuankui, the seventy-eighth-generation elder of the Violet Star Palace. He had died naturally at the age of one thousand, one hundred and seventeen!

Judging from the introduction alone, there was nothing unusual about it.

But why was there a Demon-Sealing Formation beneath his tomb's protective formation?

Su Fang could not make heads or tails of it.

At the same time, he felt the mystery of the Gods and Devils Cemetery even more deeply.

"Could it be that a fiendish demon is buried beneath this tomb?" Su Fang boldly guessed.

In the end, driven by curiosity, he could not resist entering this strange tomb to investigate.

With a wave of the Heavenly Evolution Array Disk, a gap appeared in the Demon-Sealing Formation.

Following the gap, Su Fang entered the tomb directly.

The moment he entered, he immediately felt that the Killing Intent had grown much denser, mixed with threads of demonic qi...

"Something's wrong. This is far too wrong..." Su Fang shook his head repeatedly.

Logically, there should not have been even a trace of Killing Intent or demonic qi within a Demon-Sealing Formation.

After all, it was meant to seal a Demonic Beast to death. How could it possibly leave behind so much Killing Intent and demonic qi for it to recover with?

This simply made no sense!

In Su Fang's eyes, this did not resemble a Demon-Sealing Formation at all. It was more like a Demon-Nurturing Formation.

The moment that bizarre thought surfaced in his heart.

Su Fang broke out in a cold sweat.

Instinctively, he drew the Soul-Slaying Sword at his waist and took out the Heavenly Evolution Array Disk as well.

To deal with any unusual circumstances that might arise next.

Step by step...

Su Fang cautiously approached the coffin.

When he saw the coffin clearly, the thought in his heart gradually became reality.

Because the entire coffin was blood-red and covered in all kinds of demonic inscriptions.

At a glance, it was unmistakably the coffin of a fiendish demon.

With that thought, Su Fang immediately set up a Four Symbols Illusion Formation.

At the same time, he added the Nine Heavens Mystic Thunder Slaying Formation, one of the Sixty-Four Heavenly Evolution Formations that he had recently comprehended.

After setting up those two formations.

Su Fang finally relaxed somewhat and directly slashed his sword at the blood-red coffin.

Boom!

The coffin exploded!

Then, a stream of black mist emerged from within the coffin, slowly condensing into a pitch-black demonic shadow...

"Who is it? Who dares disturb my slumber?"

As the demonic shadow spoke, it slowly opened its pair of blood-red eyes.

On the other side, the moment Su Fang saw that demonic shadow, he was stunned.

Because he recognized this fiendish demon. It was the Heavenly Demon he had encountered not long ago within the Life-and-Death Chessboard.

"It's actually a Heavenly Demon!"

Su Fang cried out.

"Could the scenes within the Life-and-Death Chessboard all be events that truly happened in reality?"

Su Fang hardly dared to imagine it.

At the same time.

That Heavenly Demon had fully awakened.
