Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

“Hooowl!”

The Wild Man at the Great Perfection of the Monster Core Realm flew into a rage. Unable to stand still any longer, he roared and leaped into the air, extending his massive fist to smash down on the Armor-Piercing Axe.

“Bang!”

The Armor-Piercing Axe was sent flying, striking a rib to the side with a “clang” before falling towards the water below.

Now that the Wild Man chieftain had made his move, he did not hesitate. He kicked off the side of a long bone with his left foot, spinning around to pounce on Zhang Yuanjing. Despite his large size, he was extremely agile as he twisted and turned between the bones. His speed was fast and his strength was great. Before he even arrived, the force of his attack was already buffeting Zhang Yuanjing's face.

Zhang Yuanjing did not plan to use the Yang Refining Umbrella. Although this demon’s realm was one level higher than his, it had neither special talents nor magical treasures. He intended to fight it and test out the two new magical treasures he had obtained.

Wielding the Heavy Earth Spell Sword, he cast an Earth Defense. A yellow wall appeared abruptly, only to be shattered by the demon. However, this obstruction slowed its attack.

This demon was high above, looking down. Its body shook, and countless red hairs scattered, falling towards Zhang Yuanjing's head.

It grinned, its face distorted beneath the long hair, revealing two rows of wide, long teeth. Its two thick, powerful arms stretched out straight like spears, the spearhead being a cone formed by the five glowing claws merged together.

Zhang Yuanjing sacrificed the Geng Metal Essence Talisman. Golden light radiated out, blocking the Wild Man's hair and arms.

“Boom!”

The demon crashed into the golden light, creating a violent impact. The golden light caved inward, and Zhang Yuanjing quickly retreated, landing on a horizontal bone below.

At the same time, with a thought, he summoned the Armor-Piercing Axe from the water, slashing it towards the Wild Man's head.

Seeing that it could not break through the golden light in a hurry, the Wild Man turned and clung to a horizontal bone, punching the axe to deflect it. Then, it pounced on Zhang Yuanjing again.

Zhang Yuanjing cast Earth Defense once more, slightly hindering the Wild Man. When its momentum slowed, he suddenly summoned a sandstorm to trap it. Then, with a flip of his hand, he hid the Limitless Blade within the killing formation.

The Wild Man's soul was weak. Confused by the sandstorm and unable to discern direction, it roared sharply, flailing its arms wildly and smashing into the bones, creating loud thuds.

Zhang Yuanjing controlled the Armor-Piercing Axe, repeatedly attacking the Wild Man. Sometimes, its flailing arms blocked the axe. Other times, the axe struck its body. Although he couldn't injure it seriously for the moment, it only made the Wild Man even more furious.

Seeing this, the Wild Men in the Qi Awakening Realm above aimed at Zhang Yuanjing's location and leaped down, attempting to pass through the sandstorm and directly attack him.

Zhang Yuanjing shifted his position, moving to a rib to the side. He heard a series of splashes as the Qi Awakening Realm Wild Men fell into the water below.

As the sound of water arose, he moved his mind and sacrificed the Nine Ring Tower, sending it towards the Wild Man trapped in the sandstorm.

Hearing the sound of a large stone entering the water below, the demon suddenly realized that while the sandstorm could confuse the five senses and divine sense, it did not change the environment. Below were only scattered bones, which one could fall into the water to escape.

Just as it was about to imitate this, it suddenly felt its soul tighten. It quickly looked up and saw a dark shadow looming over its head in the yellow sand. It did not completely fall, but within it was a force of extraction that constantly tore at its soul.

It groaned in pain, clutching its head with both hands, desperately gathering its thoughts to guard its soul and resist this strange attack.

However, soul combat was not its forte. If this move were used against a cultivator of the same level, even if that person's soul was not outstanding, it would at most interfere with their soul, making it impossible for them to concentrate. But for this demon, it was about to tear its already small soul apart.

The Wild Man resisted for only a few breaths before feeling a wisp of its soul being cut away. A sharp pain shot through its brain, almost causing it to faint.

The Nine Ring Tower successfully extracted the soul, and then refined that wisp of remnant soul. During the transformation, it paused slightly. Taking advantage of this brief respite, the Wild Man at the Great Perfection of the Monster Core Realm quickly took a step and fell backwards.

However, just as it thought it could temporarily escape, a hint of coolness suddenly brushed across its face. A flash of a blade appeared in the darkness.

It was shocked and instinctively tilted its head back to avoid the attack, but it was too late. The blade of light sliced across its red eyes, cutting the two protruding red eyeballs into four pieces. Fresh blood splattered, but the blade remained unstained, disappearing into the darkness. Only then did the piercing pain suddenly arrive.

It screamed miserably, covering its eyes with both hands. Its abdomen was struck by an axe again. Compared to the pain in its eyes, this axe could only be considered a mockery and ridicule.

It was both shocked and angry, and fear arose in its heart, but it could not swallow this humiliation. It opened its mouth to roar, but the sound had just begun when it fell into the water, choking on a mouthful of lake water.

When it emerged from the water, the area above was a blurry yellow. If it wanted to escape the water, it had to enter the sand formation. As for the culprit who had damaged its soul and injured its eyes, it could no longer be found.

Ignoring the group of Wild Men roaring madly below, Zhang Yuanjing flew up and landed on the rib where the Wild Man at the Great Perfection of the Monster Core Realm had been standing.

Above his head was the broken bone. The black mud-like substance was still dripping down, falling into the water in clumps. The other broken bones were the same.

The reason why the water near the stone house was special was probably because it had dissolved this substance. Xun Fang's Golden Scale Leopard had been invaded by this water and died not long after, showing the dominance of this black mud.

These Wild Men, without refining, could absorb this substance and rely on it to constantly improve their cultivation. They were likely related by blood to the demon who owned this skeleton, perhaps they were its clan members or descendants.

What was still unknown was the relationship between the owner of the broken bone and the heart in the Profound Origin Secret Realm and the demon who owned this skeleton? Were they of the same race?

Even more unknowable was where such a powerful being came from and who had injured it?

This skeleton was placed in a stone box and had not completely died. It still retained a trace of remnant thought, constantly absorbing spiritual power from the outside through the flow of lake water, generating the black mud substance, nurturing vitality and spirituality, and attempting to recreate its body.

Of course, this was just his guess. A being capable of reviving life by relying on remnant bones must be stronger than a Transformation God cultivator, and this was definitely not something this world could bear.

Holding the Armor-Piercing Axe, Zhang Yuanjing chopped at the front half of the broken bone. Amidst the crisp sound of impact, the axe flew up, but the front half of the broken bone broke in response, falling down three or four pieces of bone fragments about an inch long.

This bone was indeed far less solid than other places. This was probably because it had been shattered by the being who had slain it before it died. Although the exterior looked unchanged, the interior was actually full of cracks.

Zhang Yuanjing took out the Yin Yang Creation Furnace (replica) and threw the bone fragments into it, igniting the Yin Yang Twin Flames to refine them.

After less than a quarter of an hour, the bone fragments began to change.

Zhang Yuanjing then stopped refining the bones and put the Yin Yang Creation Furnace into his storage bracelet.

He was just verifying something, not completely refining this bone in the stone room. This skeleton was so large that it would probably take months to chop it up and refine it. He didn't have that much time now. It would be better to leave it here first, let these Wild Men guard it, and then take it away in the future.

Zhang Yuanjing waved the Heavy Earth Spell Sword, creating another sandstorm formation to completely cover the water surface. Then, he leaped into the water and floated forward along the water flow towards the hole.

He landed in the water near the Wild Men, so he naturally couldn't hide it from them. These angry Wild Men, especially the Wild Man at the Great Perfection of the Monster Core Realm, struggled and chased after him into the lake.

Zhang Yuanjing still used the Source Stone to protect his body. After leaving the stone house, he sank down, drilled into the soil, and tunneled away to the side, entering the hard soil. Only then did he go upwards and exit the ground.
