382: Immortality

Another three days passed.

Besides the Demon Gods he had killed previously, Fang Bai did not encounter any other lone Demon Gods.

Meanwhile, the various Experts of the Alliance Nation were also heavily hunting Sea Demons, killing every one they saw without holding back!

Even the Ninth-Rank Experts were dispatched, though they intentionally captured and imprisoned high-rank Demonic Beasts to send to Fang Bai.

They knew Fang Bai needed to hunt a large number of Demonic Beasts, so this was how they could help.

However, even the Ninth-Ranks could not find any trace of the Demon Gods; they were extremely cunning, hiding in the deep sea and refusing to show themselves.

Furthermore, as the slaughter progressed, the number of Sea Demons noticeably decreased.

If they wanted to kill a Sea Demon, they needed to spend some effort just to find one.

The Alliance Nation.

In the nearby sea area, a group of Sea Demons was released.

Their aura was at least starting from the Sixth Rank!

Among them, there were more than twenty Eighth Rank ones!

There were over two hundred high-rank Sea Demons in total!

These were all captured by several Ninth-Rank Experts.

With the Demon Gods absent, hunting Demonic Beasts was simply effortless for them.

Those Sea Demons were terrified and restless.

Falling into the hands of these human Ninth-Rank Experts, their fate was indeed sealed.

Boom!

Just then, a startling bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the sky!

In an instant, those more than two hundred Sea Demons were instantly obliterated!

A young figure stood above the void.

The few Ninth-Ranks looked at that figure with complicated expressions.

"He really has become stronger again!"

"As expected, just as he said, killing Demonic Beasts allows for infinite strength improvement!"

"What a truly enviable ability!"

...It must be said that even geniuses like the Ninth-Ranks couldn't help but feel admiration.

Fang Bai's special ability was undoubtedly coveted. It was hard to imagine who could be his opponent in the future if he possessed this power?

After killing these high-rank Demonic Beasts, Fang Bai finally accumulated ten million Contribution Points!

Moreover, his cultivation was already at the critical point of breakthrough!

Feeling the increase in power within his body, Fang Bai revealed a satisfied smile.

"System, exchange for the Undying Body!"

[Ding! Ten million Contribution Points consumed. Congratulations, Host, on obtaining the Special Physique—Undying Body!]

[Note: Undying Body allows the Host to recover from any severe injury in a short amount of time, provided they are not instantly killed! To some extent, this is a state of Eternal Existence!]

A faint golden light appeared on Fang Bai's body. He looked down at his palm; his eyes seemed to possess X-ray vision, allowing him to see traces of golden liquid flowing within the blood in his palm.

He felt as if something had been added to his body.

"Infinite restoration?"

Fang Bai muttered.

In fact, this was equivalent to the Undying Body. With terrifying healing capabilities, even if an opponent above his cultivation realm shattered his physical body, leaving only his soul or a single drop of blood... he could still revive!

However, if the opponent was too monstrous, even he wouldn't be able to recover.

If he was instantly killed into nothingness, how could he revive?

Fang Bai grinned: "With this ability, Buddy, I've gained another trump card for survival!"

Retracting his thoughts, Fang Bai descended.

Wuzang and the others gathered around.

Fang Bai nodded slightly: "Everyone, thank you for your hard work."

The Pastor smiled: "Alliance Leader, you jest. We old fellows can only manage this much. It is a pity we couldn't capture a Demon God for you."

Fang Bai said: "Demon Gods are Ninth-Rank Experts after all; they aren't so easily suppressed."

Wuzang said in a deep voice: "I wonder if you've noticed that the recent situation with the Sea Demons seems a bit off."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"That's right. As our army advances, the number of Sea Demons is decreasing rapidly. Within thousands of miles near the Alliance Nation, the Sea Demon Race seems to have vanished into thin air!"

"Could they have already gathered and be planning some kind of conspiracy?"

"That's possible!"

"The aura of the Demon Gods is also not in this region. I have a bad feeling about this."

"Me too."

...Fang Bai slowly said: "If that is the case, then there is only one possibility left: they intend to fight us until death!"

"Those few Demon Gods aren't that cautious. Facing our counterattack, they will definitely retaliate. It's highly likely that this time, it truly is a life-or-death decisive battle!"

Fang Bai's words were acknowledged by the Ninth-Ranks.

Just then, a figure rapidly rushed over from afar!

It was an Armored Middle-aged Man. He was covered in blood, severely injured, and his aura was extremely weak; he was clearly holding onto his last breath just to rush back.

"N-no good! Alliance Leader!"

Before the person arrived, his panicked voice had already reached them.

Fang Bai raised his hand and beckoned, bringing the Middle-aged Man before him. Before the man could speak, Fang Bai tossed a Medicinal Pill into his mouth.

Whoosh!

In a short time, the Middle-aged Man's weak aura instantly regained vitality!

The man, who was on the verge of death, miraculously recovered.

Everyone's eyes narrowed, filled with astonishment.

What kind of Medicinal Pill was that? The curative effect was actually so terrifying?

Fang Bai ignored the stares of others. He looked at the Armored Middle-aged Man and asked, "What happened?"

The Middle-aged Man reacted, immediately knelt on one knee, and said in a painful voice: "Alliance Leader, this is terrible news! The Sea Demon Race has attacked, and the entire team I led has perished in the line of duty!"

"What?!"

Everyone's expressions darkened.

Did those beasts lose patience right after they finished talking?

Fang Bai frowned: "What are the specifics?"

The Middle-aged Man quickly said: "I was leading the team to clear out Sea Demons. Everything was normal during the advance, but we suddenly encountered resistance from a large number of Sea Demons, many of them high-rank, and even—even a Demon God took action!"

"A Demon God?"

Fang Bai's eyes lit up: "Are you sure?"

The Middle-aged Man nodded: "That's right! That kind of oppressive power is something the Eighth Rank simply cannot possess!"

"If a Demon God took action, how did you return alive?"

The Pastor asked.

The Middle-aged Man gave a miserable smile: "Precisely because of the Demon God's attack, all my subordinates perished, and I was severely wounded, but it didn't kill me..."

Fang Bai said plainly: "Isn't that simple? It merely left a survivor to return and deliver us a declaration of war!"

"Hmph! These beasts!"

Fang Bai's expression shifted. He suddenly turned and looked toward the boundless sea in the distance.

Immediately after, Wuzang and the others also perceived something. They all looked over, their expressions growing heavy!

Fang Bai narrowed his eyes: "They're here!"

Endless demonic energy!

The Sea Demon army has poured out of their nest this time, united like never before!

A cruel smile curled up at the corner of Fang Bai's mouth: "Good, good, good. That saves me the trouble of having to look for you myself!"

"Notify everyone, gather all forces, and prepare to meet the enemy!"

"Battle!!"
