167: Chapter 167 The Demon Following Behind

Several hours later.

Boom!

A huge explosion sounded, and an Earth Demon, nearly forty meters tall, was blasted into pieces by multi-colored energy.

Five-colored sparks ignited an area, and the dazzling light contained powerful energy, easily capable of killing a monster with astonishing defense.

"I finally learned it!"

Gu Yue, who personally blasted this Gold Rank Ten Earth Demon and mastered Return to Void, was deeply amazed by its powerful might.

With just one strike, an Earth Demon with a massive Physical Body and strength comparable to a Gold Rank Talent user was shattered, a complete and uttercrush.

The huge explosion dispersed the surrounding mist, creating a large clear area, and the sound continued to travel further.

Gu Yue, who had just finished marveling at the power of Return to Void, had no time to continue heremotion, as she had to quickly follow Fang Yuan to one side.

This was the Earth Demon Territory, and they had penetrated fifty to sixty kilometers deep; the surrounding monsters were countless, and Legend Rank Monsters might even exist.

A huge explosion could travel ten kilometers in a short time, and it wouldn't be long before a large number of monsters were attracted to the explosion's center.

Before that, they had to get away from this place, otherwise they would face a massive number of monsters.

The two moved very quickly, covering hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye, their speed completely comparable to the speed of sound.

Following the sound waves of the explosion, Fang Yuan and Gu Yue quickly disappeared into the mist, moving away from the central explosion area... Sure enough, less than ten seconds after they left, various monsters began to appear in the explosion area.

Monsters not yet possessing intelligence gathered together, and finding no target, they turned their hunting gaze towards the monsters beside them.

A great battle was on the verge of breaking out, with Silver Rank Monsters only able to become food for Gold Rank Monsters.

However, this battle did not last even a minute before it was stopped by the huge figure that appeared next.

All the monsters stopped in unison; the pressure from a higher Rank made them all stand still and quiet.

In the mist, a ninety-five-meter-tall yellowish-brown behemoth finally revealed his terrifying true form.

With a mouth full of fangs, his yellowish-brown giant pupils, like millstones, carried unspokencoercion, and his massive Physical Body with explosive muscle lines displayed his terrifying strength.

Earth Demon, a unique and most powerful monster of the Earth Demon Territory, possessing an extremely powerful Physical Body.

The huge figure was still floating in the air; his ability to fly already explained everything.

That exaggerated ninety-five-meter size also indicated that this was a Legend Rank Two Earth Demon.

The massive Earth Demon ignored the surrounding monsters, his huge eyes scanning the surroundings, and his keen observation quickly took everything in the area into hisPerception.

"..., there is the aura of a living being."

The Earth Demon spoke in Universal World Language, letting out a muffled sound, and soon he discovered the footprints left in the direction Fang Yuan and Gu Yue had departed.

Upon discovering the tracks, the Earth Demon immediately used hisPerception to sense forward, his nearly forty-thousand-meterPerception range taking in the twenty-thousand meters ahead.

The Earth Demon'sPerception could only see the footprints hundreds of meters away; Fang Yuan and Gu Yue had already run over thirty kilometers away.

HisPerception did not detect the target, but this huge Earth Demon did not give up; his massive Physical Body moved forward quickly without any pause, following the trail of footprints.

As the Earth Demon departed, the monsters, originally suppressed by instinct, immediately erupted into mutual slaughter.

Powerful monsters killed weaker ones, dug out their crystal cores, and the crystal cores, mixed with blood and dirt, were shoved into the monsters' mouths and devoured.

Slaughter among monsters was not uncommon; under the influence of the monster factor, a large number of monsters were born every moment.

The slaughter of weaker monsters did not reduce the number of monsters; instead, it made many monsters even stronger.

The two, departing at extreme speed, were completely unaware that a behemoth was behind them searching for their tracks; along the way, they even picked up two Silver Rank rare treasures.

In the untrodden Earth Demon Territory, treasures were everywhere; one could find three or four rare treasures every hour, mostly attribute-based rare treasures like mysterious earth crystal stones.

For this type of treasure, Fang Yuan accepted all comers; all the rare treasures were devoured by him.

In just six short hours, he absorbed sixteen Silver Rank rare treasures.

Driven by the energy of numerous rare treasures, Fang Yuan'sPerception directly surged to forty thousand meters, an increase of nearly ten thousand meters compared to before.

Fang Yuan

Rank: Gold Rank Ten (??%)

True Spirit Talent: Origin Devouring (Gold Rank)

Talent: Devour All Things (0.387...%)

Not only was hisPerception improved, but the large amount of rare treasure Origin pushed Fang Yuan's pure Physical Body strength past the six hundred million mark.

The increase in strength gave him a slight boost in power, with his strongest burst exceeding 3.1 billion points.

Despite the increase in strength andPerception, Fang Yuan did not sense any critical point for Breakthrough.

Normally, his 【Source Devour】, while powerful, was ultimately just a Talent with only four ability branches, and could only be classified as a Gold Rank True Spirit Talent.

A Gold Rank Talent needs to Break through a Bottleneck to achieve Breakthrough to Legendary Rank... After moving forty to fifty kilometers away, Fang Yuan and Gu Yue stopped and continued to search for precious rare treasures in other directions.

Having just caused a huge commotion, Fang Yuan dared not let down his guard, and continued to use hisPerception to observe the situation.

With hisPerception exceeding forty thousand meters, he only needed to compress it to thirty thousand meters to avoid thePerception of all Gold Rank Monsters.

With the aid ofPerception, no monster could appear before them, but this peaceful movement did not last long.

"Let's go, a Legendary Rank Monster is approaching."

Just as he found a Silver Rank rare treasure, Fang Yuan sensed a massive figure rapidly approaching.

The moment he discovered the Earth Demon, Fang Yuan pulled Gu Yue, then used Myriad Laws Return to Origin to employ wind and lightning attributes, fleeing in one direction at the fastest possible speed.

The Earth Demon, who had discovered their tracks even earlier, revealed a cold smile; on his terrifying face, it made him even more ferocious and terrifying.

Just as this Earth Demon was thinking about how to torture and kill these two tiny living beings, upon entering the fifteen-thousand-meter range, he immediately detected the other party'sPerception.

The Earth Demon was somewhat surprised by the comparison, but the other party was merely a weak Gold Rank Ten, so there was no need to care.

Just as he was thinking this, the two figures swiftly disappeared from hisPerception range.
