My Simulated Road to Immortality - Chapter 717

Chapter 717: Chapter 683: Refining Demon Body through Rift

Li Fan followed the direction of the sound and saw a cultivator standing at the center of Nixiu State’s Great Vortex, endowed with lithe but muscular physique, his upper body bare, roaring at the heavens.

Adjacent to him, numerous mini tornadoes spun, in the middle of the whirlwind, it was pitch black, resembling as if the very fabric of space itself was ripped apart.

The brawny man swayed in the wind. The tiny tornadoes materialized and vanished with his every movement.

Li Fan, though far from the center of the Great Vortex, was already feeling raw pain from the surrounding Gang Wind. Yet the muscular man in the heart of the vortex did nothing to defend himself. He just allowed the raging wind to batter his body, producing a crisp metallic clash.

“He is…”

Li Fan squinted his eyes.

This was their first meeting in this world, but in his previous life, Li Fan had crossed paths with him before.

The man in question was Dong Fangyao who managed the construction of the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array at Ten Thousand Mile Flame Burning Beach and the Spirit Transforming Stream. A close friend of Huang Fusong in that time, he already possessed the God Transforming Cultivation Level.

However, now it seemed that he had not yet crossed that threshold and was still in the Nascent Soul Realm.

“Interesting. Without any fluctuations of spiritual energy, just relying on his formidable flesh alone he can withstand the entire Gang Wind. As far as I can recall, in the Xuanhuang World, the Body Refining Technique is restrained by Heaven and Earth, once it reaches a certain level, the progress significantly slows down. I wonder how he had cultivated to this level…”

Li Fan did not approach hastily. Instead, he observed Dong Fangyao from a distance.

The whirlwind grew fiercer, and the waters of the Great Vortex became more turbulent. Dong Fangyao tried to stabilize his body amidst the stormy wind, moving closer towards the center of the vortex. Each step he took, one could faintly hear the crunching sound of his body being crushed under immense pressure.

“Humph!” Dong Fangyao roared, the veins on his neck bulging, his muscles shimmering with a faint golden light.

Determinedly, he continued to approach the center of the vortex.

Suddenly, a dark rift appeared in front of Dong Fangyao, like a lightning bolt. It struck him like a sword.

“Boom!” A thunderous sound blasted, piercing even the stormy gust, a bloody mark appeared on Dong Fangyao. He was forcibly pushed back several steps.

However, he appeared overjoyed rather than alarmed.

“Finally, you have arrived!”

He let out a strange cry, and the severe wound on Dong Fangyao’s body healed in an instant. He took a powerful leap, surged forward and covered dozens of feet within an instant.

A massive dark rift appeared abruptly. It seemed to have existed since ancient times, forever hidden, unable to be observed by outsiders.

The dark light acted as a sword, slicing Dong Fangyao’s body in half along its centerline.

“Puff!”

Dong Fangyao’s skin and flesh were immediately torn open, almost disemboweled on the spot. His body retreated rapidly, fleeing a thousand feet away in an instant, and returned to the safe area at the periphery of the vortex.

“Are you alright, fellow Daoist?” Spotting Dong Fangyao’s condition, Li Fan inquired in a timely manner.

Without approaching, he just passed a healing elixir. It was the Hundred Healing Pill prepared especially for him by Liu San. Although it couldn’t revive the dead or regrow bones, it was a top-quality injury healing medicine. After taking it, most injuries could be healed within breaths.

Dong Fangyao caught the Hundred Healing Pill. He took a glance and swallowed it whole.

“No big deal! Thank you, fellow Daoist, for your concern!” As he spoke these words, the terrible wounds on his body had already healed completely.

No scars were left.

While the Hundred Healing Pill played a role in this, it was mostly due to Dong Fangyao’s robust constitution.

Li Fan couldn’t help but show admiration.

“What should I call you, fellow Daoist?” Dong Fangyao ceased his cultivation amidst the storm for the time being, flying over to Li Fan.

“My name is Li Fan. I heard about the wondrous sight of Nixiu State’s Great Vortex, so I came to take a look. I didn’t expect to encounter such a marvel like you!” Li Fan’s eyes swept over Dong Fangyao’s muscular figure, revealing a trace of astonishment.

“I am Dong Fangyao!” He waved his hand, “What marvel, not at all! My body is just stronger that’s all!”

“Fellow Daoist Dong Fang, you are too modest. With such a formidable body, I suspect even the Body Cultivators from the ancient legends wouldn’t be able to match up to you,” Li Fan marveled.

Dong Fangyao burst into hearty laughter: “I love to hear that…”

Just as he was about to say more, he suddenly looked back towards the center of the Great Vortex.

In the middle of the thunderstorm, it seemed a dark shadow emerged abruptly.

“Fellow Daoist, wait for a moment! I will be back soon!”

Before his voice faded, he sped off like a lightning bolt, rushing towards the center of the vortex.

The deafening booms and collision sounds resonated once again.

A few breaths later, Dong Fangyao returned to Li Fan, all covered in blood and appearing in quite a sorry state.

This time, Li Fan did not take out the Hundred Healing Pill again; he just silently watched Dong Fangyao healing himself.

The injuries were severe than before, but it just took him a little more time to fully recover.

“I was worried in vain earlier, wasting a precious pill.” Looking at the situation, Li Fan was dumbfounded and jokingly said.

“Haha, not wasted! I’ve stored it inside my stomach.” Dong Fangyao proudly patted his stomach, laughing.

Li Fan was immediately taken aback, he shook his head and chuckled bitterly: “Fellow Daoist, you indeed are an amusing person!”

Dong Fangyao chuckled but remained silent.

“Being able to remain composed while staying here at the ancient Rift Realm vortex is also a considerate feat, fellow Daoist Li!” After some time, he took a deep look at Li Fan and hinted him.

A helpless look appeared on Li Fan’s face: “The Xuanhuang World is full of dangers. Without some skills, who would dare to wander? After all, it’s just a method to quickly recover spiritual energy. Compared to the method of fellow Daoist, it is not worth mentioning.”

“I have heard that cultivating the Body Refining Technique is extremely difficult. You can certainly be referred to as a peerless genius for practicing it to this point!” Li Fan said admiringly.

While Dong Fangyao humbly disagreed, he couldn’t conceal his feelings of pride.

“I just have a slightly special physique.”

As he spoke, the dark rift in the center of the vortex emerged again. Dong Fangyao stopped the conversation and rushed towards it again.

After his return, heavily wounded, they resumed their conversation.

This happened several times, and Li Fan gradually learned some insider details from Dong Fangyao.

As it turned out, Dong Fangyao, just like Ye Feipeng, carried traces of an Ancient Demon Beast Bloodline in his body.

Though after thousands of years, the bloodline had diluted to an almost negligible level. However, during a lucky encounter, Dong Fangyao got a strange treasure that unleashed all the potential of his demon beast bloodline.

“At first, I was worried if I would turn into some half-human and half-demon figure, but it’s an amazing thing.” Dong Fangyao exclaimed.
