Chapter 193: Defending the Holy City
Soon after restarting the processing of spirit stone powder, Zhang Fan suddenly discovered a problem, even if he improved this kind of work with various unique skills, coupled with the improvement of his spiritual power compared to the last time he was under the sea, the time required to process a hundred top-grade spirit stones or 10,000 top-grade spirit stones could only be reduced from more than eighty years to five years. In this way, it takes five hundred years to process only 10,000 top-grade spirit stones, so wouldn't it take tens of thousands of years to process hundreds of thousands of top-grade spirit stones? It will take at least 10,000 years to fight monsters while upgrading? No wonder so many big schools and top masters have not studied this trick, maybe it's not entirely the result of a lack of abstract thinking and experimental habits...
After testing in the Qiankun Shield for more than a few months, and making nine artificial inner pills at the peak level of Yuan Ying that were more suitable for Ye Ruyun, Ye Ruyue and others to use, Zhang Fan put his goal on the common sense of processing the middle grade spirit crystal. Sure enough, the efficiency was much different from before, it only took about ten years to turn a medium-grade spirit crystal into a dry spirit cloud that was smaller than the size of an electronic level like an invisible cloud, and it took another ten years or so to complete the upgrade of his previous main artificial inner pill.
Through this upgrade, Zhang Fan's continuous combat ability has been greatly reduced, from the calculation of day and night of large-scale confrontations to the cumulative all-out attack of no more than an hour at most, and it cannot be a continuous attack at a very fast speed. It is probably equivalent to a thousand blows with all your strength, and you may be overdrawn. However, in Zhang Fan's opinion: this is enough to meet his own needs. With his strength increasing by three grades, reaching about sixty or seventy times that of the past, it is estimated that even if he can't kill the tenth-order demon beasts in the depths of this boundless continent or the peak powerhouse of the god transformation in an attack that is comparable to his previous strength, he will be able to hit it hard.
After completing this important cultivation upgrade, Zhang Fan's courage was also a lot more sufficient, but in order to avoid some trouble, he still tried to hide his body as much as possible when he was traveling, and moved towards the "danger zone" where he had obtained some information from those Ten Thousand Law Sect Yuan Ying opponents who had searched for souls before.
After about half a year of travel, he finally approached a dangerous area that was said to be the existence of a tenth-order demon ape. Of course, Zhang Fan also learned about several other legendary and dangerous demon beast lands, but for the sake of caution, he even combined some previous experiences. It is more useful to oneself today, and it is not too dangerous to deal with the demon beast, it is best to use this kind of power type, and the demon beast whose soul is not too powerful, so that according to some past experience, the fusion with oneself and even the loss of the supreme holy flame will be smaller
In order to be able to ensure the "touch porcelain", Zhang Fan disguised himself as an ordinary Yuanying peak monk when he was still a certain distance away from the danger area. Because according to some previous experience, it is not necessarily that the weaker you are, the more likely you are to attract an attack in such a place. If the presence of an imminent danger is relatively strong, it may be actively ignored if it is too weak. Only if it can be easily solved by the other party, but it is not so small that it can be ignored, it is easier to escalate the contradiction by attracting eighth- and ninth-order demon beasts to "fight monsters" in some areas along the way.
Soon, seeing Zhang Fan taking the initiative to break into the area, some of the huge demon apes that were roughly at the ninth level in the depth of the Boundless Continent, which was equivalent to the tenth-order shape-shifting demon beasts in the western border, began to launch an active attack when they saw Zhang Fan who had broken into the territory.
In order not to scare away his opponent and thus be able to solve more targets at a time, Zhang Fan pretended to have a unique speed magic weapon and fled. In the process of escaping, he also carried out "provocative counterattacks" from time to time, and soon attracted at least a dozen ninth-order transformation demon apes chasing him.
"I have always adhered to one principle: in this world, monsters have no right to establish territory, and anyone anywhere has the right to freedom of navigation except for buildings built on their own initiative. If you attack passers-by, don't blame me for escaping and finding enough helpers to destroy all the unreasonable barbaric monsters like you within a radius of 100 million miles... While fleeing, Zhang Fan continued to provoke.
At the same time, in the process of pretending to escape, Zhang Fan often used the condensed spiritual power search line to carry out a quick and efficient scan in all directions, and soon through the help of the auxiliary talisman, he determined that some very likely dangers seemed to be approaching him.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Fan no longer left his hand, and at this time, his cultivation did not exert his full strength, and the nine demon apes that they were likely to take a certain risk to deal with in the past were like encountering a sudden catastrophe thunder in an instant, and they were completely lost their souls and fell like dead things without spirit.
"You and I have no grievances, why did you invade my clan's territory?" At this time, an idea seemed to come from thousands of miles away, which was not too far away.
Zhang Fan replied confidently: "Who has recognized the territory you have established? Have you publicized it to the outside world and set up certain signs? If I weren't a cultivator with profound cultivation, but really a Jindan monk passing by, wouldn't it be lifeless to break into here? ”
"Since you are so arrogant, today I will let you understand why for thousands of years, no human god cultivator has dared to break into our territory!" As the idea of declaring war came, the huge aura from thousands of miles away seemed to be approaching at an extremely fast speed. What makes Zhang Fan strange is that it stands to reason that the demon ape that seems to have significantly exceeded his expectations in terms of breath should be a behemoth, but in the investigation of his spiritual power, the other party is approaching, and his body size is increasing steadily, and when he is about a thousand miles away from him, he has shrunk to about one meter or so, similar to the height of a child. The body shape also seems to be more akin to that of an ape-man than a typical ape, when fully restored.
The unexpected dangerous aura made Zhang Fan no longer dare to underestimate the enemy intuitively, and started to advance at the fastest speed, retreating backwards while launching a full attack with the Xingchen Jue technique. In the previous virtual exercises, it was obviously better to deal with the really tough hardcore individuals, or the Xingchen Jue Exercises. Other lightning techniques are better suited to dealing with psychic opponents or group opponents.
With Zhang Fan's cultivation at this time, the size of the light point did not change very much, but the brightness seemed to be far away, and the radiant lightning point hit the target's head in the blink of an eye at a very fast speed. Then, with a violent flash of light, a huge ball of light flooded the target's body and even the area within a radius of at least a few kilometers.
Obviously, when Zhang Fan is now casting an all-out blow, the energy itself alone has exceeded the equivalent of 100 million tons, and this energy is not spreading outward without focus as before, or at least concentrating most of the energy to attack inward. There is no doubt that you can instantly kill even opponents who are much more powerful than the strongest monsters you have encountered in the past.
However, what Zhang Fan didn't expect was that almost in an instant, the demon ape, which was the size of an ordinary child, rushed out of the thunder light as if it had not been affected much at all when it was directly hit by his own full force, and quickly approached a very close distance from him.
At this time, Zhang Fan finally understood that the power of this demon beast was probably beyond his expectations, so he no longer hesitated to use the Divine Thunder Cannon at the bottom of the box that had been prepared long ago to launch a fierce bombardment.
At the same time as the divine thunder cannon in the Qiankun shield was bombarded, the recoil also allowed Zhang Fan to distance himself from the other party to a safe distance in an instant.
The blue thunder like lightning once again pierced the entire body of the demon ape, this time the attack was obviously larger and more consistent than before, the accurate and quite coercive ability of the divine thunder cannon shell exploded directly near the target's eyes, although it was not able to penetrate the opponent's body and explode in the body, but the power was also exerted to the limit. Such an attack seemed to have finally had a slight impact on the tenth-order demon ape.
Seeing that the expected target was so powerful, Zhang Fan no longer had much reservations, and once again launched nine divine thunder cannons at the same time to attack at the same time.
The huge recoil force made Zhang Fan be shocked thousands of times the speed of sound in an instant. Fortunately, Zhang Fan's physical endurance at this time is not comparable to the past, and he quickly stabilized his body and tried his best to approach the past again.
The Divine Thunder Cannon has been able to deal with very strong targets after Zhang Fan's upgrading and transformation before, although the opponent's strength exceeded expectations, but under the direct attack of the nine Divine Thunder Cannon shells, it was still under the repeated blue thunder and even the huge shock wave, and the whole body received serious wounds.
What Zhang Fan didn't expect was that even under such circumstances, the escape speed of the demon ape still seemed to be unexpected, reaching 10,000 times the speed of sound, about 3,000 kilometers per second.
In the past, Zhang Fan seemed to feel a little difficult to pursue, but at this time, it was completely different. Zhang Fan, who was able to unleash a powerful cultivation in a short period of time, quickly caught up with his opponent, and while sacrificing the altar of the Supreme Divine Flame, he once again prepared the Divine Thunder Cannon to fire.
Over the years, the flames of the Supreme Flame of Perfection seemed to have become much stronger, at least seven or eight times as strong as before, and it was clear that the human civilization in the Xuanfa Sect had been growing at a rate of almost doubling its strength every two years in just a few years.
However, even so, the direct attack of this Supreme Flame Altar did not seem to kill or even severely damage the opponent in the first place, it seemed that it only made the opponent feel uncomfortable for a while, and his body was obviously slowed down.
Of course, Zhang Fan understood the truth of "the daughter is scattered and comes back", and in this case, he was no longer stingy, and once again launched a salvo bombardment of twelve divine thunder artillery shells.
The tenth-order demon ape was directly hit by twelve divine thunder cannon shells when its own body was interfered with by the Supreme Divine Flame, and instantly turned into a blue thunder ape covered in blue light. It seems that the aura has finally begun to languish at this time, and the resistance to the Supreme Flame is not as strong as before.
At this point in the battle, the battle situation finally began to settle down, and what made Zhang Fan admire was that even so, the demon ape that was included in the Qiankun Shield had been sacrificed in the Supreme Flame for more than an hour before becoming dying and did not pose much of a threat to Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan also used his spiritual power at this time to seriously investigate some of the knowledge and memories of this tenth-order demon ape, and only then did he learn some facts in the depths of this boundless continent, including the main world of the Ten Thousand Law Sect.
It turned out that in the main world of the Wanfa Sect, although the cultivation realm division method below the Yuanying level and below was roughly similar to that of the western border, this was just a small number of genius powerhouses who were significantly stronger. However, because seventy percent of the monks who can enter the realm of transforming into gods are geniuses at the peak level of the Yuanying realm, and those who are not are assigned to some peripheral worlds, the difference between the strength realm and the realm of transforming gods has begun to become much larger, and there is a saying that there are two levels of nine stages of the three realms. That is to say, entering the realm of the gods is divided by strength, and the strength of the individual at each level is increased by three times, and the strength of the individual at each stage is increased by twenty-seven times. The strength of the entire God Transformation Realm after the redivision is divided into more than 760 billion times the strength of a single body. Among them, the strongest god realm powerhouse in the range is equivalent to the master of the western part of the Boundless Continent, who theoretically refines about eight or nine grades.
And of course, this is not all, the strength of the legendary protagonist-level genius of the peak powerhouse of the god can be further improved by five layers, and the peak master of the god transformation within the range of two or three hundred times. It is almost equivalent to the theoretical peak master of refining in the western border of the Boundless Continent.
Similarly, the tenth-order powerhouses among the demon beasts in this area will almost have that kind of strength. The demon ape that Zhang Fan was very unlucky to encounter was a tenth-order peak level demon beast equivalent to the upper level of the third stage of the Theorized God Upper Realm. If it weren't for the continuous use of twenty-two upgraded Divine Thunder Cannon shells and the Holy Flame of Perfection at any cost, I am afraid that it would not have been able to defeat it so easily.
Of course, the only thing that made Zhang Fan feel that he could gain something was such an inner pill that was completely different from the real tenth-order peak demon beasts in the western border of the Boundless Continent, maybe he only needed one piece to be able to meet his previous expectations, and to some extent, he could avoid further adventures to the greatest extent. Zhang Fan also seemed to feel that this level of demon beast seemed to be an upper limit that he could deal with for the time being, and if he was unlucky, he would probably put himself in danger if he encountered a stronger one.
After everything was over, Zhang Fan also left this dangerous area at a high speed and in the case of being as stealthy as possible, and found a more secure place as a long-term retreat, further improving his strength to the point where he could be worry-free in the realm of transforming gods.
