Chapter 349: The First Battle After Advancement!
Gu Fan looked at his Senior Sister, who had just successfully advanced, and slowly let out a breath of relief.
Advancing to the Three Blossoms Realm meant that his task was completed—she had already perfectly transformed her Cold Aperture Constitution.
After a moment, Fang Xue slowly opened her eyes.
Different from before, her originally black pupils had now turned ice-blue.
Combined with her flawless beauty, her aura instantly lost some of its coldness and gained a trace of allure.
Fang Xue exhaled lightly, then looked at Gu Fan and said with a smile:
“Thank you. The Cold Aperture Constitution is no longer my shackle.”
Gu Fan rubbed his nose, his gaze slowly drifting down from Fang Xue’s face to her chest, then to her lower abdomen, and finally…
“Ahem, Senior Sister, you can save your thanks for later.”
He quickly looked away and reminded her:
“How about you change into a new robe first?”
Fang Xue subconsciously lowered her head. At once, her face flushed crimson.
At this moment, she was nearly indistinguishable from being naked.
Under the effects of extreme heat and cold, her clothes had almost completely disintegrated, leaving only a few strips of cloth clinging to her body—making her appear even more enticing.
“You… turn around! Withdraw your divine sense from me!”
With one arm covering her chest and the other shielding below, Fang Xue hastily summoned a long dress from her Storage Pouch.
With a swift spin, her attire was replaced with new robes.
Gu Fan said somewhat awkwardly:
“I didn’t get the chance to say it earlier…”
“Don’t say another word!”
Fang Xue quickly cut him off. Just thinking about herself floating nearly naked in the air… and Gu Fan’s angle from the ground…
The image in her mind nearly made her want to die of embarrassment!
Calm down!
A cultivator should not be restrained by trivial matters.
Adjusting her mood, Fang Xue cast aside the incident, then looked at Gu Fan and said:
“Now that it’s done, should we head out, or…?”
Gu Fan was puzzled upon hearing this.
“Not head out… could it be that there’s still something valuable here?”
Fang Xue nodded.
“Indeed. It’s said that deep in the core lies a type of special Yuan Crystal. Not only is it filled with spiritual energy, but it also carries fire attributes.”
“If we can collect enough of these Fire Yuan Crystals, absorbing and cultivating with them can help temper both the body and spiritual energy.”
Gu Fan’s eyes lit up. That was a great treasure!
His physical body had already reached a bottleneck for some time, without much progress.
Naturally, upon hearing of a treasure that could temper the body, he wanted to collect it.
Moreover, with Fang Xue’s breakthrough, their fighting strength had doubled.
Even if they encountered another Fire Demon like before, they could slay it head-on without resorting to the Cultivation Nuclear Bomb.
“Our tokens give us fifteen days inside. From the moment we entered until now, less than two days have passed. I think there’s no rush to leave.”
Gu Fan suggested. Fang Xue nodded in agreement.
“That’s exactly what I was thinking. Entering the Demonic Fire Secret Realm isn’t easy. Fifteen days must not go to waste!”
Exchanging glances, they found their thoughts aligned. With a tacit agreement, they decided to venture deeper into the Demonic Fire Secret Realm.
On the one hand, they would collect Fire Yuan Crystals; on the other, they would see if even stronger Fire Demons existed.
Thus, they continued pressing toward the core.
To their surprise, the Fire Demons they had encountered in the outer area were nowhere to be seen.
Without those weaker Fire Demons, their advance became much smoother.
Fang Xue offered a guess.
“The outer region should be where lower-level Fire Demons dwell. From the point where I tempered my apertures, we should have already reached the middle region.”
“Here, the swarms of Fire Demons won’t appear. Instead, we may encounter Fire Demons like the hundred-meter one you fought earlier!”
Gu Fan’s expression changed slightly. After pondering a moment, he asked:
“You mean from now on, we may only face those hundred-meter Fire Demons at the Three Blossoms Realm?”
Fang Xue nodded.
“I only said it’s possible. These are just my speculations. Better to stay cautious.”
Then she shifted her tone and added:
“But don’t worry. Even if it is those Fire Demons, with my current strength, I can kill them head-on!”
Gu Fan instinctively nodded, but his face immediately darkened.
What did she mean by that?
When had he ever worried? Those Fire Demons were nothing—he could crush them at will!
Since advancing to the Three Blossoms Realm, Fang Xue seemed to no longer regard him, the Holy Son, with the same awe.
Damn it. He needed to advance soon. Otherwise, if the Holy Son remained at the Yang Spirit Realm while the other disciples all reached the Three Blossoms Realm, wouldn’t that become a laughingstock?
Noticing Gu Fan’s expression, Fang Xue’s lips curved with a faint smile. Then, increasing her speed, she darted further ahead.
Thus, the two of them advanced another three thousand li or so—until finally, they saw their first Fire Demon!
This Fire Demon’s body towered to a terrifying height of over three hundred meters. Its aura had reached the late stage of the Three Blossoms Realm!
Sensing the intrusion of two insignificant ants, it immediately stood up and charged toward them!
“Roar!!”
Its violent aura erupted, sweeping in all directions.
Fang Xue accelerated, soaring through the air like a spirit.
Turning back toward Gu Fan, she said:
“I’ll attack head-on—you handle the distraction!”
Without waiting for a response, she surged forward, carrying countless sword auras.
Gu Fan was speechless, but he understood her intentions.
Having just broken through, she naturally wanted to test the limits of her new strength.
He wasted no words and followed close behind.
The Fire Demon, seeing these two ants not flee but instead charge toward it, felt utterly provoked.
With a furious roar, it activated its great move. Magma burst through the cracked ground, converging upon its body.
“Careful! The magma will form armor with immense defense, and it can partially reflect attacks!”
Fang Xue only snorted coldly, as though Gu Fan had underestimated her.
The next moment, she soared into the sky, her jade hand sweeping outward.
“Cold Ice Sword Spirit Crossing!”
Swish! Swish!
Sword aura raged, this time infused with chilling frost. Each strike grew far stronger than before!
Gu Fan did not hold back either. From the flank, he threw a punch.
“Domain Suppression of Myriad Phenomena—Strength Shatters All Laws!”
Boom!!
When had a Fire Demon ever encountered such ferocity?
The two of them attacked with full force right from the start.
The magma armor barely formed halfway before it was shattered!
“Roar!!”
“Ants… seeking death!!”
Just as the Fire Demon prepared to strike Gu Fan, a rain of countless icy sword auras descended upon it.
The sword aura inflicted numerous wounds, the frost not only breaking apart fire energy but also disassembling and restraining it.
The Fire Demon instantly sensed danger. With a sweep of both arms—
Hundreds of fire dragons roared toward the pair, while it stepped back to condense magma armor once more!
