Chapter 613 - 261: Slaying the Elephant

Chapter 613: Chapter 261: Slaying the Elephant

Qin Fang’s pupils constricted slightly. He saw that the black mist around the giant elephant was about to dissipate completely and said to the other four, "Seniors, fall back. I’ll go fight it."

"We can’t let you face it alone! We may not be its match head-on, but we can at least help run interference... You just focus on the main assault!"

Senior Brother Zhuang argued.

Senior Brother Ye, Senior Brother Mo, and Senior Sister Ji immediately agreed.

But Qin Fang shook his head. "My Nature is too aggressive. In a prolonged fight, my True Gang is bound to shatter and spill my Nature everywhere. My opponent is a True Blood Great Demon with condensed Demon Gang, making its resistance to Nature extremely high. But I’m afraid your True Gang won’t be able to withstand it, Seniors... And in the heat of battle, I can’t afford to be distracted by constantly retrieving the Profound Nether Nature from you. That would be even more dangerous."

The others were stunned.

Just as Senior Brother Zhuang was about to protest, Qin Fang said, "Don’t worry. I’ve fought a True Blood Great Demon before, so I have a general idea of their strength... This white elephant is the first True Blood we’ve encountered. If the pattern holds, it shouldn’t be too strong. I can handle it."

Senior Brother Zhuang still wanted to argue, but Senior Brother Mo interjected in a low voice, "Enough. Since our junior brother has made up his mind, we’ll listen to him. Did you forget what the Sect Leader said before? The giant elephant is coming. Let’s not actually become a liability!"

With that, Senior Brother Mo turned and flew off.

Senior Brother Zhuang and the others looked hesitant, but they finally gritted their teeth.

"Be careful, Junior Brother. If things go south, just get out of there!"

After Senior Brother Zhuang finished speaking, Senior Brother Ye and Senior Sister Ji finally flew off as well.

Once Qin Fang saw they were a safe distance away, he no longer hesitated. With a flicker of movement, he instantly charged the giant elephant.

The giant elephant still had some black mist clinging to it. Seeing Qin Fang attack, it let out a loud BELLOW, and its long trunk instantly lashed out like a massive whip!

The speed was astonishing.

Qin Fang’s figure blurred, and he dodged in an instant.

In the next moment, he raised his fist, about to strike.

But the giant elephant’s trunk was impossibly nimble. It froze mid-air for a split second before abruptly slamming down, crashing toward the top of Qin Fang’s head.

Qin Fang’s expression remained unchanged. His form flickered again, and he vanished from his spot just as the elephant’s trunk tore violently through the air.

Qin Fang appeared above the giant elephant’s head and made a tentative grab for the "Silver Grass" growing there...

...This was a rare treasure containing Void Stabilizing Power, something even a Seventh Realm Martial Artist would covet. It was also an essential component for advancing a Martial Domain into a Grotto Heaven.

And at the same time... it was the key to the continued expansion of the ’Void Realm’ inside his body!

Previously, Qin Fang had only treated the ’Void Realm’ as a convenient Personal Space.

But recently, a question had occurred to him.

And that was...

’...Divine Techniques are Celestial Gifted Leaf Skills.’

’And a Celestial Gifted Leaf Skill is based on a Martial Artist’s foundation, the Skill that is most compatible with the Martial Artist.’

’That Innate Spiritual Light contains the future path a Martial Artist is destined to walk.’

’Through Enlightenment of the Innate Spiritual Light, one can climb the path of Divine Techniques step by step, eventually reaching the Martial Domain, opening it, and in the end, even solidifying one’s own Grotto Heaven.’

’So, here was the question...’

’...Without a doubt, Qin Fang’s Martial Arts foundation had been the Profound Nether True Water Scripture.’

’But was it really that simple?’

’...The Great Sun in his Sea of Consciousness could convert his Profound Nether Nature into an equivalent Li Fire Nature.’

’Didn’t that count as part of his foundation?’

’And what about the ’Void Realm’ beside his Dantian...’

’...Didn’t that also count as part of his foundation?’

’Others didn’t know these secrets. But Qin Fang refused to believe that the speck of spiritual light bestowed by the heavens and earth would fail to notice!’

’In other words...’

’If he reached the Divine Secret Realm, wouldn’t he have a chance to grasp a trace of... the void... or to put it another way, the ’Power of Space’?’

The first time this speculation had surfaced in his mind, even someone as composed as Qin Fang had felt his heart race!

’As the saying goes, time is honored... but space is king!’

’If his Divine Techniques could truly give birth to a trace of the Power of Space...’

’Even a mere trace... would be enough to bring about a world-shaking change in his abilities!’

’But once I reach the Grotto Heaven realm, won’t I directly grasp the Power of Space anyway?’

’It doesn’t matter. If I can master a power at the Fifth Realm that others can only grasp at the Seventh... then by the time I reach the Seventh Realm, won’t my control be that much greater?’

’Either way, there are only benefits and no drawbacks!’

’And if I happen to get a Leaf Skill like ’Instant Movement’... I’d really hit the jackpot.’

That was why Qin Fang was so eager to obtain more Treasures containing the Power of the Void.

...It was just like during the process of Condensing Gang; the more solidified the True Gang, the more powerful the resulting Divine Power Seed.

Qin Fang believed that the larger his ’Void Realm’ was now, the higher his chances of eventually obtaining Spatial Divine Techniques would be!

...These thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and his hand was already closing in on the small grass.

But as a result, the space around it twisted. Qin Fang felt his fingers go numb, and at the same time, his Nine-Layered Abyss Water Armor vibrated sharply... His hand was repelled before he even touched the grass.

Qin Fang frowned. In the next instant, a whoosh tore through the air as the giant elephant’s trunk attacked once more.

Qin Fang’s figure blurred, evading the blow.

With a thought, he sent his Divine Sense through the Void Realm to envelop the white elephant’s head.

He spread out an Invisible Domain, attempting to seize the grass directly.

The result was... predictable. It was like trying to move a mountain; the little grass didn’t budge an inch.

’Looks like I’ll have to kill this white elephant to get it.’

’...Perhaps the true trial only begins now?’

The thoughts flashed through Qin Fang’s mind. No longer hesitating, his body erupted with power as he brought his fist down in a thunderous blow.

A force of one and a half million pounds smashed into the giant elephant.

The giant elephant’s Demon Gang shuddered violently, but its Physique was clearly terrifyingly robust. It merely staggered, a vicious glint appearing in its eyes as it let out a BELLOW and swung its head to ram Qin Fang.

Qin Fang dodged.

He fully unleashed his Profound Nether Nature. In the blink of an eye, dark Ice Crystals began to drift down from the air.
