The muscular man was Fang Huan.
Before he entered the Secret Mystical Realm, he was a late-stage Foundation Establishment rogue cultivator.
After killing a green wolf demonic beast, he unexpectedly embarked on the path of absorbing demonic energy whirlpools to strengthen himself.
However, Fang Huan was cautious.
Before he became strong enough, he had been quietly developing.
Wearing a black robe to hide the traces of demonization.
Killing low-level demon beasts and absorbing the energy whirlpools day and night.
He would stay away from the disciples of the major sects and attack lone rogue cultivators who had turned into demons. He would only kill those who were weaker than him.
After absorbing the demonic energy whirlpool, he could control his demonic transformation and allow his body to develop in a perfect direction.
The evolution path of the demonic energy whirlpool was completely different from normal cultivation.
The cultivation speed of Archean Eon World cultivators was very slow.
Talent, cultivation techniques, resources, enlightenment…
All kinds of conditions were indispensable.
However, in the Secret Mystical Realm, it was as easy as eating and drinking to increase one's strength by absorbing the demonic energy whirlpools.
As long as he continued to devour demonic qi, he could exchange it for a real increase in his realm.
The more demonic energy he absorbed, the more Fang Huan understood.
He was secretly shocked. He knew that he had discovered an extremely powerful path of evolution.
This made him even more cautious.
Finally, Fang Huan's growth was successful.
In just half a month, he became a peak Nascent Soul cultivator.
Fang Huan knew that.
In the entire Secret Mystical Realm, there was no one with a higher cultivation level than him.
After reaching the peak Nascent Soul stage, Fang Huan stopped absorbing the demonic energy vortex because after reaching this realm, no matter how many demon beasts he devoured, he would not be able to increase his cultivation.
The cave abode of a mighty figure had appeared, and the sky was filled with strange phenomena. Fang Huan sensed something and went to this place.
When he saw the corpses of the seven Nascent Soul demons outside the cave, he was very angry.
This was clearly an opportunity that belonged to him!
Fang Huan had already guessed the secret of the mystical realm.
The expert who left this mystic realm behind must be a mighty demon!
Although the artifacts in the cave abode were powerful, the true inheritance of the Great Dao was outside the cave abode!
Cultivators could only become the strongest in the mystical realm by absorbing the demonic energy whirlpool.
In the end, he would rely on his powerful strength to seize the magic artifact that the senior demon left behind!
This senior demon must have been an ordinary rogue cultivator like him back then, but he rose up from the ashes and finally became a goliath.
They deliberately left the real inheritance outside the cave abode and placed it on the demon that the disciples of the big sects looked down on so that they could find a casual cultivator to become their heir!
And he, Fang Huan, was the chosen one!
Fang Huan's heart surged with pride.
As the strongest expert in the mystical realm, who could stop him?!
The seven demons guarding the cave abode had seven streams of demonic energy on their bodies.
As long as he fused the seven streams of Origin Qi, he would be able to achieve perfection.
Now that the seven demons had been killed, the demonic energy from their bodies naturally fell into the hands of these disciples.
Fang Huan's face, which was covered in green scales, gradually darkened as he looked at Hong Yu and the others. His bright golden pupils flickered with unconcealed killing intent.
On his forehead, there were two obvious protruding bones that were about to break out of the skin.
If it was a snake demon, it would be a sign of a dragon transformation.
"Roar!"
Fang Huan, who was guarding the entrance of the hall, let out a roar.
The sound waves of mana spread out, forming ripples in the air.
Within a radius of 90 meters, the bodies of the disciples below the Golden Core stage exploded and turned into a bloody mist.
Unless they had defensive magic artifacts, they wouldn't even be able to withstand Fang Huan's roar.
Hong Yu, the Golden Core cultivator, was also not feeling well. Blood flowed from the corner of Hong Yu's mouth, and his face was pale. His heart was in turmoil.
He knew about Yue Tianya's plan to raise the King of Poison.
However, now, it seemed that this King of Poison could no longer be suppressed!
The difference in quality of the magic in the body of a disciple of a major sect compared to a rogue cultivator was like clouds and mud.
Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would find it difficult to deal with a Golden Core disciple.
However, the situation of the rogue cultivator in front of him was completely different.
After absorbing so much demonic energy, Fang Huan's body had already begun to change. Even the magic in his body had been converted into special demonic power.
Fang Huan could no longer be treated as an ordinary wandering cultivator!
He was a true Nascent Soul demon!
The disciples of Immortal Slaying Mountain were not good at direct combat. Without any prior training, they were no match for this demon.
Hong Yu's mind raced, and in an instant, he understood everything. He shouted in a hurry, "Everyone, leave quickly! Let's go find Senior Brother Yue. He has already absorbed the Origin Qi of seven Nascent Soul demons. He can definitely fight against this beast!"
After saying that, Hong Yu took out a magic artifact and placed it on his head before taking the lead to run into the depths of the cave abode.
The disciples of the major sects were all smart. The surviving cultivators immediately understood Hong Yu's meaning and activated their escape techniques to follow behind him.
Fang Huan wanted to kill him, but after hearing Hong's words, he changed his mind.
He had come here for the inheritance of the immortals. Now that he knew who had the Origin Qi of the seven Nascent Soul demons, he naturally needed someone to lead him.
As for whether there would be a trap…
Fang Huan didn't care, because peak Nascent Soul cultivators didn't need to worry about such things.
The disciples of the major sects ran very quickly. Many of them did not hesitate to burn their lifespan, afraid that they would lead the way too slowly and that the demons behind them would be dissatisfied.
Fang Huan turned into a black gust of wind and chased after the disciples.
Along the way, he crushed all the cultivators he met into meat paste.
In a short while, the Immortal Slaying Mountain disciples, who had managed to escape with great difficulty, returned to the main hall. They even brought back a big demon.
Fang Huan's golden pupils darkened as he looked at the scene in the hall.
Before he could identify who Senior Brother Yue who came from a major sect was, his gaze was attracted by the things on the table.
Even though he was a rogue cultivator, he could recognize what the three artifacts were.
Without hesitation, Fang Huan reached out and grabbed the sapling.
Hong Yu revealed a look of delight. He knew how powerful the Dao Fire was. This fiendish demon actually took the initiative to reach out and touch it. That was really…
Really...
The smile on Hong Yu's face froze.
He saw Fang Huan pick up the sapling of the World Tree as easily as though he was picking up an ordinary wooden stick.
This...this wasn't right, was it?
Hong Yu's eyes widened as he subconsciously activated his sight technique. The flames of the Dao Fire surrounding the table automatically avoided Fang Huan's body, allowing him to take the sapling of the World Tree.
"The key to avoiding the Dao Fire lies in the demonic energy whirlpool! This is the work of that mighty demon!" Hong Yu blurted out.
The owner of the mystical realm had refined the Dao Fire. Only cultivators who had absorbed demonic Qi could avoid the Dao Fire on their own!
The key to opening the inheritance lay within the demon that everyone looked down on.
This was simply, simply…
After understanding everything, Hong Yu felt that the senior was unreasonable.
"Fellow Daoist Ling!"
Yue Tianya's reaction was extremely fast. With a fierce shout, he threw the bronze cauldron out.
"Go and get the inheritance. The immortal robe is yours, and the World Tree is mine!"
Inside the bronze cauldron, there were seven streams of Demon's Origin Qi.
"Understood!"
Ling Yufei took the cauldron, and the two of them once again worked together.
Yue Tianya rushed towards the demonized Fang Huan while she picked up the bronze cauldron and rushed towards the table!
