Amid the ruins of the former Fourth Alliance, numerous alliance cultivators swarmed out, engaging in a life-and-death battle with countless fierce beasts.
Traversing the crumbling walls and ruins, terrifying beasts, some as tall as several dozen feet and others over a hundred feet, emitted a chilling demonic aura.
Gu Fang's blood and qi surged around him like a flood.
As he struck with his fist, the blood and qi outside his body condensed into a thick mist, forming a towering and terrifying mountain in midair, which then pressed down heavily on a third-grade peak beast.
The beast roared furiously, its colossal body, over a hundred feet tall, lunged fiercely at Gu Fang.
In an instant,
The descending mountain crushed down, causing the beast's arm to shatter instantly, its bones crushed to powder.
Following this,
Gu Fang stepped into the air, his body moving like lightning. His right fist slammed into the beast's chest, and the overwhelming force instantly pulverized its heart.
"Boom—"
The beast let out an unwilling roar before finally collapsing to the ground.
Seeing this, the other cultivators' morale soared.
"Commander Gu's powers are invincible!"
"The Mountain Suppression Immortal Fist truly is a top-tier third-grade technique, its power is terrifying, capable of killing even a third-grade consummate beast in a few moves!"
"Ha, what is a third-grade consummate beast compared to this? Let us not forget, half a month ago, Commander Gu single-handedly fought and killed an early fourth-grade beast."
The gazes directed at Gu Fang were filled with admiration for the strong.
With a cultivation at the consummate third grade, killing an early fourth-grade beast with his own strength, without assistance or external aid, was an astounding feat, worthy of being called the strongest in the alliance.
Even the most senior and formerly strongest commander, Ji Xuan, had never recorded such a solo kill of a fourth-grade beast.
After slaying the third-grade peak beast, Gu Fang absorbed its essence and then extended his senses to the maximum, issuing an order: "Within ten days, clear all the beasts from the Fourth Alliance's territory."
"If any consummate third-grade or higher-grade beasts appear, do not challenge them on your own, report immediately, and I will handle it personally!"
"Understood!"
All the cultivators bowed in acceptance of the order.
Subsequently, the army of cultivators originally belonging to the Ninth Alliance began a meticulous search, eradicating any beast traces they found immediately.
Gu Fang also operated within the Fourth Alliance, though he only targeted beasts of third grade or higher, dismissing ordinary beasts as beneath his notice.
Since the advent of the Heavenly Court chat group, the overall strength of the Ninth Alliance had significantly increased, now capable of exterminating third-grade beasts.
However, dealing with such beasts would inevitably result in casualties.
Focusing solely on second-grade beasts would pose no significant problems.
...
Half a day later.
A terrifying aura suddenly erupted, and an urgent message came through the communication talisman.
"Reporting to the commander, we have detected a fourth-grade beast. Please send reinforcements immediately!"
Hearing the urgency, Gu Fang's expression remained unchanged. He stomped heavily on the ground with his left foot, and as the ground cracked from his force, he shot into the sky like an arrow.
"Boom!"
His figure tore through the sky, reaching extreme speeds.
This was the power of a consummate third-grade cultivator, or more accurately, a cultivator who had perfected organ refining.
Elsewhere,
A fierce beast resembling a giant ape was fiercely battling several cultivators, with talismanic firepower blazing in support.
However, even talismanic weapons capable of destroying small mountains seemed powerless against the fourth-grade beast, unable to break through its defenses, let alone kill it.
A floating sword unleashed sharp sword energy, repeatedly cutting into the beast's flesh, only to leave shallow marks.
The giant ape beast seemed thoroughly enraged, its powerful arms breaking the sword energy. The force it released was so intense that the sword let out a mournful cry, almost breaking.
Seeing his damaged sword, Yang You's face changed slightly.
"Damn, this fourth-grade beast's defense is too tough. My mid-grade third-grade flying sword can't break through. If only my Taixuan Immortal Manual was perfected, combined with the sword technique and a mid-grade third-grade immortal sword, I could definitely kill it!"
Yang You thought regretfully.
Since the advent of the Heavenly Court chat group, he had been accumulating offering points and, once the third-grade market opened, he immediately exchanged for the top-tier third-grade technique "Taixuan Immortal Manual" and a matching sword technique.
To maximize the sword technique's power, Yang You also exchanged for a mid-grade third-grade immortal sword.
With these three treasures, Yang You was fully equipped from head to toe, and though his cultivation remained at the early third grade, his strength had vastly increased.
Even when facing a late third-grade beast, Yang You was confident he could kill it.
But now,
He faced not a late third-grade beast but a terrifying fourth-grade beast. No matter how strong he was, he could not transcend his grade to defeat it.
All Yang You could do now was hold off the beast, waiting for Gu Fang to arrive.
The other third-grade cultivators were equally serious, bearing immense pressure.
A fourth-grade beast was not something a few early third-grade cultivators could withstand.
At this moment, a surge of powerful blood and qi swept in, and a commanding voice reached Yang You and the others.
"Stand down, leave this to me!"
Hearing this,
Yang You and the others retreated in unison, immediately seeing Gu Fang approach through the air, his condensed blood and qi forming a mountain that crushed down.
Top-tier third-grade technique!
Mountain Suppression Immortal Fist!
The giant ape beast sensed a strong threat, its face twisted in rage, letting out an ear-piercing roar. Its steel-like arm shook the space, instantly dispersing the mountain formed by blood and qi.
"Good timing!"
Gu Fang's expression was solemn, his eyes filled with battle intent. The power of his perfected organ refining surged within him, an immense aura radiating from his body.
In an instant,
The two clashed fiercely.
The fourth-grade beast's body was incredibly strong, able to withstand even heavenly thunder. Meanwhile, the consummate organ-refining cultivator wielded unmatched extraordinary power.
As soon as they met, waves of violent energy rippled out.
Watching the battle, some third-grade cultivators were in awe, "This is Commander Gu's true strength. Can body cultivation really reach such heights?"
A consummate third-grade cultivator contending with an early fourth-grade beast was truly astonishing.
Yang You responded solemnly, "The cultivation system in the Heavenly Court chat group has no inherent superiority. Although there are other consummate organ-refining cultivators in the alliance, who else can face an early fourth-grade beast alone like Commander Gu?"
It was not body cultivation itself that was powerful but Gu Fang himself.
Hearing this, the others all nodded in agreement.
