Afterwards, Ye Yunfei activated a secret technique from the Heavenly Demon Blood-Refining Body Art to completely refine and preserve the Bloodline Essence of these several hundred Flaming Wolves.
Then, Ye Yunfei's Soul Power extended outwards, sensing over great distances.
"A Demonic Lion! Strength at the eighth level of Beast Emperor."
Immediately, Ye Yunfei discovered a Demonic Lion moving amidst a forest not far away. Ye Yunfei's figure flashed, and in moments, he arrived in front of this Demonic Lion. With one punch, he smashed its head open, then refined its Bloodline Essence.
With Ye Yunfei's current strength, he could swiftly kill even an opponent at the late Foundation Establishment realm. So, demonic beasts possessing Beast Emperor strength could only be slaughtered at Ye Yunfei's hands.
Moreover, the perception capability of Ye Yunfei's Soul Power was exceptionally powerful, allowing him to quickly locate places where demonic beasts were present. Combined with Ye Yunfei's astonishing movement speed, his rate of hunting demonic beasts was incredibly fast. Additionally, within this Crystal Mine Minor World, many demonic beasts moved in packs, which greatly facilitated Ye Yunfei's hunting.
A day later.
Ye Yunfei had already hunted several thousand demonic beasts, refining and preserving all of their Bloodline Essence! These several thousand demonic beasts all possessed Beast Emperor strength.
"That should be about enough," Ye Yunfei counted his haul and muttered to himself. "It's time to cultivate the sixth layer of the Heavenly Demon Blood-Refining Body Art."
He then returned once more to that mountain cave and entered the Phantom Tower.
"Elder Huang, help me refine a batch of pills," Ye Yunfei said to Huang Shang.
"Of course," Huang Shang emerged from the pill cauldron.
"Elder Huang, it looks like your power has improved significantly," Ye Yunfei said, his gaze sweeping over Huang Shang.
Originally, Huang Shang existed in a Soul Body state. But now, he appeared remarkably solid, his entire body shimmering with an eerie black light and exuding an intimidating aura. Not long ago, within that underground world, Huang Shang had absorbed a vast quantity of pure Yin energy, and the effect was clearly visible.
"Haha, that's right. Ye Yunfei, I have now preliminarily formed a Ghost Body. In the future, I will no longer be in an illusory Soul Body state but gradually transform into a solid entity. The Ghost Body can be insubstantial or substantial, large or small, and can transform as I wish, capable of a thousand changes. Now that I think about it, it seems it might not matter if I don't remake a physical body. Roaming the world with this Ghost Body might grant even greater freedom. Ye Yunfei, honestly, I must truly thank you. If I hadn't met you, I would still be a weak and frail Remnant Soul hiding inside this pill cauldron."
Huang Shang laughed heartily. Having achieved the initial formation of his Ghost Body, he was extremely excited.
"No. A Ghost Body has the freedom of a Ghost Body, but a physical body has its own profound mysteries. After you remake your physical body, you can both practice ghost cultivation techniques and cultivate spiritual power. You'll be a dual cultivator of ghost and spirit arts, and your power is bound to multiply," Ye Yunfei said.
"Alright. Ye Yunfei, I believe you. Your knowledge and insight far surpass my own."
Huang Shang nodded.
"Of course. There may be many warriors in the world, but when it comes to knowledge and insight, there are probably few who can compare with my master."
Hu Miao said proudly. She was aware of Ye Yunfei's origins, so her words were not exaggerated.
"Enough idle chatter. Let's start refining pills now."
Ye Yunfei took out a large batch of spiritual herbs and began refining pills together with Huang Shang.
"Elder Huang, your pill refining skills are now at the level where you can refine ninth-grade spiritual pills. So, refine a batch of ninth-grade spiritual pills for me. Here are the pill formulas."
Ye Yunfei said to Huang Shang, waving his hand and sending over a dozen pill formulas directly into Huang Shang's Soul Sea. These formulas were all related to body tempering. Ye Yunfei himself planned to refine a batch of precious pills.
Thus, Ye Yunfei and Huang Shang began refining pills.
Several days later.
"That should be about enough," Ye Yunfei said, looking at the large pile of pills before him.
Nearly half of this pile of pills were precious pills. The other half were ninth-grade spiritual pills.
"At last, I can begin cultivating the sixth layer of the Heavenly Demon Blood-Refining Body Art!" Ye Yunfei said excitedly.
His figure flickered, arriving at a corner within the Phantom Tower. In this corner stood two hundred stone sarcophagi. Inside each sarcophagus lay the corpse of an Ancient Demon Race individual.
Ye Yunfei waved a hand, and the lid of one sarcophagus opened.
Shoom!
A flash of demonic light shot out from the sarcophagus.
This demonic light directly charged into Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea.
"Die, brat!" A phantom-like Soul Body of an Ancient Demon Race being appeared in Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea, shrieking viciously.
Boom…
A terrifying burst of Soul Power slammed towards this Ancient Demon Race Soul Body.
Poof!
The Ancient Demon Race Soul Body hadn't even had time to react before it was smashed to pieces.
All the Ancient Demon Race corpses within these sarcophagi had left behind a Remnant Soul, waiting to revive. However, the level of Ye Yunfei's current Soul Power was simply too strong. For Ye Yunfei, these Ancient Demon Race Remnant Souls were utterly powerless, feeble as ants.
Subsequently, Ye Yunfei opened the lids of all two hundred sarcophagi. He annihilated the Remnant Souls of all two hundred Ancient Demon Race corpses. Then, he began refining their Bloodline Essence.
More than half a day later, the Bloodline Essence of all two hundred Ancient Demon Race corpses had finally been refined.
Ye Yunfei waved his hand, and a massive iron cauldron appeared before him. Then, he threw the Bloodline Essence of the two hundred Ancient Demon Race, the Bloodline Essence of the several thousand demonic beasts, and the part of the Jiao Prince's Bloodline Essence he had obtained previously, all into the large iron cauldron.
Next, he tossed all the pills he and Huang Shang had refined over the past few days into the iron cauldron.
Then, he flicked a finger.
Earth Flame emerged from his fingertip and fell into the iron cauldron.
Whoosh…
Violent flames began to burn fiercely within the great iron cauldron.
Finally, Ye Yunfei leaped up and jumped into the cauldron.
Time slowly passed.
The raging fire continued to blaze within the great iron cauldron.
It wasn't until more than ten days later that the flames within the iron cauldron finally began to slowly die down.
Then.
At a certain moment.
Ye Yunfei's body slowly rose from within the iron cauldron.
His body radiated dazzling golden light, as if forged from gold.
Even his bones, flesh, tendons, vessels, and internal organs had all turned brilliantly golden!
With the slightest stirring of his blood and Qi, terrifying sounds like mountain avalanches and tsunami-like roars emanated from him, reminiscent of tides rising and falling, and volcanic eruptions.
Moreover, his entire body was faintly enveloped in a layer of divine flame, as if bathing in a sea of fire.
Boom…
Suddenly, one of Ye Yunfei's arms swept out violently, piercing the air with a sonic boom.
Then.
This arm continuously expanded, thickened, and lengthened!
In the blink of an eye, it had reached thirty meters in length!
It had thickened two to three hundred times!
It resembled a golden flood dragon soaring across the sky, radiating an extremely terrifying power pressure that caused this space to tremble faintly.
