A trace of terror flashed in the Blue Flood Dragon’s eyes; it wanted to dodge, but found that its physical body simply couldn’t keep up with the speed of the Sword Qi.

It could only push the blue scales on its body to their limit, hoping to resist this attack with its tough scales.

However, all of this was in vain.

Pfft.

The Sword Qi slashed onto the Blue Flood Dragon’s body without any obstruction, encountering no effective resistance.

The Blue Flood Dragon’s entire body violently shook, and the blue light Entanglement around it instantly dimmed, then completely vanished.

Immediately after, the Blue Flood Dragon’s massive body crashed heavily onto the snow, letting out a dull thud that kicked up a sky full of snow dust.

Just like the Demon Beast killed earlier, the Blue Flood Dragon’s corpse did not remain for long after falling; instead, it transformed into a white mist, slowly dissipating into the air.

Only a fist-sized blue demon pearl was left where it fell.

"How... how powerful that Sword Qi is!" Qing Ying stood behind, witnessing this scene firsthand, and exclaimed in admiration.

Fang Hong had clearly just casually slashed out a sword, without using any complex sword moves, yet he could unleash such terrifying power.

Even a Peak Immortal King Blue Flood Dragon couldn’t withstand a single blow; this strength was too terrifying!

Fang Hong retracted his soul severing sword, casually picked up the blue demon pearl, and put it into his storage bag.

His sword strike just now seemed simple and unadorned, but it actually contained two Great Dao.

It was precisely the unique sword Dao Techniques created by Fang Hong, who had fused the Law of Time and the Law of Light—"Shattering Years."

When the Sword Qi landed on the Blue Flood Dragon, the Law of Time instantly erupted, accelerating the dissipation of Immortal Qi within the Blue Flood Dragon’s body.

In just a brief moment, it stripped away all its Immortal Qi and vitality, which allowed Fang Hong to kill it so easily.

After dealing with the Blue Flood Dragon, the three came to the edge of the cliff and gazed into the distance.

On the other side of the snow mountain, on the distant horizon, a large expanse of lush green forest appeared. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

The forest stretched endlessly, covered by dense Immortal Qi, subtly exuding a mysterious aura.

"There’s such a large forest in the distance; perhaps that’s the core area of this ruin," Su Shan speculated, looking at the forest.

"Let’s go, we’ll continue forward and check out that forest," Fang Hong nodded.

The cold winds on the snow mountain had already helped him and Su Shan cultivate the first layer of the Calamity Devouring Divine Art.

Their physical body had already adapted to this level of tempering, and staying on the snow mountain would no longer be of much help for Cultivation.

To cultivate the second layer of the Calamity Devouring Divine Art, they had to experience a calamity even more intense and violent than the cold winds.

Afterward, Fang Hong and the other two no longer lingered and headed down the snow mountain.

After another two hours of travel, Fang Hong and the two finally completely left the range of the snow mountain and stepped into that vibrant forest.

Upon entering the forest, a denser Immortal Qi immediately assailed them; breathing it in, they felt refreshed all over, and their Immortal Qi became more active.

The concentration of Immortal Qi here was even comparable to the core areas of some top Dao Lineages.

"Such dense Immortal Qi, could this relic space truly be left behind by an Immortal Emperor-level expert?" Fang Hong pondered inwardly.

As thoughts swirled in his mind, Fang Hong once again took out the immortal settling disk.

In such a forest with abundant Immortal Qi, there must be many rare immortal herbs growing.

The three carefully moved through the forest, their gazes vigilantly observing their surroundings.

However, after walking for a while, they didn’t find the expected immortal herbs; instead, after passing through a dense patch of trees, they were blocked by a group of uninvited guests.

These were the first group of Demon Beasts Fang Hong and the two encountered after entering the forest.

At this moment, Fang Hong and the two were completely surrounded by ten stout Monkey Yao Beasts, forming an encirclement.

Each of these Monkey Yao Beasts was three to four zhang tall, with robust figures, standing there like small mountains.

Their entire bodies were covered in thick black fur, their limbs were strong and powerful, and their scarlet eyes stared at Fang Hong and the two, emitting a ferocious aura.

The aura emanating from each of these ten Monkey Yao Beasts had reached the level of Peak Immortal King, even stronger than the Blue Flood Dragon on the snow mountain!

As soon as the monkey group saw Fang Hong and the two, they became exceptionally agitated and violent, roaring and pouncing forward, as if they intended to tear the three to shreds.

Fang Hong gently waved his palm, and the Great Dao Power of Fierce Wind instantly surged out from within him.

The palm wind, carrying biting wind blades, transformed into countless incredibly sharp blades, slashing towards the three Monkey Yao Beasts at the very front.

With a few soft "pupu" sounds, the three Monkey Yao Beasts didn’t even have time to scream before they were sliced into several pieces by the wind blades, dying on the spot.

These Monkey Yao Beasts were also formed by some ancient restriction; after their deaths, they left no corpses, only a yellow demon pearl in their original spot.

On the other side, Su Shan saw the remaining Monkey Yao Beasts continuing to pounce, so she immediately raised her hands, condensing brilliant golden Immortal Qi at her fingertips.

Two golden beams of light shot out abruptly, incredibly fast, accurately hitting the heads of two charging Monkey Yao Beasts.

With two dull thuds, the heads of those two Monkey Yao Beasts were directly blasted off by the golden light beams, their bodies fell limply to the ground, also turning into two yellow demon pearls.

Qing Ying was not to be outdone; she quickly formed hand seals, activating the Wood Spirit Great Dao and the Profound Gold Great Dao within her body.

In an instant, several thick golden wooden vines burst out from the ground, firmly wrapping around the Monkey Yao Beasts’ limbs before violently tightening.

With the sound of cracking bones, two Monkey Yao Beasts were torn apart alive by the golden wooden vines, also leaving behind two demon pearls.

In just a few breaths, these dozens of aggressive Monkey Yao Beasts were easily dealt with by Fang Hong and the two.

The three exchanged smiles, walked forward, picked up the demon pearls scattered on the ground one by one, and divided them.

After putting away the demon pearls, Fang Hong and the two continued searching for treasures in the vast forest... Unbeknownst to them, after walking for most of the day, the immortal settling disk, which had been still, suddenly vibrated violently.

The pointer on the disk spun wildly, finally completing a full circle and pointing steadily in one direction.

"The immortal settling disk is showing such a strong anomaly; there must be immortal herbs over ten thousand years old nearby."

Fang Hong looked at the continuously vibrating immortal settling disk, his face showing great joy.

Su Shan and Qing Ying, hearing this, also had expectant looks in their eyes.

Afterward, Fang Hong and the two continued cautiously in the direction indicated by the immortal settling disk’s pointer.

Before long, the three arrived at the source indicated by the immortal settling disk.

The sight before them made the three slightly startled; a towering mountain peak stood abruptly in front.

The mountain peak was majestic and perilous, shrouded in mist, exuding an unfathomable aura.

At the foot of the mountain grew many towering ancient trees, with thick trunks and luxuriant branches and leaves.

Among these ancient trees, a relatively shorter ancient tree was particularly eye-catching, instantly attracting the attention of Fang Hong and the two.

That ancient tree was only four or five zhang tall, appearing somewhat inconspicuous compared to the surrounding towering trees, but its appearance was very peculiar.

Its leaves were emerald green, as if containing endless vitality.

Even more astonishing was that the entire ancient tree was enveloped in a faint golden light.

The golden light was soft and sacred; from a distance, it looked like a rare treasure, exuding an extraordinary aura.
