After breaking through to the fourth level of the Body Refining Realm, Tang Ao started to contemplate. As of now, his trip to the primordial forest could be said to be quite fruitful. Should he leave now?
Thinking to that point, Tang Ao leapt out of the spring water. After putting on the clothes he placed on the ground, he started to investigate the situation within the cave.
Within the cave, it was a scene of desolation. The small snakes that originally coiled around the cave had already mostly disappeared. Most of them, for the sake of survival, or because they feared Tang Ao's might, slipped away through the cracks in the rocks at the entrance of the cave. The plants that grew on the ground and on the walls were all destroyed due to the great battle between Tang Ao and the Illusionary Sound Python. Only natural treasures that were over a hundred years old could survive under the poisonous mist of the Illusionary Sound Python.
"I wonder if the Emperor Bird is still waiting for me at the entrance of the cave." Tang Ao bitterly smiled for a while. Killing the Origin realm Illusionary Sound Python before was completely out of luck. The Emperor Bird did not have a heavily injured body like the Illusionary Sound Python, nor was it in the period of laying eggs. Even if Tang Ao advanced to the fourth level of the Body Refining Realm, he was still not the Emperor Bird's opponent.
Tang Ao used the Light Body Technique and leapt towards the entrance of the cave. In a few breaths of time, he arrived at the entrance of the cave.
A bird cry rang out and a boundless might came from the valley outside the cave. Tang Ao inhaled a breath of cold air. He felt that the blood in his entire body was suppressed to an extreme point. If it was a normal martial artist at the fourth level of the Body Refining Realm, they would probably tremble under the pressure.
"Dammit, why hasn't the Emperor Bird left yet?!" Tang Ao used the Ancient God Moving Sky Technique. Stellar energy instantly condensed around his entire body and then attached to his ears. Only then did he feel the pain in his eardrums lessen a bit. The pressure brought by the Flamingo was too great. Even though Tang Ao was the reincarnation of the Demon Lord, his cultivation level was too low.
Peeking through a crack in the stone at the entrance of the cave, one could see the huge body of the Fire Emperor Bird standing in the middle of the valley. Outside the cave, those little snakes at the first and second tier of the Body Refining Realm were all dead. Their blood was everywhere, and their corpses were scattered randomly in the valley. All of the little snake demonic beasts had died without exception. All of them had their gallbladders pecked out by the Fire Emperor Bird. It was a tragic sight.
As if it had sensed Zhao Feng's spying, the Fire Emperor Bird let out an angry cry, and its massive body slammed into the cave. Tang Ao reflexively gathered all the Stellar Energy in his body. His feet felt light as he fled into the depths of the cave.
"Boom!" A huge sound rang out, and the entire mountain the cave was on shook. Large amounts of dust poured down from the cave, and even Tang Ao's sect robes became stained with dust. Outside the cave, a few huge rocks rolled down. Not only did the Fire Emperor Bird's attack not open the cave, it even caused the rocks blocking the cave to sink even deeper.
Even with the cave as a cover, Tang Ao still felt his blood surge. The Fire Emperor Bird's power was too strong. Tang Ao could only temporarily avoid it.
"Looks like I've truly angered this Origin Realm demonic beast." Tang Ao leaned against the side of the stone wall. Even though he dodged the huge shockwave in time, some of the shockwave still hit Tang Ao's body. If not for the fact that Tang Ao had just advanced to the 4th level of the Body Refining Realm, he would have received some light injuries from the shockwave.
Following that, the Fire Emperor Bird did not give up on its desire to kill Tang Ao. After it opened its huge wings, it repeatedly used its greatest power to slam into the cave. In an instant, Tang Ao felt the world spin around him. Huge rocks kept rolling down from the cave entrance, and the Fire Emperor Bird continued to slam into the cave several times. It only stopped when it was completely exhausted.
"The Fire Emperor Bird also seems to have sensed that something is wrong with the Illusionary Sound Python. It wants to take this cave for itself. Otherwise, with just me, a martial artist at the 4th level of the Body Refining Realm, how could I attract such anger from the Fire Emperor Bird?" Tang Ao bitterly smiled.
After a while, the Fire Emperor Bird also seemed to have sensed that the cave could not be opened temporarily. So, it brought its exhausted body and returned to its original position. It continuously circled above the cave, continuing to search for valuable food within a circumference of a few miles.
Tang Ao clenched his teeth. Although the entrance to the cave was blocked by huge rocks, Tang Ao still had a way to get out. However, once he got out, he would meet such a strong opponent like the Fire Emperor Bird. The only thing he could do now was to return to the cave to cultivate and observe the situation.
"The little snakes in the cave can be used to make snake soup. The natural treasures and fresh spring water should be enough for me to last for a month. If I can recover to the Sea of Souls Realm, then I won't have to worry about these trivial things anymore." Tang Ao bitterly smiled for a while before returning to the cave and soaking in the spring water again.
Tang Ao silently practiced the Ancient God Moving Sky Art. He closed his eyes and focused on moving his Qi and blood. The first level of the Ancient God Moving Sky Art corresponded to the Body Refining Realm. Through breathing, one would be able to control their Qi and blood to the point of being able to control their Qi and blood, forming the initial power of a martial artist.
The golden spring eye was extremely helpful for training the body. Tang Ao could only feel that his body was continuously strengthening. As time passed, his internal organs would feel a burning sensation, and the surface of his skin would feel a warm feeling. This golden spring eye was extremely beneficial to the surface of his skin, blood, flesh, bones, and even his internal organs.
After Tang Ao practiced the Ancient God Moving Sky Art, he felt his entire body start to heat up. His internal organs felt like they were on fire. This was because the Ancient God Moving Sky Art had accelerated the absorption rate of the spring water's energy.
Three days later, Tang Ao opened his eyes again.
He jumped out of the spring water. His muscles bulged, and his entire body exuded a powerful aura.
Tang Ao could now compete with a martial artist at the third tier of the Body Refining Realm with just his physical strength. This meant that when he fought Jiang Qingyi, without using his Life Soul or Stellar Energy, he could fight Jiang Qingyi, who had two eighth-tier Heaven's Fate Souls, to a draw. He would not be at a disadvantage, and might even win.
His physical body could compete with a martial artist at the third tier of the Body Refining Realm. This meant that not only was the surface of his skin as hard as steel, invulnerable, but it also meant that his muscles and bones had been strengthened to an unbelievable level. Even his internal organs had been greatly strengthened. If he used his Stellar Energy and Life Soul, Tang Ao could even fight a martial artist at the fifth tier of the Body Refining Realm, or even a martial artist at the sixth tier of the Body Refining Realm.
"It's been three days. It should be time to leave." Tang Ao opened his eyes and immediately leaped out of the spring eye, running out of the cave abode.
He looked out of the crack in the stone.
"That damned Fire Emperor Bird. It still hasn't left." Tang Ao frowned. It had been almost half a month since he had come to this cave abode to cultivate. This Fire Emperor Bird actually stayed here all day, guarding this cave abode.
The Fire Emperor Bird had really taken a fancy to this cave abode.
