The hill suddenly exploded, and a sharp sound pierced through the air. Immediately, a long howl pierced through the clouds. The howl was vigorous and sharp, and it carried a strong aura. A figure soared into the sky like a sword radiance.
Hundreds of meters in the air, Chen Zong's figure paused for a moment. Then, he slowly floated down, surrounded by a strong aura.
When Chen Zong landed on the ground like a feather, his strong aura was completely restrained, and no one could feel any fluctuation.
However, Chen Zong looked very happy. During this closed-door training, his cultivation had improved, and so had his strength.
During the time he left the Tai Yuan Sky Sect, Chen Zong's cultivation had improved to the Early Stage of the Fourth Tier of the Mortal Realm. He only needed one more aperture to reach the Middle Stage. Now that his aperture had been opened, he steadily stepped into the Middle Stage of the Fourth Tier of the Mortal Realm. Due to the help of the Spiritual Medicine in the Subworld, the improvement in body refining was more obvious than the improvement in Qi cultivation. He suddenly had a strength of 35 pounds.
Of course, the improvement in body refining was more comprehensive, but in terms of strength, it was more direct.
With a strength of 350,000 pounds and the improvement in other abilities, his body refining cultivation was now equivalent to the Sixth Tier of the Mortal Realm. He had completely surpassed his Qi cultivation.
"I must find a way to improve my Qi cultivation, or it will become my shortcoming," Chen Zong thought to himself.
Previously, his shortcoming was his physique, which led to the lack of Formless Sword Force. Now, his shortcoming was his Qi cultivation.
However, the reason he was able to advance so quickly in the Dao of Body Refinement was entirely because he'd obtained the inheritance of the Thousand Refinement Dao and experienced 10 levels of tempering, causing his body to be tempered over and over again. After that, he obtained the assistance of the corresponding spirit medicines for body refinement. If he were to rely solely on his own efforts to cultivate, it would take an unknown amount of time to attain his current realm.
"I'll find someone to refine the Nine Blood Rainbow into an elixir. By then, I can improve my body refining cultivation even faster," Chen Zong thought to himself. He looked at the sky and the surroundings, and after determining the direction, he continued forward.
He was going to the Earth Demon Abyss for this training.
As for the matter entrusted to him by Tongtian Jiandi, Chen Zong felt that he was not strong enough to intervene. A Profound Heaven Realm warrior was not someone to be trifled with.
…
The most important thing now was to improve himself. As for the matter of the Heavenly Master Sword Sect, he would make a trip to the Bright Sword Continent when the time came and take a look at the situation. It was just that after more than a thousand years, there was another strong enemy in the Profound Sky Realm. He did not know if they still existed.
Time flowed like water and sand. In the blink of an eye, a few months had passed.
"Brother Chen, it won't be long before we reach the Demon Suppressing Fortress." His name was Hua Wenjun, and he was someone that Chen Zong had met along the way. His name was Hua Wenjun, and he was someone that Chen Zong had met along the way.
That night, Chen Zong was barbecuing meat. Hua Wenjun and his sister were attracted by the aroma and thus got to know each other. When they found out that Chen Zong's destination was the Earth Demon Abyss, Hua Wenjun, who liked to make friends, suggested that they go together.
Although Chen Zong was used to traveling alone, it was not always the case. As long as he followed his heart, the three of them traveled together.
Hua Wenjun did not introduce him and his sister, nor did he ask about Chen Zong's background. He was very talkative, so along the way, it was often Hua Wenjun who spoke first.
Chen Zong was relatively less talkative. Due to his personality, Chen Zong was able to converse freely with Hua Wenjun due to the large number of ancient books he had read and his own experience.
Hua Wenjun's sister was called Hua Wenqing. She was a very quiet girl, as gentle as the breeze in the mountains, as gentle as the flowing water in the forest. Interacting with her made Chen Zong feel quite comfortable.
Hua Wenjun's cultivation was at the peak of the Fourth Tier of the Extreme Mortal Realm, while Hua Wenqing's cultivation was at the beginning of the Third Tier of the Extreme Mortal Realm. She did not look very old either. With such talent, she could indeed be called a top genius, or even a favored child.
"Earth Demon Abyss … …" Chen Zong's eyes flashed. It should be the last stop of this trip. As for where to go after the Earth Demon Abyss, Chen Zong did not have a goal.
"The Earth Demon Abyss is the only entrance and exit between the Underground Demon Race and Blue Waves Continent. If the Underground Demon Race and Underground Demon Race want to enter Blue Waves Continent, they have to go through the Earth Demon Abyss." Hua Wenjun spoke frankly with assurance, "Therefore, in order to resist the invasion of the Underground Demon Race and Underground Demon Race, all the major forces and powerhouses of Blue Waves Continent joined hands and built a fortress outside the Earth Demon Abyss. They named it the Demon Suppressing Fortress."
"Demon Suppressing Fortress." Chen Zong muttered. His Second Senior Brother Tang Guao was inside the Demon Suppressing Fortress.
"The Demon Suppressing Fortress is impregnable. It has already resisted the invasion of the Underground Demon Race and Underground Demon Race many times."
"I heard that there are Demon Hunters and Demon Suppressing Army in the Demon Suppressing Fortress, but I'm not very clear about the difference between the two. Can Brother Hua clear my doubts?" Chen Zong asked.
"The Demon Suppressing Army is an army. It was originally created by the Demon Suppressing Great Emperor. It has very strict discipline. Every Demon Suppressing Army soldier is a powerhouse among powerhouses. They are very powerful and can easily challenge those of a higher realm." Hua Wenjun's eyes emitted a blazing light. He seemed to yearn for it very much. "The Demon Hunters are a relatively loose organization. The nature of the two is somewhat similar, but they don't belong to the same level."
Simply speaking, the Demon Suppressing Army was higher than the Demon Hunters.
"No matter whether you want to become a Demon Hunter or join the Demon Suppressing Army, you need to pass a test. However, as long as you have enough strength and courage, you can basically become a Demon Hunter. However, the Demon Suppressing Army needs the elites of the elites, the powerhouses of the powerhouses. Every Demon Suppressing Army soldier is at least at the Extreme Mortal Realm."
Hearing Hua Wenjun, Chen Zong couldn't help but nod his head.
In this way, the Demon Suppressing Army was a high-end military force, and the Demon Hunters were relatively low-end.
"If you want to become a Demon Suppressing Army soldier, you must first become a Demon Hunter." Hua Wenjun said seriously.
"Brother's wish is to join the Demon Suppressing Army." Hua Wenqing said with a slight smile.
"I also don't know if I can join." Hua Wenjun said with a smile.
"What are the benefits of becoming a Demon Hunter or joining the Demon Suppressing Army?" Chen Zong asked again.
"Of course there are. Regardless of whether you are a Demon Hunter or a Demon Suppressing Army soldier, you can obtain merit points. And merit points can not only increase your rank, but can also be exchanged for martial arts, spiritual tools, spiritual medicines, pills, and so on." Hua Wenjun clearly understood. "In the Demon Suppressing Fortress, the value of merit points is even higher than spiritual sources. It is the most common currency. Not only can it be exchanged, but you can also hire powerhouses to do things for you. In short, as long as you have enough merit points, you can do many things in the Demon Suppressing Fortress."
Hearing this, Chen Zong couldn't help but nod his head.
The exchange of benefits had always been a method of intelligent life. It was a kind of instinct.
In the extreme west of the Blue Waves Continent, there was a stretch of desolation. Not even a blade of grass grew, and all life was extinguished. The ground was dry and cracked, and there was a kind of dark red color. It appeared thick and heavy.
Irregular big and small potholes, palm prints, fist prints, finger marks, terrifying claw marks … …
Countless marks remained on the ground, bearing witness to the great battles and killings of the past. The air was filled with an astonishing killing intent. This killing intent was very chaotic. It wasn't targeted at anyone, but anyone who stepped into it would be affected.
Simply speaking, if one's mind and will weren't strong enough, they would be disturbed and slowly become irritable. But at the same time, staying true to one's heart was also a kind of method to temper one's mind and will.
This level of chaotic killing intent was nothing to the three of them.
Stepping on the desolate ground that was covered in dried blood, Chen Zong and the other two walked quickly. Gradually, they saw an outline. It was a black-red outline.
Simple, heavy, vigorous, and vigorous!
It looked like a huge prismatic city, made up of countless walls, sentry towers, and all kinds of other buildings. It looked like a giant beast of slaughter that was in a deep slumber, able to resist everything.
The closer they got, the more oppressive Chen Zong felt. His heart was heavy, and even his heartbeat seemed to be affected.
"Brother Chen, people who come to the Demon Suppressing Fortress for the first time will feel uncomfortable. They will get used to it slowly." Hua Wenjun said with a smile.
Hua Wenjun knew more about the Demon Suppressing Fortress than Chen Zong.
Chen Zong nodded. He took a deep breath of the air that had a trace of strange smell. The ice-cold air entered his body, and he slowly calmed down.
With his outstanding potential and tyrannical physique, Chen Zong got used to it quickly. He no longer felt uncomfortable.
Hua Wenjun was secretly surprised that he got used to it so quickly. One should know that when he came to the Demon Suppressing Fortress for the first time, it took him more than ten days to get used to it.
Hua Wenqing didn't understand because this was her first time in the Demon Suppressing Fortress. Although she already knew, it wasn't easy for her to get used to it.
Along the way, Chen Zong and the other two saw many people coming in and out. Many of them had a strong murderous aura. This kind of murderous aura was different from the usual murderous aura. It seemed to be gloomier, colder, and bloodier.
Ordinary warriors would go blank and their limbs would be stiff when facing this kind of murderous aura. They wouldn't be able to exert their strength at all. Even Chen Zong felt a little uncomfortable when he sensed it from afar.
However, it didn't affect him much.
It was just that when those people looked over, there was a kind of terrible coldness that made Chen Zong's hair stand on end.
It was as if he was being stared at by some terrible fierce beast.
Chen Zong also noticed that these people with terrible murderous aura all had a black crescent-shaped badge on their chests. It looked extremely sharp, like a killing weapon. There were blood-red stars on the badge. Some had one blood star, some had two, and some had three.
The more blood stars there were, the stronger the murderous aura.
Chen Zong thought about it.
With a clear mind, Chen Zong quickly came to the conclusion that these people should be the so-called Demon Hunters. The crescent-shaped badge, like a killing weapon, should be the exclusive badge of the Demon Hunters. The number of blood stars on the badge represented the level of the Demon Hunter.
As for how to increase the level, it should be related to merits. Hua Wenjun had already said this.
"Three rookies again."
"We were rookies too."
Some of the Demon Hunters didn't hesitate to talk when they passed by.
If it were someone with a bad temper, they would probably get angry. However, neither Chen Zong nor Hua Wenjun were good-tempered people. They wouldn't get angry because of a trivial sentence. Hua Wenqing, with her temperament, wouldn't get angry either.
