The rank five Hunting Rat had already fallen to the ground. Its monster power had been exhausted, but it was not dead. Its blood red eyes were wild and frenzied, and it roared from time to time, but it was unable to crawl back up.
Between the Demonic Summoning Sound and the True Martial Sword Domain, one targeted its divine soul and the other consumed its strength. It had finally reached the end of its tether.
However, in order to avoid this fellow's dying counterattack, Lin Xuan did not dare to be careless.
He grasped the Seven Deadly Wind Sword, and as he approached, his figure suddenly accelerated. The longsword exploded with a terrifying killing intent, ruthlessly stabbing towards the rank five Hunting Rat's head.
Chi –
A cold light flashed, and the incomparably sharp Seven Deadly Wind Sword easily pierced into the Hunting Rat's head, all the way to the hilt.
Immediately, there was a loud explosion as the Seven Deadly Swords Qi exploded inside Hunting Rat's head. It turned into a storm of Swords Qi, shattering his soul.
The rank five Hunting Rat's massive body twitched a few times, and then its four legs collapsed, completely dead.
Hu –
Lin Xuan's heart relaxed, and he let out a long breath.
Immediately, he shook off the brain matter on the sword, and the longsword continued to slash at the Hunting Rat's corpse.
After the Hunting Rat died, its fur had already dimmed, and its defensive power had greatly weakened. With the sharpness of the Seven Deadly Wind Sword, the Hunting Rat's body was quickly dismembered.
Suddenly, a fist-sized yellow crystal was dug out by Lin Xuan from the mangled flesh of the corpse.
"Mm? It's you! "
Lin Xuan held the crystal in his hand, and a trace of joy flashed across his face.
This was the rank five Hunting Rat's monster core. The monster power inside had already been exhausted, but it was still filled with a majestic aura of the Earth Dao. This was because the Hunting Rat's source dao pattern still existed, and this was also the source of its supernatural powers.
Feeling the dao pattern aura within, Lin Xuan's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate.
His heart was the heart of the Golem Demon, and at this moment, it revealed an extreme desire for the dao pattern within the Hunting Rat's monster core.
Each of the nine inheritances of the Demon Lord was extremely profound and mysterious. If one were to dig deeper, they would be able to unearth limitless potential.
Although Lin Xuan had already obtained the Golden Body of the Archdevil, the Rhino's Horn, and the Heart of the Stone Devil, due to his limited energy, most of his attention was placed on cultivating the Golden Body of the Archdevil.
As for the Rhino's Horn and the Golem's Heart, he had only used them as support and had never put his heart into improving them.
However, this did not mean that the Rhino's Horn and the Golem's Heart did not have the potential to be improved.
At this moment, Lin Xuan could clearly feel that the Demon Core of the Fifth Order Hunting Rat would be of great help to the enhancement of the Golem Heart.
He held the Demon Core in his hand and couldn't help but want to go into seclusion for a while.
Meanwhile, Shen Yukun, Ji Fengxiao, and Tu He's encirclement of the Level Four Hunting Rat was gradually coming to an end.
Ji Fengxiao and Tu He had just entered the Heavenly Transformation Realm not long ago, so it was very difficult for them to fight the Level Four Hunting Rat. However, Shen Yukun's strength was very tyrannical. Even among the Heavenly Transformation Realm powerhouses in the entire True Martial Realm, he was among the top few in terms of combat strength. Facing the Hunting Rat head-on, he had the upper hand.
First, they released the Land Sealing Talisman to cut off the Hunting Rat's escape route. Then, Tu He released the Golden Scepter to further trap the Hunting Rat.
Next, they closed the door and beat the dog. The three of them attacked at the same time. Saber light and Sword Qi flew, and the Level Four Hunting Rat was quickly chopped into minced meat. Finally, they seized a light yellow Demon Core from the Hunting Rat's corpse.
After the battle ended, Lin Xuan ordered the three of them to spread out in the surroundings and scout for suitable Demon Clans for missions, while he escaped into the stone ring's space.
Inside the cultivation room.
Lin Xuan sat cross-legged on the ground, operating the Golem's Heart. First, he tried to refine the Level Four Hunting Rat's Demon Core.
The Level Four Hunting Rat's Demon Core did not condense Dao patterns, but more elementary Dao marks.
After only half an hour, the Dao patterns in the Demon Core were refined by the Golem's Heart. The Demon Core's remaining Demon Power dissipated, turning into fine powder that rustled to the ground.
Lin Xuan used his heart to feel the Golem's Heart.
He found that the Golem's Heart seemed to have some changes. The speed at which it condensed the Power of Thick Earth and the power of the Underground Walking Technique had both increased a little, but the changes were not obvious.
Even so, Lin Xuan was very happy.
After all, the Hunting Rat's Demon Core was the only thing he had found that had the effect of improving the Golem's Heart.
Next, he impatiently took out the Level Five Hunting Rat's Demon Core and concentrated on refining it.
The Level Five Hunting Rat's Demon Core contained three complete Dao patterns, which formed an even more powerful Divine Ability. Refining it was more difficult than refining the Level Four Hunting Rat's Demon Core.
However, Lin Xuan was not in a hurry. He calmed his mind and refined the Demon Core bit by bit, improving the Golem's Heart.
…
While Lin Xuan was in seclusion, other people in the Human Emperor's Secret Territory were also in full swing.
As time passed, more and more people in the first stage of the Demon Territory completed the goal of slaughtering a million Demons and advanced to the next stage.
Of course, most of these people were the disciples of the Ji Family.
As for the foreign cultivators who had no understanding of the Human Emperor's Secret Territory, they were still hiding from the encirclement of the Demon Race, and people were dying at every moment.
Especially after Lin Xuan killed a Giant Demon, the Giant Demon Race seemed to have gone mad. They came out in full force and crazily hunted down the Human Race across the entire Demon Territory. They were a hundred times crazier than the Shadow Demon Race, causing the Human Race cultivators to suffer unspeakably and panic like stray dogs.
More than half of the human race's experts had been killed in these four or five days. Even some of the famous heaven's pride experts of the True Martial World were among the dead.
Even many people of the Ji Family had died at the hands of the Giant Demon Race. Their stronghold near the Blood Demon Lake had also been uprooted by the Giant Demon Race.
Today's Demon Territory had become a real dragon's pool and tiger's den for the Human Race cultivators. Every moment they stayed was more dangerous. Many people had begun to regret joining in the fun.
Those who had advanced to the second stage of the Demon Territory did not feel relaxed.
In the Demon Territory, due to some unknown reasons, the strongest Demon Race cultivator that appeared in front of people was only at the Fifth-Order.
However, in the Demon Territory, even Sixth-Order Great Demons could appear, and Fifth-Order Great Demons were innumerable. Moreover, there were nightmarish marauders like the Hunting Rats. It was simply dangerous everywhere.
Many people had arrived at the second stage with great difficulty, but they had accidentally stepped into the territory of a high-level Demon Race. In the blink of an eye, they had been eaten by a Demon Beast. Some people did not even see the full appearance of a Great Demon before they died. It was very miserable.
In short, in everyone's eyes, the Demon Territory was a place even more terrifying than the Demon Territory. It was simply a land of death.
In this kind of place, not to mention killing the Ten Demon Races, just surviving was an extremely difficult goal. Even those famous Martial World geniuses had difficulty walking, and their lives were in danger.
However, relatively speaking, the Ji Family's life was still much better.
The Ji Family relied on the experience passed down by their ancestors. Although they did not dare to say that they were at ease, as long as their luck was not too bad, surviving was not a big problem.
Some people felt that they did not have the strength to fight for the Mortal Emperor's Sword, so they focused on finding opportunities, and their gains were not bad.
As for Ji Lengye, Ji Lian Xing, Ji Changsheng, and others, they had already begun their Demon Slaying Mission. Although it was not smooth, their progress was not slow.
At the same time, there was another person who was unswervingly moving towards his goal.
This person was Ning Fengqiu.
Since Lin Xuan had luckily escaped last time, chasing after Lin Xuan had almost become an obsession in Ning Fengqiu's heart.
In his eyes, Lin Xuan had precious treasures and supreme luck. He was like a moving treasure, and was already considered the second greatest opportunity in this Secret Realm, second only to the Mortal Emperor's Sword Seal.
Therefore, he had long been firm in his belief that even if the Demon Slaying Mission was postponed indefinitely, he had to kill Lin Xuan first.
Five days had passed, and Ning Fengqiu relied on a tracking treasure and a flying treasure to move unswervingly towards Lin Xuan's location.
All along the way, he'd fallen into a hopeless situation many times, and he'd almost lost his life. Once, he'd even plunged into the territory of a sixth rank Greater Demon, and he'd almost become the Greater Demon's food. Even his flying Dao Treasure had been shattered into pieces.
Fortunately, he was not fated to die. At the critical moment, he took out the supreme Dao weapon, the Heaven and Earth Mirror, and narrowly avoided being devoured by the great demon. Then, he crushed the Scroll of Greater Teleportation to escape with his life.
After several dangerous encounters, Ning Fengqiu, who had lost his flying treasure, had to be more careful and slow down. He had originally planned to finish the journey in five days, but now he was only halfway there.
However, he was not discouraged. He firmly believed that within ten days, he would be able to find Lin Xuan, kill Lin Xuan, and take all his opportunities for himself.
He could feel that Lin Xuan was somewhere a million miles ahead. His target was not far away.
In the space of the stone ring.
Lin Xuan closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, holding the Demon Core of the Hunting Rat with both hands. As the Heart of the Stone Demon revolved, streaks of earthy yellow divine chains were extracted from the Demon Core and merged into his body.
Lin Xuan carefully sensed the changes in the Heart of the Stone Demon. He found that the streaks of Earth Dao patterns were refined the moment they entered the Heart of the Stone Demon. They were turned into nutrients for the Heart of the Stone Demon, strengthening it.
As the Heart of the Stone Demon grew stronger, the power it could unleash naturally increased.
However, Lin Xuan felt that things were not so simple.
He vaguely felt that the Heart of the Stone Demon was evolving in a certain direction. When it reached a certain critical point, perhaps there would be an earth-shattering change. This made him somewhat expectant.
Two days later, the last Dao pattern in the Hunting Rat's Demon Core was extracted, and the Demon Core turned into dust.
Lin Xuan opened his eyes, and two rays of light flashed.
At this moment, his heartbeat was stronger than usual. Once it connected with the earth, the muffled sound of his heartbeat resonated with the earth's pulse, and it could be heard for hundreds of miles.
However, Lin Xuan still felt a little regretful because the Heart of the Stone Demon had not reached that critical point, and there was no essential change.
"It would be great if there were a few more Hunting Rat Demon Cores. What a pity!" Lin Xuan shook his head.
Hunting Rat Demon Cores were not easy to obtain, especially Rank Five Hunting Rat Demon Cores.
Even though a few days had passed, the thought of the Hunting Rat army devouring everything like an unstoppable flood still made his scalp tingle.
It was simply impossible for him to kill the Jaeger King in the midst of the Jaeger Army by himself.
He was able to kill the two Rank Four and Rank Five Hunting Rats largely because of luck.
However, Lin Xuan felt very unwilling to give up the opportunity to upgrade the Heart of the Stone Demon just like that.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Xuan gradually came up with an idea, and a look of determination flashed across his face.
