Chapter 348: Fang Xue’s Advancement!

At this moment, Fang Xue was tempering the Major Aperture located at her chest.

Gu Fan looked at the nearly bare Fang Xue and immediately felt a little awkward.

However, his gaze was honest and did not wander.

Her flat, snow-white abdomen, her full and delicate sacred peaks… the key point was that they were glowing.

This scene, it had to be said, was a little too stimulating.

At that moment, a strand of divine sense transmitted over, carrying Fang Xue’s slightly embarrassed and angry voice.

“Turn around! You’re not allowed to peek!”

Gu Fan felt a little embarrassed—he had been caught red-handed.

“Ahem…”

“It was unintentional, Senior Sister, don’t take it to heart. It’s better to focus on tempering your Major Apertures.”

After a moment, Fang Xue’s voice came again.

“Half a day’s time…”

Her tone was shy, yet in order to cover her embarrassment, she deliberately made it sound cold and aloof.

Gu Fan rubbed his nose and then shifted his thoughts elsewhere.

On Fang Xue’s side, she had actually been focusing on tempering her Major Apertures the whole time. After all, she had agreed with Gu Fan beforehand that if something happened, he wouldn’t force her to continue.

She had also felt the violent explosion just now, but since Gu Fan didn’t interrupt her, it proved the danger hadn’t reached a critical point yet.

As she concentrated on tempering her Major Apertures, she suddenly felt a fiery gaze falling on her abdomen and chest.

The gaze was so intent that she seemed to feel the heat itself, causing her whole body to warm up.

Fortunately, Gu Fan kept his word. Once he said he would stop looking, he indeed did so.

Letting out a sigh of relief, Fang Xue continued immersing herself in tempering her Major Apertures.

Very quickly, the tempering progressed. After completing the chest aperture, it shifted to the throat.

Finally, after half a day’s time, the throat aperture was completed, and it reached the brow—the most important Major Aperture.

This aperture concerned the strength of her divine soul.

Tempering it required the utmost caution. A single misstep could leave her an idiot at best, or directly collapse her soul at worst.

But once completed, the benefits would be immense. The strength of her divine soul would increase greatly.

Her Cold Aperture Constitution would allow her future soul attacks to carry an icy attribute, able to freeze another’s divine soul. With sufficient strength, she could even directly kill enemies.

Inside the Demonic Fire Secret Realm, there was no day or night. The sky was always shrouded in red mist and the poisonous gases produced by volcanic magma.

After killing the hundred-meter Fire Demon, Gu Fan had rested for quite a while. But very soon, he faintly felt something was off.

He turned to look at Fang Xue—this time not to take advantage—but to check her progress.

Her brow glimmered faintly, proving that the tempering had only just begun. According to Fang Xue, it would take at least another half an hour.

Yet at that moment, Gu Fan could clearly sense the fire energy in the air slowly flowing.

Different from before, the current flow was not chaotic but instead was gathering toward a certain place.

And this feeling… Gu Fan had already experienced it several times.

It was the omen of a Fire Demon’s resurrection.

But now, with such a massive flow… this was no ordinary Fire Demon’s revival.

Very quickly, Gu Fan guessed the reason.

Just as he had thought from the beginning, Fire Demons in this secret realm could not be truly killed—they would resurrect endlessly.

The hundred-meter Fire Demon he had blasted into ashes with the Cultivation Nuclear Bomb earlier was the same.

Which meant, the current surging flame energy was reviving that terrifying Fire Demon once again!

The thought gave Gu Fan a headache.

Good heavens, that thing was already troublesome enough, and now it could revive…

It was unkillable, truly unkillable.

But Fang Xue was nearly finished. If she only needed half an hour, perhaps Gu Fan only had to kill the Fire Demon once more to buy enough time.

With that thought, Gu Fan began his preparations.

Black killing aura condensed into a black sphere. Then, he injected his Mysterious Power and Spiritual Power into it until it was about a quarter full.

Thus, the terrifying ultimate weapon—the Cultivation Nuclear Bomb—appeared once again!

“At worst, I’ll let you have another death experience.”

Gu Fan sneered coldly, fixing his gaze on the place where energy was converging, waiting calmly for the Fire Demon to materialize.

At last, after several minutes, a terrifying figure appeared before Gu Fan.

Its aura was violent, towering over a hundred meters tall.

The Fire Demon rushed forward at once. The ant before it had actually scattered its body just moments ago.

Yes, scattered.

In its perception, it could not die—it had merely been forcibly broken apart.

This ant must be torn to shreds!

It took a step, summoning countless fire dragons.

But at that moment, Gu Fan only slowly raised his hand. A black sphere appeared within it.

Instantly, the Fire Demon froze.

Its meager bit of intelligence told it that this thing could not be touched!

If it touched it, it would once again be forcibly scattered.

Though it did not understand death, the sensation of being torn apart was far from pleasant!

If possible… it did not want to experience that again.

Thus, its body stiffened.

Instinct told it not to advance. Yet instinct also told it to destroy every intruder.

The two instincts clashed, leaving it at a loss.

Meanwhile, Gu Fan weighed the nuclear bomb in his hand, while the Fire Demon stood there dazed, like a towering mountain unmoving.

Gu Fan raised his brow at the sight.

Had it been frightened by him?

His divine sense swept toward Fang Xue once more, this time ignoring all the alluring sights.

At this moment, the glow from her brow’s divine soul aperture was brighter than before, clearly showing her progress had quickened.

If it continued like this, Gu Fan thought he might not even need to strike. Just intimidation alone would be enough to stall for time.

The Fire Demon then slowly stepped back. This was the first time Gu Fan had ever seen a Fire Demon retreat since entering this place.

It showed just how deeply the nuclear bomb had scarred the creature’s newly-formed intelligence.

Gu Fan continued to aim the black sphere at the Fire Demon, making a motion as if to throw it.

This directly terrified the Fire Demon. It turned around at once, its massive legs carrying it away.

“Ant…”

Gu Fan froze in place, speechless.

It seemed that Fire Demons without intelligence were stronger.

Look at those lower-level Fire Demons—when had they ever known fear?

The moment they saw a person, they would charge recklessly, dying and reviving again and again.

Now that this one had intelligence, it could be considered an evolution. Yet it had lost even the courage to fight—it had actually learned to cower!

Gu Fan slowly withdrew the Mysterious Power and Spiritual Power from the black sphere until the killing aura dissipated.

Clapping his hands, he sighed.

But at that very moment, brilliant light erupted behind him. A terrifying cold aura burst forth.

Even the surrounding magma began to freeze.

Gu Fan turned his head and saw all the fire energy forced back. Frost climbed across the ground, magma solidified.

The frozen range reached a full hundred meters!

“This is…”

Gu Fan’s eyes widened slightly. The source of the cold aura was precisely the Major Apertures all around Fang Xue’s body.

At this moment, every aperture in her body spewed terrifying icy energy, freezing everything around.

The aperture at her brow reached completion under her tempering. Then Fang Xue suddenly opened her eyes, and a terrifying aura erupted.

She slowly rose into the air, revealing without doubt the momentum of the Three Blossoms Realm!
