The venom from the Spiked Tail Peak came out suddenly, and was meant to be obtained. If it hit, Luo Hao's entire face would instantly become devoid of blood and flesh, even his bones would be corroded, so naturally, it would be hard to protect his entire body.

Flames sprung up in Luo Hao's left hand, jumping like a snake or a dragon. He lifted his left hand and sent it towards the black liquid that shot out of the Spiked Peak.

Pfft! The moment the black liquid touched the fire dragon, it instantly evaporated into black smoke and disappeared into the air.

The Thorny Tail Summit's sneak attack was resolved by Luo Hao so easily.

Aooo!

It was only now that he recalled that the mutated Twin Hope had not fully materialized yet. This was also the reason why it climbed out of the cave and adapted to the new body on the ground, only to run into Luo Hao's arrival when it knew it was intelligent and its strength was greatly weakened. It pretended to be strong, and sized Luo Hao up him with a look of contempt and disdain, hoping to scare Luo Hao off.

When he noticed the Thorny Tail Summit's rapidly pulsing twin peaks, Luo Hao knew even more that his guess just now was completely correct. The Spiked Tail Peak in front of him was just an exterior strength that was dry at the moment.

With that, Luo Hao increased his strength to 80%, and the sword in his hand became even more impenetrable as he attacked the Tail Peak.

If it was at its peak, it was confident that it would be defeated by Luo Hao, but it was not able to do so now. What confused it was that although Luo Hao was only at the early seventh stage of Soul Nurturing, he was able to unleash a much stronger power.

It cultivated for close to a thousand years, and when it finally advanced, it actually mutated. If not for Luo Hao, it would only need to wait for its stable cultivation, and after a few more tens or several hundred years of cultivation, it could transform into a human.

Luo Hao's footsteps were pressing closer and closer, causing the Tail Peak to retreat continuously. His large face was cut open with several sword wounds.

The Spiked Tail Peak suddenly let out a sharp hiss, and following that, it shot its needles towards Luo Hao's chest like boring bullets. Its speed was so fast that it could not be described with words, and it instantly arrived in front of Luo Hao.

Luo Hao thought that the situation was bad and it was already impossible for him to retreat. He could only dodge and, in the midst of the light from the lightning stone, the tip of the sword in his hand tapped on the left side of the cave wall.

"Puchi!"

The Summit Needle pierced through Luo Hao's arm and flew out, stabbing into the hard rock surface of his arm.

Luo Hao only felt his arm going numb, his entire arm was quickly turning black, at such a speed, it would reach his entire body in no time, where even Luo Hao would not be able to live if he wanted to.

Life and death were hanging on a thin line, Luo Hao hardened his heart, threw the treasure sword in his hand towards the mountain peak, he gathered all of his energy and used his right hand to push forward with a roar, an extremely berserk hurricane rose up from the passageway and pounced onto the mountain.

Earth Slayer!

The move that Luo Hao had unleashed was his most powerful, and also his most powerful move.

After throwing out this move, Luo Hao quickly stuffed a few Soul Nurturing Pill s into his mouth and sat cross-legged, circulating his cultivation to cure the tumor.

When the Spiked Tail Peak saw Luo Hao getting hit by its Peak Needle, they were elated. After getting hit by its Peak Needle, Luo Hao did not even need to use its hand, and was already sentenced to death.

Just as it was rejoicing, unexpectedly, Luo Hao ignored its injuries and used his strongest move on it. The berserk aura that was sufficient enough to destroy everything made it feel the threat of death, and it screamed as it tried its best to retreat, but it could not. In the end, it was completely engulfed by the energy storm released by Luo Hao.

His life force was quickly leaving his body and he struggled to lift his bone-sized head. His three eyes looked at Luo Hao with incomparable malice for the last time, before tilting his head and dying a violent death.

When Luo Hao sat cross-legged, half of his body was already unconscious. He released his divine sense to examine his body, and in a few breaths' time, the poison of the Spiked Peak spread to the area around his heart.

Luo Hao's heart shook. He activated his cultivation technique, wanting to stop the poison from continuing, but he was unable to stop it. The poison continued to flow through the small veins, tenaciously entering the heart.

He sighed in his heart and decided to give up.

A feeling of despair enveloped his entire body. Life was extremely precious, even ants could not avoid living, let alone Luo Hao.

He was still young, as young as the rising sun. He still had his sister Luo Yulin that needed his care, and his father was still waiting for him to solve the mystery of life and death. There were still countless girls waiting for him to take care of them.

However, life was at the same time the most fragile. In the blink of an eye, it would disappear.

Luo Hao was still using his power to resist. He would not give up until the very last moment, even though he knew it was all in vain.

Just as the venom was seeping into his heart through the fine veins, the Heaven Swallowing Martial Spirit in his body moved. The black curtain of color in his mind was like a silent heavenly river that continuously revolved, but it suddenly emitted a faint grey mist halo that spread throughout Luo Hao's body at an unparalleled speed.

When the extremely overbearing poisonous liquid met that halo, it instantly evaporated and turned into impurities, which left Luo Hao's body.

Luo Hao only felt the pain in his body instantly disappear and his numbed body regained its freedom. At the same time, he was overjoyed, knowing that this was also the effect of the Heaven Swallowing Martial Spirit.

To be able to heal wounds, to cure poisons, to have the strength of the soul skill of a Soul Devouring Beast for one's own use, to raise the grade of the Devoured Martial Spirit.

The Heaven Swallowing Martial Spirit was like a treasure chest. It would not be beneficial to Luo Feng, so he could use some methods to turn danger to his advantage and make it better.

Luo Hao suppressed his excitement, but it was not the time to cheer. Luo Hao moved his mind, and a high grade crystal appeared in his hand, after activating his cultivation for a few breaths of time, he absorbed the essence of heaven and earth into his body, and transformed into spirit energy that entered his Dantian.

Standing up, Luo Hao walked over to the tail peak of the three dead eyes and forcefully cut open its head. A sparkling and translucent Soul Crystal with bloodstains on its surface appeared in front of Luo Hao.

Luo Hao was a little excited. With this Soul Crystal, his strength would increase by a lot, and he would be able to obtain more treasures at the end.

After walking a few steps, Luo Hao discovered that there was actually a cave on top of the rock that was a few feet wide. There was a special smell coming from inside the cave and there was some blood at the entrance of the cave.

Looking at the Thorny Tail Peak that was lying on the ground, Luo Hao speculated that this mountain cave was very likely to be the home that this mountain should use for cultivation, which just so happens to be useful for temporary cultivation.

Thinking about it, Luo Hao lightly jumped into the cave, walking towards the exit. Inside was a few square meters, it was extremely clean, but it had a special smell, and it was not unbearable.

Perhaps this scent could prevent the others from intruding and play a protective role.

Luo Hao sat cross legged, holding onto the Soul Crystal, he started to absorb the energy inside.

Following the absorption of the energy, the spirit energy within his dantian continued to increase. Luo Hao's realm rapidly increased as he reached the mid seventh stage, then past the middle stage, towards the peak of the realm.

Peak of seventh stage!

In one breath, he broke through to the eighth level of soul nourishing stage.

As Luo Hao thought about this, he realized that there was no more energy to absorb.

Bang!

The Soul Crystal in his hand turned into powder, slipped through the gaps of Luo Hao's fingers and floated down to the ground.

Looking at the Soul Crystal in his hand that had turned to dust, Luo Hao laughed bitterly. Following his growth in rank, the Heaven and Earth Essence he required became like a bottomless pit, unable to be filled with energy.

Seeing that he was only one step away from entering a new realm, with soul nourishing stage at the eighth level, yet he was forced to stop and float in midair, felt extremely uncomfortable.

There were a lot of new crystals inside the spatial ring, and he was going to use them to break through to the eighth level of the Soul Formation stage.

Thinking about that, with a thought, Luo Hao took out a piece of crystal stone and started to absorb it.

The crystals in the spatial ring were decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the aura from Luo Hao's body was increasing nonstop.

In the blink of an eye, several hours had passed. At the start, there were still less than a hundred crystals left, and with Luo Hao taking out another dozen, his aura finally reached the peak of the human body. With a buzz in his mind, some of the obstructions were broken, as a brand-new energy surged in Luo Hao's body.

Eight stages of soul nourishing stage!

Luo Hao opened his eyes, a glint shining in his eyes. Breaking through to the eighth level of the soul nourishing stage, Luo Hao was confident that he could fight anyone under the level of Soul Condensation Realm.

With the increase in realm, Luo Hao's temperament had unknowingly undergone a change. Although it was not intentionally revealed, there was a kind of invisible and indescribable pressure being exuded from it.

This was also the reason why those experts, based solely on their own auras, were able to intimidate those of a lower cultivation level.

He stood up and walked out of the cave, but when he landed on the passage, he noticed that there were a lot of messy footprints on the ground. It was likely that someone had followed Luo Hao in after he had entered the cave.

This was good as well. The path ahead would definitely be filled with unknown dangers waiting for him. With more people to bear the burden, he would be able to save some energy. Why not?

Along the way, they didn't suffer any more attacks. From time to time, they would see the corpses of various soul beasts and humans. It was inevitable that they would pay a price to obtain the remains of powerful warriors.

After turning countless corners and seeing countless soul beasts and human corpses, they finally saw the exit of the tunnel.

As he exited the cave, his line of sight widened. He saw endless swamps, with countless bubbles bubbling all over them. Faint green smoke was drifting in the wind, along with a pungent smell.

At this time, countless human warriors were standing at the edge of the swamp, looking for a path to cross.

Most of the warriors were agitated as they cursed coldly.

It was no wonder that this marsh was boundless and there was no way to get across it. Even if there were pills and treasures on the other side, it would still be in vain.

The sky was high and refreshing. In the distant horizon, it was like a palace that was shoulder-to-shoulder with the clouds, faintly visible.
