Chapter 542 - Legend of the Hidden Dragon Island

A sense of fear crept up on Chen Fan afterward.

If it weren’t for the small golden person, the remnant will would have overwhelmed him. He would have been trapped, unable to free himself until he was annihilated.

He had been still too careless.

He should have expected the monument to be hiding something, which, in this case, turned out to be the will of some supreme powerhouse from three thousand years ago. He fell into the trap the moment he touched it.

“How truly terrifying. Three thousand years ago, the demonic path invaded the Hidden Dragon Island and turned it into history," Chen Fan muttered, furrowing his brow as he recalled the shocking images he had just seen.

This was all in the past, however. The Hidden Dragon Island was history, and so was the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect, leaving only some remnants still making waves in the Tianwu Continent.

......

Puchi!

Chen Fan killed a demonic beast covered in scales with his halberd. Fresh blood spattered out; surprisingly, his qi and blood felt slightly agitated.

“What’s going on?” Chen Fan’s eyes flickered, revealing a look of puzzlement.

His bloodline had throbbed when the demonic beast’s blood spattered, carrying a hint of longing.

Chen Fan grabbed at the empty air, draining this demonic beast’s fresh blood.

As expected, his bloodline throbbed again. The sense of longing was even stronger now.

“Rumors say that a divine dragon once perched on the Hidden Dragon Island, bleeding over the island. That’s how the island got its name. This demonic beast’s blood likely contains a trace of the divine dragon’s bloodline, which would prove that the legend is real!”

Soon, Chen Fan thought of the legends related to the Hidden Dragon Island.

However, Chen Fan still could not hunt demonic beasts in the four-revolution Golden Core or above, though one or two-revolution Golden Core demonic beasts were not a problem.

He was not in a hurry, however. When his cultivation level rose, his combat strength would also skyrocket. Eventually, killing four or five-revolution Golden Core demonic beasts would be easy.

Still, he only had a hundred days, a relatively short time, so he needed to make the most of it.

Fortunately, there were enough demonic beasts on the Hidden Dragon Island. After killing them, he retrieved their demon cores and directly refined them to raise his cultivation.

Three days later, his aura became stronger, reaching the middle stage of the ninth level, only a step away from the late stage of the ninth level. Breaking through would be easy after refining a few more demon cores.

Although there were drawbacks to raising one's cultivation through shortcuts, the Heaven Seizing Furnace was incredibly profound, minimizing these drawbacks.

Even so, minor drawbacks remained, but Chen Fan had the Earth Fire Heaven Lotus seeds to expel them when needed.

“Roar!” A vicious roar resounded through heaven and earth.

Under Chen Fan’s ferocious attacks, a giant bird enveloped in blazing flames cried out miserably as its blood colored the area. Ultimately, its flames were extinguished along with its life.

This great demonic beast, at the three-revolution level, had dominated the surrounding areas, an overlord-class existence.

Unfortunately, it ran into Chen Fan, whose strength had risen by a small margin. Now, he could kill three-revolution Golden Core level experts without a problem.

“Excellent. This Flaming Bird has powerful cultivation and possesses quite a bit of the divine dragon’s bloodline. More importantly, a three-revolution Golden Core level demon core is enough to help me advance into the late stage of the ninth level.” Chen Fan grinned, feeling satisfied with this operation.

He quickly extracted the divine dragon’s bloodline and immediately began absorbing and refining it. It was comparable to more than a dozen of the demonic beasts with traces of the divine dragon’s bloodline power he had killed previously.

Chen Fan immediately sensed his Myriad Elephants Divine Art improving significantly. His physique also became much stronger. Afterward, he retrieved its demon core and directly tossed it into the Heaven Seizing Furnace to refine it.

Boom, boom!

A little less than an hour later, Chen Fan’s aura suddenly shook fiercely. A formless, invisible qi current spread and swept out, causing the ancient trees within the surrounding kilometer to be met with a disaster.
