Living as a Mortal: Grinding Experience Starting from the Underworld

"Senior Jiyin, must I also hand over three parts of my primordial spirit?"

The Crimson Flame Monster emerged from the thick fog and confronted the enemy in mid-air.

"Haha, Junior Nephew Chi Huo, have you ever heard: Under the Reverse Star, life and death hang by a thread?"

"Two paths: surrender or die!"

The extremely yin voice was cold and sharp. He slightly raised his hands, and two balls of black flame suddenly ignited from his palms.

"Well, I'm used to being free and undisciplined. I have no desire to go against the patriarch, nor am I interested in being bossed around. I'll take my leave first."

The moment the voice faded, a figure transformed into a yellow streak of light and vanished dozens of feet away.

What incredible speed!

Zhang Feng secretly compared the two and realized that this person's escape speed was probably half of his own when using the Thousand Waves Technique.

This speed far exceeds that of a typical early-stage Core Formation cultivator; no wonder he dared to be the first to step forward.

Upon seeing this, a fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the Extreme Yin Ancestor.

"I'm talking to someone! Did I give you permission to move?"

After saying that, Ji Yin gently tossed the hand holding the black flames toward the direction of the yellow escape light.

The black fireball flickered several times, transforming into a slender black rainbow that chased straight after it.

"Ah~"

A brief, sharp scream rang out, and a figure turned to ashes in the black flames, leaving only a magic weapon, devoid of its spiritual light, crashing to the ground.

Zhang Feng's eyes were sharp, and his divine sense kept track of the trajectory of the Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire the entire time.

Calculating his own escape speed in his mind, Zhang Feng felt slightly relaxed after comparing the two.

He could easily escape the Heavenly Corpse Fire with his speed, and even if he couldn't, he would have the Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow to counter it.

"Anyone else want to try my Heavenly Corpse Fire?"

His tone was extremely cold, and the black flames in his hand burned even more intensely.

"Old man, if I hadn't escaped this Yin Island back then, would I have become one of your avatars?"

As everyone remained silent, Sect Leader Sun let out a cold snort.

"Hehe, my good disciple, don't be so formal."

"My master's master, and my master's master's master, all came from this line of work!"

"But we're not running away, we're..."

Ji Yin chuckled and quickly traced a line on his neck with his finger.

"So you're still too naive..."

"Enough, everyone, don't let this old devil scare you."

"He was seriously injured offshore, and it took Wu Chou so long to even perform a possession spell?"

"Even if he succeeds, will he still be able to maintain 30% of his original strength?"

"Even though the Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire is powerful, how many times can it be used by the body it possesses?"

"If he were truly confident he could keep everyone here, why would he need to waste so much breath?"

Sect Master Sun interrupted Ji Yin's words and turned to explain to the other cultivators.

The series of questions indeed prompted the cultivators to ponder.

But those present were not fools, and no one was willing to be the first to step forward and risk being the one to suffer the worst.

"Since our ancestor is so resolute, I, Chi, cannot remain indifferent!"

The Crimson Flame Old Monster, who was in the late stage of Core Formation, was the first to speak.

The support from two late-stage Core Formation cultivators reassured the other cultivators and ignited their desire to rebel.

"Okay, then you can all come together!"

The Yin Hands reignited with black flames.

"This old demon will be held back by Sect Leader Sun and Senior Chi Huo. The rest of you will join me to deal with that traitor Zhao Zheng first, and then we'll join forces to deal with the old demon."

Zi Ling was the second to step forward and make the suggestion.

The cultivators remained silent for a moment, then unanimously agreed. Sect Master Sun pondered for a moment and also nodded in agreement.

Instantly, the crowd split into two groups. Sect Master Sun and Old Monster Chi Huo confronted Ji Yin, while the rest, led by Zi Ling, rushed towards Zhao Zheng.

"Elder Zhang, things have changed. The rest of us will deal with the thieves first. You can decide for yourself whether to lend a hand."

"The reward that Zi Ling promised will not be reduced."

Before leaving, Zi Ling left a message for Zhang Feng.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Feng remained silent. With Han Li's assistance, there was no need for him to help.

Zhang Feng, on the other hand, still had things he wanted to do.

Knowing that his Ice Marrow could counter the Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire, he only needed to test the strength of the Heavenly Capital Puppet in Ji Yin's hands.

So, when using the Possession Technique, if one cannot use their own magical treasures and relies solely on the Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire and the Heavenly Capital Puppet, is there any threat to them?

Roar!

Several roars of demons rang out, and all four of Sect Master Sun's avatars transformed into demonic bodies, forming an array to completely surround the extreme Yin.

"You've done a good job of creating an avatar!"

Ji Yin praised Xu Dao, his body remaining unmoved, but his gaze drifted to Zhang Feng, who was still standing in place.

"go!"

With a flick of his fingers, several dark figures suddenly shot out.

Zhang Feng's gaze sharpened. The Heavenly Capital Puppet Refining Technique had arrived just in time.

A few dozen steps away from Zhang Feng, the space twisted and blurred, and two Heavenly Capital Puppets suddenly emerged, both with auras at the mid-stage of Core Formation.

Whoosh!

The two Heavenly Capital Refined Puppets instantly unleashed their full speed and attacked Zhang Feng.

Two enormous fists, bound by chains, appeared in Zhang Feng's eyes. According to his divine sense, the puppet-making process was somewhat slow.

Zhang Feng did not dodge. He crouched down slightly, stretched his arms forward, and opened his palms.

Two fists, imbued with spiritual energy and carrying immense force, gradually enlarged in Zhang Feng's eyes.

As Zhang Feng activated the "Pluto Technique," he gathered spiritual power in his palm, intending to take the blow head-on.

when!

Ah~, a tremendous force came from his palm, but Zhang Feng's expression remained unchanged. He gripped the ground tightly with his feet, used the force to push off, and plowed two deep grooves several feet long into the ground.

After stopping, Zhang Feng pushed off with his feet, swung his arms in a wide arc, and, driven by his waist and hips, spun twice before throwing the two puppets away.

The two puppets crashed heavily into the strange rocky mountain behind them, raising a cloud of dust and debris.

A smile appeared on Zhang Feng's lips. After decades of hard work, his body refinement at the mid-stage of the third rank was far more useful than a mindless puppet.

Roar!

Two puppets burst out of the smoke again, and a blue sword appeared in Zhang Feng's palm.

With another push of his feet, Zhang Feng's body shot out, and with a flick of his wrist, two blue sword beams suddenly slashed out.

Boo!

As the smoke cleared, Zhang Feng stopped.

With the enhancement of sword skills, the sword light cut cleanly where it passed, splitting the two puppet bodies in two at the waist, and the four pieces of the body crashed to the ground.

roar~

The resilient puppet struggled to close its body, attempting to repair itself.

Zhang Feng didn't rush to make another move. He summoned Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong from his spirit beast pouch. Both of them were already level five demon beasts.

Zhang Feng had never had a good opportunity to test the strength of the two, and now these two puppets could serve as 'testing stones' for demons.

"Croak!"

The two star frogs shrank to the size of a foot, perched on Zhang Feng's shoulders, one on each side, and stared intently at him with their bulging eyes.

"go!"

Zhang Feng pointed at the puppets that were repairing their bodies and commanded them to fight the enemy.

"Croak~"

Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong seemed to really like the aura of the puppet refiner, and their two long, bright red tongues suddenly shot out.

Under Zhang Feng's astonished gaze, Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong wrapped their tongues around the two puppets, one frog and one puppet, and swallowed them whole.

"Quack quack!"

As if they were eating delicious food, Xiaoqing and Xiaohong stuck out their tongues and licked Zhang Feng's cheeks.

Zhang Feng pinched the abdomens of the two creatures with his fingers and extended his divine sense. He discovered that the two puppets were bound inside their bellies by a spiritual force and were being refined by the two frogs' spiritual power.

Zhang Feng was somewhat amused and exasperated. He had originally intended to test the combat power of the two puppets, but he hadn't expected that the two puppets, both at the mid-stage of Core Formation, would be so easily swallowed and refined.

However, this also gave Zhang Feng a pleasant surprise.

These two star frogs are indeed quite strong.

While ensuring his own safety, Zhang Feng's purpose on this trip was simply to test his skills. After some experimentation, he found that his years of hard training had indeed paid off.

Zhang Feng's strength far exceeded his own expectations.

It's better to fight! Only through a battle can one truly assess the power of the spells one has painstakingly cultivated and the magical treasures one has crafted!

Zhang Feng's gaze fell on the three people confronting each other in mid-air. It seemed that he didn't need to hurry up and escape this time.

It seems that someone in the late stage of Core Formation isn't necessarily incapable of fighting.

The possession technique used by Ji Yin was completely countered by his Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire and Heavenly Capital Puppet Refining.

This trip should yield even greater rewards.

Having tested his own combat capabilities, Zhang Feng's ambition suddenly grew slightly.
