Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting

Everyone around was shocked and looked at Wei Fan. They realized the issue as well; otherwise, he couldn’t have locked onto Elder Dun’s hiding Great Dao so quickly.

"Kill!"

Wei Fan charged forward, the Yin-Yang Chaos Saber slashing again. Elder Dun used the Saint-Slaying Sword to block, but couldn’t stop it; instead, his entire power went out of control, backfiring on him.

"Puhh!"

He spat out blood, the Dao runes on his Black Armor flared up, and he transformed into a black light, rushing out.

Since the Tunneling Technique failed under the Martial Arts Celestial Eye, he could only rely on speed to escape.

But his speed was only comparable to Wei Fan’s Wind Escape Step, and he couldn’t widen the distance between them.

"Bang!"

With the third strike, Wei Fan directly cleaved open the Black Armor on Elder Dun. The Sword Aura shattered his physical body, and the Sword Intent of the Chaos Saber exploded within him.

His physical form instantly suffered Yin-Yang imbalance, elemental chaos, various lights alternated, and finally, a terrifying explosion ensued, filling the sky with radiance.

"Die!"

Wei Fan charged through the light, emerging with both the Dragon-slaying Saber, a Storage Gourd, and the Saint-Slaying Sword in his hands.

The light faded, leaving only half a corpse behind.

[Slayed Elder Dun, gained 500,000 years of Ordinary Power, and 10,000 years of Martial Saint’s Power]

[Ordinary Power: 13,890,000 years]

[Martial Saint’s Power: 90,300 years]

"Rumble..."

Elder Dun’s Dao emerged and quickly exploded, the aftermath of Dao Collapse scattering in several directions. Wei Fan stood like a War God, letting the ripples flow past him.

Everyone was speechless, stunned by the spectacle.

Typically, Black Nether Assassins silently kill, rarely failing, and even if they do, they usually escape. But today, they witnessed the demise of a Great Saint Level assassin, who wasn’t able to flee even with Tunneling Divine Skill and was slain on the spot.

"Gentlemen, I have matters to attend to, farewell until we meet again!"

Black Nether appeared once more; he didn’t plan to linger long as the time agreed upon with Black Dragon Great Saint had arrived.

Wei Fan stored the Saint-Slaying Sword and, after cupping his hands to Sword Hero, Wei Ying, and others in the distance, didn’t wait for their response and tore through the void, disappearing.

With his disappearance, the news of Lingxu Cave’s annihilation quickly spread across the Eastern Domain. Many factions were speechless, not expecting that upon hearing of Wei Ran’s attack on Lingxu Cave, half a day later, the cave would be obliterated, and all Saint Realm powerhouses slain.

In that moment, those who, like Lingxu Cave, publicly stated they wanted to hand Wei Fan over to the Demon Fiend to pacify the war trembled in fear.

Everyone wasn’t foolish; superficially, Lingxu Cave’s destruction seemed due to Sun Changqing attacking Fairy Yunyin. However, considering the Demon Hunter Organization thunderously leveled Lingxu Cave, and even Huang Tianxing Martial Emperor showed up, it was premeditated. Otherwise, such a swift assembly of experts to slaughter in Lingxu Cave wouldn’t have been possible, nor would the Martial Emperor just happen to emerge at that exact time.

On that day, forces from Jinzhou that previously didn’t resist the Demon Fiend all sent experts to the Demon Hunter Organization, declaring future cooperation against the Demon Fiend.

The news spread to other continents, causing similar reactions, with numerous Saint Realm individuals expressing willingness to follow the Demon Hunter Organization’s orders.

Even the Mei Family, another Martial Emperor faction, suggesting handing Wei Fan over, sent experts for talks with the Demon Hunter Organization to discuss Demon Fiend resistance.

The only one not expressing anything was the Zhou Family; they seemed unfazed by Lingxu Cave’s destruction.

Of course, the Zhou Family likely didn’t care because, during the battle of Lingxu Cave, Wei Fan publicly used Emperor’s Secret Technique to obliterate Zhou Family’s Great Saint Zhou Wuchang.

It’s said that on that day, the Zhou Family erupted in fury, and a group of experts charged out, heading to Jinzhou to find Wei Ran. But by then, upon arriving, Wei Ran had vanished, leaving no sightings in Jinzhou.

The Zhou Family began offering a bounty for Wei Ran, promising significant Spirit Crystal rewards for those providing his whereabouts and a favor if someone could kill him.

Furthermore, notable attention was drawn to Black Nether Assassin’s attempt on Wei Ran, resulting in the assassin’s demise instead.

Black Nether, having mastered Tunneling Divine Skill and using top-tier Assassination Technique, couldn’t defeat Wei Ran, revealing he had mastered Martial Arts Celestial Eye.

In an instant, the Eastern Domain Martial World was astir, knowing that only peerless prodigies could cultivate Martial Arts Celestial Eye, symbolizing a supreme talent rarely seen through history.

"Martial Arts Celestial Eye... Could Wei Ran be Wei Fan?"

Li Jianchen showed suspicion; he was among the few aware of Wei Fan mastering Martial Arts Celestial Eye.

After all, the Martial Arts Celestial Eye is something that might emerge once in thousands of years, and having two in a lifetime is improbable.

Especially since recent slayings by Wei Ran mainly targeted factions antagonistic to Wei Fan, leading him to make such connections.

"If it truly is him..."

Li Jianchen couldn’t fathom; becoming a Saint in just four months and then reaching Great Saint Realm, with Half-Step Saint King battle power - it’s almost mythical, surpassing the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

Soon, he shook his head, feeling it couldn’t be Wei Fan, a nineteen-year-old in the Saint Realm was already terrifying enough; rapid progression to Great Saint in four months is absurd, he couldn’t continue pondering.

...

"Those beasts were indeed intimidated; if I had destroyed Lingxu Cave, this much deterrence wouldn’t have been possible."

After several transits, concealing his identity, three days later Wei Fan appeared at the Holy City Transmission Domain Gate, naturally kept abreast of the Lingxu Cave battle impact.

Numerous factions were intimidated, realizing that should they continue resisting the Demon Fiend, the Demon Hunter Organization might target them next.

As he traveled, the atmosphere in various states lightened significantly after the deterrence caused many factions to dispatch strong fighters, and coupled with the numerous deaths of Demon Saints in Shun’an City battle, the Demon Fiends’ clamorous voices had diminished.

The key was that he had been missing from Jianghu for a month, leaving the Demon Fiends without a target, making their morale low.

Of course, it doesn’t mean the war stopped; instead, it intensified more than before, but now it focused on revenge for the slain Demon Saints in Shun’an City.

Within days, more Saint Realm individuals of the Human Race fell.

Glancing at the distant Holy City, Wei Fan didn’t enter; he directly transferred to Shuiyun City’s direction, as Lu Shun’an had already headed to Xining Continent to handle Wang Family’s situation, and Li Jianchen and others were battling outside without friends in the Holy City.

Two hours later, he stepped out from a nearby Transmission Domain Gate near Shuiyun City.

He didn’t immediately head towards Shuiyun City; having focused on travel, the power gained from the Lingxu Cave battle hadn’t been used and needed to be expended.

One can imagine that should he reappear as Wei Fan, it would surely stir chaos; both Demon Fiends and the Zhou Family would act against him after this month’s disappearance, many would be unsettled.

His reappearance would bring all sorts of threats; without enhancing his cultivation, he’d be uneasy returning to Shuiyun City.

Finding a spot in the mountains to set an array, Wei Fan summoned the panel.

[Ten Thousand Dao Bell (Expertise)]

[Scripture of the Three Emperors (Great Saint Realm)]

[Nine-Nine True Skill (Fifty-eighth diagram)]

...

[Ordinary Power: 13,890,000 years]

[Martial Saint’s Power: 90,300 years]

Ordinary Power nearly 14 million, yet it takes 16 million Ordinary Power to bring Ten Thousand Dao Bell to Perfection, for now, it can only be elevated to Great Success.

However, not far off; a few more Demon Saints should suffice.

[A year of power, returning from Jinzhou to Shuiyun City, knowing what’s next would be fierce battles, began diligently cultivating the Ten Thousand Dao Bell]

...

The panel flickered, adding to Ten Thousand Dao Bell first.

Inside him, Ten Thousand Dao Bell began glittering, golden light flowing, Dao runes emitting a mysterious aura.
