Chapter 173: Chaotic Fiend

"It seems I need to refine the Chaotic Spear to the level of an Immortal Artifact."

After killing Lin Gengxing, Wu Yidao extended his hand and retrieved the Chaotic Spear. Feeling that the Chaotic Spear could no longer support his current Red Dust Immortal Peak cultivation, Wu Yidao thought to himself.

Above Emperor Weapons are Immortal Artifacts, which are divided into First Grade to Ninth Grade. Artifacts above the Sixth Grade have specific titles: Sixth Grade Immortal King Artifact, Seventh Grade Immortal Sovereign Artifact, Eighth Grade Immortal Venerable Artifact, and Ninth Grade Immortal Emperor Artifact.

Each grade is further divided into Initial Stage, Middle Stage, Late Stage, and Peak.

To upgrade a weapon, one requires suitable Materials and must smelt it again. Furthermore, once it becomes an Immortal Artifact, it can possess an Artifact Spirit, whose assistance makes combat much smoother.

Wu Yidao pondered that once he left the Chaotic World, he should upgrade the Chaotic Spear to an Immortal Artifact.

But just then, Wu Yidao sensed something. His expression turned grave, and he vanished from his spot. The instant he left, a ten-meter-wide giant palm slammed into his previous location.

Had Wu Yidao not moved away, he likely would have been severely injured by that palm strike.

After moving away, Wu Yidao looked at the thing that had attacked him. It was a lion-shaped creature, but its fur radiated a dark, gloomy power, looking extremely eerie.

"Is this the legendary Chaotic Fiend? It is said that killing one grants the Chaos Law. Since that's the case, let's see what it can do. Although it is in the True Immortal Realm, it is only at the Initial Stage; I should still be able to handle it!"

Thinking this, Wu Yidao did not hesitate and charged at the Chaotic Fiend with the Chaotic Spear in hand.

Seeing the Human Race ant before it not only failing to flee but actually attacking, the Chaotic Fiend became even more enraged, roaring as it charged at Wu Yidao.

Meanwhile, the Disciples of the Chaos Holy Land within the Chaotic World all encountered Chaotic Fiends, as if some major change had occurred within the Chaotic World.

"Damn it, what on earth is happening? Wasn't it said that Chaotic Fiends are rare? Why are there hundreds of them now?"

"Everyone, let's gather together first. Chaotic Fiends are invincible among those of the same Realm; if we fight alone, we won't be the Chaotic Fiends' match."

"Disciples with lower Realms should assist from the side, while Disciples with higher Realms hold the front line!"

As the Chaotic Fiends attacked the Chaos Holy Land Disciples, the Disciples quickly began to fall into Chaos. But at this critical moment, ten Personal Disciples who had broken through to the Golden Immortal Initial Stage stepped forward.

As they began to fight, the Chaos Holy Land Disciples within the Chaotic World started to regroup, resisting the attacks of the Chaotic Fiends.

"Damn it, aren't Chaotic Fiends supposed to be solitary? Why are they launching a collective attack against us now?"

A woman with turquoise hair stood at the back of the group, watching the Chaotic Fiends charging at them with a grim expression. Her name was Lan Yutian, and she was one of the Ten Great Prodigies.

"I don't know, but we cannot act yet. These Vicious Beasts are definitely under the control or orders of something, which is why they are attacking us. We must maintain our best condition; otherwise, we might not even have the power to fight back when the time comes."

Li Zhenggang held the sword at his waist and said with a grave expression.

Hearing this, the other eight Prodigies' expressions turned grim. They could naturally guess, to some extent, that the one capable of mobilizing so many Red Dust Immortal and even True Immortal Realm Chaotic Fiends to attack them was likely the King of Chaos Beasts, an existence at the Golden Immortal Peak level.

But they had no other choice now; they could only act according to circumstances and hope to find a chance to survive. However, the King of Chaos Beasts had never paid attention to the Chaos Holy Land Disciples who entered before.

Let alone the King of Chaos Beasts, even Golden Immortal Realm Chaotic Fiends rarely attacked.

This made them feel that perhaps something had gone wrong.

On the other side, when facing the True Immortal Realm Chaotic Fiend, Wu Yidao was initially locked in a bitter battle. However, he quickly adapted to this level of combat and began to handle it with ease.

After five days, Wu Yidao found an opening and killed the Chaotic Fiend before him with a single spear strike.

After killing the Chaotic Fiend, a fragment of the Chaos Law entered Wu Yidao's body, causing his eyes to light up. It seemed that not only could he grow stronger by absorbing the Chaos Law here, but he could also absorb the Chaos Law by killing Chaotic Fiends.

Thinking of this, Wu Yidao's eyes gradually brightened. He no longer looked at the Chaotic Fiends with disdain, but as if he were looking at some precious treasure.

"However, I still need to break through to the True Immortal Realm first. Otherwise, I won't be a match for slightly stronger Chaotic Fiends."

Wu Yidao sensed the aura nearby, his expression becoming extremely grave.

He felt the presence of many Chaotic Fiends nearby, some even at the Golden Immortal level. With his current cultivation, going over there would be suicide, so for the sake of safety, Wu Yidao decided to break through to the True Immortal Realm first.

Anyway, he had previously broken through to the Red Dust Immortal Peak, and coupled with the significant amount of Chaos Law power absorbed from killing the Chaotic Fiend, he was only a step away from the True Immortal Realm; with some effort, he could break through.

Meanwhile, in the Central Region, the aura on Wu Yifan's body gradually grew stronger. Layers of golden patterns covered his body; these were the marks of the Ancient Sacred Body. His sturdy muscles, set against the golden patterns, appeared to possess a hint of divinity.

Beside Wu Yifan, Duan De watched this scene and could not help but reveal an envious expression.

"When will I have a physique as good as that?"

It wasn't that Duan De hadn't tried to lose weight, or rather, the previous Duan De hadn't been a fat man. But even when he lost weight back then, he didn't look very good, so he simply stopped caring. Combined with the blow of certain events, his physique had gradually become what it was now over time.

Duan De had broken through to the True Immortal Middle Stage. He had woken up specifically to see when Wu Yifan would successfully upgrade the Ancient Sacred Body to the twelfth layer.

The day he and Wu Yifan emerged from the mountains would be the time of the Lin Family Ancestor's fear!

Meanwhile, in the Lin Family, as Wu Yifan and Duan De had been quiet for a while, Lin Xukun's expression gradually turned ugly. After all, if those two guys were determined to hide, he probably wouldn't be able to find them at all.

"Damn it, where on earth are they? Put out a bounty for me! If anyone can provide information on those two thieves, I will reward them with one Immortal King Artifact. If they capture them alive, I will reward them with five Immortal Sovereign Artifacts. If they kill them, I will reward them with three Immortal Sovereign Artifacts!"

As time passed, Lin Xukun grew increasingly restless. This was his opportunity to prove himself to his father. If he let his father and even the entire group of Lin Family elders become disappointed in him because of this matter, it would be a loss that outweighed the gain.
