Chapter 500: Slaying a Level 4 Yao Beast

Xiao Fan left the cave…

At this moment, within the Secret Realm, conflicts between the Four Great Forces were becoming increasingly frequent…

It was fine when they first encountered ordinary Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines, but later, upon finding rare ten-thousand-year Spirit Medicines, they could no longer restrain themselves and immediately started fighting.

Among the Four Great Forces, the Jixian Sect was at a slight disadvantage as they only had seven members!

The other three forces each had eight members, giving them a numerical advantage.

The people from the Treasure Pavilion were nowhere to be found; they hadn't shown themselves from the beginning, and no one knew what they were up to.

Xiao Fan traveled for half a day. In this Secret Realm, the spiritual energy was dense, and the Yao Beasts growing here were much larger than those in the outside world.

Xiao Fan looked at a ten-thousand-year Spiritual Plant on the ground, his eyes gleaming.

"A ten-thousand-year Winter Dragon Grass." A smile curled at the corners of Xiao Fan's mouth.

Winter Dragon Grass was very common, but the ten-thousand-year variety had long been extinct in the outside world. Consuming a Spiritual Plant of this age directly provided immense benefits.

Since it was a Spiritual Plant that nourished spiritual energy, the benefits at ten thousand years would surely be even greater.

Xiao Fan approached step by step, intending to harvest it.

"Roar…"

However, at this moment, a wild boar suddenly charged out from nearby. It was over ten meters long, six meters tall, covered in long black hair, and possessed sharp tusks!

The massive wild boar roared incessantly at Xiao Fan, as if asserting its sovereignty, telling Xiao Fan that this Spiritual Plant belonged to it!

Xiao Fan's gaze narrowed as he looked at the wild boar, discovering that its cultivation was actually at the Tongtian Realm Great Perfection.

A wild boar of this level had already developed spiritual intelligence; its IQ was no different from a human's.

However, because there were no members of the Human Race in this Secret Realm, they could not speak human language.

"I really need this Spiritual Plant." Xiao Fan let out a breath.

If any other Tongtian Realm Ninth Layer expert encountered this wild boar, they would surely have chickened out, but what did he have to fear?

All he could think about now was making himself stronger.

"Roar!" "Roar!"…

Seeing Xiao Fan continue to approach the Winter Dragon Grass, the wild boar roared and charged over, intending to ram Xiao Fan to death!

Its massive tusks were two meters long, taller than Xiao Fan himself.

Xiao Fan remained calm. When the wild boar charged, he easily grabbed one of its tusks with one hand and then struck with a powerful punch from his other hand!

He knocked the wild boar flying backward for nearly a hundred meters…

"Awoo!" "Awoo!"…

Realizing it was no match, the wild boar fled in a panic, but before running off, it glared at Xiao Fan with a malicious gaze!

That look seemed to be saying: "Just you wait!"

Xiao Fan ignored it, harvested the Winter Dragon Grass, and swallowed it in one gulp!

"The spiritual energy is truly dense…" Xiao Fan exhaled, his expression full of joy.

His own aura improved once more. Massive amounts of spiritual energy swirled within his body, and he hurriedly sat cross-legged to refine it.

That wild boar might have gone to call for help; Xiao Fan could guess that much.

But the highest strength in this Secret Realm was only the Xuandan Realm Great Perfection. If he couldn't beat them, couldn't he just run?

What was there to fear…

As the spiritual energy was refined, Xiao Fan's own aura continued to climb.

An hour later, the Winter Dragon Grass was fully refined.

He was now one step closer to the Xuandan Realm, and his Foundation was even more solid.

"I must solidify my Foundation before I can advance; I cannot be impatient…"

Xiao Fan exhaled. Advancing to a major Realm could not be done carelessly.

The reason he could challenge those at higher Realms was partly due to his powerful Cultivation Technique, and partly because his own Foundation was solid!

Xiao Fan continued forward, leaving the spot!

Half an hour later…

Sounds of beastly footsteps came from behind Xiao Fan… They were fast, clearly heading straight for him.

Xiao Fan stopped and looked back. The wild boar he had beaten away earlier was leading three even stronger wild boars as they charged over!

"Trouble has arrived, has it…" Xiao Fan exhaled, assessing the few wild boars.

The strongest was a wild boar around the Xuandan Realm Fifth Layer. The other two were both at the Xuandan Realm Third Layer, plus the original wild boar at the Tongtian Realm Ninth Layer.

"Three Level 4 Yao Beasts…"

"Awoo!"…

The wild boars let out beastly roars, extremely angry and full of Killing Intent. By the looks of it, they intended to eat Xiao Fan alive!

If it were any other Tongtian Realm expert, it would surely be a life-or-death situation!

But…

The four wild boars charged directly at him. The wild boar with Xuandan Realm Fifth Layer strength had an even larger build, with a body length of nearly twenty meters…

The spiritual energy in the Secret Realm was dense, and all creatures and plants were unusually large; wild boars were no exception!

Xiao Fan exhaled. Since these wild boars had Killing Intent toward him, he naturally didn't intend to hold back.

A pitch-black longsword appeared, and Xiao Fan shouted loudly!

"Kill!"

He seemed to transform into a ferocious demon, attacking with full force!

The four wild boars were massive, their combat power was astonishing, and Yao Beasts were naturally thick-skinned and extremely durable!

However, the four wild boars were still no match for Xiao Fan.

A quarter of an hour later…

All four wild boars were dead!

Xiao Fan only wanted to make himself stronger now…

"The meat of a beast that has reached the Xuandan Realm should be very beneficial." Xiao Fan exhaled.

In the outside world, beasts that reached Xuandan Realm strength—Level 4 Yao Beasts—were extremely rare in Wuhuang Province.

Not only were the Yao Beasts' monster cores valuable, but even their carcasses were worth a lot; it was said they were highly nourishing!

Xiao Fan had never eaten one before.

Consequently, he started a fire, intending to roast some wild boar meat to see how it tasted.

Xiao Fan also took the opportunity to let the Golden-Haired Lion out.

"Woo-awoo!"…

After the Golden-Haired Lion came out, it let out a cry to the sky, then widened its lion eyes and looked around.

The look of shock on its face grew increasingly intense…
