I'm About to Die, Can't I Buff My Junior Sister's Strength?

24: The terrified wolf, what kind of Grandmaster of Primordial Chaos is this?How is this possible... My Yao Beast race’s powerful Physical Body couldn’t even withstand a single punch from him?

What kind of Hunyuan Grandmaster is this?

Middle Realm?

Or High Realm?

And so young???

Old Ancestor Cang Lang was somewhat disbelieving, but the intense pain from his right arm instantly sobered him up. Following closely, another dazzling silver punch roared toward him, giving him no time to react.

At this moment, Old Ancestor Cang Lang showed unprecedented solemnity, completely losing the composure he had maintained earlier.

“I never thought Great Xia would produce a Prodigy like you. Fortunately, this King still has some savings after all these years...”

Just as his voice fell, an Ancient Talisman overflowing with Demonic Qi shot out.

The talisman rose to meet the attack, quickly transforming into black runes, finally forming a Demon Cauldron as black as night, suspended in mid-air like a black sun.

This Demon Cauldron had four hoof-shaped tripod legs, four raised double wings, and a carving of an unknown three-headed Vicious Beast in the center. A single glance was enough to strike fear into one’s heart.

“Killing you will be more than enough to recoup the cost!” Old Ancestor Cang Lang muttered inwardly with a pained expression, recovering from his injuries while looking at Shen Nian with resentment in his aged eyes.

This talisman was inscribed by the Demon Emperor of the Hell Three-Headed Bird Clan in the Heavenly Demon Cave. It was a gift bestowed upon him by his brother-in-law when his sister married into the clan.

If it weren’t for a critical moment, he would never have used it.

“It’s fine, it’s fine. As long as I kill him, his Precious Physical Body alone might be enough for me to take that final step. Achieving Nascent Soul will make everything worthwhile...” Thinking this, Old Ancestor Cang Lang felt slightly better.

He truly dared not be careless anymore. This Human Race youth’s Physical Body was terrifying, and his speed was alarming. Moreover, the opponent hadn’t even used a Divine Ability yet, meaning he definitely had other trump cards.

Dong!

A strange bell chime echoed across the sky, clashing against the dazzling punch Shen Nian blasted forth.

Boom!

The earth cracked, and the surrounding area centered on the two combatants began to collapse wildly. Countless Wolf Yao Beasts who couldn’t dodge were instantly pulverized into blood mist, and Xia Youyue was forced to retreat repeatedly.

“This...”

“What a terrifying Demon Talisman!”

“Where exactly did this old wolf come from...”

“Shen Nian...”

Xia Youyue gritted her teeth, tightly gripping her Long Spear, and stared intently at the Demon Bell formed by the Demon Talisman.

She truly hadn’t expected this old wolf to have so many tricks, possessing such a powerful Demon Talisman. That terrifying Aura was probably something even an Early Nascent Soul Stage cultivator couldn’t resist.

If she had rashly come here before, she would likely have faced certain death.

Not to mention the two other Great Demons!

Furthermore, the killing move she was brewing inside her body hadn’t finished condensing. She truly hadn’t expected Shen Nian to force Old Ancestor Cang Lang to use his trump card in a single exchange. This battle was too fast.

“Forget it, I can’t stand by and watch him fight alone!”

A look of determination flashed in Xia Youyue’s beautiful eyes. The Long Spear in her hand erupted with astonishing Aura, and the surrounding temperature began to drop sharply, with faint Ice Flowers descending.

However, just then, Xia Youyue’s expression froze as she looked into the air.

After Shen Nian smashed a punch onto the Demon Cauldron, he immediately extended his slender hand. His pupils were silver, his black hair wildly dancing, and his five fingers tightly gripped the raised wings of the Demon Cauldron. The Demon Cauldron shook and struggled madly, but that large hand seemed to possess infinite demonic power, ultimately stabilizing it completely.

Finally, Shen Nian directly placed the Demon Cauldron into his Storage Pouch. After taking a handful of nourishing origin pills, he heavily exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi.

At this time, faint cracks had appeared on his body surface, but they were rapidly healing at a visible rate.

The Entry-Level Indestructible Chaos Body almost failed to withstand this Demon Cauldron. It seems like a decent item.

It was worth the effort he put into collecting it.

Old Ancestor Cang Lang, who was standing nearby, completely collapsed upon seeing this scene.

“Monster!”

“High Realm Hunyuan Grandmaster?”

“What the Hell!”

Old Ancestor Cang Lang couldn’t help but curse, then turned around to flee, having no intention of continuing the fight.

He managed to withstand the Demon Talisman inscribed by the Demon Emperor. Even among Hunyuan Grandmasters, this youth belongs to the absolute top tier.

How is he supposed to fight this?

Run!

This was the only thought left in Old Ancestor Cang Lang’s mind; he was utterly terrified.

However, Shen Nian merely glanced sideways. After recovering a good amount of Spiritual Energy, thunder light reappeared beneath his feet. With a “bang,” the sound of breaking air rang out, and he vanished from his spot.

When he reappeared, he was already in front of Old Ancestor Cang Lang, and then his figure exploded into action.

His sturdy arm pressed directly onto Old Ancestor Cang Lang’s wolf head, and Shen Nian raised an eyebrow.

The Gigantic Wolf, which was like a small mountain, was instantly pressed onto the ground by the terrifying, immense force. A hint of fear appeared in Old Ancestor Cang Lang’s eyes. He tried to say something, but a punch slammed into his face.

Bang!

A ball of blood mist exploded. The massive wolf body instantly went limp, leaving only a dark, bloody hole on its empty neck.

Shen Nian reached in directly and retrieved a Demon Core—or more accurately, a Demon Infant, because this Demon Core had already grown limbs—and then tossed it into his Storage Pouch.

At this moment, the entire You Mountain fell silent.

The remaining Wolf Yao Beasts stood rooted to the spot, their four legs trembling, their wolf eyes staring fearfully at the white-robed youth. In all their years in Yunzhou, they had never seen such a terrifying member of the Human Race.

Xia Youyue was also stunned. This was the first time she had felt such an oppressive force from someone her age.

“I thought he had just entered the Hunyuan Grandmaster level, but I never expected him to already be in the High Realm...”

“With this speed of Body Tempering, how exactly did he achieve it...”

“Can a person really progress this quickly?”

If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, Xia Youyue would never have believed that Great Xia had such a young High Realm Hunyuan Grandmaster. Such a figure could be called a top Prodigy even in Eastern Profound... “Is it because of the Ninth Mountain Master...” Thinking this, Xia Youyue couldn’t help but feel an impulse to join the Ninth Mountain.

She only wanted to become stronger, to prevent Great Xia from being bullied by Xuan Guang Cave again, and to seek revenge!

Over the years, the Three Sects had offered her invitations, but she had refused them all. In her view, possessing the Heaven-Controlling Bottle meant she needed no guidance; she could forge her own Invincible Path.

But now that she had seen Shen Nian, she was starting to waver... After putting away the Demon Infant.

The next second, Shen Nian directly opened his Attribute Panel.

What he cared about most was not these items, but his fate.

[Major Life Event: Three days later, Great Demon Cang Lang appears in Great Xia’s Yunzhou City, slaughtering tens of thousands of common people. You are ordered to go to Great Xia’s Yunzhou City to Slay the Demon, intending to take Great Demon Cang Lang’s Demon Core to help yourself fully step into the Golden Core Stage. However, fate is unpredictable. Great Demon Cang Lang came prepared, having already arranged for two Great Demons at the Half-Step Nascent Soul level. Moreover, Cang Lang himself had one foot already in the Nascent Soul Realm and was about to become a Demon King. Their goal for this action was to ambush and kill as many Three Sects Prodigies as possible before he became a Demon King. After you appeared, they frantically tried to kill you. You displayed your Prodigy talent and heavily injured one Great Demon, but you were ultimately defeated and died...]

“It still hasn’t changed...”

“It seems I must kill them all!”

As Shen Nian thought this, he suddenly paused, his figure immediately shooting up and transforming into a Lightning Streak, vanishing from the spot.

I almost forgot!

Yunzhou... If Cang Lang moved tonight, the other two should be doing the same!

And right now, no one in Yunzhou can stop a Great Demon at the Half-Step Nascent Soul level!
