Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

Chapter 333: Chapter 279: The Giant Ape and the Strange Artifact! (Double-Length Chapter)

Chu Wantong’s Spear Qi was imposing, filled with boundless Evil Qi, following the path of battlefield slaughter.

Huang the Fourth’s Innate Qi Aura also followed the path of battlefield slaughter, but it had an added weight, as heavy as mountains.

Their cultivation time in the Innate Realm was naturally much longer than Song Changming’s.

Previously, he estimated that Chu Wantong had at least unlocked two Earth Martial Veins as an Innate Practitioner; but now upon reflection, it should be three or even more, before having such formidable strength displayed.

The grandeur of Huang’s Innate Qi Aura somewhat fell short of Chu Wantong’s, and its intensity was inferior as well, likely due to a slightly lower Innate Cultivation.

”With the trait enhancement of my Fire Attuned Tao Body, the Fire Attribute Innate True Yang Qi Aura I wield is more powerful than before, but it’s still far inferior to these two...”

This disparity was naturally due to a lower Innate Cultivation.

Every breakthrough of an Earth Martial Vein is crucial, greatly affecting the upper strength limit of an Innate Practitioner and almost determining the strength relationship in confrontations.

The power gap between an Innate Martial Artist who has unlocked one Earth Martial Vein and one who has unlocked two is indeed difficult to bridge through other means.

It was only for someone like Song Changming, an unconventional Martial Artist whose Body Refining Cultivation surpassed Qi Refining Cultivation, that things might be different.

Song Changming kept comparing, as his understanding of the Innate Realm was still shallow, after all, he hadn’t had the chance to encounter these Innate Practitioners before.

Meanwhile, under the constant siege by Chu Wantong and others, a Demon Commander was first defeated, heavily injured, and captured.

The remaining strongest Demon Commander repeatedly tried to escape, but each attempt was thwarted by Song Changming, who blasted him back with a blade from the side.

No matter how spitefully the Demon Commander roared, he was eventually pierced through by Chu Wantong’s spear, his demon body destroyed, and his limbs severed by Huang the Fourth’s Great Axe, severely wounded and taken captive.

”Thanks to you again this time, young hero, thank you for your assistance!” After the battle ended, Chu Wantong said to Song Changming.

Song Changming shook his head, explaining what had occurred at Fengling Pavilion.

”They were targeting me...”

Hearing this, Chu Wantong frowned, apologetically said.

”It must be because you previously disrupted their operations, which is why they hold a grudge. This is my oversight; I will report this to the City Lord. If you feel the city is unsafe, you can follow me to the City Lord’s Mansion now...”

”No, I will leave Feng City early tomorrow, and I believe those demons won’t be able to track my whereabouts,” Song Changming declined Chu Wantong’s invitation.

”Very well, staying here would surely make you a thorn in the side of the Flower Raccoon clan; leaving would indeed reduce some trouble.

When we eliminate the Flower Raccoon clan, I will ask you to return to the city for a chat, as the City Lord has mentioned many times that he hasn’t properly thanked you.” Chu Wantong courteously bowed.

The two didn’t say much more, as Chu Wantong was in a hurry to return the captured Flower Raccoon Demons, he didn’t linger.

Upon returning to the city, Su Qingqing and the others were still waiting.

”Young Master.” Seeing Song Changming return, Su Qingqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

”Go back to rest; it’s already over.” Song Changming said, glancing at the half-destroyed Fengling Pavilion, shaking his head repeatedly.

”Ping’an, give some Spirit Coins to compensate the shopkeeper’s losses.”

Song Ping’an nodded upon hearing this.

This was indeed an ambush because of him, and Fengling Pavilion and other customers were unwittingly caught up in it.

Early the next morning, according to the planned schedule, Song Changming bid farewell to Li Jinyu and, along with Su Qingqing and Song Ping’an, headed towards Cui Bai Main City.

Based on gathered intelligence, heading to the main city wasn’t difficult, as one only needed to go north.

Cui Bai Dao had a total of twenty-eight large cities, like twenty-eight fixed coordinates.

Following the shortest route, he only needed to pass through seven of these cities to reach the main city.

According to the experiences of other Cui Bai Dao martial artists, using a fast horse and not wasting time along the way, one could reach the main city in about half a month.

However, riding on the two great dogs, with faster speed and stronger endurance, Song Changming estimated it wouldn’t take that long.

”If I could fly, it would probably take a day or two at most...” Sitting on White’s back, Song Changming mused.

Unfortunately, his Innate Cultivation was still too shallow.

Even for future convenience and freedom, he intended to quickly elevate his Innate Cultivation.

Otherwise, going to places farther away within Ancient Abyss Country wouldn’t be achievable.

Yun Province Cui Bai Dao was already so vast; imagine that Yun Province had thirty-six Dao paths.

And this was just one Yun Province...

”For now, I’ll establish my footing in Yun Province first...”

Finding a stable place and quickly enhancing his strength was his primary task.

Then he would seek information about his elder brother’s remains and act when the time was right.

The journey continued across mountains and valleys.

Su Qingqing, with her keen perception, suddenly sat up straight on White, looked sideways into the distance, and exclaimed.

”Young Master, look over there on the mountain!”

”The mountain peak?” On Dahuang’s back, Song Ping’an turned curiously to look and saw unusual milky-white mist gushing from the middle of a distant mountain.

”Isn’t that just a Spiritual Eye? We’ve seen quite a few on our way here.” Song Ping’an, used to it, asked with some puzzlement.

Spiritual Eyes refer to occasionally occurring underground Spiritual Qi eruptions in the wild.

This was also a manifestation of the dense Spiritual Qi in the Ancient Abyss Country, something that never happened in Da Lai Territory on the Other Shore of the Abyss.
