The Crystal-Erosion King Worm subconsciously moved away from Xue Kong, flew far away, and stared closely at the changes happening in Xue Kong's body.
The body, which was originally lifeless and dead like a corpse, suddenly came alive. Its muscles bulged slightly and a dull sound like a war drum came from inside its body.
Soon, Xue Kong's body began to tremble involuntarily, and the ground beneath him also trembled. A roar came from the mountain, and countless pieces of gravel fell from it, as if a giant beast pressed under the mountain was about to be born.
"What an amazing body." The Crystal-Eroding Kingworm muttered to itself, even it was surprised.
Xue Kong's eyes flashed brightly. His body, which was originally unable to move, now felt a warm feeling. He gently raised his right hand and slapped the storage bag. Immediately, pills flew out of it and all fell into his mouth.
These pills were all purchased by him from Taotie Beast City. They are suitable for Nascent Soul cultivators to swallow and contain extremely large amounts of spiritual energy.
At this moment, it spread out, creating a strong spiritual wind on Xue Kong's body, which made the Crystal Erosion King Insect in the air unable to control its body and began to sway.
Xue Kong's long black hair danced wildly in the spiritual wind. His eyes flashed with brilliance, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He murmured, "The second level of the Demon Blood Treasure Record... Heavenly Demon Battle Body!"
As Xue Kong's voice fell, a sound like a war drum came out of his body again, beating loudly. Under the sound of the war drum, his body's recovery ability suddenly increased again, and the strange magic pattern belonging to the demon body emerged from his chest.
It immediately spread throughout the body.
This time, except for the head, the entire body, from the neck to the soles of the feet, was covered with magic patterns. The powerful recovery ability made Xue Kong recover a lot of the injuries caused by refining the precious blood of the horned snake.
The Crystal-Erosion King Worm looked at Xue Kong now and said in amazement: "He is clearly a human, but he possesses a body like a demon beast. Not only is his physical strength strong, but he also has recovery ability and demonic power... these magic patterns..."
"It really looks like a young ancient monster."
The powerful recovery ability continued to repair Xue Kong's injuries, allowing his body, which had been unable to move just now, to stand up all of a sudden. The movement caused severe pain, but this pain could not be compared with the pain of life and death. Xue Kong remained calm and looked at the Crystal-Eroding King Worm.
"You saved me again."
"So you knew that, huh, huh. I thought you didn't know." The Crystal-Erosion Kingworm raised its head proudly. "But you don't have to thank me. I'm not interested in anything on you. I don't like it."
The Crystal-Erosion Kingworm's words were very straightforward.
Xue Kong didn't care and nodded: "You can devour the vitality of the dead tree at will. If you continue to stay by my side, if you need my help one day in the future, I will do my best to help you."
"Silly boy, there's no need for my help. The person who can kill me has not been born in this world yet... Even if there is, he can't move." The Crystal-Eroding King Insect touched his chin, thinking about something.
"I understand." Xue Kong thought that this insect, which was completely black and looked ordinary, but actually only had blood with miraculous healing effects, was bragging, so he immediately ignored it.
"Silly boy, don't let yourself be on the verge of death again. I can't save you again and again. My ability is limited and I can't exert my strength."
After the Crystal Erosion Kingworm finished speaking, Xue Kong was about to ask something, but it waved its hand and said, "I'm going back to sleep. Don't disturb me if there's nothing else."
Its figure flashed, turned into a black stream of light, and sank into Xue Kong's chest.
Xue Kong lowered his head and glanced at his chest, without saying anything in silence. The origin of the Crystal-Eroding King Worm was mysterious, and with his current cultivation level, he was afraid that he would not be able to trace the source, so he simply ignored it.
Perhaps we'll find out when the time comes.
In just a short while, under the powerful recovery ability of the Heavenly Demon Battle Body, Xue Kong's injuries have recovered almost completely. Even he himself was surprised: "Such recovery ability is worthy of being a battle body. With it, as long as the injury is not fatal, I can recover quickly."
"I have gained another great advantage in the battle!"
He took out a clean black robe from his storage bag, put it on, and just as he took a step, he heard a crackling sound of bones colliding with each other, and then a feeling of comfort spread throughout his body.
Xue Kong smiled slightly and came to the snake's corpse.
The body of the horned snake, whose precious blood had been refined, had become shriveled, and its flesh, blood, and skin, which were originally precious, had lost their usefulness as the precious blood left.
However, just when Xue Kong thought that there was nothing valuable on the snake corpse and was about to step over it, his eyes suddenly flashed, stared at the corpse, and his spiritual sense suddenly spread out and groped over.
After a moment, the smile on his face became even wider.
He raised his right hand slightly, and then there was a bang. The snake's body collapsed, and flesh and skin flew everywhere. Suddenly, a thing emitting a strange aura came out from the broken body. It rushed out of the cave and was about to fly away.
"It actually cultivated a demon pill." Xue Kong strode out of the cave and chased after the demon snake pill.
When a cultivator reaches the Jindan stage, he can cultivate a golden elixir, which then breaks into an infant, thus achieving the Yuanying stage.
However, there is no such thing as golden elixir and primordial infant for monsters.
When their cultivation reaches a certain level, some monsters will produce monster pills. This is the source of their cultivation and contains enormous monster power. Their strength will also be greatly improved due to the appearance of these monster pills.
There will be a huge gap in strength between a demon beast with a demon pill and a demon beast without a demon pill, even if they are in the same realm.
Xue Kong was extremely fast, rushing forward in the sky, and soon he grabbed the demon pill that was emitting purple light. A warm feeling came from the demon pill.
This demon pill was extremely large, occupying Xue Kong's entire palm and emitting a strong demonic aura.
"I'm not a demon beast... I can't absorb this demon pill. Even the demon energy on the demon pill is harmful to me. However, it can be used in alchemy and refining equipment. It's a good harvest."
Xue Kong smiled brightly. After putting away the demon pill, he raised his head and looked around. His consciousness as an early Nascent Soul spread in all directions, scanning the surrounding world.
Soon his figure flashed and he flew quickly in a certain direction.
Soon, Xue Kong appeared above a pool of water.
He looked down at the pool from mid-air. The pool was like a mirror on the earth. The surface was deep, but if you looked down into the pool, you couldn't see the bottom. It was pitch black.
"Heavenly Sword, appear!"
The Heavenly Sword suddenly flew out of the storage bag, circled in the air for several circles, and then headed straight for the pool of water. It rushed into the pool, bursting out with a domineering destructive intent, rumbling and stirring the pool, creating huge waves one after another.
In mid-air, Xue Kong kept staring at the pool.
In the depths of the darkness, two rays of light suddenly became bright, and then an angry roar came from the depths of the pool.
Xue Kong raised his right hand and pointed in the distance, and the Heavenly Sword immediately flew back and was about to return to Xue Kong.
In an instant, a tentacle flew out from the depths of the pool and headed straight for the Heavenly Sword.
