Chapter 688: Rift Demon Body Refining
Li Fan looked in the direction where the sound came from, and saw a monk with a bare upper body, a slim figure but full of muscular bodies, roaring to the sky near the center of the whirlpool, where wind and thunder were surging.
Around him, he could vaguely see countless tiny tornadoes circling. In the center of the whirlwind, it was pitch black, as if space itself had been torn apart.
The strong man swayed in the wind, and miniature tornadoes appeared and disappeared in an instant with his movements.
Li Fan, who was still some distance away from the center of the whirlpool, was already hurt by the strong wind. But the strong man at the core did not take any protection. He just let the violent wind blow on his body, making a crisp sound of metal collision.
"He is..."
Li Fan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Although this was the first time they met in this life, Li Fan had met him once in his previous life.
It was Dongfang Yao who was in charge of the construction of the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array in Wanli Yanfen Beach and Hualing Stream. He was a close friend of Huangfu Song and had already reached the level of God Transformation at that time.
But now, it seems that he has not crossed that threshold and is still in the Nascent Soul stage.
"Interesting. Without any fluctuations in spiritual energy, he was able to block all the strong winds with his strong body. As I remember, the body refining method in the Xuanhuang Realm should be restricted by the heaven and earth, and progress would be extremely slow after reaching a certain level of cultivation. I don't know how he cultivated to this point..."
Li Fan did not rush forward, but observed Dongfang Yao's enlightenment from afar.
The wind was raging, and the water in the whirlpool was becoming more and more turbulent. Dongfang Yao tried to keep his balance in the storm and move towards the center of the whirlpool. With every step forward, he could faintly hear the creaking sound of his body being squeezed by the strong pressure.
"Hmph!" Dongfang Yao let out a loud roar, veins on his neck bulged and his muscles seemed to be covered with a faint golden light.
Resolutely, he continued to move closer to the center of the vortex.
Suddenly, a black crack appeared in front of Dongfang Yao like lightning. It was like a sword, slashing at his body.
"Boom!" There was a deafening muffled sound that even penetrated the wind and rain. A blood mark appeared on Dongfang Yao's body and his body was forced to retreat several steps.
He was not surprised but happy.
"I finally waited for you!"
A strange cry came out of his throat, and then Dongfang Yao's seemingly serious injuries were healed in an instant. He stomped his feet into the air, and his body suddenly exploded, leaping forward dozens of feet in an instant.
A huge black crack seemed to appear suddenly, but also seemed to have existed since ancient times, but was always hidden and could not be seen by outsiders.
The black light was like a sword, splitting Dongfang Yao's body fiercely along the center line.
"puff!"
Dongfang Yao's skin was torn apart and he was almost ripped open on the spot. He retreated violently and escaped thousands of feet away in an instant, returning to a safe place outside the vortex.
"Are you okay, fellow Daoist?" Li Fan greeted him upon seeing this.
He did not approach him, but just flicked a healing pill over. It was the [Hundred Healing Pills] that Liu San specially prepared for him on this trip. Although it was not a holy medicine that could revive the dead or turn bones into flesh, it was also a top-grade healing medicine. Generally, injuries could be healed in a few breaths after taking it.
Dongfang Yao reached out and took the Baiyu Pill. He only took a look at it and swallowed it whole.
"It's a small matter! Thank you for your concern!" While he was saying this, the scars on his body that originally looked quite tragic had actually healed completely.
Not even a scar was left.
This is certainly partly due to the Baiyu Pill, but more importantly it is because Dongfang Yao himself has a strong physique.
Li Fan couldn't help but look sideways.
"What's your name, fellow Daoist?" Dongfang Yao temporarily stopped practicing in the wind and rain and flew to Li Fan's side.
"My name is Li Fan. I heard about the great whirlpool in Ningxu Prefecture, so I came to take a look as I passed by. I didn't expect to meet such a remarkable person like you, fellow Taoist!" Li Fan's eyes swept over Dongfang Yao's muscular body, with a hint of amazement in his eyes.
"My name is Dongfang Yao!" He waved his hands. "I'm not a strange man! I'm just a bit stronger!"
"Fellow Daoist Dongfang is too modest. With such a strong body, even the legendary physical cultivators from ancient times might not be as good as you, right?" Li Fan said in amazement.
Dongfang Yao laughed: "I like to hear that..."
He was about to say something else, but suddenly turned around and looked towards the center of the whirlpool.
Amid the sound of wind and thunder, a black shadow seemed to emerge.
"Please wait for a moment, my friend. I will be back soon!"
The sound was still echoing in the air, and the man had already rushed to the center of the vortex like lightning.
The huge roar and collision sounds rang out again.
After a few breaths, Dongfang Yao returned to Li Fan, covered in blood and looking quite embarrassed.
This time, Li Fan did not take out the Baiyu Pill, but watched Dongfang Yao heal himself quietly.
His injuries were worse than before, but he only put in a little more effort and they were fully recovered.
"It turns out that I worried for nothing and wasted a good pill." Li Fan was stunned when he saw this and said so deliberately.
"Haha, not wasted! It's still hidden in my belly." Dongfang Yao patted his belly proudly and said with a smile.
Li Fan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Daoyou is really a wonderful person!"
Dongfang Yao smiled but said nothing.
"You can stay in the vortex of ancient rift for such a long time without changing your expression. Brother Li, you are really a true man who never reveals his true colors!" After a while, he looked at Li Fan deeply and said meaningfully.
Li Fan showed a helpless look on his face: "The Xuanhuang Realm is full of dangers. Without some means, how can I dare to go out and wander around. However, these are just some methods to quickly restore spiritual energy. Compared with Daoist friends' means, they are still far inferior."
"I've heard that the art of body refining is extremely difficult to practice. Fellow Daoist, you can be called a peerless genius since you have been able to practice to this level!" Li Fan said with some admiration.
Although Dongfang Yao said that it was a compliment, he couldn't hide the pride in his heart.
"It's just that my physique is naturally a little special."
As he spoke, a black crack appeared in the center of the vortex again. Dongfang Yao paused the conversation and rushed towards it again.
Wait until he returns from his injuries and then talk to Li Fan.
This happened again and again, and Li Fan slowly learned some inside information from Dongfang Yao.
It turned out that Dongfang Yao, like Ye Feipeng, had a trace of ancient monster blood in his body.
Although thousands of years had passed and the bloodline was almost negligible, Dongfang Yao was fortunate enough to obtain a rare treasure in a certain encounter, which fully developed the potential of his own monster bloodline.
"I was worried at first that it might turn into something neither human nor monster, but that thing is really magical," Dongfang Yao exclaimed.
