Bang!

Yan Luo used the crab shell shield to smash open the stone beast's claw in front of him, and the bone tightly clenched in his right hand swung down hard.

At this moment, the bone reached its end, breaking onto the stone beast's head, causing it damage and exploding violently, with many fragments embedding themselves into Yan Luo's body.

"Damn it!"

Yan Luo cursed angrily, flinging away the remaining half of the bone in his hand, clenched his right hand into a fist, and punched toward the stone beast's head.

When you're unlucky, even cold water cracks a tooth; Yan Luo was at his peak of misfortune now.

Not only pursued by demons in the Abyss, but chased to the Central Domain Seventh Outpost where the outpost officers coveted his secrets, originally intending to sneak back to Crimson No.2, yet was discovered by demons midway, and it wasn't just any demon, it was a stone beast!

The only handy weapon Yan Luo had acquired on this journey was the bone from the tiger-striped python, and he hadn't seen any armor, so the crab shell became ragged, only half remained, but he had to keep using it.

From the current situation, the crab shell shield was also done for.

Despite his heavy punch, the stone beast showed no signs of sluggishness.

As an elemental demon, the stone beast had no other weakness besides its core; their appearance was deceiving.

The stone beast facing Yan Luo now was only danger level, resembling a wild boar. According to Yan Luo's analysis, its core must be hidden deep within its body; to destroy the stone beast's core, one must dismantle its shell.

But the problem was, Yan Luo was now unarmed!

Yan Luo's fist hit the stone beast, not causing it any effective damage, but instead, his skin was scraped off.

The stone beast lifted its head upward. If Yan Luo hadn't raised his shield to block, he would have been thrown away.

Crab shell shield shattered completely with this strike.

At this moment, Yan Luo utterly lost all equipment.

"Ha, hahaha... Well, well, well!"

Yan Luo clenched his fists tightly, involuntarily grinned, revealing a smile.

His eyeballs trembled in their sockets, a manic color overflowing from his eyes.

Watching the stone beast charge again, Yan Luo erupted in a roar, throwing out a punch.

He battered his fist till it was dripping with blood, yet halted the stone beast's charge.

Then, another punch!

Another punch! Another punch! Punch, punch, punch…

"Laozi will! Smash!! You!!!"

Yan Luo threw punch after punch, never stopping, roaring and shattering the stone beast's body into pieces, continuously dismantling its shell.

Along with the punches, Yan Luo's hands spattered blood, with each swing widening his wounds.

But he didn't care, not a bit.

Compared to death, what's this pain worth?

After Yan Luo punched, the stone beast couldn't resist anymore, being punched repeatedly until its shell was shattered, soon exposing its core to the air.

Yan Luo reached out to grab the stone beast's core, suddenly exerting his five fingers to crush it.

A piece of material fell down, Yan Luo didn't glance at it, turned toward the Dark Forest, and sprinted wildly.

Yan Luo no longer concealed his whereabouts, rampaging through the Obsidian Hills.

Steel-clamp ants, killed; rock python, killed; petrified moth, killed; cold-horned sheep, killed...

The fallen jaw of a steel-clamp ant was used by Yan Luo as a dagger to pierce the eyes of the rock python, petrified moth's scales were used to kill the cold-horned sheep, and the cold-horned sheep's horns became Yan Luo's main weapon, with which he killed at least fifteen demons.

Any demon standing in his way, Yan Luo showed not an ounce of mercy, directly charging up and slaying them.

Occasionally devouring some demon's flesh to replenish the heavily consumed magic power.

A single wound on Yan Luo's body hadn't healed before three more appeared.

Logically, Yan Luo's wounds should increase over time, but due to numerous injuries, his body was stimulated and began strengthening in terms of recovery.

Yan Luo's wounds didn't increase over time, instead getting fewer; each injury, unless damaging internal organs, took only a few hours to heal.

With enhanced recovery, physical stamina naturally increased significantly.

Yan Luo stirred up another storm in the Abyss, gaining strength and pleasure with every battle.

According to his original plan, it would take almost a day to cross the Obsidian Hills into the Dark Forest's borders, but now, he did it in eighteen hours.

Just stepping into the Dark Forest, Yan Luo encountered a fire-line python, and it was even deadly-level.

That serpent emanating heat rushed upon seeing Yan Luo, unsuspecting that Yan Luo had the same intention.

"Good to come, good to come!"

Yan Luo squeezed out a smile, "Saves me the trouble of finding you!"

The fire-line python rushed toward Yan Luo, attempting to bind and roast him alive with its high temperature, just as it had hunted before.

However, it didn't expect Yan Luo not only didn't flee but charged directly toward it.

The fire-line python abruptly halted, raising its upper body, yet was grabbed by Yan Luo's hand.

Yan Luo's speed was swift, faster by several times than the fire-line python, and the python never anticipated someone would actively grab its body.

Sizzle!

As Yan Luo grasped the fire-line python's body, blisters instantly formed on his palm, just like when he previously held the hot-melt axe's back.

Immediately, Yan Luo's other hand gripped the fire-line python's body.

Both of Yan Luo's hands were being burnt, but showed no sign of loosening, the fire-line python seized the chance to coil around Yan Luo's right leg.

"Break!! It!!"

A loud shout rang out, Yan Luo's arms and spine suddenly exerted force, forcibly tearing the fire-line python's head from its body.

Blood spurted from the severed trunk, Yan Luo tilted his head, receiving the 150°C hot blood with his fragile throat.

At the moment the fire-line python's blood entered his mouth, Yan Luo's tongue got burned, but he didn't care, forcibly drinking this hotter-than-boiling water liquid.

Generally, serpentine demons can survive for a while after decapitation, but Yan Luo drank half of the fire-line python's blood, and due to excessive blood loss, the python directly died.

The scorching body in his hand suddenly disappeared, Yan Luo ignored whatever might have dropped, directly proceeding forward.

"Cough, cough, cough cough cough..."

In the following minutes, Yan Luo continuously coughed blood.

He coughed up his own blood, not the fire-line python's.

The fire-line python's blood had already transformed into magic power when its body vanished, staying safely in Yan Luo's stomach.

Coughing blood because his throat and intestines were burnt, each breath was akin to tearing a wound.

To save this battered body, the digestive system accelerated, striving against the injuries to digest the magic power for Yan Luo.

Nurtured by magic power, Yan Luo's internal injuries gradually healed.

"The viscera… have been trained too…"

Yan Luo revealed a neurotic smile, starting to plan his next training regime.

He was still too weak, realizing he could ingest demons to gain magic power, yet these months hadn't progressed much.

Whether engravers or demons, he couldn't defeat any!

If fighting barehanded, he would likely be the one to lose.

Yan Luo became aware of his severely lacking strength; if his power were immense, he wouldn't need to hide and dare each moment.

With great strength, those city-breaking level demons wouldn't dare to hunt him!

After another few minutes, the burning sensation in his throat and stomach vanished completely, meanwhile, Yan Luo's left shoulder wound inflicted by the raging wind toad fully healed.

Yan Luo continued slaying demons encountered along the way, absorbing magic power, while deliberately injuring himself, through wounds strengthening his body continuously.

Can feel it, can feel it—

His strength rose rapidly, even barehanded, able to tear apart deadly-level demons.

Although not yet rivaling city-breaking level demons, even dangerous-level stone-armored bears couldn't withstand a few of his punches.

"I should've done this from the start… what's the point of being timid and shrinking…" Yan Luo muttered softly, swiftly approaching the Red Two Entrance.

An immense, overwhelming force pressed forward, Yan Luo's beast intuition heightened by deliberate training keenly sensed the looming terror ahead.

City-breaking level demons gather, preparing to invade Blue Star!

But, so what?

Yan Luo chuckled lowly, suddenly accelerating his pace, rushing forward.
