After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn,
The Crimson Thunder Leopard panted heavily as it stared at the unharmed man before it, an uncontrollable fear rising in its heart.
Its wounds had torn open again from its frenzied attacks, blood pooling on the ground, while the other man hadn’t lost so much as a hair.
"What kind of monster are you?!" the Crimson Thunder Leopard cried in terror.
Gu Qingfeng ignored it, instead picking up the pill it had swatted away earlier. With a sinister grin, he approached, "Come here, little darling. Take this medicine—it’ll make you even fiercer."
"Y-you... stay away from me!"
Gu Qingfeng grabbed the leopard’s jaw, forcing the pill down its throat.
The pill was called the Exploding Origin Pill, a drug that traded life force for immense power. He couldn’t remember which "fortunate donor" he had "liberated" it from—there were too many to keep track of.
But that didn’t matter. As long as the effects were good.
Besides, Gu Qingfeng had personally refined this Exploding Origin Pill. He found the original version too mild—taking one wouldn’t even guarantee death, just leave you half-dead. What kind of power could you even get from that?
So he had added several potent ingredients. Now, taking it meant certain death, but the power gained was more than doubled. A life for strength—naturally, the results were extraordinary!
As the Crimson Thunder Leopard swallowed the pill—
BOOM!
An unimaginable surge of demonic energy erupted from its body!
Its grievous wounds healed in an instant, and its aura skyrocketed!
It had been at the peak of the Earth Origin realm, but now it faintly reached the early stages of Heaven Origin!
The leopard’s body swelled, muscles bulging like inflated balloons, bones cracking and elongating as if mutating!
ROAR—!
A deafening howl tore through the mountains and forests!
"Damn you, human! You fed me a death pill! I’ll drag you down with me!"
Though the Crimson Thunder Leopard had gained tremendous power, it could feel its life force burning away. It would be dead within moments—so it raged with fury.
Gu Qingfeng ignored its roars, instead staring greedily at its now monstrous, muscle-bound form.
"Keh keh keh... My refined Exploding Origin Pill is truly magnificent! It actually pushed it to Heaven Origin! If I gave this to a Heaven Origin peak demon, could it reach the Celestial Realm?"
Gu Qingfeng was overcome with manic joy. He had made yet another breakthrough in exploiting demons.
"Die!"
The Crimson Thunder Leopard roared, lunging forward with explosive speed. In an instant, it appeared above Gu Qingfeng’s head, its massive claws gleaming as they slashed down. The sheer force of the strike cracked the ground before it even landed.
Gu Qingfeng spread his arms with a mad grin, as if welcoming the attack.
BOOM—!
The collision sent shockwaves ripping through the earth, splitting the ground and snapping ancient trees in half.
Leaves rained down like a storm, only to disintegrate into dust.
Ding!
Host has been attacked by the Crimson Thunder Leopard.
Constitution +1,000,000 +1,000,000 +1,000,000...
ROAR!
The leopard howled in agony—it felt like it had struck a needle. Its claw was pierced straight through, passing right through Gu Qingfeng’s body before slamming into the ground.
"Huh?"
Gu Qingfeng blinked in confusion. "System, why isn’t my cultivation increasing?"
System: "Your cultivation has reached the current realm’s maximum limit. Unless you choose to condense a Divine Core now, it cannot increase further."
"Oh. Then never mind."
Gu Qingfeng wasn’t about to condense his Divine Core now. Without the Ethereal Spirit Water and the Emperor’s Scripture, the best he could achieve was a Nine-Tier Flawless Divine Core.
"Damn human, what are you muttering about?!"
The Crimson Thunder Leopard roared again, its body surging with lightning as it unleashed a torrent of electricity at Gu Qingfeng.
WHACK!
A brutal slap sent several of its fangs flying.
"Stop with the damn lightning! Fight me properly!"
Lightning was useless against his Primordial Sacred Body.
But the leopard seemed to misunderstand—thinking Gu Qingfeng feared its lightning, it intensified the attack.
Enraged, Gu Qingfeng pinned it down and pummeled it mercilessly.
After another incense stick’s worth of time...
The Crimson Thunder Leopard—deceased!
Storing the corpse, Gu Qingfeng continued on his way.
......
Over the next few days, Gu Qingfeng ventured deeper, targeting areas teeming with demons. Wherever he went, demon nests were overturned, and countless Heaven Origin demons fell to his hands.
He burned through his stock of Exploding Origin Pills, forcing him to set up a cauldron and refine several new batches on the spot.
Though his cultivation hadn’t increased by a single iota, his Prison-Dragging Elephant Body grew stronger by the day, reaching a point where even Heaven Origin attacks couldn’t breach his defenses.
Now, he could truly say—within the Divine Core realm, he could do as he pleased!
Yet strangely, his Prison-Dragging Elephant Body still hadn’t advanced.
Gu Qingfeng could only assume its tier was too high—he needed even stronger demons to push it further.
Unfortunately, even after feeding multiple Heaven Origin peak demons his Exploding Origin Pills, none could breach the Celestial Realm. The gap was simply too vast.
"The strongest demons in the Hanging Heaven Secret Realm are only at Heaven Origin peak. They can’t help me improve anymore. Time to find some 'fortunate donors'—and maybe the Ethereal Spirit Water while I’m at it."
During these days, Gu Qingfeng had encountered very few human cultivators. His path was the opposite of theirs—while they sought treasures and avoided demons, he charged straight into their lairs.
He wasn’t in a hurry to hunt for treasures. The Hanging Heaven Secret Realm would remain open for a full month before anyone could leave.
Why bother searching when he could just wait for others to find them, then "liberate" the spoils?
Now, it was time to see how many treasures those kind souls had gathered for him.

"Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet."
