The black bear in the cave rose to its haunches, and all of its fur had fallen off and regrown countless times, giving it a pristine appearance. Following Fang Che's departure, the bear trudged over to the pond, but as opposed to bathing in it, it began greedily guzzling down the water in the pond. To Fang Che, the things expelled from his body were impurities, but they were priceless treasures to the black bear, and it only stopped drinking when its stomach was on the verge of bursting. From there, it began bathing itself, and there was already an intelligent gleam in its eyes. When is that man coming back? I have to clean up the cave before he returns. Now that it was a spirit beast, it was also finding the foul stench in the cave completely unbearable. No wonder none of the other bears want to mate with me when I'm such an unhygienic slob! Read complete version only at NoveIＦire.net Somewhere in the thick undergrowth, Fang Che had just cut down another General. His Five Spirit Parasite and the Golden Horn Flood Dragon immediately jumped out to feast on the spoils. Fang Che continued to travel while cultivating, killing everyone that he encountered. After traveling for around a thousand kilometers, he had claimed over a hundred more victims. For a prodigy of Fang Che's caliber, the difference between the fifth rank and the sixth rank was like night and day, and he could now easily slay any General at or below the seventh rank within two blows. The other Generals in here were perhaps eager to build connections and forge alliances, but Fang Che had no such inclinations. He had come here with the sole objective of claiming as many lives as possible, and he had no interest in making friends. Over the past few days, Fang Che had encountered three close calls. One one occasion, he had come across a black-robed General. After a single clash, Fang Che immediately realized that he was no match, and he quickly fled the scene. The other two close calls had both come from Yan Beihan. She had been pursuing Fang Che like a madwoman, and on one of those occasions, Fang Che was forced to flee using the Blood Incineration Technique, but even so, he had still been dealt a blow that pierced cleanly through his calf. On the flipside, Fang Che had the joyful experience of encountering a group of eight Generals from the One Heart Church. They immediately recognized him and knew that he was also from the One Heart Church, and Fang Che took advantage of their complacency to kill them all in a flash. It was the easiest eight kills that he had secured thus far, and it contributed to the primary mission assigned to him by Yin Shengong. As he continued onward, a group of figures appeared up ahead. Fang Che vaguely recalled that one of them seemed to be from the One Heart Church, so he yelled, "Who's there?" The group of six instantly swung around to face him, and sure enough, they were all Generals of the One Heart Church. The One Heart Church Generals were ecstatic to see his distinctive beard, and they all gathered around him to exchange pleasantries. "I'm surprised you're still alive after pulling that stunt outside!" "How many have you killed?" "How many have all of you killed?" Fang Che asked with a smile, redirecting the question back at the six Generals. "I've killed close to twenty already," one of them replied in a smug manner. "I've only taken out eight." "I'm about the same. My kill count is only twelve." "I doubt any of us will be able to secure a top-ten finish." The six Generals heaved a collective sigh. Fang Che also heaved a forlorn sigh. "Everyone's been targeting me ever since I came in here. Not only have I barely killed anyone, I've almost been killed myself quite a few times!" The six Generals collectively burst into laughter upon hearing this. "After seeing how arrogant you were outside, even we had half a mind to kill you, let alone everyone else!" "I may have bit off a bit more than I can chew," Fang Che sighed. "You've certainly made yourself a public enemy, that's for sure! Having said that, your courage is very admirable. What's your name? My name is..." Before the General had a chance to finish his sentence, Fang Che had already drawn his sword and unleashed a lightning-fast sequence of attacks. The six Generals stared at him in shock, fury, and despair as the life began to quickly drain out of their eyes. All of them had been struck in different vital regions, including the chest, the throat, the back of the head... The leader of the group clasped his hands around his throat as he gurgled, "How could you... We're your allies..." "Allies my arse!" Fang Che scoffed as he kicked him away. "There are no allies in the Parasite Ascension Project! I'm surprised a naive idiot like you didn't die sooner!" His Five Spirit Parasite and the Golden Horn Flood Dragon immediately pounced on the six victims. Fang Che was really beginning to relish this experience. Even in his past life, he rarely ever had the opportunity to cut down swathes of demonic church members , and the fact that he was killing the most prodigious Generals of all of the demonic churches made this an even more enjoyable experience. Ironically, the Generals from the One Heart Church were the easiest prey to target. They never had their guard up around him, making them easy pickings. With that in mind, Fang Che decided to expose his previously concealed One Heart Church symbol, hoping to attract more gullible lambs to the slaughter. Come to me, brothers and sisters of the One Heart Church! I'll send you all to the afterlife! By the time Fang Che returned to the basin where he had obtained the Cloud Water Heavenly Fruit, he had already slain 79 Generals from the One Heart Church alone, and his Five Spirit Parasite had grown significantly larger and more menacing in appearance. The Parasite Ascension Domain was like a small world, and all of the Generals that entered it were like 150,000 needles that had been cast into the sea. There was no day or night. Instead, it was constantly dim, as if the entire domain were enshrouded in a perpetual dusk. Inside the forests, the environment was even dimmer thanks to the dense undergrowth, and there was potentially danger lurking around every turn. Countless Generals were hiding in ambush in dark corners, and some had even burrowed themselves underground to prey on unsuspecting passerby. Occasionally, a dark shadow would be seen flying through the forest, only to be cut down in the blink of an eye. A Divine Heavenly Church General was flying over a swamp when a streak of swordlight abruptly erupted out of the swamp below, slicing him into two. Immediately thereafter, a flurry of attacks converged from all directions, and the General hiding in the swamp was slain before he even had a chance to surface. Some people were killed while approaching water sources for a drink. Some were debilitated by poisoned water sources before being slain. Some were in the process of having meals when they suddenly found their head separated from their body. Of course, there were even more people who had perished in direct battle. As time passed, the number of Generals in the Parasite Ascension Domain dwindled further and further. There were almost no wounded individuals as anyone that sustained wounds was quickly hunted down and killed. In this place, the wounded were as good as dead, and Fang Che was becoming more and more cautious. As stipulated by the law of survival of the fittest, those who survived to this point were all very troublesome to deal with, possessing exceptional combat prowess and alertness. It wasn't difficult for Fang Che to imagine how an experience could set these Generals up for the future. They were all prodigies to begin with, and if they could survive such a rigorous trial, then surviving in the outside world would be a cake walk for them. The instructors of White Cloud Warrior Academy and Yin Shengong had all evaluated Fang Che as someone capable of matching someone four ranks above him in battle. For example, as a sixth-rank General, he would be able to kill a first-rank Lord, but that only applied to normal Lords. When it came to the Generals that had survived up to this point, Fang Che would only be able to kill the eighth-rank Generals among them at most. If he were to encounter a ninth-rank General in here, then he would have no choice but to flee, and that advantage was whittled down even further in the face of super prodigies like Yan Beihan. Perhaps he could kill a ninth-rank General at the cost of sustaining severe injuries himself, but as aforementioned, sustaining injuries of any meaningful degree of severity would be no different from a death sentence in this place. Up to this point, Fang Che had already slain six Generals that were carrying spirit pets that were extremely sensitive to bloodlust. All of the spirit pets kept by these Generals fulfilled the same set of criteria: small, discreet, lethal, and fast! As expected of these demonic church prodigies! The Golden Horn Flood Dragon was flying all over the place, absorbing lingering soul power while simultaneously carrying out scouting duties for Fang Che. The Golden Horn Flood Dragon was a unique advantage of Fang Che's. Who could possibly imagine that he would have a ghost on his side? However, this was the extent of the Golden Horn Flood Dragon's current abilities, and Fang Che had no idea how long it would take until it would be ready to fight alongside him in battle. Having said that, it was very effective for distracting the enemy. After slaying a Divine Heavenly Church warrior, Fang Che quickly concealed himself. Just now, the Golden Horn Flood Dragon had blown a gust of yin wind down the back of the General's neck, and Fang Che had capitalized on his moment of distraction to take his life. It was quickly becoming more and more apparent to Fang Che how naive he had been, thinking that he had a chance of killing all of the Generals in the Parasite Ascension Project. Even if it were 150,000 pigs, he would struggle to round them up and kill them all within a month in such a massive place. Fang Che's latest victim was someone that he had already encountered thrice. He had managed to escape from Fang Che on two previous occasions, and he was one of the leaders of the Divine Heavenly Church Generals. The people in the domain were becoming sparser and sparser, and Fang Che's kill count was beginning to stall.
