Fang Hong was completely stunned, his face filled with astonishment.

He never expected that this legendary supreme treasure, the void ring, would actually take the initiative to show him goodwill and even fly onto his finger of its own accord.

Could it be that because he had just slain so many Vicious Beasts, he had passed the trial set by the void ring, and thus gained its recognition, making it willing to take him as its master?

"Void ring, are you willing to follow me?" Fang Hong inquired.

As soon as he finished speaking, the void ring on his finger flickered slightly with a blue light.

A gentle intent was transmitted into Fang Hong’s sea ​​of ​​consciousness.

At the same time, it proactively established a mental connection with Fang Hong, completely finishing the master-recognition ceremony. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

From then on, this void ring would only obey his commands alone.

"Good, good, good. Good baby." Fang Hong extended his left hand and gently stroked the void ring on his finger, his face full of affection.

Following the chaos bell and the undead blade, he had successfully subdued another innate dao artifact, and it was the void ring, which was ranked so high!

As long as he continued to collect other innate dao artifacts, defeated those Immortal Realm overlords who occupied them, and seized the treasures in their hands then his goal of attaining Sainthood would truly be just around the corner.

Fang Hong focused his mind; the matter of defeating the Immortal Realm overlords could not be rushed.

After all, those were Heavenly Venerable experts who had been famous in the Immortal Realm for a long time, with unfathomable strength and profound foundations.

Wanting to defeat them was certainly not something that could be achieved overnight.

Before having absolute certainty, Fang Hong did not dare to act rashly.

At the very least, he had to first advance to the Heavenly Venerable realm and possess the strength to contend with them.

Thinking of this, Fang Hong delayed no longer. With a flash of his body, he entered the Years Pearl Space.

He directly fed all one thousand four hundred corpses of the Immortal Emperor-grade Vicious Beasts to the Demon Gourd.

The Demon Gourd immediately emitted a dense purple light, sucking all the Vicious Beast corpses into the gourd.

Then it began to circulate its internal refining power, transforming these corpses into pure dao pills.

Before long, the mouth of the Demon Gourd lit up with a dazzling light.

One by one, round and full Immortal Emperor-grade dao pills continuously sprayed out from the mouth of the gourd like beads, falling onto the ground and piling up into a small mountain of dao pills!

Without further delay, Fang Hong sat cross-legged in the air and gave a casual tug. All the Immortal Emperor-grade dao pills on the ground flew up, surrounding him.

Fang Hong took a breath, and the Immortal Emperor-grade dao pills turned into streaks of light, flying into his mouth.

Circulating the Ten Thousand Laws Origin Demon Art, he began to fully refine the dao pills to improve his cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, another two years passed.

This day, on a certain mountain peak within the Years Pearl Space, ten thousand rays of rosy light and a thousand streaks of auspicious Qi appeared as a pillar of light shot into the sky.

After a few breaths, that dazzling pillar of light slowly dissipated.

Fang Hong stood atop the mountain peak, his entire body emitting a powerful aura, causing the surrounding heaven and earth to tremble.

For two whole years in the Years Pearl Space, Fang Hong had already completely refined all the dao pills.

As the last dao pill thoroughly merged into his body, his cultivation soared, steadily breaking through from the Middle Stage Immortal Emperor and finally coming to a stable halt at the peak Immortal Emperor realm!

Now, he was only one final step away from the Heavenly Venerable position that countless Cultivators dreamed of!

Fang Hong now only needed to accumulate enough dao pill resources.

Then, by concentrating on comprehending the Dao Domain and finally successfully crossing the "Void Tribulation," he would be able to attain the position of Heavenly Venerable.

He would join the grades of the top powerhouses in the Immortal Realm.

Feeling the surging and endless Immortal Power within his body, Fang Hong slowly withdrew his released aura, his face full of irrepressible joy.

"Void ring, take me to a gathering place of high-grade Vicious Beasts. I need to collect a batch of resources for alchemy."

As his voice fell, with a thought, Fang Hong exited the Years Pearl Space.

The void ring instantly sensed Fang Hong’s intent, and a blue light suddenly flashed across its surface.

The light flashed and vanished, and Fang Hong’s figure disappeared from the spot as if he had never been there.

Space continuously distorted, and Fang Hong had already crossed the endless starry river, steadily appearing in the sky above a strange city.

He looked down and saw that the architectural style of this city was extremely peculiar.

Everything was built from massive black rocks, arranged in a staggered manner, appearing rugged and heavy.

On the streets within the city, many figures were walking back and forth, occasionally speaking a few words to each other in voices that were hoarse and strange.

But when Fang Hong saw the appearance of these residents clearly, he couldn’t help but show a surprised expression.

These so-called residents were not true Human Cultivators.

Their figures were no different from ordinary people, but looking closely, one could see the faint outlines of pitch-black skeletons beneath their skin.

Their true forms were actually special beings condensed from black bones.

Seeing this scene, Fang Hong immediately understood.

The void ring had actually taken him directly out of the Immortal Realm and brought him to the legendary Heavenly Demon Realm.

The Heavenly Demon Realm was the large world closest to the Immortal Realm. Every once in a while, the two realms would move closer to each other.

The Ancient Demons from Beyond the Heavens within the realm would take the opportunity to break through the barriers and invade the Immortal Realm, feeding on the Physical Bodies and souls of Immortals, acting as a huge threat to the Immortal Realm for a long time.

The name "Immortal-Eating Race" came from this.

And the residents in the city below were precisely one of the many races of the Ancient Demons.

Fang Hong quickly scanned the entire city with his Divine Sense and soon discovered that the grades of the Ancient Demons in the city were too low, mostly with True Immortal and Golden Immortal level cultivation.

To him, who was already at the peak Immortal Emperor realm, these Ancient Demons were simply useless, not even qualifying as materials for alchemy.

The void ring had specifically brought him to the Heavenly Demon Realm, surely wanting him to hunt those powerful high-grade Ancient Demons.

After all, only high-grade Ancient Demons were worthy of his current alchemy needs.

With that thought, Fang Hong’s figure flickered, disappearing like a ghost from the sky above the city.

When he reappeared, he had already quietly arrived inside the most magnificent hall in the city.

This hall was also built of black rock; the interior was very dark and carried a faint scent of blood.

In the center of the hall sat a middle-aged man wearing a black robe.

His eyes were tightly closed, and a faint demonic qi lingered around him. He was the highest-cultivation Ancient Demon in this city, with the strength of the Early Stage Grand Unity realm.

At this moment, the middle-aged man in black was immersed in a state of meditation and was completely unaware of the activity around him.

Fang Hong walked up to him and, without the slightest hesitation, directly reached out and began to perform a Soul Search on him.

After a short while, Fang Hong obtained the information he needed from his sea ​​of ​​consciousness.

Subsequently, Fang Hong’s finger moved slightly, disposing of him.

The middle-aged man in black didn’t know what had happened until the moment he died; he didn’t even have time to let out a scream before his spirit and form were both destroyed.

Through the information obtained from the Soul Search, Fang Hong gained a general understanding of the layout of the Heavenly Demon Realm.

The entire Heavenly Demon Realm was not a loose collection of individuals but was ruled jointly by five great families.
