Under the illumination of the red light, the golden armor on Venerable Flood’s body instantly turned into a streak of golden light and was sucked away by the fire cloud gourd.

"What? My Saint Demon Armor." Venerable Flood exclaimed in shock.

With Venerable Flood deprived of the protection of his golden armor, Fang Hong immediately pressed his palms together, and the Light of Years erupted from his body, illuminating the entire Dao Domain.

Before Venerable Flood’s giant palm could land, it was swept into the Light of Years by Fang Hong.

A few breaths later, the Light of Years gradually dissipated.

Venerable Flood let out a miserable scream as his giant Dharma Idol collapsed into the endless starry sky, and the Dharma Idol continued to crumble and shrink.

After a moment, Venerable Flood’s Dharma Idol completely disappeared.

His Dao Domain also collapsed, and the two returned to the mountaintop in the outside world.

At this moment, Venerable Flood had returned to his normal size, lying on the ground and looking at Fang Hong with a face full of terror.

Most crucially, Venerable Flood’s face was extremely pale; having been hit head-on by the Light of Years, his entire Demon power had been drained.

Fang Hong did not give Venerable Flood any chance to react and immediately manipulated the undead blade to stab him to death!

The strongest expert of the Heavenly Demon Realm had just been killed by Fang Hong like that.

Fang Hong immediately collected Venerable Flood’s soul and physical body, then, following his usual style, sent a message to the entire Giant Demon Clan for all high-ranking Elders to assemble.

...

Half an hour later, the high-ranking Old Ancestors and Elders of the Giant Demon Clan were all slaughtered by Fang Hong.

With this, the high-ranking members of the five great Families of the Heavenly Demon Realm were wiped out by Fang Hong alone!

At this moment, Fang Hong had returned to a small island in the Human Realm to tally the harvest from this trip.

Fang Hong’s harvest from wiping out the high-ranking members of the five great Families could only be described as terrifying.

There were a total of eighteen Demon Venerate-level corpses.

There were a total of three thousand seven hundred and fifty-two Devil Emperor-level corpses.

There were nearly five hundred thousand Demon Emperor-level corpses.

Fang Hong fed all these corpses to the Demon Gourd at once.

After waiting for a day, the Demon Gourd finally converted these corpses into high-grade dao pills.

Inside an oversized secret chamber within the Years Pearl Space, Fang Hong looked at the mountain of dao pills and couldn’t help but grin from ear to ear.

With this batch of dao pills, his Cultivation would definitely make great leaps and bounds again!

Conversely, the five great Families of the Heavenly Demon Realm had lost so many experts at once and would not be able to recover for tens of thousands of years.

The Heavenly Demon Realm was now severely damaged and naturally would not dare to invade the Immortal Realm.

In addition to the corpses, Fang Hong had almost emptied the treasuries of the five great Families, harvesting countless resources once again.

Immortal Stones, immortal herbs, artifact refining materials, and so on—everything was there.

These resources were piled into mountains, placed in a corner of the Years Pearl Space.

That girl Little Rainbow spent every day immersed in those piles of resources, tinkering with various materials, doing alchemy and artifact refining, grinning from ear to ear—she was just like her master...

Fang Hong couldn’t be bothered with those resources; although there were many, there was almost nothing truly useful to him.

Now, only high-grade dao pills and innate dao artifacts were of great use to Fang Hong; he looked down on everything else.

After counting the supplies, Fang Hong began to perform soul-searching on each of the eighteen Demon Venerate Old Ancestors to see if he could obtain any useful intelligence.

Before long, Fang Hong finished the soul-searching and actually obtained a piece of good intelligence!

From Venerable Flood’s memories, Fang Hong learned of a mysterious Chaos Realm.

The Chaos Realm was filled with a large amount of Chaos Qi.

Venerable Flood had discovered that treasure land by chance and used the Chaos Qi within it to cultivate his physical body cultivation technique to Great Success.

The closer one got to the center of the Chaos Realm, the thicker the Chaos Qi became.

Venerable Flood had originally thought that with his powerful physical body strength, he could explore the center of the Chaos Realm.

But unfortunately, multiple explorations had failed, and he had been unable to penetrate deep into the center of the Chaos Realm to this day.

Therefore, Venerable Flood strongly suspected that some heaven-defying treasure must be hidden in the center of the Chaos Realm!

Fang Hong was greatly shocked upon learning this news!

He had witnessed Venerable Flood’s strength with his own eyes; with the peak of Heavenly Venerate and a physical body close to that of a Saint, he still couldn’t enter the center of the Chaos Realm?

It seemed that some heavy treasure must be hidden in the center of that Chaos Realm!

Fang Hong was now very interested in that mysterious Chaos Realm; he would go and explore it properly after he went into seclusion for a period of time.

Just because Venerable Flood couldn’t enter the central area of the Chaos Realm didn’t mean he couldn’t; after all, he had personally slaughtered Venerable Flood.

For the next period of time, Fang Hong stayed in the Immortal Cave secret chamber, refining that pile of dao pills and doing his utmost to improve his Cultivation.

...

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, another three years had gone by.

At this moment, Fang Hong was still sitting cross-legged in the secret chamber, his eyes closed, and his aura very peaceful.

The mountain of pills in front of him had been consumed significantly, with only some Emperor-level dao pills left there.

At this moment, Fang Hong slowly opened his eyes; his expression was calm, and his aura showed no turbulence, but was instead very peaceful.

Fang Hong clenched his hand and finally revealed a faint smile.

After three years of seclusion and refining a large amount of dao pills, Fang Hong’s Cultivation had undergone another transformation.

At this moment, Fang Hong had broken through two realms in succession and was already at the Great Perfection of Heavenly Venerate!

The Great Perfection of Heavenly Venerate was only one step away from proving the dao and becoming a Saint.

As long as he survived the "Heavenly Punishment," he would be able to prove the dao and become a saint, becoming immortal and indestructible.

"Only one last step remains; proving the dao and becoming a Saint is right before my eyes."

Fang Hong felt deeply moved inside; after fighting all the way, he had finally reached this step.

Now, Fang Hong had regained the feeling of being invincible; even when facing Great Heavenly Venerate Luo Sheng, he was no longer afraid.

Fang Hong stood up and walked outside the secret chamber; at this moment, Little Rainbow flew over from a distance.

"Master, you’ve finished your seclusion. Huh? Master, what is your current Cultivation? Why can’t I see through it?" Little Rainbow looked at Fang Hong curiously.

"Great Perfection of Heavenly Venerate," Fang Hong replied with a smile.

"What? Hea, Heavenly Venerate Great Perfection?"

"Only three years have passed, and Master has risen from the Middle Stage of Heavenly Venerate to the Great Perfection of Heavenly Venerate! This is too amazing!" Little Rainbow said, her face full of shock.

"You’re not bad either." Fang Hong patted Little Rainbow’s head.

Little Rainbow had also been working hard to cultivate these past few years and was now at the Middle Stage of Heavenly Venerate as well.

"Heehee, I can’t compare to Master."

"I still have one thing to do; I’ll take you to play at the Heavenly Palace in a few days," Fang Hong said.

"Heavenly Palace! Great, great, I’ve wanted to go play at the Heavenly Palace for a long time, but I was afraid of those Heavenly Venerates, so I didn’t dare to go."

"Now that Master is by my side, I don’t have to be afraid of those Heavenly Venerates," Little Rainbow said happily.

Fang Hong nodded, then exited the Years Pearl Space, activated the void ring, and left the Immortal Realm.

Before going to visit those Immortal Realm overlords, Fang Hong planned to first explore that mysterious Chaos Realm.

...

Following Venerable Flood’s memories, Fang Hong crossed countless worlds and instantly arrived at the Chaos Realm.

Looking around, a vast and expansive wasteland came into view, and the surroundings were indeed filled with a large amount of Chaos Qi.

Fang Hong slowly spread out his powerful Divine Sense and used the Great Dao of Space, attempting to see clearly into the center of the Chaos Realm.

However, the deeper he went into the center of the Chaos Realm, the thicker the Chaos Qi became, even blocking Fang Hong’s investigation.

Fang Hong’s face showed surprise; this Chaos Realm was indeed strange.
