Chapter 688: Rift Refining Demon Body
Li Fan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a monk with a naked upper body, a slim figure but full of muscular body, roaring to the sky near the center of the whirlpool, where the wind and thunder were surging.
Beside him, countless small tornadoes could be vaguely seen. In the center of the whirlwind, it was pitch black, and it looked like the space itself was torn apart.
The strong man swayed with the wind. The miniature tornadoes also appeared and disappeared in an instant with his movements.
Li Fan, who was still some distance away from the center of the whirlpool, was already hurt by the surrounding strong wind. But the strong man at the core did not take any protection. He just let the violent hurricane blow on his body, making a crisp sound of metal collision.
"He is..."
Li Fan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Although this was the first time he met him in this life, Li Fan had met him once in the previous life.
It was Dongfang Yao who presided over the construction of the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array in Wanli Yanfen Beach and Hualing Gorge. This person and Huangfu Song were close friends, and at that time, he had already reached the level of a spirit transformation.
But now, it seems that he has not crossed that threshold and is still in the Nascent Soul realm.
"Interesting, without the fluctuation of spiritual energy, he can completely resist the strong wind by relying on his strong physical body. I remember that the body refining method in the Xuanhuang Realm should be restricted by the heaven and earth, and the progress will be extremely slow after reaching a certain level of cultivation. I don't know how he has reached this level..."
Li Fan did not rush forward, but observed Dongfang Yao's enlightenment from a distance.
The wind was raging, and the water flow of the whirlpool became more and more turbulent. Dongfang Yao tried to stabilize his body in the storm and move towards the center of the whirlpool. With every step forward, he seemed to be able to faintly hear the creaking sound of his body being squeezed by the strong pressure.
"Hmph!" Dongfang Yao shouted violently, and the veins on his neck bulged, and his muscles seemed to be covered with a layer of faint golden light.
Resolutely, he continued to approach the center of the whirlpool.
Suddenly, a black crack appeared in front of Dongfang Yao out of thin air like lightning. Like a sword, it slashed at him.
"Boom!" A deafening, even piercing, thunderous sound was heard, and a blood mark appeared on Dongfang Yao's body, and his body was forced to retreat several steps.
He was not surprised but happy.
"Finally I've waited for you!"
A strange cry came out of his throat, and then Dongfang Yao's seemingly serious injuries were instantly healed. He stomped his feet into the void, and his body suddenly exploded, and he instantly leaped forward a distance of dozens of feet.
A huge black crack seemed to appear suddenly. It also seemed to have existed since ancient times, but it was always hidden and could not be seen by outsiders.
The black light was like a sword, slashing along the center line of Dongfang Yao's body.
"Puff!"
Dongfang Yao's skin and flesh were immediately torn apart, and he was almost disemboweled on the spot. His body retreated violently, and in an instant he escaped a thousand feet away and returned to a safe place outside the vortex.
"Daoyou, are you okay?" Li Fan saw this and asked at the right time.
He did not approach him, but just flicked a healing pill over. It was the [Baiyu Dan] that Liu San specially prepared for him on this trip. Although it is not a holy medicine that can revive the dead or turn bones into flesh, it is also a top-grade healing medicine. Generally, injuries can be cured in a few breaths after taking it.
Dongfang Yao reached out to catch the Baiyu Dan, took a look at it, and swallowed it whole.
"It's a small matter! Thank you for your trouble, fellow Taoist!" While he was saying this, the scars on his body that originally looked quite tragic had actually healed.
Not even a scar was left.
This was certainly partly due to the Baiyu Dan, but more importantly, Dongfang Yao's own physique was strong enough.
Li Fan couldn't help but look at him sideways.
"What's your name, fellow Taoist?" Dongfang Yao temporarily stopped practicing in the wind and rain and flew to Li Fan's side.
"I am Li Fan. I heard about the wonders of the whirlpool in Ningxuzhou, so I passed by and came to see it. I didn't expect to meet such a strange person as Daoyou!" Li Fan's eyes swept over Dongfang Yao's muscular body, and a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"My name is Dongfang Yao!" He waved his hand, "What kind of strange person is it! I'm just a little stronger!"
"Daoyou Dongfang is really too modest. With such a strong body, even the legendary physical cultivators in ancient times are probably not as good as you?" Li Fan said in amazement.
Dongfang Yao laughed: "I love to hear that..."
He was about to say more, but suddenly turned back and looked towards the center of the whirlpool.
I saw that in the sound of wind and thunder, it seemed that another black shadow emerged.
"Daoyou, wait a moment, I'll be back soon!"
The voice was still echoing in the air, and the man had rushed to the center of the whirlpool like lightning.
The huge roar and collision sounded again.
After a few breaths, Dongfang Yao returned to Li Fan, covered in blood and looking quite embarrassed.
This time, Li Fan did not take out the Baiyu Pill again, but quietly watched Dongfang Yao heal himself.
His injuries were worse than before, but he only spent a little more time to recover.
"It turns out that I worried in vain and wasted a good pill." Li Fan was stunned and said so deliberately.
"Haha, it's not wasted! It's still hidden in my stomach." Dongfang Yao patted his stomach with some pride and said with a smile.
Li Fan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Daoyou is really a wonderful person!"
Dongfang Yao smiled but said nothing.
"You can stay in the vortex of the ancient rift for so long without changing your face. Li Daoyou, you are also a real person who doesn't show your face!" After a while, he looked at Li Fan deeply and said meaningfully.
Li Fan showed a helpless look on his face: "The Xuanhuang Realm is full of crises. Without some means, how dare I go out and wander around. However, these are just some methods to quickly restore spiritual energy. Compared with Daoyou's means, they are still far from comparable."
"I have heard that the art of body refining is extremely difficult to practice. Daoyou can be called a peerless genius if you can practice to this level!" Li Fan said with some admiration.
Although Dongfang Yao said that he was flattering, he couldn't hide his pride in his heart.
"It's just that my physique is born a little special."
As he said, the black crack in the center of the vortex appeared again. Dongfang Yao paused the conversation and rushed into it again.
Wait until he returned from the serious injury and talked to Li Fan again.
After repeated attempts, Li Fan slowly learned some inside information from Dongfang Yao.
It turned out that Dongfang Yao, like Ye Feipeng, had a trace of ancient monster blood in his body.
Although after thousands of years, the thinness of the blood was almost negligible. However, in a certain adventure, Dongfang Yao was fortunate enough to obtain a rare treasure, which fully developed the potential of his own monster bloodline.
"I was originally worried that I would become a half-human, half-monster, but that thing is really magical." Dongfang Yao exclaimed.
