CHAPTER 713: VICTORY

After forcefully breaking through the spatial rift, cracks a

After forcefully breaking through the spatial rift, cracks appeared on the chest of Wang Hong's armor.

However, the spatial rift behind him remained unchanged, unaffected by his actions.

Upon crossing the spatial rift, Wang Hong's escape speed surged once again, darting rapidly forward.

The thorn demon chasing behind him, originally on the verge of catching up, could launch an attack and entangle Wang Hong when they were just over a dozen feet apart.

Seeing Wang Hong increasingly desperate to escape, the thorn demon accelerated in pursuit, feeling anxious as well.

Suddenly, the thorn demon felt a sharp pain in his chest. Then, he saw the lower half of his body lurching forward several steps, severed into pieces by the spatial rift and falling to the ground.

Simultaneously, the upper half of his body plummeted from mid-air, colliding with another spatial rift, slicing off a shoulder.

Despite his formidable cultivation level, in this perilous secret realm, any slight lapse in attention could result in death.

During the chase, he had been meticulously observing every spot Wang Hong passed through, including his movements at each position.

He also noticed Wang Hong using Spirit Bees to probe the spatial rifts, and from a distance, he could discern them.

So, when passing through the same area, he only needed to probe slightly, observe the shifting spatial rifts, and then mimic Wang Hong's posture to avoid them.

But he hadn't expected Wang Hong's armor to withstand the rift's severing; Wang Hong had collided with it using his physical body.

This misled the thorn demon. He thought that area was rift-free and followed suit, only to crash into the spatial rift.

As a result, he tragically fell victim. Just as his cultivation level had greatly advanced, before he could flaunt it before his peers, a moment of carelessness led to his demise.

After the upper half of the demon's body landed, a fierce Nascent Soul emerged from the flesh.

With a resentful glare at Wang Hong, the demon picked up a bracelet from its body and fled.

Although he had achieved a perfect Soul Transformation, his powerful Nascent Soul could survive outside the body for an extended period.

However, a Nascent Soul without a body had only two options: one was possession, but finding a suitable body was difficult.

With his perfect Soul Transformation cultivation level, weaker bodies couldn't withstand his strong Nascent Soul, and powerful bodies weren't easy to possess.

The other option was to detach from the body and cultivate solely as a Nascent Soul, but this path was even more arduous.

Wang Hong noticed his traps were effective; the demon behind him had fallen for it, so he quickly turned to pursue.

After being pursued for so long, now that the tables had turned, he couldn't let the opportunity slip.

With no physical body to weigh him down, the Nascent Soul naturally doubled its speed, but in this secret realm filled with spatial rifts, the thorn demon's Nascent Soul couldn't leverage its speed advantage.

This time, it was the thorn demon scouting ahead while Wang Hong chased from behind, seizing the advantage.

Moreover, with the protection of his armor, Wang Hong pursued more adeptly than the thorn demon. It was only a matter of time before he caught up.

Although he was in a Nascent Soul state, encountering spatial rifts would still sever his Nascent Soul.

Left with only his Nascent Soul, completely powerless, the thorn demon didn't dare seek help from his two companions or flee in their direction.

He feared that his current appearance would pose an even greater danger if he returned to his companions now.

So, he fled farther and farther in the opposite direction, gradually leaving the range of both parties' Divine Sense.

At this moment, Wang Hong noticed that he had already left the range of the Divine Sense of those behind him. He no longer concealed the properties of his armor that could defend against spatial rifts.

His speed suddenly increased several times, and he no longer deliberately avoided the spatial rifts, heading straight forward in pursuit.

"You! You can actually defend against spatial rifts!"

At this moment, the thorn demon's Nascent Soul was horrified. He had been puzzled before, as his route was exactly the same as Wang Hong's, and even his posture while passing through was identical. There was no reason why Wang Hong could pass through while he couldn't.

Now he finally understood what was going on. It turned out this person possessed such a rare treasure.

Being able to defend against spatial rifts and resist the cutting force of the Space law, this treasure at least contained the laws of heaven and earth.

Such treasures were exceptionally important for every Soul Transformation Cultivator. Comprehending the laws of heaven and earth above them could enhance their understanding of the laws. Using these laws in battle would also greatly increase their power.

After accelerating, Wang Hong caught up with the thorn demon's Nascent Soul in an instant.

He extended a hand, claw-like, and countless crimson vines formed by Spiritual Power spread out before him.

The thorn demon's Nascent Soul tried to resist, but faced with these vines, it was like sinking into a swamp, ultimately being completely restrained.

Only then did Wang Hong approach, taking out a black needle and stabbing it into the thorn demon's Nascent Soul.

The thorn demon's Nascent Soul instantly lost all resistance and was sealed away by Wang Hong in a Jade Box.

At this moment, he looked at a black bracelet lying on the ground. It should be a storage magic weapon, but it was a demonic treasure, slightly different from the magic weapons used by the Human Clan. It would take some effort to open it.

Just as he had recently obtained half of an immortal fruit and a branch, which he hadn't had time to deal with yet, he needed to find a secluded place to handle them briefly.

Looking around, there were only scattered rocks nearby, and no mountain caves. He simply used the Earth Escaping Technique to burrow underground.

Then, he stopped more than a hundred feet underground, dug through the earth, opened up a space underground, and set up a concealed formation.

After setting everything up, he first entered the space and found the branch of the immortal fruit tree.

This branch had been in the space for over a month, still vibrant due to its continuous contact with the soil. However, it hadn't sprouted any roots. If it were any other Spirit Plant, it would have rooted and sprouted within a month.

As spatial rifts were too dense, the branch he picked was only three to four inches long, as thick as a chopstick, but it was sufficient for planting.

He couldn't sense any immortal aura from this branch, and there were also two pieces of immortal tree leaves resembling willow leaves on it.

After examining it, Wang Hong found a spot to plant it in the soil of the space, burying an inch and leaving two inches exposed.

After planting the immortal fruit tree branch, he exited the space. He was now ready to taste what the immortal fruit was like.

Although he only obtained half of an immature immortal fruit, it was still too advanced for him, a cultivator only in the Soul Transformation stage.

He reinforced the formations around him once again before taking out the half of the immortal fruit.

This immortal fruit was the size of a fist, jade-white in color with faint red patterns on it, emitting a tempting fragrance.
