Stronger from Earth-Chapter 54: Encountering a Demon During the Hunt
Mixed Element Stance can condense the body’s energy and blood, elevate the foundational root of the Pile Technique entering the Limit Realm, making Wang Xuan’s every move feel as steady as Mount Tai.
The Bow Pulling Technique caused slight changes in his main tendons, though its effect was minimal, considering his cultivation has reached the Peak of Bone Cultivation, far surpassing the time of Muscle Strengthening Realm.
With Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound Method reaching its limit, the short-term vibration of his bones elevated their strength by a notch, integrating energy and blood, bit by bit changing the essence of life, laying groundwork for Bone Marrow Refining.
Then came Overlord Saber and Wind-Chasing Leg, the Limit Realm made Wang Xuan feel his understanding of Overlord Saber and Wind-Chasing Leg reached a supernatural level, saber technique and lightweight technique both advancing further.
As for Bone Shrinking Technique and Puffing Technique, they improved his flexibility significantly, increasing the power of Fierce Bull Fist by two or three fold, definitely allowing a Bone Marrow Refining cultivator to experience a crushing violence.
"This time’s improvement, the overall quality has indeed progressed a lot, and the power reached twenty thousand pounds; this is the limit I anticipated for Bone Refining Realm."
For ordinary people’s Bone Refining Realm, it’s about two thousand pounds, but he’s ten times more, terrifying indeed.
Wang Xuan leaped down from the tree branch, walked up to a nearby tree, and fiercely punched out, explosive force like a bullet pierced through the thick tree, wood chips flying amidst the tree crashing down.
With a rumbling sound, the Little Fox Spirit woke up frightened, Wang Xuan expressionlessly lay back down: "Sleep."
The Little Fox Spirit felt helpless, couldn’t even sleep well at night, and pitifully had to accompany in sleep, truly the worst period of its life.
"Accelerator." Wang Xuan summoned in his heart, the personal panel appeared.

"Now everything’s at the Limit Realm, much more pleasing to the eye, and it only consumed six hundred Source Power points, not much."
Wang Xuan could clearly feel a great increase in his strength; if facing himself from one hour ago, he could kill within a minute.
Strength, speed, reaction, all increased by two or three fold, comprehensive strength was doubled, combat ability far exceeding the past.
"In terms of martial arts, with my strength improved, their power can be fully manifested, enough before Blood Exchange Realm, but still need to enhance saber technique and fist technique, find ways to strengthen."
Wang Xuan pondered while analyzing the Heart Spirit Demon Scripture, this cultivation technique extremely powerful, entirely a ladder for spiritual climbing.
For sufficient stability, he learned a lot of psychological knowledge and theories from the Taoist Family and Buddhist Sect, finally gaining some results now.
The next morning, Wang Xuan woke the Little Fox Spirit, starting the journey together.
In the primeval forest, sometimes seeming calm, yet a place of surging winds, some places seemingly motionless, yet hiding lives.
Wang Xuan knew, any settlement has its owner, possibly overlapping several, a bug on a leaf, a mantis on this branch, ants on this tree, birds in this forest, and larger territory holders like bears, tigers, wolves, and leopards.
Within half an hour, Wang Xuan found a Wild Boar newly entering Fierce Beast level, its tusks very sharp, truly fierce, making him slightly cautious.
Limit Realm’s Wind-Chasing Leg indeed made him move like wings, even with astonishing weight, wanting silent movement, still easily achievable.
When within ten meters, Wang Xuan directly leapt, drawing a long saber mid-air, chopping down, slicing a large gash on the startled, flashing Wild Boar’s neck, blood gushing.
The heavily injured Wild Boar staggered a few steps, Wang Xuan landed, swung another saber blow, a pig head already rolling on the ground.
Given his current strength, the chance of defeating an Iron-Scaled Tiger is too low, as it’s a high-ranking carnivore, close to peak fierce beast, incomparable to this newly into fierce beast level Wild Boar.
"Little Fox Spirit, time to eat."
Grabbing a piece of animal skin, Wang Xuan wiped his saber, hung it back on his waist, then pursued those fleeing Wild Boars.
A Wild Boar King, surrounded by a group of Wild Boars, at least a dozen.
With Wind-Chasing Leg’s speed, Wang Xuan spent quite some effort slaying five or six, the others ran too far, couldn’t catch up.
Little Fox Spirit felt nauseous eating; Wild Boars really aren’t hygienic animals, but couldn’t be picky due to injury, even tolerated Wang Xuan threatening with a saber, let alone such minor issues. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
It could tell, Wang Xuan’s saber technique, fist technique, strength, and speed all suddenly elevated significantly, surprising it; sometimes contemplating, whether this big fatty had been concealing his abilities before?
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Wang Xuan encountered a black bear, standing at three or four meters tall, its formidable physique terrifying to behold, truly a beast of immense strength capable of toppling large trees.
In a close combat engagement, Wang Xuan could push an object weighing ten tons, his explosive speed comparable to a charging truck, an absolutely terrifying force.
With a single kick, the black bear was flipped onto its back.
A punch landed on its chest, causing the black bear to stagger backwards.
Poor black bear, despite not being inferior to Wang Xuan in strength, was utterly outmatched in speed and could only passively withstand the blows.
Within a few minutes, the black bear was struck by several punches to the head by Wang Xuan, its brain instantly dead, life extinguished.
The little fox needed no invitation from Wang Xuan, gleefully beginning its meal.
In just two or three days, Wang Xuan slew over a dozen fierce beasts and hundreds of wild animals, all of whose blood and flesh entered the fox’s belly.
As a result, the little fox’s wounds had healed by now, its fur shiny and vibrant, extraordinarily beautiful, a fox fur scarf made from it would probably sell for millions of Star Yuan.
"Little fox spirit, you’re really quite pretty," Wang Xuan remarked.
The little fox wagged its tail left and right, its coat spotless and pristine, its shimmering fur highly captivating.
In the following days, Wang Xuan continued hunting, while the little fox, aside from growing healthier and more beautiful, exhibited no anomalies.
"I’m exhausted, little flirtatious fox, transform into a beauty and give me a leg massage," Wang Xuan joked.
These days, he had worked hard for the little fox, naturally tiring, and it seemed the little fox had forgotten about being threatened earlier, clearly grateful to him.
However, transforming into a beauty to massage his legs was unlikely to happen.
While hunting, Wang Xuan was also honing his martial arts, improving his combat abilities, reaping many benefits, not merely for the little fox.
The Siberian region was rife with Earth Demons and Celestial Demons, many beasts perished at human hands, and likewise many humans were devoured by beasts, none of which concerned the Demon Immortals.
Yet, if Earth Immortals and Celestial Immortals entered, they would not be treated kindly. Therefore, Wang Xuan chose to remain in Siberia, ensuring safety even if he did nothing, at least more so than in human cities.
This day, Wang Xuan arrived at a particular area, a part of the forest where even large animals were unseen, be it elk, black bear, wild boar, or wolverine, lynx.
Upon entering, he found numerous skeletal remains, clearly indicating a territory claimed and extremely bloody, otherwise it wouldn’t have consumed so many animals.
"Seems like a very strong fierce beast, not sure if it’s my match," Wang Xuan mused, as the little fox bared its teeth, clearly uneasy here.
"Forget it, doesn’t seem worth provoking, no need to be overly curious."
Wang Xuan halted his advance, promptly turning back, realizing it was unwise to recklessly explore without understanding the creatures.
Which is utterly inadvisable.
Unexpectedly, barely a hundred meters back, a foul wind rushed in. Wang Xuan used his lightweight technique to dodge, instantly moving ten zhang to the side.
A stench filled the air, accompanied by roaring sounds, resembling a tiger or bear, extremely menacing, yet Wang Xuan still couldn’t fathom what creature it was.
Turning to look, he was utterly shocked.
Because ten zhang ahead, crouched on the ground, eyes locked on him, was actually a human!
But Wang Xuan would rather believe this was not a human.
The individual was unclothed, resembling an atavistic human with dense hair, prominent sharp teeth with four tiger-like fangs over an inch long, and nails like wolf claws, effortlessly tearing flesh.
If not for the person’s belt and skeletal structure, Wang Xuan would have thought this was a primate beast at the peak of ferocity.
With a strong killing aura, the saliva of the wild man dripped a foot long, viewing Wang Xuan like a feast, pouncing without hesitation, extremely fast.
Wang Xuan hurriedly drew his saber, swinging it fiercely.
With a clang, sparks flew.
Several meters away, Wang Xuan borrowed force multiple times to dissipate the impact, whereas the wild man hadn’t stepped back, the arm struck by the saber was unharmed, only a white mark remaining.
"What is this thing?" Wang Xuan was stunned.
