Top-tier Unruly Master-Chapter 1637 - 1674: The Turning Point

Ding Fan was deeply shocked. He really didn’t expect the corrosiveness of these flying insects to be so strong. Even after being slashed by his flying sword, they could still be so corrosive. This was simply terrifying. Ding Fan’s divine force wasn’t just ordinary, and he believed that if the corpse of that flying insect fell on his own body, it would definitely be a terrifying thing.

After all, his flesh and blood weren’t as solid as a divine force energy barrier. It would definitely leave a big hole in his body. Ding Fan knew this wasn’t a joke, and these flying insects were indeed not simple creatures. Moreover, the shocking situation with these flying insects wasn’t over for Ding Fan.

He saw that the flying insects he had slashed to the ground actually transformed into wriggling worms that crawled slowly but steadily towards him. By the time Ding Fan noticed it, several of these worms had already crawled near his energy barrier and started gnawing at it. It didn’t take long before they gnawed a hole in it.

This left Ding Fan in shock. He hadn’t expected that after being slashed and cut in half by his sword beam, the flying insects could still turn into worms on the ground to attack him. It was simply incredible!

Ding Fan indeed had his eyes opened today. He had never seen creatures like these yuan beasts in the Cultivation World, and today he witnessed so much. However, Ding Fan’s current situation was far from optimistic. If there were only a dozen of those flying insects, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

But now the guardian yuan beast was constantly shaking its body, sending a massive number of these flying insects towards Ding Fan. It was no longer a matter of dozens but rather thousands. In moments, Ding Fan was surrounded by countless fallen flying insects.

Those flying insects transformed directly into wriggling worms and kept attacking Ding Fan from all directions, gnawing at his divine vigor energy barrier. With the continuous attacks and the numerous holes corroded by the ones fallen by the sword beams, the energy barrier was severely damaged.

Even though Ding Fan continually released divine force to repair the energy barrier, the amount of worms surrounding him grew so rapidly that his replenishment couldn’t keep up with their destruction. Even after cutting the worms on the ground with his flying sword, they remained active and continued their assault on him.

Though their lengths were reduced after being cut, their aggressiveness remained fierce. Ding Fan even felt that after waving his flying sword a few times on the ground swarming with these insects, their numbers seemed to have increased.

Ding Fan found himself in a difficult position, barely able to move. All he could do was use his energy barrier to protect the small spot around him, and flying was impossible.

The number of flying insects in the air showed no signs of diminishing compared to those on the ground—in fact, they were even more numerous. In a fit of anxiety, Ding Fan’s Heart Sect technique faltered. He suddenly felt that the guardian yuan beast was absorbing significantly more vitality than before, leaving him dumbfounded with no immediate solution!

Roar... Roar...

The guardian yuan beast kept roaring continuously, seeming pleased with the current situation. However, it didn’t remain idle, charging straight towards Ding Fan. The guardian yuan beast seemed aware of the damage Ding Fan’s divine vigor energy barrier could do to its worms, and it intended to smash the energy barrier head-on.

As the guardian yuan beast kept closing in on Ding Fan, the amount of vitality being drained from him increased drastically. In desperation, Ding Fan could only swallow a Rebirth Pill from his mouth, or else, his vitality would have been completely consumed by the opponent.

With no more Rebirth Pills in his mouth, Ding Fan knew that if his inner vitality was drained again, he’d have to quickly fetch more from his storage bag. However, doing so would be extremely risky, and his reserve of Rebirth Pills in the storage bag wasn’t ample.

Previously, Ding Fan had only refined enough Rebirth Pills for himself and Guo Linn to last a month here. If he hadn’t encountered this yuan beast, they would have been more than enough. But facing the guardian yuan beast, his vitality was drained too rapidly. Consuming one pill per day was already sustainable, but now it seemed he needed one every quarter of an hour. At such a pace, Ding Fan’s supply couldn’t last, nor could he hope to outlast the opponent.

Now, Ding Fan was helplessly on the defensive. Even with continuous defense, the flying insects in the sky or the worms on the ground kept advancing fearsomely. His divine vigor energy barrier was hanging by a thread, already barely holding up under the immense destructive force of these insects.

Just maintaining the divine vigor energy barrier proved to be a significant drain on his divine force.

Watching the guardian yuan beast charge at him, Ding Fan couldn’t help but feel anxious. He didn’t know if his divine vigor energy barrier could withstand the yuan beast’s onslaught. But there was no time for fear, and Ding Fan hoped the yuan beast would get closer, so he might attack its belly with his flying sword.

But to Ding Fan’s dismay, as the guardian yuan beast neared, it lowered its massive body, hiding its vulnerable belly, and just as it got near, it didn’t use its body but swung its enormous tail fiercely at his divine vigor energy barrier.

Rumble rumble...

With a thunderous clash, Ding Fan’s Divine Vigor Energy Barrier trembled violently. In no time, serious cracks appeared, and it was clear to Ding Fan that the barrier could no longer withstand another assault by the Yuan Beast.

At the same time, Ding Fan understood that without the barrier’s protection, faced with countless flying insects from the sky and ground, his situation would become dire. Moreover, the effects of the Rebirth Pill were waning.

In this dire situation, Ding Fan had no choice but to fight to the death. He immediately released the Pure Thunder Pill, and the cave was suddenly engulfed in an electric storm. Mysterious Thunder bolts rained down around Ding Fan, and the thunderous noise was deafening!

Rumble rumble...

In no time, the Mysterious Thunder struck down, and the insects in the air and on the ground were instantly scorched by the bolts. The Guardian Yuan Beast was taken aback, never expecting such a fierce attack from a mere human!

In no time, under Ding Fan’s mental command, all the insects surrounding him were completely annihilated. Then, he directed the Mysterious Thunder towards the Guardian Yuan Beast, striking its back with relentless force!

The back of the Yuan Beast was blackened by the Thunder’s onslaught, blood flowing freely. The Beast seemed powerless against the Mysterious Thunder. Ding Fan exhaled in relief; thankfully, the Pure Thunder Pill had come in handy.

In no time, Ding Fan noticed that the Guardian Yuan Beast had ceased feeding on the Vitality, allowing him a breath of relief. Clearly, his Rebirth Pill was nearly depleted, presenting a perfect opportunity for Ding Fan to retrieve more Rebirth Pills.

Previously, Ding Fan had been worried about running out of Rebirth Pills. Taking out more would take precious time, offering the Yuan Beast an opportune moment to attack.

Thus, Ding Fan swiftly took out a few Rebirth Pills from his storage bag and placed them in his mouth, ready for immediate use.

Observing the Guardian Yuan Beast, Ding Fan saw it in a desperate state, with the Mysterious Thunder clearly causing it immense pain, evoking pitiful cries. Despite its massive form trying to evade, Ding Fan showed no mercy in his Thunder attack.

Ding Fan knew that showing compassion to this Guardian Yuan Beast would be his greatest downfall. Unhesitatingly, he unleashed a barrage of Pure Thunder Pill strikes upon the Yuan Beast, feeling confident that the pill alone could settle this creature once and for all!

Relief washed over Ding Fan.

Before he could fully relax, the Guardian Yuan Beast eyed Ding Fan with bloodshot eyes, ready to charge, sensing its ultimate foe. With a powerful burst, it lunged at Ding Fan, appearing willing to die for its cause!

Aiming for mutual destruction with Ding Fan!

Witnessing the Yuan Beast’s charge, Ding Fan was startled. The swift assault was unexpected. Thankfully, having alleviated lots of pressure and with the Pure Thunder Pill still targeting the Beast, Ding Fan felt somewhat assured in their fight.

Yet, Ding Fan remained cautious, aware of the Yuan Beast’s immense Burst Strength. In a flash, Ding Fan used "Transcendent Strike" to vanish in place, reappearing at the Beast’s flank, unleashing a fierce Flying Sword strike.

Despite the Beast’s back being battered by the Mysterious Thunder, Ding Fan’s Flying Sword couldn’t finish it off. This left him feeling frustrated and helpless as he had underestimated the Yuan Beast’s tough hide. After several more strikes, he suddenly remembered the Frost Toad.

A mischievous grin crept onto Ding Fan’s face. As the Beast was no longer consuming Vitality, it was the perfect moment to release the Frost Toad. Ding Fan thought that perhaps the battle was nearing its end!
