C4 Hunting Madly

This Infinite Plundering Evolution System is seriously impressive!

It can consume not only the bloodline essence and Demon Cores of demonic beasts but also seize their divine abilities for itself.

Zhang Lingfeng marveled at its capabilities.

Eager to test the might of the plundered divine ability, he channeled the demonic energy within him and exhaled a burst of flame from his serpent mouth, striking a nearby rock.

Within mere moments, the flame's heat turned the rock red, and it began to show signs of melting.

"The temperature of this Explosive Flame is incredible. Releasing just a sliver yields such formidable power. If I were to unleash a large burst, wouldn't it reduce an opponent to ashes in an instant?"

Zhang Lingfeng was astonished and thrilled by the thought.

He was well aware, however, that to incinerate an adversary, he would need ample strength and robust demonic energy.

He then activated another divine ability he had acquired: Earth Armor.

A layer of rock-solid armor encased Zhang Lingfeng's entire serpentine form.

His natural scales already provided formidable defense, but with the addition of the Earth Armor, Zhang Lingfeng estimated that a demonic beast of equal rank wouldn't stand a chance of injuring him, even with a direct hit.

With such protection, battling above his class seemed effortless!

He could likely take on a Class 7 Demonic Soldier and stand toe-to-toe with a Class 8.

And when facing Class 9 or 10 Demonic Soldiers, even if he couldn't overpower them, escaping would probably be a breeze.

Having assessed his own power, Zhang Lingfeng's confidence soared.

His bloodline's inherited memories informed him that the outskirts of the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range were mostly home to ordinary fierce beasts and first-grade Demon Soldiers.

Second-grade Demon Generals were relatively scarce.

Zhang Lingfeng's recent encounter with two battling Second Grade Demon Generals was simply a stroke of bad luck.

Though consuming the Good Fortune Saint Fruit had extended his lifespan by ten days, such a brief span was trivial for a mighty demonic beast blessed with longevity.

Time was critical; he couldn't afford to delay, so he immediately resolved to go out and hunt Demon Beasts.

It was the only way he could ensure his survival.

...

Half an hour later, Zhang Lingfeng stood face to face with a majestic tiger, its stature spanning four to five meters.

The system had informed him that this formidable creature was known as the Sword Fang Tiger, with strength at the fourth-grade Demon Soldier level.

A first-grade Demon Beast was termed a Demon Soldier!

A second-grade Demon Beast, a Demon General!

A third-grade Demon Beast, a Demon Lord!

Each major level was further divided into ten sublevels.

For instance, a first-grade Demon Soldier level beast was the lowest tier, rarely awakening any innate divine powers.

Moreover, this Sword Fang Tiger was two levels beneath him, so Zhang Lingfeng hardly considered it a threat.

Because Zhang Lingfeng had concealed his demonic energy, the Sword Fang Tiger was unaware that the snake blocking its path was a formidable foe.

The tiger's fur bristled as it roared a challenge. Seeing the 'stinky snake' before it refusing to yield, it grew enraged.

Without a moment's hesitation, the Sword Fang Tiger pounced, its jaws agape, revealing razor-sharp teeth as it lunged at Zhang Lingfeng.

"Bring it on!"

As the tiger attacked, Zhang Lingfeng stood his ground, ready to test his defenses.

With a mere thought, he activated the Earth Armor Divine Ability, and a layer of armor crafted from earth and stone enveloped him.

In the blink of an eye, the tiger's maw clamped down on the spot where Zhang Lingfeng's vital seven-inch area was located.

Clever beast, it knew exactly where to strike.

The Sword Fang Tiger, elated by its seemingly easy victory, looked down on the Snake Demon with contempt.

But its triumph was short-lived as it encountered a startling revelation.

Despite biting down with full force, it hadn't inflicted the slightest damage on the Snake Demon.

A sharp pain shot through its mouth as its incredibly hard teeth were shattered into more than a dozen pieces.

The sword-toothed tiger's teeth, comparable to the sharpness of knives and swords, were its most formidable weapons.

Combined with its terrifying bite force, it could easily crush a rock to pieces with a single bite.

Yet, the sword-toothed tiger never anticipated that its prized teeth would fail to penetrate the defense of the unassuming giant snake before it.

What was more shocking was the fact that its teeth had actually been broken?

For a moment, the tiger's pupils, vastly larger than a human fist, widened with horror and disbelief.

Meanwhile, Zhang Lingfeng, who had been using the Demon Tiger as a test subject, was quite pleased with his defense.

Without further ado, he unleashed a casual strike that swiftly ended the life of the sword-toothed tiger.

"Ding! The system has detected the corpse of a sword-toothed tiger. Would you like to consume its bloodline essence?"

"Consume!"

"Ding! Consumption successful. Lifespan increased by half an hour."

"Ding! The system has detected a Rank One Demon Core. Would you like to consume it?"

"Consume!"

"Ding! Consumption successful. Energy points increased by 100."

With each system prompt, Zhang Lingfeng devoured all that the sword-toothed tiger had to offer, gaining not only an extension to his lifespan but also a significant boost in his Demon Energy cultivation.

However, as time ticked away, so did his lifespan, leading to a slow net increase in his longevity.

Thus, he couldn't afford to waste time and quickly moved on to hunt the next Demonic Beast.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Lingfeng faced off against a five-meter-long wolf-shaped Demonic Beast.

Known as the Diamond Wolf, it was a formidable Level Five Demonic Soldier with a body as hard as diamond, surpassing the strength of the Level Four Sword Fang Tiger.

But to Zhang Lingfeng, who had ascended to the rank of a Level Six Demonic Soldier, the Diamond Wolf was no match. It was easily incinerated by his innate divine power, "Explosive Flame."

"Ding! By devouring the Diamond Wolf's bloodline, lifespan has increased by four hours."

"Ding! By devouring a Rank One Demon Core, Energy Points increased by 150."

With each system notification, Zhang Lingfeng, now with more demonic energy and an extended lifespan, eagerly set out in search of his next target.

"Ding! By devouring the essence of the Spirit Rock Leopard's bloodline, lifespan has increased by four hours."

"Ding! By devouring the essence of the Berserk Demonic Ape's bloodline, lifespan has increased by three hours."

"Ding! By devouring the essence of the Crimson Flame Ten Thousand Mile Horse's bloodline, lifespan has increased by five hours."

"..."

And so it went, as time marched on, formidable beasts capable of crushing boulders and cleaving the earth succumbed to Zhang Lingfeng, their demise marked by fear and defiance.

For Zhang Lingfeng, slaying demonic beasts carried no weight on his conscience.

In the world of demonic beasts, it was survival of the fittest.

These creatures were either on a path to strength or to death in its pursuit.

Had they not taken this path today, the weaker ones would inevitably fall prey to the mightier beasts.

As he consumed the blood essence of these beasts to augment his lifespan, Zhang Lingfeng didn't overlook their Demon Cores.

Having consumed a substantial number of Rank One Demon Cores, his cultivation had surged, breaking through to the level of a Rank Seven Demonic Soldier, significantly bolstering his power.

As time swiftly flowed by, half a month vanished in a moment.

That day, after hunting down several dozen demonic beasts, Zhang Lingfeng found his demonic energy depleted and retreated to his claimed lair.

This lair was a cave overgrown with weeds.

But as his strength grew and his stature increased, the once-spacious cave now felt constricting and cramped.

It was clear that the time had come for Zhang Lingfeng to seek out a new haven.
