“So strong!”
Upon taking that single punch, Longtian knew he was no match for his opponent.
This imposing aura clearly belonged to an expert at the Fifth Level of Mortal Realm.
Otherwise, a casual strike wouldn’t have injured him.
Furthermore, he had no grievances or enmity with the person before him, yet the other party showed absolutely no mercy.
The world of Cultivators was indeed extremely cruel.
“Run!”
Knowing he was outmatched, Longtian used the immense recoil force to turn and flee without a moment’s hesitation!
At the same time, he memorized the opponent’s appearance.
He would make sure to return this punch someday.
“Trying to leave?
It’s not that easy.
Since you discovered this cave and saw me, I can’t let you live.”
However, the youth simply wouldn’t let him escape.
With a cold snort, he gave chase.
Longtian was greatly alarmed and cursed inwardly, “Fuck!
Did I peek at your mom taking a bath or rape your wife?
Is there a need to hound me to death like this?”
But right now, he didn’t even have time to speak.
All he could do was run for his life.
Unfortunately, the gap in their strength was too massive.
The youth was visibly closing the distance and would catch up soon.
“Am I, Longtian, really going to die here?”
Longtian fell into despair.
“Even if I die, I’ll make this son of a bitch pay the price.”
Since he couldn’t escape, he wouldn’t run anymore.
Fight!
Just as Longtian was preparing for battle, the youth’s expression suddenly changed.
He stopped in his tracks, turned around, and left.
“Damn it, what’s going on?
Could he have been scared off by the sudden release of my King’s Dominating Energy?”
Longtian was utterly dumbfounded.
The next moment, another figure appeared before him.
It was a youth around twenty-three or twenty-four years old.
He had a scar on his face, making him look exceptionally ferocious.
Moreover, this youth only had one arm; it was unknown where he had lost the other.
“Still trying to run!
I was the one who found that Secret Manual.
Since you want to kill me, don’t blame your older brother for not holding back!”
The one-armed youth snorted coldly and chased after the direction the other person had fled.
From beginning to end, he didn’t even glance at Longtian.
These two came quickly and left just as fast.
“They’re treating me like I don’t even exist.”
Watching the two disappear without a trace, Longtian felt extremely stifled.
One of these youths had tried to kill him without a word, while the other completely ignored him.
This was the sorrow of the weak.
“I need to get stronger.
I must break through to the Fourth Level of Mortal Realm as soon as possible.
That way, if I encounter a Powerhouse at the Fifth Layer again, I won’t be entirely powerless to fight back.”
Having almost been killed by the white-clothed youth, Longtian felt a deep sense of humiliation.
The way the opponent had looked at him like a mere ant had deeply provoked his heart.
Although Longtian really wanted to figure out why these two, who seemed to be blood brothers, were killing each other, and what kind of Secret Manual they had obtained, he knew he didn’t yet have the qualifications to investigate.
After finding a secluded spot to heal his injuries, Longtian once again set foot on the path to hunt a Fourth-rank Beast.
“Fourth-rank Beast, where are you?
Come out quickly, I need you.”
He urgently wanted a Beast Pill so he could level up.
After slaughtering several Third-stage Beasts along the way, Longtian was in a terrible mood.
It was as if the Fourth-rank Beasts were hiding from him; they were unexpectedly hard to find.
“This is weird.”
Longtian found it increasingly strange.
Even though the Wilderness Forest was massive, it was impossible for Fourth-rank Beasts to be this scarce.
“I’ll keep looking.
I refuse to believe they’ve all died out.”
It was now Longtian’s fifth day in the Wilderness Forest. Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
According to his original plan, he should have raised his Cultivation to the Fourth Layer within three days.
However, plans couldn’t keep up with changes.
He hadn’t encountered a single Fourth-rank Beast since, nor had he even come across a Fifth-tier Beast.
“Fourth-rank Beasts, my good friends, my good buddies, where did you all go?”
Longtian almost wanted to cry.
His goal was so clear, and his desire to grow stronger was so intense.
Why were the damn heavens refusing to cooperate?
If he couldn’t get enough Beast Pills, let alone defeating He Chao in half a month, he wouldn’t even be able to make that Nameless youth pay for hunting him down a few days ago.
“Do I have to give up the shortcut of using Beast Pills to boost my Cultivation and start cultivating the grounded way?
But if I do that, let alone reaching the Sixth Layer in half a month, I might not even achieve it in a year or two.”
The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became.
Although he knew that nothing in life was smooth sailing, he still felt a sense of loss and helplessness.
“Damn it, why am I overthinking this?
I’ll keep looking.
I can’t just stay in place and not move forward.
Even if the heavens don’t favor me, I must believe in myself!
Otherwise, what will I use to slap the faces of those people from the He Family!”
“Search, search, search!
I refuse to believe I can’t find one.”
Longtian searched for a Fourth-rank Beast like a madman, venturing deeper and deeper into the Wilderness Forest.
Since there were none on the outskirts, he didn’t believe he wouldn’t encounter one if he went a little deeper.
On the sixth day.
Longtian had already reached a certain depth within the Wilderness Forest.
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, his expression changing drastically.
He felt the entire Wilderness Forest trembling, as if a colossal monster was awakening beneath the earth.
“What’s going on?”
Longtian felt inexplicably anxious as a faint sense of crisis enveloped his entire body.
The tremors grew stronger and more intense, approaching from afar.
Then, a muffled sound echoed from the distance—RUMBLE—like continuous claps of muffled thunder.
Longtian found a large tree and climbed up its trunk all the way to the canopy, wanting to see exactly what was happening.
When he poked his head out from the dense foliage, he completely froze.
In his line of sight, billowing dust and smoke had transformed into an earthen dragon charging straight toward his location.
Wherever the dust cloud passed, trees collapsed, and the earth cracked.
“What the hell is this!
Fuck.”
Longtian’s face instantly drained of color.
The extreme speed of the dust cloud indicated that the creatures within it were incredibly powerful.
“Run!”
Longtian didn’t know what was going on, but judging by the momentum, he knew he couldn’t stay where he was.
The dust cloud was advancing directly toward his area.
“What kind of luck is this?”
Scrambling down the tree, Longtian fled the spot without a second word, not daring to linger for a moment.
However, he couldn’t rampage unhindered through the forest like the colossal beast behind him.
Soon, Longtian felt the tremors getting closer.
He could almost hear the sound of trees crashing to the ground right behind him.
“So fast!”
Longtian’s expression worsened.
He could only curse the fact that he didn’t have a Body Technique Martial Skill.
The vibrations grew louder and closer.
Eventually, they felt like a massive hammer pounding directly against his heart.
The unknown creature hadn’t even approached yet, but the sheer force of the tremors alone made him cough up a mouthful of blood.
“What Equivalent Tier of beast is this?
Human Level Tier Seven, Tier Eight, or Tier Nine?”
Battered by the immense vibrations, Longtian felt his body growing weaker and his speed drastically slowing down.
Even his head became dizzy and heavy.
To keep himself from passing out, Longtian bit his lower lip until it split open.
He had to trade pain for strength. Get faster updates on g.com.
“YIP.”
A beast’s cry came from behind Longtian.
He turned his head and saw a snow-white fox.
Bizarrely, this White Fox was covered in several eerie runes.
The runes curved and spread from the fox’s head all the way to its tail.
They were fiery red, resembling leaping flames.
In the center of the fox’s forehead, a distinct flame insignia had appeared.
Longtian saw the fox, and the fox saw him.
Astonishingly, the fox’s eyes revealed a look of guilt, as if it were apologizing to him.
Longtian was stunned.
For a fox to possess human-like eyes—was this a coincidence, or was this fox extraordinary?
Or perhaps, it was both.
Before he had time to think further, the muffled RUMBLE echoed just a thousand meters behind him.
The trees in his wake were collapsing at a visible rate.
The billowing dust cloud morphed into a ferocious, clawing Demon.
As the dust closed in, Longtian finally got a clear look at the creatures within.
Leading the charge was a fiery-red Earth Bear, standing about five meters tall, rampaging through everything in its path.
Trailing behind it was a massive horde of beasts.
Tier Eight, Tier Seven, Tier Six, Tier Five, and even Tier Four!
The red Earth Bear was a Wild Beast Monarch, and the rest were its underlings.
Thousands of beasts were stampeding together in a majestic tide, causing the very earth to quake.
Deep down, Longtian felt absolute terror.
Beneath this overwhelming beast tide, he was nothing more than an ant.
“YIP.”
The fox’s cry rang out again, seemingly urging Longtian to run.
He snapped back to reality.
How could he just stand there and wait for death?!
“Motherfucker, run!”
One human and one fox rapidly darted through the forest.
The fox’s speed was clearly much faster than Longtian’s, but it deliberately slowed down, as if guiding the way for him.
A breath later, the Earth Bear’s breathing was practically right behind them.
The exhales felt like gusts of wind blades, scraping painfully against Longtian’s back.
“It’s over.”
Facing the Earth Bear, Longtian harbored no illusions of luck.
He knew he was going to die here today—unless a miracle happened.
Perhaps his desperate prayers worked, because the next moment, a miracle truly occurred.
The fox, which had been running ahead of him, suddenly let out a sharp cry.
Following that, its body abruptly expanded, transforming into a three-meter-large White Fox.
The runes on the White Fox began to pulse, instantly spreading across its entire body like blood vessels.
In the blink of an eye, the White Fox was no longer white; it had turned entirely blood-red, radiating crimson flames.
At the same time, the flame insignia on its forehead shone ever brighter, looking as if it had caught fire.
“ROAR!”
With a low roar, a cluster of blood-red flames shot out from the fox’s mouth, blazing crimson like a dying sun.
As the flames appeared, the surrounding temperature skyrocketed.
Dried leaves spontaneously combusted, burning with a loud CRACKLE.
In just a single breath, a Fire Wall materialized behind Longtian, halting the advancing beasts in their tracks.
“This…” Longtian watched, utterly dumbfounded.
To think this fox innately possessed flames—it was absolutely a King among beasts.
“YIP.”
After spewing the wall of fire, the fox was visibly much weaker.
It gave Longtian a fleeting glance and turned to leave, dragging its exhausted steps.
It seemed to be telling him to hurry up, as the Fire Wall wouldn’t hold for long.
Longtian quickly followed, his eyes shining as he looked at the fox.
Clearly, this creature had piqued his interest.
If he could tame this fox, he would essentially be acquiring an Exotic Beast with boundless potential!
