“You seem pretty strong. You will be the one.”
Mo Wen smiled calmly. The flowing light turned and flew towards the ancient beast in the primitive forest.
Killing savage ancient beasts was not only for the preliminaries. It was also an opportunity provided by the Sorcerer Clan for the immortal cultivators to improve themselves. This was also why the Sorcerer Clan managed to attract so many geniuses from the various realms to come.
The flesh, blood, and essence of these savage ancient beasts were the best supplements. If cultivators consumed large amounts of savage ancient beast meat, they could improve their constitution and strengthen their own bodies of flesh. Many immortal cultivators would not waste their time training their own bodies. Instead, they spent most of their energy on cultivating their levels of cultivation to achieve breakthroughs in realms. After all, the energy of these immortal cultivators was limited. It was impossible for them to learn and train everything.
Immortal cultivators like Mo Wen, who particularly cultivated body refining remarkable powers, were rather rare. After all, if they spent too much time cultivating their bodies, their levels of cultivation would be slow to break through to higher realms. Many immortal cultivators were focused on levels of cultivation as their fundamental aspect and were unwilling to spend time on other areas.
In reality, not every immortal cultivator trained like Mo Wen. Ordinary immortal cultivators would choose to focus on a major area that they specialized in.
However, for immortal cultivators, their bodies were also very important. If two cultivators of similar levels of cultivation were to spar, the one with the stronger body would have a higher chance of winning and also a higher chance of surviving.
Mo Wen’s speed was astonishing. With a flash of flowing light, his being appeared before the savage ancient beast.
From the aura of the savage ancient beast, he could determine that it should be an ancient beast equivalent to an immortal cultivator with great attainment at the Tide Changing Realm. However, the combat ability and life force of a savage ancient beast were certainly much higher than a cultivator with great attainment at the Tide Changing Realm.
Savage ancient beasts did not have a fixed rank division. There might have been one for them during the Immemorial Age, but in the current day, it was already pointless to have one. The strength of a savage ancient beast was determined from the aura they emanated.
Of course, savage ancient beasts were creatures that were proficient in combat and had high survivability. If one determined that a savage ancient beast was at the beginning stage Tide Changing Realm, the beast would certainly be more powerful than a cultivator in the same realm. It might even be comparable to an intermediate stage Tide Changing Realm cultivator.
The savage ancient beast clearly also noticed Mo Wen. Its crimson eyes emanated a look filled with bloodlust as it fiercely roared. It came running towards Mo Wen on its own.
Savage ancient beasts did not have high intelligence. Some were even no different from wild beasts. High-rank savage ancient beasts might be more intelligent but even then, their intelligence was very limited. In terms of intelligence, they were far inferior to living creatures like humans.
A gust of wind swept towards him and tore apart the tall trees within a radius of a hundred meters. Five claw shadows slashed upwards to the sky and furiously reached out for Mo Wen.
“So fierce!”
Mo Wen smiled slightly. His figure twisted and he nimbly avoided the five claw shadows. Savage ancient beasts were known for their strength. The power within the claw shadows could match a Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator. If there was no need to do so, Mo Wen would not take the savage ancient beast’s attacks head-on.
Rumble!
The claw shadows missed their mark and dropped to the ground. Immediately, the earth shook and five claw marks that were hundreds of miles long appeared in the ground. They formed gullies that were so deep that one could not see the bottom. A large number of trees were destroyed. A large number of low-rank ancient beasts were also caught in the crossfire and perished to the claw shadows.
“Thunder Emperor Five Forms,” Mo Wen softly said.
The Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear in his hand became a bolt of lightning that instantly stabbed out. In the blink of an eye, it became a huge spear hundreds of meters long. Faster than thunder, it crashed furiously into the savage ancient beast that was like a saber-toothed tiger.
The savage ancient beast seemed to know how dangerous this spear was. It evaded in a flash. Its silhouette was rather agile. Its movements actually contained the law of heaven and earth, as though it was displaying a high-level physical movement remarkable power.
“Huh? Savage ancient beasts actually have such talents.”
A look of surprise flashed past in Mo Wen’s eyes. These savage ancient beasts actually had such abilities. He was certain that this saber-toothed tiger savage ancient beast had certainly not trained in physical movement remarkable powers. However, right now, every movement that it made seemed to be interconnected with the law of nature.
Mo Wen’s spear thrust actually missed, sliding past the savage ancient beast’s body and crashing into the ground. However, Mo Wen’s power was not as showy as that of the savage ancient beast’s. The power on the long spear was focused onto a point that directly drilled deep into the ground. It did not destroy much of the surface, leaving only a small hole.
Of course, just because his attack was less destructive didn’t mean that it was not incredible. A cultivator that could control his own power to such an extent was truly frightening.
Roar!
The savage ancient beast seemed to have been enraged. It spread its wings and immediately flew into the sky. Its claws instantly grew bigger until they were the size of a mountain. However, its speed was still especially fast. With a flash, it had appeared before Mo Wen and struck down towards his head.
Humph! Mo Wen snorted. His figure also suddenly grew larger, instantly becoming a thousand feet tall. It was the Celestial Body.
Mo Wen did not try to avoid the attack. He fought power against power, directly crashing into the savage ancient beast’s claw.
Rumble!
There was a huge rumble and Mo Wen’s huge figure was knocked back three steps. However, the savage ancient beast was sent flying back hundreds of miles, shattering seven to eight mountain peaks along the way.
“Such a powerful brute force!”
Mo Wen was secretly shocked. Although he had sent the savage ancient beast flying, he was also knocked back three or four steps. This was while he had unleashed the Celestial Body; usually, even Supreme Profundity Realm cultivators would be at a disadvantage if they went head-on against him under such conditions.
“As expected, savage ancient beasts cannot be understood using common sense. On the surface, its aura is equivalent to the level of great attainment at the Tide Changing Realm, but its combat ability is many levels higher than the Tide Changing Realm. It is close to the Supreme Profundity Realm. Most likely Tide Changing Realm cultivators like Huai Hongxiu and Elder Xue would not be a match for this savage ancient beast.”
Mo Wen immediately grew cautious. Initially, he had planned to directly find a Supreme Profundity Realm savage ancient beast to take down. However, from the looks of it now, he shouldn’t act so rashly. With his current ability, he was certainly no match for a Supreme Profundity Realm savage ancient beast.
Roar!
This huge tiger wild beast shook its head and climbed out of the collapsed mountain peak rubble it was buried under. Across a distance of a few hundred miles, it looked at Mo Wen with a look of fear in its eyes. Then, it turned and fled decisively.
The savage ancient beasts that lived in the wastelands spent their days in fierce combat. If they did not eat other wild beasts, they would be eaten by other wild beasts. After surviving in such an environment for so long, the wild beasts here were rather proficient in combat. Their physical movements resembled that of physical movement remarkable powers. Their frightening strength was also honed from constant combat.
It was precisely because of that that the wild beasts that lived in these wastelands understood the law of survival very well. If they encountered an enemy that they could not win against, they would not go on fighting and would immediately run away.
“It ran away?”
Mo Wen smiled. Just now, the savage ancient beast was so majestic; right now, it had turned and fled. The change had happened too quickly.
Of course, he was not going to let the tiger-shaped wild beast escape. With a flash of his silhouette, he began to pursue it. The wild beast’s speed was rather fast. With a flap of the huge wings on its back, its entire figure dashed forwards like a bolt of lightning. With such a huge figure, it actually could still maintain such a high speed. There was more to it than met the eye.
Mo Wen had to unleash the illusionary spirit release technique to barely manage to catch up with the wild beast. He even needed quite some time to manage to catch up with it completely.
After unleashing the illusionary spirit release technique, Mo Wen’s speed was comparable to that of the Supreme Profundity Realm. Even an ordinary beginning stage Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator would be no match for him. Right now, he was actually having such difficulty chasing down a wild beast at the level of great attainment at the Tide Changing Realm. This wild beast clearly had Supreme Profundity Realm levels of speed.
Mo Wen suddenly realized that this trip to hunt wild beasts would not be as easy as he had imagined. The tiger-shaped wild beast did not even have Tide Changing Realm levels of cultivation. However, with the abilities it displayed, even Supreme Profundity Realm cultivators would find it hard to kill it. It would most likely manage to escape from them.
A wild beast was so hard to kill. Wanting to use the beast’s flesh to strengthen one’s body was no easy feat.
Mo Wen chased the tiger-shaped wild beast. He wanted to test how long it would take for him to catch up with the wild beast under normal circumstances. If he used the illusionary spirit divine wings, he would certainly be able to catch up with it in an instant. However, he did not want to do so. He had just arrived in the wastelands. He would most likely need to spend many days with these wild beasts. The more he understood about these wild beasts, the more beneficial it would be for him.
For fifteen minutes, one man and one beast, one behind and one in front respectively, flew for hundreds of thousands of kilometers. The distance between the two of them grew closer and closer until they were less than 10 miles apart.
Mo Wen smiled slightly. He already had an initial understanding of the wild beast’s overall capabilities. Ten miles was just within his range of attack. He did not delay and shook the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear in his hand, preparing to kill the wild beast.
However, far off in the distance, a beam of black light flew out at this moment. The beam of black light was rather fast. In a short while, it had approached them.
Rumble!
The beam of black light descended and instantly killed the tiger-shaped wild beast that was in flight. The huge figure of the wild beast that was the size of a small mountain directly splattered into pieces.
An instant kill. Even Mo Wen could not possibly kill the tiger-shaped wild beast instantly with one blow without unleashing the Glory of Star.
After the tiger-shaped wild beast was killed, the beam of black light flew closer. It was a black-robed youth. His face was handsome to the point of being devilish. His eyes had no pupils and were completely black like a deep sea. Beams of monstrous Devil Qi emanated from his body. Within a hundred miles, all the trees withered and died.
A member of the Devil Kingdom!
Mo Wen narrowed his eyes. His expression was stern. He immediately recognized that the youth was a member of the Devil Kingdom. From the aura on his body, Mo Wen determined that the youth’s abilities were extremely frightening. Mo Wen actually felt a deep sense of danger well up inside of him. Even Old Man Xuan You had not made him feel such a sense of danger.
The youth walked up to the corpse of the tiger-shaped wild beast and started handling the corpse. He did not even glance at Mo Wen, treating him as though he was invisible. The flesh and blood of the wild beast were treasures. In the various realms, too few places still had wild beasts, causing the flesh and blood of wild beasts to become more and more precious and hard to find.
“Friend, it’s not very nice of you to snatch my kill, is it?” Mo Wen’s expression turned ugly. He had chased this tiger-shaped wild beast for hundreds of thousands of kilometers. This youth had actually killed and claimed it for his own without even a greeting. Wasn’t that being too obnoxious?
The youth still continued to handle the corpse of the tiger-shaped wild beast. He seemed to have no intention of answering Mo Wen.
Mo Wen’s face was tense as he hesitated for a bit. Then, he did not say anymore and turned to leave. The world was like this. It was survival of the fittest and the laws of the jungle were absolute. The strong could bully the weak as they pleased. Given the situation, Mo Wen could only back down. He was certainly no match for this Devil Kingdom youth cultivator.
“Did I give you permission to leave?”
Mo Wen had just taken two steps when a sinister voice suddenly came from behind him.
