C30 Advanced fighters

In the depths of the Vast Expanse Mountain Range, the afternoon sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, warming the land. Some unknown small beasts were darting through the forest in a carefree manner.

"Aooo!"

A roar was heard.

The forest trembled, and the little things that were playing in the forest scattered and fled in all directions.

“Bang!” Another loud sound was heard.

A large tree that need several people to embrace collapsed with a thud, revealing two figures, a big and a small.

That small figure was a human youth. Although his tattered clothes and the crisscrossing scars on his body caused him to be in a slightly sorry state,

With the long spear in his hand, he was like an unsheathed sword, emitting a powerful aura from his body.

Opposite him was a huge black bear that was about 16.5 meters tall. If an ordinary martial cultivator saw it, he would be able to immediately recognize that this was a Second-Ranked Demonic Beast, the Earth Tyrant Bear.

Of all the demonic beasts, the Earth Tyrant Bear was the hardest one to deal with. Even for the warrior-level hunt teams, they would usually go as far as they could if they met one.

It was because the Earth Tyrant Bear had a very shameless ability. Namely, when its life was in danger, it would go berserk. And then, their fighting strength would double. It made the bear that was originally hard to deal with became the killer of most of the hunt teams, and when mentioned it, people would turn pale.

Right now, the Earth Tyrant Bear had completely gone berserk. However, a few bone-deep wounds on its body indicated that its current situation was extremely bad.

The spear-wielding youth was Ye Yang. The bear was the strongest beast he had encountered in the past dozen days, and was also the most outstanding one amongst all the Second-Ranked Demonic Beasts.

Ye Yang unleashed all of his firepower and fought fiercely for more than four hours before finally injuring that bear seriously. Previously, he had found a rare opportunity to stab the bear's heart with his spear at full strength.

Currently, the Earth Tyrant Bear was at the end of its tether. If it was an ordinary demonic beast, it would have died a long time ago. So it showed how tenacious the Tyrant Earth Bear was.

"Aooo!"

The Earth Tyrant Bear let out another furious roar.

It mustered all his strength and rushed forward.

Ye Yang's feet touched the ground and he jumped into the air. He shouted loudly, using his spear as a javelin.

The long spear in his right hand was like an arrow released from a bow, bringing with it a strong wind as it flew towards the beast’s head.

Puff.

The spear pierced right through the Bear’s eye and exited through its brain.

The Earth Tyrant Bear crashed onto the ground. Its body slightly twitching then it stopped moving.

Ye Yang heaved a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground. This was the most difficult battle he had ever experienced in his life. That bear was too powerful. But for stabbing its heart, Ye Yang would run away.

He reached out to pull out his spear, but the black iron spear was stuck in the Earth Tyrant Bear's head. At this moment, he had used up all his energy, so he couldn't pull it out.

Ye Yang could only meditate to recover his Genuine Qi. In this unknown mountain range, it was extremely dangerous if there was no power to protect yourself, because demonic beasts at any rank would be able to kill you.

Fortunately, Ye Yang didn't have to worry too much about it. There was the aura of the Earth Tyrant Bear and its smell of blood. Injured demonic beasts were the most dangerous ones, because anyone who dared to step foot beside them would be met with berserk attacks.

It took more than an hour to completely restore his Genuine Qi, and then he hurried to exert Dragon-elephant Dark Golden Body to heal his injuries.

By the time Ye Yang's Genuine Qi and strength had fully recovered to its peak, more than four hours had already passed.

Ye Yang stood up and pulled out the black iron spear from the Bear's body. He sensed that he was indeed at his peak condition, so he slowly exerted Deicide Tactic.

It turned out that Ye Yang going through all sorts of hardships and risks was in order to kill this Second-Ranked Demonic Beast for obtaining its Soul Attraction.

Although there was no basis, Ye Yang had an intuition that the soul of a Second-Ranked Demonic Beast was definitely much better than that of a First-Ranked Demonic Beast.

Unfortunately, the formation of a Soul Attraction was very strange. It had to be killed by one's own, so as to make the demonic beast to generate its own resentment. It couldn't be finished by another’s hand, otherwise it wouldn't work.

Ye Yang had also dreamed of using the Demonic Beast at the Third-Rank, which was equivalent to a beast at the Master Level, to do the Soul Attraction. However, thinking of that even the Second-Ranked Earth Tyrant Bear had almost caused him to flee, needless to say a beast at the Third Rank, he reckoned that he wouldn't even have the chance to escape

Following the exertion of the Deicide Tactic, an illusory image slowly emerged from the body of that bear, which was a completely mini version of it.

The image was only the size of a dog, but it was very solid, which was much stronger than that of the Scarlet Flame Wolf.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Yang’s hands faced each other while his middle finger and ring finger were intertwined, and formed a strange seal. Then he let out a low cry

"Merge!"

Following his low cry, the soul image of that Bear was pulled towards the center of his brows by a strange energy.

The moment the image entered his forehead, the originally loose Genuine Qi in Ye Yang's dantian slowly gathered together, and formed a Qi whirl, slowly spinning.

It was as if some soldiers that were fighting on their own were suddenly gathered together by a commander, forming a strong cohesive force.

At the center of the Qi whirl, a transparent pearl at the size of a rice grain slowly formed.

The soul image of the Earth Tyrant Bear was slowly drawn to the center of the Qi whirl. As the bear let out an unwilling roar, it was instantly absorbed by the Oi whirl and disappeared without a trace.

After absorbing the soul image, the Qi whirl had obviously grown in size. The transparent pearl on top of it had also grown from the size of a rice grain to the size of a soybean.

Ye Yang opened his eyes and could no longer hide his excitement. He called up all his Genuine Qi and roared to the sky.

The dragon's howl-like roar accompanied by waves of air shook the surrounding ancient trees until the leaves began to fall, making birds fly, and wild beasts scatter in all directions. His roar sounded dozens of kilometers.

In another clearing in the dense forest, three men and one woman were resting there. They were all warrior-level martial cultivators, and the one with a dead-like gloomy face particularly had reached the peak of warrior level.

Hearing the roar, they all trembled. A man with a scar on his face said, "Such a thick Genuine Qi. It is no weaker than any of us. And its voice sounds very young."

The gloomy-faced middle-aged man said, "It doesn't matter. We won't provoke him anyway. Besides, we have four people. Even an ordinary Martial Master might not be able to win against us. Our business is more important. If we complete this task, we four will definitely become experts of Uda Empire."

At the mention of "business," a beautiful young woman around the age of 27 said, "Big brother, are you really sure that the treasure trove is nearby?"

The gloomy-faced man impatiently said, "You guys have asked me a few times along the way. This treasure map was obtained by chance. If I didn't consider that we four have been sharing happiness and woe for so many years, I wouldn't have taken it out to share."

"Alright, let's cut the crap. Since we're here, we should at least look for it carefully. If we succeed, then we won't have to hide forever. Let's move out." Then the gloomy-faced man led the way into Forest.

After Ye Yang let out a long roar, he gradually calmed himself down. He felt the surging energy in his body and, it was much stronger than before. Even he himself did not know what level he had reached.

However, these were not the most excited things. Instead, the thing that made him most ecstatic was the transparent pearl in his dantian.

He was no longer a newcomer, or rather, a rookie. He knew that this transparent pearl was called spiritual energy seed or spiritual seed for short.

It was the foundation for cultivating spiritual energy. That was to say, other than martial cultivating, Ye Yang could also cultivate his spirit techniques and become a Spiritual Cultivator.

Spiritual Cultivator was known as the heaven and earth's darling. Mu Yuqing, who was childhood friends with Ye Yang, was a spiritual energy cultivator. Her cultivation had reached the spiritual soldier level. It was fair to say that Ye Yang must have deeply experienced her spiritual energy.

He took the Earth Tyrant Bear's body into his Dimensional Ring. Fortunately, the Dimensional Ring that Li Chengfeng gave him was big enough, and all parts of the Earth Tyrant Bear were treasures, so he could eat as much as he wanted and the rest could be sold at Eight Desolations City.

As he thought of this, Ye Yang's mind stirred, and his sense spirit entered a dimension. Within it, a thirty-three thousand-meter tall broken sword appeared in front of him.

He wasn't sure if it was his own illusion, he felt that the broken sword had grown a little longer, but it also didn't seem to have changed.

Before Ye Yang's train of thoughts calming down, the sword shook and a light ball with the size of a dragon eye appeared in front of Ye Yang.

He could not help thinking back to the first time he had obtained the Deicide Tactic, but that pain made him somewhat afraid.

But now, without any hesitation, Ye Yang directly pointed to the light ball, and a large amount of information was immediately injected into his mind.

However, this time he did not feel the pain he had imagined, instead, he only felt a slight swelling in his brain.

After carefully reading the information in his mind, Ye Yang's calm heart suddenly became passionate again.

Soul Absorbing Grimoire, Ye Yang almost laugh when he saw this name. “It was such a funny thing. You almost have the same name with the heavenly palace.”

The more he read, the more he found it mystical, and he had no mood to laugh. Its cultivation methods actually contradicted other cultivation methods, because it did not rely on absorption, but on consumption to cultivate.

Martial cultivators needed to constantly exhaust their own spiritual energy in order to advance.

The grimoire didn’t explain details, but only explained the basic cultivation methods. As for anything else, he had to rely on himself to figure it out. “Forget it. Just take it one step at a time.”

"Now that I have broken through the martial cultivator, I can be considered as a real cultivator. I need to continue cultivating, and the most important thing is to master the Dragon-elephant Dark Golden Body to the Great Perfection of the Bronze Level."

Ye Yang held the black iron spear in his hand, and a sliver of Genuine Qi was sent into it. The inscription on the spear began to light up, and immediately the weight of the black iron reached 2500 kilograms.

He dragged his feet and walked deeper into the Vast Expanse Mountain Range.
