Chapter 1856 - 1839: Challenging Exotic Beasts

Yellow Mound Spirit Valley was as silent as ever, with a darkened sky and a yellowish hue all around. The only sounds were the continuous roars of the Spirit Rank exotic beasts.

Since the appearance of the Desolate Spirit Beast, which caused over a hundred masters chasing Xiao Ye to perish here, it has already been considered a Forbidden Land. Even though it is a Treasure Land, no one dares to set foot in it.

Treasures are indeed important, but compared to life, they fall far short.

And here, it also became the best closed cultivation ground for Xiao Ye.

Suddenly, an exotic beast, tens of feet tall and covered entirely in green scale armor, as if forged from steel, walked out from the depths of the valley. It carried with it rolling wind and thunder, its momentum earth-shattering, as it fiercely charged toward a young man.

"Well-timed, Star Extinguishing Palm!"

The young man looked up with a smile, both palms filled with a destructive aura meeting the exotic beast, with terrifying power erupting instantly.

In an instant, the void in Yellow Mound Spirit Valley trembled violently, and the hard rocks in the valley began to crack.

The two were completely disproportionate in size, yet this beast could do nothing to the young man. After several dozen breaths of fierce battle, it was bombarded by the opponent’s terrifying palms, causing its body to tremble wildly.

"Roar!"

The beast roared angrily once again, countless light balls burst from its surface, causing the heavens and the earth to boil, illuminating the valley like countless Stars descending, bombarding towards the young man, engulfing this heaven and earth.

Watching Xiao Ye’s figure disappear, a sense of satisfaction finally flashed across the furious eyes of the beast.

Although it was not the overlord of Yellow Mound Spirit Valley, it was still quite extraordinary.

A master ranked over three hundred on the Realm Spirit List once came to Yellow Mound Spirit Valley and was killed by it. And this young man dared to provoke it repeatedly?

"Big guy, the fight isn’t over yet."

Just as the beast was about to leave, suddenly a silhouette rushed out from the blazing light, the scripture phenomenons, the characters "Jing" and "Gu," suspended in the air, supporting a defense.

"First-class Spiritual Method, Flowing Light Spirit Fist!"

The young man shouted loudly, his fist hammering forward, with unparalleled power erupting instantly, sweeping across the All Heavens World as if countless Star Rivers had exploded.

Boom!

The beast’s scale armor shattered into a large piece instantly, scorching blood shooting skyward, its massive body hurled hundreds of meters into the air before crashing down hard.

"Roar!"

Staring at the young man suspended in the sky in the distance, the beast’s massive body shivered, then quickly got up and fled towards the depths of the valley.

"I have long been able to deploy the scripture phenomenons of Jing and Gu, but the technique was too immature, completely wasting these two heaven-defying scripture phenomenons. Fortunately, under the guidance of the Time Great Saint, I could withstand the Green Qilin Spiritual Beast’s strike."

The young man showed a trace of a smile, stepped forward to collect the beast’s blood, and then unhurriedly followed after it.

Undoubtedly, this young man was Xiao Ye.

In the depths of Yellow Mound Spirit Valley, the peaks made of hard stone began trembling. As Xiao Ye soared through the air, exotic beasts of various shapes all ran out, scattering in all directions as if avoiding a dreadful god.

If any other martial artist from the Second Layer Heaven were present, they would be so shocked they’d be speechless.

Exotic beasts are inherently fierce and hostile to human martial artists. Yet now, so many exotic beasts were scared by a single human martial artist?

"This..." Xiao Ye shook his head helplessly.

Combat is always the best means of enhancing strength.

In Yellow Mound Spirit Valley, besides cultivating hidden within the Time Tower, he would usually go out to find opponents, and the exotic beasts here naturally became his adversaries.

Through endless battles and honing, his strength has advanced significantly, and many exotic beasts have come to remember Xiao Ye as an evil god.

Xiao Ye ventured deeper into the valley, leisurely chasing the Green Qilin Spiritual Beast, encountering no other exotic beasts to block his path.

"Roar!"

Feeling Xiao Ye’s pursuit closing in, the Green Qilin Spiritual Beast finally stopped. It crawled down in front of a completely black mountain, emitting low roars full of reverence, as if pleading for help.

Boom!

Suddenly, the black mountain began to tremble, a pair of giant eyes like lanterns opened, shooting out two red beams of gaze, enveloping Xiao Ye, transmitting a wave of furious emotion, turning all the surrounding mountains within a hundred miles to dust, the power overwhelming.

"Desolate Spirit Beast!"

Xiao Ye’s eyes narrowed, his gaze blazing fiercely, as a wave of war intent surged forth.

The Desolate Spirit Beast was the overlord of Yellow Mound Spirit Valley, lofty and aloof. This was not Xiao Ye’s first encounter with it.

Previously, he would dive into the Time Tower at the first sign of trouble, but this time he did not retreat.

Under Xiao Ye’s watchful eye, the mist gradually dispersed, revealing a massive beast covered in black fur and possessing four limbs.

Its body was robust, intertwined with runes, and its fierce aura made even the Green Qilin Spiritual Beast shiver with fear.

Boom!

The Desolate Spirit Beast made its move, casting a massive shadow capable of obliterating all, swiftly and directly covering Xiao Ye’s head.

Xiao Ye let out a loud shout, activating the Taichu Ancient Scripture.

Rumble!

A vast spiritual power pressure rose from Xiao Ye, manifesting the Tai Chu Spirit Flower, half of its second leaf already transformed, as if gestated from Chaos. It unleashed endless Tai Chu Spiritual Power, forming sixty Spiritual Power Vortices.

Rushing sounds!

Such immense spiritual power converged instantly, evolving into endless spirit runes, shattering the void. Two layers of Million-Patterns Battle Map met the Desolate Spirit Beast head-on.

Rumble!

The heavens and earth quaked as though the plane was being destroyed, the Desolate Spirit Beast’s form momentarily stalled, its fierce attack shockingly blocked.

"It’s worthy of being a Desolate Spirit Beast; I’m still not enough to match it."

Xiao Ye let out a muffled grunt, his right arm torn, and retreated into the Time Tower.

Seeing Xiao Ye vanish, the Desolate Spirit Beast was filled with rage.

This detestable human martial artist always provokes it, only to disappear in the end. This scenario had played out many times before.

After frantically attacking everything around to vent its anger, the Desolate Spirit Beast finally departed.

Hiding within the Time Tower, Xiao Ye smiled slightly, his gaze falling upon three avatars refining Cosmic Spiritual Treasures.

At this moment, these three spirit bodies were jointly refining a Spirit Pill, its surface gathering four star patterns, the very Star Pattern Pill crafted by Yi Tianzhou.

Since Xiao Ye used the Time Tower to catalyze the Three-star Pattern Wood into Four Star Pattern Wood, he enabled the crafting of a more advanced Four Star Pattern Pill, its energy terrifying, too much for a single avatar to refine.

"Six years have passed in the outside world. My seven cultivated spirit bodies have already refined four of them, with my strength continuously improving, but I’m still a long way from the Late Stage of Heavenly Spirit Realm."

"However, my current strength is certainly not weaker than those Eight Great Masters." Xiao Ye mused.

Though only six years had passed outside, with the amplification from the Time Tower, he, relying on seven spirit bodies, had almost refined all the Cosmic Spiritual Treasures and Spirit Pills. He had not even spared the Cosmic Spiritual Treasures in Yellow Mound Spirit Valley.

This made him realize deeply that transforming into a saint with the Taichu Ancient Scripture was like a bottomless pit, never to be filled.

Even with numerous trump cards, he still felt the difficulty.

"Little guy, when do you plan to leave this valley? Do you not want to go to the Undying Mountain?" Suddenly, the voice of the Time Great Saint sounded.
