Chapter 538 - 448: Above the Spirit Control Realm, The Little Loli’s Special Hobby

So, One-tailed brought out most of the Treasures of Heaven and Earth from the cave. With a flick of her fingertip, they all soared through the air toward the feasting Xiong Batian. "Ah Xiong, don’t just eat meat! Have some greens, there’s plenty."

"Okay, okay, okay! Thank you, Sister One-tailed."

In an instant, a mountain of treasures piled up beside Xiong Batian. All sorts of Treasures of Heaven and Earth were gathered there. While not as mystical as Spirit Fruits, they were still fine items, each with its own unique properties. Among them were even super treasures that could help the Demon Race with Opening Spirit Veins. If he could have eaten just one of these in the past, he would have been driven mad with excitement.

But now, they were merely convenient snacks. He had no idea of their true value; he just knew that after eating them, he felt quite powerful, and his body felt much more unblocked.

And just like that, as he ate with wild abandon, the wisp of aura he had been gathering—an aura belonging to a level above the Spirit Control Realm—finally solidified!

That’s right. He had finally advanced beyond the Spirit Control Realm, becoming a genuine Great Dominator! Moreover, he had completely inherited the King Kong Ape’s Steel Body!

Of course, this Steel Body had seemed rather fragile under One-tailed’s attacks...

CHOMP~. One-tailed sat on a low-hanging branch of an ancient tree in the Primitive Ancient Forest, her little feet dangling. She held an apple-like fruit in her petite hand, taking a bite with her small, fanged mouth and chewing silently. ’He evolves so quickly. He can even absorb Talents.’

She still looked like that same little girl, gazing down with amused curiosity at Xiong Batian, who was stuffing his face on the ground below with a complete lack of decorum.

For her, Cultivation was existence, and existence was Cultivation. Eating didn’t accelerate her progress; it was simply delicious.

Therefore, she had no need to consume the King Kong Ape’s essence, nor did she have to absorb the Heaven and Earth Spirit Charm from the Spirit Fruit. Simply by wandering about, she could gather a great deal of Heaven and Earth Spirit Charm for herself and her main body.

Indeed, as long as she existed, a ceaseless stream of Heaven and Earth Spirit Charm would surge toward her. It would be absorbed automatically and then transferred to her main body. When her main body’s Realm ascended, so too would her own.

This efficiency was naturally very high, already astonishing enough to be considered divine. But when the Nine-tailed Fox’s second clone slot was given to her master, Jiang Qiu, that efficiency skyrocketed to an unimaginable degree!

If the cultivation efficiency of others was a small valley, then when she appeared, the Nine-tailed Fox’s cultivation rate was a vast plain, already unreachably high for countless members of the Demon Race.

But when Jiang Qiu also took the second clone slot and integrated into this system, employing a mutually beneficial Cultivation method with the Nine-tailed Fox, that speed shot up, becoming a towering monument that countless members of the Demon Race could only gaze up at in awe!

Surely no one would think that evolving from the Early Stage of the Transformation Realm to the Perfect Transformation Realm in just three years is slow, right?

After all, in the entire outer region of the Primitive Ancient Forest, there are only a handful of True Dominators. The Golden Eagle, in particular, is an insurmountable peak for countless Great Dominators. He has cultivated for several thousand, perhaps even tens of thousands of years!

No one knows for sure if he has cultivated for that long, but without a doubt, he is at the very least a Super Great Demon who has lived for thousands of years!

And the Nine-tailed Fox, aside from her previous millennia of cultivation, has surpassed thousands of years of others’ efforts in just three years. If that isn’t Talent, what is?

Is such a Cultivation speed not heaven-defying?

One can only imagine how shocked the other True Dominators, entrenched in their own vast territories, would be if they were to learn of the Nine-tailed Fox’s existence.

If the Nine-tailed Fox were to reproduce, her offspring would surely form a super Great Demon Race within the First Celestial Realm, one on par with or perhaps even surpassing the Chaos Bloodline.

’I never used to think so,’ One-tailed mused, ’but now I’ve experienced it. I can kill the King Kong Ape with a casual wave of my hand, looking upon him as I would an ant. I have that confidence now.’

’Thinking about it, I almost feel sorry for the King Kong Ape. After all, we were separated by a whole High Realm. He was only in the Early Stage above the Spirit Control Realm, while I’m at the Perfection stage of the Transformation Realm. That’s a gap of nearly two High Realms, with a massive chasm in our understanding of Cultivation Techniques between us.’

’But that’s just how it is with the strong and the weak. I’m strong, and he was weak. What can you do?’

One-tailed had always been simple. She didn’t understand concepts like friendship or other miscellaneous emotions. She simply believed that if something could be done, it could be done, and if she liked doing something, she would do it.

Things her master permitted were permissible. Things her master didn’t forbid were also permissible. And fun things were worth doing.

During the three years Jiang Qiu and the Nine-tailed Fox were in seclusion, she had been all alone. Since she didn’t need to cultivate and had nothing fun to do, she started playing with Xiong Batian.

Killing demons had never been her idea of fun. She didn’t find it amusing to kill another member of the Demon Race; after all, she didn’t need to rely on eating Great Demons to become stronger.

She simply found it very amusing to watch Xiong Batian, the bear she had raised, constantly grow. As long as Xiong Batian kept changing, a pleasant feeling would bubble up inside her.

This was the curiosity of a child exploring the world.

Of course, she was a part of the Nine-tailed Fox’s Soul Body, but she also faintly possessed her own nascent individuality.

One could understand it as a thought that had evolved from the Nine-tailed Fox herself; it was just that the main body was too complex for such a simple psychological state to be apparent...

Of course, Xiong Batian was even less capable of understanding such a state of mind. He just felt that Sister One-tailed was too good to him, always looking out for him and even helping him cultivate to a level beyond the Spirit Control Realm!

After a while, the two of them finished dealing with the King Kong Ape’s territory. Xiong Batian continued to carry the small One-tailed on his back, sprinting at lightning speed toward the territory of the next Great Dominator!

Now, Xiong Batian’s speed had evolved to a whole new level. Even One-tailed, a Super Great Demon at the Perfect Transformation Realm, could be thrown off if she wasn’t paying attention. This caused her snow-white hair to fly free, unable to be contained, streaking across the sky like a bolt of white silk and leaving a snowy trail through the Primitive Ancient Forest.

His speed was already beginning to approach that of the Nine-tailed Fox—though, of course, there was still a considerable gap. However, he was definitely faster than the Nine-tailed Fox had been when she first became one of the Eight Great Dominators.

Because his Talent was focused entirely on his physique, his explosive power was off the charts. His legs were exceptionally strong, allowing him to leap dozens of meters in a single bound—a truly impactful sight.

Feeling the violent jolts from his movements, One-tailed felt a warmth in her heart. ’The bear I raised is so powerful,’ she thought. ’Every leap and landing carries such a fierce impact.’

Long after the two of them had completely left the King Kong Ape’s territory, the members of the Demon Race who had fled earlier cautiously began to gather again. They started to feast on the bloody leftovers, sparking another gruesome free-for-all.

For most members of the Demon Race, the flesh and blood of a powerful being was the most precious treasure in the world, perhaps not even inferior to a Spirit Fruit.

Because snatching a Spirit Fruit was a true impossibility, but there were always remnants of a powerful being’s flesh and blood. Even a single drop of blood counted as a remnant.

Thus, whenever a powerful member of the Demon Race fell, a great number of demons—and even creatures yet to achieve Spiritual Awakening—would swarm in to devour the remains. After a time, a new, powerful demon would rise from their ranks to become a Dominator, and so the cycle would repeat.

This was how the Primitive Ancient Forest maintained its endless, inexhaustible population of demons.

But One-tailed didn’t care. Her heart had long belonged to Jiang Qiu. She didn’t care how large her territory was; she only hoped she could follow Jiang Qiu forever and, if possible, eventually go to the Second Celestial Realm.

’Of course, that’s very difficult. I can probably only dream about it.’

As for One-tailed, her thoughts were similar. She never cared about territory or any of that. She was content just doing what her master Jiang Qiu wanted and raising Ah Xiong for fun.

But things rarely go so smoothly. When the two of them slaughtered the King Kong Ape and stole his Spirit Fruit, they set a storm in motion.

High in the sky, hidden by the endless canopy, the cries of the Golden Eagle clan echoed in all directions. One after another, Great Demons at the Grand Dominator Level gathered, awaiting the command of the True Dominator...
