386: Kill three more monsters
With his current strength, dealing with three ninth-grade Yao Beasts might be a bit difficult.
But if it was only one, Mu Feng wasn't flustered at all.
The three Yao Beasts approached very quickly.
Soon after they appeared within the range of his Divine Sense, they entered Mu Feng's sight.
Looking up,
the three Yao Beasts came in a triangular formation, one in front and two behind.
The one in front was a black bear, extremely massive, several tens of feet tall, looking like a large truck.
From its aura, it should be the ninth-grade Yao Beast among the three Yao Beasts.
Besides it,
the two Yao Beasts behind it were also astonishingly large, a leopard and a black-furred bird.
The three Yao Beasts came menacingly and at extreme speed.
Mu Feng only took a glance and hadn't even had time to check their information before the Yao Beasts were already in front of him.
The black bear looked at the battle marks on the ground and the fragments of ancient treasures shattered by the Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Sword, a look of surprise on its face.
It had only been a few minutes from the time it heard the commotion until it arrived here.
Originally, it thought both sides were Nascent Soul Cultivators, and the battle should last a long time before ending.
It never expected that in such a short time, this Human Race Cultivator, who seemed to have just entered the Nascent Soul Stage, had already dealt with his opponent.
However, surprise was surprise.
It didn't believe that Mu Feng, a Human Race Cultivator who had just advanced to Nascent Soul, could escape unscathed when surrounded by their three Shapeshifting Yao Beasts.
Immediately, it gave a look to the two Yao Beasts behind it.
The Leopard Yao and the black-furred bird immediately attacked first, striking at Mu Feng's face.
With its two companions attacking,
the black bear didn't stay idle.
It pushed off with its legs, and its entire body charged towards Mu Feng like a speeding truck.
Purple smoke emanated from its entire body, looking quite extraordinary.
The three Yao Beasts moved in unison.
Mu Feng remained calm.
He activated the Vajra Shield in his hand, which transformed into a thick protective shield around him.
The two Little Lizards behind him attacked, one after another.
The Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion confronted the black-furred bird, while the Little Lizard faced the Leopard Yao beside it.
This was the arrangement Mu Feng made for them when he saw the three Yao Beasts approaching.
As for Mu Feng, he directly confronted the Black Bear Demon.
This time, he didn't directly use the Great Geng Sword Formation.
Instead, he intended to test the power of the Demon Dragon Blade after absorbing one-third of the demon seed.
At the same time, he also wanted to test the strength of his current combat power.
"Rumble!"
The Demon Dragon Blade swung down, directly meeting the Black Bear Demon's fist.
Powerful energy immediately emanated from the clash, sending nearby debris flying.
"As expected of a ninth-grade Yao Beast, its strength is truly immense."
After a single collision, Mu Feng retreated rapidly.
He felt his arm, holding the sword, was a bit numb.
"Sizzle!"
"What kind of weapon is this? It can actually burn my Protective Aura?"
The Black Bear Demon looked at the demonic flames remaining on its hand after clashing with the Demon Dragon Blade, its brow furrowed.
It had just tried to extinguish these demonic flames with its True Qi, but it had no effect whatsoever.
This surprised it.
Just as it was about to unleash some Divine Abilities, Mu Feng's attack struck first.
Having witnessed the strangeness of the Demon Dragon Blade, the Black Bear Demon dared not be careless.
It muttered something under its breath.
The next second, its massive Physical Body doubled in size again.
A thick layer of energy armor also appeared on its body.
"Clang!"
"Pfft!"
As soon as the Black Bear Demon's energy armor appeared, the Demon Dragon Blade, dozens of feet away, reached its body.
After a clang of collision, there was a dull thud of a weapon entering flesh.
It was the Demon Dragon Blade, after cutting through the Black Bear Demon's energy armor, advanced a few more inches, splitting open the Black Bear Demon's shoulder, which was protected by the armor, causing blood to flow.
With a successful strike,
Mu Feng's face was filled with joy.
The power and strangeness of this Demon Dragon Blade exceeded his expectations.
He had thought the Dazzling Light Halberd's attack was already silent enough.
But the Demon Dragon Blade's attack was even more so.
Not only could it injure people from a distance, but it was also incredibly sharp.
It directly broke through the defense of this thick-skinned Black Bear Demon, which was also protected by layers of armor.
He thought this was the end of it.
However, something unexpected happened again.
Black flames suddenly erupted from the wound pierced by the Demon Dragon Blade.
The temperature of the flames was not astonishing, but their burning speed was very fast.
In just a blink of an eye, they spread to the black bear's palm, connecting with the previous demonic flames.
Then, a scene that almost made Mu Feng's jaw drop occurred.
After the two demonic flames collided, a destructive power emanated from their fusion.
Immediately after, the Black Bear Demon's entire arm, along with half its shoulder, directly turned into nothingness!
This wasn't over yet.
Even after half its shoulder was gone, the flames on the Black Bear Demon's body didn't dissipate.
Instead, they accelerated and spread to other parts of its body.
This time, the speed was three times faster than before.
By the time the Black Bear Demon reacted, its body had already been completely covered by the black flames.
Subsequently,
the Black Bear Demon didn't even have time to let out a cry before its entire body directly turned into nothingness in front of Mu Feng.
Thud.
A purple Yao Core, the size of a head, fell from the sky.
Along with it was a miniature Black Bear Demon soul, emitting a faint purple glow.
This sudden change happened so quickly that the two Yao Beasts next to the Black Bear Demon didn't even realize what had happened.
Their leader was directly wiped out.
Not to mention them,
Mu Feng was also a bit stunned right now.
He knew this Demon Dragon Blade was very powerful, but he didn't expect it to be so strong.
The Black Bear Demon was only breached in defense and bled a little.
It was directly burned to ashes by the overwhelming black flames!
This seemed a bit too powerful.
Is the Demon Dragon Blade that formidable?
Why did he remember that when he fought the Ancient Demon, the Sword Qi it unleashed was just so-so.
Later, when he fought the Little Lizard, he also felt it was ordinary.
How did it become so powerful in his hands?
Just a few casual swings, and a ninth-grade Yao Beast was taken care of.
"Tsk tsk, you're really lucky, kid. This Demon Dragon Blade seems to be very compatible with your Body Tempering Cultivation Technique. Even the Void Black Flames that the Ancient Demon couldn't release, you can activate and release them."
Just as Mu Feng was shocked by his combat power,
a red System prompt appeared before him.
"Ah?"
"You mean, this is a Demon Blade specifically prepared for the Heavenly Martial Body Tempering Art?"
It was fine if the prompt didn't appear.
Once it appeared, Mu Feng became even more confused.
How did he remember that the Heavenly Martial Body Tempering Art was just a Body Tempering Cultivation Technique, and he hadn't seen any exclusive weapon that matched it.
But then again,
it seemed that every Cultivation Technique, after cultivating to Core Formation, had a corresponding Lifebound Treasure that could be refined.
Logically speaking, this Heavenly Martial Body Tempering Art should also have one.
But he hadn't seen any record of it.
Unless...
The Heavenly Martial Body Tempering Art he obtained was not a complete Cultivation Technique.
He might have only obtained a certain Body Tempering part of it.
He had nothing else.
Even the medicinal baths for the Cultivation Technique's upgrade, he had to find them step by step.
"That's right, the Ancient Demon said before that this Cultivation Technique is very similar to their Demon Race's Body Tempering Cultivation Technique. Could it be that this Demon Dragon Blade is truly the exclusive weapon of the Heavenly Martial Body Tempering Art?"
Mu Feng suddenly recalled what the Ancient Demon had said to him earlier in the Mystic Heaven Tower's main hall.
At that time, he had thought it was just something the other party said intentionally to confuse him.
Now it seemed there might truly be such a possibility.
After all,
the Ancient Demon's appearance was very similar to the three-headed, six-armed pattern he saw on the altars where he obtained the Heavenly Martial Body Tempering Art.
"Forget it, forget it."
"Why think so much? Anyway, it's a good thing that this Demon Dragon Blade is powerful."
"Besides, it's too difficult to figure out this thing thoroughly. Perhaps there might be records or explanations in the crystal treasure chest, who knows."
Mu Feng shook his head, no longer thinking about it.
He turned his attention to the other two sides of the battlefield.
At this moment, the battles on both sides had reached a fever pitch.
After the two Yao Beasts saw the Black Bear Demon instantly killed like that, they had no intention of fighting.
Every strike was made with full force, as if they wanted to quickly deal with the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion and the Puppet Lizard that were interfering with them.
The two Yao Beasts were quite strong.
Especially that black-furred bird, which continuously unleashed powerful Spells, causing the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion to retreat steadily.
Moreover, that black-furred bird seemed to have some innate skill to counter the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion's strange cries.
The Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion's cries had no effect on it several times.
Instead, it was beaten black and blue.
Seeing this, Mu Feng knew that if he didn't intervene, his Spiritual Insect would be killed by this black-furred bird. He immediately raised his arm, and the Lifebound Treasure Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Sword, which he had put away earlier, attacked again.
With Mu Feng's assistance, the pressure on the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion was greatly reduced.
It circled its body and began spraying large amounts of Poison Mist to counterattack the black-furred bird.
On the other battlefield, the Puppet Lizard firmly held the advantage.
After entering Nascent Soul, the Little Lizard's combat power had improved very significantly.
The Leopard Yao's attacks couldn't break through its defense, but the Little Lizard was able to frequently cause it considerable trouble.
Looking at the situation, it wouldn't be long before the victor was decided.
Seeing that the Little Lizard was fine,
Mu Feng turned his head and seriously fought the black-furred bird next to him.
"Ah!!"
With Mu Feng's help, the black-furred bird quickly couldn't hold on.
After a few missed dodges, it was pierced through the heart by hundreds of Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Swords and died.
On the other side, the Leopard Yao let out a painful scream.
Clearly, it was also easily dealt with by the Little Lizard.
Mu Feng looked back.
It was pretty much as he had imagined.
After the Little Lizard entered its new berserk form, the Leopard Yao was beaten black and blue.
Just now, it was even kicked crippled by the Little Lizard.
If Mu Feng hadn't wanted the Demon Dragon Blade to absorb its cultivation, it would have already died a miserable death.
However, it wouldn't live much longer anyway.
Here, Mu Feng had already used the Demon Dragon Blade to easily absorb the black-furred bird's cultivation.
"System Reminder: You have killed a Nascent Soul Early Stage Immortal Cave Yao Beast. Demon Seed increased by twenty points."
"Not bad, another twenty points!"
Mu Feng nodded.
When he killed the Black Bear Demon just now, it might have been burned away by the black flames, so the Demon Dragon Blade didn't increase the number of demon seeds, which made him very regretful.
Fortunately, these two eighth-grade Yao Beasts were still there.
He immediately took action and dealt with them.
After killing the black-furred bird,
Mu Feng turned and swung hard, directly killing the disfigured Leopard Yao beside him as well.
"System Reminder: You have killed a Nascent Soul Early Stage Immortal Cave Yao Beast. Demon Seed increased by twenty points."
As the red prompt appeared,
at this point,
all the Nascent Soul Yao Beasts in this Secret Realm space had been cleared out by him.
Presumably, even if there were still Yao Beasts guarding the crystal treasure chest, their number wouldn't be as formidable as before.
It was even highly possible that there were no Shapeshifting Yao Beasts guarding it anymore.
Thinking this,
Mu Feng was afraid that delaying time would lead to unforeseen circumstances, so he directly scooped up the two Yao Beast corpses with his hand and put them away.
Along with them, he also collected the Materials left behind by the Black Bear Demon, which had been dealt with by the Demon Dragon Blade.
"System Reminder: Eighth-grade Yao Beast Inner Core x1"
"System Reminder: Shapeshifting Feathers x10"
"System Reminder: Shapeshifting Yao Beast Primordial Spirit x1"
....
"System Reminder: Eighth-grade Yao Beast Inner Core x1"
"System Reminder: Shapeshifting Yao Beast Primordial Spirit x1"
"System Reminder: Shapeshifting Leopard Skin x1"
....
"System Reminder: Ninth-grade Yao Beast Inner Core x1"
"System Reminder: Shapeshifting Yao Beast Primordial Spirit x1"
...
After a period of collecting,
Mu Feng now had two eighth-grade Yao Beast Inner Cores, one ninth-grade Yao Beast Inner Core, and several Yao Beast Primordial Spirits and Materials.
Mu Feng glanced at the Materials and saw that they were all refining Materials for Spirit Treasures.
He looked at them a few times, found no special attributes, and put them away.
As for the Yao Beast Primordial Spirits and Inner Cores, he sorted them and put them away.
Among them, what made Mu Feng happiest was naturally the ninth-grade Yao Core.
With this, after returning, he could directly refine the Transforming Spirit Ginseng Pill and the Cultivation Infant Pill together.
At that time, he would then refine the heavenly spiritual treasure Eight Spirits Ruler in his hand.
He thought that from then on, very few other people or Yao Beasts here would be able to threaten him.
Alas, being invincible is truly as lonely as snow.
But then again,
the Yao Beast Materials this time were quite few.
He didn't know if it was because when the Demon Dragon Blade absorbed the opponent's cultivation, the flesh and blood were also absorbed.
However, because they were not killed by the Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Sword, the Shapeshifting Primordial Spirits of the three Yao Beasts were all preserved.
This was a blessing in disguise.
He still needed these Shapeshifting Primordial Spirits, after all, they were the Materials for refining the soul forming pill.
"Hmm, the things in this Storage Ring are a bit poor."
"There are so few Spirit Stones!"
After putting away the Yao Beast Materials, Mu Feng took out the Flying Spirit Race Birdman's Storage Ring and casually looked at it.
He found that the things inside were pitifully few.
Compared to the Nascent Soul Cultivators he killed in the Trial Tournament, both the Spirit Stones and items were inferior.
However, he only glanced at it casually.
The most important thing now was the crystal treasure chest.
As for the items in this Storage Ring, he would wait until he got the crystal treasure chest and returned to his Immortal Cave to slowly examine them.
Anyway, this thing was already in his hand, so he didn't have to worry about it growing legs and running away.
As for the other crystal treasure chest, it was still far from being acquired.
It was the Righteous Path to hurry up and get it.
Thinking this,
Mu Feng directly headed towards the center of this Secret Realm.
The System prompt had just told him that the location of the crystal treasure chest was in the central area.
So there was no need to search anywhere else.
