381: Chapter 381 Provoking a Great War

Li Daoxuan was overjoyed because although he hadn't yet achieved a Breakthrough to the Second-grade True Martial Realm, his bones had undergone a primary tempering, making the subsequent tempering much easier.

After tempering his bones once, Li Daoxuan slowly stood up and looked toward the valley.

"Hmph, just a few small Vicious Beasts dare to act so boldly before me? See if I don't slaughter you all."

Although he couldn't take down those two Beast Kings yet, Li Daoxuan was already extremely powerful compared to the other Vicious Beasts.

If he were to go again, those Rhinoceros Vicious Beasts wouldn't be his match at all, even if they charged together.

Because he possessed the Power of the Great Dao within his body, a continuous stream of the Power of the Great Dao could rapidly recover his injuries.

This way, he was no longer afraid of getting hurt.

Whenever he was seriously injured, the Power of the Great Dao would surge out endlessly, quickly repairing his body.

By this time, his stamina had no limit; combined with the fact that he would recover instantly after taking damage, unless the opponent's cultivation was far stronger—like those two Beast Kings—the other Vicious Beasts were simply no match for him.

Raw Rhinoceros meat didn't taste good, and neither did bone marrow, but they could rapidly increase Li Daoxuan's cultivation.

Li Daoxuan had already reached the Peak of the First-grade True Martial Realm, just a step away from a Breakthrough to the Second-grade True Martial Realm.

This boosted his confidence greatly, and he set off again, rushing toward the valley.

This time, he wanted to kill at least two.

Or rather, with his strength, he could kill a Rhinoceros before it could even open its mouth.

Thinking of this, Li Daoxuan's figure instantly vanished into the valley.

The place where the great battle had occurred was still a mess, looking heavily devastated.

Li Daoxuan didn't stay here long and turned his gaze toward the river.

Sure enough, the two major races were drinking water by the river, clearly separated; no traces of other races were found here.

This indicated that other races had certainly been wiped out by these two. If not for the two equally strong Beast Kings, only one race might have remained in the end.

Li Daoxuan didn't strike; he watched quietly, waiting for a Rhinoceros or a monkey to wander far enough away before he prepared to act.

Time passed bit by bit, and night soon fell. Li Daoxuan's eyes brightened slightly as he spotted a lagging Rhinoceros.

He instantly transformed into a streak of light and appeared beside the beast.

Then, before the Rhinoceros could react, Li Daoxuan's fist slammed hard into its snout.

The Rhinoceros didn't even let out a scream, instantly dazed; by the time it reacted, its nose and mouth had already caved in.

Li Daoxuan wouldn't give it a chance; the Sword plunged directly into its neck.

The Rhinoceros tried to struggle, but Li Daoxuan suppressed it firmly, making no sound at all.

Before long, the Rhinoceros lost its breath.

Simultaneously, Li Daoxuan quickly pulled out the Sword and gulped down the Rhinoceros's beast blood.

He only stopped once he had drunk most of the blood.

Looking at the bloodstains on the ground, Li Daoxuan instantly cleaned them up and carried the Rhinoceros quickly toward his Ice Cave.

He destroyed all the bloodstains along the way; it was basically impossible for those Rhinoceroses or monkeys to track him.

Dropping the Rhinoceros, Li Daoxuan set out again. It was quite late, but he wasn't afraid.

He released his aura and moved quickly toward the valley.

Upon reaching the valley, he hid his aura again; otherwise, it would be easy for the two Beast Kings to discover him.

Li Daoxuan was very fast and soon reappeared in the Rhinoceroses' territory.

At this time, the Rhinoceroses were either asleep or lying lazily on the ground.

Li Daoxuan targeted the furthest Rhinoceros; the Sword silently pierced into its neck.

By the time the Rhinoceros reacted, it was already too late.

Li Daoxuan was very fast; just as it was about to cry out, he smashed its snout with a punch, making it unable to scream.

Otherwise, the Rhinoceros's cry would surely attract the attention of the others.

Although this Rhinoceros was quite far out, the Beast King in the center was not someone he could provoke.

He realized that even though he had reached the Peak of the First-grade and was not far from the Second-grade, he was still no match for that fellow—in fact, he was still far behind.

Li Daoxuan knew that if he wanted to take it down, he would likely need to reach the Second-grade Peak, and that would still require the Power of the Great Dao to constantly repair his body.

Li Daoxuan was very fast, quickly taking the killed Rhinoceros out and running back again.

The reason his speed was so fast was that he wanted to gather more Rhinoceros Vicious Beast corpses while it was still dark.

The other Rhinoceroses didn't notice their patrolling members vanishing one by one until the next morning, when the entire herd fell into chaos.

Because they found that over a dozen clansmen had vanished, and all of them were Vicious Beasts, causing them great panic.

Why would such a situation occur? Could it be that those monkeys had ambushed them?

This situation filled the Rhinoceros Beast King's eyes with killing intent, and it spoke to itself.

Since the other side could do this, they could do it too.

During the night, while the monkeys were deep in sleep, they didn't know that Rhinoceroses were sneaking into their camp.

The monkeys on the periphery especially suffered, losing their lives unknowingly.

It wasn't until a certain monkey got up at night that the anomaly was noticed, but the Rhinoceroses had already left, taking the monkeys' corpses with them.

By the time the monkeys reacted, they had also suffered heavy losses.

Then, the two major races began another massive war; this time, it was no simple matter.

In particular, the two Beast King-level beings fought each other to a standstill.

The losses among the other clansmen were similar; in any case, the consequence of this war was a drastic decrease in their numbers.

With the monkey and Rhinoceros populations halved, the two Beast Kings realized they couldn't keep fighting like this, or both races would likely be wiped out.

The culprit, Li Daoxuan, was happily staying in his Ice Cave, eating Rhinoceros meat, drinking blood, and continuously Cultivating.

This time, Li Daoxuan had secured sixteen Rhinoceroses; including the previous one, that made seventeen in total.

Seeing so many Rhinoceroses, Li Daoxuan hesitated about whether to go and get some monkey Vicious Beasts.

However, when he arrived at the valley the next night, he saw the Rhinoceros clan ambushing the Monkey Clan, which startled him into fleeing back quickly.

He didn't dare provoke these two major races for a short while, deciding to use this harvest to first Breakthrough to the Second-grade Realm.

With second grade true martial stage cultivation, he wouldn't need to fear the two Beast Kings.

Although he still might not be able to defeat the two Beast Kings, he would be fine in a direct confrontation.

A hint of joy appeared on Li Daoxuan's face, and after returning to the Ice Cave, he began to Cultivate rapidly.

With resources, a Breakthrough to second grade true martial stage was nothing to him.

That same day, he finished tempering his finger bones and began his bone-tempering process.

As time passed bit by bit, the great war in the valley continued.

Because he had abundant resources, Li Daoxuan's cultivation rose steadily, and he soon reached the Eighth-stage of the Second-grade.

This cultivation level was very powerful; at least within the valley, besides the two Beast Kings, no other Vicious Beast was his match.

Thinking of this, Li Daoxuan stood up and walked quickly toward the valley.

Before long, Li Daoxuan stopped and cautiously surveyed his surroundings.

Inside the valley, after the last great war, both races had become extremely cautious.

Li Daoxuan observed the Monkey Clan but found no openings, so he had no way to strike.

Next, he went near the Rhinoceros clan, and it was the same.

He knew that after the last war, both races had become smarter; clansmen would absolutely not separate if they could help it.

Li Daoxuan's inability to act while waiting made him grow impatient.

Suddenly, Li Daoxuan thought of something, and a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.
