Chapter 924: Chapter 815: Peril Everywhere

Like human cultivators, the strength of mutant beasts at each realm is also divided into varying levels.

For example, the Vajra Monkey that Ye Fan once encountered in the Holy Land of the Australia Continent was an Imperial Family mutant beast from the Ancient Cultivation World, and coupled with cultivated Beast Techniques, its strength was formidable. It left all the young geniuses, including Ye Fan, helpless. Ultimately, it was Ye Fan’s comprehension of the Four Directions Sword Formation within the Gu Sword Formation that led to defeating the Mid-stage War God Level Vajra Monkey.

Compared to the Vajra Monkey, the Mid-stage War God Level mutant beasts that Ye Fan and Su Liuli encountered on the Holy Mountain were relatively weaker.

At this moment, the Red Bear that Ye Fan and Su Liuli encountered, judging solely from its aura, was significantly stronger than those Mid-stage War God Level mutant beasts encountered on the Holy Mountain.

Hence, Ye Fan did not rashly attack as before but frowned and stared at the Red Bear.

On one hand, it was his first time encountering a red bear, and he did not know what special abilities it might have. Furthermore, the Forbidden Land was utterly mysterious, and he dared not be careless.

Additionally, he searched his mind for information about bear-type mutant beasts.

Chu Xuanji’s interests were quite broad, and his collection contained many books similar to those of strange creatures, specifically introducing rare birds and beasts that had long been lost in the river of history, most of which were already extinct.

Ye Fan often browsed these books during his cultivation, for, being on a mountain meant there wasn’t much entertainment. Reading these books was just for some curiosity and storytelling, at least it was a way to pass the time.

Upon initially encountering the red-haired bear, Ye Fan had a vague feeling of familiarity, but he could not recall where he had seen it before.

This kind of mutant beast definitely does not exist in real life, so if he’d seen it before, it must have been described in ancient texts.

Suddenly, Ye Fan thought of a mutant beast that existed in legend.

Bloodthirsty Mad Bear!

A renowned mutant beast among the Bear Clan in the Ancient Cultivation World, known for its bloodthirst and cruelty.

There were records of the Bloodthirsty Bear in ancient texts, and even images; due to its mutations, its black fur turned into blood-red fur, with a powerful talent ability of blood-rage, making it exceptionally troublesome.

The Bloodthirsty Bear doesn’t rank top among Mid-stage War God Level mutant beasts, but rather middle-upper tier. However, after unlocking Spiritual Wisdom, these Bloodthirsty Mad Bears become highly cunning; though their combat power is average, they are very difficult to deal with.

"Hehe... Today I have a feast, I can’t remember how many years it has been since I tasted the flavor of human flesh and blood. Just coming out today and I can have a full meal, what a boon!"

While Ye Fan pondered over the Bloodthirsty Mad Bear’s information, the bear seemed to consider Ye Fan and Su Liuli as prime meat ready for the taking, not in a hurry to make a move, but instead used its Mind to communicate with them.

"Liuli, I won’t give you a chance to practice, but try to make a move against it,"

Ye Fan softly told Su Liuli, deciding to resolve the battle as quickly as possible, not allowing the Bloodthirsty Bear to escape, as it might draw other mutant beasts.

Ye Fan saw that mutant beasts in the Forbidden Land were universally powerful; Early-stage War God Level mutant beasts had no right to survive here. If the Bloodthirsty Bear drew several strong Mid-stage War God Level mutant beasts, it would be highly unfavorable.

Nonetheless, Su Liuli’s heart pounded excitedly!

After all, among the younger generation, Ye Fan was absolutely the first to remain calm facing a formidable Mid-stage War God Level mutant beast like the Bloodthirsty Mad Bear!

Plus, this was in the Forbidden Land; letting the Bloodthirsty Bear escape might plunge them into danger.

Of course, she also knew that Ye Fan’s confidence in making this decision stemmed from his absolute trust in his own strength.

With her heart aflutter, Su Liuli wasted no words, rapidly arousing the Gang Qi within her. One after another, dense streams of Gang Qi surged from the top of her head, forming a lush Bodhi Tree. Though illusory, it appeared almost identical to a real Bodhi Tree.

Through the training in this round of the Hidden God List competition, her mastery of the Bodhi Tree had grown more proficient, and its power was constantly increasing.

"Before me, you have no chance, so just become my food!"

Though aware of the Bodhi Tree’s immense power, the Bloodthirsty Mad Bear didn’t take it seriously; in its view, both were at the Early-stage War God realm, a whole Great Realm apart from itself, making desperate attempts futile. The ability to reverse defeat Immortals could only be achieved by ancient-era demons.

Moreover, so-called reverse defeating Immortals was merely happening among human cultivators; the body strength of mutant beasts far surpassed human cultivators, an undisputed fact.

Swoosh!

Su Liuli paused for no moment, her hands positioned in front of her chest, suddenly thrusting forward. The Bodhi Tree evolved by Gang Qi suddenly flew up, akin to a mountain peak, rushing rapidly toward the Bloodthirsty Mad Bear.

Ye Fan, expressionless, suddenly shot two beams of strange light from his eyes, directly toward the Bloodthirsty Mad Bear’s eyes, employing spiritual attacks to interfere with the bear.

"Roar..."

Though having unlocked Spiritual Wisdom, and possessing an exceptionally powerful body with unparalleled melee prowess, the Bloodthirsty Mad Bear’s spiritual power was not quite strong.

Caught off guard by Ye Fan’s spiritual attack, it hastily circulated its Mind to resist Ye Fan’s Mind Attack, while simultaneously swinging its giant bear paw with Gang Qi surging within, fiercely striking the rapidly approaching Bodhi Tree.

Boom!

A loud explosion ensued; the Bloodthirsty Mad Bear’s paw struck the Bodhi Tree with great force, causing the Bodhi Tree to tremble violently before exploding, with Energy Waves sweeping in all directions.

Being the first to bear the impact, the Bloodthirsty Mad Bear was battered by waves of Energy, but its Protective Aura repelled them, not causing it any harm.

Yet, after destroying the Bodhi Tree, it experienced dreadful rebounding force, which directly pushed it back three steps!

Whiz—

Just at that moment...

A sharp sound piercing through space rang out!

A Xuanye Flying Blade whizzed out from Ye Fan’s sleeve, furiously absorbing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, instantly transforming into fierce Blade Energy, becoming a sword light as it violently slashed toward the Bloodthirsty Mad Bear.

Realizing Su Liuli’s killing move couldn’t inflict substantial damage on the Bloodthirsty Mad Bear, Ye Fan decisively took action, using the third style of Flying Sword Skill, ’Flowing Light’!

"Roar~" _{fr eewe(b)nove.l.co\m}

Feeling the sword light emanating formidable energy waves, the Bloodthirsty Mad Bear shrieked in terror, attempting to flash to dodge.

However—

The bear’s strengths lay in attack and defense, speed was its weak point.

"Pff—"

Blood erupted, flesh flew.

The Xuanye Flying Blade, with a long trail of sword light, sliced the Bloodthirsty Mad Bear in half as effortlessly as cutting tofu!

One hit killed!

Even though the Bloodthirsty Bear’s defense was remarkable, it was still instantly killed by Ye Fan with one strike!

The massive body of the Bloodthirsty Bear twitched twice before splitting in half and collapsing to the ground with a loud bang, sending dust flying everywhere.

Although Su Liuli had already witnessed Ye Fan’s tremendous power, she was still in awe to see him take down the Bloodthirsty Bear with one blow.

However—

Amidst her amazement, she also felt a faint sense of worry.

She and Ye Fan had just entered the Forbidden Land and already encountered a formidable Bloodthirsty Bear. Who knows what they might face next.

...

At the same time as Ye Fan and Su Liuli were slaying the Bloodthirsty Bear, Xu Wudao and the other two were facing great difficulties as they encountered a dominant presence among the Mid-stage War God Level Mutant Beasts.

It was a Dual-headed Lion, over ten meters in length, with a dark golden mane and two massive heads on its neck.

The moment it saw them, the Dual-headed Lion launched an attack, first roaring, sending rolling sound waves that made their blood boil and caused them to experience tinnitus and dizziness.

"Be careful and deal with it!"

Xu Wudao shouted fiercely, taking out his ancestral black spear and adopting a ready stance.

Without needing his warning, Andre and Anton also knew that this Dual-headed Lion was no easy opponent and prepared for a desperate fight!

"Grr..."

The Dual-headed Lion roared, pouncing on the three like lightning, its two enormous mouths wide open, aiming to bite Anton and Xu Wudao, while its sharp claws slashed toward Andre’s chest.

"Vile creature, looking for death!"

Xu Wudao thrust his black spear straight toward the lion head aiming at him, the spearhead surging with Gang Qi, flickering with light.

Whish!

Anton also used his desperate technique, transforming his right hand into a blade and swiftly launching a sword light slashing toward the Dual-headed Lion.

"Get out of my way!"

Andre raised his golden spear and slashed fiercely at the Dual-headed Lion.

The three of them went all out from the start!

Because they all knew that the strength of this Dual-headed Lion was among the top even within the Mid-stage War God Level Mutant Beast, and they absolutely couldn’t hold back.

Bam!

Andre’s golden spear turned into a spear shadow, slashing at the Dual-headed Lion’s sharp claws, producing a crisp sound.

With this strike, he used all his might, splitting the snarling lion’s sharp claws, but his right hand was jolted, and the golden spear nearly slipped, causing his palm to ache, and he was sent flying backward, his internal state somewhat unstable.

Bam!

Bam!

At the same time, the two giant heads of the Dual-headed Lion opened their vast mouths and spat out two dark golden beast cores, each countering the attacks of Xu Wudao and Anton.

"Hiss~"

Xu Wudao, Anton, and Andre gasped in shock!

They knew very well that ordinary mutant beasts had only one beast core, and those with two beast cores were absolutely dominant among mutant beasts!

At this moment, the Dual-headed Lion they encountered was like that, not only withstanding their attacks but also remaining completely unfazed!

"It’s too strong, we can’t kill it quickly, and there are other mutant beasts around. Continuing the fight is extremely dangerous, we should part ways here and escape with our skills!"

After the shock, Xu Wudao immediately regained his composure. Sensing the presence of three other mutant beasts around, he decided to flee as he eyed the Dual-headed Lion ahead.

Swish!

Swish!

Without any hesitation, Anton and Andre instantly fled, the former using a Flying Martial Technique and the latter activating golden wings, turning into a golden streak, moving at incredible speed.

After entering the Forbidden Land, they had found out that flying artifacts were usable within it.

"Boom~"

At the same time, Xu Wudao summoned his ancient war chariot, and upon being filled with Gang Qi, it suddenly expanded, exuding a sense of iron-blooded history and age.

Xu Wudao leaped onto the ancient war chariot, sweeping over the Dual-headed Lion’s head.

"Roar~

Xu Wudao, Anton, and Andre decisively fled with incredible speed, leaving the Dual-headed Lion unable to pursue them. Watching them leave, it roared furiously.

Half an hour later, Xu Wudao stopped on a hilltop, with a lingering sense of fear.

The beasts in the Forbidden Land were incredibly powerful. During his escape, he encountered several Mid-stage War God Level Mutant Beasts no weaker than the Dual-headed Lion. If not for the ancient war chariot, he would have long become their food.

"I must find a safe place to enter closed cultivation, strive to break through soon, and reach the realm of Mid-stage War God to survive in the Forbidden Land."

Xu Wudao gazed at the vast mountains below, with a sinister gleam in his eyes, muttering, "Once I break through to the Mid-stage War God Realm, combined with the ancestral ancient war chariot, the Forbidden Land will become my main battlefield! By then, regardless of mutant beasts or the scum named Ye, they will all be annihilated!"

Simultaneously, both Anton and Andre found relatively safe places and decided to enter closed cultivation to reach the Mid-stage War God Realm!

Like Xu Wudao, they had already cultivated to the Great Perfection of the Early-Stage War God Realm, ready to break through at any time, and once they do, their combat power will skyrocket!
