Chapter 2577: Chapter 2575: Beast Spirit

"I still prefer to go alone, I’m used to it."

Ken Middleton shook his head, chuckling as he spoke, his usually calm face showing a hint of anticipation, akin to a boy embarking on his cultivation journey for the first time.

The day’s time quickly passed, and Ethan Smith walked in this Holy Kingdom.

At this moment, he had initially figured out that there was a self-restricting force here, the power of this Holy Kingdom.

Just like the suppression the Hominini faces when entering the Ghost World or the demon race.

However, in this place, such suppression is even stronger, as not even a trace of previously comprehended power can be harnessed.

But skills and martial techniques are not affected at all, just like battle instincts, during fights with some Demonic Beasts here.

Even if his body is inferior to his opponents, Ethan can rely on combat skills to subdue them, of course, these are the unawakened beasts. Ethan senses great danger within this Eternal Night kingdom.

Additionally, there’s one thing that benefits him, after his original Divine Soul Power underwent the baptism of Holy Energy.

Besides enhancing the Original Power, its initial power remains proportional.

This means, the once powerful Divine Soul still holds an advantage.

Moreover, his special power, the Nine Heavens Condensing Pupil, can still be used.

This is also the reason he was able to kill eight unawakened beings in a day’s time.

And surprisingly, the Retribution Seal condensed by Morning Frost still exists within his Divine Soul, not shattered along with his body.

The Retribution Seal helped him considerably recover after battles.

"Be careful, young brother, don’t make a sound."

Suddenly, a faint voice sounded behind Ethan’s ear.

The hairs on Ethan’s body stood on end, his body tensing like steel instantly.

The voice seemed incredibly close, yet he hadn’t noticed anything. If the voice intended malice, Ethan might have been ambushed successfully.

"Don’t be nervous, something is coming. Don’t make even the slightest movement."

Suddenly, a foul-smelling wolf skin was tossed over, perfectly covering Ethan’s body.

Soon, Ethan heard a dense flapping above his head, as he lay crouched, he lifted his head slightly to look.

Good heavens! A never-ending sea of Crows, numbering nearly a few thousand just by sight.

Those blood-red Crow eyes appeared fierce just at a glance.

Suddenly, hundreds of Crows dived down violently.

A place within the forest emitted a heart-wrenching bear roar, and within seconds the sound went silent.

Nearly half an hour later, behind him, a rustling sound appeared.

An elderly middle-aged man and a boy about six or seven years old appeared behind Ethan.

"It’s fortunate the elder warned you; if those Crows had targeted you, you’d probably face certain death."

Ethan subconsciously backed away a few steps, although the elderly had just saved his life.

But living beings appearing here couldn’t be judged by common sense, caution was still necessary.

"Night Devil Crows, rumored to be Demonic Beasts awakened only in the Holy Kingdom’s Eternal Night. I never thought the legends were true."

The old man stared at the departing Crows, unaffected by Ethan’s wariness.

"You should be a foreign living being, right?"

The old man turned his head and suddenly asked.

This old man is no simple figure!

Ethan squinted his eyes, body ready for battle.

"Brother, don’t worry, Grandpa has lived here for over seven hundred mysterious years, naturally knows many things. Besides, the village chief even accepted three people like you yesterday."

The young boy said while giggling.

"Are you natives of this place? You seem different from those I’ve encountered so far."

Ethan asked softly.

It seems this Holy Kingdom has many derived places, just like Earth, with villages, towns, and kingdoms.

"You must be talking about the unawakened Demonic Beasts. These beings haven’t awakened their minds and are called beast spirits here, those that have awakened some divine sense are called Human Spirits, above them True Spirits, and then Path Spirits, but beyond that, is unknown."

The elderly, noticing Ethan’s vigilance, didn’t approach him.

"Elder, what level of spirit are you? Where did you get this information?"

Ethan vaguely sensed no malice from the elderly and continued asking.

"We are all beast spirits."

The elderly smiled, as if noticing Ethan’s surprise, he continued explaining.

"Only after we made sounds, the village chief continuously taught us, thanks to him, we’ve gradually awakened some intelligence. The method of avoiding these wild beasts is also a technique taught by the village chief, the village chief mentioned we are still some distance from being Human Spirits."

"What?"

Ethan was startled, discovering that this elderly is merely the lowest level existence in the Holy Kingdom.

And what are True Spirits and Path Spirits? From these names, it seems the Holy Kingdom has its own cultivation system.

He had previously used Nine Heavens Condensing Pupil to scout the Holy Kingdom, yet hadn’t detected any power of the law. So how do they cultivate?

"What level is your village chief, elder?"

Ethan hesitated for a moment before asking.

"Big Brother! The village chief is the most remarkable person here, he’s the strongest! Do you want to visit our village and meet the chief, you’d definitely find him impressive!"

The little boy said bouncing, his round head shaking adorably.

He only knew a few adjectives: remarkable and powerful, making him look very cute.

"As for the village chief, I’ve asked him before, but he didn’t answer, probably belonging to the Human Spirit or higher level, otherwise how could he have enlightened us."

The elderly smiled while rubbing the little boy’s head.

"Forget it, I won’t go."

Despite wanting to meet the village chief they spoke of, Ethan was still somewhat apprehensive.

"Young man, you must be careful. We are heading back now. According to the chief, many foreign visitors like you have already died."

The elderly shook his head and was about to leave with the boy.

Ethan moved his body, silently heading toward another place.

Like a ghost, he traversed the forest, moving agilely and swiftly, almost soundlessly, changing positions several times before stopping.

At this moment, the Nine Heavens Condensing Pupil on his forehead slowly emerged.

Within the world of the Nine Heavens Condensing Pupil, he clearly saw the two figures.

Just like infrared lighting, the two figures slowly walked away.

"Truly intriguing people with not a hint of defense?"

Ethan was curious; he couldn’t let go of his sense of vigilance.

The old man managed to survive over seven hundred years; based on his behavior, Ethan felt it impossible for him to have survived this long in this place.
