Jiang Hao really felt that beasts beca more reasonable as they grew stronger, or maybe it was also dependent on their bloodline.
In fact, it might be similar to humans. Only the talented and geniuses reach higher levels, similarly, maybe only beasts with good bloodlines reach the upper levels.
Hong Yi and Yao Heng didn’t react much. Their death was imminent, but they still had the choice to die on their own terms. They could detonate their dantians, as they were not totally helpless.
Hong Yi sighed. Now he truly understood how all those who had co to hunt Jiang Hao must have felt. They were all played into their hands.
"Oh well, ti to end this cultivation journey. I had a feeling that I wouldn’t have been able to ascend anyway."
Hong Yi wasn’t going to commit suicide just like that. He would at least deliver one final attack.
Yao Heng understood this as well when he felt spirit qi gathering around Hong Yi. So, he too decided to attack.
There was no point in attacking Jiang Hao directly, since he was so close to them . He would just die if that person didn’t save him, and if that person was indeed protecting him, then their direct attacks wouldn’t matter either way.
Hong Yi was following the path of Wind Dao, so violent winds began to cover him. The winds spread to nearly a thousand ters with him at the center.
Jiang Hao was already inside the silver barrier.
Yao Heng was proficient in Water Dao, so a massive blob of water, which looked like a sea in the sky, ford above his head. Suddenly, a beast started to take form from the water, and within seconds, it turned into sothing resembling a flood dragon.
Hong Yi’s wind also turned into a giant bird that looked close to an eagle, but wasn’t exactly one.
Jiang Hao didn’t couldn’t comprehend the real purpose behind turning their attacks into beasts—maybe that was simply how their techniques functioned, or maybe there was sothing more to it. He doubted that asking them would get him any answers.
"Puny tricks... Tsk. Let show you what a real flood dragon can do."
The beast imdiately moved. It didn’t seem to be using any kind of ability, its sheer body was a weapon in itself.
When Hong Yi and Yao Heng saw that, they imdiately attacked. A giant water flood dragon and a wind golden roc, both about two thousand ters long—larger even than the original flood dragon—moved towards it at insane speed.
The flood dragon snickered and, while moving, twisted its body in an extre manner, allowing its tail to spring forward with unimaginable speed.
For Jiang Hao, though, he only saw them attack, and before he could even perceive anything, he heard a loud thundering sound.
THIAAAAKKKKKKK!!
It was as if the world itself was breaking apart. The collision of their attacks was so strong that the entire area beneath them was ruptured. No trees remained, and the ground itself caved in, forming a crater spanning tens of miles, the sea water churned violently.
The tail of the flood dragon didn’t stop after hitting the incoming attacks. It still moved and struck Hong Yi, Yao Heng, and Jiang Hao.
Both Hong Yi and Yao Heng turned into blood mist on the spot, while Jiang Hao was thrown far into the distance, completely vanishing from his original location.
The flood dragon squinted its eyes at that and imdiately gave chase.
Jiang Hao shook his head inside the barrier. He had only been able to hear the sound before getting hit and flung far away.
He was certain of only one thing—both cultivators were dead.
He sensed his spatial nodes. They were quite far. He only knew their direction but not their exact distance.
"Senior, I think it’s ti we get back," Jiang Hao said while looking at the dot approaching him.
Even as he spoke the sentence, the dot had already co close enough for him to discern—it was the sa flood dragon.
"Go on, use your Major Teleportation ability toward your back, or do you wish to lose more spirit stones?"
Jiang Hao nodded. So they were about 100,000 miles from the border—it was indeed quite far away.
As the flood dragon neared him, Jiang Hao used his ring. It was the first ti he used this ability.
He disappeared from the flood dragon’s perception, making it squint its eyes even more.
The fact that its will imposition didn’t work on Jiang Hao was even more disturbing for it.
...
Jiang Hao appeared high above in the sky. He could see a city nearby—it looked like he was close to the Zhu Kingdom border with the Dark Forest.
Jiang Hao imdiately sensed his spatial node and teleported to the mountain. He quietly teleported to his house, or his senior sister might have caught him again, creating even more unnecessary trouble.
Jiang Hao decided to cultivate now. He didn’t know how long it would take for him to reach the Nascent Soul Realm, but it would definitely take so years.
After reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, he had planned to travel the world. With everyone safe now, he could do so freely. He always wanted to see the world with his own eyes, and after reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, he would fulfill that wish.
Although it was only a lower realm world, it was still very vast and incomprehensible—unless he saw it with his own eyes.
Jiang Hao took out spirit herbs and started cultivating again.
Ti passed, and the day when Huan Caiyi and Zhi Hui decided to break through to the Heavenly King Realm finally ca.
...
Jiang Hao, Ming Yue, Yao Ying, and Yin Ni were all standing a little far away, watching Huan Caiyi and Zhi Hui.
They had decided to break through together.
Yao Ying had increased the qi density of the entire mountain so it would help them cross successfully.
"Watch carefully. The breakthrough to the Heavenly King Realm brings trendous changes to a cultivator’s body."
Jiang Hao and Ming Yue heard Yin Ni’s voice.
"What do you an, Senior?" Ming Yue asked imdiately.
"You must have heard the phrase that real cultivation starts from the Heavenly King Realm, right?"
"Yes."
"Well, actually it might seem just a phrase to you in the lower world, but in the upper worlds, it is the truth.
The realms before the Heavenly King Realm are rely terd as foundational realms for starting one’s true cultivation journey.
And those who haven’t reached the Heavenly King Realm aren’t even considered cultivators. They are rely mortals shedding their roots of mortality.
Only once they shed all of their mortal roots—that is, once they reach the Heavenly King Realm—are they seen as proper cultivators.
So, the Heavenly King Realm is the starting point for cultivators in the upper realm."
