Fishing the Myriad Heavens

A Great Strength Heaven Shaking Elephant had nearly inexhaustible power, and upon reaching full maturity, they would have power equivalent to the Ten Thousand Year Realm. They were one of the most powerful even within the entire elephant race.

Although it was just a peak Third Layer Hundred Year realm elephant, it couldn’t be looked at so simply.

“Ka-cha!”

A teeth-numbing sound of a bone shattering rang out. Even though Lu Wei had given his all, it was still not enough!

Lu Wei’s attack had been the culmination of all of his strength and the release of all his blood Qi energy in one strike!

But, the moment he clashed against the Great Strength Heaven Shaking Elephant, it felt as if it was not an elephant’s foot he’d come into contact with. It was an incomparably huge mountain!

A powerful pressure like that of Mt Tai crushing onto his body smashed down.

Lu Wei collapsed on the ground in an instant, his backbone completely shattered. He no longer had any ability to fight.

However, Lu Wei’s attack had still forcibly moved the Great Strength Heaven Shaking Elephant, causing it to stumble 10 steps backwards continuously.

Lu Wei lay weakly on the ground, casting his gaze beyond the bridge. However, he shook his head bitterly. It was impossible to see the path behind him, let alone the world beyond it.

“Wuu!”

The Great Strength Heaven Shaking Elephant trumpeted fiercely, seemingly enraged. Its tusks gleamed sharply as it charged towards Lu Wei!

Is it going to end like this? It’s a pity that I cannot accompany you all to go further. I’ve also let down Family Head’s expectations and grooming.

Lu Wei felt unexpectedly calm, and his expression did not change at all as he watched the sharp tusks of the Great Strength Heaven Shaking Elephant coming closer to him. It was as if he was a spectator looking at someone else, completely emotionless.

“Boom!”

The Great Strength Heaven Shaking Elephant had already reached Lu Wei, and its tusks were just one palm’s distance away from Lu Wei’s head.

At this moment, the sharp air from the front of the tusks had already poked a small wound onto the side of Lu Wei’s face!

However, the Great Strength Heaven Shaking Elephant simply passed right by him. It wasn’t clear if it had become an illusion, or if Lu Wei had turned illusory.

“Wuu!”

The Great Strength Heaven Shaking Elephant roared painfully as a drop of dark golden blood flew out from its tusks. The instant that this drop of blood appeared, the air around it began to tremble!

The drop of blood floated in the air for a moment before flying directly into Lu Wei’s body!

“This is…?!”

Lu Wei gasped with shock. Without any time to think, he hurriedly moved to refine the drop of blood in his body.

At this time, this drop of blood was like a radiant sun, releasing a shocking amount of light!

This drop of blood floated within his heart, releasing wisps of viscous blood with every pump of his heart!

It was just a wisp of blood, but it invigorated his entire body!

The Great Strength Heaven Shaking Elephant trumpeted again before charging into one of the statues on the side and disappearing.

Many cultivators also thought that they were dead without a doubt, but, unexpectedly, the Demonic Beasts in front of them turned into illusory shadows and disappeared.

These experts did not have the leisure to celebrate, and were looking around with disbelief.

They had just seen a few people obtaining a drop of blood from the Demonic Beasts before them. That was clearly not any ordinary liquid, and could even be said to be the Demonic Beasts’ essence blood. Additionally, it was even the blood essence of the immature Demonic Beasts!

“What about my fortuitous encounter?”

“Why did they get rewards, but we didn’t?”

“This is illogical! It can’t be that even this relies on luck?”

A large number of cultivators was complaining as they looked at the cultivators who were seated on the ground, their bodies radiating large amounts of blood Qi energy.

They had all stepped onto this path together, so why did some gain their fortuitous encounters while they didn’t?

Inequality rather than want was the cause of all trouble!

If nobody got any rewards from this, these people would not feel so furious.

But now that some had, while they hadn’t…

A pair of brothers exchanged a glance, and the older brother said, “That essence blood is definitely not so easy to refine. Right now, those lucky bastards are busy refining the essence blood with all their might, so they won’t be paying much attention to their surroundings. If we make our move at this time and kill them, we can retrieve the essence blood, and the fortuitous encounter will be ours instead.”

“Would there be a problem? This stone bridge is too strange… why not we forget about it? We haven’t really entered the ruins yet, and I’m sure there will be many better things in there!” The younger brother was a little worried, and he advised to give up on the idea.

The older brother sighed, and scolded, “You’re really an idiot, huh! Who will ever complain that there are too few rewards? This essence blood is definitely extraordinary. Look at that guy who forcefully received a full strength stomp from the Great Strength Heaven Shaking Elephant just now. He was clearly on the verge of death a moment ago, with his back completely broken. But now, does he look like he was injured previously? If we waited for him to finish refining the essence blood and increase his strength greatly, we would suddenly gain another strong competitor when we enter the ruins!”

After a brief pause, he continued, “Besides, do you think that we’re the only ones with this idea? Look at the gazes of those people around! Those are the eyes of wolves! Even if we don’t do it, others will. Since that’s the case, we might as well be the ones who benefit!”

The younger brother nodded, finally making up his mind. “That sounds reasonable… Big Brother, whom do we target, then?”

Without any hesitation, the elder brother answered, “Those disciples of the large families naturally cannot be touched. Our every move is currently being observed by those big characters outside. We will be hunted and killed the moment we come out if we touch their disciples. So, those people without any backing are the best choice!”

Then, the elder brother instructed sternly, “Let’s do it, then. Once we seize the blood essence, we will continue running forward without stopping!” A good getaway plan was definitely essential since there were so many robbers with the same thought as they here!

Later, when they finished refining the blood essence, the strength of these two brothers would definitely rise greatly!

At that time, even if they were only within the Hundred Year realm, they would not be scared even if they had to face a Thousand Year King!

The two brothers exchanged a glance, and walked towards a person.

After this initial test round, there was only a quarter of the people left from 1,000 people on the bridge.

And among them, only about 40 had received the blood essence reward.

Among them, nearly 30 were people from the 12 large factions.

The remaining 10 or so were all rogue cultivators.

Right now, the atmosphere was somewhat strange. Everyone clearly had nefarious intentions, but no one was willing to be the first to stick their head out.

They did not dare to offend the people from the 12 large factions, since their elders were still watching at the entrance. Unless they planned to hide inside the ruins forever, they definitely could not make a move on them right now.

However, when it came to those rogue cultivators who didn’t have any backing, they were not that concerned. Everyone slowly began to surround and close in on the handful of rogue cultivators.

So that’s how it is… It seems that only those who’d dealt a significant amount of damage to the Demonic Beasts would be able to get the essence blood. As for those who didn’t get anything, they had merely managed to survive, and hadn’t managed to deal Demonic Beasts any significant damage.

Bei Feng, who watched outside, had a much better understanding of the situation on the bridge.

Those who’d obtained the essence blood had a common point: they’d all dealt a certain amount of damage to their Demonic Beast opponent.

The three most outstanding ones like Qing Ruyu and the other two had directly defeated their opponent, obtaining 10 drops of essence blood!

Bei Feng also guessed that the quality of the essence blood should also be different based on the different performance levels.

Those who hurt the Demonic Beasts would get one drop of essence blood, while those who defeated the Demonic Beasts would get 10 drops. As for killing the Demonic Beasts, no one had managed to do it! However, the corresponding reward should be greater than the reward for defeating the Demonic Beasts!

Bei Feng made some mental calculations. If it was him, defeating those Demonic Beasts would not be difficult, but if he wanted to kill them, he might need to use all of his trump cards!

Those Demonic Beasts were all extremely well endowed by nature, and their bloodlines were the strongest among their race. Their battle strength was extremely high!

Demonic Beasts were stronger than humans especially in the earlier stages, not to mention these top-level Demonic Beasts.

Even with Bei Feng’s foundations, he needed to use all his tricks if he wanted to kill this kind of Demonic Beast. From this alone, it was obvious how powerful they were!

Of course, that was under the premise Bei Feng was in the Hundred Year realm.

Going by his condition when he’d been at the peak of the Hundred Year realm, he could’ve at most killed two of these Demonic Beasts. If he wanted to kill three, it would depend on his luck. It was more likely that both sides would’ve ended up heavily injured!

The bodies of Demonic Beasts were much stronger than humans’.

This was mainly because their huge bodies could contain much more blood Qi—at least 10 times more than human cultivator at the same level!

So, although these top-level Demonic Beasts were only in the Hundred Year realm, their blood Qi energy was still incredibly powerful.

This was a normal thing, actually. If it was the descendants of god beasts like true dragons, Zhu Que, and Xuanwu, Bei Feng did not doubt that even a Hundred Year realm god beast would be able to thrash Thousand Year King realm experts!

And it was not just thrashing Thousand Year King realm First level experts… It was the same for Second level, Third level… even the entire Thousand Year King realm!

Of course, the descendants of god beasts would not be born at such a weak level. The moment they were born, their strength should be around the peak of most Demonic Beasts!

On the outside, all the Ten Thousand Year Realm experts of the large factions suddenly sat up, their hearts shaken by the sight in front of them.

As expected, it was a good decision to let these little fellows come. They’ve just entered, and they already obtained the essence blood of high-grade Demonic Beasts. Looks like I would need to report the location of this ruins to the clan, thought one of them.

How can the Demonic Beast Tribe claim ownership of such an amazing ruin! another one thought.

If the sect manages to claim control of this ruin, even without considering the things inside the ruin, just the essence blood of the Demonic Beasts on this stone bridge is enough for us to groom countless geniuses, thought yet another person.

Hmph! Do you think I don’t know what kind of thoughts you’re harboring in your mind? However, as long as that person is here, even the Martial Alliance won’t dare to do anything against us without provocation.

A black mist shrouded the Demon Venerable’s face, covering his expression.

Atop the stone bridge, the two brothers had already walked to the side of a lone cultivator who was refining essence blood. They didn’t seem to be doing anything, but like the other people nearby with similarly bad intentions, they were waiting for someone to make the first move.

The two brothers were already secretly deciding how to make a move, and how to escape with the loot, avoiding a situation where they were attacked by the masses together.
