Dylan rejected the invitation of the girl and said goodbye. He did not want his secret to be known by others.
If he really started hunting with a group, the sudden rise in his strength will definitely shock them.
Thus, he rejected the offer and went on to continue his killing spree.
Another three days passed very soon, and now, Dylan was a Seventh Layer Bone Refinement Stage martial artist.
The speed in his cultivation was not as fast as he had expected.
In four days, he was only able to raise his cultivation from zero to the Seventh Layer of the Bone Refinement Stage.
When he broke through and entered Bone Refinement Stage, the speed in an increase in cultivation decreased a lot. He did not expect this.
But this also allowed him to understand that his initial goal was too farfetched. He could not complete his goal in seven days no matter what.
Thus, decreasing his goal, he decided to at least reach the peak of the Qi Transformation Stage in the remaining three days.
Half a day later, Dylan encountered a Level 3 demonic beast called Gale Wolf.
"Aooo!"
The Gale Wolf stared coldly at Dylan and Dylan also started back at it. Since this wolf was a Level 3 demonic beast and he was only at Bone Refinement Stage which was equal to a Level 2 demonic beast, Dylan was not confident if he could deal with this beast or not.
He did not want to use magic here, because he discovered that although he could use magic, he could not recover the lost mana. After pondering over this matter, Dylan soon understood that it must be because this is the world of cultivation, and in this world, only spirit energy is present, not mana.
Dylan took out a sword and focused his spirit energy on it, causing a faint light to envelop the surface of the sword. "Stupid wolf, watch this sword!"
The Gale Wolf was very fast, thus it easily dodged Dylan's attacks. However, Dylan's attack infuriated it. It immediately pounced over in order to kill Dylan.
However, Dylan's goal was not to fight it head-on. He immediately retracted his attack, turned around, and ran out of the area.
The Gale Wolf was even more furious now. Was Dylan messing with it? It opened its claws and chased after him like a gale. It was extremely fast to begin with, so Dylan could only walk around and borrow the trees in the forest to move left and right. He would use this to restrain the other party. But even Dylan himself had no direction to go.
The Gale Wolf was in hot pursuit. The man in the front had completely angered it. Its cold fangs were glinting in the air.
As Dylan kept dodging the attack and continued to move forward, something unexpected happened a moment later. Unknowingly, a vast expanse of green grass had appeared in front of him. However, the forest he relied on to restrain the Gale Wolf was gone.
"Dammit, isn't this too unlucky?"
Dylan cursed in his heart. He knew that he wouldn't be able to run away from the Gale Wolf, but there was nothing he could do. The path of retreat had already been sealed off. There was no way back at all.
"Wuuuuu!"
As the Gale Wolf ran, it let out cries of victory!
The distance between it and Dylan was quickly closing.
"Let's go all out!" Dylan gritted his teeth as he made up his mind. He then fell forward, as if he accidentally fell to the ground.
At the same time, when Gale Wolf saw Dylan falling to the ground, a joyed expression appeared on its face. It used a bit of force to retreat slightly before jumping forward. Drawing a beautiful arc in the air, it opened its claws and fangs and pounced toward Dylan. If it was a normal person, he would have definitely died at this moment.
But at this time, Dylan suddenly turned around and faced the Gale Wolf that was pouncing towards him. In his hand, a sword suddenly appeared.
"Hiss!"
The sharp sword edge slashed across the Gale Wolf's belly, causing a thin red line to slowly appear. The internal organs of the Gale Wolf were all exposed to Dylan who was below it, as blood rained down his body.
"Aooo!"
Gale wolf let out a miserable cry as it fell to the ground. It was affected by inertia, causing its wounds to become even more severe. Blood and intestines also spilled out from their wounds.
Dylan panted heavily, secretly glad that he made the right bet. This demonic beast was, after all, just a beast. Even though it possessed all of its strength, its intelligence was extremely low.
"Wuuuuu!"
The Gale Wolf licked the wound on its stomach, looked at Dylan fearfully, then dragged its injured body and ran.
"Hey, didn't you feel great chasing me just now? Why are you running away?"
Dylan scolded in annoyance and then chased after it. That sword strike did not manage to injure the wolf's vitals although it did crack open the wolf's lower belly.
However, in this situation, it would lose too much blood and die soon after. However, Dylan could not wait for long, he wanted to kill it immediately and obtain its strength so that he could break through on the spot and reach the peak of the Bone Refinement Stage or might even step into Qi Transformation Stage.
The closer Dylan chased, the faster the Gale Wolf ran. The wound on his stomach became even more severe, and his intestines began to drag on the ground. It was still limping.
As his previous consumption was too great, Dylan was actually unable to keep up. However, he knew the Gale Wolf could not run far.
Just as Dylan had expected, the Gale Wolf fell down unwillingly after a short while, leaving a long trail of blood behind it.
At the same time, System's notification sounded in his mind.
[Congratulations to the host for killing a Level 3 demonic beast, Gale Wolf!]
[The Host has hunted 50% of Gale Wolf's cultivation!]
[The Host has hunted a Level 3 beast core!]
The reward was not much, but it was still satisfying.
Dylan thought, since the Gale Wolf was a Level 3 demonic beast, its 50% strength should at least bring him to the Ninth Layer of Bone Refinement Stage.
As expected, he felt a sudden rise in his cultivation. He could feel his bones becoming stronger and tougher.
After a moment, Dylan let out a satisfying smile on his face. He has reached the Ninth Layer of the Bone Refinement Stage.
Now, just a small step more and he could become a Qi Transformation Stage martial warrior.
After that, he kept the beast core and suddenly turned around to leave, only to see a relatively obscure cave in front of him.
Dylan frowned and thought: 'Could it be a cave inhabited by a demonic beast?'
Looking back at the dead Gale Wolf, he came up with a vague answer.
Could this cave be the Gale Wolf's cave?
Dylan didn't have the intention to explore the wolf's lair, it was just that he decided to rest at this place first before continuing his hunt.
He carefully walked towards the cave.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, a fishy smell assaulted him.
Dylan frowned and cautiously moved forward.
After about ten meters, a simple cave appeared in his line of sight. The temperature in the cave was rather low, and on the ground, there were a few beast bones that had been gnawed clean.
What surprised Dylan was that the vines that were climbing up the walls of the cave were still there. On a vine, a red fruit attracted his attention.
"This is?" Dylan was startled, then slowly walked towards the vine. The red fruit was as big as an infant's fist and sparkling. Dylan could clearly feel a trace of spirit energy being emitted from the fruit.
"Crimson Spirit Fruit?" The three words suddenly popped into Dylan's mind.
He vaguely remembered hearing others talk about a precious Crimson Spirit Fruit in the back mountain. This kind of fruit was extremely hard to find, and it was guarded by powerful demonic beasts. Furthermore, the fruit takes about two to three years to ripen.
"Is it really a Crimson Spirit Fruit?"
Dylan swallowed his saliva, he slowly extended his hand towards the Crimson Spirit Fruit and, Then he gently picked it up.
A light and elegant fragrance pervaded out, and Dylan suddenly felt his mind shake and his thoughts becoming extremely clear.
Taking a deep breath, Dylan put the Crimson Spirit Fruit into his mouth. Gently biting on it, the sweet juice reverberated in his mouth and a sweet fragrance lingered on his lips.
Immediately after, the spirit energy contained within the Crimson Spirit Fruit began to flow into Dylan's limbs and bones, his entire body was flowing with a dense gold light.
Dylan immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, channeling his spirit energy, guiding the fruit's energy to flow through his body, to be absorbed and refined.
After approximately three hours, Dylan slowly woke up from his cultivation. His clear eyes were filled with unconcealable joy."Qi Transformation Stage, First Layer!"A single Crimson Spirit Fruit allowed his strength to surpass another level in such a short amount of time. Furthermore, Dylan could clearly feel that his body still had a large amount of remaining spirit energy that he had yet to absorb."I only absorbed half of the energy obtained from the Crimson Spirit Fruit, and it already had this effect. I wonder if I can break through again if I completely absorb it?" Dylan gently murmured and focused on refining the energy once again.And very soon, he broke through again. This time, it only took him about an hour to break through and raise his cultivation to the Second Layer of the Qi Transformation Stage.Dylan did not stay any longer there after that, as he got up and left the cave. The corpse of the Gale Wolf was still there. Before long, it would be eaten by other wild beas
Dylan was shocked, not only because his mission was to kill the Demon King Bali, but it is also because of the "status" he read about Bali.It turned out Bali is actually a Devil King.Although Dylan has no idea what level of strength one should have to be able to obtain the title of a "King".According to the status, there once appeared a Human King in this world that destroyed Devil King Bali's plan.From this, it could be seen that the "King" title is only given to those who have a certain level of strength, and it is not about the King of a country or a kingdom!No... Wait a moment.The status clearly said that upon reaching the Heavenly Completion Stage, Bali was given the title of Devil King. It means a Heavenly Completion Stage martial warrior or demon could obtain the title of "King".But Heavenly Completion Stage is the last stage of cultivation as far as Dylan knows.The cultivation stages are like this: Body Tempering Stage, Bone Refinement Stage, Qi Transformation Stage,
Dylan was surprised when he heard Henry's words. His gaze also subconsciously fell on Henry's eyes as he observed them for the first time.Only now did he notice that there seemed to be a strange red pattern in Henry's pair of black pupils. Those eyes were really special.Dylan wanted to ask something about his eyes, but he did not ask. Asking anything about Henry's eyes would be crossing the limit since both of them were still just strangers.But, Dylan no longer hesitated. He agreed and spoke: "Ok, I'll go to the Red Leaf Country with you!""Hahaha, very good!" Henry laughed and suddenly disappeared. The next moment, he appeared beside Dylan and patted his shoulder, startling Dylan. But Henry ignored this and spoke: "I promise, you will definitely not regret it.""How long will it take you to say goodbye to your family and friends? I'll wait for you here!"Dylan sighed. He suddenly remembered about his father who disappeared for no reason three years ago.Then he shook his head and
Henry nodded." It seems that you have figured out the crux of the problem. As you said, the most dangerous thing in the wilderness is a person. So, in the Wilderness, the first safety principle is not to trust anyone easily. Even if your best friend is the one who entered the Wilderness with you, or even even a family member, they could be the ones to kill you.""Such a thing is happening every day in the Wilderness. I've been to the Wilderness a few times, and I've encountered many similar situations. Some people are really willing to do anything for the sake of benefits."If it was Dylan in the past, perhaps he wouldn't understand this situation. However, after his father's disappearance and experiencing the pain of being bullied by his once friends, at the same time, what he had done to Lucas in the forest, Dylan finally realized that he should stay cautious around everyone and not trust others easily."Perhaps, you don't need to trust even me too much." Henry suddenly said.Dylan
The two of them continued forward. Along the way, they encountered many Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 Demonic Beasts. These Demonic Beast were naturally all used by Dylan to practice. Such a dense battle made Dylan have no choice but to deal with all sorts of situations. His strength had obviously improved. Henry taught him a Sword Technique along the way, and for some reason, Dylan comprehended the Sword Intent in the next two days. All it took him was only two days to comprehend the Sword Intent that shocked Henry. Anyway, another few days of battle caused Dylan's sword technique to become even purer and sharp. His sword technique had completely surpassed the perfect level. "Bang!" With a low sound, a demonic beast fell to the ground and died under Dylan's sword. "This is the twentieth demonic beast I killed today. Such a battle is really satisfying. No wonder martial warriors like to enter the Wilderness to temper themselves. No matter how dangerous this place is, this place s
"Come!"Dylan shouted and stomped hard on the ground. He charged towards the Level 4 Blade-toothed Wolf. The Level 4 Demonic Beast had some intelligence. It could feel Dylan's fighting spirit. It let out a thunderous roar toward Dylan and charged at him with incredible speed. Its four hooves were strong and strong, and the fiery red fur on its body was very tough.The Blade-toothed Wolf's speed was too fast. Its two sharp fangs were like blades as it stabbed toward Dylan. As long as he was stabbed by this blade tooth, he would definitely die on the spot.Facing the incomparably ferocious Blade-toothed Wolf, Dylan's nerves couldn't help but tense up. His pupils dilated slightly as he stared fixedly at the Blade-toothed Wolf. All the energy in his body was mobilized. He tried his best to dodge the attack of the Blade-toothed Wolf.Dylan did not dare to get too close to it. Otherwise, he might be injured by this demonic beast. But if he didn't get close to it, Dylan's sword also wouldn't
"This is a Level 4 Weapon!" Dylan was slightly stunned.Henry said, "A good weapon will help you get better, especially when it comes to dealing with the Demonic Beasts. However, I feel that your sword is a little special.""Special?" Dylan frowned slightly. In fact, he also felt that it was a little special. Because during the last battle, he clearly felt a strange force surge out from his sword.However, this sword was given to him by his father on his birthday. As far as he had observed, this sword was just an ordinary sword.But hearing what Henry said, he carefully studied it but couldn't find anything special about it.This sword had followed him for so many years, it was only the time when he was fighting the demonic beast that it felt a bit strange."Maybe, but I don't know either. This sword was given to me by my father. I'll accept your sword first. I'll return the favor that I owe you in the future." Dylan said.Henry smiled. "I was just joking with you. Don't take it serio
When Marcus heard Dylan's voice, he stopped and looked coldly at Dylan. Even Henry looked at Dylan with some doubt. The matter had already been resolved. What was he trying to do?"What?" Marcus coldly asked Dylan."You want to kill me just because I'm weaker than you and retorted you, right?" Dylan asked."So you know that!" Marcus sneered and spoke."After two months, I will use my strength to prove to you how foolish your actions of today are." Dylan still had a calm expression on his face as he spoke. His intention was clear. He declared that he will fight Marcus two months later and show him how foolish he was to bully him today!Henry was stunned for a moment, then he immediately felt relieved. He even felt like admiring Dylan now.If it was him, he would probably swallow his anger and admit defeat. However, Dylan was so confident that he could say it out loud.Did he want to defeat Marcus in just two months?This sounded like something impossible.Anyone who heard it would thin
The little quiet village was thrown into chaos because of the arrival of Demon Bali. Waves of mournful sounds could be heard, along with miserable cries."Who are you? Why do you want to kill us?" A middle-aged frightened woman, holding a three-year-old child in her arms, kept backing away and asked."Humph!" Demon Bali sneered and the light of the sword suddenly flashed in his hand.Both of them fell to the ground, bleeding profusely. They could not be more dead."I beg you, don't kill us!""Help!""Demon, you are a demon!"Demon Bali was very fast. Without wasting any time speaking, he started a massacre as soon as he entered the village. Before long, more than ten people had been killed. Screams, cries for help, and curses sounded incessant, and the villagers were in fear and despair.This was a tragic scene. Demon Bali raised a blade toward these ordinary people like a butcher. Blood stained this remote village, and the corpses of the villagers were everywhere."No!"A young woman
Dylan's stomach rumbled. He impatiently took a bite and said as he ate, "As expected of the fish-type Demonic Beast. Even if it doesn't have any seasoning, it still has a delicious taste. It's not something that the meat of ordinary demonic beasts can compare with."Immediately, a surge of vast energy burst inside his body, circulating in an orderly manner, guided by the mysterious energy, strengthening his physique.This process continued until Dylan ate the entire fish."My physical strength has increased again, I'm afraid, even without using any kind of skill, martial arts, or magic, I could fight on equal footing against a Martial King," Dylan muttered in a low voice and nodded his head in satisfaction.After eating, Dylan sat cross-legged and began digesting and cultivating at the same time......Two days later, Dylan entered a town that appeared in his line of sight. Dylan immediately understood that this town must be a small part of Blue Leaf Country. Since the town was here,
Dylan spent two months hunting down the demonic beasts and obtaining the hunting rewards from the system. But he did not immediately use them. Instead, he chose to store the cultivation years. Now, it has already been two months since he came out of the East Cloud Ancient Land, and adding to the two months he spent inside the East Cloud Ancient Land, it has already been four months.The ancient ruin Henry talked about should have opened and closed by now. Because Henry was inside the East Cloud Ancient Land, and after entering there, he told Dylan that it is no longer for him to enter the Ancient Ruin, Dylan did not feel any need to hurry to go to the Blue Leaf Country. Instead, he wanted to stay here and hunt so that he could increase his own strength.Now that there were only two months left, Dylan finally planned to leave the wilderness and enter the Blue Leaf Country.Since he was already very near the Blue Leaf Country, the desolate wilderness started slowly disappearing and ve
"This... Kai, it's freezing. I think we should go early..." Rai was eating his food absentmindedly. After a moment of hesitation, he finally said."What? Are you afraid that someone will try to rob you of the Snow Spirit Fruit? Relax! This place is very remote and even Demonic Beasts may not be able to find it. Otherwise, that Snow Spirit Fruit wouldn't have been taken over by a Level Seven Demonic Beast."Grabbing a handful of clean snow from the ground and stuffing it into his mouth, the bone-penetrating coldness caused Kai to uncontrollably shiver."You have to be careful in everything. This is after all a Snow Spirit Fruit, so you should be more careful. What if the Ice Bear suddenly woke up and ate the Snow Spirit Fruit?" Rai said worriedly."That's unlikely." Kai hesitated.Although the probability of this happening was very low, it was still possible."Alright, then let's go!"Just to be safe, Kai did not hesitate and decided to rush there. This made Rai heave a sigh of relief.
One by one, everyone started entering the vortex formed by Aurora. After they enter the vortex, they disappeared somewhere. "Let's go!" Henry looked at the vortex with a serious expression on his face and said in a low voice. Dylan nodded and then both of them also entered the vortex. Before he entered, he heard Aurora's voice in his mind: "The danger inside is far more terrifying than what you encountered here. Try your best to survive and look for a green door with the carvings of an Azure Dragon. This door will lead you directly into the West Cloud Ancient Land from East Cloud Ancient Land. There, you need to obtain the second fragment of my crystalized soul. You already have one in your possession currently." "As long as you could gather all four, I can return once again. Now, off you go!" Dylan stopped for a moment but he was sucked inside the vortex by the powerful force of attraction. The next moment, when everything became clear in front of Dylan, he found himself standi
_Shenus Family, Main Hall_"What did you say?"From the main seat, the head of the Shenus Family, a powerful expert who has surpassed the Heavenly Completion Stage stood up and erupted with a terrifying aura that made the Martial Emperor Stage guard tremble in fear.But still, he spoke in a trembling voice: "Family head, what I said is true. If you don't believe me, you could send someone to investigate!"The Family Head shook his head and revealed a fierce light in his eyes. He spoke in a low voice: "Bastard, who could be so daring to invade the dungeon of my Shenus Family? Does the prestige of my family has fallen so low that just anybody could come and go into our family as they please?"Then he raised his head and looked at the Third Elder, saying: "Third Elder, take a few men with you and go to the dungeon and investigate. Also, please check if Golden Bowl is still there or not!""Yes, Family Head!" The Third Elder nodded his head and immediately executed the Family Head's order
If Dylan wanted to obtain the Red Crystal, he had to first think of ways to enter the Shenus Family. As for looking for the Red Crystal, he was not worried about it at all. It is because the map where Red Crystal was located was already imprinted in his mind.All he has to do is to enter the Shenus Family and he could follow the route described on the map to obtain the Red Crystal.He just could not understand why he has to go through such a thing in order to get hold of the Red Crystal.As Dylan was lurking around the Shenus Family, he suddenly saw a carriage going out of the family, followed by a lot of martial warriors.At the same time, he heard them talking about the Young Master of the Shenus Family playing with a beautiful prostitute inside the carriage.An idea suddenly popped up in his mind and he waited two hours after the carriage disappeared before going to the front gate of the Shenus Family where he was stopped by two guards.Dylan told them that he was sent by the "Youn
Stone City, this was the name of the city recommended by Lucy.Dylan intended to go there but when he was on his way to the city, he suddenly found that he could no longer move forward. There seemed to be an invisible barrier in front of him, blocking his way ahead.Dylan frowned, for he could not understand how could an invisible barrier exist here, but he could not do anything.While Dylan was still confused, the ground trembled and a pointy boulder grew out from the ground right in front of Dylan. This boulder was completely black, to the extent that Dylan could swear he had never seen anything more darker than the boulder.Surprisingly, above the pointy boulder was a jade slip floating.Dylan frowned and extended his hand to touch the jade slip when the Jade Slip suddenly shattered into pieces, and the next instant, a lot of information appeared in Dylan's mind. At the same time, the barrier blocking his path also disappeared.Dylan took a deep breath and muttered: "Red Crystal?"
"Level 10 demonic beasts are not rare to be reported, they are just like other demonic beasts. Not to mention the Level 10 demonic beast, even if it was a Mystic-ranked Demonic Beast, we would not have reported about its appearance. There are countless stronger demonic beasts out there. As long as you are strong, you will definitely encounter them in the future.""On the other hand, Origin Crystals are extremely rare. These are crystals born from traces of the world's origin itself. These are treasures that are needed to be reported if our own strength is not enough to obtain them!"While Rob and Junaid stepped to mock Dylan's lack of knowledge, Lucy explained to Dylan. She guessed that Dylan knew nothing maybe because he came from a desolate border of the Blue Cloud Region. And since he did save her life at a critical moment, letting him know a few things that might help him survive here should not be a problem.Dylan now understood that his guess might really be true after hearing w
