While the Young Dragon's strength had evolved to an early stage of level five, equivalent to a grandmaster martial artist, this Mighty Bear was also a level five mythical beast. Moreover, its strength had peaked at level five, no less menacing than the White Tiger Benjamin had previously encountered.Thus, after receiving a blow from the bear, the Young Dragon was sent flying, crashing heavily into an ancient tree, causing leaves and branches to tremble violently."Damn it, how did this monster appear here?!"Seeing the Young Dragon being struck, panic surged in Benjamin's heart. However, he couldn't afford to be distracted, for his own opponent was formidable as well.Whoosh!Suddenly, an icy wind swept past, making Benjamin's entire being freeze in place. Following it was a gust of fetid air that approached rapidly from behind, its putridness almost making Benjamin recoil in disgust.Crash!The Wolf King, with astonishing swiftness, lunged, pinning Benjamin down with its massive cla
Meanwhile, the sinister mist, after penetrating his core, hurtled towards Benjamin's brain. Upon reaching its vicinity, its pace slackened. From the mist emerged creatures of the most peculiar form. Their size, much smaller than a strand of hair, rendered them nearly invisible to the naked eye.Yet, upon seeing Benjamin's brain, these entities, seemingly having found a delectable feast, became exceedingly agitated and hastened towards it.Boom!However, just as they made contact with Benjamin's brain, a powerful wave of spiritual energy shielded it, casting out more than half of the invaders.But the remaining entities appeared undeterred, rather they became even more frenzied, hurtling towards the protective barrier around Benjamin's brain.Suddenly, two beams of light manifested, revealing two figures within them. One was Benjamin, and the other was none other than the soul of the Holy Maiden.These manifestations were but the concentration of their spiritual energies. Benjamin had
Whether or not they comprehended his words was uncertain, but they persisted, pulling him towards some undisclosed location. After a moment's hesitation, with Young Naive in his arms and leaving Alan to guard Young Dragon, he followed the two creatures as they led him swiftly into the dense forest.Guided by the two small beings, it wasn’t long before Benjamin emerged from the woods to confront a towering cliffside. He couldn’t fathom why they had brought him here, but upon noticing several luminescent spots high on the cliff, astonishment lit his eyes.The smallest of the Fiery Foxes suddenly leaped up the cliff, pivoting to face Benjamin with a loud chirp.“Chirp... Chirp!”From its gesture, Benjamin quickly deduced that it beckoned him to follow.After a moment’s contemplation and sensing no imminent danger, he cautiously ascended the cliff with Young Naive cradled in his arms. Although the cliff was rather high, its gradient wasn't particularly steep. In just a few minutes, Benjam
"Roar!"Excitedly, Young Dragon gazed at Benjamin with deep reverence. It never imagined that just one herb from its master could have such miraculous effects.But as it attempted to draw closer for an affectionate gesture, Benjamin hastily stopped it."Stay back; I need to tend to my wounds."Benjamin had sustained various injuries, but in his quest to save Young Naive, he had prioritized seeking the healing herb.Now, with Young Naive awakened and Young Dragon's injuries mostly healed, Benjamin intended to consume a stalk of Luminous Grass himself.However, halfway through the action, he hesitated. His injuries, compared to Young Dragon and Young Naive, were relatively minor. To use such a potent healing herb for himself felt somewhat wasteful.After some thought, he returned the herb to his storage ring. Instead, he plucked a single leaf from it, chewing it gently.Immediately, a surge of pure energy flowed through him, rejuvenating his body, healing his wounds, and replenishing hi
Initially, these tribes were feeble and posed no threat to the rule of other powerful creatures.However, after several hundred thousand more years, the tribes multiplied, and the power of each tribe grew increasingly formidable. Even beings such as the Dragon's Physical Form or Ancient Phoenix began to harbor apprehensions.Because of this, a group of magical beasts, led by the four great beasts, decided to wage war against the Celestial Clan.This grand battle raged on for eight hundred years, with countless magical beasts slain. Even the four great beasts were annihilated by the Celestial Clan's four divine generals. In the end, the magical beast army was utterly defeated, and the Celestial Clan once again demonstrated its divine might, with no creature daring to offend them.Even the Dragon's Physical Form and the Ancient Phoenix began to submit, bowing to the Celestial Clan.It can be said that, after the four great beasts were exterminated, the Ancient Distant era entered a new
As these words reached Benjamin's ears, his brows furrowed in contemplation. Still, he held his silence, attentively listening to Venn's continued tale."Just over a fortnight ago, we chanced upon you and the young lady of the Broly lineage aboard a wooden vessel. You, Captain, were enveloped in a deep slumber, and the maiden bore many a wound. Initially, our men wished to bring you to our camp for healing. However, orders from the high command summoned you for inspection and scrutiny. This directive, impossible to refuse, labeled you as delusional, potentially harmful to those around. Thus, they've isolated you here, not in a mere infirmary, but a secretive research institution established some years prior, rumored to be Elmer's own brainchild. As of now, only Venn, Noam, and I have permission to communicate with you. So, should you wish to venture beyond these walls, I must, by duty, hinder your path."Reaching this point, Venn's voice wavered, his throat dry. Yet his gaze revealed
"Sir, we have arrived!"The sudden sound of the driver's voice brought Benjamin back to the present, his eyes taking in his surroundings.The landscape before Benjamin was a serene rural area. Around him were a few wooden houses, each enclosed by fences of green trees, giving off a feeling of simplicity and intimacy.It had been a long time since Benjamin had felt such peaceful ambiance. Stepping out of the car, he took a deep breath of the clean, cool air. Then his eyes settled on a nearby wooden house.In front of the house lay a small garden, flanked by plots of verdant vegetables. Particularly striking was a trellis heavy with ripe melons, giving Benjamin a sense of returning to the countryside of the 1980s.However, his attention quickly focused on a figure standing in the garden—an old man in his late seventies or eighties. Though slightly frail, his body was robust and vigorous.To any onlooker, he might appear as an ordinary old farmer, but Benjamin knew well that this was non
Yet, resentment towards the elder never burgeoned within Benjamin. Instead, his eyes glittered with a trace of curiosity as he beheld the elder, questioning: "Pray tell, to whom shall I deliver this letter?""Miranda Byner!"The elder's three uttered words resonated like a seismic jolt, leaving Benjamin utterly staggered."Byner... Miranda Byner?!"A look of incredulity washed over Benjamin's features as he beheld the figure standing before him."Yes, that's her! Moreover, she's my daughter!"Once more, Benjamin felt as though a bolt of lightning had fiercely struck his very core.To the uninformed, the name Miranda Byner might not ring a bell. But Benjamin knew all too well—she was one of the three deputy leaders of the Moonlight Religious Sect, an infamous cult with vast influence across Southeast Asia. Rumored to be the consort of the current sect leader, she had reportedly reached the pinnacle of her powers two decades ago. As for her present capabilities, Benjamin was unsure. Yet
