Chapter 7

A golden eagle, who had become the new ruler of the Death Forest, flew over Kieran, Peter, and Mason while they were outside the Death Forest. Several other beasts had deliberately come outside the Death Forest to escort Mason. They saw Mason as a very responsible ruler who could protect the forest territory he owned.

Suddenly, the golden eagle swooped down and arrived near Kieran.

"I hope you'll occasionally come to visit this forest, sir," said the golden eagle, who, with the help of the two high-level immortal cultivation pills Kieran had given it, managed to reach the Emperor's territory.

Kieran nodded slowly, then responded, "I'll come to see you guys after I get what I want to get."

Upon hearing that, the golden eagle bowed its head, followed by all the beasts in the Death Forest. All the beasts respected Kieran because they could sense his bloodline.

Receiving their salute, Kieran then rode Mason and Peter out of the Death Forest.

Beyond the territory was an ordinary forest, where many animals like those on earth lived. Kieran saw a few partridges running away from the top of Mason's back. However, Peter moved much faster and easily caught two of them.

[Sir, you don't need food or drink as a cultivator. All you need is spiritual energy. If you manage to fulfil it, then you will not feel thirsty or hungry, even if you no longer eat or drink]

[System alert! A swarm of Demonic Beasts has been detected 50 kilometres west of your position.]

Kieran postponed the grilled chicken savouring event. The demonic Beast swarm was a source of double profit, and he had to kill them to get that.

"How can there be demonic beasts in this forest?" Kieran said to himself.

"Mason, head west! We'll find a training buddy," the man ordered.

[Demonic Beast meat can help Mason's power increase. It's best not to kill by destroying their bodies.]

"Besides benefiting personally, it turns out that Mason also benefits from them," Kieran said, heard only by the system.

[Demonic beasts are the same as Beasts, which cultivate cultivation techniques. The higher the cultivation realm of the demonic beasts you kill, the more benefits you can get from them."]

"What exactly do you mean by training companions, my Lord?" asked Mason, who continued to run towards the west.

Kieran smiled at Mason's question, then replied, "There's a group of demonic Beasts not far from this place, but I don't know how they appeared in that place yet."

Hearing Kieran mention demonic beasts, Mason looked even more excited. Demonic beasts were the natural enemies of Beasts, but they were another source of power for Them to increase their strength, in addition to cultivating and consuming various resources.

Peter, who didn't know why Mason looked so excited, could only tighten his grip so as not to be thrown off Mason's back.

"My Lord, why does Mason look so excited after hearing about the existence of the demonic Beast? Are they friends?" asked Peter curiously.

"They are not his friends. It could be said that they are Mason's natural enemies and a source of power that Beasts like him cannot ignore. Vice versa, the Beasts are a source of power for them," said Kieran, who managed to answer Peter's curiosity.

Peter became more excited after learning Mason's reason; he wanted to help boost his new brother's strength. He can defeat the demonic Beast, who is as strong as Mason, although he is much weaker.

Kieran wanted to try his new technique's power against the demonic Beast. The sky-level technique must not embarrass him and contract beasts in front of his subordinates. He wanted to kill some demonic beasts with his new method, although he could not kill many of them directly.

The closer to where the demonic Beast appeared, the more clearly Kieran sensed the negative aura mixed with spiritual energy. The negative aura only reduces the density of spiritual energy, so it is harmless.

[Fifteen third-level Ultimate Power realm demonic beasts and ten first-level Emperor realm demonic beasts are 500 metres away from your place. Be on the lookout for surprise attacks!"]

Kieran increased his vigilance as soon as he received a warning from the system. Although the enemy was in the forward direction, a surprise attack from an enemy whose presence was undetected was possible.

Every step the Masons took, the deeper they entered the enemy's territory, and the negative aura of the place grew denser.

"I don't see any danger from the back, front, or side angles, but perhaps..."

When Kieran looked up, a black monkey with red stripes was ready to pounce on its prey. However, Kieran saw that creature first, and Peter decapitated the prey before the monkey could pounce on it.

Other demonic beasts suddenly appeared and quickly surrounded Kieran from various directions.

Instead of being scared, Kieran, Peter, and Mason just smiled at the sight of them, which showed their identity. At the same time, they had enough trouble finding their location.

Dozens of demonic beasts attacked the prey they surrounded from various sources.

Quickly, Kieran took out a nameless silver-level weapon, the "sword of a thousand shadows", and defeated the demonic Beasts surrounding him.

Following the movements that had entered his brain, he swung the sword. Every swing of Kieran's sword towards the enemy was followed by many sword shadows attacking in the same direction. Within a few seconds, Kieran's sword swing made the battle area go silent, and the thousand-shadow sword technique attack killed the entire demon beast.

[Congratulations, you have killed fifteen level 3 Ultimate Power realm demonic beasts. Earned 16 million system points and eight hundred thousand experience points.]

[Congratulations, you have killed ten tier 1 Emperor realm demonic Beasts. Earned 12.2 million system points and six hundred and ten thousand experience points.]

[A demon beast killed by a subordinate will remain yours.]

"Just a few kills; I've already gained so much. If only there were more of them, maybe I wouldn't have to save when I want to use the point system," Kieran said in a low voice, not paying attention to Mason and Peter, who were still dumbfounded by his power.

"My Lord, you are extremely powerful. With cultivation in the Ultimate Power realm, the Emperor realm demonic Beasts are not a worthy opponent for you. It's fortunate that their bodies are still intact, so I can eat them to increase my strength," Mason said, looking at the corpses of the demonic Beasts, which whetted his appetite.

"I feel less and less needed by you," Peter complained, which was unintentionally heard in Kieran's ears.

"Who doesn't need you? I consider you a brother, so don't think about it. Absorb these pills to increase your strength!" Kieran gave Peter ten high-level immortal cultivation pills.

Not wanting to disappoint Kieran, Peter immediately put one pill into his mouth and stored the rest in his ring. With one pill at least Peter could break through to the fifth level of the Ultimate Power realm.

Seeing Mason eating the demonic beast's body and Peter absorbing the pill he was given. Kieran patiently waited for them, while keeping an eye on the surrounding area, afraid that someone would disturb the two figures he already considered as brothers.
