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.
As Peter and Mason progressed quickly, Kieran was thrilled to see the progress. In a short period, each of them managed to double their scores.Mason ate all the demonic beasts' bodies. Meanwhile, Peter used two high-level immortal cultivation pills to increase his strength rapidly.Due to the many experience points gained after killing the demonic Beast, Kieran managed to break through four times.As Kieran's cultivation realm expanded, he needed more experience points to increase his strength.However, Kieran did not have to worry about the many experiences once he arrived in Lunaria. Millions of demonic beasts were there, and their strength was definitely greater than he had experienced before.One thing Kieran was facing right now. He could not cross the sea separating Lunaria from Mali with his current strength. Without an artefact that could protect him, even cultivators in the Emperor's territory would think twice about crossing that sea.Keiran had considered using the Celesti
After travelling for four days to one of the cities in the Kusuma Empire, Kieran could feel the presence of a group of people coming closer. He was less than forty kilometres from Babylon, the largest city after the Kusuma Empire's Capital. Kieran continued to ride Mason but suddenly stopped and jumped off the Black Panther's back three metres high.Kieran felt some people approaching him and asked, "Mason, can you reduce your body size?"Mason responded, "My Lord, I can reduce my body size to the size of a normal cat. No one can sense my power if I change form."Mason dispelled his power aura and turned himself into a cat. Kieran immediately hugged Mason's small body and left with Peter. Five cultivators appeared from behind and passed them quickly.Before long, more and more cultivators were chasing after them with the same goal: Babylon. The Kusuma Empire's annual competition was held there, and this year, representatives from the Skeleton Graveyard Group attended.When they arrive
Kieran descended to the inn's first floor, with Peter trailing behind him and Mason in his arms. He sat at one of the seats in the ballroom area, which used to be a public restaurant.The waiter who had served Kieran yesterday suddenly came over to him. The sailor asked politely, "Sorry to interrupt your time, what would you like to enjoy in this place?"Not long after, Kieran nodded, "Serve the best food for the three of us."When Kieran glanced at Mason, the waiter understood and would immediately prepare three meals for three people, even though Mason was not a human. The waiter bowed his head and quickly headed to the kitchen."My Lord, what are we going to do after this? Are we going to go straight to the competition registration?" asked Peter."I want to explore the city to get to know the area better. Then we'll go to the competition arena," Kieran replied as he stroked Mason's soft fur.Peter could only nod in agreement at what Kieran wanted and would continue to follow what t
After travelling around Babylon, Kieran and Peter went to the competition registration area in the town square. They registered as participants while Mason comfortably slept in his Lord's carrier, making him look like a lazy, spoilt animal.It took some time to register as a participant and get a number. All cultivators under 50 could enter the competition, regardless of their strength domain.After getting the participants' numbers, Kieran returned to the inn. He wanted to boost his strength a little before the start of the Empire competition the next day.***Morning, Rosegold Residency.Kieran opened his eyes after spending most of the time increasing his strength."Spending ten high-level immortal cultivation pills only makes me go up one level," he said disappointedly."My Lord, it's about time we went to the competition," Peter's voice came from outside his room.Kieran asked Peter to wait while he first wanted to clean h
The restaurant patrons who saw the scene before them disbelieved what they had just seen.[Master, that woman has an Immortal Crystal body type that only Immortals have. Her Immortal Crystal body is at the golden level, the highest of the five levels of the Immortal Crystal body type. This woman's future is very bright; I hope the Lord will establish a good relationship with her."]Knowing the veiled woman's privilege made Kieran's lips curve into a smile. However, he did not know what rapport to build with that woman."Damn it! Why didn't I try to establish a good relationship with a woman back on Earth and learn how to behave towards her," he lamented."You dare attack our friend! Damn woman, you'll pay dearly for her life," threatened one of the man's friends who had become a corpse, and instantly he darted forward to attack the woman who remained calmly standing in place.Seeing someone attacking her, the woman only quickly moved the sword in h
Knowing that two young men easily received offers to become Skeleton Graveyard Group disciples after completing their first battle made the competition participants who had also completed their first battle feel furious at the decision."Master, how is it that those who have just finished one battle just like us, you immediately make an offer to become a sect disciple?" asked one of the competition participants."Because they deserve it," said Andrew."I see that they are no different from us. If you'd like, tell us where you see their worthiness?" the same person asked.Kieran suddenly raised his hand, making Andrew pause, not answering the question directed at him. He turned his attention to the young man in the arena and waited to see what he would do."You feel that there is no difference between us; how about you go up to the top of the arena to fight with me and prove the truth of what you feel," Kieran said calmly, with a sharp look at the f
After the departure of the Skeleton Graveyard Group, two elders, Kieran, Helena, and Peter, left the Babylon square amidst thousands of pairs of eyes that continued to watch their every move. The three of them decided to go to the city park to relax, waiting for the night to come. *** Kusuma Imperial Palace. Charles Kusuma gathered the Generals and leaders of the Empire's elite troops in the Imperial hall. He gathered them to discuss the Wijaya Empire, which had sent hundreds of thousands of soldiers to besiege the Kusuma Empire's border near Babylon. He ordered three generals with fifty thousand soldiers each to immediately go to the border region. In addition to them, Charles also sent two thousand elite troops to help secure the border region. Thousands of free cultivators had also been hired to help his Imperial soldiers. Charles had sent a message to Aaron to lead the soldiers alerted at the border. However, news that Aaron was injured and unlikely to recover shortly made hi
At the Kusuma Empire's border fortress, Kieran and his hundred shadow warriors attacked the Wijaya Empire soldiers approaching the fortress. They continued to kill, even though their bodies were bathed in blood.Not so long ago, the frontline soldiers of the Wijaya Empire who rode demon beasts were wiped out.[Congratulations, you have killed one hundred and fifty level 3 Ultimate Power realm demonic beasts.
