The path through the wilderness was treacherous, yet Wu Tian and Yueyin had chosen it deliberately. The main roads were no longer safe—too many eyes, too many shadows loyal to Mao Xiang’s Darkness Cultivators. Every step along the beaten track risked an ambush, a confrontation with mercenaries who would gladly trade Wu Tian’s life for prestige.

The duel with Zhou Chen had taught Wu Tian a bitter truth: the world was brimming with cultivators far stronger than himself, warriors whose blades an

  • 14. Spirit Beast Unicorn

    Blaaassst! A spiral of radiant light burst from Wu Tian’s palm, streaking across the forest like a comet. The beam tore through the night, its brilliance illuminating the trees and casting long shadows across the misty ground. The air vibrated with its force, a low hum echoing through the valleys. Duuuaaarrr! The blast struck the Ghost Beast, detonating in a thunderous explosion. The ground trembled, leaves shuddered, and the scent of scorched earth filled the air. From the creature’s body erupted a dazzling glow, its shadowy form unraveling into a luminous figure. What had once been a spectral wolf now shimmered with a horn of pure white light, its body radiant and majestic. Angel’s voice trembled with awe. “The Spirit Beast Unicorn.” Wu Tian’s eyes widened, disbelief etched across his face. “What did you say, Angel? This Ghost Beast… it’s a Spirit Beast?” Angel nodded, her wings shimmering faintly. “Yes. When a Ghost Beast absorbs immense qi, it transforms. The Spirit Be

  • 13. Ghost Beast

    “Let us end this hunt for the Spirit voice carrying a weary edge as the night deepened around them. Wu Tian turned to her, his eyes shadowed with fatigue. “Angel, can the Spirit Beast truly help me overcome this exhaustion I feel now?” His voice was heavy, his body trembling from the strain of releasing Ka earlier. Angel’s wings shimmered faintly in the moonlight, her tone calm but resolute. “If you are protected by a Spirit Beast, this weakness will not plague you. The Spirit Beast’s bond shields its chosen one from the draining effects of Ka.” Unable to transform into her dragon form, Angel pressed close to Wu Tian, her palm glowing faintly as she channeled her fairy energy into him. The warmth spread through his body, mingling with the cool night air, filling him with a fragile strength. The scent of damp leaves and distant streams surrounded them, the forest alive with whispers of unseen creatures. Wu Tian’s voice rang with determination. “Then I will not stop, Angel. This

  • 12. The Dark Beast

    “Wu Tian! Watch out!” Tian Kui’s voice thundered through the forest, urgent and commanding. A shadow surged forward, swift and silent, lunging at Wu Tian while his attention was fixed on searching for the elusive Spirit Beast. Wuuusssh! The black blur cut through the air like a blade, its movement so fast it seemed to tear the fabric of the night itself. Wu Tian’s instincts flared, his body twisting sharply to evade the strike. The wind whipped against his face, carrying the acrid scent of damp soil and the faint metallic tang of danger. Tian Kui’s form trembled, his dragon essence straining to emerge. He tried to shift into his true dragon body, but nothing happened. His scales did not form, his wings did not unfurl. Angel of Death, too, attempted to transform into her white dragon form, but her body remained locked, her power suppressed. Both dragon fairies stood frozen, their strength mysteriously bound. A force greater than their will pressed down upon them, smothering t

  • 11. Mystery of the Spirit Beast

    “Ah! The meat of the Energy Beast is delicious… no wonder cultivators crave it. My body feels refreshed, stronger, Tian Kui!” Wu Tian exclaimed, his voice carrying a note of satisfaction as he wiped his mouth with the back aroma of roasted flesh lingered in the air, mingling with the earthy scent of moss and damp soil. The crackling fire cast flickering shadows across their faces, painting the night with warmth and light. Wu Tian, Tian Kui, and Angel sat together, savoring the spoils of their hunt. The forest around them hummed with nocturnal life—the chirping of crickets, the distant hoot of owls, and the rustle of unseen creatures moving through the undergrowth. The stars above shimmered like scattered diamonds, their brilliance reflected in the calm pools of water nearby. Tian Kui’s voice rumbled, deep and amused. “Two Energy Beasts would have been enough for the three of us, Wu Tian. Yet you felled five with a single strike.” His eyes glowed faintly, reflecting the firelight.

  • 10. Hunting the Energy Beasts

    “Warrior Beasts only appear three hours after the Spirit Beasts emerge. But Dark Beasts and Ghost Beasts linger near them at all times,” Angel explained, her voice carrying a solemn weight as it echoed through the shimmering forest. Wu Tian raised his brows, intrigued. “You seem to know quite a lot about Spirit Beasts, Angel.” Her wings shimmered faintly, catching the light of the sun filtering through the canopy. “I once captured a Spirit Beast,” she admitted softly, “but I released it.” Wu Tian’s curiosity sharpened, his tone probing. “Why did you let it go?” Angel’s gaze drifted away, her voice quiet. “No reason. I simply chose to release it.” Wu Tian sensed the unspoken truth behind her words, a secret she guarded closely. Yet he did not press further, unwilling to burden her with questions that might wound. “So, it won’t matter if we leave the Kun Lun Forest before the Warrior Beasts appear?” Wu Tian asked, his voice steady. Tian Kui’s massive form shifted, his scal

  • 9. The Wonders of the Kun Lun Forest

    “Are you certain you still want to hunt Spirit Beasts?” Tian Kui asked Wu Tian, his voice resonant like a drumbeat rolling across the forested mountains. Wu Tian tilted his head, curiosity flickering in his eyes. “Why not? What’s the problem?” The dragon’s gaze glowed faintly, his scales shimmering under the daylight. “Spirit Beasts only reveal themselves at night, when their bodies shine with radiant light. In the brightness of day, they remain hidden.” Wu Tian’s brows furrowed, his tone thoughtful. “So we’ll need to spend the night in the Kun Lun Forest?” “Exactly,” Tian Kui replied, his voice steady. “They appear at midnight. If the light is too strong, they vanish into the shadows.” Wu Tian’s stomach growled faintly, reminding him of his hunger. He laughed softly. “Then for now, let’s hunt Energy Beasts. We’ll need food and strength to endure the night.” The Kun Lun Forest stretched before them, lush and vibrant beneath the sun. The air was crisp, filled with the fragr
