Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Leaving this barren area, Jun Wuxie found himself in a bit of a predicament.

The Upper Realm was different from the Lower Realm, the rules were very strong, so much so that his current realm couldn't even allow him to take the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beasts into his inner world.

If he were to take them through the vast Flowing Cloud Forest, they would inevitably be discovered, inviting trouble.

“Benefactor, how about we sign a soul contract?”

The mother beast knew what he was troubled by. This was a very realistic issue, one they all had to face.

As long as he took them, they would inevitably be seen, and they were very clear about how other humans would react upon seeing them.

At that time, not only would disaster befall them, but it would also bring disaster to their benefactor.

“No, I can’t sign a soul contract with you right now.”

“Benefactor, do you think our mother and son are too weak? We will grow, we will become stronger in the future!”

The mother beast was very grateful for his life-saving grace, and currently, only by following this benefactor could they survive.

Although signing a soul contract meant being bound by the benefactor for life, equivalent to having their life and death controlled by the benefactor, and having to absolutely obey his orders, it believed that the benefactor would treat them well.

After two encounters, it believed he was a good person.

“I don’t dislike you. Let’s talk about this after your father escapes danger. At that time, you might have different choices.”

Jun Wuxie didn't want to take advantage of others' misfortune. Besides, if he signed a soul contract with the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast mother and son now, who knew what the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King would think.

Although he really wanted to take the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beasts back to True Martial Peak, now was definitely not the best time.

“We are willing to follow you, we won’t regret it. Besides, given the current situation, taking us with you will also cause trouble.”

“Then we’ll temporarily go to an uninhabited area.”

He released his blood energy, forming a barrier, and took them towards the end of the southeastern area.

A day later, tens of thousands of miles away from that barren land, they were near the southeastern border of the forest, not far from the East Sea.

“You mother and son will temporarily hide in this area, and wait here peacefully for me and your father to arrive.”

He pointed and inscribed, one rune after another branded onto the blood energy barrier, and then their bodies quickly disappeared into the earth, sinking continuously.

After sinking for who knows how many hundreds of thousands of meters, Jun Wuxie stopped, continuing to inscribe runes, causing the earth's crust deep underground to continuously expand in all directions, forming an open area with a diameter of tens of meters.

“Benefactor, are you a Rune Master?”

As the daughter of the Beast King, the mother beast had seen quite a bit and recognized his methods, filled with shock.

From what it knew, martial arts practitioners wouldn't cultivate the Rune Dao, and those who cultivated the Rune Dao wouldn't cultivate martial arts.

Because the Rune Dao required too much energy, this one path alone required a lifetime of dedication, where would there be extra time and energy to cultivate other Daos.

“That’s right, I am a Rune Master, so you can rest assured hiding here. There are rune arrays deep in the earth to isolate you, no one will discover you.”

Jun Wuxie said, taking out the corpse of the Black Eagle, saying: “This Black Eagle is for you to eat, remember not to eat too much at once, this is a fierce bird of the Saint King realm.”

“Also, these Divine Beast essences are for you, which will help your bloodline evolve.”

He left behind a lot of Divine Beast blood, instructing them that if they cultivated here, they should try not to make too much noise, in case the noise was too loud and the rune array couldn't completely isolate them.

Returning to the surface, Jun Wuxie created a communication talisman, sending the situation at the canyon entrance deep in the Flowing Cloud Forest, as well as the conspiracy of Lieshan, Xuri, and Yanxia back to True Martial Peak.

After doing all this, he used the Minor Void Art to leave.

During his return to the depths of the Flowing Cloud Forest, the strongmen of Ningwang Mansion lurking in the forest all felt puzzled in their hearts.

They secretly talked and analyzed the situation in the past few days.

“The aura of the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast has been stable for several days in a row, what’s going on?”

“Its serious injuries are irreversible. In the past two months, its body has been deteriorating, becoming less and less able to control its energy fluctuations, and its life force is constantly weakening. All of this indicates that its injuries have been worsening.”

“That’s right, logically speaking, two months ago, its physical condition was better than it is now. At that time, it couldn't heal, and after deteriorating for so long, it shouldn't be able to stabilize its injuries, but these past few days…”

“No, this matter must be reported to Ningwang as soon as possible, it can't be delayed! If the injuries of the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast no longer continue to worsen, but gradually recover, then if we wait any longer, we will miss the opportunity!”

“Yes, let Ningwang know the situation and let Ningwang make the decision. Currently, it seems that it is best to take action as soon as possible. As long as we can get its beast core and essence, it is worth paying some price. If Ningwang can take this opportunity to break through the shackles, then our big cause will have a new sky!”

The strongmen of Ningwang Mansion lurking here secretly communicated, reached an agreement, and quickly sent a message with a spirit talisman.

…

Jun Wuxie returned to this area again, sneaking into the valley using the Minor Void Art.

“The Divine Beast essence has a good effect. It seems that not only has the life source of the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King stabilized, but it has also begun to gradually heal. However, I’m afraid this situation has already attracted the attention of those Beast Kings and lurking strongmen of Ningwang Mansion.”

Jun Wuxie realized that there wouldn't be much time left. Due to his participation, the situation of the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King had undergone a reverse change, and Ningwang Mansion would definitely make changes to their plan in a timely manner.

He saw that on the mountain peaks on both sides of the valley, those Beast Kings were no longer as calm as before, and seemed a little impatient.

Arriving at the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King's side, he saw that its body had become fuller, although it was still very thin, it was completely different from the skin-and-bones appearance of the previous days, and the life force within its body was much more vigorous.

“You’re back. How was it? Did you find this king’s daughter and grandson?”

It opened its eyes, looking more energetic, its eyes filled with hope.

“Don’t worry, I have already hidden them in a very safe place, no one or beast will find them.”

Jun Wuxie stretched out his hand, with several imprints in the palm of his hand.

The Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King looked at it, its tense expression relaxed, and it breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

“This king is relieved then. If this king can survive, I will definitely repay you.”

“Then we have to get through this crisis first. With your injuries, you won't be able to recover to a good state in a short period of time. If you heal for a few more days, can you fight?”

“Barely.”

“I also have a kind of Divine Beast blood here, which may have a better effect for you.”

Jun Wuxie took out another jar.

The blood in this jar was like magma, and the fragments of the origin in the blood would occasionally show shadows like lions, making low roars.

“This is…”

The Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King was so shocked when it saw this jar of essence that it jumped up directly from the ground.

“Divine Beast Suanni’s essence!”

The Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King’s body trembled non-stop with excitement.

The bloodline of the Divine Beast Suanni and their Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast had the same origin in an extremely distant era.

Regardless of whether it was the Suanni or their Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast, it was said that they were both branches evolved from a certain clan in a distant era.

The difference was that the Suanni clan, even after evolving into a certain branch, still maintained the strength of a Divine-level bloodline, being born that way.

But their Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast lineage, something happened in that era that caused the bloodline level of each Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast at birth to be very low, requiring constant evolution during growth.

Even if they could evolve, most of them could only evolve to the Sub-Divine Beast level, and it would be difficult to break through the bloodline level any further.

Later, their ancestors, for the sake of the inheritance of the clan, went through a long period of evolution and effort, constantly strengthening their evolutionary abilities.

Speaking of which, their evolutionary abilities were super powerful.

But this had a prerequisite, which was that the bloodline naturally evolved to the Sub-Divine Beast level. If they wanted to continue evolving, they needed to fuse other Divine Beast essences and origins to achieve it, and the Divine Beast origins that once shared the same origin with them were undoubtedly the best.

“May I ask, how can you have two different kinds of Divine Beast blood on your body?”

It was very shocked, even unbelievably so.

Regardless of whether it was the Tyrannosaurus Rex or the Suanni, they were both born as Divine Beasts.

Such races were too strong, and this human youth in front of them was only in the Saint realm, how could he obtain these, it was simply unbelievable.

Tyrannosaurus Rexes and Suannis, even in their juvenile stage, were protected by powerful Divine Beasts in their adult stage, and even in their growing stage.

“There's nothing to be surprised about. This Tyrannosaurus Rex and Suanni once relied on their realm advantage to chase and kill me, and I later killed them in retaliation.”

“What?” The Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King looked at him in horror: “You mean, you can kill Divine Beasts of a higher realm with a lower realm, how is that possible?”

“What’s impossible? Divine Beast bloodlines, although they are born as Divine Beasts, it doesn’t mean they are born as myths, it’s just that their starting point for growth is higher than yours. When I killed them, due to the special environment, they were only equivalent to the first level of the Eternal Legend realm, and at that time I was also in this realm.”

“But even in the same realm, it is not easy to kill Divine Beasts, let alone when their realm was higher than yours. Also, you are only in the Saint realm, but you are already an Eternal Legend?”

“I have my own means to kill Divine Beasts, unless their realm is too much higher than mine.” Jun Wuxie smiled faintly, “As for the Eternal Legend, that was already a matter of years ago.”

“Years ago?”

The Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King’s pupils couldn’t help but shrink.

This human youth, who is currently only in the Saint realm, what realm was he a few years ago?

He was already an Eternal Legend at that time, which was simply unbelievable, making it hard to believe!

“So, in what area is your current growth intensity?”

It couldn't help but be curious. This young human before it had given it too many shocks, subverting its understanding.

“Mythic domain, it should have been about two years ago.”

The Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast's body shook violently, and it froze on the spot, looking at him in horror, unable to say a word for a long time.

Wouldn't that mean that this young human stepped into the Mythic domain when he first entered the Saint Realm?

What an heaven-defying growth intensity!

If he continues to cultivate and grow in the future, what domain will he reach?

Unimaginable!

“It took me hundreds of years to evolve to the Sub-Divine Beast bloodline, and I only managed to raise my growth intensity to Ancient Legend. Your growth intensity is truly terrifying…”

It came back to its senses, couldn't help but exclaim, and its gaze towards Jun Wuxie changed somewhat from the past.

This young human is too extraordinary. With such an heaven-defying growth intensity, even if his other talents are not as heaven-defying, they must be very amazing.

Such a person will have a very high upper limit in the future. As long as he doesn't die, his future is limitless.

Their Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast clan has encountered this calamity, and their future situation is worrying. The significant weakening of their overall strength makes it difficult for them to find good territory. It will be extremely difficult to develop again, and there is almost no hope.

Unless they hide in a remote and barren land, never going out, but in that case, limited by the environment, evolution and growth will be very difficult, and the clan will not see a future at all.

If they choose to follow this human youth who has done them a great favor, after he rises in the future, their clan will be able to receive protection, not only able to go out, but also have a very good living environment.

“No, I am the king of a clan, how can I actively propose such a thing? I don't know if he has this intention. I'll wait and see what happens in the future. Moreover, the current crisis has not been resolved.”

In a short while, the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King thought a lot.

It opened its mouth and spat out a fist-sized rhombus crystal flowing with amber light, saying: “Benefactor, this beast core can be considered one of my rewards to you, and it should be of great help to you.”

A look of surprise appeared in Jun Wuxie's eyes.

He reached out and sucked the beast core into his hand.

This beast core was filled with pure high-level energy, the Saint Spirit Qi was extremely rich, and the energy contained inside was even more majestic and astonishing.

“What grade is this beast core?”

He couldn't see the grade of the beast core, but he knew that this beast core must have come from an ancient beast or fierce bird with a very high realm.

“This is the beast core of a Vajra Armored Python in the Half-step Overlord Saint Realm with the initial stage of the Ancient Legend. It was one of the enemies I killed in the Hengduan Mountains, and also one of the main beast kings who besieged our Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beasts this time.”

“This is a good thing, I'll accept it. Currently, I need high-level energy as a resource to improve my realm.”

Half-step Overlord Saint level!

Jun Wuxie really didn't expect that the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King had such a thing on him.

It was very strong, and in the face of the siege of the great beast kings, it was able to kill the Vajra Armored Python in the Half-step Overlord Saint Realm with the initial stage of the Ancient Legend.

From this, it can be seen that the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King's realm is at least the Great Saint Extreme Heaven Position Perfection Realm, or even the Half-step Overlord Saint Realm!

Such strength is definitely the top existence in this Qingzhou.

If he can keep it by his side and bring it back to True Martial Peak, coupled with the sword formation of the sect, then he will have the confidence to fight against King Ning.

Because King Ning will not choose to come hard, unless he unifies Dagan and suffers relatively few casualties in the process of the throne change, and then attacks Qingyun at all costs, otherwise there is no need to be afraid at all.

“Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King, hurry up and use the Suan猊 blood essence to recover. In these two days, your aura has become stable, and those beast kings have begun to become anxious, and the experts from the Ning Prince's Mansion must have discovered it as well.”

“The beast kings are easy to say, they are not at the Great Saint Realm, no matter how anxious they are, they should not launch an attack. But the experts from the Ning Prince's Mansion will definitely report the news to King Ning. King Ning is probably determined to get your beast core and blood essence. Once he receives the news, he will launch an attack soon.”

“Okay! I think that Ning Prince's Mansion should be the benefactor's enemy. This time, I will try my best to kill some experts from the Ning Prince's Mansion to weaken their strength. It won't be so easy to get my beast core!”

“Heal your wounds, I also have to seize the time to cultivate and strive to improve my realm before they attack.”

After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, mysterious runes lit up on his body, and his body遁into the ground, causing the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King to be dumbfounded.

“This is the talisman technique of a talisman master!”

It was completely stunned.

His martial arts cultivation was already so terrifying, but he was also proficient in the art of talismans. Cultivating both martial arts and talismans, how could there be such a person in the world?

Using one heart for two purposes, not only did it not lead to the embarrassing situation of both being half-baked, but it also had amazing achievements, which was too contrary to common sense.

“Limitless future, limitless future!”

The Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King came back to his senses, thinking that he had met such a human youth in a desperate situation.

Perhaps this is the destiny in the dark. If it were someone else, it would be impossible to give it hope, unless a divine beast in the Overlord Saint Realm was willing to use its own blood essence to help him heal his wounds.

But that is obviously impossible.
