I had been in the Wildlands for several months and had killed many ferocious beasts. Fortunately, they weren't very strong, so I could defeat them in a few moves.
With what I had seen and heard in the past few months, I gradually had some ideas.
Although I had often heard the sacrificial evil spirit mention the tragedy of the ancient war, I had been too shocked by the scene to notice the hidden problems.
It was obvious that the war was mainly for the control of this world. Since ancient times, this had always happened when the dynasties changed. It was hard to tell who was right and who was wrong.
It was just that the strength of the two sides wasn't balanced, but in the end, the inferior human race had won.
The problems within were truly worth pondering.
I was sitting in the house and talking with my clansmen. Since I had helped them kill a ferocious beast a few days ago, they had invited me to stay in the village.
While we were talking, a scream came from outside.
I had heard too many screams in the Wildlands in the past few months.
I hurriedly stood up and rushed out.
I saw a tiger with black wings on the ground, gnawing on a corpse.
The head of the corpse had been bitten to pieces, and blood was gushing out.
The people in the surroundings had already hidden far away and didn't dare to look at it.
The tiger's body was emitting a black mist. It seemed to be much stronger than the ferocious beasts I had killed earlier.
It seemed to have sensed my gaze and raised its head to look at me.
Its dark green eyes were filled with murderous intent.
I was startled. This thing's appearance and posture were exactly the same as the Qiong Qi that was recorded in the ancient books.
Qiong Qi and the Suan Ni that I had killed earlier were the four great ancient ferocious beasts.
However, this Qiong Qi was much stronger than the Suan Ni.
It was said that Qiong Qi looked like a tiger with hedgehog fur and wings. It was called the Qiong Qi Beast.
Its appearance was extremely ugly, and it chased after demons and evils. Hence, it was called the Divine Dog.
This Qiong Qi didn't look easy to deal with.
At this moment, it was walking towards me. I didn't dare to be careless and quickly took out the Armor Removing Sword. Then, I mobilized my Dao energy and prepared to face the enemy.
When it was around three meters away from me, it stopped and looked at me with interest. The murderous intent in its eyes had dissipated a lot.
This puzzled me. I stopped what I was doing and stared at it.
Unexpectedly, it suddenly opened its big mouth and roared at me.
His voice was like the roar of a tiger or a dragon. It was deafening. The sudden attack almost made me lose my footing.
I shook my heavy head, raised my Armor Stripping Sword, and stepped out of the Nine Star Heavenly Dipper.
As the last step of Insight fell, the Armor Removing Sword Qi in his hand went straight for Qiong Qi.
In the face of this sword qi, Qiongqi still stood on the spot, not reacting at all, allowing the sword qi to approach its body.
I thought that it was subdued by my attack, but the moment the sword energy touched its body, it opened its mouth and swallowed the sword energy. It looked as if it wasn't hurt at all.
I couldn't help but be shocked. I didn't expect Qiong Qi to have such a trick.
After pondering for a moment, I closed my eyes and took out my Saint Seal.
As soon as the seal appeared, Qiong Qi's face showed a trace of uneasiness.
Its body was slowly retreating. How could I let it go so easily? I quickly pointed at it.
The Celestial Master Seal received my order and quickly flew to Qiong Qi's head.
The Celestial Master Seal quickly hovered in the air and created a qi barrier that covered Qiong Qi.
Back then, my Celestial Master Seal had suppressed Heavenly Yaksha to the point that he couldn't breathe. Qiong Qi naturally wouldn't feel good now.
I took the chance to use the Celestial Master's One Word Technique. "Kneel."
As soon as I used the technique, Qiong Qi's body trembled. It was about to kneel.
However, at that moment, Qiong Qi slowly lifted its head and roared again. The black mist on its body thickened as it withstood my Celestial Master's One Word Technique.
I smacked my lips. Qiong Qi's power seemed to be stronger than Heavenly Yaksha. It seemed that I wouldn't be able to kill it in a short period of time.
However, I couldn't continue fighting with it like this. Summoning the Celestial Master Seal had consumed a lot of my Dao Qi. As time went on, my power would definitely weaken. At that time, the qi barrier would break on its own.
Qiong Qi seemed to have realized this as it had a relaxed expression. It gave me goosebumps.
Even though I still had a trump card, I couldn't use the Xuanyuan Sword rashly in this desolate land. Otherwise, it would attract a lot of trouble.
After pondering for a moment, I summoned the Spirit Snake. Even though it hadn't completely transformed into a Winged Dragon, its power was still quite good. With its help, killing Qiong Qi shouldn't be a problem.
As soon as the Spirit Snake appeared, it curiously stared at Qiong Qi without waiting for me to say anything. However, after staring for a long time, it didn't make a move. Instead, it turned to ask me, "What is that? It looks like a tiger. Why does it have wings?"
At that moment, I was already having a hard time. Seeing its curious expression, I couldn't help but scold it and ask it to stop researching and help.
The Spirit Snake chuckled and turned back to its original form. Then, it pounced on Qiong Qi.
I heaved a sigh of relief as the Spirit Snake joined the battle. I retrieved the Celestial Master Seal to prevent its Dao Qi from harming the Spirit Snake.
When Qiong Qi saw the Spirit Snake's original form, its body started to shiver in fear.
It was obvious that the Spirit Snake's nature was superior to Qiong Qi in a battle between a tiger and a dragon.
I sat cross-legged and didn't want to get involved. I held the jade bracelet in my hand and began to recover my strength.
The Spirit Snake forced Qiong Qi to retreat. Seeing that Qiong Qi was at a disadvantage, it flapped its wings and prepared to escape.
The Spirit Snake wouldn't let it go so easily. It chased after it and bit its tail.
Qiong Qi felt pain and turned around to spit a mouthful of black smoke at the Spirit Snake.
The Spirit Snake sensed that the smoke wasn't normal and quickly loosened its mouth.
Seizing the chance, Qiong Qi sped up and fled.
The Spirit Snake didn't want to give up. It twisted its body and followed Qiong Qi.
When I saw that, I wanted to call the Spirit Snake back. However, before I could say anything, its figure disappeared.
I couldn't help but worry. This was a barren land. If the Spirit Snake met a human expert, he would be mistaken for a monster. Then, it would be troublesome.
With that thought in mind, I stood up and used my Dao Qi to chase after the Spirit Snake.
However, after chasing for a while, the Spirit Snake's aura disappeared. Suddenly, several auras of Dao Qi appeared in the surroundings.
I was startled. Could it be that he's in danger?
I hurried to find the source of the Dao Qi.
As I got closer, I could feel that the person who had released the Dao Qi was very strong. He was at least at the early stage of the Seal Heavenly Master Realm.
Apart from the Dao Qi, there seemed to be other auras, but I couldn't tell.
When I got there, I didn't hurry to go there. Instead, I found a place to check the situation.
I was startled by what I saw.
There was no sign of Qiong Qi or the Spirit Snake. Instead, there were two groups of people fighting. Looking at their attire, one side was a human, while the other side was lined up with animals that hadn't transformed into humans. It seemed that they were from the monster race.
There were many experts on the human side. The Dao Qi that I had sensed earlier should have been released by them.
There were many people at the Heavenly Master Realm. There were also people at the Glorious Knowledge Realm and the Touch Acupoint Realm. There were even ordinary people.
However, I couldn't see through the power of the person standing at the front of the human race. It seemed that he was at least at the Yang God Celestial Master level.
On the monster race's side, although there were a few monsters that hadn't transformed, most of them had taken form.
I had heard from Yaoyao's mother that the monster race could only transform when they reached the Glorious Knowledge Realm.
It seemed that the monster race had far more people above the Glorious Knowledge Realm than the human race.
However, the cultivation method of the monster race was different from that of the human race. I couldn't see through their cultivation right away. I had to step into the Clear Insight Realm to see through them.
Unexpectedly, after stepping into the Clear Insight Realm, I was shocked by the results.
The number of Heavenly Master Realm monsters in the monster race was double that of the human race. Moreover, there were many monsters that I couldn't see through. It seemed that the human race was going to suffer this time.
Moreover, the human race was different from the monster race. The attacks of the human race didn't just rely on their cultivation. More importantly, they relied on the magic tools in their hands. However, the monster race was different. Their bodies were strong and their bodies could replace the functions of the magic tools.
According to what I knew, during the Desolate Era, the development of resources was limited. It was impossible to create many magic tools. Most of the magic tools were just natural weapons.
However, using these weapons to deal with the monster race's tyrannical bodies was like throwing an egg against a rock.
It seemed that the outcome of the battle had already been decided before it had even started.
I was currently standing far away. Although I was unhappy, I resisted the thought of going forward to help.
Firstly, the Spirit Snake's whereabouts were unknown. I still had to search for him. Secondly, even if I were to help, I might not be able to defeat the monster race.
After thinking about it, I prepared to leave to search for the Spirit Snake.
At that moment, the battle at the foot of the mountain had finally started. Instantly, the sounds of fighting filled the sky. I couldn't help but stop in my tracks.
I saw the human race and the monster race fighting. The human race's simple weapons were useless against the monsters. Instead, the monsters bit off the human's head in a few moves.
That wasn't the end. It was obvious that the monsters didn't want to leave their corpses intact. After biting off the head, they started to tear off the torso. They didn't stop until they were completely shredded.
I frowned when I saw such cruel methods.
The Heavenly Master Realm experts soared into the sky.
The attacks of the Heavenly Master Realm were really terrifying. Many of the attacks that didn't hit the opponent landed on the weaker people on the ground. The bodies of those who received such attacks instantly exploded.
