The Ural Mountain Range was the longest mountain range in the Demon Territory. It almost ran through the entire Demon Territory. The entire Beastmen Empire was built along the Ural Mountain Range, with cities built on both sides of the mountain range.
Apart from providing a habitat for the Beastmen Empire, the depths of the Ural Mountain Range was also a paradise for ferocious beasts. Places like the Beast Hunting Ground of Saad Academy were located at the edge of the Ural Mountain Range. If one ventured deeper, they would encounter ferocious beasts with even higher cultivation and even more ancient bloodlines.
With my current cultivation, my target would naturally be ferocious beasts at the Monster King Realm.
Ferocious beasts at this realm could normally produce Xuan Level Beast Cores in their bodies. The power contained in them was considerable for the current me. According to my estimation, I would only need a few dozen Xuan Level Beast Cores to reach the Late Stage of Monster King Realm and then break through to the Demonic Saint Realm.
The Demonic Saint Realm was equivalent to the Yang Spirit in the human world. At that time, I would be able to use the power of the Yang Spirit to hunt ferocious beasts at the Demonic Saint Realm.
If everything went smoothly, three months should be enough for me to restore my cultivation to the Ascension Realm.
From the entrance of the Beast Hunting Ground to the depths of the Ural Mountain Range, I could only see ferocious beasts at the Demon Spirit Realm at first. Soon, after I saw the first Golden-eyed Wolf, ferocious beasts at the Demon General Realm started to appear.
Even though I had already spread my Monster King Realm cultivation, ferocious beasts were perverse. Most of the ferocious beasts at the Demon General Realm charged at me as soon as they saw me. I easily killed them and took out the Yellow Level Beast Cores in their bodies.
The Yellow Level Beast Cores weren't of much use to me, so I didn't eat them. Instead, I kept them and planned to give them to Nam when I got out. Whether it was to increase his cultivation or to exchange them for some gold coins, it would be beneficial to him.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye. During this period of time, I had obtained more than a hundred Yellow Level Beast Cores. It wasn't until the sixth day that I met my first ferocious beast at the Demon King Realm.
It was a ferocious beast that looked like a cheetah. However, there was a pair of meaty wings on both sides of its shoulders. There was also an extremely long horn on the top of its head. It let out a sound that sounded like a baby's cry.
From its appearance, this fierce beast looked like a bird but was not a bird, like a leopard but was not a leopard. It was quite similar to a strange beast called the Chong Diao recorded in the 'Classic of Mountains and Seas'. Obviously, it was also a fierce beast with the bloodline of the Chong Diao.
I didn't dare to be careless and immediately took out the Xuan Yuan Sword. Since I was alone in the depths of the mountain, I wasn't in danger of being spied on. Thus, I didn't worry too much. After taking out the Xuan Yuan Sword, I directly jumped up and attacked the ferocious beast.
Activating the Xuanyuan Sword Qi was naturally the most powerful move I could master, but it consumed too much of my cultivation. At this time, I was in the territory of Ominous Beasts, and other Ominous Beasts could appear at any time. Therefore, I still adopted the method of hand-to-hand combat, which could maintain my combat effectiveness for the longest time.
As for the Xuanyuan Sword Qi, it could only be used to save his life at the most dangerous time.
The ferocious beast didn't have the slightest intention of retreating when it saw me pouncing towards it. It flapped its wings and charged towards me. When it was close to me, it lowered its head and aimed its horn at me.
The speed of the ferocious beast wasn't fast, but its huge horn constantly made whistling sounds as it tore through the air. It was obvious that it had great power.
Every ferocious beast with an ancient bloodline had the strength of an outstanding expert at the same level. However, this kind of head-on attack didn't have any advantage against the Xuan Yuan Sword.
I didn't make any unnecessary movements. I directly held the Xuan Yuan Sword in my hand and met its horn head-on.
There was no sound at all. The tip of the Xuan Yuan Sword collided with the horn of the ferocious beast. Without a moment's delay, the horn was directly cut in the middle, splitting into two halves.
The ferocious beast and I had both used our full strength to attack. Our relative speed was extremely fast. With just a brush of our bodies, the head of the ferocious beast was split into two halves. There was also a huge wound on its body. Blood splashed out and dyed a large area of the grassland.
I searched the corpse for a while and found the Beast Core. As I had expected, this ferocious beast's Beast Core was at least at the middle grade of the Profound level.
After a few days, I had finally found a Beast Core that I could use. My spirits were lifted. I found a huge tree nearby and flew to the top of the tree. After swallowing the Beast Core, I started to adjust my breathing.
The monster energy in the Beast Core was incomparably pure. In less than fifteen minutes, I had completely absorbed the entire Beast Core. The monster energy in my body had increased by a large amount.
I jumped down from the tree and came to the side of the ferocious beast's corpse. I had originally planned to take some of its meat as my meal. However, I didn't expect that there would be two ferocious beasts that had gathered and were currently devouring the corpse.
I couldn't help but be delighted as these two ferocious beasts also had the cultivation of Monster King.
Originally, I was a little worried that Monster King realm ferocious beasts wouldn't be easy to find. I didn't expect that there would be one that came to me on its own initiative. This was what it meant to wear out iron shoes in fruitless search.
These two ferocious beasts didn't have an ancient bloodline. After casually killing them, I took out two more Profound level Beast Cores. Although the quality was slightly lower than the previous one, they were both Profound level, so they were still of great help to me.
After obtaining these two Beast Cores, I wasn't in a hurry to swallow them.
The previous scene had given me some inspiration. The corpse of the ferocious beast that had the ancient bloodline seemed to be a great temptation to other ferocious beasts. I just had to wait here and I should be able to obtain a large amount of Beast Cores.
The reality was just as I had predicted. In the following day, I stayed by the side of the ferocious beast's corpse and killed seven Monster King realm ferocious beasts that came to forage for food. In addition to the previous two, I had nine Profound level Beast Cores.
After nightfall, there weren't many of the ferocious beasts' corpses left. Furthermore, no more ferocious beasts appeared for a long time. Thus, I ended my hunt. After advancing for a few kilometers, I set up a tent on a tree. After entering the tent, I swallowed the Profound level Beast Cores that I had obtained today one by one. My cultivation increased at a visible rate.
In the following days, I continued to advance deeper into the Ural Mountain Range. The number of ferocious beasts that had an ancient bloodline was extremely small, so I couldn't use the previous method of waiting here and there. However, even if I didn't use this method, I could obtain at least three or four Profound level Beast Cores a day. If I was lucky and encountered a ferocious beast that had an ancient bloodline, I could obtain more than ten Beast Cores a day.
Just like that, after five days, my cultivation directly rushed to the middle stage of the Monster King realm. With the help of the Xuanyuan Sword, it was even easier to hunt ferocious beasts of the same realm.
Time passed quickly. After another week, my cultivation was already close to the late stage of the Monster King realm. However, at this time, I encountered a Monster Saint realm ferocious beast.
The Monster King and Monster Saint were separated by a realm, but the Monster Saint was equivalent to the Yang God Celestial Master in the human world.
I still didn't know if there was a Yang God in the ferocious beast's body, but based on my own cultivation experience, I could roughly confirm that the strength of a ferocious beast in the Monster Saint realm would also increase by leaps and bounds.
The truth was indeed as I thought. The strength of this ferocious beast in the Monster Saint realm was far superior to mine, and its spiritual wisdom was also incomparable to that of other ferocious beasts. In the end, I was forced to activate the Xuanyuan Sword Qi to finally end this difficult hunt.
Although the process of the battle was difficult, the final harvest was extremely rich. From the body of this ferocious beast, I obtained an Earth level Beast Core for the first time!
From the appearance, the Earth level Beast Core was very different from the Yellow and Profound level Beast Cores.
This Beast Core was the size of a fist. Its surface was crystal clear, and I could see a miniature version of the ferocious beast inside. It looked as if the ferocious beast's soul was imprisoned inside.
I originally planned to directly swallow this Beast Core, but after some thought, I temporarily gave up on this idea.
With my current cultivation, the improvement brought by the Profound level Beast Core was still very great. There was no need to take the risk of swallowing this kind of Beast Core that was far more powerful than mine.
Even if it wouldn't do any harm to me, it would definitely affect my future absorption of the Profound level Beast Core.
Therefore, it was best to save this Beast Core for when my cultivation broke through to the Monster Saint realm in the future.
Finding a ferocious beast in the Monster Saint realm meant that I had reached the territory of the Monster Saint realm ferocious beasts. As I moved forward, most of the ferocious beasts I encountered were Monster Saints.
Therefore, I temporarily changed my direction and began to explore the surroundings, continuing to hunt and kill ferocious beasts with the Monster King realm cultivation.
