It was a monster from the Eternal Sacred Realm.
It was the first time that Long Chen had seen such a wild beast at such a close distance.
This strange desolate beast was about thirty meters long and looked like a small mountain.
Thirty meters was not small. In the Eternal Sacred Realm, Long Chen's Divine Dragon body was only about two hundred meters long. This was the pressure of a mature world. Mo Xiaolang's Sun-Devouring Demonic Wolf body was probably less than a hundred meters long.
In fact, whether it was the body of a demon, a wild beast, or a Divine Dragon, there was not much of a relationship between body size and strength. However, for most creatures, body size was related to strength.
This thirty-meter-long giant beast was solid and full of explosive power. Its body was filled with Nirvana energy. In terms of combat power, even the Hall Master of the Hanwu Temple, who was at the third tier of the Nirvana Tribulation realm, was not a match for this ordinary wild beast.
The giant beast that appeared in front of Long Chen had a majestic body like a mountain goat, but it had sharp claws like a tiger's. Most of its body was covered with barbs, and there were three sharp thorns on its back. Its eyes were long and narrow, blood-red, and it looked bloody and ferocious. There were also two pairs of horns on its head. The first pair was like a bull's horn, pointing straight ahead, and it was covered with mottled blood stains. The other pair was much larger, and it was spiral-shaped, like wings that extended to its tail, and its sharp points shone with a frightening cold light.
The most surprising thing was its wide mouth and sharp teeth that were full of the smell of death. This wild beast was purely a killing machine.
Long Chen had just arrived, so of course he could not call out the wild beast's name.
This desolate beast was not coming for them. It was chasing a snow-white little beast. Long Chen took a closer look. The beast that was running towards them in a sorry state was a cute snow-white puppy. Its eyes were big and shiny, and its limbs were rather short. The way it ran was very cute and amusing.
The huge desolate beast let out a series of roars as saliva dripped from its mouth. It used its sharp horns to smash the mountain, completely ignoring Long Chen and the others. It opened its bloody mouth and bit towards the snow-white puppy.
When the chubby snow-white puppy saw Long Chen and the rest, its big eyes flashed with a pleading light. It pitifully ran towards Long Chen.
"Chen …" Such a cute little thing instantly broke Lingxi's heart.
He had to attack!
The wild beast would not avoid Long Chen.
After not fighting for more than a year, Long Chen's Ancient Blood Spiritual Dragon nature was about to explode. At this moment, the God Slaying Sword appeared in Long Chen's hand. He was like a cannonball, crashing towards the ferocious wild beast with terrifying momentum. In an instant, he appeared on the head of the wild beast!
Long Chen held the desolate beast's horn with one hand. His muscles bulged and with the Ancestral Dragon's body, he used his physical strength. With a sudden burst of strength, the charging behemoth was flipped around. The incomparably large body was lifted into the air by Long Chen before it was flung away. With a loud explosion, another mountain peak was hit. Large amounts of rubble rained down, nearly annihilating the desolate beast!
Boom boom boom!
The wild beast was covered in blood, but it did not let out a scream. Instead, it let out an angry roar like a tiger. It crushed the mountain rocks and prepared to attack Long Chen. At this moment, Long Chen flung the God Slaying Sword. The gray divine sword pierced through the wild beast's eye and burst out from the back of its head. Blood splattered all over the sky.
After the God Slaying Sword passed, the wild beast's vitality faded rapidly no matter how strong it was. Before it died, it still struggled towards Long Chen and finally collapsed in front of Long Chen.
There was no more sound. When it died, the wild beast was already lying in a pool of blood, showing its ferocity.
A mere third tier Nirvana Tribulation Realm wild beast was so daring.
If this ordinary wild beast was thrown into the Dragon Ritual Continent, its body would expand a hundred times. Only a Demon Thearch Realm martial artist would be able to deal with it.
With a large amount of Nirvana spiritual energy and immortal essences in the Eternal Celestial Domain, even wild beasts were extraordinary.
After dealing with his first opponent in the Eternal Celestial Domain, Long Chen turned around and saw that Lingxi was already hugging that snow-white puppy in her arms. That puppy was still trembling and squeezing itself pitifully in Lingxi's arms. Tears welled up in its eyes and it even coughed a few times, making one's heart ache.
Kitten ran around the puppy in circles.
Long Chen walked up and said, "Let's leave this place first."
He was not familiar with the Eternal Celestial Domain, so he was very careful at all times. If he caused a commotion here, someone might discover him.
After leaving the mountain range, Long Chen took the puppy into his hands and examined it.
"There's no Nirvana energy in it. It's not a normal wild beast. Could it be an ancient mutated beast like Die 'er?"
He saw that although Lingxi had quite a lot, she clearly had no resistance to such a cute little thing, so he studied it a little more.
"Awoo awoo." The puppy barked a few times, looking at Lingxi in awe of Long Chen.
"Haha, I finally know what this dog is!" Kitten laughed loudly.
Long Chen walked while waiting for his answer.
"This is a spiritual snow hound. It's indeed an ancient mutated beast. It's not easy for it to survive until now.
Its bloodline is very special, and the most awesome thing about it is its nose. It's said to be the best in the world. You guys are really lucky to get a little monster like this as soon as you come to the Eternal Celestial Domain. It has another name, it's called … "
Speaking of this, the kitten began to act mysteriously.
"What?" Long Chen glared at him.
Kitten then said, "That's … called a treasure hunting dog.
Haha, that's the nickname I gave it. This little thing doesn't have any strong points, and it doesn't have much combat power. Any little bug can kill it. However, its nose is very good. Basically, it can detect dao treasures, immortal essences, and some other strange treasures. As long as there's something good nearby, it will bring you to it. Of course, you have to become its master. "
"A treasure hunting dog?" This was the first time Long Chen heard of such a magical thing.
The pure white puppy shrunk back, extremely afraid of Long Chen.
Hearing that it was a good thing, Lingxi was even more determined to bring it along. Seeing that she couldn't bear to part with it, Long Chen could only hand it over to her.
"Thank you, Chen." Lingxi was overjoyed as if she had received a gift. She went to play with the pitiful little beast.
"If we're lucky, this little thing can still be of great help." Although the kitten had a look of disdain, it still said so.
"Are there many of these things in the Eternal God Realm?" Long Chen suddenly asked.
"I'm guessing … not many," Kitten said with a chuckle.
Definitely not many, but it had appeared right in front of him. His luck was just too good, right?
The group continued forward.
As he advanced through the wilderness, there were indeed desolate beasts and venomous bugs everywhere. Along the way, Long Chen basically never let go of his sword. The most difficult thing to deal with was not the desolate beasts, but the venomous bugs. They would appear from time to time. On the leaves, in the rocks, in the river, many of the seemingly simple venomous bugs were, in fact, shockingly poisonous.
Any one of them could wreak havoc in the lower realms.
After about half a day, they finally walked out of the wilderness. Up ahead was a relatively flat piece of land. Although it was still covered in rocks, at least there seemed to be signs of human habitation. But no matter where they went, the smell of blood still lingered around them.
The Sentient Snow Hound began to get familiar with the group. It didn't have any intelligence, and all it could do was babble. When Lingxi wasn't holding it, it would scamper along on its four short legs. It was a cute sight.
Perhaps it was because Long Chen had slaughtered the wild beasts, but the Sentient Snow Hound was afraid of him.
"Up ahead should be the city Big Brother Ao mentioned. We'll live there for a while and blend in. Then we can move on to the next step of the plan."
An ancient city appeared in front of them. In terms of grandeur, it couldn't compare to the Desolate Emperor's Palace at all. The mottled city walls and shabby bricks looked like they had been passed down from ancient times. Although they looked shabby, they were actually more stable than Long Chen had imagined.
Long Chen got closer and closer to the city.
He could see a black flag set up on the city wall. The flag was embroidered with a blood-red wolf head. It was a cruel sight. The ancient city had an even thicker stench of blood. It seemed like it was not a peaceful place.
'It seems the Eternal-Life God Domain is a world of bloodshed and slaughter. Wild beasts roam the land, and venomous bugs are everywhere. Under the pressure of the Heaven-Dao Nirvanic Tribulation and Reincarnation Tribulation, people fight with their lives on the line. They kill for treasures, for dao items, for immortal essences, and for preheaven daoist magics....'
Although he had only just arrived, Long Chen had already guessed what was going on.
The lingering smell of blood in the air was the best evidence.
Just then, a rumbling sound came from the direction of the city as a large group of people headed in Long Chen's direction.
Long Chen and company stopped in their tracks. They narrowed their eyes as they looked at the group that was quickly approaching them. It was a group riding desolate beasts. The desolate beasts they were riding on were wolves that had passed at least two Nirvana Tribulations. They looked extremely ferocious wolf-shaped desolate beasts. Their bodies were pitch-black and their eyes were blood-red. The most terrifying thing about them was that they did not have any fur. Their bodies were covered in thick black scales and their claws and teeth were terrifyingly sharp. As they approached Long Chen and company, the group of wolf-shaped desolate beasts panted heavily and let out low growls.
The Sentient Snow Hound yelped and cowered at Lingxi's feet, shivering.
