Unaware that his actions had once again caused a conflict between the Temple of Light and the Temple of Space and Time, Gray crushed the Random Transfer Orb. By the time he came back to his senses, he had already appeared in the mountains.
The vegetation here was extremely dense, stretching as far as the eye could see. It was filled with an aura of desolation, and there were no traces of humans.
The trees were extremely tall, reaching over a hundred meters in height from time to time. It would take dozens of people to wrap their arms around a tree. Being in this kind of world was like being in a kingdom of giants.
"I wonder how the three of them are doing?"
Gray was very worried about the three of them, especially about Sophia's situation. However, he could only suppress this worry, because he had no idea where they had been teleported to. Even if he worried about them, it would be pointless.
Roar!
With a deafening roar, the trees shook violently, and a ten-meter-long blood beast with crimson fur appeared.
This was a tiger-type blood beast, the Crimson Flame Blood Tiger. It was a King-level blood beast with the ability to control fire.
This was its territory, and Gray's teleportation had alarmed it. It had rushed over angrily, wanting to see just what kind of idiot dared to behave so atrociously in its territory.
When it saw Gray, its huge crimson eyes flashed with an ominous glint. It opened its mouth wide enough to stuff several Grays inside, and a foul stench of rotting food wafted out, accompanied by crimson flames.
Whoosh!
A crimson flame rolled like a wave towards Gray. Gray's figure was incomparably small in front of this wave, and the Crimson Flame Blood Tiger, who had spat out this crimson flame, was already drooling. It was already imagining the scene of its prey being roasted to perfection.
By chance, it had discovered that roasting its prey was more delicious than eating it raw, and it had become infatuated with this way of eating.
The crimson flames swept over, and the wind that it stirred up caused Gray's black hair to flutter. Gray didn't move half a step, but his eyebrows were furrowed.
Whoosh!
He used the Frigid Wind Blade that he hadn't used in a long time. A huge Frigid Wind Blade appeared in front of him and slashed forward.
Crack crack!
In front of this Ice Wind Blade, the seemingly powerful scarlet flame was like a matchstick in the cold wind, extinguishing in an instant. The Ice Wind Blade continued to slash forward, chopping into the Crimson Flame Blood Tiger's huge mouth.
Puff!
The Frigid Ice Wind Blade was like a sharp bone chopping knife. Along with the splashing of blood, the Crimson Flame Blood Tiger's head was almost split into two halves.
The huge body of the Crimson Flame Blood Tiger didn't even have time to struggle before it fell to the ground with a loud bang. Ice spread out and covered its entire body.
Gray stepped forward and cut off one of the legs to prepare for today's food. The rest of the body parts were stored in the purple ring to replenish his food reserves.
After inspecting the nearby area and confirming that there was no danger, Gray cleared out an empty space in the forest and picked up a bonfire.
A huge leg that had been skinned and weighed at least a few hundred kilograms was placed over the bonfire to roast. Not long after, the huge leg turned golden. The golden fat dripped down and an alluring fragrance filled the air.
Sitting next to the bonfire, Gray had Derek stand guard in the surroundings. From time to time, he would turn over the huge leg and begin to check on the day's harvest.
First, he checked the weapons of the ten people he killed. As people from the Radiant Temple, the things they used naturally wouldn't be bad. The weapons of the ten people were all Gold-ranked weapons.
However, other than the gloves of the man with the magma ability, the other nine weapons should be extremely common among Gold-ranked weapons. Gray suspected that these nine weapons were the standard weapons of the Radiant Temple. Although they could be mass-produced, their power was very likely to be the lowest among weapons of the same rank.
Then, Gray checked the spatial items of these people. Out of the ten people's spatial items, only seven of them were in his hands. Three of them had already been gifted to Sophia and the other two.
Among them, the spatial item of the man with the magma ability was a bracelet with close to ten thousand cubic meters of space. He had gifted it along with the items inside to Sophia.
He checked the items in the remaining seven spatial bags one by one.
There were quite a lot of things. There were various types of magic potions, rune items for survival in the wild, and purple-black magic coins.
Surprisingly, the size of the magic coins was exactly the same as the size of the magic coins of the Four Kingdoms. The magic coins of the Four Kingdoms were made according to the size of the magic coins of the Empire. Obviously, the Empire during the Empire was related to the Source World.
These magic coins, together with the magic coins he had on him, added up to about ten million. He didn't have much, mainly the seven people had more.
He didn't see any gold or silver coins. He didn't know if gold or silver coins could still be circulated in this world.
After checking the items in the seven spatial bags, the aroma of the meat was so thick that it almost turned into a mist. Gray put everything away and began to eat heartily. He actually ate dozens of kilograms in one go.
After finishing his dinner and putting away the rest, Gray took out a spatial bag and threw out a corpse. It was the corpse of the man with the magma ability, Maruna.
Compared to the other party, Derrick's combat power was undoubtedly much weaker. Therefore, he decided to control the corpse to Maruna.
After a series of operations, at the cost of a large area of the forest withering, Maruna's repaired body stood up and took over Derrick's work. He also buried Derrick's corpse while he was at it.
"According to the people of the Temple of Light, the conditions for cultivation in the Source World are very unique. The cultivation speed is several times faster than in the other planes."
Standing in the open space, Gray began to cultivate the blood technique. Soon, the phantom of a giant lizard over twenty meters long appeared in the open space in the forest.
The giant lizard was covered in black scales. When it stood up, it was several stories tall. Its thick and sturdy tail was full of sharp barbs. It was the Magic Light rank Demonic Poison Dragon.
With the appearance of the Demonic Poison Dragon, Gray quickly entered a state of cultivation. He immediately felt the difference between cultivation in the Source World and in the other planes.
When he was cultivating the blood technique in the other planes, his body would feel a faint numbness. That was because his body was being washed and strengthened.
But in the Source World, this numbness was several times stronger. He could clearly feel that the effects of cultivation had been strengthened.
After two rounds of cultivation ended and entering the third round of cultivation, Gray stopped cultivating when he felt that his body had reached its limit.
Panting heavily, Gray took out a towel to wipe the sweat on his forehead. There was a trace of excitement on his face.
"The conditions for cultivation in the Source World really are much better than in the other planes!"
After just one round of cultivation, Gray could clearly feel that his body had improved. Although it was very small, he had indeed improved. The conditions for cultivation in the Source World were indeed much better than in the other planes.
Even if he didn't use any supplementary cultivation medicine or the black crystal, he felt that his cultivation speed wouldn't be slower than when he had the supplementary cultivation medicine and the black crystal.
"No wonder the powerhouses in the Source World are so strong."
Gray finally understood why the Source World had powerhouses that far surpassed the Magic Light rank.
The unique cultivation conditions allowed the residents of the Source World to grow several times faster than the residents of the other planes. The difference of several times was enough for the residents of the Source World to leave the residents of the other planes far behind.
Were people like Francis, Galinwei Austin, and Sophia lacking in talent?
To be able to stand out among their peers, their talent was definitely not lacking. Even in the Source World where there was a large population base, their talent would definitely rank in the upper echelons.
But even so, if they didn't leave the Source World, their lifetime achievements would very likely stop at the Triple Metamorphosis Regent level. It would be extremely difficult for them to become Magic Light.
This was the influence of the environment. The environment affected the performance of their talent and blocked their path of improvement.
Now that the three of them had left the plane and entered the Source World, they had the same cultivation conditions as the residents of the Source World. Gray was looking forward to seeing how far the three of them could grow.
The next day, Gray randomly chose a direction and set off.
His purpose in coming to the Source World was only to make use of the Source World's cultivation conditions. As for where he was going, he didn't have a clear goal, so he very casually chose a direction.
There were no traces of humans in the dense forest, as if no humans had ever been here. In contrast, there were many different types of blood fiends. In just half a day, Gray encountered many blood fiends. Gray recognized some of them, but there were also some that Gray didn't recognize. The Source World had more types of blood fiends than the other planes.
Patter, patter!
There was movement in front of him. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Gray quickly climbed up a huge tree and hid himself in the dense foliage of the huge tree.
Not long after he climbed up the huge tree, the creature that caused the movement appeared in front of him. It was a giant tortoise with an earthy yellow shell. The shell of the giant tortoise was extremely large, covering an area of several hundred square meters. It was even larger than the average room.
The giant tortoise bared its teeth, which looked extremely sharp. It didn't look docile at all. Instead, it looked extremely ferocious.
Although it was a tortoise, its speed definitely couldn't be described as slow. Its thick legs could cover more than ten meters with each stride. Instead of being slow, it was actually quite fast.
"What a huge body. Could this be a disaster-level blood fiend whose combat power is comparable to a Destruction warrior?"
Hiding in the dense foliage of the huge tree, Gray secretly guessed as he looked through the gaps of the leaves at the huge creature crawling towards him.
In the realm of blood warriors, above the Magic Light level was the Destruction level. In the realm of blood fiends, above the Magic Light level was the Disaster level. The reason it was called the Disaster level was because once a blood fiend of this level appeared, it would cause an unimaginable disaster.
Gray suspected that the giant tortoise in front of him was a Disaster level blood fiend. Its body was really too big. Although the strength of a blood fiend was not necessarily proportional to its body size, in most cases, the strength of a blood fiend was proportional to its body size.
"Oh no, it found me!"
Suddenly, Gray was shocked to find that the giant tortoise's head turned. Its huge eyes were looking at the tree he was hiding in. Its eyes were clearly the eyes of a hunter who had discovered its prey.
