Picking a fight
The Northern Region Divine Mountain opened randomly every cycle. Because of the existence of the Divine Mountain, many ancient clans in the Northern Region of the Ancient Desolate Land prospered.
Even the supreme-grade spirit veins of the various ancient clans were inextricably linked to the opening of the Divine Mountain.
Because of the existence of the Divine Mountain, many demonic beasts in the mountain range below were of extremely high grade. However, this did not deter the various ancient clans.
There were many ancient clans like Long Chen who led their clans to train here.
The crystal cores of high-grade demonic beasts were also a considerable resource for the various ancient clans. They could use these to exchange for many resources from the Alchemist Guild and other organizations.
In the mountain range, the mournful cries of the giant demonic beast after its death caused all the demonic beasts within a radius of ten thousand meters to crawl.
Many ancient clans at the periphery were shocked and said in a low voice, "Someone is actually killing a Human King level demonic beast. I wonder which ancient clan's expert it is."
"The various ancient clan's King level experts are now preparing for the opening of the Divine Mountain. I wonder which clan's Human King is so free."
"Alright, let's all stay away from here. Don't forget about the proper business."
…
Everyone was extremely fearful of the person who could kill a Human King level demonic beast in the depths of the mountain range. However, they were extremely interested in the Return to Void cultivators at the periphery.
The person who killed the Human King level demonic beast was Long Chen.
Long Chen looked at the Human Lord-ranked Demonic Beast that was the size of a small mountain and shook his head slightly. This Demonic Beast was only equivalent to a Level Two Human Sovereign. However, it had taken him five days to kill it.
Long Chen was deeply aware that his current cultivation level was still too low. His combat strength was still limited.
With a shake of his sword, Long Chen picked up a scarlet crystal core from the demonic beast's head. It seemed as if there was a demonic beast's soul within it.
Long Chen raised his hand and put the demonic beast's body into his storage ring. This demonic beast had scales and sharp claws. It would be a good material for the Hundred Smelting Clan to refine. Even its flesh and blood were comparable to elixirs for cultivators below the Path Integration Stage.
"Five days have passed. I wonder how many demonic beasts they've killed and how many crystal cores they've obtained …" Long Chen leaped a few times and headed towards the rendezvous point.
He did not choose to fly. Flying under the Divine Mountain would easily attract the attention of even more powerful demonic beasts, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
The chirping of insects was incessant, and the scorching sun was high in the sky. It was noon when Long Chen returned to the meeting place.
The Sumeru Tribe had been waiting for him for a long time, but their faces were all ashen. Of the original thirty people, only twenty were left.
Long Chen frowned slightly. It was expected that there would be casualties when facing the Demonic Beasts here, but ten people had died in just five days. This number was unacceptable to Long Chen.
Long Chen stared at the crowd and said in a deep voice, "How many cores did each of you obtain? Take them all out. "
As Long Chen's voice fell, everyone's faces became more and more unsightly. One by one, they took out the crystal cores from their storage rings. Twenty people added up to less than ten crystal cores.
Seeing this scene, Long Chen's face turned completely gloomy. He said coldly, "What's going on?"
A hint of anger flashed in the eyes of the people standing at the front. They stepped forward and explained, "After we arrived here, other ancient clans came immediately after. They all seemed to be targeting us …"
"Yes, especially the Gilded Rat Clan and the Li Clan. Because of the three-month protection period, although they did not attack us, with their Dao Integration Stage cultivation, once we killed the Demonic Beasts, they immediately came to snatch the cores!"
Long Chen looked at the crystal cores in everyone's hands. Before he could say anything, a rustling sound came from behind him.
Soon, several groups of people appeared in front of Long Chen's group.
"Yo, this Sumeru Tribe has Dao Integration Stage disciples. A group of Void Return cultivators dares to return to the Ancient Desolate Land? What a joke!"
"Alright, give these Demonic Beast cores to us. Also, I haven't seen you for the past few days. You should have accumulated quite a lot!"
…
The groups of people looked at Long Chen's group with ridicule, their eyes full of disdain.
Long Chen stared at them and sneered. "What if I don't give them to you? What are you going to do?"
A Dao Integration Stage middle-aged man from the Gilded Rat Clan said coldly, "Do you think you can be so arrogant in front of us just because you have a three-month protection period?"
"From now on, the Sumeru Tribe is not allowed to come to the mountain range below the Divine Mountain. Otherwise … you might die here!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand at the people behind him. They immediately looked at him with disdain and returned to the mountain range. Soon, several Demonic Beasts comparable to Dao Integration Stage cultivators were herded here.
The disciples behind Long Chen turned pale. They were all only at the Return to Void Stage. These Dao Integration Stage Demonic Beasts were not something they could deal with.
If Long Chen was not here, these Demonic Beasts would have killed all of them!
"A bunch of Return to Void Stage trash. How dare you come to the Divine Mountain to train? Take these Demonic Beasts as a greeting gift!"
The people from the various tribes looked at Long Chen and the others mockingly and retreated.
Immediately afterward, many Dao Integration Stage Demonic Beasts pounced toward Long Chen and the others as if they were being herded …
The corner of Long Chen's mouth curled up into a sneer. The longsword in his hand was suddenly unsheathed, and a chilling murderous intent rippled out. The power of rules around him slowly dispersed.
An invisible pressure instantly made everyone tremble from the depths of their souls.
Gasp!
Everyone was stunned. The Dao Integration Stage cultivators from the various ancient tribes who came to provoke Long Chen subconsciously retreated more than ten steps. They stared at Long Chen in horror.
This kid … What's going on?!
Everyone broke out in a cold sweat. They recalled the furious roars of the Human King Stage Demonic Beasts and felt their mouths go dry.
The middle-aged man's face turned pale as he stared at Long Chen. "You … You're the Dao Integration Stage cultivator from the Sumeru Tribe who's comparable to a Human King Stage cultivator?"
Everyone was in disbelief. Long Chen was far too young. He was only at the early-stage of the Dao Integration Stage, but he was comparable to a Human King Stage cultivator.
Long Chen didn't say anything. The ten or so Demonic Beasts in front of him prostrated themselves on the ground. They were all intimidated by his aura.
The dozens of Dao Integration Stage cultivators from the various tribes also felt as if their legs were filled with lead and they couldn't move an inch …
Soon, however, their faces were filled with terror. This was because the Demonic Beasts were strangely walking toward them under the pressure of Long Chen's aura.
"What … What's going on? Why are these Demonic Beasts listening to you?"
Everyone turned pale with fright. However, they were so intimidated by Long Chen's aura that they couldn't breathe. Only a few people who had materialized their dao bodies forcibly broke free from the power of laws and fled frantically.
The Demonic Beasts charged into the group of Dao Integration Stage cultivators from the various tribes and started slaughtering them!
Shrill cries could be heard from the various tribes. They couldn't fight back at all …
"No, no, spare us! We're from the Golden Rat Tribe, which is a vassal of the Divine Wolf Tribe. You can't kill us! "
"Ah … How can this be? You're making an enemy out of all the ancient tribes!"
Seeing that Long Chen wasn't moved at all, one of the Golden Rat Tribe Dao Integration Stage cultivators shouted, "Save me, save me! Spare us! We have something to give you. We also have a piece of news … Please spare our lives!"
