The Crimson Sun Mountain Range was a majestic mountain range.
A small mountain village was hidden here. It was called the Dragon Village. The village was very small and consisted of about ten wooden houses. It covered an area of one li and was inconspicuous in the mountain range.
Behind the village was a mountain peak. It was a thousand zhang tall and lush with lush vegetation. Ancient trees towered into the sky like a barrier, blocking the cold wind.
The waning moon hung in the night sky and the cold stars twinkled.
"Essence of fire, essence of earth, essence of water, essence of wood, essence of gold, essence of darkness, essence of light. The essence of the seven elements fuses into one and awakens the supreme Immortal Physique, stimulating endless potential …"
At the peak of the mountain, a young man was holding a beast skin scroll. He was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and his figure was tall and straight. He was about seven feet tall, and he was sitting on a huge rock. He was looking at it attentively, and his face was full of yearning.
The young man's name was Wutian. He was a member of the Dragon Village. Apart from his grandfather who was in his sixties, he had no other relatives. The two of them relied on each other for survival and lived comfortably.
"Those who possess the Immortal Physique can pluck the stars, destroy mountains and rivers, and cover the sky with one hand … Sigh! It's easy to say, but it's extremely difficult to do it. I haven't even awakened my basic physique yet, how can I have the supreme Immortal Physique … "
Wutian's face was red and his teeth were white. Two puffs of white smoke came out of his nostrils as he breathed. His pitch-black eyes moved away from the beast skin scroll and looked at the waning moon in the sky. After a moment of daze, he sighed.
The beast skin scroll recorded that this continent was called the Samsara Continent. It was vast and boundless and was divided into five continents: the Central Brilliance Continent, the West Tiger Continent, the South Sparrow Continent, the North Black Continent, and the Azure Dragon Continent.
The Crimson Sun Mountain Range belonged to the Azure Dragon Continent. The Azure Dragon Continent was the largest and had a population of more than ten million. However, there were very few people who could become Judges, let alone cover the sky with one hand!
"Grandfather once said that I can only find my parents if I become strong. But I'm already sixteen years old and I still haven't become a Judge. Could it be that I'm not destined to see them in this life?"
Suddenly, Wutian closed his eyes. His messy black hair fluttered in the wind. His hands rested on his knees as he formed a complicated hand seal.
Fortune-telling!
Wutian's grandfather was a fortune-teller for a living. Since he was young, he had been influenced by fortune-telling and had received a deep inheritance. He could tell the good or bad fortune of others. Through this technique, he wanted to see his own future and find the whereabouts of his parents.
Pinching his fingers for a moment, Wutian's forehead suddenly shot out a milky light, and a vast world appeared in front of his eyes. The stars were bright, and the moonlight was dazzling, sprinkling down. He could faintly see mountains, rivers, flowers, and trees.
At the end of the world, a majestic mountain peak was faintly discernible. Under the hazy moonlight, it was like an ancient vicious beast lurking, causing one's heart to tremble.
And on top of the giant peak, there was a huge palace. Although it was only a vague outline, one could still feel its splendor and grandeur. It was like a celestial palace, shocking one's vision.
"Rumble!"
At this time, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the sky. Strong winds blew and torrential rain poured down. Amidst the lightning and wind, a huge hand suddenly fell, covering the sky and earth, blocking everything.
"Pu!"
Wutian's body suddenly shook, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. The scene in front of him disappeared, leaving behind only darkness.
"It's just as grandfather said. My fate is impossible to predict." Wutian opened his eyes. His eyes were dim as he recalled what his grandfather had said. "Tian 'er, although grandfather can predict the fate of others, he can't see your life. At every critical moment, it's like there's an invisible hand covering your future, unable to see a trace of light."
Looking at the waning moon, Wutian's heart was indescribably irritated.
He felt that the starry sky was very familiar. It was like a memory from his previous life, or an illusion in a dream. It was somewhat unreal. In the palace on top of the giant peak, Wutian faintly sensed a few inexplicable auras. They were familiar yet unfamiliar, as if they were calling out to him.
As for that giant hand, it was as if it was his mortal enemy. Hatred grew in his heart, and he couldn't help but want to tear it apart.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a collision sound came from behind him. Wutian was startled, and cold sweat appeared on his back. He was so absorbed in his thoughts that he forgot where he was.
Although this mountain was the hunting ground of the village, and there weren't many powerful beasts, danger was always present. Some weak but extremely terrifying beasts often appeared.
For example, poisonous snakes, poisonous insects, poisonous scorpions, demonic spiders, and other poisonous beasts. Although their cultivation base wasn't high, their toxicity was amazing. Once bitten, the venom would attack the heart and kill the victim.
It wasn't as if such a thing had never happened before.
"Blood-devouring Bug!"
Wutian turned his head and immediately exclaimed. His face changed, and he jumped up and hid behind a giant rock. His pores opened, and he was on guard.
It was a flying insect that was only the size of a fist. Its entire body was emitting a blood-red glow, and its two blood-red wings were flapping, emitting a buzzing sound. There was a long and thin spike in its mouth, and under the dim light, it looked like a predator that could take the lives of others at any time.
In front of it, there was a black panther that was one meter long. It looked ferocious and was emitting a fierce aura.
However, when it looked at the Blood-devouring Bug, there was a trace of fear in its huge eyes, and its huge body was constantly trembling.
The two beasts faced each other, and Wutian didn't dare to make a sound. Whether it was the Blood-devouring Bug or the black panther, they were both terrifying beasts, especially the former. The spike in its mouth was extremely sharp, and it could penetrate gold and break stone. Moreover, it was extremely fast, like a ghost. It was completely impossible to guard against.
"Roar!"
The black panther roared, and its eyes flashed fiercely. Its claws dug on the ground, raising dust, but it didn't move forward. Its fierce eyes glanced around from time to time, as if it was looking for a way to retreat.
"Ji!"
The Blood-devouring Bug hissed, sharp and piercing. The black panther's ears immediately bled, and its face showed pain.
"The Blood-devouring Bug's sound can kill. The rumor is true." Wutian covered his bleeding ears and was shocked. If it weren't for the distance, he would have been shocked to death by the sound wave. It was really terrifying.
At this moment, the Blood-devouring Bug flapped its blood wings. Like a red comet in the dark, it cut through the air and went straight to the black panther. When it approached, the spike in its mouth suddenly grew to an inch.
"Poof!" A red light flashed past, and a fist-sized hole suddenly appeared in the black panther's head. Blood splashed three meters away. Before it could scream, it fell to the ground and died.
"Chi!" The Blood-devouring Bug swooped down, and the spike in its mouth pierced into the black panther's skin. The huge body quickly shrank and shriveled as if its flesh was being lost.
The Blood-devouring Bug's eyes were bloodthirsty as it enjoyed the delicious food.
Wutian was shocked. The Blood-devouring Bug was too terrifying. The black panther's body was so hard that even a blade couldn't cut it. But at this moment, it was easily penetrated. It was terrifying!
Shrinking his neck, Wutian didn't dare to continue watching. He crouched down, afraid that he would be discovered by the Blood-devouring Bug. At that time, even God couldn't save him. It was a dead end!
"Dugu God, Space-Time Deity, all the gods, please protect me."
Wutian, who didn't believe in any gods, couldn't help but secretly pray for protection at this moment.
However, the gods didn't seem to have the intention to protect him. With a hissing sound, the boulder in front of him broke into pieces. Wutian was the first to bear the brunt. He was hit in the chest by a few pieces of gravel. He flew out and hung on the edge of the cliff.
"Whoosh!"
The Blood-devouring Bug came to the top of Wutian's head like lightning. Its blood-red eyes were full of excitement. Its sharp spike flashed a bloody halo under the moonlight. It was extremely terrifying.
"Damn it!"
Wutian cursed in his heart. His hands clasped tightly on the edge of the cliff. He hid so carefully but still couldn't escape the nose of the Blood-devouring Bug. It seemed that he was doomed.
In front of him were the terrifying Blood-devouring Bug and behind him was the cliff. Unless a miracle happened, it would be difficult to escape death.
However, Wutian never believed in miracles. If there was a miracle, then he wouldn't have been unable to open his physique for sixteen years. He wouldn't have encountered such a terrifying beast in the middle of the night.
"Buzz!"
The Blood-devouring Bug moved. It swooped down. Its sharp spike was like a sharp arrow, fast and ruthless!
Wutian's scalp was numb. Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind. Finally, he clenched his teeth and prepared to let go. If he fell down the cliff, he might have a way out. But if he faced the Blood-devouring Bug, there was no chance. He would die without a corpse.
"Gua Gua!"
However, at this moment, a fist-sized black shadow jumped up from the soil. Its long tongue rolled. A strange scene appeared. The Blood-devouring Bug of the same size was directly sucked into its mouth.
"Crack!!!"
Then, the crisp sound of breaking bones rang out continuously.
Hearing this sound, Wutian's hair stood on end. He was horrified. The creature that suddenly appeared had bitten and swallowed the Blood-devouring Bug that could pierce through gold and stone.
Such a scene was too strange and too shocking.
The mysterious creature quickly ate the Blood-devouring Bug. Its long and narrow eyes had an unsatisfied expression. It looked at Wutian. Its long tongue spat out saliva. It jumped a few times on the spot as if it had found delicious food. It was extremely excited.
Under the faint moonlight, it was difficult to see the appearance of the mysterious creature. However, it could easily eat the Blood-devouring Bug, which was enough to prove that it was more terrifying than the latter. Wutian's heart sank to the bottom. He thought he had escaped a disaster. Unexpectedly, he still couldn't escape death.
"Gua!"
The mysterious creature jumped to the edge of the cliff. Its small nose sniffed Wutian's finger. Its eyes flashed. It opened its jaws and bit down.
"Rather than being swallowed alive with nothing left, I might as well fall to my death. Who knows, grandpa might even collect my corpse."
Wutian's eyes were filled with despair. He loosened his grip on the edge of the cliff and fell. However, the mysterious creature didn't seem to have any intention of letting him go. It jumped down with him and went straight for his head.
However, just as the mysterious creature touched Wutian's forehead, a milky light rushed out. It was like a bolt of lightning that shot into the sky and illuminated the surroundings.
As soon as this light appeared, it instantly wrapped around Wutian's body. It was like a cocoon that was suffused with a milky halo. His falling body suddenly stopped and floated up into the air. He slowly rose up and landed on the peak of the mountain.
This sudden change left Wutian at a loss. His mind was in a mess. He stood on the ground in a daze. His fingers touched his forehead and his face was filled with bewilderment.
"Gua gua!"
A hurried cry jolted Zhang Xuan awake. Raising his head, he saw a pitch-black creature the size of a fist struggling frantically, trying to escape. However, it was bound in place by the milky light, unable to break free.
"Demon Frog? No, the Demon Frog is only an ordinary animal. It can't possibly have the ability to swallow the Blood Devouring Bug. "
Seeing the mysterious creature bound by the light, Wutian took out the beast skin scroll from his waist and read it carefully.
Soon, Wutian's gaze stopped at a certain spot. His arm suddenly trembled and the beast skin scroll fell to the ground. However, he didn't notice it at all. His eyes flickered as he stared at the creature that was crying out non-stop. His body was trembling non-stop.
"Its entire body is pitch-black like ink and covered in round particles. Its front legs are straight and short, while its back legs are long and curved. Its eyes are like pearls and its teeth are like steel. It can crush rock and iron. It looks like the Demon Frog and is ugly. This beast is ranked tenth on the Exotic Beast Ranking, the Energy Swallowing Frog."
The description on the beast skin scroll was almost exactly the same as the mysterious creature before him. This meant that the creature that easily ate the Blood Devouring Bug was the terrifying Energy Swallowing Frog.
However, this was not enough to make Wutian so excited. The most important thing was that the Yuan Swallowing Frog had an ability that made countless people jealous. It could swallow anything and extract its essence, refining it into Profound Qi for people to refine.
The Energy Swallowing Frog also had another characteristic. During its infancy, it would feed on flesh and blood and extract the vitality within to accelerate its growth. During its infancy, it could devour trees, crystals, and so on. During its maturity, it could devour mountains, rivers, and earth and absorb the essence of heaven and earth. It could change its size. It could be as small as a speck of dust or as large as a mountain.
However, it was difficult for the Energy Swallowing Frog to grow. Not only was it slow, but the heavens would also send down the Nine Suns Lightning Tribulation at every stage. After the baptism of the lightning tribulation, it would basically die in its infancy. Hence, there were very few that could reach its maturity.
However, the Energy Swallowing Frog before him was clearly in its infancy.
