Similar to the Maple Wolf King, it was a Saint 5-dan saint beast. Its eyes were crimson red, and its fur was as tough as metal. Hanging on its body, it was as if a Saint intermediate-tier artifact. Putting aside killing it, ordinary attacks were unable to even break through its defense.
"It's the Bloodeye Vulture!"
"We're doomed this time around …"
They didn't think that they would encounter this Bloodeye Vulture so soon after escaping from the Wolf King's encirclement. Wu Kuang and the others didn't have the time to make things difficult for Zhang Xuan and Wu Chen, and their faces paled.
The Bloodeye Vulture was even more famous than the Maple Wolf King. It wasn't that it was more powerful, but when it killed its foes, it tortured them to death.
In other words, even though it could have killed its foes in a single blow, it chose to inflict wounds all over its foes until they bled to death.
Because of this, coupled with the fact that they could fly and come and go like the wind, everyone would rather encounter ten Wolf Kings than one of these fellows.
If they were lucky enough, they might have been able to escape from the encirclement of the Wolf King. However, before this fellow, it would be difficult for them to even take a single step forward, let alone escape!
"Let's fight to the death!"
Wu Kuang clenched his fists tightly together.
They had really gotten off to a bad start. Most cultivators would return with a bountiful harvest, but they didn't expect that they would encounter two powerful saint beasts in less than two hours.
"Un!"
Once again, everyone drew their weapons in unison and prepared for battle.
The Bloodeye Vulture seemed to have noticed their nervousness, and a hint of mockery flashed across its crimson eyes. With a flap of its massive wings, a powerful gale whipped up, and countless rocks were swept up into the air before shooting toward them like cannonballs.
Ding ding ding ding!
Under the impact of the rocks, everyone felt their hands going numb, and their swords threatened to fly out of their hands at any moment.
They retreated several steps back with despair in their eyes.
Just a casual flap of its wings was already so powerful that they were no match for it. If the Bloodeye Vulture were to charge at them, there was no way they would be a match for it.
"It seems like we really won't be able to escape this calamity …"
Wu Kuang sighed in sorrow.
Last time, an elder had saved their lives, but this time, they definitely wouldn't be so lucky. After all, the other party couldn't possibly be so idle as to follow them all the time, right?
"If worst comes to worst, I'll just self-detonate. I can't allow the other party to humiliate me like that!"
Knowing that the Blood-Eyed Vulture loved to inflict pain on its victims, Wu Kuang took a deep breath and was just about to self-detonate to preserve his dignity when he suddenly saw the two fellows who had been slacking off earlier walking out from the crowd.
When the ferocious vulture saw the two of them, a furious look appeared on its face. Just as it was about to make a move, the figure of the young man who had just walked out flickered, and he arrived before the vulture and kicked it in the face.
Bang!
The vulture's head fell to the ground, creating a deep gully.
Crackle!
The young man pounced on him, punching and kicking him.
A moment later, Vulture stood up again. There was no longer any viciousness in his blood-red eyes, only gentleness.
Back when he was dealing with the Mapleleaf Wolf King, his cultivation had only recovered to Saint 3-dan, so he might not have been a match for the latter. He could only rely on his soul energy to scare the latter away. However, in this short period of time, his cultivation had already recovered to Saint 4-dan, making it much easier for him to make a move.
"Let's go!"
Harrumphing coldly, the young man and the sickly adolescent boy leaped onto the back of the Blood-Eyed Wolf King before turning to the crowd and saying, "We still have some matters to attend to, so we'll be taking our leave now. We'll meet again if fate allows it!"
Right after saying those words, the Blood-Eyed Vulture flapped its wings and slowly rose into the air. In the blink of an eye, it had already disappeared into the horizon.
"…"
"He's that powerful?"
"I was just about to chase him away earlier …"
Everyone felt their throats turning dry as their eyes widened in shock.
All along, they had thought that those two fellows were just dragging them down. Never in their dreams could they have imagined that they would actually be so powerful!
To be able to subdue a Saint 5-dan beast with just a single beating … this was truly unheard of!
"The ones who chased the Wolf King away earlier … should be them!"
Wu Kuang suddenly exclaimed.
The crowd was rendered speechless.
In truth, as soon as the young man made a move, they had already made up their minds.
Who else could it be other than him?
The other party had just saved their lives, but they still refused to recognize his kindness and even tried to chase the other party away … This was truly an ingrate!
In an instant, they were filled with regret.
…
"I'll continue cultivating while you guide the way."
Paying no heed to the thoughts of the crowd, Zhang Xuan sat cross-legged on the back of the Blood-Eyed Vulture and instructed.
Naturally, the most urgent matter at hand was to recover his strength.
Wu Chen nodded as he steered the Blood-Eyed Vulture toward a certain direction.
Ten days later …
Exhausted, the Blood-Eyed Vulture lay weakly on the ground. Zhang Xuan tamed yet another Saint 9-dan beast before proceeding onward.
Another five days passed, and he managed to tame a Great Sage 2-dan beast.
"I've finally made a full recovery …"
Five days later, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief as he felt the overwhelming energy coursing through his body.
It had already been a month since he had committed suicide at the hands of Mingshi Tang. Under the nourishment of countless treasures and the Heaven's Path Divine Art, he had finally recovered to his peak. In fact, his strength had even grown stronger than before.
"The Library of Heaven's Path is still closed. What in the world happened?"
Zhang Xuan sent his Spiritual Perception over to the Library of Heaven's Path, only to find that the door was still tightly shut.
The Library of Heaven's Path had been upgraded in the past, but the longest it had lasted was three days. This time, it had been more than a month since the Library of Heaven's Path opened.
"Forget it. It just so happens that the Library of Heaven's Path is still closed. I should make use of this opportunity to push for a breakthrough to Great Sage 3-dan Intuitive Impulse!"
Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment, but he was still unable to make sense of what was going on. A glint flashed across his eyes.
He had already accumulated sufficient strength previously, but the Library of Heaven's Path had prevented him from pushing for a breakthrough to Intuitive Impulse realm. Now that the door was closed, it was a good opportunity for him to give it a try.
Closing his eyes, Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist and took out a droplet of Ancient Sage blood.
His cultivation was simply too deep at the moment. Ordinary medicinal herbs were no longer effective in raising his cultivation anymore. Only the blood droplet of Ancient Sage blood could help him advance swiftly.
The blood droplet of Ancient Sage 1-dan Bloodline Continuance realm he took out this time was only the blood droplet of an Ancient Sage 1-dan Bloodline Continuance realm cultivator. With a tap of his finger, the blood droplet of Ancient Sage blood flowed through his acupoints and was converted into pure energy. Taking a deep breath, he made up his mind.
Hong long!
Zhang Xuan's Aureate Body realm consummation cultivation immediately surged, and his zhenqi surged toward a higher realm.
While there was no corresponding cultivation technique for Great Sage cultivators, having gone through a mountain of books and an ocean of knowledge, his understanding of cultivation was already ingrained deep into his bones. He had also pushed for the Intuitive Impulse realm countless times, so he was extremely familiar with it.
In less than ten minutes, Zhang Xuan felt as if his dantian had exploded, and it expanded once more. He had already surpassed the Aureate Body realm and reached the Intuitive Impulse realm.
Upon reaching the Intuitive Impulse realm, he seemed to have become more sensitive to his surroundings, and he seemed to have gained a deeper understanding of the heavens.
Knowing that he would trigger a backlash from the Library of Heaven's Path if he tried to comprehend the heavens, Zhang Xuan did not dare to go overboard. Instead, he took out another droplet of Ancient Sage blood and consumed it.
Intuitive Impulse realm primary stage!
Intuitive Impulse realm intermediate stage!
Intuitive Impulse realm advanced stage!
…
Four hours later, Zhang Xuan had already reached Intuitive Impulse realm consummation!
It would be best if I can push for a breakthrough to Great Sage 4-dan Sempiternal realm as soon as possible!
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up in excitement. He was just about to take out another droplet of Ancient Sage blood to continue cultivating when his mind suddenly jolted. Following which, a slit appeared in the tightly shut Library of Heaven's Path.
The Library of Heaven's Path, which had been closed for more than a month, had actually completed its upgrade right after he reached Intuitive Impulse realm consummation!
