The Ancient God's Cave Mansion was located in the depths of the Desolate Ancient Forest. In the vicinity, there were countless powerful monsters. The weakest one was at the Spirit Severing Stage. There were also monsters at the Combination Stage and Crossing Calamity Stage every once in a while.
Only monsters at the Combination Stage were suitable for Xiao Lingyu to fight alone. Those at the Spirit Severing Stage were too weak. Monsters at the Crossing Calamity Stage were a little stronger for Xiao Lingyu. After all, he just came out to experience. He didn't want to use the Phoenix Feather or the Icy Soul Heavenly Silkworm.
The depths of the Desolate Ancient Forest should be considered a very quiet place. The Demonic Beasts here were usually dormant, and there were very few fierce conflicts between the powerful Demonic Beasts. Usually, they would not interact with each other, and they would all stay in their own caves to cultivate.
Compared with the cultivation of human cultivators, the cultivation of monsters was more difficult. Before they turned into human form, they couldn't refine and use magic weapons and elixirs. They could only rely on their own years of continuous cultivation to make progress. Under normal circumstances, if they didn't have good opportunities, their speed of progress was very slow. Fortunately, they had a far longer lifespan than human cultivators, so they had more time to cultivate.
Human cultivators could use all the resources in the vast Cultivation World to help their own cultivation. Only in the late Crossing Calamity Stage would there be a heavenly tribulation test. After passing it, they could expect to reach the Immortal World. However, monsters had to go through the transformation heavenly tribulation. When they reached the late Crossing Calamity Stage, they also had a heavenly tribulation. The heavenly tribulation of monsters was usually a little stronger than that of human cultivators.
At the same cultivation level, human cultivators had an advantage over demonic beasts in terms of magic arts and magic treasures. On the other hand, demonic beasts had the advantage in terms of the quality of their fleshly bodies, their speed, and their strength. Thus, the cultivators of the two races at the same cultivation level were actually on par.
Xiao Lingyu was at the peak of the late Spirit Severing Stage. He was only one step away from the Combination Stage. However, his chaotic power was slightly insufficient, but the quality of his chaotic energy was extremely high. With the help of the best spiritual weapon and the chaotic seal, he had no problem challenging monsters at the Combination Stage. Even if he couldn't defeat monsters at the late Combination Stage, he could still leave calmly.
However, ever since Xiao Lingyu arrived at this area where the trees were obviously taller and greener than the other areas, his heart had been pounding wildly. He could vaguely sense a powerful aura. In addition, this place was much quieter than the other areas, which made him feel very dangerous.
Even the snake at the Body Integration Stage seemed to be a little uncomfortable, as if it was very wary of the potential dangers here.
Xiao Lingyu originally thought that there was a Transcending Tribulation Stage or even a Dacheng Stage Monster Beast here. Just as he was about to leave with the Chasing Star, the Monster Beast had already killed its way over.
What made Xiao Lingyu slightly relieved was that the other party was not at the Crossing Calamity Stage or the Dacheng Stage, but at the Combination Body Stage, and it was only at the middle stage of the Combination Body Stage. The most important thing was that this monster did not look very powerful.
This monster beast was not big in size. It looked like a leopard, but its whole body was covered with black and white spots. Strangely, there was a pair of silver wings at the waist of this leopard, and it also had a pair of blood-red eyes.
Xiao Lingyu could be considered to have read a lot of ancient books about the Cultivation World. In the five years that he had just arrived at the Feiyu Continent, he had constantly listened to Jiang Lanyue talk about some strange things and common sense in the Cultivation World. However, he had never heard of such a magical leopard monster beast.
It was only at the middle stage of the Combination Body Stage, but it could have a place in the depths of the Desolate Ancient Forest, which was full of powerhouses. It could be seen that this leopard was not as simple as its cultivation seemed.
"I am not an ordinary cultivator. Since everyone is not simple and we have bumped into each other, let's compete to see who is better!"
Xiao Lingyu had the Phoenix Feather, the Icy Soul Heavenly Silkworm, and the Combination Body Stage snake. Naturally, he was not afraid, even if he had a warning in his heart.
The leopard did not give Xiao Lingyu too much time to prepare. It stared at Xiao Lingyu for a while. Although it was a little afraid of the Chaotic Aura on Xiao Lingyu's body, its strength and pride made it resolutely pounce on him.
The leopard's wings flashed with silver light, and it directly appeared in front of Xiao Lingyu as if it had teleported.
Before Xiao Lingyu could get into position, one of the leopard's front claws had already scratched his shoulder.
The shield formed by the Chaotic Aura did not block this claw and directly shattered. The sharp claws scratched a few bloody marks on Xiao Lingyu's shoulder, and fresh blood flowed out.
Xiao Lingyu hurriedly dodged a few steps to the side, but he was a little shocked in his heart. This was because the leopard's speed was really too fast, and the attack power of its sharp claws was also quite strong. If his body had not transformed once, that scratch just now would have been enough to tear off his entire arm.
"It seems that it is a demonic beast that is good at speed, but its speed is really too fast. I'm afraid that ordinary Tribulation Stage demonic beasts would not be able to compare to it. Just this speed alone is enough to establish a foothold in the depths of the Desolate Ancient Forest."
Xiao Lingyu had a little understanding of the leopard. The contempt in his heart completely disappeared, and it was replaced with a serious expression.
The leopard's first attack was just a test. After the test, it did not quickly rush over again. Instead, it squinted its blood-red eyes and stared at Xiao Lingyu for a while, as if it was trying to figure out the situation, or as if it was looking for a flaw or waiting for an opportunity.
This was a demonic beast that was good at close combat. It was very agile and also very quick-witted. It was completely different from ordinary demonic beasts that were easily angered and liked to fight recklessly.
Whoosh …
The leopard moved again. Its two hind legs fiercely stomped on the mountain behind it, and it directly stomped that hard and huge mountain rock into a pile of rubble. Its body was like a silver sword, and it still pounced over at a speed that Xiao Lingyu could not prepare for.
In the next moment, the defensive shield that Xiao Lingyu had just set up was announced to be broken, and an intense pain spread from his neck to his entire body.
On Xiao Lingyu's bronze-colored neck, three deep cuts suddenly appeared, and blood immediately spurted out from his blood vessels.
If the blood vessels on the neck of an ordinary person were cut, they would probably die on the spot. However, for a cultivator, this was only a superficial wound, and it was not a big deal. Xiao Lingyu only needed to circulate his cultivation slightly, and the cuts on his arms and neck disappeared without a trace. However, the blood that had flowed out previously had already seeped into his clothes.
The snake was still hiding in Xiao Lingyu's sleeve. It had been using its mind to contact Xiao Lingyu, wanting to come out and help, but Xiao Lingyu had rejected it.
Although the leopard was extremely fast, its cultivation level was at the Body Integration Stage. Xiao Lingyu felt that he could still deal with it. He could not rely on other people's help whenever he encountered a little difficulty or setback. It was most reliable to rely on oneself for everything.
The leopard should be an expert hunter. At this moment, it had taken Xiao Lingyu as its prey. When leopards were hunting, if they did not have absolute strength, they would not rush up to their prey and eat it. They would enjoy the process of hunting, and play with their prey in the palm of their hands. They would continuously test and attack until their prey was physically and mentally exhausted and panicked. At that time, they would use all their strength to end the hunt with a thunderous force.
Xiao Lingyu was aware of the leopard's habits, so even though he had been injured twice, he was not too anxious.
Of course, the main reason why he was not anxious was that he had something to rely on. He had at least two methods that were enough to deal with this leopard. However, his cultivation level was not as high as the leopard's, so he could not lock on to it. Even if he used a powerful immortal weapon like the phoenix feather, he might not be able to hit it.
If an ordinary cultivator faced this leopard, they would definitely run for their lives if they could not defeat it. However, this leopard wanted this effect. Once you started to run, it would follow you like a shadow. Because its speed was faster than yours, you would not be able to escape at all. It would also not give you a chance to use a flying Dharma treasure.
However, Xiao Lingyu did not run. Instead, he made provocative gestures at the leopard, constantly waving his hands to ask it to come again.
The more Xiao Lingyu acted like this, the more the leopard did not dare to act rashly. It narrowed its eyes and stared at Xiao Lingyu, seeming a little hesitant and confused. It did not know that Xiao Lingyu was very confident.
Whoosh!
Wrapped in a strong wind, the leopard was silent for a moment before it charged again.
A silver light flashed past Xiao Lingyu's body. Xiao Lingyu's defensive barrier was broken again. The clothes around his waist were torn, and blood flowed out from several wounds.
This time, it was the same as before. Xiao Lingyu was still unable to react in time.
However, Xiao Lingyu could not let the leopard continue to attack like this. He had already begun to form seals. Red and blue chaotic energy intertwined at his fingertips, and a circle of Yin-Yang fish slowly appeared.
The dangerous aura that seeped out from the Yin-Yang fish alerted the leopard. It did not dare to give Xiao Lingyu more time to prepare the seals, and immediately pounced again.
A strong wind swept past, and a few bloody wounds appeared on Xiao Lingyu's face. However, his Chaotic Seal was already prepared.
However, the leopard did not stop after this attack. Instead, it circled around Xiao Lingyu and flapped its wings continuously. Xiao Lingyu could only see the silver light flashing around his body. Even if he used his spiritual awareness to scan his surroundings, he could not lock onto the leopard.
Even if he was prepared to counterattack, he could not do anything. This was the most frustrating feeling.
Xiao Lingyu also tried to find the leopard's weakness. Unfortunately, he had not found anything so far.
The leopard could not keep moving. When it reached Xiao Lingyu's back, it suddenly charged forward and stretched its two sharp claws towards the back of Xiao Lingyu's head.
"I knew you would come like this!"
Xiao Lingyu did not turn around. He waved his hand and sent the Chaotic Seal behind him.
However, what he did not expect was that even though the leopard was charging forward at high speed and was in midair, it instantly turned around. In a flash, it was beside Xiao Lingyu and broke through Xiao Lingyu's defensive barrier. At the same time, Xiao Lingyu's shoulder was bleeding profusely.
When the leopard's body turned into a silver light and landed in front of him, Xiao Lingyu's Chaotic Seal exploded. However, it exploded behind him and did not hurt the leopard at all.
It was agile and changeable. It was as fast as a flash, but its attack methods were similar to that of ordinary demonic beasts. Its attack power was not very strong either. At least, it could not compare to a demonic beast in the Tribulation Transcendence stage. Xiao Lingyu had already figured out most of the leopard's characteristics.
Since its attack power was not very strong, Xiao Lingyu did not need to be too afraid. He began to move and deal with the leopard.
However, the result was that he could not touch the leopard at all. On the other hand, the leopard was able to hurt his flesh every time.
