Free Web NovelChapter 43: Entering the Inner Ring
Tang Yin felt a small rise in his cultivation, at this pace, he would reach the 9th stage of the Spirit Channelling Realm within 2 months. But a crazy idea had bloomed inside his head. free𝑤ebnovel.com
Instead of killing High-tier Rank 1 Demonic Beasts, he would amass them into his soldiers and have them fight Low-tier Rank 2 Demonic Beasts. If he could absorb the corpse and beast souls of a few Low-tier Rank 2 Demonic Beasts, his cultivation would reach the 9th stage in the blink of an eye.
Tang Yin spent the next few days visiting the territories of various High-tier Rank 1 Demonic Beasts. With Xiao Fei, they obediently followed behind Tang Yin like guardian beasts. He had amassed 7 High-tier Rank 1 Demonic Beasts, it would be enough to fight against a Low-tier Rank 2 Demonic Beasts within the Inner Ring.
Tang Yin looked at the map he had, on it listed a few territories belonging to 4 Low-tier Rank 2 Demonic Beasts at the periphery of the Inner Ring. Tang Yin and the small Xiao Fei on his shoulder led the 7 huge beasts behind him and marched towards a territory belonging to a Low-tier Rank 2 Fiendish Lion.
Before long, Tang Yin stepped into the Inner Ring followed by the 7 huge beasts. 2 of the beasts behind Tang Yin namely a red boar and a large ape growled and hissed at each other in a hostile manner, clearly, these 2 beasts had a grudge in the past. Xiao Fei let out a chirp, and the ape and boar immediately lowered their heads and let out low whimpers.
Tang Yin patted Xiao Fei’s head and carried on into the Fiendish Lion’s territory. The Fiendish Lion was slumbering on a large boulder, it suddenly opened its eyes and glared in the direction of Tang Yin and the 7 beasts with a fierce gaze. There was no way for Tang Yin to discreetly approach the Fiendish Lion with 7 huge beasts, so he decided to face it head-on.
Xiao Fei chirped, and the 7 High-tier Rank 1 Demonic Beasts spread out and surrounded the Low-tier Rank 2 Fiendish Lion from all directions.
Once the Fiendish Lion saw Xiao Fei on Tang Yin’s shoulder, a great struggle appeared within its eyes, but it had its own pride. It would not submit to the chick; Xiao Fei’s strength was not large enough to boss it around in its eyes.
Xiao Fei chirped once more; the 7 Demonic Beasts charged towards the Fiendish Lion at the same time. The Fiendish Lion could kill a High-tier Rank 1 Demonic Beast with a slap, but 7 High-tier Rank 1 Demonic Beasts was another story.
The first to reach the Fiendish Lion was a speed-type Demonic Beast, a 3-Tailed Lynx. It did not fight the Fiendish Lion head-on but circled around it, soon the 6 other Demonic Beasts arrived. They encircled the Fiendish Lion and attacked it from all sides, the Fiendish Lion sustained a minor wound each time the 7 beasts attacked. The wounds accumulated until the Fiendish Lion was standing within a large pool of its own blood and was panting harshly.
of the 7 High-tier Rank 1 Demonic Beasts had died, and the other 5 had sustained injuries of various degrees. The Fiendish Lion roared for the last time in its life and collapsed; it had died due to excessive blood loss.
Tang Yin walked up to the corpse of the Fiendish Lion but stopped outside the pool of blood. He sat down cross-legged and activated the Heaven Devouring Abyss Martial Spirit, and a large black vortex swirling with black and red lightning appeared.
The Martial Spirit absorbed the Fiendish Lion’s soul, blood, flesh, and bones within a few breaths. Tang Yin felt his cultivation improve by a large amount. From his calculations, he deduced he needed to devour 3 more Low-tier Rank 2 Demonic Beasts to reach the 9th stage of the Spirit Channelling Realm.
Tang Yin did not absorb the Demonic Beats Core of the Fiendish Lion though, it was worth a lot of Low-grade Spirit Stones. He swiftly stored it in his storage ring under the greedy gazes of the 5 beasts.
Consuming a Demonic Beast Core was harmful to a cultivator, but a very beneficial meal to a Demonic Beast. If a Demonic Beast devoured a Demonic Beast Core, its strength would increase by leaps and bounds.
Tang Yin brought out the map once more, he looked at the nearest Low-tier Rank 2 Demonic Beast. The nearest Rank 2 Demonic Beast was a Metal-Armoured Rhino. Tang Yin did not hesitate to charge towards its territory. The 5 injured beasts followed behind him due to a chirp from Xiao Fei.
minutes later, he arrived before the Metal-Armoured Rhino. The Inner Ring was smaller compared to the Middle Ring, therefore there were fewer Demonic Beasts within the Inner Ring due to the fierce competition.
The Metal-Armoured Rhino was peacefully eating berries from a shrub. On its metallic armour-like skin were deep scars. Clearly, it had fought long and hard to possess its current territory.
Tang Yin did not do any scouting, he faced it head-on like the Fiendish Lion. The Metal-Armoured Rhino seemed to notice Tang Yin and the 5 beasts, it let out a low threatening roar. free𝑤ebnovel.com
Tang Yin did not give a damn about the rhino’s threats, he looked towards Xiao Fei. Xiao Fei let out a chirp, the 5 injured beasts rushed forward into a life-and-death battle against the Metal-Armour Rhino.
The 5 beasts used the same tactic they used against the Fiendish Lion, encircle and attack. 30 minutes passed; the result left Tang Yin surprised. The Metal-Armoured Rhino was still alive, it was hanging onto a thread of life. The other 5 beasts had all died, their corpses were littered all over the ground.
