Chapter 51: Future Plan
A large black vortex imbued with black and red lightning spun around for a second before vanishing. In the place where the centre of the vortex used to be stood Tang Yin, he held a Demonic Beast Core in his hands.
On his way to the depths of the Inner Ring, he had met many Low-tier Rank 2 Demonic Beasts, he had not spared a single one. Tang Yin continued his journey, the Heaven Piercing Gaze was constantly active. Tang Yin did not dare to be careless; he could run into a High-tier Rank 2 Demonic Beast at any moment within the Inner Ring.
Before long, Tang Yin stopped. With the Heaven Piercing Gaze, he could see a large bird up ahead. The bird was not flying but arched upon the crown of a tree, he could sense that it was a Mid-tier Rank 2 Demonic Beast.
The Demonic Beast was 7 feet large, it had brown features and a sharp beak. The bird looked like a larger version of an eagle. Tang Yin decided to skirt around it, the bird was an airborne beast. Therefore, he did not have a method to prevent it from escaping. He would rather find a land Demonic Beast that could not escape his clutches. If the bird escaped, it would harbour a grudge, Tang Yin would rather not create a future problem for himself.
Tang Yin searched for 10 minutes before he finally found an ideal target. His target was a Mid-tier Rank 2 Stone Ape. The Stone Ape was covered in dried-up mud which made it look as if it were made of stone, that was where its name was derived from. The Stone Ape was a Demonic Beast that alternated between defence and strength, its speed was its only weakness.
Tang Yin knew this, he had read about the Stone Ape before. Tang Yin did not plan a sneak attack, this time he walked straight into the Stone Apes’ line of sight. He roared at the Stone Ape in a challenging tone. freewebnøvel.coɱ
The Stone Ape roared back at Tang Yin with endless pride and bloodlust, it rushed at him. Tang Yin did not charge at the incoming Stone Ape but retreated, he ran around in circles with the Stone Ape hot on his tail. An hour passed like this, Tang Yin was not tired, but the ape was very exhausted. The Stone Apes’ frustrated roars reverberated endlessly during the past hour.
Tang Yin stopped and turned around, he charged towards the Stone Ape. The ape was delighted, with madness it mustered an even faster speed and reached for Tang Yin with its rocky hands.
Tang Yin sneered, he charged the Abyssal Sword with Abyss Qi and met the incoming hand with the Abyssal Sword. The Stone Ape sensed the danger and tried to retract its hand, but it was too late.
A loud boom reverberated throughout the area and a black light spread out for a second before vanishing. Tang Yin stumbled back with a pale face; blood was trickling out of the corner of his mouth.
The Stone Ape appeared from the dust that was kicked up during that brief clash. Its whole right arm was gone, and some of its shoulder and right rib cage were also torn open. Blood rushed out like a river from the right side of the Stone Ape.
Tang Yin was stunned, he had used half of the Abyss Qi stored within his Qi Sea. Yet, the Stone Ape was not dead, it was only gravely wounded. It could still display half of its combat strength. fгeewebnovёl.com
Tang Yin did not give the Stone Ape any time to think, he dashed towards it as quickly as he could. In the blink of an eye, he arrived before the Stone Ape once again. He poured all the remaining Abyss Qi within his Qi Sea into the Abyssal Sword; the Stone Ape did not have enough speed or time to dodge.
Fear appeared in its eyes, and its battle spirit was instantly extinguished. The Stone Ape took a defensive stance, the Abyssal Sword arrived in the next instant. Another loud boom echoed in the surrounding area, with the quick appearance and disappearance of a black light from the centre of impact.
Tang Yin did not stumble back like last time since the Stone Ape did not attack but defended. But more blood was visible at the corner of his lips, the same could not be said for the Stone Ape.
The Stone Ape had both its left and right arms obliterated, its torso was also in a bloody mess. The Stone Ape fell to its knees and collapsed with a bang. Tang Yin activated his Martial Spirit to Devour the Stone Ape, the next second all his injuries were healed after absorbing the flesh and bones of the Stone Ape.
He noticed his cultivation had increased by a small chunk, he knew if some of what he had devoured of the Stone Ape was not directed to heal his injuries, his cultivation would have risen even more.
Tang Yin did not Devour the Demonic Beast Core of the Stone Ape but stored it away in his storage ring. He could feel that if he devoured a few dozen more Mid-tier Rank 2 Demonic Beasts, he would reach the peak of the 3rd stage of the Physique Transformation Realm and could undergo reconstruction.
Although Tang Yin had lots of Abyss Qi stored within his Martial Spirit, he did not want to waste it but instead accumulate even more Abyss Qi while simultaneously reaching the peak of the 3rd stage by devouring Demonic Beasts. This way he could also have a better understanding of his own strength while gaining a huge amount of experience in battle.
He would kill 4 birds with one stone, this was his future plan. He would stay in the Inner Ring of the Demonic Beast Mountain for 2 months and kill all the Demonic Beasts he found that were below High-tier Rank 2. Once he reached the peak of the 3rd stage and went through reconstruction and advanced to the 4th stage, he would return to Maple Leaf City.
