"Ye Tian, wait here. I'll go take a look first," Lin Ling said, her expression serious. "If this is the High-Level Demon Beast Region, we need to leave as quickly as we can. The Demon Beasts here are incredibly fierce—far beyond what you can handle at your current level."
The mont she finished speaking, Lin Ling's figure flashed, and she was gone, leaving Ye Tian and the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python to stand guard and watch their surroundings.
"Ye Lin, do you think that Thunder Crow ca this way?" Ye Tian asked. "The Demon Beasts here are so powerful... I'd actually like to stay and train. It would be a huge boost to my strength."
"The Thunder Crow did co here," the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python replied. "I can still sll its scent, but it's already a long way off. It'll be difficult to catch up."
"Ye Lin, what level of Demon Beast can you handle with your current strength? This is important. It would be a disaster if we ran into a beast so powerful that even you couldn't defeat it." This was Ye Tian's biggest worry.
The Eight-winged Golden Scale Python didn't answer imdiately. It flapped its wings, circled the area once, and then returned to Ye Tian. "Boss, right now, I don't fear any Demon Beast without a Five Vein Attack Power. Of course, if there are too many of them, there's not much I can do.
"If I break through to the Third Wing, I wouldn't give any of the Demon Beasts here a second thought. Even those with Five Vein Attack Power would just beco my food. My main concern right now is your safety; nothing else matters."
"That's good to hear," Ye Tian said. "Our luck can't be *that* bad. Besides, Lin Ling is here, and she can take down Demon Beasts with Four Vein Attack Power. As for , I can still put up a fight against sothing with Three Vein Attack Power."
He was now at the Second Vein Seventh Layer Power Realm. With the thirty percent attack bonus from his War Dragon Heavenly Arm and the strength of his Dragon Spiritual Power, he should have no problem fighting a Demon Beast at the Three Vein Realm. 'Of course,' he thought, 'that only applies to one at the Initial Stage.'
It would be a different story if he faced a mid or Late Stage beast. Unless, that is, he used his War Dragon Heavenly Arm. In that case, killing a Demon Beast with Late-stage Three Vein Attack Power would be a trivial matter.
Soon, Lin Ling reappeared before Ye Tian, her face grim. "Ye Tian, this really is the High-Level Demon Beast Region. Our luck is sothing else, isn't it? We've managed to land right in the center of it. The common beasts here have the Attack Power of a Three Vein Martial Artist. For safety's sake, I think we should head back to the Ordinary Demon Beast Region!"
"Since we're already here, why go back?" Ye Tian countered. "I'm not afraid with you and Ye Lin around. Besides, I'm no pushover. Don't underestimate —I can kill a Demon Beast with Three Vein Attack Power myself."
"That's right! Since we're here, we should get so Elental Magic Crystals," the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python chid in. "I want to find so Thunder Elent Demon Beasts. I wonder if there are many Thunder Crows around here. The feeling of being zapped by their Thunder Power is just so... comfortable. I can't wait!"
Ye Tian and Lin Ling both shot the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python a look. 'This guy is a total freak,' they thought. 'Calling an attack from a Thunder Crow's Thunder Power "comfortable" is just absurd.'
"Alright then," Ye Tian said with a laugh. "Since Ye Lin wants to find a Thunder Attribute Demon Beast, let's humor him. Hopefully, he won't be disappointed!"
With that, Ye Tian and Lin Ling began moving cautiously through the dense forest. The Eight-winged Golden Scale Python flew just above Ye Tian's head, ready to protect him should anything unexpected happen. It was, after all, its duty.
There were plenty of Demon Beasts in the forest, but they all kept their distance upon seeing Ye Tian and Lin Ling, as if sensing they were not to be trifled with. Nearly an hour passed without them encountering a single beast they could actually fight.
"Ye Tian, be careful," Lin Ling suddenly warned. "There's a Single-Horned Demon Rhinoceros just ahead. It must be close to reaching a Four Vein Attack Power. We can't underestimate it."
In truth, Ye Tian's Perception Power was no weaker than Lin Ling's, and it had grown even stronger after his recent breakthrough. He had, of course, already spotted the Single-Horned Demon Rhinoceros; he just hadn't said anything.
In this region, he could barely handle a beast with Three Vein Attack Power; against a Four Vein beast, he'd have no choice but to flee. But with Lin Ling and Ye Lin by his side, he had nothing to fear.
Soon enough, the Single-Horned Demon Rhinoceros ca into view. Before they could even get close, it charged straight for Ye Tian. The area was relatively open with few trees, offering plenty of room to maneuver.
"Let take on this big guy!" Ye Tian said to Lin Ling. Without waiting for her to agree, his figure flashed, the Black Glaze Sword appeared in his hand, and he imdiately unleashed the Fifth Form of the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique.
Ye Tian put his full power into this attack. He wanted to see just how strong he had beco after breaking through to the Second Vein Seventh Layer. Otherwise, he would have just let Lin Ling kill the Single-Horned Demon Rhinoceros herself.
The Sword Aura emanating from the Black Glaze Sword instantly flared to a length of nearly three ters. Ye Tian slashed forward, and the air imdiately filled with a torrent of sword phantoms. Each phantom carried a potent Sword Qi attack, making the very space around them tremble violently.
As Ye Tian attacked the Single-Horned Demon Rhinoceros, it attacked him in return. Its horn began to glow with a red light, and when it was still over ten ters away, a powerful jet of fla erupted from it.
The fla was incredibly hot. The instant it appeared, the ambient temperature shot up. Most terrifying of all, the green grass on the ground visibly withered before bursting into flas just a few monts later.
Ye Tian felt as if he had been plunged into a sea of fire; his clothes nearly ignited. He was forced to retreat before his Sword Qi could even reach the Single-Horned Demon Rhinoceros.
"This Single-Horned Demon Rhinoceros is way too strong! What kind of fla is that? It doesn't seem ordinary at all!" Ye Tian exclaid, dodging to the side.
"It's definitely not an ordinary fla," Lin Ling said at once. "Didn't you notice the blue tint? That's Blue Glaze Fire. It's considered a type of Anomalous Fire, though it's the weakest one on the list. You're no match for it. Let handle this!"
"Stay back, both of you," the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python interjected. "Let deal with this little guy!"
The Single-Horned Demon Rhinoceros was about the size of an Earth Bear, weighing nearly a thousand pounds, yet the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python called it a "little guy." What a badass.
It imdiately flew into the air. Purple lightning crackled from the feelers on its head, and then a thumb-thick bolt of violet electricity shot toward the Single-Horned Demon Rhinoceros.
Ye Tian had no choice but to circulate his Dragon Spiritual Power to resist the unbearable heat. This was *after* he had broken through to the Divine Dragon Battle Body. 'If I hadn't made that breakthrough,' he wondered, 'how long could I have even lasted in this heat…'
