In the outer reaches of the Bloodthirsty Mushroom Forest, the once-rampant strange beasts had beco extrely scarce.
Li Qing spent considerable effort traversing hundreds of miles here, finally capturing three strange beasts with the strength of mid-First-Tier cultivators.
While these three beasts were far from enough to completely break the Restriction, Li Qing’s cultivation had advanced significantly, and his skill in Restriction techniques had also improved considerably.
He only needed these three beasts to create a gap, which he could then exploit to open a path to the summit of dicinal Field Peak.
With that, Li Qing sealed the three ferocious strange beasts within his spirit beast pouch and found Fan Tong in the midst of its tamorphosis.
Fan Tong lay prostrate on the ground, bathed in the crimson moonlight that gathered around it like a cocoon.
"Truly remarkable," Li Qing mused. "Just as strange beasts from the World of Eternal Night undergo mutation when brought to a world with spiritual energy, could it be that ordinary Demon beasts also undergo tamorphosis here?"
He found this highly plausible. Just as ordinary Demon beasts mutate after consuming Crimson Crystals, they would naturally undergo mutation upon entering the World of Eternal Night.
After all, the root cause of the Demon beast’s mutation was still the Red Moon Secret Power. Red Moon Secret Power absorbed naturally from the Red Moon was relatively gentler compared to the violent mutation caused by consuming a Crimson Crystal.
As Li Qing watched Fan Tong’s tamorphosis, which seed to require so ti, an idea suddenly popped into his mind.
The Jade Pendant that opened the secret realm gate could channel moonlight. Previously, it had also channeled the red moonlight of the World of Eternal Night. Could he use it to accelerate Fan Tong’s accumulation of red moonlight?
The mont this thought struck him, Li Qing felt it was worth a try.
He imdiately took out the Jade Pendant, infused it with spiritual energy, and activated it.
Buzz!
The red moonlight in the sky was drawn down, converging toward the Jade Pendant in Li Qing’s hand. It was clear that the red moonlight here was far more concentrated than in other areas.
"This Jade Pendant would probably be considered a remarkable secret treasure to the people of this world," Li Qing mused. "Its ability to gather red moonlight would likely be highly beneficial to those who cultivate Red Moon Secret Power and undergo mutations."
Li Qing experienced a mont of clarity within himself. He then continuously channeled moonlight to assist Fan Tong in its tamorphosis.
The crimson moonlight intensified, enveloping the area in a reddish veil that gave it an extraordinary appearance.
At the center of the phenonon, Fan Tong was completely encased in a cocoon of crimson light. This light was so dense it seed almost tangible.
Clearly, this thod was effective. Li Qing’s spiritual sense could distinctly perceive that Fan Tong’s tamorphosis had accelerated significantly.
Throughout this process, Li Qing kept a close watch on Fan Tong’s consciousness, fearing it might beco as savage and frenzied as the strange beasts of the World of Eternal Night.
However, he soon realized his concern was likely unnecessary. For reasons unknown, Fan Tong seed to have developed so resistance to the Red Moon Secret Power.
The usual thod of using crimson moonlight to temper its physical form no longer easily affected its consciousness, preventing it from descending into madness and chaos.
"Is this resistance due to Fan Tong having consud the Crimson Crystal, or is it because it’s a Demon beast?"
Li Qing hesitated to draw a definitive conclusion. Based on the details he observed with his spiritual sense, it was likely a combination of both factors.
Li Qing suddenly rembered sothing.
The World of Eternal Night had once been a world rich in spiritual energy. Where immortals cultivated, Demon beasts naturally road.
Demon beasts typically had incredibly long lifespans. What kind of mutations might these creatures undergo after bathing in the crimson moonlight for so many years?
A chill ran down Li Qing’s spine. He dared not dwell on the thought any further.
"Fourth-Tier Demon Beasts can live for several thousand years at a minimum. I find it hard to believe that none of them have survived until now."
"Moreover, cultivating the Red Moon Secret Power can also grant immortality..."
Li Qing swallowed hard, the implications growing increasingly terrifying.
Before, he had believed that once he achieved Foundation Establishnt, his Immortal Path cultivation would allow him to roam freely throughout this world.
Now, he realized that notion had been far too naive.
"Never let your guard down, no matter where you are. Pride and arrogance lead to ruin. Rember this well!"
As Li Qing spoke, Fan Tong’s tamorphosis neared completion.
But at that very mont, a surge of extre ferocity and savagery swept across the distant horizon.
Boom!
A strange beast has arrived, and it’s incredibly powerful—at least a Second-Tier Demonic Beast, possibly even more terrifying.
"Did it co here because of the moonlight? Damn it, how could I have forgotten about that?" Li Qing gasped, clenching his fists.
He glanced at Fan Tong, whose tamorphosis was nearing completion, and his scalp prickled with anxiety.
"Hurry up, you stubborn oaf! I’ll give you two more minutes, or I’m dragging you away myself!"
Through their ntal connection, Li Qing urged Fan Tong while constantly sizing up the ferocious strange beast rapidly approaching.
At this mont, on the horizon of the dark earth, a One-Eyed Giant Deer charged forward. Its antlers, a tangled mass of multiple prongs, looked utterly monstrous and terrifying.
With only one eye remaining, its bloodshot sclera radiated pure rage, as if it sought to destroy all life in the world, utterly devoid of reason.
It had sensed the dense Red Moon Secret Power emanating from Li Qing—like a shark slling blood in the ocean, it had triggered its primal instincts.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The giant deer’s massive hooves pounded the ground, the tremors growing increasingly violent, as if soone were beating a war drum ahead.
At this mont, the One-Eyed Giant Deer, charging towards them, had already spotted Li Qing and sensed the blood-red cocoon encasing Fan Tong on the ground.
Boom!
Its speed surged again, driven to a frenzy. Its four earth-shattering hooves left massive craters with each step.
Sweeping up a hundred-yard-wide cloud of dust, it accelerated its charge.
Li Qing, waiting for Fan Tong’s tamorphosis to complete, felt utterly insignificant. If this terrifying mutated Giant Deer got close, it would be a certain death sentence.
He could barely breathe, desperately calculating how long it would take the Giant Deer to reach them.
No more than five minutes. In less than five minutes, he and Fan Tong would be crushed beneath those thunderous iron hooves.
Factoring in the minute or so it would take him to prepare for interdinsional travel to the World of Eternal Night, Fan Tong had less than four minutes to complete its tamorphosis.
At this mont, Li Qing’s forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.
This was the first ti since his debut that he had faced such a life-or-death situation. His heart pounded in his chest.
Calm down! Calm down! Don’t panic!
Li Qing used every ounce of his willpower to steady his breathing and regain his composure.
Three minutes!
The One-Eyed Giant Deer had already closed in. Based on a rough estimate, this mutated Giant Deer King stood a staggering fifteen ters tall, even taller than the walls of many cities.
Two minutes!
Li Qing clenched his fists, already preparing for interdinsional travel. He could even sll the stench of the One-Eyed Giant Deer—a stench that reeked of blood and death.
This is a strange beast that has slaughtered countless lives!
One minute!
Li Qing placed one hand on the cocoon of light surrounding Fan Tong, beginning the preparations for interdinsional travel.
Regardless of whether Fan Tong’s tamorphosis was complete, he had to take it with him.
Boom!
Half a minute!
Ten seconds!
Five seconds!
Boom!
