In the Hundred Break Mountain Range that was enclosed by ancient trees which towered into the sky, there was a large area that appeared somewhat abnormal compared to its surroundings. This area was too quiet, unlike the other areas which were surrounded by the cries of birds and beasts.
“My Lord, we’ve already sent someone to investigate. It’s quite probable that a half-step Thousand Year King had been born here.”
A group of less than 100 people dressed in completely black robes scattered among the area. Each person emanated extremely dense, savage auras, as though they were all battle asuras.
At this time, one of the black-robed men was kneeling on one knee before a man.
“Interesting, a low grade Demonic Beast like the gangster rabbits can actually birth a half-step Thousand Year King.”
The man was slender and tall. His right hand looked like a black dragon’s claw, and faint wisps of smoke rose from it.
Shui Yuntian smiled lightly as a look of interest flashed across his eyes. Throughout the years, this was the first time he’d ever heard of a Demonic Beast like the gangster rabbit breaking through its own bloodline shackles. But now, a gangster rabbit that approached the Thousand Year King level of strength had appeared. It was difficult to tell others not to overthink a little.
Shui Yuntian opened his mouth lightly. “Send my orders, slaughter them all with full force,” he said, his voice warm and friendly.
“Yes!”
Following the order, numerous black shadows fleeted into the woods, disappearing from sight.
“Keke, this is quite exciting. I’m anticipating just what kind of lucky opportunity it was that could let a Demonic Beast of such low grade bloodline improve so quickly.”
Shui Yuntian narrowed his eyes. If it was just one extraordinary gangster rabbit, he would naturally not be interested in it, but this situation was different. The number of gangster rabbits at the Fourth Layer of the Hundred Year realm numbered in the thousands!
Inside the mountain range, Bei Feng was currently chowing down large amounts of meat, swallowing them ravenously into his stomach.
His strength had increased like a rocket, and his appetite had increased alongside it. He could even eat a whole Fourth Layer Hundred Year realm level Demonic Beast now!
“It’s about time now; we can leave this place.” Having eaten and drank to his fill, Bei Feng stood up and looked into the distance.
“Yes!” Lu Bu and the rest were naturally agreeable. The group’s gazes were fervent as they looked at Bei Feng.
The feat of improving his strength so massively in the span of a few months had caused this group of people to admire him from their hearts.
Bei Feng turned his head and looked at this place again, mentally taking note of it before taking everyone to leave with him. His new fishing point had been fixed at his place, so he would naturally return in the future.
Right now, he was only looking for some opponents to practice against. Along the way, everyone’s speed was quick as they shuttled through the trees like ghosts. The scenery passed rapidly beside them.
“Hou!”
A huge multicolored tiger in the path of the group suddenly reared its body and roared at them.
“Calamity!”
The group did not even slow down as Bei Feng pointed out at the huge tiger from a far distance away.
A black fog appeared behind his back, and a pair of dark-red eyes shone through the fog. It was difficult to see the true form of the figure hidden behind the fog.
As Bei Feng pointed out, an invisible ripple descended from the sky, soundlessly enveloping the huge tiger.
“Hou?”
After the ripple sank into it, the huge tiger jumped like a cat with its tail stepped on as its fur stood on its ends, and its huge eyes looked around with fear and uncertainty.
Bei Feng’s speed did not drop, and he didn’t make any other gestures. It was as if the Third Layer Demonic Beast before them did not exist at all.
The multicolored tiger growled lowly, preparing to attack again. Although it could feel that this group of people was not easy to provoke, it was angry that they had disregarded its warnings and still dared to barge into its territory.
Its body began to arch like a large bow, and its spine was raised as it pounced towards Bei Feng’s group!
At this time, there was only a distance of 300 meters between the tiger and the group. This distance was merely a single leap away with the strength of the large tiger.
“Hou!”
A dense aura of power surged out of the tiger’s body. Tiger Demonic Beasts were stronger than other animal type Demonic Beasts by a fair amount, and with the explosive strength of this eight meter long tiger, a large pit was directly blasted into the ground as it soared into the air!
At this time, the huge tiger was completely airborne as it shot towards the group. The powerful aura that it felt from Bei Feng caused it to narrow its eyes.
“Squeak!”
At this time, a one meter tall brown squirrel was sitting high up on a tree branch, hugging an acorn as large as a human skull and nibbling on it happily. But the sudden roar of the tiger caused it to jump with fright, directly dropping from the tree!
The squirrel’s eyes grew wet as it desperately clutched the acorn. It was unwilling to let go of the acorn, but the ground was growing closer and closer by the second. For the sake of its little life, the squirrel ultimately decided to abandon the acorn, and with a spread of its patagium, it glided like a bat and soared away.
The acorn continued falling, thunking against the huge tiger’s back. This bit of weight was naturally not worth a mention to the multicolored tiger. It only glanced at the stupid acorn and completely ignored it. Its entire attention was focused on the target before it as it readjusted its body in midair.
As it soared through the air, the huge multicolored tiger just so happened to be in the path of the flying squirrel, and the two could not halt their bodies as they collided!
The squirrel’s heart almost burst in fright as a huge tiger suddenly appeared before it. There was clearly nothing below it a mere second ago, but all of a sudden, a huge ugly tiger was right in front of it! Sweet heavens, this baby was nearly scared to death! In a moment of panic, the squirrel brandished its sharp claws and scratched at the huge tiger!
Again, the claws just so happened to land on a wound on the fleshy soft nose where the tiger had been injured before. The injury on its nose had only just closed recently, but with this savage scratch, it was torn open yet again!
“Hou!”
The huge tiger competely had not placed this annoying squirrel that wasn’t even a Demonic Beast in its eyes. But in that moment, the fierce tiger was almost reduced to tears by the pain induced by the stupid squirrel clinging to its nose!
Bei Feng’s group had caused the tiger to feel too great a level of stress. Its attention was entirely focused on its target, so how would it have guessed that a squirrel would suddenly drop from the sky? And wasn’t it just an acorn that had hit it? How did it turn into a squirrel!
“Peng!”
The multicolored tiger suddenly floundered in midair, its focus completely lost. The nose was one of the most fatal weakness of the multicolored tiger. It was simply too sensitive, and that kind of pain and the level of sensitivity far exceeded most other parts of its body. Just like that, the bulky body of the tiger completely bypassed Bei Feng, smashing heavily into a huge tree with its upper body completely stuck on its branches! At the same time, a squirrel could be seen scurrying away madly from the scene.
A moment later, one of the large vines around the tree moved, and following that, countless sharp vine tendrils suddenly stabbed into the tiger’s body, injecting some kind of green fluid into it!
A few minutes later, the vine began to suck vigorously, and a large amount of greenish red liquid constantly flowed into the vine’s body. The tiger’s huge body deflated and dried rapidly, finally leaving only a complete set of tiger skin.
“This is the ability of the Fox of Natural and Human Calamity’s innate power? I can only control up to the Grade 3 level of calamity, and a Third Layer Hundred Year realm Demonic Beast died just like that?”
The group following behind Bei Feng looked over from a large distance away and felt their hair standing up on its ends. Such a death was truly too miraculous and coincidental!
“What kind of ability is this? There wasn’t any blood Qi ripples nor mental power fluuctuations. Just by pointing at the Demonic Beast, it went and died by itself!” Lu Bu’s heart was in a state of turmoil.
With his cultivation at the Fourth Layer of the Hundred Year realm, he actually could not see what kind of ability the family head had used to kill the Demonic Beast!
Everybody felt a chill run down their spines. The unknown was the most dreadful thing in the world. A Demonic Beast had just up and died, and there was no way to easily explain how it’d happened. Everyone felt as if something was hiding beside them.
However, no one went to ask Bei Feng about the matter. Everybody knew that this was not just a simple lucky occurence, and in that moment, their heads were lowered more than usual as they feared to look at Bei Feng.
‘Little fox…’ Bei Feng did not speak to his followers at all as a heaviness loomed in his heart. The skill he’d used just now was the Third Layer of the Heavenly Laws Embodiment Technique’s Dhama Manifestation, the Fox of Natural and Human Calamity Dharma Manifestation!
This dharma manifestation was extremely unique. It didn’t use up any blood Qi energy or mental power. Instead, it used the dharma manifestation to connect with the heavens and earth, calling down an inconceiveable type of energy to kill the target!
This was the Fox of Natural and Human Calamity’s innate spirit power!
‘This is like a certain type of rule. The tiger wanting to kill me was the cause, and me using this spirit power was the effect.’
Bei Feng felt as if his eyes had been covered with a layer of mist, causing him to be unable to see clearly.
After the little fox’s spirit power was transferred into his body, he could wield the power as he pleased. As long as anything showed any hostile intentions towards him, he could acivate the spirit power to cause the hostile party to suffer the bitter fruit of their own making.
It wasn’t like the little fox’s ability, which would only take effect when something came into contact with it. And the skill was not as unstable and random as the little fox’s.
There was a possiblity to activate a Grade 1 calamity, or even a Grade 9 calamity based on luck!
However, Bei Feng could at most control the ability to unleash up to a Grade 3 calamity as of now. The advantage of this was that he could direct the power as he wished, and there wouldn’t be any accidental casualties.
The bad thing was that the little fox’s innate skill could not properly display its full strength in his hands. It could only have a diminished effect, and the potency of the technique was only a tenth of what it had been when the little fox used it!
If it was the little fox itself activating the Grade 9 calamity curse, that was something that would even affect True Dragons and God Beasts! But if it was Bei Feng, even if he managed to learn to control the same Grade 9 calamity curse, it wouldn’t be able to hurt mystical creatures of that level.
‘The Grade 3 Calamity Curse only has a minor effect against Thousand Year King level existences. The little fox’s control over the innate skill is different from mine from the fundamental laws! The laws for supporting innate spirit power is different, and all I’m doing is borrowing its power. It’s not truly mine. Whereas for the little fox, it’d completely grasped the skill! The strength that it’d controlled was an entire large level stronger than the laws!’ Bei Feng’s soul was strong, meaning that his comprehension strength had improved greatly as well. With just a bit of thinking, he understood the difference between him and the little fox.
Bei Feng did not look down on this spirit power ability. It might not be useful against powerful existences for the moment, but it was a type of spirit power that could grow continuously. The aid that such a skill would bring him would be extremely great!
Only, with regards to the laws, even with Bei Feng’s stronger comprehension ability, he still couldn’t understand anything about it. It was simply too profound and complex for him right now.
If this kind of spirit power ability was applied in a fight where two sides were equally matched, it’d only require a single mistake from the opponent to obtain victory!
‘I have the Giant Bear Dharma Manifestation, Dragon Beast Dharma Manifestation, and the Fox of Natural and Human Calamity Dharma Manifestation. The next one shall be the Eagle Form! After I form an Eagle Dharma Manifestation, it’ll complement my Giant Bear Dharma Manifestation, amplifying the power of my Eagle Bear Strike!’ Bei Feng thought as he pondered for a moment on his next steps while he led the group onwards.
Along the way, all the Demonic Beasts in their path fell into a great disaster of bad luck. Bei Feng tested the usage of the Fox of Natural and Human Calamity Dharma Manifestation on them, and each of the Demonic Beasts died in all kinds of strange manners and weird circumstances.
As he experimented, Bei Feng realized that he could only use the Grade 3 Calamity Curse three times a day. Even Fourth Layer Hundred Year realm level Demonic Beasts would end up in an extremely miserable state when hit by the Grade 3 Calmity Curse!
