Chapter 5: "The Essence Master"
Chapter 5: "The Essence Master"
The Wolf Sovereign charging towards them was almost tangible with its dense Demonic Aura, exuding an extremely ferocious aura.
A normal modern person, faced with a rampaging Wolf Sovereign, would be considered a hero if they could control their trembling legs and not shake. At this moment, Chen Qiu's breathing became rapid, barely under control.
His body trembled slightly.
An indescribable fear surged in his heart, his mind becoming extremely hazy, and everything around him seemed to slow down.
Just then—
"Roar!"
Accompanied by a shrill roar, the Wolf Sovereign burst out of the forest with a startling aura, charging straight at Chen Qiu. Perhaps it was because Chen Qiu had killed too many wolf demons, as the Wolf Sovereign locked its target directly on Chen Qiu.
"Halt!"
A talisman appeared in Fat Dragon's hand, and as Essence Energy surged into it, the talisman instantly ignited, shooting into the Wolf Sovereign's body. The Wolf Sovereign's movements visibly slowed down.
"Slash!"
Fat Dragon drew out another talisman, and after it ignited, a blade aura composed of Essence Energy appeared out of thin air, slashing straight towards the Wolf Sovereign. As blood splattered, a deep and horrifying wound appeared on the Wolf Sovereign's back, revealing bone and continuously gushing blood.
Without giving the Wolf Sovereign much time to react, Fat Dragon roared to psych himself up, raised his longsword, and charged forward. He stabbed deep into the wound, causing the Wolf Sovereign to roar and struggle in intense pain.
Fortunately, it was only a Qi Condensation Stage Level 6 demon beast.
Apart from having greater physical strength than the two of them, it didn't know any spells.
Its fighting style was still that of a wild beast, relying solely on physical strength.
Chen Qiu didn't idle either. He quickly circled to the other side, and together with Fat Dragon, they surrounded the Wolf Sovereign from two directions, launching a guerrilla-style siege. The severely injured Wolf Sovereign now had thoughts of retreat, but it was too late!
The two of them didn't go all out in their attack.
Conserving their strength, they took turns to keep their distance from the Wolf Sovereign, ensuring it couldn't get close to them. Meanwhile, the other person would take the opportunity to harass the Wolf Sovereign.
After several breaths—
"Slash!"
As the Wolf Sovereign finally slowed down due to excessive blood loss, Fat Dragon signaled Chen Qiu to move forward. Chen Qiu didn't waste any time, taking large strides towards the Wolf Sovereign's side and delivering a powerful blow with his knife, slicing it across the Wolf Sovereign's neck.
Even after suffering such a fatal blow, the Wolf Sovereign didn't die on the spot. Instead, its body struggled with renewed vigor, as if reflecting the light of life.
The knife blade got stuck in its neck, and Chen Qiu couldn't pull it out for a while. So, he pressed his entire body onto the Wolf Sovereign, concentrating all his strength on the knife handle, and continued to slash the blade deeper into the Wolf Sovereign's neck.
Finally, the Wolf Sovereign's body stiffened, and it stopped struggling, its breathing ceasing.
A Qi Condensation Stage Level 6 demon beast had perished!
"Damn..."
After the battle, Fat Dragon, who had been full of vigor, suddenly felt a wave of exhaustion rising from the depths of his heart. His legs went soft, and he sat down on the ground, gazing at the fresh blood staining his clothes, his expression dazed as he looked at the Wolf Sovereign's corpse.
The Wolf Sovereign's silver-white fur was now completely dyed red.
The Demonic Aura on its body slowly dissipated.
Its pupils had begun to disperse, and every sign indicated that this once majestic Wolf Sovereign was truly dead, slain by their hands.
"Am I that powerful?"
Fat Dragon looked down at his hands in a daze. He had never imagined that he could personally kill a Qi Condensation Stage Level 6 demon beast. At the same level of cultivation, demon beasts were often stronger than cultivators, especially since he didn't have any Art of Cultivation or magical treasures, making his strength slightly inferior.
But now it seemed like he needed to reevaluate his own strength.
A Qi Condensation Stage Level 6 demon beast was nothing to fear!
At this moment, Chen Qiu was also panting, sitting on the grass with his buttocks. The firewood knife that had accompanied him for over thirty days was still embedded in the Wolf Sovereign's neck, not yet withdrawn. He checked his body and found numerous injuries, but they were not serious.
Most of his injuries were bruises.
There was only one wolf claw mark on his abdomen, from which blood continuously seeped, causing a stinging pain.
After advancing to the second level of the Qi Condensation Stage, he chose the green entry "Foundation Delay" from the three random entries. The first two entries had little use for him; he had never considered alchemy, so he didn't need the entry related to alchemy.
Although he quite liked the entry "Seize Initiative," which meant that he could take action ahead of time in future Celestial Path Secret Realms, whether it was setting up traps or grabbing rewards first, it was all excellent.
However, he still felt that the entry "Foundation Delay" was more suitable for him. It was like giving him two additional entries and also increased his Foundation Establishment success rate, which was great.
Just then—
A faint glow floated in the air above the Wolf Sovereign's corpse and merged into Chen Qiu's body. He instantly felt his body warm up, and even his pain was significantly alleviated. When he examined his body again, as expected!
A panel of words enveloped in clouds appeared inside his body once more.
"Significant Cultivation Increase, Officially Enter Qi Condensation Period Level 3."
"Due to the entry 'Continuous Growth', this cultivation breakthrough allows you to obtain another entry."
"Please choose from the three random entries below within ten breaths."
1:
"Entry Name": Essence Master.
"Entry Level": Grey.
"Entry Effect": You will never be able to establish a foundation, but your lifespan will be extended by 500 years.
2:
"Entry Name": Yama's Decree.
"Entry Level": Grey.
"Entry Effect": You will definitely die in one year, but you will absolutely not die within that year.
3:
"Entry Name": Vengeful Spirit Summoning.
"Entry Level": Green.
"Entry Effect": The creatures you kill will turn into vengeful spirits and attach to your body. You can summon them to fight for you at any time, and they will possess the peak strength they had in their lifetime, but they can only exist for one hour after being summoned before dispersing into the world.
Chen Qiu glanced at the three random entries before him, pondered for a moment, and chose the third entry, "Vengeful Spirit Summoning." It seemed there wasn't much to consider; the drawbacks of the first two were just too significant.
Only the third entry was the combat-related entry he urgently needed.
Moreover, it was a skill-type entry.
Up until now, apart from this entry, the other random entries he obtained were mostly auxiliary or passive ones; only this one could be actively triggered.
"Fat Dragon."
After resting for a moment, Chen Qiu, who was sitting on the ground, turned his head towards Fat Dragon beside him and said softly, "Thanks."
To be honest, this pork head meat was worth it. Fat Dragon helped him kill monsters, allowed him to deliver the final blow to the Wolf Sovereign, and even used up his two talismans. Speaking of which, he felt a little embarrassed. Without Fat Dragon, he wouldn't have been able to advance to the third level of the Qi Condensation Stage so quickly.
"It's nothing."
Fat Dragon thought of the two talismans he had painstakingly saved up, feeling a bit reluctant, but he still shook his head with a forced smile, "At least our teamwork is exceptionally harmonious. It's good to have a teammate like you in this dangerous and unfamiliar world."
Actually, he didn't tell Chen Qiu that before meeting him, he had found a few other fellow transmigrators. Those fellows had already reached high positions, and when he tried to get close to them, they all gave him the cold shoulder and ridiculed him.
It was humiliating.
It's better to stay with someone with lower cultivation than him; at least he wouldn't be ridiculed.
