In an instant, two days passed.
Ding Hao was still trapped in a small area with a radius of less than 20 miles. During the all-day fights with the dangerous wild species, Ding Hao’s clothes had long been torn into rags. All the clothes were tattered, even those in his storage ring. In the end, he had to roast the newly peeled animal skin to make several gown covers. Even the underwear was made of the fur peeled from the head of a wild tiger……
Fortunately, Ding Hao was well versed in the method of inscription refining, and was not unfamiliar with making clothes.
The temporary cave that he had dug on the cliff was enlarged and divided into several connected caves. One of them was enormous, with hundreds of square meters of space. The bones and fur were the fruits of Ding Hao’s hunting in the past two days.
He found that the fierce beasts living in that world had undergone terrible mutations. They had infinite power and were also able to make good use of the laws of heaven and earth. Somehow, even on the surface of their fur, scales and bones, there were some natural patterns. After careful screening, the two Masters believed that those patterns were inscriptions from ancient times that had been lost to the outside world. Somehow, the patterns actually appeared on the bodies of those beasts. That world was really amazing……
Those bones, fur, and scales were all treasures for Ding Hao. They were carefully stored there, while Ding Hao refined another storage ring with a larger storage space.
In addition, in order to prevent from being attacked by those giant wild beasts, Ding Hao prepared several escape back doors in accordance with the principle of “Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit.”
Since entering that world, Ding Hao had never been as frightened as in those days.
He felt as if he were completely at the bottom of the food chain.
However, the Sage Battlefield was indeed a magical world, and the danger was proportional to the returns.
In the past four days, Ding Hao’s strength had been continuously improved; he had reached the eight-apertured congenital Grandmaster Realm. He had already eaten up all the herbs which were over 100 years old within the area. Now their scent filled his mouth. Those ordinary martial artists who were limited by bottlenecks would immediately break through as long as they sucked in the breath exhaled by Ding Hao.
“Hiccup…… if I continue eating like this, I will turn into a medicine man……”
Ding Hao burped and sprayed a green fragrance from his nose.
A variety of herbal medicines had penetrated every cell and bone marrow of his entire body and were frantically transforming it. At the moment, every half an hour, he had to stand up to practice his sword and saber to catalyze the medicine into Qi.
Bang!
There was a sudden loud noise; the whole cave shook and rubble fell.
“They’re fighting again. These fierce beasts are really full of energy, and they fight each other every now and then……” Ding Hao cautiously bent his waist, showing up at the cliff hole at a height of more than 500 meters, then looked away.
In a mountain range more than ten miles away, two strange-shaped monsters over four or five hundred meters in height were fighting fiercely. One of them looked like a cow, and was covered with black flames. The horns on its head were like sky knives, which could crumble a hill that was more than 100 meters high. Within a hundred meters of it, everything burned. The massive boulders were burned into ashes instantly, and its opponent was a strange humanoid creature with three heads and six arms, each holding a giant pale bone rod of unknown creatures. The rods were covered with the patterns of the heavens and the earth, and when they hit the ground, giant pits were made and the earth cracked, with magma gushing out……
Those were two of the four beasts twenty miles away.
“Their fights are becoming more and more frequent. It seems that they’re really angry and they have been injured. This isn’t right. This is no longer a fight, but a life and death standoff……” the Sword Master said thoughtful and found things a little strange.
The Saber Master rarely agreed with the Sword Master, but that time she said, “Indeed, the kings of these beasts have a strong sense of the realm. Generally, as long as they don’t cross the other’s realm, they will be safe and sound in this dangerous environment. Among them, they know how to preserve their strengths, and generally avoid fighting with each other to let the third one get profits. But now, the two beasts are fighting so fiercely…… Do they……?”
“What?” Ding Hao thought something in his heart.
“It seems that they are fighting for something. Or to prepare for something that will happen.” The Sword Master made a judgment.
“Don’t listen to this old bitch. That’s bullshit! My judgment is correct……” The Saber Master scorned the Sword Master, and then said certainly, “I think one of them may be laying eggs, so it wants to eliminate threats. That is the nature and instinct of a mother.”
Ding Hao stood at the camouflaged entrance of less than one square meter. After watching for a while, he saw that they didn’t move toward this side, so he stopped watching and returned to the stone cave, to continue to cultivating and to improve his strength.
In addition to various Spiritual Herbs and Spiritual Doses, the Qi in that world was also very abundant. One day of cultivation there was comparable to ten days outside. Ding Hao could feel a kind of indescribable intimacy, as if all the grass and trees here were spiritual, as his old friends, and his Saintly Being of Saber and Sword seemed to resonate with that world.
In the blink of an eye, another day passed.
Ding Hao felt that he had reached the eight-apertured Full Closure, and would soon reach the nine-apertured step. It was rather astonishing to experience that cultivation speed.
With his improvement of realm and strength, although Ding Hao had no bottlenecks in practice, his meridian channels and acupoints would require more energy. In the outside world, it required almost two months to refine one acupoint after he had reached the congenital Grandmaster Realm. But in that place, it only took him two days, which worried him. Would the rapid improvement result in sequelae……?
Fortunately, the two old Masters had rich experience and they were sure it was a normal promotion. Therefore, Ding Hao dared to cultivate with a free hand.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The vibrations outside became more and more frequent.
The four behemoths must have started fighting against each other once more.
They had not stopped fighting since the previous night. At first, two of them battered each other. At the moment, the four of them were fighting. Their fight hid the sun and moon and shadowed the sky. If the mountain where Ding Hao was wasn’t towering and majestic enough, it would have been destroyed during the fight……
If those four ferocious beasts were in the outside world, they would have been at the peak of the Martial King Realm. The destructive power of their battles was quite horrifying.
Ding Hao estimated that within hundreds of miles, except for the giant mountain under his feet, all living things had surely died. When he went out the night before, he found that the distant peaks had already turned into scorched earth. The rivers and lakes had completely disappeared, and the forest was burned into ashes……
By then, the four wild monsters were badly injured. But instead of stopping, they fought with increased fierceness.
“Uh…… it seems that they’re really fighting for something. Are there any great treasures that will show up within a hundred miles?” The Saber Master began to admit the likelihood of the Sword Master’s inference, because the situation was becoming more obvious; there had to be something attracting those four creatures.
“It’s something that they would willingly fight against each other to death for. It must be a rare treasure……”
“Little Chap Ding, save it. Even if the four are disabled, you are not their match. It is too difficult to take something from them.” The Sword Master was surprised by Ding Hao’s greedy eyes. For Ding Hao’s sake, he said that to Ding Hao in disapproval.
“It’s okay. Choose the right time. If the treasure is destined to be yours, of course, you can get it. If God gives you a gift and you don’t take it, then you’ll be wrong. If the timing is wrong, we can also take the opportunity to escape…… No matter what, it’s a good chance!” The Saber Master was full of an adventurer’s spirit.
Ding Hao nodded and said, “That’s right. When they all get hurt, maybe I’ll have a chance.”
The young and the two elders had a discussion. Then Ding Hao returned to the cave to start cultivating. He took the time to improve his strength.
In the next two days, the four fierce beasts became madder. Their blood, which contained powerful energy, flowed out of their bodies, and corroding and making many large pits on the ground. The mountains within the area were completely flattened by the collapse, turning into a place of death. The grass stopped sprouting. At first glance, it was all scorched soil. In some places, the reddish magma had not dried up, and still flowed slowly as if the earth were bleeding……
Ding Hao’s strength had finally been raised to the Completion of the nine-apertured Congenital Grandmaster Realm. At the moment, he was a half step to the great grandmaster realm.
Even if he didn’t use Beast Transform, his combat power could be comparable to the warrior of the half-step to the Martial King Realm.
Just at that moment, Ding Hao was keenly aware of the changes in the elements and rules nearby. That was a slight unknown change but Ding Hao clearly grasped it, and he also confirmed that an unexpected change was about to occur. It would happen near the mountain under his feet, because he found that no matter how crazy the four animals were, they did not approach that mountain……
In a vast desert.
Lei Tingchan closed his eyes and sat quietly under the shadow of a 100-meter-high cactus, reciting the Sutras. Golden light poured out from his body, completely covering the area within 20 meters. Little Bodhisattva looked tired. If someone looked closely, he would see that in the place where the golden light couldn’t reach, the red sand was shaking slightly. Occasionally, a small black dot was exposed from the desert; it was a thumb-sized ant, with a fierce forehead and powerful breath……
Those ants were densely covering the entire desert. Their scarlet compound eyes were cruel; they looked at Lei Tingchan as if he were their delicious prey!
At the same time.
Countless miles away, in a vast sea, on a reef that was exposed about half an acre above sea level, Li Yiruo stood quietly. She was at a loss. There were faintly unknown creatures in the water. They were moving around in the sea. Occasionally, parts of their bodies would come out, and those parts were just like towering mountains……
In a distant place, it was raining blood. That place was full of skeletons, like a dead country. Sweet Sound was walking forward step by step with difficulty……
In another area, Mu Tianyang was in the middle of a beast tide. Every time he chopped with a sword, large amounts of beasts would be slaughtered. He looked like an overlord. No beasts dared approach him……
That was the Sage Battlefield. Each of them was in different places. The situations they had met were totally different.
Opportunities were around.
