Ultimate Martial Divine King

At first glance, it looked like a vast expanse of green ocean. In the depths of the mountain range, the wavy mountains and valleys were like the bones of dragons prostrating on the ground.    

It was truly extraordinary, displaying its boundless power.    

From time to time, the roars of some unknown Vicious Beasts could be heard from the depths of the mountain range.    

As an area with a high risk of Holy Star Dynasty, every part of the Boneless Mountain Range was suffused with a dark sense of crisis.    

"Bang, bang!"    

At this very moment, in the outside region that was 500 meters away from the Boneless Mountain Range, an intense fight was taking place.    

"Roar!"    

The roar was extremely intimidating. It was a Demonic Beast covered in white fur, which was about three meters tall and five meters long. Its appearance was similar to a lion. But in every aspect, it was something that a normal lion could never compare with.    

This Snow Lion was a Great Demon of the first level.    

It was equivalent to a cultivator being at Rank One of Essence Mastering Stage. It was extremely fast as well as having extremely strong power.    

However, the Snow Lion was fighting against a youth with a black spear in his hands. The youth's body was covered in dust and sweat, making him look rather pathetic, but his firm and unswerving outline looked like being carved by a sharp knife. His deep eyes were filled with calmness, without any signs of panic or fear.    

"Roar!"    

The Snow Lion's eyes revealed a vicious light as it grimaced in pain. It entire body was emitting a ruthless aura.    

Suddenly, the Snow Lion leapt up and pounced on the youth with an unstoppable momentum.    

At this moment!    

The youth's eyes were filled with a sharp and cold glint. When the Snow Lion jumped to the highest point, he followed and leaped up, releasing the surging Strength of True Essence. A large amount of power quickly climbed onto the long spear in his hands.    

"Buzz, buzz!"    

At this moment, the black Shadow Spear immediately released a dazzling array of Golden Light, and the restless Strength of True Essence wantonly stirred, looking like the essence extracted from the Holy Light of the Sun.    

In the next moment, the youth directly threw out the Cold Spear in his hands.    

His attack was as quick as lightning and his power was like a ray of light!    

"Hiss!"    

Along with the tearing sound in the air, the Shadow Spear forcefully pierced into the head of the Snow Lion like a pair of chopsticks piercing through tofu.    

"Wu!"    

A mournful scream came out from the Snow Lion's mouth as blood splattered in the air.    

"Bang!"    

The Snow Lion's gigantic Beast Body smashed onto the ground heavily. A large amount of dust and fallen leaves flew recklessly into the air. After struggling for a few moments on the ground, it stopped moving.    

The strike was clean and neat.    

Chu Hen calmly looked at the Snow Lion in front of him, yet his face not showing any sign of excitement or joy.    

He had already been in the Boneless Mountain Range for nearly half a month, and this was not the first time he had killed a Great Demon of the first level.    

From the moment he had first entered the Boneless Mountain Range, he had encountered more than 100 Demonic Beasts and killed 50 or 60 of them. The strongest one he had encountered was a Great Demon of the second level.    

During that battle, Chu Hen had used all his power.    

After an incredibly fierce and bitter battle, Chu Hen finally killed that Great Demon of the second level with incomparable danger.    

The large and small injuries on Chu Hen's body were from the constant fighting these days. In order to improve his combat ability effectively, Chu Hen had not used the destructive power of the Holy Body of Demon Eye a single time.    

Even the strength of Body of Chaos was rarely used.    

However, the effects of the constant fighting these days were obvious, especially regarding the spear skills. His foundation was more solid and steady, and his mastery of the Gale Blood Shadow Spear was also improving.    

Take the Snow Lion that just was killed for example. Chu Hen would never be able to kill him so easily before.    

This also proved the old saying that actual combat was often one of the fastest ways to improve one's Cultivation.    

"Chi!"    

Chu Hen pulled out his Shadow Spear and a string of blood splattered out.    

The dark and sharp tip of the spear let out a buzzing sound. After soaking in so much blood, the Shadow Spear was much sharper than before, and it also had a cold and sharp aura.    

"Although this Shadow Spear is enough for me now, I still have to change for a better weapon in the future."    

Chu Hen muttered and put the Shadow Spear back into the Storage Ring. He then took out a dagger to open the Snow Lion's head and took out a crystal clear beast core.    

Most of the Demonic Beasts’ beast cores were rhombus shaped, and were about the size of a red date.    

The beast core of a Great Demon of the first level could be at least traded for 20 to 30 Middle-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones, but the beast core of a Great Demon of the second level almost doubled that price.    

Chu Hen had already collected one beast core of a Great Demon of the second level, five beast cores of Great Demons of the first level and 40 to 50 beast cores of Little Demons.    

As for the missions that he had accepted from the Cloud Lifting Pavilion, he had completed a few of them.    

For example, the Fresh snake gall from a Nine Section Snake and Twin Black Ganoderma…    

This was a part of his harvest from the past half month. If he were to trade these things with the Cloud Lifting Merchant Guild, he would be able to obtain around 300 Middle-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones.    

He had to admit that hunting Demonic Beasts here was indeed a rather profitable way.    

But in reality, they were fighting with their lives, and at any moment now, they could lose their lives in the mouth of a Demonic Beast.    

"Rustle, rustle ~ ~"    

Just as Chu Hen was about to leave, he heard rustling footsteps suddenly coming over.    

Chu Hen slightly leaned to one side and narrowed his eyes. After a short period of contemplation, he flashed towards a large tree that was not far away. He then flipped a few times and jumped onto the treetop that was covered in lush foliage.    

Not long after, eight or nine man with unfriendly faces and vicious auras appeared.    

"The sounds of fighting must have come from this side. The blood of this Snow Lion is still warm. That person just left not long ago…"    

An ear-piercing duck voice was especially unpleasant.    

Chu Hen carefully swept away the leaves on the side of the tree, his eyes looking down from between the leaves.    

The one who spoke was a short man. He dipped his hand in the blood of the Snow Lion, and then licked it a few times, revealing a sinister and satisfied smile.    

"Chief, should we chase him?" Another man with a scar on his face asked in a deep voice.    

Their gazes all gathered on a large, bald man. His face was ferocious, and his fierce eyes emitted a sinister and vicious light.    

"Hey, hey, of course we'll chase him!" Before the bald man could say anything, the short man who was licking the blood of the Snow Lion laughed complacently, "Those who are capable of walking here must have collected a lot of beast cores of Demonic Beasts. All we've met these days are 'skinny sheep', and we haven't had much meat. It's rare to encounter a 'fat sheep', how can we let him run away?"    

Hearing the conversation of the few people below, Chu Hen immediately understood.    

These people were all bandits who had killed people and looted their goods.    

In the Boneless Mountain Range, the method of 'robbing' was much easier than painstakingly hunting Demonic Beasts in order to obtain a beast core. In any case, many people die in the Boneless Mountain Range every year, which resulted in a few desperate criminals doing evil deeds in order to reap sudden profits.    

"Chief, say something! If we don't chase him now, he'll run far away." The man with a scar on his face said.    

The bald man narrowed his eyes, and he immediately said, "I don't want this fat sheep anymore."    

"Why?"    

"Look at the Snow Lion's fatal wound. You can see that he had used his finishing move in one strike. For someone to be able to kill a Great Demon of the first level so easily, his power must be a level above Rank One of Essence Mastering Stage."    

The bald man paused for a moment, a bit of seriousness gushing out of his sinister gaze. He continued, "Don't forget the purpose of this trip. Before we obtain that thing, we must preserve our strength."    

"Hey, hey, chief is right. It is more important to conserve strength. Hey, chief, as long as we get that thing, we will be able to go to the Cloud Lifting Merchant Guild to exchange for 15 High-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones. Then we will have a good rest and enjoy ourselves."    

The short man laughed proudly.    

"Humph, stupid." The bald man disdainfully sneered.    

"Chief, why are you scolding me?"    

"15 High-Grade Elemental Crystal Stone? We will sell it on the black market. Even if it's thirty High-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones, there will still be people who will buy it."    

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.    

"Alright, then we'll sell it on the black market. F**k the Cloud Lifting Merchant Guild."    

"This matter should not be delayed. Chief, we should head over now. Don't let anyone beat us to it."    

"Let's go!"    

The bandits hurriedly left, disappearing into the depths of the forest immediately.    

Hiding in the treetop, Chu Hen did not come down immediately. Instead, he listened quietly to the movements around him.    

15 High-Grade Elemental Crystal Stone, Cloud Lifting Merchant Guild.    

Based on these words, Chu Hen could almost be sure that the thing that those people were talking about was 'Blood Rare Crystal Lotus'.    

Chu Hen couldn't help but sink into deep thought. Amongst the bandits, the bald man was the strongest, and according to his manner, his Cultivation might reach Rank Two of Essence Mastering Stage.    

This person alone was more difficult to deal with, not to mention the others.    

But then again, once he obtained the Blood Rare Crystal Lotus, Chu Hen would be able to trade for the 'Golden Python Anti-Scale Spear', and he wouldn't have to worry about the Elemental Crystal Stones for a relatively long period in the future.    

After a moment of hesitation, a look of determination flashed in Chu Hen's eyes.    

He would follow them for now and wait for an opportunity to make his move. If there was any danger, he would immediately withdraw.    

"Then do it!"    

After making up his mind, Chu Hen jumped down from the treetop and followed in the direction in which the bandits had left.
