Chapter 283: The Hunt Begins, Who is the Demon Beast!

The Hunt Begins, Who is the Demon Beast!

Night had fallen.

Gu Changge lay on his bed, which was quite spacious.

Yet, he did not even have enough room to turn over…

Wang Yue clutched his left arm, while Yuan Youbai almost entirely draped over his right side.

Both were sleeping soundly, but he suffered through the ordeal.

Not until the early morning did he carefully withdraw his arm and gently set Yuan Youbai down.

Then, he tiptoed to pick up his clothes and left the room.

Wang Yue did notice when her husband departed, though she made no fuss.

As for Yuan Youbai, she had taken the two elixirs given by her husband before sleep, and the presence of her husband’s breath made her sleep very deeply.

Even as Gu Changge left, she was not awakened.

She occasionally let out a couple of silly laughs, prompting Wang Yue to pinch her little face.

…

When Gu Changge stepped out of the great hall, he found two elders from the Sword Sect who appeared to have been waiting for some time.

“Isn’t Elder Xue coming?”

Gu Changge was somewhat puzzled; he did not see Elder Xue, who was usually quite proactive.

“Daoist Fellow Xue is enjoying a drink with Daoist Fellow Gu…”

“If the young master requires, Sage Zhao can go call him.”

Sage Zhao chuckled and mentioned offhandedly.

“No need.”

“Two seniors are enough.”

Gu Changge waved his hand dismissively; the unpredictability of the Demon Beast Forest outside Duanbei City was acknowledged, but even alone, he now felt confident to venture into the No Master Land to hunt demon beasts.

Let alone the accompaniment of two Sages capable of guarding him.

It was bound to be completely safe.

Since preparations were complete, the three spared no further words.

This trip, after all, was for the purpose of hunting demon beasts, and Sage Zhao did not produce a flying boat.

They followed directly behind the young master, leisurely leaving the city. Thanks for reading on ManaNovel!

Many cultivators in the city cast different glances at Young Master Gu when they saw him again.

When he first arrived in Duanbei City, he was only in the Qi Sea Realm.

But now, in less than a year’s time, he had become a sixth grade Void Refinement Realm Great Cultivator at Perfection!

His status had also undergone a transformation, awarded the position of the Sword Sect’s Saint.

In Duanbei City, many cultivators could only envy him.

Especially the stationed disciples of the Heavenly Cold Sect, who shrank their necks upon seeing Young Master Gu.

An earlier slight unpleasantness had occurred outside the gates of the Heavenly Cold Sect.

Fortunately, given the Saintess’s relationship with Young Master Gu, he would not implicate the disciples of the Heavenly Cold Sect.

In fact, even without this relationship, Gu Changge would not have taken such a trifle to heart.

Before long, the three men had already left the city.

The two sages simply concealed their presence in the high clouds.

They could sense that among them was a Perfect True Man Realm cultivator from the Gu Family.

Gu Changge, however, did not slow down and headed straight towards the depths of the Demon Beast Forest.

This time, he was not here to hunt low-grade demon beasts; he planned to delve at least ten thousand miles in, searching for seventh grade Infinite Realm demon beasts to hunt, and best of all, encounter an eighth grade Heavenly Gate Realm Great Demon!

One eighth grade Heavenly Gate Realm Great Demon was worth a full million Attribute Points!

As for the ninth grade…

A Transformed Demon worth ten million Attribute Points was something he could only chance upon, not an easy encounter.

Normally, ninth grade Transformed Demons resided deep in the No Master Land, only surfacing during a beast tide.

“If only there could be a beast tide…”

“How many Attribute Points I’d earn!”

Gu Changge murmured to himself along the way.

For others, a beast tide signified disaster, danger.

But for him, it meant an inexhaustible supply of Attribute Points!

Previously, someone from the Immortal Ascension Sect had intentionally triggered a beast tide; he thought that in the future, he too might try something similar.

However, he’d have to wait until his Realm was even higher, at least until he could be certain of suppressing a ninth grade Transformed Demon, before undertaking such endeavors.

After all, he could not, just to earn Attribute Points, plunge all the cultivators of Duanbei City into peril.

Not least because the Gu Family had many clansmen stationed in the city.

He had no intention to conceal his presence, moving through the sky above the Demon Beast Forest like a shooting star.

Those demon beasts below fifth-grade Ruins Realm, he did not even bother to glance at.

Soon enough, he had penetrated more than five thousand miles into the No Master Land!

With his Divine Sense deployed, he could already detect the location of several sixth grade Refining Void Realm demon beasts!

Without delay, he headed directly towards one of them.

Moments later, a Refining Void Realm demon beast resembling a giant jackalwolf over ten fathoms tall appeared in his view.

“Roar!!!”

Sensing the presence of a human, the Refining Void Realm demon beast suddenly leaped, shattering the stones beneath its feet!

“Tsk…”

Seeing this, Gu Changge remained unruffled.

He faced the oncoming threat with a punch.

His fist was surrounded by Xuanhuang Qi.

This sight, in the demon beast’s eyes, seemed both surprising and somewhat mocking!

For itself, a formidable sixth grade Refining Void Realm Great Demon, even a punch mattered little!

But as the demon beast charged forward, a punch landed squarely on its skull.

With his Sacred Body at Small Success and his Root Bone, his physique was far superior to that of other cultivators of the same realm, let alone the strength of demon beasts.

With the enveloping Xuanhuang Qi, the mere collision was instantaneous.

The demon beast felt as though a mountain had descended upon it, letting out a mournful howl as it was directly slammed into the ground, creating a significant crater!

At that moment, the demon beast lay in the deep hole, its eyes evidently confused.

It even wondered if it had been mistaken, for a human had just shattered its skull with a fist!

At this moment, the only thought in its mind was…

Escape!

To flee as far as possible!

It even doubted whether the opponent was a Transformed Demon King!

How could a human rely solely on their body to be so terrifying!

But just as it thought of escaping, it only felt a golden light suddenly flash in front of its eyes.

Then, it completely lost consciousness.

Gu Changge slightly raised his hand, and the Xuanhuang Tower, trailing a line of blood, spun continuously in the palm of his hand.

[Host has killed a Void Refinement Realm Demon Beast, reward: 10,000 Attribute Points.]

Listening to the prompt of Attribute Points being credited in his mind, Gu Changge didn’t delay. With a thought, he immediately stored the corpse of the demon beast inside the spatial interior of the Xuanhuang Tower.

His figure had already moved towards the second Void Refinement Realm Demon Beast detected by his Divine Sense!

Upon getting closer, he found that this demon beast was actually a giant python.

But its skin was covered in scales as tough as metal and appeared to be highly poisonous.

However, in Gu Changge’s eyes, it was nothing; it was merely a simple 10,000 Attribute Points!

This time, he simply took advantage of the python’s delayed reaction and heavily stomped on its vital spot.

With the enhancement of Xuanhuang Qi, his stomp deformed the vital spot of the giant python.

A mouthful of snake blood spurted out violently; seeing this, Gu Changge thought, and the Xuanhuang Tower directly entered through its mouth, instantly crushing its internal organs to death.

Generally speaking, when facing Demon Beasts of the same realm, the Human Clan is at a disadvantage unless they possess a high-grade Divine Skill and have a high mastery, which could benefit them in combat against Demon Beasts of the same realm.

But with Gu Changge, killing a Demon Beast of the same realm was no different from killing a baby chick!

In just an instant, the Void Refinement Realm Giant Python didn’t even have a chance to fight back, nor did it even see with its own eyes who was attacking it before it met its demise.

[Host has killed a Void Refinement Realm Demon Beast, reward: 10,000 Attribute Points.]

Immediately, the demon beast turned into credited Attribute Points, Gu Changge thought, and stored its body inside the Xuanhuang Tower, heading straight for the next target.

Above ten thousand meters in the sky, within the clouds.

Three Sages of the Sage Realm, watching this scene, fell silent as well.

“In the same realm… A human facing a Demon Beast doesn’t need any Divine Skills and can completely overpower it with brute force, this old man never thought he’d see such a thing in his lifetime.”

“It seems, the young master rather resembles an ancient ferocious beast!”

Jian Chen’s eyelids twitched, unable to resist muttering.

“In my view… Now, even facing a Seventh Grade Unlimited Realm, the young master probably wouldn’t need much effort.”

“After all, he hasn’t even used his Divine Skills yet.”

“Let alone his heaven-defying method of controlling Heavenly Tribulation…”

Sage Zhao was also amazed.

Even now, the foremost Saint Son of Sword Sect at the First Saint Son Peak, when in the Sixth Grade Refining Void Realm, didn’t have even half of Gu Changge’s counter-heavenly capacity.

Possessing the Talent of Dao Body and suppressing Demon Beasts within the same realm indeed isn’t challenging.

The issue is, Gu Changge has directly suppressed it with brute force… without even using any Divine Skills.

Despite utilizing a Heavenly Grade Supreme Treasure, the three of them could tell that, with or without the treasure, he could easily deliver a couple more punches, enough to shatter that demon beast’s bones and tendons!

For a moment, they couldn’t tell who was really the demon beast!

“Hehe…”

“My Gu Family’s younger generation should indeed be like this.”

Gu Haitang stroked his beard and chuckled lightly, his face full of pride.

But hearing this, the two Elders from the Sword Sect could only force a laugh and remain speechless.

What do you mean “should be like this.”

Can you find a second one like him?

Even if it’s the Gu Family’s Ancestor, when he was in the Sixth Grade Refining Void Realm, did he have even one-tenth of the young master’s strength?

However, due to their status, the two of them could only show respect and bow with a smile.

In just half a day, Gu Changge had slain no less than six Void Refinement Realm Demon Beasts.

But demon beasts above Grade Five had already developed significant Spirit Intelligence and had territorial awareness.

In the Sixth Grade Refining Void Realm, he could only find these few within the range of his Divine Sense.

Gu Changge had earned a full 60,000 Attribute Points in less than half a day and was full of vigor.

He then went directly deeper into the area.

When they got 8,000 li outside of Duanbei City, it seemed there were fewer Demon Beasts.

However, there were still many Demon Beasts without Spirit Intelligence. As a Great Demon, he didn’t care about these lesser beasts and did not feel threatened, so naturally, he did not drive them away.

It wasn’t until late at night that Gu Changge finally found the first Seventh Grade Unlimited Realm Great Demon!

Though this Demon Beast was at a higher realm than him, he didn’t hesitate and instantly locked onto the creature’s aura with his Divine Sense. In a few flashes, he appeared outside a cavern.

Feeling the Seventh Grade Unlimited Realm aura emanating from the cave, Gu Changge couldn’t help but rush inside.

After passing through thousands of meters of a rocky passage, the scene in front of him suddenly opened up.

He glanced around but did not spot the trace of the Demon Beast.

Suddenly, strands of spider silk appeared from all directions.

This spider silk was so robust that not even an ordinary Dark Grade Magic Treasure could cut it in a short time!

Moreover, the silk was incredibly fine and sharp!

In an instant, it entangled Gu Changge.

A six-eyed Spider King dropped down from above in the cave, biting toward its prey that had conveniently arrived.

The Spider King’s gaping maw engulfed Gu Changge’s head.

But he remained still as if frozen in shock, making no movement.

For the Spider King, this wasn’t suspicious; after all, he was just a small Sixth Grade Human Clan Cultivator, and it could bite off his head in one bite!

However, as it bit down, it felt something wasn’t right!

Unlike the usual feeling…

Despite biting down…

But it felt a destructive aura spreading throughout its body via its mouth; for a moment, its entire body uncontrollably trembled.

Then it saw the Sixth Grade Human Clan Cultivator it had wrapped in its silk.

Only the body remained, but where was the head!?

No, that can’t be right…

At his neck, there was no blood!

It didn’t even look like a wound.

Then, under the bewildered gaze of the Spider King, a head composed of lightning, like nothing it had ever seen, formed out of the body.

“Hmm… what a curious feeling.”

Gu Changge slightly moved his neck. Just now, he had deliberately tested the Spirit Transformation ability he gained from achieving Small Success in the Sacred Body.

The moment the Spider King bit down, he had transformed his entire body into spirit, feeling no pain. Even when it swallowed him, he maintained a certain connection with the Heavenly Tribulation Power, allowing him to control that power to rampage inside the Spider King.

It only cost him some Spiritual Energy to regenerate his missing head.

But this feeling was strangely unsettling; he decided it was best to use it sparingly in the future…

Despite feeling no pain, suddenly losing his head made him lose his vision, and though his Divine Sense was not affected, it still felt too bizarre…

As the Heavenly Tribulation Power surged within, the Spider King fell from the silk to the ground, stirring up dust.

Meanwhile, Gu Changge, under the terrified gaze of the creature, took a step forward, the spider silk sliding across his body without causing any disturbance, passing right through…

Even his clothes were affected by his transformation.

With just one step, he walked right out of the silk that had bound him.

And quite literally through it… the hindering strands of silk remained as though trapping a puff of air.

“One hundred thousand.”

Gu Changge murmured, snapping his fingers, which completely detonated the Heavenly Tribulation Power within the Spider King.

Since Heavenly Tribulation inherently deeply suppressed Demon Beasts, a blast like Tribulation Lightning exploded inside the Spider King.

Its organs immediately lost much of their vitality.

“Quite resilient.”

Seeing it wasn’t quite dead, Gu Changge casually pressed down with a fingertip, and the Xuanhuang Tower directly suppressed it from above.

Already severely injured by the internal explosion of Tribulation Lightning, the Spider King had no power left to resist the attack from a Heavenly Rank Supreme Treasure.

[Host has slain a Seventh Grade Unlimited Realm Demon Beast, Reward: One hundred thousand Attribute Points!]

Hearing the notification of attribute points, Gu Changge showed a satisfied smile, took the corpse of the Spider King into the Xuanhuang Tower, and began seeking his next target!

He wouldn’t leave the Demon Beast Forest this time without making a few million Attribute Points!
