The Great Black Bull's Super Evolution!

Innate Five Elements Qi surged through Chen Song's body. Rather than retreating, he advanced. His tiny figure, nearly ten times smaller than the Kui Ox, erupted with an imposing aura!

"Five-Colored Divine Light, shield!"

Chen Song shouted low and summoned the Five-Colored Illusory Spirit Fan. Five-colored radiance flowed around him, forming a solid Five Elements barrier before him. At the same time, he clenched his fists as the power of the Five Elements gathered within them, ready to meet that savage charge head-on.

"Boom—!"

The Kui Ox, carrying the force of wind and thunder, slammed viciously into the five-colored curtain of light! The curtain shuddered violently, its radiance flickering erratically, yet it stubbornly refused to break, weakening the terrifying impact layer by layer.

"Roar?"

A trace of surprise flashed through the Kui Ox's eyes. It had not expected such a tiny human to block its charge. But its ferocity had already been provoked. Its single leg rose high once more, endless wind and thunder power gathering upon it like a hammer of heavenly punishment as it stomped brutally toward Chen Song!

"Good!" Chen Song's fighting spirit ignited as well. He dispersed the curtain of light, and the Illusory Spirit Fan vanished. The Five Elements power within him spun madly as five-colored radiance revolved around his right fist, as though he were gripping a miniature world!

"Take this—Serious Punch!!"

His body flashed like lightning as he actually charged toward that enormous hoof wrapped in wind and thunder, throwing a punch!

"Thud—!!!"

Fist and hoof collided with an earth-shattering blast! This clash was even more violent than the last! Terrifying energy ripples spread in an instant, crushing the surrounding mountains, rocks, forests, and trees. The waters of the great marsh surged into towering waves!

The Kui Ox let out a muffled roar of pain and disbelief. "Moo!!!" Its hoof felt as though it had stepped onto a rapidly spinning millstone containing five utterly different yet endlessly regenerating powers!

That force was not only incomparably hard; it also carried the profound intent of tearing, burning, penetrating, suppressing, and growing. It frantically shredded the wind and thunder power around its hoof and even faintly seeped into its body, shaking its blood and Qi into turmoil!

Its enormous body could no longer hold steady. It staggered backward again and again, each step stomping a deep crater into the ground as lightning scattered everywhere, leaving it looking thoroughly bedraggled.

Chen Song was also sent flying backward by the recoil. He flipped several times through the air before landing lightly, shaking his slightly numb fist and grinning. "Heh, you've got some strength! But you're still a little short!"

The Kui Ox shook its somewhat dizzy head, and the way it looked at Chen Song changed completely. Its initial contempt and greed had turned into shock and a hint of fear.

This cultivator's aura clearly did not feel particularly strong, so why were both his physical body and divine abilities so outrageous? That five-colored light made its entire body feel terribly uncomfortable!

"Are you convinced now? Still planning to rob me?" Chen Song asked smugly with his hands on his hips. He took out another handful of pine nuts, cracked one open with a crunch, and fragrance spread through the air.

That tempting aroma drifted over again. The Kui Ox's massive throat bobbed violently, and its stomach even let out an uncooperative growl. It looked at Chen Song's terrifying fist, then at the fragrant pine nuts in his hand, its huge bovine eyes filled with struggle.

It could not beat him, but it could not bear to leave that food behind either... What a dilemma!

Seeing this, Chen Song laughed inwardly and shook the pine nuts in his hand. "Big guy, you want some?"

The Kui Ox nodded frantically, the desire in its eyes reaching its peak.

Chen Song was not stingy either. He released the restriction on the Kui Ox, waved his hand, and sent a handful of pine nuts flying from his palm into the ox's mouth. The Kui Ox chewed them, satisfaction appearing on its bovine face.

Chen Song took out another handful of pine nuts for himself and ate as he sized up the big fellow before him. He had thought it was some powerful prehistoric beast, but it turned out to be merely a Golden Immortal causing trouble.

Yet the pine nuts Chen Song had just tossed into its mouth had already been devoured as quickly as Pigsy eating Ginseng Fruit. It stared at Chen Song eagerly, and Chen Song helplessly tossed it another handful.

"Big guy, what exactly are you? You're such a glutton," Chen Song asked as he watched the Kui Ox feast heartily.

"This old ox is crunch crunch crunch... not some thing, crunch crunch crunch... This old ox is, crunch crunch crunch... a Kui Ox."

A Kui Ox?

A Kui Ox!

Wasn't this Third Martial Uncle Tongtian's mount? Good, good, good. In that case, he would bring it back for Third Martial Uncle first. Third Martial Uncle was the most fun, and later he could take Chen Song west to chop people up and snatch Bodhi Seeds.

Eh? No, no, that would not do. If he only brought a mount back for Third Martial Uncle, what about Master and Second Martial Uncle? Leaving Master without a mount too would be hard to justify, wouldn't it?

What was Master's mount again?

The Single-Horned Kui! Didn't kui mean rhinoceros? But Chen Song remembered that Master Laozi rode a Green Ox.

Never mind. He would take in the Kui Ox for Third Martial Uncle first.

Chen Song took out a Ginseng Fruit Hong Yun had given him and tossed it into the ox's mouth just as he had tossed the pine nuts before. The Kui Ox wrinkled its nose. It smelled so good! Even better than the earlier ones!

It swallowed it in one bite and chewed a few times. Its bovine eyes immediately widened into perfect circles.

"Old Ox, how about following me and becoming my Martial Uncle's mount? Those little snacks I gave you just now will be unlimited. What do you say? Hmm?" Chen Song tempted it with benefits.

The Kui Ox eyed him suspiciously, its thunderous voice carrying a touch of grievance. "Unlimited... unlimited? Are you telling the truth? You wouldn't lie to an ox, would you?" Its mind was simple. After being beaten into submission, its craving for delicious food completely took over.

"Of course! Prehistoric people don't lie to prehistoric oxen."

Chen Song patted his chest and began selling it a dream. "I am the chief disciple under the Three Pure Ones of Kunlun Mountain! A proper outstanding disciple of the Mystic Sect! Why would I lie to a mere ox? Not only will pine nuts be unlimited, there will be even tastier Spirit Fruits and immortal pills in the future!"

"And who is my Martial Uncle? Pangu's True Lineage! Becoming a Saint of the Heavenly Dao is practically guaranteed for him. When that happens, prehistoric beasts will have to fight until their heads bleed for the chance to become his mount!" Chen Song continued to sweet-talk it, though it was not really deception. Chen Song knew the Three Pure Ones were destined to become Saints.

As he spoke, he tossed over another huge handful of pine nuts.

The Kui Ox chewed happily. If it could eat such good things every day from now on, that would be... absolutely wonderful! At that thought, even the lightning around its body became much gentler!

"Delicious! This old ox will follow you!"

The Kui Ox immediately threw robbery and dignity alike beyond the clouds. Its enormous head leaned ingratiatingly toward Chen Song, even trying to rub its forehead against him, but Chen Song dodged away with a laugh. This fellow was covered in lightning; getting rubbed by it would not be fun.

"That's more like it! Follow me from now on, and I'll provide food and lodging!" Chen Song said approvingly, patting its huge head.

"Alright, can you shrink down a little? If I keep craning my neck up at you, it'll get sore. And put away all that lightning around you too." Chen Song ordered the Kui Ox to change its form.

The Kui Ox's massive body gradually shrank, and the lightning around it slowly faded away. It turned into an ordinary-sized large black bull.

Now that was more like it!

"Great Black Bull's Super Evolution! Kui Ox Beast!"

The shrunken Kui Ox did not react. Its bovine eyes stared at Chen Song with the same crystal-clear gaze as a college student attending an 8 a.m. class every day.

Chen Song kicked the great black bull. "Change back already, you stupid ox!"

Kui Ox: ...

Growing larger and smaller took a lot of energy!

The Kui Ox grew larger, and crackling lightning flared around its body once more.

"An ox that can be taught. Shrink down now—uh, this time, you don't need to change back."

The Kui Ox turned into a large black bull again. Chen Song leaped lightly onto its back, intending to ride the Kui Ox around for a while before returning. He had only been out for a short time. Why go back so early just to have Master lock him up in seclusion?

Just then!
