Chen Song's Innate Five Elements Qi surged within him. Instead of retreating, it advanced, ten times smaller than the Kui Niu, yet his tiny figure erupted with a boundless aura!

"Five-Colored Divine Light, Guard!"

Chen Song grunted, summoning the Five-Colored Illusory Spirit Fan. Five-colored light flowed around him, forming a solid Five Elements barrier in front of him. At the same time, he clenched his fists, gathering the power of the Five Elements, ready to meet the brute force charge head-on.

"Boom--!"

The Kui Niu, carrying the force of wind and thunder, slammed fiercely into the five-colored light screen! The screen vibrated violently, its five-colored brilliance flickering, but it stubbornly held, not shattering, and weakening the terrifying impact force layer by layer.

"Roar?"

A flicker of surprise flashed in the Kui Niu's eyes. It hadn't expected this tiny human to withstand its charge. But its ferocity had been ignited. It raised its single hoof high again, gathering endless wind and thunder power upon it, like a hammer of divine punishment, stomping down fiercely towards Chen Song!

"Good!" Chen Song's fighting spirit was also ignited. He dispersed the light screen, and the Illusory Spirit Fan vanished. The Five Elements power within Chen Song circulated madly, and five-colored light spun on his right fist, as if holding a miniature world!

"Take this, Serious Punch!"

His figure was like lightning as he actively met the giant, wind-and-thunder-entwined hoof, unleashing a punch!

"Dong--!!!"

Fist and hoof collided, erupting in a deafening roar! This collision was even more violent than before! Terrifying energy ripples spread instantly, crushing all the surrounding rocks, trees, and plants, and stirring up monstrous waves in the great marsh!

The Kui Niu let out a muffled roar filled with pain and disbelief: "Moo!!!" It felt as if its hoof had stepped onto an extremely rapidly spinning grinding mill, containing five completely different yet endlessly regenerating powers!

That power was not only incredibly hard but also carried complex artistic conceptions of tearing, burning, penetrating, suppressing, and growing. It madly destroyed the wind and thunder power on its hoof, and even subtly seeped into its body, making its Blood Essence churn!

Its massive body could no longer remain steady. It staggered backward repeatedly, "Stomp, stomp, stomp," each step leaving deep pits in the ground, lightning crackling, appearing quite disheveled.

Chen Song was also pushed back by the rebound force. He flipped a few times in mid-air and landed lightly, shaking his slightly numb fist, and grinned, "Yoho, quite strong! But still a bit lacking!"

The Kui Niu shook its slightly dizzy head, its gaze towards Chen Song completely changed. From initial contempt and greed, it turned to shock and a hint of fear.

This cultivator in front of it clearly didn't feel strong, so why were his physical body and Spiritual Power so outrageous? That five-colored light made it feel uncomfortable all over!

"Do you submit? Are you still going to rob me?" Chen Song asked proudly, hands on his hips. He took out a handful of pine nuts and crunched one, "Crack," releasing a fragrant aroma.

That enticing aroma wafted over again. The Kui Niu's massive throat rolled violently, and its stomach even let out a "Grumble" of protest. It looked at Chen Song's terrifying fist, then at the fragrant pine nuts in his hand, its huge ox eyes filled with struggle.

It couldn't win a fight, but it couldn't bear to run away from the food... So conflicted!

Seeing this, Chen Song chuckled inwardly and waved the pine nuts in his hand, "Big guy, do you want to eat?"

The Kui Niu nodded repeatedly, its eyes filled with extreme longing.

Not stingy, Chen Song released the restriction on the Kui Niu, waved his hand, and a handful of pine nuts flew from his hand into the ox's mouth. The Kui Niu chewed, its ox face showing satisfaction.

Chen Song took out another handful of pine nuts and ate them, while appraising the big guy in front of him. He thought it was a powerful beast from the Great Wilderness, but it turned out to be a Golden Immortal causing trouble.

As soon as the pine nuts Chen Song had thrown into the ox's mouth were eaten, the Kui Niu devoured them like Hongyun eating Ginseng Fruit. It looked at Chen Song expectantly. Chen Song helplessly threw another handful.

"Big guy, what are you, so greedy," Chen Song asked, looking at the Kui Niu "feasting."

"This old ox, ha ha ha... is not anything, ha ha ha..., this old ox is ha ha ha... Kui Niu."

Kui Niu?

Kui Niu!

Isn't this Third Martial Uncle Tongtian's mount? Alright, alright, if that's the case, I'll help Third Martial Uncle take it back first. Third Martial Uncle is the most fun. Later, I'll have him take me to the West to kill people and snatch Bodhi Seeds.

Wait? No, no, if I only take Third Martial Uncle's mount back, what about Master and Second Martial Uncle? If nothing else, not taking a mount back for Master wouldn't make sense!

What was Master's mount again?

Single-Horned Kui! Isn't "Kui" said to mean rhinoceros? I remember Master Laozi riding a Green Ox?

Never mind, I'll help Third Martial Uncle capture the Kui Niu first.

Chen Song took out a Ginseng Fruit given by Hongyun and threw it into the ox's mouth like the pine nuts before. The Kui Niu wrinkled its nose. So fragrant! Even more fragrant than before!

It swallowed it in one gulp and chewed a few times, its ox eyes instantly widening.

"Old ox, come with me, be a mount for my Third Martial Uncle, and I'll give you snacks like those just now, as much as you want, how about it? Hmm?" Chen Song tempted it with benefits.

The Kui Niu looked at him suspiciously, its voice like thunder but with a hint of grievance, "As... as much as I want? Are you serious? You're not tricking this ox?" Its mind was simple. After being subdued, its desire for delicious food completely took over.

"Of course! The Great Wilderness doesn't lie to Great Wilderness oxen."

Chen Song patted his chest and started painting a rosy picture, "I am the head disciple under the Three Pure Ones of Kunlun Mountain! A genuine disciple of the Xuanmen! Would I lie to a mere ox? Not only will these pine nuts be plentiful, but there will be even better spiritual fruits and immortal pills in the future!"

"Moreover, who is my Martial Uncle? He is Pangu's true lineage! Becoming a Heavenly Dao Saint in the future is almost a certainty, and the Great Wilderness beasts that become his mounts then will be fought over fiercely!" Chen Song continued to fool it, though it wasn't entirely fooling. Chen Song knew the Three Pure Ones would surely become Saints.

As he spoke, he tossed another large handful of pine nuts.

The Kui Niu happily chewed with its ox mouth. If it could eat such good things every day in the future, that would be too blissful! Thinking of this, all the lightning on its body became much more docile!

"Delicious! I'll follow you!"

The Kui Niu immediately threw all thoughts of robbery and face to the nine heavens. Its massive head affectionately nudged towards Chen Song, even wanting to rub against Chen Song with its forehead. Chen Song dodged with a smile—this guy was covered in lightning, and a rub wouldn't be fun.

"That's more like it! From now on, you'll follow me, and I'll provide food and lodging!" Chen Song patted its large head with satisfaction.

"Okay, now can you shrink a bit? I have to look up constantly, my neck is getting sore. Also, retract all the lightning on your body," Chen Song commanded the Kui Niu to change its form.

The Kui Niu's massive body gradually shrank, and the lightning on its body slowly disappeared, transforming into the appearance of a normal-sized large black ox.

Well, that's more like it!

"Big Black Ox, Super Evolution! Kui Niu Beast!"

The Kui Niu, now smaller, remained unmoved. Its bovine eyes gazed at Chen Song with a clarity as profound as a university student facing an 8 AM class.

Chen Song kicked the Big Black Ox. "Hurry up and change back, you clumsy ox!"

Kui Niu: ...

Changing size consumes a lot of stamina!

The Kui Niu grew larger, crackling lightning once again emanating from its body.

"You're teachable. Shrink back down. Uh, no need to shrink back this time."

The Kui Niu transformed back into the Big Black Ox. Chen Song leaped lightly onto its back, planning to take the Kui Niu for a ride before returning. They hadn't been out for long, and going back too early would surely earn him a grounding from his master.

Just then!
