Ancient Moon Devouring Divine Dog
Zhuge Xiang, having endured countless hardships and exhausted all his Healing Pill, barely managed to break through the Six Layered Illusory Destruction Realm by relying on the Minor Restoration Pill Rejuvenation Pill to forcibly raise his cultivation to the Body Tempering Realm Second Layer. However, when he broke free from the Illusionary Realm, his eyes widened in disbelief.
The enormous white Demon Wolf was gone; in its place was a small white dog, chubby and pale, not much bigger than a cat. If it weren't for the crescent-shaped pattern on its forehead, Zhuge Xiang would hardly believe that this cute little white dog was the same enormous Demon Wolf from before.
"You... you actually broke through to the Six Layered Illusory Destruction Realm? How is that possible?" The little dog, who had been lying on the ground pretending to sleep, barked in shock when it saw Zhuge Xiang wake up, as if it had seen something unbelievable.
Divine Sense Transmission —this was indeed Divine Sense Transmission only beings at the Fairy level could use, yet Zhuge Xiang couldn't sense any danger emanating from this little white dog.
Without a word, Zhuge Xiang swiftly lifted the puppy up. "You're the wolf from before? We were all fooled by you. You were just a puppy."
"You insolent mortal, do you know my identity? I am the Ancient Moon Devouring Divine Dog! How dare you be so disrespectful to me! You will die a horrible death..." The white puppy struggled violently as Zhuge Xiang Divine Sense it up, its voice filled with furious howls.
However, this chubby, white puppy, with its babyish voice Divine Sense Transmission, would only give people a cute feeling no matter how threatening it was.
"Threatening me? Hmm, haven't had dog meat in a while. This body full of fat should taste pretty good," the dog said, stroking its chin with its other hand in response to the white puppy's threat. It turned over, examined the dog carefully, and nodded.
"Uh..." The white puppy, which had been struggling violently and threatening loudly through Divine Sense Transmission, immediately became as if it had been choked. It dared not speak or struggle anymore, but just looked at Zhuge Xiang cautiously, unsure if what he said was true, "You, you lied to me? You're not going to eat me, are you?"
"Hehe, that depends on whether you're willing to cooperate," Zhuge Xiang chuckled menacingly, a dangerous glint in his eyes.
"Cooperate, I will definitely cooperate," the little white dog nodded hurriedly, barking anxiously, as if afraid that Zhuge Xiang would really stew and eat it.
This was the first time Zhuge Xiang had ever seen such a spineless, cowardly, and weak-willed demon Monster Beast. However, since it was cooperating so readily, Zhuge Xiang was naturally happy to relax and asked, "Ancient Moon Devouring Divine Dog? What is that? And how can you Divine Sense Transmission when your strength is so weak? And who exactly set up this Wolf Tribe Altar?"
"How am I supposed to answer all these questions at once?" The barrage of questions left the little white dog looking completely bewildered.
However, a single fierce glare from Zhuge Xiang immediately silenced it, and it replied seriously, "The Ancient Moon Devouring Divine Dog is nothing! Bah! Who said it's nothing? The Ancient Moon Devouring Divine Dog is Ancient Divine Beast that can devour the essence of Moonlight to enhance its cultivation to the extreme. It can even devour stars and the moon. It is no weaker than divine beasts like Dragon Clan, Phoenix, and Qilin. There is an Ancient Times legend of Heavenly Dog Devouring the Moon, which refers to our ancestors Moon Devouring Divine Dog Tribe."
With its head held high, the little white dog looked quite smug. However, given its size, it didn't look imposing at all; it just looked like a child pretending to be an adult, which was adorably amusing.
"The Moon Devouring Divine Dog is that strong?" Zhuge Xiang was secretly shocked, but on the surface he showed no sign of it. He flicked the white Moon Devouring Divine Dog's forehead with his other finger and said irritably, "Why make it sound so good? It's just a dog. Don't waste your time, continue answering the following questions."
With a wronged expression, the divine dog scratched its forehead with its paws, its angry yet unspeakable look even more adorable. It then replied, "As for Divine Sense Transmission, Ancient Divine Beast are born with Deity. Even without any cultivation, their Divine Sense is powerful enough to Divine Sense Transmission. Humans, or other races, need to undergo Heavenly Tribulation before reaching the stage of Refining Qi to Spirit. But we Ancient Divine Beast can absorb the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth and earth, and the essence of the sun and moon to grow from birth."
"Finally, this Altar, of course, was set up by me. Although I'm still in my Juvenile Stage and not very strong, commanding these Wolf Tribe to build this Altar is no problem. This Altar itself is a Spirit Gathering Formation, and I can grow rapidly while staying here. The spiritual energy here is already abundant, and with the Spirit Gathering Formation, my growth speed can be even faster. As for the Illusionary Realm, it's just a way of utilizing the Altar's power."
"So that's how it is," Zhuge Xiang finally understood after hearing the Moon-Devouring Hound's explanation. Although it was born with the ability to absorb the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth and the essence of the sun and moon, its own strength was not strong.
However, Ancient Divine Beast, born Deity, can inherit the Innate Ability and knowledge of their race from the depths of their bloodline. That's why they built such an Altar to help themselves grow quickly and also to help these Wolf Tribe improve their cultivation. The Six Layered Illusory Destruction Realm was not set up by its own ability, but by the power of the Altar.
"It's all because of you evil humans! I was cultivating here peacefully, and I never provoked you. Why did you attack us and try to wipe us out?" The little white dog said, its voice filled with helplessness and anger.
With a smile, Zhuge Xiang placed the white puppy on the ground, looking at its somewhat bewildered eyes, and said, "The Cultivation World is inherently a dog-eat-dog world, where one defies the heavens. You have received the inheritance of Ancient Divine Beast, yet you still don't understand the dangers of the Cultivation World? Could it be that in Ancient Times, everyone in the Cultivation World was peaceful and harmonious, working together to find the path to Changsheng?"
Seeing the Moon-Devouring Hound's speechless expression, Zhuge Xiang continued, "How long have you been alive? Do you know where you are?"
"I was born into the Wolf Tribe and was born with the bloodline of the Moon-Devouring Hound. I've been born for more than half a year now. All I know is that the spiritual energy here is abundant, and setting up Spirit Gathering Formation is very beneficial to me and can also enhance the overall strength of the wolf pack. As for what this place is, I really don't know," the Moon-Devouring Hound, shaking its head as it looked at Zhuge Xiang.
"I have to say you're still too inexperienced. You don't even know where you are, yet you're so confidently setting up Spirit Gathering Formation? This is the Endless Mountain Range, which spans 18,000 miles and is our Asura Sect's territory. All the Monster Beast in the Endless Mountain Range are specially cultivated by the Sect for the disciples' training. Naturally, if their cultivation is too strong or their numbers are too large, they will be purged. With your Spirit Gathering Formation set up, the Wolf Tribe's strength is increasing too quickly. Do you think they won't be affected?"
"You mean, Monster Beast within this 18,000-mile radius are actually being kept by your sect?" The Moon-Devouring Hound's eyes widened; it hadn't expected this situation.
Originally, it thought it was a pack of wolves in the wild, but it turned out to be a pack of wolves kept in captivity by humans. It was only half a year old. Although it had the knowledge and talent inherited from its bloodline, the Moon-Devouring Hound was weak and had never left the Wolf Tribe Lair, so it was unaware of this fact.
"No wonder... no wonder so many of you humans have suddenly come... I never imagined it was my Altar that brought ruin to our race," the Moon-Devouring Hound murmured, head bowed and looking remorseful.
"Well? Are you willing to leave with me? Staying here won't end well for you either. If the Sect finds out, even if you're not killed, you'll still be enslaved." After saying so much, Zhuge Xiang finally revealed his purpose, looking at the Moon-Devouring Hound.
The real purpose of Zhuge Xiang was to lure this Ancient Moon Devouring Divine Dog. Putting everything else aside, its Six Layered Illusory Destruction Realm had already given Zhuge Xiang a taste of success. Although the Six Layered Illusory Destruction Realm were very dangerous, the first few Illusionary Realm were still a good way for him to grind monsters. With the assistance of its Illusory Destruction Realm, his growth speed would definitely increase significantly.
"Go with you?" The Moon-Devouring Hound looked intently at Zhuge Xiang, not in a hurry to answer.
"Alright, do you want to come with me? If you don't agree, then we'll leave on our own, and you can fend for yourself in this Wolf Tribe." Seeing that the Moon-Devouring Hound didn't answer, Zhuge Xiang used a feigned retreat to advance, making a move to leave.
"No, I'll go with you," the Wolf Tribe Moon-Devouring Hound out, unable to bear seeing Zhuge Xiang about to leave. The Endless Mountain Range were even more dangerous for Juvenile Stage like himself.
"Alright, break their Illusionary Realm. Do you have a way to prevent others from discovering your identity?" Zhuge Xiang smiled after agreeing, then pointed to Lu Yuling and the others who were still trapped in the Six Layered Illusory Destruction Realm.
"I naturally have a way. Although my Divine Sense is not strong enough to form Spell attack, it is still no problem to affect you humans who have not cultivated Divine Sense and prevent you from seeing me." The Moon-Devouring Hound jumped onto Zhuge Xiang's shoulder and slowly faded away until it disappeared. If it weren't for the weight on his shoulder, Zhuge Xiang would not have been able to sense the Moon-Devouring Hound's presence.
The Six Layered Illusory Destruction Realm stopped, and Lu Yuling, Zhang Kuang, and Hua Nongying also woke up. Hua Nongying looked exhausted, Lu Yuling was just breathing a little rapidly, but Zhang Kuang was still eager to go back into the Illusion Formation and wreak havoc.
"It seems that I broke the Illusionary Realm, and your Illusionary Realm broke along with it, but the Demon Wolf is gone," Zhuge Xiang said, pretending to have just woken up as he looked around after seeing Lu Yuling and the others come to their senses.
"They're gone?" Looking around, the giant wolf was indeed no longer on the Altar. Although puzzled, most of them were relieved that the giant wolf, which might be Fairy, had left.
"We don't know when that Demon Wolf will return, so we'd better leave quickly." Cautious and fearful of the giant wolf's return, Hua Nongying wished she could leave as soon as possible.
"Don't rush, we can't waste these 108 Spirit Stone!" Zhuge Xiang jumped up and used his weapon to dig the Spirit Stone off the stone pillar one by one. Seeing Zhuge Xiang's actions, Hua Nongying and the others also jumped up in a hurry.
