This world, described as a small world by Oracle Marquis, is by no means small. At the very least, it's much larger than Earth. Thus, after flying for quite some time, Wang Cheng hadn't encountered a single Stellar level fierce beast. Instead, he had killed quite a few Planet level ones.

At this moment, Wang Cheng didn't immediately have the thought of seeking out a Stellar level fierce beast for a one-on-one fight. Sharpening the axe does not delay the chopping of wood. He felt that the two Fifth-order Force Weapons he had just obtained had great potential to be explored. He planned to spend three days researching these Force Weapons first!

After a while, Wang Cheng found a place he considered very secluded and landed.

"Hope there's a pleasant surprise!"

Wang Cheng mused in his heart, then he took out the two Force Weapons again and began his research.

Wang Cheng was immersed in the research of the intricate patterns on those Force Weapons. Time passed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, three days had gone by.

However, Wang Cheng, who had originally planned to research for three days, still showed no signs of stopping. He remained immersed in those intricate patterns.

The main reason was that the feeling was too wonderful.

Previously, Wang Cheng had no external help and could only comprehend the Lightning Law from nothing. But now, looking at these intricate patterns, not only did the trace of Lightning Law he had previously comprehended become useful, but he also gained a large amount of new insights.

It was precisely because of this that Wang Cheng couldn't help but become immersed in it.

The fourth day, the fifth day, the sixth day, Wang Cheng remained motionless.

Then, on the seventh day, suddenly--

Rumble!

The ground shook violently, emanating from not far from where Wang Cheng had chosen to land. At first, the commotion was distant, but the next moment, it approached Wang Cheng.

"En?"

Suddenly, Wang Cheng snapped back from that wonderful feeling.

"How much time has passed?" Wang Cheng instantly realized this question. However, as the commotion grew closer, Wang Cheng had no choice but to put this matter aside for now. He instantly moved to mid-air and focused his gaze on the distance.

At this time, about a hundred miles away from Wang Cheng, massive amounts of dust were rising frantically, and at the same time, enormous figures were charging towards this direction.

"Beast tide?" Wang Cheng immediately made a judgment. He glanced down at the two Force Weapons in his hands and silently dismissed the idea of running away.

So what if it's a beast tide? Just fight it!

The beast tide was moving extremely fast. One second it was a hundred miles away, and the next it was close to Wang Cheng. At this point, Wang Cheng saw that amidst the massive dust cloud at the front of the beast tide, there was a familiar figure.

"So they were chasing her!"

Wang Cheng understood, but he didn't think too much about it. The next second, the massive Gene Energy within his body surged into the claw in his hand.

Hum!

The intricate patterns on the claw lit up layer by layer. Soon, blue light surged out from the claw, and in an instant, Wang Cheng's body surface was covered by a layer of illusory Lightning Armor.

At the same time, the illusory Claw Mark that erupted from the claw had also grown significantly larger than before. Lightning, like small snakes, coiled around it, giving it an inexplicable power.

"Come on!"

Looking at the ferocious beast tide, Wang Cheng let out a loud laugh. Then, he activated his Lightning Domain and charged forward without hesitation.

Whoosh!

With the enhancement of the triple Lightning Domain, Wang Cheng's speed exceeded 200 kilometers per second, which was much faster than a normal Stellar level ninth order cultivator.

The leading fierce beast was a hundred meters tall, resembling a giant rhinoceros, covered in extremely thick scales. Just looking at its appearance, one could tell its defense was terrifying.

However, as a black shadow flashed by and two massive Claw Marks appeared, the beast, which was running, was directly torn in half.

But the beast, torn in half, did not bleed. Its remains turned black and charred, with countless lightning snakes writhing on them.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The black shadow flickered continuously. The charging beast horde was torn into two pieces one after another without even seeing the enemy's shadow. Amidst a series of shrill cries, the beast horde, which had been charging forward frantically, stopped and then fled in all directions in a panic.

.

At this moment, Jiu Meng, who had been desperately fleeing, also sensed something was wrong. In her haste, she turned her head to look, and then she froze.

The beast horde that had been chasing her had disappeared. Instead, there were dozens of fierce beast corpses on the ground, and each corpse was incomplete, clearly having been violently killed.

"This..." Jiu Meng stopped. She looked at the distance in disbelief. The beast horde that had been chasing her had now become like this.

"It's him!"

Jiu Meng suddenly saw a figure in the sky. Although it was far away, Jiu Meng instantly confirmed Wang Cheng's identity.

At this time, Wang Cheng also turned his head and smiled towards her.

.

Jiu Meng suppressed the shock in her heart. After a moment of thought, she then flew rapidly towards Wang Cheng.

"Thank you!" Jiu Meng stopped in front of Wang Cheng, placing her hands together over her chest and making a gesture that Wang Cheng didn't understand.

"You're welcome. I just happened to run into this," Wang Cheng waved his hand.

"Even so, you still saved me!" Jiu Meng said very seriously. She then continued, "I apologize for what I said before. I hope you don't take it to heart."

"Are you referring to when you said you wanted to repay me?" Wang Cheng asked with feigned confusion. This made Jiu Meng feel a slight relief. She had been worried that Wang Cheng would take the opportunity to mock her, but she didn't expect him to simply let the matter pass.

Wang Cheng naturally didn't know what Jiu Meng was thinking. After a moment's thought, he asked, "The strongest beast in that beast tide just now was Stellar level eighth order, right? I remember your mission was just to hunt Stellar level seventh order beasts, so why did you provoke this beast tide?"

Speaking of this, Jiu Meng's expression also turned serious. Without hesitation, she directly explained, "I've basically explored this world during this period. In this world, Planet level beasts are just food. Stellar level beasts mostly come from the Ten Great Beast Hordes. Among these Ten Great Beast Hordes, three leaders are Stellar level ninth order, and seven leaders are Stellar level eighth order. If I want to hunt Stellar level seventh order beasts, I can only choose from these beast hordes."

As Jiu Meng spoke, Wang Cheng nodded.

This way, everything was easy to understand. Why would this woman choose to attack a beast horde led by a Stellar level eighth order beast, instead of one that contained Stellar level ninth order beasts?

"You mean, there are only three Stellar level ninth order beasts in this world?" Wang Cheng's expression suddenly changed slightly. He knew that his mission was to hunt Stellar level ninth order monsters, and he needed to hunt three of them!

"That should be it!" Jiu Meng nodded.

"How much time has passed now?" Wang Cheng asked again.

"Seven days!"

"Only three days left?" Wang Cheng glanced at the two claw weapons in his hand again. These things were indeed powerful, but they had silently wasted so much of his time. He both loved and hated them!

"I know where the beast hordes led by the three Stellar level ninth order beasts are. If you want to deal with those three leaders, I can take you there!" Jiu Meng didn't know what Wang Cheng had done in the past seven days, but seeing his expression, she quickly guessed some things and proactively offered to take Wang Cheng to find those beast hordes.

When Jiu Meng first arrived in this world, she felt that Wang Cheng would absolutely not be able to complete the mission, which was why she had persuaded him to give up.

But now, after seeing Wang Cheng make a move, she no longer saw him as an ordinary Stellar level first order. What Stellar level first order could kill a Stellar level eighth order like cutting vegetables? And also deal with a bunch of other Stellar level sixth and seventh order beasts?

Of course, Jiu Meng had many doubts, such as why a Stellar level first order could be so strong, but she didn't have the intention to investigate further at this moment. She only knew that Wang Cheng indeed had a high chance of killing Stellar level ninth order monsters, which was enough!

"That's too embarrassing." Wang Cheng smiled. "But, I'll trouble you then!"

"It's nothing!" Jiu Meng smiled. She continued, "By the way, my name is Jiu Meng, from the Snow Woman Clan!"

"I'm Wang Cheng!" Wang Cheng had never heard of the Snow Woman Clan, but since Jiu Meng had introduced herself, she should be from a relatively famous clan in the universe.

Even if they weren't like the "Manka people" with Domain Lord level bloodlines, they should at least be much stronger than Earthlings, right?

After they introduced themselves, they then flew away from there together. Under Jiu Meng's guidance, Wang Cheng soon encountered the first beast horde whose leader was Stellar level ninth order.

"The leader is Stellar level ninth order, and he has three subordinates who are Stellar level eighth order. There are even twenty to thirty Stellar level seventh order beasts." Wang Cheng observed from a distance around the beast horde and quickly confirmed the enemy situation.

"When I hunted Stellar level seventh order monsters before, I always found ways to lure them out individually!" Jiu Meng said in a low voice.

"However, this method is probably not suitable for you. As the leader, this Stellar level ninth order beast probably won't leave the beast horde alone. You'll have to find another way!"

"I already have a way!" Wang Cheng said with a smile, then he asked, "By the way, how many more beasts do you need to complete your trial?"

"Three!" Jiu Meng said.

"That's perfect. For the next three beast hordes, I'll hold back one Stellar level seventh order monster for you in each horde!" Wang Cheng said. Then, wisps of extremely condensed lightning snakes appeared on the two claw weapons in his hands again.

At the same time, a set of Lightning Armor appeared on Wang Cheng's body.

Under Jiu Meng's astonished gaze, Wang Cheng charged forward directly.

"Wait!"

Jiu Meng reached out her hand. She wanted to say something more, but at this moment, Wang Cheng had already arrived above the beast horde.

This was a beast horde that resembled Hungry Wolves, and its leader was covered in golden fur.

Wang Cheng's speed was extremely fast. The other beasts hadn't even reacted, but the leader sensed danger and pounced at Wang Cheng without hesitation.

Whoosh!

Two huge claw marks appeared. In an instant, the beast was sent flying backward.

At the same time, two huge charred wounds appeared on its body.

"You can actually block my attack? Not bad!" Wang Cheng's figure paused slightly, and then he attacked again.
