Release! The Ground is Covered in Monster Corpses

The scorching sun hung high in the sky.

Li Qingxu wore a loose-fitting training suit, his thick, ink-black hair draped over his shoulders.

Empty-handed, he strode through the wilderness.

This stretch of wilderness might have once been fertile farmland, but after decades, it was now overgrown with weeds.

Perhaps due to the proximity to the military camp, he hadn't seen a single trace of a monster.

He was in no rush, however, following a winding path beneath his feet as he ventured deeper into the wilderness.

Half an hour later.

Following the path, Li Qingxu arrived before a desolate village overgrown with weeds and dense with towering trees.

Faintly, one could see nearly a hundred dilapidated three-to-four-story buildings.

As his footsteps drew closer to the village, the roars of monsters echoed from various directions from time to time.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a muffled roar erupted not far from him.

A monster nearly three meters tall, resembling a tiger with grey-white fur, lunged out from the dense woods.

This was a Low-Level Beast General monster, a Tiger Mastiff, comparable to a human Low-Level War General.

In the eyes of the Tiger Mastiff, there was a bloodthirsty madness.

At this moment, a series of snapping sounds echoed from the dense forest behind it, and a dozen slightly smaller monsters darted out.

Between Beast Soldier and Beast General levels, not only was there a vast gap in strength, but more importantly, the Beast General possessed a certain level of intelligence.

To preserve its life, a Beast General would naturally gather a large number of Beast Soldiers to guard its surroundings.

Except for the very few monsters that preferred to travel alone, the vast majority of Beast Generals were surrounded by many Beast Soldiers.

"Roar!"

Looking at the human before it, the Tiger Mastiff let out a roar, as if issuing a command.

The eleven high-level Beast Soldiers behind it bared their fangs and charged over, as if a heavy Hummer moving at over a hundred kilometers per hour were slamming into him.

"Beasts."

Li Qingxu took a step forward, the ground beneath his feet instantly forming a small crater as his body seemed to transform into a streak of light.

Why did he dare to enter the wilderness without a weapon? Naturally, it was because...

He was a living weapon!

Divine power threads from his Bitter Sea surged forth, gathering in his arms, and a faint golden light emerged on the surface of his limbs.

He formed his hands into fists and swung them continuously at the charging group of high-level Beast Soldiers.

In an instant, four consecutive "Bang! Bang!" sounds were heard.

The skulls of four high-level Beast Soldiers were directly blasted apart.

Immediately following, Li Qingxu sidestepped, taking the opportunity to kick two Beast Soldiers in their flanks.

These two heavy, powerful kicks sent the two Beast Soldiers flying hundreds of meters away.

The difference in strength was too great!

"Roar!"

The remaining five Beast Soldiers roared in place, not daring to advance further.

"Your breath stinks!"

Li Qingxu cursed, his body once again turning into a streak of light as he vanished from his spot.

Almost instantly, five sounds of skulls bursting rang out.

In just over a dozen breaths, all eleven Beast Soldiers had been slaughtered by him.

"Now it's your turn, little dog."

Li Qingxu turned his gaze toward the Beast General-level monster.

"Roar!"

The Low-Level Beast General Tiger Mastiff saw this, its fur standing on end as it let out an angry roar.

The roar echoed continuously through the wilderness forest, shaking the heavens and sending leaves dancing in the air.

The next moment, the Tiger Mastiff lunged violently at the human before it.

"Heh."

Li Qingxu chuckled, his figure like a streak of light, a faint golden glow emerging on his body.

At this moment, he looked like a golden Arhat, his fist slamming toward the Tiger Mastiff's canine head.

"Boom!"

His fist struck the beast's head with a heavy, thunderous impact!

The entire beast body of the Tiger Mastiff was hammered directly into the ground by this punch.

In an instant, dust flew into the air as if a tornado had been whipped up.

"Awoo~"

A miserable dog's howl rang out.

Having suffered a punch from Li Qingxu, this Tiger Mastiff had actually not died and still had the strength to howl.

"Boom!"

Li Qingxu did not show the slightest mercy, unleashing a barrage of strikes directly onto the beast's skull.

The shockwaves generated by the terrifying fist force caused the ground to tremble repeatedly.

Only when a series of crisp cracking sounds echoed did he slowly stop throwing punches.

It was visible to the naked eye that the Tiger Mastiff's entire head had been hammered into a pulp!

"That'll teach you to howl!"

Li Qingxu exhaled a breath and cursed at the monster's corpse once more.

For some reason, he felt a surge of anger toward this canine monster.

After thinking about it carefully, it was likely triggered by that damned Black Emperor from the Shrouding the Heavens world.

He ignored the monster's corpse on the ground and chose to venture deeper into the wilderness instead.

It wasn't until he reached a deep mountain range that he came face-to-face with a high-level beast commander-ranked Black Gold Ape.

The Black Gold Ape stood nearly five meters tall, its massive frame resembling a small giant, and its fists were the size of a human head.

Its entire body was covered in black fur, dark and shiny, as if it were wearing a suit of black gold armor.

Li Qingxu did not hesitate to erupt with his full strength, divine power threads surging from his Bitter Sea to blanket his entire body.

A faint golden radiance enveloped the surface of his skin.

He formed his palms into the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist, engaging the Black Gold Ape in a brutal, head-on collision.

The ground collapsed and trees exploded, the impact resembling the bombardment of small missiles.

In no time at all, this patch of land was ruined beyond recognition, as if it had been turned upside down.

Mud and grass clippings flew through the air, looking as if a torrential rain were falling.

In the middle of the night, the bright moon hung high.

The pure white moonlight illuminated the earth.

Li Qingxu stood where he was, surrounded by piles of various monster corpses at his feet.

They were densely packed, numbering at least several hundred.

The beast blood pooled together, nearly forming a small pond.

"Roar!"

Li Qingxu suddenly let out a long howl toward the sky.

Refreshing!

The feeling of battle was just too exhilarating.

He had finally released all the pent-up drive within his body.

Even though he had been slaughtering monsters for over seven hours, he felt not a hint of fatigue.

In fact, his eyes were bright and spirited, his energy and vitality at their peak.

Yet he did not continue; instead, he found a hilltop and sat cross-legged on the spot.

As cosmic energy poured in, the cells in his body devoured and absorbed it frantically, causing a continuous stream of powerful life essence to overflow.

As the Dao Scripture circulated within his Bitter Sea, his skin began to shimmer with a crystalline luster.

The next moment, Li Qingxu's Bitter Sea suddenly erupted with brilliant golden light, waves surging violently; his entire body glowed with golden radiance as his Bitter Sea slowly expanded.

The divine light was scorching, the waves were ten thousand layers high, and the crashing surf was deafening!

It was as if ten thousand horses were galloping, or endless meteorites were shattering the earth.

Amidst the terrifying sound of the tsunami, there was a rumbling of thunder, with lightning tearing through the sky and weaving above the golden Bitter Sea—the momentum was terrifying.

Li Qingxu focused intently on expanding his golden Bitter Sea.

Divine patterns within the Bitter Sea condensed one after another, like chains of divine iron or streaks of lightning, stretching across the sky of the Bitter Sea.

The golden Bitter Sea underwent another transformation, growing a full circle larger, with the ripples at its center fluctuating even more violently.

Bubbles surged like springs, and upon bursting, they formed a hazy, colorful mist that completely shrouded the area, making the Bitter Sea appear extremely mysterious.

If it were an ordinary body, absorbing this much cosmic energy would have caused it to explode by now.

But he possessed the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, and his Bitter Sea was like a bottomless pit that could never be filled.

The massive amount of life essence generated by his body's cells absorbing cosmic energy all poured into the Bitter Sea.

At this moment, his flesh, organs, and bones were incredibly crystalline, spotless and pure, shining brilliantly like exquisite works of art.

His skin also shimmered with a crystalline luster, and the power of life flowed slowly within him.
