Leaving the Gate and Corrosion Paradise

Huang Wuye's entire mind was immersed in the Fire Truth Interpretation, his eyes brighter than they had ever been.

The Fire Truth Interpretation was truly worthy of being the painstaking work of the Huoyu King; it dissected the Laws of Fire with absolute clarity. He felt as though the origin laws of fire were laid bare right before his eyes.

Huang Wuye knew that he only needed to follow the path step by step, and the origin laws of fire would be within his grasp.

Talent had never been his shackle. At this moment, he felt incredibly happy; having arrived in this magnificent world nearly twenty years ago, he finally held the key to becoming a powerhouse in his hands.

As long as he could become an Immortal, Huang Wuye believed he would surely be able to stand at the pinnacle of the universe.

Although Huang Wuye yearned for the wonders of the universe, he understood that he required formidable strength.

Only by possessing the ability to protect himself could he roam the universe and witness its prosperity and splendor. Only then would he have the confidence to encounter various powerful lifeforms and behold the marvels of the cosmos.

"Whew, this Fire Truth Interpretation is truly extraordinary. Without it, my speed of comprehending the laws would be much slower. I didn't expect this original copy to have a genuine amplification effect. It seems the material itself is quite unique."

Huang Wuye sighed softly, then flipped open the space secret manual, Drifting Blood, lying to the side.

"Hmm, this Drifting Blood consists of one hundred and ten volumes, which is far fewer than the Fire Truth Interpretation. That makes sense; Drifting Blood is only a foundational manual. Although the laws of space are considered upper-tier laws, it only covers the basics, so it's normal for it to be shorter.

Oh, this was created by Lian Luo of the Nine Universe School. This Lian Luo was indeed a genius, but he wasn't a true powerhouse after all, falling far too early. It seems one must prioritize survival capabilities.

Great talent is merely an embellishment; a strong mindset and self-awareness are the foundations of true power.

I must take him as a cautionary tale and be even more careful.

However, Lian Luo's talent was not lacking; this Drifting Blood is comparable to the first three volumes of Teacher Huoyu King's Fire Truth Interpretation. This Lian Luo is truly a good man, still shining and contributing to the human race even after death."

Huang Wuye pondered as he read through the Drifting Blood manual, the widening arc of his lips revealing his excellent mood. He cheerfully awarded a "good person" card to a predecessor who had passed away who-knows-how-many years ago.

"Someone like me is destined not to be so selfless in contributing to the human race. Hmm, I just need to become a powerhouse; being a 'genius' is not what I desire."

Huang Wuye's thoughts drifted for a moment, then he seized the time to absorb the knowledge left behind by the deceased predecessor.

As Huang Wuye immersed himself in the comprehension of the laws, time flowed by as quietly as water, leaving only the sound of turning pages to record its existence.

He did not know how much time had passed when Huang Wuye finally awoke from his famished state of study. He stretched his body, which had remained motionless for so long, and a series of cracking sounds echoed from his frame.

Long-dormant power was reawakened, and long-lost hot blood surged through his chest. The E9-grade alloy armor on Huang Wuye's body shifted from a white robe back into battle armor, and an aura of slaughter quietly permeated the air. A faint sound drifted through the silent space.

"Well, it's time to go stretch my muscles. I imagine those lovely fellows must have been missing me!" Huang Wuye stared ahead, as if he could see the ferocious beast shadows in the distance.

Giant Wood Planet, Corrosion Paradise—this was a hunter's paradise.

Corrosion Paradise covered an area of three hundred million square kilometers, a vast expanse twice the size of all the landmasses on Blue Star combined. Two-thirds of this massive area was covered in dense, towering forests.

The reason it was called Corrosion Paradise was that the remaining one-third of the area consisted entirely of swamplands.

In this vast hell of Corrosion Paradise, no one knew how many gargantuan beasts existed, and naturally, there was no shortage of predators at the top of the food chain.

Among these apex predators, three types of fierce beasts were the most brutal, standing firmly at the very peak of the food chain. Their powerful racial abilities allowed them to occupy the top three seats of the food chain securely.

Ranked third was our old friend, the Rot-Tooth Beast. It dominated with sharp claws and teeth and a powerful physique; the highly corrosive saliva in its mouth was also a major threat. Not to mention, Rot-Tooth Beasts were pack animals with large numbers. The group Huang Wuye encountered last time was merely a small colony.

Ranked second was a large beast species. Unlike the pack-dwelling Rot-Tooth Beasts, they preferred to act alone; they were known as Black Armor Leopards.

Every Black Armor Leopard would leave its kin upon reaching adulthood, and every solitary Black Armor Leopard was an formidable predator.

A typical Black Armor Leopard would reach several thousand meters in length and possess the strength and physique of at least a Domain Lord level.

Every Black Armor Leopard was a born warrior. The scales on their bodies, comparable to D-grade alloy, allowed them to ignore most attacks.

Their robust physiques granted them strength far exceeding the norm. Their powerful limbs and sharp claws were their most perfect weapons.

Ranked first on the food chain was a creature similar to a Tyrannosaurus Rex, only it was a Tyrannosaurus Rex magnified countless times. It was called the Dragon Owl.

The Dragon Owl was similar to a Tyrannosaurus Rex, but its forelimbs were not as short and stunted. The Dragon Owl not only possessed powerful hind limbs, but its forelimbs were also not to be underestimated. The most striking feature of its entire body was the crown-like horn atop its head.

That crown-like horn made it appear even more majestic. Every adult Domain Lord-level Dragon Owl would spontaneously comprehend a trace of the Laws of Gold, and among the powerful ones, their comprehension of the Laws of Gold could even rival some genius Domain Lords.

Thus, the Dragon Owl was the true king of this three-hundred-million-square-kilometer Corrosion Paradise.

Of these three, the Rot-Tooth Beasts and the Black Armor Leopards were Huang Wuye's mission targets.

It wasn't because they were powerful—though they were indeed strong—but the real reason they became Huang Wuye's targets was their appetites.

Both species possessed bottomless appetites, requiring them to consume food far exceeding their own body weight every day. Especially the Rot-Tooth Beasts; their powerful digestive systems made them feel hungry easily, and their low intelligence prevented them from overcoming their instincts, forcing them to feed constantly.

This severely disrupted the ecological balance of Giant Wood Planet. Furthermore, they posed a threat to the precious beasts being raised there, so they ended up on Huang Wuye's hunting list.

Of course, this did not mean Huang Wuye's opponents were limited to these two, as other predators would not allow Huang Wuye to run rampant here at will.

Today, Corrosion Paradise was destined not to be peaceful—or rather, it was never peaceful on any given day—but today, it would be exceptionally lively.

Because an uninvited guest was approaching rapidly and was about to stage a lively scene here.

This uninvited guest was none other than Huang Wuye, who had just finished his seclusion.

After comprehending the laws for a while, Huang Wuye now urgently needed a battle to baptize him.

Therefore, he chose this Corrosion Paradise, which was closest to his residence. He believed it would provide him with a pleasant surprise.
