Success and Conclusion

As time passed, the fragrance in the air grew increasingly intense. After an unknown duration, the flower bud finally opened.

Fruits, mostly cyan in color, slowly revealed themselves. Their surfaces were adorned with numerous purple veins, lending them a rather mysterious appearance.

The moment these fruits appeared, the atmosphere in this space grew tense once again.

The Rot-Tooth Beasts and Black Armor Leopards surged toward the Life Fruit, unleashing the fastest speeds of their lives. Even the heavily injured Dragon Owl began to stir, though its massive body trembled before it ceased moving once more.

In this race of speed, the Black Armor Leopards undoubtedly held the upper hand. Four Black Armor Leopards took the lead, widening the gap between themselves and the pack of Rot-Tooth Beasts.

Suddenly, blades of energy were fired through the air toward the Black Armor Leopards, forcing them to dodge helplessly.

Although these attacks could not pose a lethal threat to the Black Armor Leopards, they successfully delayed their advance.

And so, a fierce competition began.

Finally, after a heated struggle, the Black Armor Leopards were on the verge of touching the Life Fruit.

Yet at that moment, a figure flashed by and then vanished.

Back where Huang Wuye had been standing, his form rippled, and suddenly, several fruits appeared in his hand—the Life Fruit.

Huang Wuye examined the fruits in his hand, feeling an intense craving emanating from his body. Without a second thought, he stored the Life Fruit into his World Ring, then flashed a grin at the Rot-Tooth Beasts and Black Armor Leopards, who had turned their gazes toward him.

"You all look quite exhausted, so I'll reluctantly help you take these fruits off your hands."

Whether the Black Armor Leopards and the Rot-Tooth Beasts understood him or not, Huang Wuye did not know, but judging by their furious roars, they seemed very "happy."

That was good; it would make the coming game all the more interesting.

Immediately, Huang Wuye retrieved his long spear and, with a flash, arrived in the midst of the Rot-Tooth Beast pack.

He stood on no ceremony, his spear wreathed in fiery red light as he lunged toward a Domain Lord-level Rot-Tooth Beast, piercing its skull before it could react.

"Prairie Fire, First Form: Endless Life."

Instantly, a massive hole was punched through the beast's skull, and flames ignited within; it was clear it would not survive.

The other Rot-Tooth Beasts were not slow to react. The moment they sensed their companion's death, silver-white energy blades shot toward him, threatening to engulf Huang Wuye in an instant.

"Prairie Fire, Second Form: Avici!" Huang Wuye did not dodge. With a loud shout, his spear danced, creating a barrier of spear shadows that blocked every incoming attack.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" For a time, the sound of collisions was incessant.

After blocking the wave of attacks, the aura in Huang Wuye's hands surged violently. The flames on his spear condensed, and a massive spear shadow expanded outward. As he swept his long spear, the shadow sliced through the pack of Rot-Tooth Beasts.

"Prairie Fire, Third Form: Barren Earth."

As Huang Wuye's voice fell, the Rot-Tooth Beasts, which had been in the midst of attacking, suddenly froze as if a pause button had been pressed, turning into statues.

Suddenly, a series of "Puff! Puff! Puff!" sounds echoed, and clusters of flames erupted from the bodies of the Rot-Tooth Beasts. The scent of roasted meat began to spread.

In an instant, the flames surged, transforming into pillars of fire reaching a thousand meters into the sky. The previously dim sky was suddenly illuminated.

Hundreds of magnificent torches appeared in this space, scorching the air until it warped.

Huang Wuye walked through this world of fire like a monarch. The light from the surrounding torches made his silhouette appear even more imposing.

This pack of Rot-Tooth Beasts had been turned into candles in the blink of an eye.

"It seems I used too much force! The improvement this time seems quite significant." Huang Wuye rubbed his nose, then waved his hand, causing the surrounding flames to vanish into his body.

Looking at the even more devastated land, Huang Wuye felt a twinge of sorrow; even someone as excellent as him could not avoid damaging the environment. In the past, he likely would have faced a prison sentence for this.

Casting aside his cluttered thoughts, Huang Wuye turned his gaze toward the stunned Black Armor Leopards.

Perhaps because the situation had changed too quickly, expressions of fury still lingered on the faces of the Black Armor Leopards.

Before they could change their expressions, Huang Wuye's gaze locked onto them.

The Black Armor Leopards must have felt despair in their hearts. But their remaining sliver of reason told them that fighting to the death was useless; scattering and fleeing might be their only chance.

They acted accordingly, and in the next moment, they tacitly split into several directions to escape.

Huang Wuye watched with interest, and the moment they fled, he moved.

"Void Shadow, First Form: Close as the Horizon."

Four spear beams pierced out. They were not fast, but a bizarre scene unfolded: the fleeing Black Armor Leopards seemed to be flying backward. Their bodies flew back from a distance, the relief of escaping death still etched on their faces.

Their skulls made intimate contact with the spear beams Huang Wuye had thrust.

With a soft sound, all four Black Armor Leopards lost their lives simultaneously.

Huang Wuye looked around at the collapsed trees and the scattered remains, unable to help but click his tongue. Such is the tragedy of life.

Immediately, Huang Wuye flashed and arrived above the Dragon Owl.

Looking at this big fellow, Huang Wuye could not make up his mind for a moment.

At this time, the Dragon Owl's massive body lay on the ground, the huge wound on its body already scabbed over. If one looked closely, one would notice the wound had shrunk slightly.

Loud heartbeats echoed, as if to manifest its vigorous vitality.

"Forget it. You big guy have high intelligence, a decent personality, and look quite impressive. You can be my transport for the time being." After some contemplation, Huang Wuye made his decision.

This Dragon Owl was not on the hunting list, and its personality was gentle, contrary to its ferocious appearance. Coupled with its impressive speed, it made for a decent mount.

Most importantly, having such a mighty mount was quite prestigious, not to mention it still had plenty of potential.

Therefore, Huang Wuye did not dawdle. He waved his hand and stored him directly into his World Ring. Since Dragon Owl was heavily injured and unconscious, he offered no resistance, allowing Huang Wuye to tuck him away into the World Ring with ease.

Huang Wuye did not linger any longer and headed straight back to his residence on Giant Wood Planet.

Upon returning to the base, Huang Wuye released Dragon Owl. After ordering an auxiliary robot to construct a massive recuperation tank, he placed Dragon Owl inside.

He added some nutrients and recovery medication into the tank, then began to take stock of the gains from this cultivation session while waiting for Dragon Owl to wake up.

After all, this big guy could wake up at any moment, and to prevent him from causing any destruction, Huang Wuye had to keep watch here and could only take this time to sort out his own situation.
