Loves Drinking Beast Milk

Little One ran over to Shi Lin.

"Look, Brother Lin, a Treasure Bone!" Little One's eyes gleamed.

"Mm!" Shi Lin smiled warmly and rubbed Little One's head.

Little One's performance had left everyone utterly dumbfounded. He'd actually succeeded, leaving them speechless. Was there any justice in this?!

That was the passage of the Void God Realm, after all. Who would have dared target it before? Doing so was nothing short of having too much time on one's hands and defying all reason. This green kid had come in acting like a little miser, and in the end, he'd actually managed to get his hands on a bone.

A crowd cursed, unable to accept the truth.

"If this little fool can break the extreme limit, something's fishy. I can't put my finger on what's wrong!"

"He broke a record? Is this for real? I'll give it a try later. Surely I'm not worse than some green kid!"

Little One held the Treasure Bone, overjoyed, turning it this way and that to examine it. The Rune Bone was flawless white, shimmering with color, translucent and bright. Powerful runes lay within it; at a glance, it was clearly no ordinary object.

"Little friend, didn't we have an agreement? If you succeeded, I would trade a large amount of Essence Coins for this bone." An old man with white hair and beard approached with a beaming smile.

"When did I ever make an agreement with you? I still need to study it myself. I won't trade!" Little One refused.

Little One didn't even look up, utterly unmoved.

What a brat, the old man fumed. Earlier, Little One had even asked him for advice, but he hadn't felt like saying much. Now the tables had turned, and when he went out of his way to explain things to the little fool, the kid wouldn't even give him the time of day.

"Little friend, in return for lending you my weapon, could you consider selling me the Treasure Bone?" A middle-aged man edged closer.

"So it's Uncle Hammer." Little One looked up.

The middle-aged man's forehead creased with irritation. "I'll say it again: that hammer has nothing to do with me."

"Isn't it yours? If it isn't, why could you lend it to me? And why are you saying 'in return for the hammer' now?" Little One blinked his big eyes, genuinely confused.

"You little rascal!" The middle-aged man fumed, nearly losing his temper.

Everyone burst out laughing.

Next, everyone's eyes burned with greed. Though they were all crying foul inside, they still crowded around, fixing their gazes on the glistening Rune Bone in Little One's hands.

Suddenly, a stone stele rose into the air, wreathed in mist. A line of text appeared upon it, each character shining brightly and ringing like metal struck against metal.

"Shatter the Initial Ground passage and receive one Primitive Treasure Bone."

The line of text trembled ceaselessly, its strokes as sharp as iron hooks, brilliantly radiant. It lit up the sky like ten thousand swords ringing in unison, startling everyone nearby.

"He really did set a new record. The Void God Realm has already recorded it and announced it to the world!" The crowd was astonished, then broke into a flurry of discussion.

"This little fool's famous now. He made such a commotion on his very first visit. Honestly..." Everyone was at a loss, feeling there was no justice in the world.

The stele gleamed as it drew near Little One, leaving him baffled. He muttered, "You still owe me three bones!"

The crowd went mad. That little miser—of all times to keep thinking about it!

"Enter the relevant information to complete the record," Lord Bird advised, a five-colored bird perched on his shoulder.

"Thanks, Lord Bird."

"Go on, get out of here!" The old man's beard bristled with anger.

Little One scratched his head, then stood before the stele. Everything felt so novel, yet he had no idea where to begin. He gestured for a long while without writing anything.

"You don't have to write your real information. You can put anything you like, such as what you like most or love most," the kind young woman reminded him.

Shi Lin rubbed his head and smiled wryly.

Little One was delighted. He raised his hand and swiftly wrote five characters at the very top: Loves Drinking Beast Milk.

Runes flickered on the stele. The strokes he had written immediately glowed, imprinting themselves upon it in dazzling brilliance.

Everyone turned to stone. Silence fell in an instant.

"What's wrong?!" Little One sensed something was amiss.

In the next moment, the crowd erupted in laughter, mouths gaping. Some doubled over laughing.

"That's an interesting name. Heh heh heh..."

"Little fool, have you not been weaned yet?"

The crowd kept laughing. "What? This is a name? Weren't you asking me to write what I liked most, what I loved most?" Little One's little face darkened. This was so embarrassing.

The kind young woman explained, "I meant you don't have to write your real name. You can use the treasure you love most, or a divine bird or ferocious beast you like best. My name here is Cailuan."

Little One made a face and asked softly, "Can I change it?"

"No!" everyone answered in unison, their voices loud and clear. No matter how you looked at it, they were laughing at him.

Little One was mortified. This was far too humiliating. How was he supposed to show his face with a name like that?

"Hurry up. There's still one more line to carve," someone urged.

The stele remained before him, flowing with Divine Radiance and radiating a peaceful energy as it waited for Little One to carve another line. This time, he didn't dare write carelessly. He hesitated for a long while before asking, "What am I supposed to write this time? Make it clear."

"Just truthfully write down the area in which you broke the extreme limit," a middle-aged man said.

This time, they didn't laugh. Everyone waited solemnly for him to write.

Little One wrote down two characters: Extreme Speed.

"This time I got it right, didn't I?" he murmured.

Someone nodded. "Yes, you got it right. If it's true, the Void God Realm will offer you a measure of protection from now on, since you set a record in the Initial Ground."

"There's such a thing?" Little One's eyes widened, and he could hardly sit still.

"If it's a lie, you won't get those benefits. They say you'll often receive 'special attention' instead, and be put through some 'special' trials," someone nearby added.

Little One stared blankly, his little face darkening even further.

At that moment, stone steles rose not only in the Initial Ground, but also in the higher-level Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands. News spread everywhere, dazzling lights shone, and several lines of text appeared.

"Eh, someone broke a record!"

"Who was it? What extreme limit did they break?"

At that moment, the entire Void God Realm trembled. No one dared dismiss any record, for each represented the utmost limit in a particular field and deserved everyone's respect.

"Loves Drinking Beast Milk?!"

When people read those words, their expressions turned strange. What a ridiculous name! Who would be so bored as to use a title like that?

"Could this be some kind of pervert? Heh heh heh..." Quite a few people laughed.

People continued reading. When they reached the line "Shatter the Initial Ground passage," the whole place exploded.

"No way! He did something so outrageous, and they even rewarded him with a Treasure Bone? Is there any justice in this world?"

"Who is this guy? Did he have nothing better to do than wreck the passage? What a beast!"

Everywhere was in an uproar, and everyone cursed him.

The Void God Realm was vast, but whenever a new record appeared, everyone paid attention. After all, the person who set it had to be a fearsome expert, someone who had reached the utmost limit in a certain field!

"What a beast! Who is this kid? He's got everyone, living and dead, furious. It's unforgivable!"

"Just how bored was he? He actually went and wrecked the passage. No wonder it's a new record—no one's ever done anything like that before!"

Everyone was indignant. What they found hardest to accept was that the Void God Realm had actually rewarded him with a Treasure Bone.

"The Rune Bone set into the passage is a rare treasure. It might be the bone of a Primordial Remnant, and it's extremely useful in this world."

"You can get a Treasure Bone just for attacking the passage? Then I'll give it a try too!"

The whole realm erupted. Many people were jealous and eager to try.

That day, the entire Void God Realm was in an uproar. Everywhere, people discussed how to break through the passage, and the strange name "Loves Drinking Beast Milk" was repeated again and again.

"Can that really count as a record? I think it's because no one had ever been so beastly before. Nobody had attacked the passage, so he set the record just like that."

That day, many people tried their luck. Passages everywhere boomed, but they all came away empty-handed. Every attempt failed.

"This won't work. In the higher-level domains, the passages of these Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands must be much sturdier. I think we should try the Initial Ground."

"In the Initial Ground, the most you can bring to bear is the strength of the Blood-Moving Realm. That record still won't be easy to break."

"Those lower-level domains should be easier than these Pure Lands, right? I plan to go try my luck. I heard the bone they rewarded might be on the level of a Primordial Remnant."

"What? It's that precious? If it's a rare king species, that would be even more incredible. Come on, let's go see!"

The Void God Realm was in turmoil. Little One's actions had stirred up unrest everywhere.

In the Initial Ground, specks of light drifted down as the green stone reassembled, appearing once more. Four Treasure Bones were arrayed upon it again. The passage was intact, rebuilt as good as new.

A crowd had gathered there. Uncle Hammer, Lord Bird, and Grandpa Essence Jade stood at the front. The three took turns trying, exhausting themselves until they were spitting blood, but to no avail.

"Little fool, are you messing with us? Did you really break through using your extreme speed?" Uncle Hammer panted. He was a powerful Cave Heaven expert, yet he was no match for a green kid. He had nearly worked himself to death against that massive green stone.

"Really. I'm faster than you!" Little One insisted, then even passed along some "secret techniques," grinning foolishly as he told them they had to keep it confidential.

Half an hour later, the crowd screamed as the light from the massive green stone sent them flying. Their repeated attacks had caused the beast bones to shine, and the runes had interwoven.

"You beast-milk brat, you're lying!"

"You're a real piece of work, kid. You could beat me to death and I still wouldn't believe you ran at extreme speed across this massive green stone!"

The crowd fumed.

Little One suggested that Shi Lin give it a try, but Shi Lin refused. He didn't want to become famous the moment he arrived.

Little One stubbornly refused to admit he had lied. Then he wandered around the Initial Ground, familiarizing himself with the place. The inhabited region was already vast, and beyond it stretched endless primeval forests.

He sensed strange gazes on him. Quite a few people were watching him, and they didn't seem friendly, but he paid them no mind. In the Initial Ground, no matter how high your cultivation was, you could only wield the strength of the Blood-Moving Realm. He had nothing to worry about.

"Child, be careful. Someone has their eye on your Treasure Bone," Lord Bird warned him.

"Milk Baby, why not sell it to me? Otherwise, you'll surely be in danger," Grandpa Essence Jade warned.

Of course, Little One had forced the names Lord Bird, Uncle Hammer, and Grandpa Essence Jade on them. The three had been furious, but there was nothing they could do.

"It's fine. I won't provoke them," Little One said unconcernedly.

Besides, with Shi Lin there, he wasn't afraid.

Everyone was speechless. You might not provoke them, but that didn't mean they wouldn't provoke you. They were already planning to target you!

"They're the ones who want to deal with you," Cailuan quietly reminded him. She thought the child was too foolish and might suffer a great loss.

To the crowd's surprise, the little Milk Baby's eyes lit up. He clenched his tiny fists, looking terribly excited. "Do they have anything good on them?"

Everyone: "..."

Who was trying to rob whom here? The crowd felt as if their minds had gone haywire.

The young woman rolled her eyes. So much for worrying about him. This little miser was just like those people; he was scheming too.

Those with vicious gazes weren't reckless fools. No matter what, "Loves Drinking Beast Milk" was someone who had broken a record. They didn't dare act rashly, instead waiting for the experts from their clans to arrive.

Little One held to his stance of not picking a fight. He learned a great deal about the Initial Ground, then wandered back to the stele and began looking through the records from the past.

"Fire Cloud Immortal, walking upon heavenly fire, reaching the extreme limit in the Way of Fire in the Initial Ground."

Little One's expression turned solemn. This person had to be terrifying. But when he looked at the date beside the record, he froze. It was from tens of thousands of years ago.

He quickly scanned downward, searching for records from recent years.

"Demon Moon: flowers bloomed at a single thought, dead wood sprang back to life. Her vitality was immense; no one in the Blood-Moving Realm could surpass her."

After looking through a great many records, he found that this one was still from a thousand years ago.

At long last, Little One reached the later entries, and a familiar name immediately leapt into view: Shi Yi!

The Double Pupil, Shi Yi, who possessed the same innate talent as the ancient-born Saints and Deities, had indeed come too. He had entered the Void God Realm, and was likely somewhere in its higher-level Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands.

Little One's eyes gleamed with curiosity as he studied the inscription. Several lines on the stele recorded the result: Shi Yi, Double Pupils Split Open the Heavens; slew nine beast kings in a single battle, setting a record for the most kings slain in the Initial Ground. It was an astonishing feat. A single beast king ruled over an entire mountain range, possessed unmatched strength, and stood high above all others. Ordinary people would flee for their lives at the sight of one, with no hope of standing against it.

Beast kings were the absolute peak among those of the same realm, hard to rival. Otherwise, how could they dare call themselves kings?

Beast kings rarely encountered one another under ordinary circumstances, yet Shi Yi had faced nine of them at once in a single battle and slain every one. His achievement was nothing short of glorious!

This record was extraordinary, its value immense. It showed his true combat strength, the very thing so many people sought when tempering themselves.
