Silver Creature

Beside the lake stood a cliff face adorned with several ancient pine trees, verdant and aged, coiled like crouching dragons. Nearby, four stalks of spiritual herbs grew in a row, flowing with a crystalline luster.

These were four Red Orchids, their entire bodies resembling blood diamonds. They shimmered with dazzling radiance, having grown by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and emitted a refreshing fragrance.

Even Bai Yixin was amazed. In the outside world, a single spiritual herb required a Spirit Mountain to gestate, making them extremely rare, yet here there were four growing together, which was truly astonishing.

The spiritual energy in this small world was far too dense, which was the only reason a single location could nurture four such spiritual objects.

Bai Yixin leaped up, stepping onto the cliff wall.

However, just as he neared the four spiritual herbs, he suddenly felt a slight chill in his body. He looked up abruptly and discovered a humanoid creature appearing above, looking down at him.

"BOOM!"

This creature was incredibly overbearing. With a single stomp, the cliff face collapsed, surging down with a rumble like a flash flood.

Thousands of pounds of boulders came rolling down, and there was no shortage of massive rocks weighing tens of thousands of pounds, falling one after another.

"Looking for trouble?! You're courting death!!"

Bai Yixin sneered and met the attack head-on, stepping on the falling boulders as he soared into the sky.

The humanoid creature on the cliff wall unfurled a scroll and compared it to Little One and the others who had rushed over upon seeing the commotion. His silver pupils flared with intense light as he said, "It is you."

"You must be that rather special child among the humans?" He stared at the ascending Bai Yixin, his silver eyes terrifying and piercingly sharp.

"Huh? You came looking for the Bear Child? Are you here to die?!" Bai Yixin frowned. This was a guy drawn in by the reputation of Little One, the Bear Child.

"The Nine-Headed Golden Lion said it wanted to subdue you, but I refuse to let it have its way. Come with me, become my battle servant, and one day when I release you back to the human race, you shall surely be able to carve out land and be crowned a king!"

The Silver Creature stood upon a massive boulder, looking down at Bai Yixin, speaking to himself while ignoring everyone else. His entire body was silver-white, shimmering with divine radiance, and he exuded a terrifying aura!

"Oh? A piece of trash like you wants me to be a battle servant? In my eyes, you're just a dish!! I wonder how many pounds of meat you have on that frame?" Bai Yixin's face darkened. Although he knew the creature had mistaken him for the Bear Child, the audacity to suggest he become a battle servant was a path to self-destruction!

"?" You... are you sure you are speaking to me?" The Silver Creature stood on the boulder, his face dazed and stunned. Is this brat in front of me really a human? How is it that the moment he opens his mouth, he talks about eating me?

"Heh, what do you think?" Bai Yixin waved his hand at Little One and the others who had run over, telling them to go back and continue preparing the meal, then spoke to the Silver Creature with utter disdain.

"Awoo..." The Silver Creature roared, causing the mountain forest to tremble and rustle, leaves dancing in the air. His face was incredibly gloomy as the silver light receded, revealing his true form.

He was truly infuriated. He had never seen a human like this before—wanting to eat him? Had the boy gone insane?

He possessed a human form, but his body was covered in fine silver scales. His face resembled a human's, made of flesh and blood, and he looked quite handsome. What was most distinctive were his silver pupils, which were piercing and intimidating, and his head of silver hair cascaded down like a waterfall.

It had always been him eating humans, and other creatures would flee upon seeing him. Now, a human had actually appeared who wanted to eat him, causing his expression to change drastically as he transformed into a streak of silver light and lunged forward.

"I shall teach you how to show respect to a future king!"

The silver light was like a raging tide, violent and astonishing. In an instant, he reached close range and threw a punch at Bai Yixin's head, whipping up a gale that sent the surrounding hundred-pound rocks flying.

Bai Yixin was not afraid in the slightest and met him head-on, preparing for a clash of pure strength. His black hair flew backward, making him look less childish and more heroic, his breath coming out like a rainbow.

"BOOM"

Their fists collided, producing a thunderous roar.

It was like a bolt of lightning exploding. The Silver Creature's silver eyes widened abruptly, filled with shock.

Following that, runes densely covered his palms, rapidly weaving together.

Bai Yixin's expression remained unchanged as he lightly retreated, landing beside the four Red Orchids and gathering them up to prevent them from being destroyed in the ensuing battle.

The Silver Creature's palms were trembling. He gasped, realizing he was no match in terms of pure physical strength. Had he not used his Rune Secret Power at the critical moment, he might have suffered a great loss just now.

He attacked again, his silver pupils suddenly glowing and transforming into two silver beams over ten meters long. They flew out at high speed, more terrifying than arrows shot from a divine bow.

Bai Yixin's expression remained calm as he struck out rapidly. His palms became translucent and turned a golden yellow, a blazing sheet of lightning crackling and snapping as it instantly descended.

The world turned brilliant; golden lightning danced with silver beams!

But it was clear that the golden lightning was superior. The ferocious and manic golden lightning tore the silver light to shreds, carrying the remaining force to strike the Silver Creature.

Scorch marks appeared on the Silver Creature's body, and he stumbled backward, a scale falling off. He revealed a look of shock and said, "The Suanni King's Treasure Technique!"

"So strong! No wonder the Nine-Headed Golden Lion wants to take you as a battle servant. I've decided to snatch you for myself!" The Silver Creature spoke, his gaze growing even more intense. At the same time, a sheet of silver light rose around him, burning fiercely. He stood in the center like a king, looking down at his servant, his aura suddenly growing more than ten times stronger!

"Awoo..."

He lunged forward, carrying endless silver light, crashing down like a vast ocean.

Bai Yixin became slightly serious. He had indeed come to the right place; the guys outside either relied on their cultivation realm to suppress others or were simply too weak, making it impossible to fight to his heart's content.

Electric arcs flickered over his entire body, golden light soaring into the sky. Bai Yixin transformed into a God of Thunder, raising his hands to unleash golden lightning that crisscrossed and flew, blasting the area apart.

"BANG"

A boulder weighing over two hundred thousand pounds was reduced to powder under the electric arcs, the golden lightning streaking across the sky, chilling the heart.

"PUFF"

The silver light covered the sky and earth, leveling a patch of forest into flat ground, turning it into ashes and leaving only a scene of devastation.

Bai Yixin and the Silver Creature fought fiercely, moving rapidly. The space between them was brilliant, dazzling enough to make one unable to open their eyes, filled everywhere with runes and Treasure Techniques.

The Silver Creature swallowed and spat out runes to attack Bai Yixin, a silver ocean enveloping him. At the same time, his pupils flared with light, combining two Treasure Techniques as he moved to kill.

Suddenly, a blade of grass seemed to flash within Bai Yixin's eyes, and two brilliant, dazzling sword lights shot out from them.

"PUFF!"

The silver creature let out a muffled groan and stumbled backward, two bloody holes appearing on his shoulder as blood gushed out, his face filled with shock.

His Treasure Technique was actually no match for the two beams of light shot from the opponent's eyes?!

Originally, the silver creature had intended to rely on his longer cultivation time to suppress this human genius with the absolute strength of his realm.

Yet, he discovered that he seemingly could not defeat this youth through raw power alone, and even now, the boy appeared to be acting with ease.

"BOOM!"
