This Child Shi Teng Had the Makings of a Great Emperor

Shi Teng avoided the villagers and bounded toward the village entrance.

He was a Blood Moving Realm expert now, after all, with ten thousand jin of immense strength. Going out for a little adventure and coming back should be no problem.

He might even get some nice treasures from checking in!

Shi Teng reached the village entrance and bowed to the Willow Deity again. "Big Sister Willow Deity, thank you for your Azure Sky Dragon Transformation Art. Once I become strong, I'll definitely repay you properly!"

The Willow Deity's emerald branches radiated crystalline light and gently brushed over Shi Teng's body.

Her voice held a hint of astonishment. "Boy, your comprehension is impressive. In just one short day, you've entered the Blood Moving Realm, something ordinary people struggle to reach in their entire lives!"

Shi Teng scratched the back of his head a little bashfully. "Hehe, that's all thanks to the Azure Dragon Precious Art you bestowed on me, Big Sister Willow Deity!"

The Willow Deity nodded!

Shi Teng then dashed out toward the world beyond the village, and the Willow Deity's emerald branch swayed gently.

Shi Teng was instantly flung away.

"Boy, primordial beasts roam the mountains and ravines of the Great Wilderness, and primordial remnants lurk everywhere. With your paltry strength, you dare venture out there? Are you trying to deliver your head to them?"

Shi Teng said, "Of course I know that, but I can't stay here forever just because I'm afraid of dying.

"Big Sister Willow Deity, you can protect us for a while, but how could you protect us for a lifetime? We still have to seek strength and opportunities ourselves!"

The Willow Deity nodded slightly, unable to help seeing Shi Teng in a new light.

Having such resolve at his young age was already quite remarkable!

"Very good. It seems you're ready!"

Shi Teng continued, "I wouldn't say ready, but keeping my sorry hide alive won't be a problem!"

"Very good. As long as you can lift my vine, I'll let you leave!"

Looking at the Willow Deity's lush green branch, Shi Teng gave a mischievous grin.

Isn't that easy!

He immediately grabbed the Willow Deity's branch and exerted a little strength, but the willow branch didn't budge!

What the hell!

Shi Teng's eyes flashed, and he exerted strength with both arms at once, yet the willow branch still didn't move in the slightest.

Shi Teng was immediately displeased. "Big Sister, you're obviously cheating!"

The Willow Deity gave a soft chuckle. "I never said I couldn't cheat!"

A fierce gleam instantly shot from Shi Teng's eyes, and he punched at the Willow Deity.

He also wanted to see how far his current strength fell short of hers.

The Willow Deity merely flicked her branch, and Shi Teng was sent flying.

Worthy of the title Ancestral Sacrificial Spirit. She really is strong!

But Shi Teng refused to accept defeat and let out a loud roar. "Again!"

The phantom of an ancient Azure Dragon appeared around him. He pushed off hard with both feet and hurled another punch at the Willow Deity.

This time, Shi Teng was blasted away again and slammed heavily into the ground.

The Willow Deity's expression also revealed astonishment. His ancient azure dragon body truly lived up to its name. Its physical strength was overwhelming!

Shi Teng's blow had carried a full thirty thousand jin of immense force.

But the Willow Deity didn't praise him, lest he grow arrogant. Instead, she spoke with a hint of mockery. "What, you want to leave Stone Village with just this much strength?"

The moment Shi Teng landed, he sprang back into the air, a fierce gleam bursting from his eyes.

"That's not all! Again!"

Shi Teng let out a loud roar.

"Azure Dragon Heaven-Rending Hand!"

Two azure dragon claws seized the Willow Deity's vine, and he exerted strength with both arms.

With every movement, the two dragon claws could clearly be seen tearing at the Willow Deity's vine.

The Willow Deity was astonished again. In just one day, this boy had actually comprehended the Azure Dragon Precious Art!

With such talent at so young an age, his future would be boundless if he encountered another great opportunity.

As expected of someone from that place.

This child Shi Teng has the makings of a Great Emperor!

Watching Shi Teng continue to tear at her vine with all his might, the Willow Deity made her branch tremble slightly, instantly freeing it from his grasp.

She cleared the way!

Shi Teng looked slightly startled. "You aren't stopping me anymore?"

The Willow Deity said in a low voice, "Your strength has proven your worth. Go!"

Shi Teng thanked the Willow Deity, then leaped straight out through the village entrance.

As far as his eyes could see, the Great Wilderness stretched vast and boundless, with towering peaks and deep ravines all around, its endless mountains rising majestically.

"Whooo..."

A fierce gust blew past, and an enormous dark cloud crossed overhead, covering the entire sky.

A savage bird cry rang out from high above, piercing metal and splitting stone. It had actually come from that dark cloud. Upon closer inspection, the cloud was an unimaginably enormous bird that blotted out the sky and sun, its length spanning who knew how many miles.

Shi Teng couldn't help trembling slightly. "Wow, what a huge bird!"

The inside and outside of Stone Village were practically two different worlds.

Ding! Congratulations, host, on checking in at the Great Wilderness. Obtained: damaged Xingtian Axe ×1.

Xingtian, an ancient demon god, was originally a fierce general under the Flame Emperor. Refusing to submit to Xuanyuan, he fought a great battle with the Yellow Emperor.

Xingtian's weapon was the Xingtian Axe, ranked among the Ten Great Demon Weapons.

Currently sealed, it can unleash only one ten-thousandth of its power. It must be nourished with the blood of ancient demon gods to restore its former demonic might!

A look of delight appeared on Shi Teng's face. The Great Wilderness truly was an exciting world.

Although it was only a broken Xingtian Axe, it was still one of the Ten Great Demon Weapons. Once repaired, it should be very powerful!

With a slight shift of Shi Teng's thoughts, an enormous battle-axe appeared in his right hand. Pitch-black from end to end and engraved with the runes of ancient demon gods, it looked like a savage beast baring its fangs.

Shi Teng brought the axe down on the ground, instantly cleaving a trench into it.

Even if it could only unleash one ten-thousandth of its power, it was already very strong!

Shi Teng bounded toward the distant peaks. Since he had come out, he would take a good look around.

Ding! Congratulations, host, on checking in at Sky-Piercing Peak. Obtained: hundred-thousand-year-old ninth-grade purple ganoderma ×1.

Ding! Congratulations, host, on checking in at the Two-Headed Fire Rhino's territory. Obtained: hundred-thousand-year-old cockscomb phoenix sunflower ×1.

As far as his eyes could see, countless primordial beasts roamed the mountain forests of the Great Wilderness.

In a valley not far away, a Two-Headed Fire Rhino was leisurely foraging.

Suddenly,

A figure sprang from the nearby undergrowth, swinging an enormous battle-axe down at the Two-Headed Fire Rhino.

Despite the blow's tremendous force, it hadn't even broken the Two-Headed Fire Rhino's skin.

Startled, the Two-Headed Fire Rhino immediately bolted away in panic.

Two more men emerged from the forest and violently cast out a large net, covering the Two-Headed Fire Rhino.

But it did little good. The Two-Headed Fire Rhino charged forward, instantly dragging both men along the ground.

Shi Teng's brows shifted slightly. These men were none other than the adults from Stone Village.

Their leader was Shi Linhu, Stone Village's foremost warrior.

He was extremely tall, over two meters, and carried an enormous axe weighing more than three hundred jin on his back. Built like a human bear, he had bulging bronze muscles that writhed like snakes and pythons.

Battle-axe in hand, Shi Linhu's enormous figure followed close behind the Two-Headed Fire Rhino.

Seizing the right moment, he sent his battle-axe flying, cleaving into the Two-Headed Fire Rhino's leg.

The Two-Headed Fire Rhino immediately collapsed to the ground and let out a roar.

Shi Teng shook his head gently. "Sigh, the weak are meat for the strong, and the strong reign as kings. That's nature's law of survival.

"There'll be fresh roast meat to eat tonight!"
