Lin Yu sneered, "Is that so? Then I'll see who can make whom pay the price!"
The Demon Beast King was indeed at the early stage of the Heavenly Monarch realm, but Lin Yu was not afraid of him. Lin Yu was currently at the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending realm, roughly the same level as him. Moreover, Lin Yu possessed three great divine abilities, which were no joke.
Lin Yu flipped his hand, and the mysterious dagger appeared in his palm.
The mysterious dagger is an ancient artifact with immense power, capable of easily breaking through the defenses of a demon beast king and cutting through iron like mud. Unfortunately, Lin Yu Lin Yu only use it once, so he has not used it until now.
"You brat, prepare to die! Today is your death anniversary!"
The demon king roared, its figure blurred, and it pounced on Lin Yu again.
"Hmph!"
Lin Yu snorted coldly, and with a swift movement, he faced the Demon Beast King.
The two quickly became entangled in combat. Both were injured, but none were serious; they were merely superficial wounds. Unlike ordinary people who would heal in a few days with minimal treatment, these two possessed the formidable physical attributes of cultivators, allowing them to recover rapidly from injuries.
The two fought fiercely all the way and soon entered the depths of the jungle. The environment here was excellent, with abundant spiritual herbs and towering trees. Each towering tree was about a hundred feet tall, and many rare medicinal herbs grew on the towering trees. There were also quite a few demonic beasts in the forest, including several transformed demonic beasts, all of which had the cultivation level of the Heavenly Monarch.
These demonic beasts all possess at least the cultivation level of the mid-stage Heavenly Monarch.
"Boom!"
On a large tree, the Beast King and Lin Yu clashed. Lin Yu slashed down with his sword, instantly cutting the tree in half. Taking advantage of the momentum, Lin Yu retreated, avoiding the Beast King's attack.
"Damn it, this kid actually managed to block my attack?" The Beast King's face was frighteningly gloomy.
"Not bad, a demon beast of your strength is nothing special in my eyes. I still have a treasure I haven't used yet. If you want to see it, I'll open your eyes." Lin Yu sneered, then waved his hand, and a bronze gourd appeared in the storage ring on his wrist.
"A gourd?" The Beast King's gaze sharpened. "Could it be that you are...?"
Lin Yu sneered and waved his hand, causing the gourd lid to open automatically.
The gourd lid was opened, and a strong, nauseating smell of blood wafted out.
The Beast King's expression changed drastically, his eyes widening in shock.
The smell of blood was coming from that gourd.
The Beast King didn't know what was inside the gourd, but the stench of blood sent shivers down his spine.
That was the blood essence of living beings, a thick, rich blood essence, like a river. Enveloped in the blood-red mist were the corpses of countless demonic beasts, scattered all over the ground. A huge pool of blood floated within it.
Hanging in the blood pool were Baigu, all of them from demonic Baigu, and living ones at that. Some of these Baigu belonged to humans, some to demonic beasts, and some even to demonic cores.
Ah~
The Beast King let out a miserable cry, turned, and fled. "Boy, I'll remember this! Once I recover, I'll definitely come knocking on your door and make you wish you were dead!"
A cold smile appeared on Lin Yu's lips. He ignored the fleeing demon king and continued forward.
The blood pool was enormous, with nearly ten thousand Baigu floating within it, emitting bursts of bloody light.
As Lin Yu walked forward, he used his divine sense to investigate the changes in the blood pool. His divine sense could easily penetrate the blood pool and reach the corpses of the demonic beasts inside. There were countless powerful demonic beast corpses in the blood pool, and among them was the corpse of a demonic king-level demonic beast. This demonic beast should be the king among these demonic beasts.
Lin Yu's divine sense quickly discovered the corpse of the demon king, which was the body of a demon tiger. That beast had been dead for many years.
"Huh? What's this demon king doing here?"
The aura emanating from this demonic tiger king was incredibly powerful, comparable to a demonic beast at the early stage of the Heavenly Monarch realm. However, its cultivation level was not high; it hadn't even reached the mid-stage of the Demon King realm, and was merely an ordinary demonic beast.
However, this monster has one advantage: its physical body is incredibly strong. Moreover, it seems to be very afraid of fire, as fire has a restraining effect on it.
"Flame!"
"This is fire elemental power! These flames are all formed from fire!" Lin Yu's heart stirred, and he suddenly thought of the magical fire bead. "Could this fire bead have fallen from this demonic tiger?"
The demon tiger is a fire-attribute demon beast, and fire has a strong restraining effect on it.
Thinking of this, Lin Yu no longer cared about searching for the demon core. He quickly used his magic to capture the body of the demon tiger, and then stored the Flame Pearl in his Qiankun Bag.
Only after receiving the Flame Pearl did Lin Yu feel relieved.
"Whoosh!"
Lin Yu's figure disappeared from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of the demon beast king.
Boom!
Lin Yu punched the demon beast king in the chest, shattering its sternum. The terrifying impact even caused its body to explode.
Ah...
The Beast King let out a miserable cry, then flew backward, arcing through the air before crashing into the distant jungle.
"Bang!"
Dust billowed from the beast king's body, indicating that it had been badly injured in the fall.
"Hmph, just a mere demon beast king, daring to fight me? He's simply courting death!" Lin Yu said indifferently, then continued forward.
"Boom boom boom..."
Lin Yu killed several demon beast kings in succession before stopping the pursuit.
His target was a swamp, but this swamp was more than just a swamp; it contained a thick layer of venom that could corrode the flesh of demonic beasts.
"The venom in this swamp has a strong restraining effect on demonic beasts. Moreover, this venom can corrode the flesh of demonic beasts. If it encounters a powerful demonic beast, it can even corrode its flesh and turn it into pus," Lin Yu thought to himself, and then cautiously approached the swamp.
Although the venom in the swamp was not fatal, it was highly corrosive, and Lin Yu was worried about encountering danger.
"Huh? There are people in the swamp!"
At the edge of the swamp, there was a cave entrance, from which came faint fluctuations—fluid fluctuations that were just right to counter Lin Yu's soul.
"Who is it?!"
At the entrance of the cave, a man was sitting cross-legged inside, healing his wounds. Beside him lay a demonic beast, a peak fourth-tier beast, which had fallen unconscious due to the venom from the cave entrance.
Lin Yu's divine sense swept over and quickly locked onto the man.
