Guardian Ferocious Beast Little Black

Half a day later, Qian Renxue and Ling Feng arrived at the foot of Hidden Sword Peak together.

At the foot of Hidden Sword Peak, Qian Renxue looked up at the towering mountain that vanished into the clouds. A colossal python, a thousand zhang long, clung to its cliffs, while dense forests covered its base and poisonous mist swirled around its peaks. She could not help swallowing.

She tentatively glanced at the unruffled Ling Feng beside her. After swallowing again, Qian Renxue pointed at the sky and asked, "It's so high that I can't even see where the summit is. How are we supposed to get up there?"

"Fly up!" Ling Feng gave Qian Renxue a strange look, wondering what exactly was inside that little head of hers. Hadn't he made it clear when they came here?

"Other than flying, how else are we supposed to get up there?" Ling Feng could not help asking.

"Don't tell me you want to walk up?"

"Not to mention whether Hidden Sword Peak even has a path leading directly to the summit, even if it did, you wouldn't be able to make it up."

"The poisonous mist here is everywhere. If you don't pass through it as quickly as possible, the poison will enter your body."

"Once this poison enters your body, it will merge with your Soul Power and poison it.

"Once the poison exceeds your Soul Power, you'll turn directly into a poison man."

"Also, do you see that giant python in the mountain?"

Standing atop his flying sword, Ling Feng pointed at the giant python amid the mountain and spoke to Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue nodded and looked seriously at the giant python. "I see it!"

The giant python's scales gleamed black, and its thousand-zhang body wrapped around half the mountain, delivering an overwhelming visual shock to Qian Renxue.

Beyond that, the giant python before her gave Qian Renxue an extremely dangerous feeling.

This black giant python seemed capable of crushing a hundred of her.

Qian Renxue was not exaggerating. The python was simply too enormous.

At the same time, Qian Renxue was very curious. How could Ling Feng's Hidden Sword Peak have such a massive python?

Why was poisonous mist surrounding Hidden Sword Peak, with Maze Forest at its foot?

How was Hidden Sword Peak supposed to take in disciples and develop when it had been built in such a godforsaken place?

Qian Renxue could not understand Ling Feng's way of thinking.

But if they were flying up...!

Qian Renxue raised her head once more and looked up at the mountain before her.

It towered into the clouds, piercing the heavens. She had no idea how many kilometers it rose from the ground.

With her current Soul Power, could she really fly all the way to the top?

Poisonous mist coiled through the mountain, beneath its lush green shade. Could the tiny bit of purification power in her Angel Spirit Power really withstand its erosion?

Qian Renxue did not think so.

"This black python is called Little Black. It's a Five-Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and the guardian Soul Beast of Hidden Sword Peak.

"The poisonous mist in the mountain was all released by it."

"F-Five-Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?!" Ling Feng's words interrupted Qian Renxue's thoughts.

Upon hearing that, Qian Renxue was utterly dumbfounded. She stared at the black python coiled amid the mountain with an incredulous gaze.

She swallowed with difficulty once more, her heart filled with boundless shock.

Born in Spirit Hall and strictly raised by her grandfather from a young age,

Qian Renxue had never neglected her studies while cultivating.

She knew that Soul Beasts, like humans, had strict divisions of cultivation level.

Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were extremely dangerous, their strength comparable to that of human Titled Douluo experts.

Relying on the sheer strength of their bodies, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts could even crush all Titled Douluo experts of the same level.

So just how foolish had she been earlier?

How had she dared think that a hundred of her could probably defeat Little Black?

A Five-Hundred-Thousand-Year Ferocious Beast would have more than enough power to defeat not just a hundred of her, but a thousand or even ten thousand.

Qian Renxue put away her ignorance.

She stared respectfully at Little Black, the guardian ferocious beast dozing on the mountainside.

"Mm~!"

"It is indeed a Five-Hundred-Thousand-Year Ferocious Beast. When I first took it in, it wasn't a Five-Hundred-Thousand-Year Ferocious Beast. It was only a weak hundred-year Soul Beast.

"But after following me, an accident caused it to awaken its Tengshe Bloodline.

"From then on, its cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, soaring straight to the level of a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast.

"After that, its cultivation increased by ten thousand years every year. In the blink of an eye, fifty years passed, and it became a Five-Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."

"Its cultivation increases by ten thousand years every year? Then... then in ten years, it'll be a Six-Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?!" Qian Renxue's shock could no longer be described with words.

Its cultivation surged by ten thousand years every year. Wouldn't Little Black become a Million-Year Soul Beast in another fifty years?

"Isn't it a little too big?" Qian Renxue stared at Little Black before her and asked Ling Feng.

One thousand zhang = roughly 3,333 meters.

"Big?" Seeing how inexperienced Qian Renxue was, Ling Feng found it rather amusing.

He shook his head. "Not big at all. This is only Little Black's normal form."

"If Little Black goes berserk and all the Tengshe Bloodline in its body awakens, it will grow wings on its back, and its body can reach a maximum of ten thousand zhang."

Qian Renxue fell into astonishment once again.

"T-Ten thousand zhang?!"

"How huge would that be?!"

Qian Renxue looked at Little Black coiled amid the mountain, her eyes shining.

She really wanted to witness Little Black's ten-thousand-zhang body in its berserk form.

All of a sudden, Qian Renxue realized just how monstrous Ling Feng truly was.

Whether it was the treasures in his hands or the pets he raised, not a single one was ordinary.

The Juque Sword grew heavier as Soul Power increased, reaching a maximum weight of two million jin.

Little Black, the guardian ferocious beast, could gain ten thousand years of cultivation every year, and its body could even reach a terrifying ten thousand zhang.

"Let's go!"

"You'll be living here from now on. You'll have plenty of time to get to know Little Black."

Qian Renxue shook her head and began acting coquettishly toward Ling Feng.

She pointed at Hidden Sword Peak before her, puffing out her cheeks.

"It's too high. I can't even see the top."

"There's poisonous mist around the mountain too. With my current Soul Power Level, I simply can't fly up there."

"I might run out of Soul Power halfway up, lose the ability to fly, and fall to my death."

"So, can I hitch a ride on your flying sword?"

Ling Feng sighed.

Without saying anything, he grabbed her by the back of her collar.

"Don't move. I'll take you up!"

With that, Ling Feng transformed into a streak of light and shot forward, carrying her through the clouds toward the summit of Hidden Sword Peak.

Sensing a powerful presence approaching, Little Black, who had been sleeping, sharply opened its eyes. Those eyes were crimson.

The moment Little Black opened its eyes, Qian Renxue felt as if the entire world had turned crimson.

Endless killing intent enveloped her.

At the same time, the pressure of a Five-Hundred-Thousand-Year Ferocious Beast erupted from Little Black.

In an instant, the entire Hidden Sword Peak shook.

Its enormous jaws opened, drawing the energy of heaven and earth toward them.

A terrifying wave of energy gathered in its mouth, ready to shoot toward Ling Feng and Qian Renxue!

But in the next instant, Little Black discovered that the person flying up on a sword was actually its master!
