Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 2: Heaven-Seizing Hand

Amidst the loud roar, the little demons looked at King Pingshan, who was knocked to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust and not knowing whether he was dead or alive, and they suddenly became panicked and at a loss.

"The king is dead!!! Run!"

At this moment, someone among the group of little demons suddenly screamed! The group of little demons were immediately awakened and began to scream and flee out of the cave in a mess!

"King Pingshan has been killed! Run!"

"The King is dead! Run!!"

"Ouch!! Who stepped on my tail?"

Niu Yi glanced at the little demons who were fleeing in panic and ignored them. He looked at the gradually dissipating dust and fog. The golden light and magic power filled with Buddha's nature on his body rose rapidly and turned into a golden divine bull more than ten meters high behind him.

Condensing Qi into Gang!

"Moo——"

Niu Yi raised his left hand slightly, and the golden divine bull formed by the energy behind him let out a long moo, raised its left front hoof, and as Niu Yi pressed down with his palm, the front hoof suddenly pressed towards the leopard monster!

After all, it is a big monster and it won’t die so easily.

However, the pitch-black axe that had just been knocked away by the giant rock hand not far away suddenly vibrated and hummed, and flew up in an instant, turning into a black light and flying into the dust and fog with a sound of breaking through the air.

"roar-----"

I saw a surge of dark demonic power in the dust and fog. The leopard demon quickly shed its human form and turned into a pitch-black leopard demon with demonic energy rising all over its body. It was several meters tall and collided violently with the golden bull hoof that fell from the sky!
As the divine bull's hoof pressed down, the pitch-black panther demon was instantly blasted into the ground without any resistance! The entire mountain began to tremble violently, startling the birds and beasts outside the mountain, who fled screaming!

In the cave, many rocks collapsed from the top of the cave and crashed into the pit blasted by Niu Yi, making a rumbling sound.

A moment later, as the mountain stopped shaking, the dust and fog in the huge pit in front of Niu Yi dissipated, and the corpse of a black panther covered in blood and with its eyes open suddenly appeared in the pit.

Niu Yi dispersed the golden divine bull behind him and slowly walked to the front of the pit.

He looked at the leopard demon's corpse calmly, stretched out his palm, and unspeakable rays of light flashed on Niu Yi's palm, pulling something out of the leopard demon's body. It fell into Niu Yi's hand and turned into a ball of white light with rising spiritual energy.

The leopard demon who called himself the King of Pingshan had some tricks, but that was all. After all, he was only a demon of the second realm of the demon clan, a whole realm lower than him, and he had no special tricks. There was no possibility of him turning over in Niu Yi's hands.

There are seven realms in the demon race: little demon, big demon, demon general, demon commander, demon king, great demon king, and demon saint. Each realm is a different level of heaven and is extremely difficult to cross.

The king that the monsters talk about is not necessarily a big monster with the strength of a monster king. For example, on the peaks of Jindou Mountain within a radius of 300 miles, there are three monsters called kings that Niu Yi knows of alone, but each of these three monsters has the strength of a big monster and can only fight small battles.

Within a thousand miles, there was a tiger demon who had become a spirit. He had the strength of a demon commander and gathered thirty-six groups of demons nearby, calling himself the Tiger Roaring King.

[Leopard Monster Talent Extracted: Bear Heart and Leopard Courage (White)]

[Bear-hearted and Courageous Talent: Gain amazing courage.]

Seeing this scene, Niu Yi's mouth twitched, remembering the leopard monster's extremely stubborn behavior.
Niu Yi doesn't want such reckless courage.

"Improve your meditation talent."

Niu Yi put his five fingers together and crushed the ball of white light. The ball of light instantly turned into a stream of air and merged with Niu Yi, merging into his demon soul.

[Bear Bile and Leopard Heart talent has been consumed, and the Calmness talent has been improved]

[Calm Mind (White) - Heart Like a Spiritual Platform (Blue)] [Heart Like a Spiritual Platform: Greatly improves your understanding, not being burdened by external things, and your mind is clear. You can enter the spiritual platform state once every twelve hours]

As the system sound rang in his ears, Niu Yi felt that his mind became clearer and clearer like a mirror with dust wiped off. There were many passages in the Heart Sutra that he did not understand when practicing it, but now he suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment in his heart.

"This Heaven-stealing Hand is truly terrifying, worthy of being the top-level, colorful-level innate magical power."

Niu Yi exclaimed in admiration, saying that this Heaven-stealing Hand could forcibly and randomly seize one of the opponent's innate magical powers, which was truly against the will of heaven.

Putting aside magical powers, what is talent? As the name suggests, it is something bestowed by heaven, and most of it is innate, just like his talent for treasure hunting and meditation, or the legendary five-colored divine light of the Peacock King, or the dragon clan's ability to summon wind and rain. These are all innate magical powers.

Of course, there are also those who acquire it through acquired training, but this situation is rare.

But even the things given by God can be taken away by him with his Heaven-stealing Hand.

It is precisely because of this that Niu Yi usually doesn't dare to reveal anything. Even when he absorbed the leopard monster's talent, he did it after the leopard monster died. You know, his treasure-hunting talent as the reincarnated Duobao Ox is already coveted by others, not to mention this heaven-defying Heaven-Grabbing Hand!

If anyone knows about it, spread it out
Niu Yi shuddered when he thought of this.

Anyone who sees him display his Heaven-Snatching Hand talent will die! Their bones will be ground to dust! Not even their soul will be spared!!!
After a while, Niu Yi cleaned up the head and tail, picked up the leopard monster's giant axe, left the cave, and walked towards his own Jindou Mountain.

[Fine Iron Giant Axe (White): The leopard demon enslaved human craftsmen to forge this fine iron giant axe. However, once the axe was completed, the leopard demon threw the human craftsmen into the furnace to sharpen it, causing the axe to always carry a faint resentment.]

"They are some poor fellows. This giant fine iron axe is also a valuable item. Niu Li hasn't mastered the weapon yet. I'll use the Paramita Heart Sutra to purify the resentment on it and give it to him to use."

When Niu Yi returned to the foot of Jindou Mountain, he unexpectedly saw an old man wearing official clothes lying in a pear wood rocking chair, waiting for him.

"Knock here, eh~~yes, yes, right here~"

"Ouch!! Why are you exerting so much strength? Are you trying to break my old bones?"

"And you! The fan was almost hitting me in the face!"

Niu Feng, who was fanning himself, heard this and immediately gasped through his huge nostrils. He threw the fan to the ground and shouted angrily:

"You old man are bullying the cows too much! If my leader hadn't told me to treat you well, you would have been hanging from a tree and swinging on it by now!"

The old man in the rocking chair heard this, but he was not angry. He just stroked his white beard and looked at Niu Feng with a smile, saying:

"Hey~ you naughty little bull spirit, you guys attacked me and hung me on a tree swing for half a month. Now I just want you to fan me and massage my legs, and you're not happy about it? Fine, fine, since you don't want me to do it~ then I'll leave~"

As the old man spoke, he pulled out the branch-like hairpin from his head and placed it in his hand. In the blink of an eye, the wooden hairpin turned into a wooden stick full of life. The old man stood up with the help of the stick and was about to leave.

"Eeeeeee!!!"

When the three demons Niu and Feng saw this scene, they immediately became anxious and rushed forward to block the old man's way.

Of course they really disliked this old man who could only transform into a stick and burrow underground, but their leader Niu Yi paid special attention to this old man and treated him with great courtesy. If they let their leader know that the old man left because of the three of them, they would not be able to explain to their leader!

The old man showed a smug smile on his face, but suddenly heard Niu Yi's voice coming from the forest not far in front of him.

"The God of Land has arrived. I'm sorry for not welcoming you."
