I tamed beasts and achieved immortality in the world of cultivation.

"Bang--!"

The fierce palm wind, carrying the powerful spiritual energy of the eighth level of Qi Refining, made the air hum.

Chen Qing's pupils contracted sharply. He simultaneously activated the Flowing Wind Escape and Wind Control Technique to their maximum, his figure drifting backward like a willow catkin in the wind. Three Spirit Turtle Shields spread out in front of him, layer upon layer, shimmering with spiritual light.

But Yang Ming was too fast.

That seemingly bulky body suddenly unleashed a terrifying speed completely disproportionate to its size, catching up to Chen Qing in the blink of an eye and slamming a palm onto the first spirit tortoise shield.

"Snap!"

The Tortoise Shield shattered instantly.

The second and third sides followed closely behind, cracks spreading and the spiritual light dimming, barely managing to block the remaining power of this palm strike.

Just then, a pure white flame roared in from the side!

"Um?"

Yang Ming frowned, withdrew his palm strike, and turned his body to the side, narrowly avoiding the white flame.

The white flames of the crane brushed past his sleeve and landed on an ancient tree behind him. The old tree, as thick as a person's embrace, was instantly burned into a white torch, and in just two breaths it turned into a pile of white ash.

"That's interesting."

Yang Ming stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over Dan Yu, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Junior Brother Chen, your spirit beast is quite impressive. A mid-grade first-tier beast can already spew out such strange fire. If—"

His words came to an abrupt end.

A dazzling burst of spiritual light erupted from both Qingtian and Danyu!

The light came without warning, yet it was extremely intense, illuminating the entire valley as bright as day.

The two auras began to rise rapidly!

In the blink of an eye, he broke through the shackles of the first-tier mid-grade and steadily stepped into the first-tier high-grade!

After a brief pause, one of the two auras continued to rise until it reached the middle level of the first-grade upper level before slowly stabilizing.

Yang Ming's eyes narrowed slightly.

"this……"

Before he could react, the Blood Moon Wolf, following his previous command, let out a low growl and transformed into a blood-red afterimage, lunging towards Qingtian.

The Blood Moon Wolf was extremely fast, and its first-tier superior pressure was overwhelming. It opened its blood-red maw and headed straight for Qingtian's throat!

however!

In a flash of inspiration, Qingtian suddenly turned around, a hint of ferocity flashing in his golden-brown eyes. His four-foot-tall body did not retreat but advanced, his short legs suddenly pushing off the ground, and the whole monkey shot out like a cannonball!

"Bang!"

A punch was thrown, hitting the Blood Moon Wolf squarely in the side!

The crimson protective aura on the Blood Moon Wolf's body flickered violently, cracks spreading everywhere. It was actually hit by this punch, causing it to stagger back several steps with a low growl.

Before it could even stand firmly, a ball of pure white flame was already in front of it.

"Hey——!"

With a flap of its wings, Dan Yu unleashed another burst of white flames from its heart, aimed straight at its face!

The Blood Moon Wolf instinctively turned its head to dodge, but just as its vision was blocked by the flames, a sharp whooshing sound came from the side!

"Whoosh!"

Dan Yu's wings sliced ​​through the air like sharp blades, leaving a flash of blood!

The Blood Moon Wolf let out a miserable howl as one of its hind legs was severed at the root, gushing blood. Its massive five-foot-tall body crashed to the ground, rolling twice before struggling to stand up, but only managing to let out mournful whimpers.

From the moment the Blood Moon Wolf pounced to the moment it collapsed, severely wounded, only two breaths had passed.

Yang Ming stared blankly at the Blood Moon Wolf lying on the ground, then slowly raised his head to look at Qingtian and Danyu, who had returned to stand in front of Chen Qing.

Qingtian's fur stood on end, his golden-brown eyes fixed on Yang Ming, and a low warning growl escaped his throat.

Dan Yu folded its wings, its black bean-like eyes coldly sweeping over Yang Ming, the crimson hue on its head becoming even more vivid and alluring.

A strange change also occurred in Chen Qing's body. His aura began to rise sharply until it was only a thin layer away from the seventh level of Qi Refining, at which point it stopped.

"Hahahaha!"

Seeing this scene before him, Yang Ming showed no fear. Instead, he suddenly laughed loudly, the sound echoing through the valley.

"Junior Brother Chen, Junior Brother Chen..."

He wiped away the tears of laughter from the corners of his eyes, his gaze burning as he stared at Chen Qing. "It seems you possess an immense stroke of luck besides spirit stones! A mid-grade first rank instantly broke through to a high-grade first rank, and even your cultivation level as its master skyrocketed... Tsk tsk, such an opportunity, falling into the hands of a mere Qi Refining Level 6 waste like you, isn't it a waste?"

Chen Qing's face was ashen, and he didn't say a word. A light screen flashed before his eyes, and a series of numbers rapidly decreased.

Yang Ming took a deep breath and slowly raised his right hand.

"Very well, today I'll show you what true strength is."

He formed hand seals, chanted incantations, and his spiritual power surged wildly within him. His aura began to rise in a strange way!

"Dharma Image - Returning Flesh and Blood to Their Origin!"

Yang Ming let out a low roar, and his body began to expand rapidly!

His originally rounded figure suddenly swelled up, his robes were torn open, revealing the bulging muscles underneath, and the veins on his body were like writhing dragons. He grew to a height of eight feet.

Behind him, a blurry, blood-red phantom of a giant wolf appeared, its fangs bared, its eyes bloodshot, and it exuded a nauseating stench of blood.

The Secret Technique of Faxiang Peak: Returning Flesh and Blood to Their Original Form!

This technique is based on devouring a large amount of spirit beast flesh and blood, integrating the spirit beast's essence and spirit into one's own body, and gaining physical strength far exceeding that of others of the same level in a short period of time, which is similar to the principle of body cultivation.

"Junior Brother Chen," Yang Ming cracked his neck, grinning, "Ready?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure vanished from the spot!

Chen Qing's pupils contracted, and he unleashed the full power of his Flowing Wind Escape, retreating rapidly. However, Yang Ming's speed was more than twice as fast as before!

"Too slow."

The sound came from behind, and Chen Qing felt a tremendous force slam into the Spirit Turtle Shield.

"Snap—!"

The three spirit tortoise shields shattered simultaneously, causing Chen Qing's blood and qi to surge, and he staggered.

But he couldn't care less about that. He kept moving, his figure dodging left and right in the valley, alternating between the Wind Control Technique and the Flowing Wind Escape Technique, his whole body turning into a blur as he shuttled through the trees.

However, the gap between the eighth level of Qi Refining and the sixth level of Qi Refining is ultimately too large.

"Bang!"

Another punch landed squarely on Chen Qing's chest.

"puff!"

Chen Qing spat out a mouthful of blood, flew backward, and slid several feet away on the ground.

Although the silver-scaled soft armor glowed with a soft spiritual light, dissipating most of the force, the residual impact still caused his internal organs to churn.

Yang Ming cracked his fist and walked over slowly, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes: "Speaking of which, back in the Yunzhou market, when I saw you buy this silver-scaled soft armor, I thought it was a waste of spirit stones. I never expected this..."

He shook his head, a playful smile on his face: "You actually anticipated that. But you won't be so lucky with your next attack."

He moved and disappeared from the spot once again.

Chen Qing gritted his teeth and got up, unleashing the full power of his Wind Escape technique, and retreated rapidly. But this time, Yang Ming was even faster than before!

Just as the punch was about to land, a small figure finally appeared in front of Chen Qing.

"Bang!"

Yang Ming punched Qingtian, and the sound of bones shattering was clearly audible.

"squeak--!"

Qingtian let out a scream as his body flew backward and crashed heavily into the rock wall behind him. With a loud "boom," the rock wall exploded, creating a deep crater, and debris rained down, burying most of his body.

"Sky-Piercing!"

Chen Qing's eyes were bloodshot.

Just then, Dan Yu attacked from the side, his wings wrapped in Crane Heart White Flame, aiming straight for Yang Ming's neck!

Yang Ming dodged to the side and struck Dan Yu's wing root with a backhand. Dan Yu screamed and flew backward, rolling twice on the ground, its white feathers scattering all over the ground.

"Junior Brother Chen, your spirit beast is quite good, but it's a pity..."

Yang Ming turned his head and looked at Chen Qing, who was forced to the end of the valley, with a ferocious smile. "Without spirit beasts, beast tamers are just lambs to the slaughter."

He moved swiftly, heading straight for Chen Qing.

Chen Qing was forced to the end of the valley, with steep mountain walls behind him, leaving him with no way to retreat.

Yang Ming's fist grew larger and larger in his field of vision, carrying all the spiritual power of the eighth level of Qi Refining. If this punch landed, even the Silver Scale Soft Armor would not be able to withstand it!
