Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although Jade Lotus town was only a small border town in the Qing Xuan continent, the herb business in the town was not to be underestimated.

Caravans often visited various places in the Qing Xuan continent to search for spiritual herbs. Among them, some caravans went to the vicinity of the Demon Beast mountain range to buy the spiritual herbs of explorers.

As one of the three big families in Jade Lotus town, the Lin family also had their own caravans that went to the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

Thus, he found the Lin family caravan after Lin Tian left the Lin family, hoping to hitch a ride.

After transmigrating to this fantasy world, Lin Tian had always been too weak to venture outside the Lin family.

Thus, he had never left Jade Lotus town since he was young. The furthest he went was the outskirts of Jade Lotus town.

Thus, Lin Tian had no idea how to get to the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

Lin Tian was quite lucky. When he found the Lin family’s caravan, they happened to set off for the Demonic Beast mountain range today.

The Lin family was not big. If something happened, it would quickly spread throughout the entire Lin family.

Everyone in the Lin family knew that Lin Tian had insulted Liu Qing and beaten up the second young master of the Li family.

Therefore, when the members of the Lin family’s caravan saw that Lin Tian wanted to hitch a ride, they agreed without hesitation.

The Demon Beast mountain range was extremely vast. It was not an exaggeration to say that it ran through the entire Qing Xuan continent.

There was an entrance to the Demon Beast mountain range thousands of miles away from Jade Lotus town, but that was only the tip of the iceberg.

After seven days and seven nights of turbulence, Lin Tian finally arrived outside of the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

“Entering from here is considered entering the demon beast mountain range. It’s not as peaceful as on the road. There might be demon beasts jumping out at any time and place.”

“You have to be 120% alert. Don’t underestimate the danger of this Demon Beast Mountain Range.”

The leader of the Lin family’s caravan pointed at the dense forest not far away and said to Lin Tianyu earnestly.

“Alright, I will take note. Uncle Lin Ge thanks you for caring for me all the way.”

Lin Tian said with a smile.

Lin Ge was the leader of the Lin family’s caravan. On the way, he told Lin Tian many secrets about the Demon Beast mountain range and took great care of him.

At this moment, Lin Tian followed the Lin family’s caravan to a plain.

The Lin family’s caravan would not enter the Demon Beast Mountain Range. Instead, they would go to the city outside the Demon Beast mountain range to buy spiritual plants and herbs.

The rest of the journey would require Lin Tian to go alone.

After that, Lin Tian bade farewell to the Lin family’s caravan and walked straight into the mountain range of demonic beasts with confidence and determination.

Only when Lin Tian entered the mountain range of demonic beasts did he genuinely realize how vast it was.

Those with a slightly poor sense of direction would probably lose their sense of direction after entering.

The surroundings were filled with towering spiritual trees and overgrown shrubs. From time to time, birds and beasts would hear all kinds of strange cries.

Lin Tian held a snow-white and bright longsword in his right hand. He cautiously looked around and slowly walked into the depths of the demonic beast mountain range.

Lin Tian was out for the first time but still a little nervous.

Before he set off, Lin Tian had specially gone to the weapon store in Jade Lotus town to pick up this sword.

Although Lin Tian had never learned any sword techniques, how could he not have a longsword when traveling in the world.

Which man didn’t have an illusion that he had a memory of walking the world with a sword?

“Roar!”

Just as Lin Tian was wandering in the demonic beast mountain range, a leopard-shaped demonic beast in the Qi refining realm pounced on him from the spiritual tree.

After breaking through to the spiritual sea realm, Lin Tian’s senses were greatly enhanced by the abundant spiritual power.

When the leopard-shaped demonic beast appeared, Lin Tian also noticed it at the first moment.

Looking at the rapidly descending leopard-shaped demonic beast, Lin Tian did not feel panic and even felt a trace of excitement in his heart.

“Is This a demonic beast? I can finally test my current strength.”

As he spoke, Lin Tian mobilized the spirit sea in his dantian. The aura around his body suddenly burst out, sweeping up the surrounding leaves and scattering in all directions like a wave of air.

Then, he held the sword in his right hand and attacked the leopard-shaped demonic beast.

After the leopard-shaped demonic beast felt Lin Tian’s spirit sea realm aura, it couldn’t help but feel shocked and immediately retreated in fear.

With a frightened expression, it seemed to be saying, “How did a Qi refining realm demonic beast like me provoke such a person! ?”

However, there was no medicine for regret in this world, and it was useless for the leopard-shaped demonic beast to regret now.

A silver light flashed and slashed from the bottom to the top, causing bright red blood to spill into the air.

Da Da!

After Lin Tian landed on the ground, he saw that the leopard-shaped demonic beast was no longer breathing. It had already been cut in half by his sword.

“It’s so easy. It seems that this demonic beast isn’t powerful.”

Lin Tian muttered softly. After killing this demonic beast, he wasn’t as excited as he had imagined.

He did not even use much of his strength in that sword attack before the other party died.

Moreover, the sword’s body in his hand was not stained with the blood of the demonic beast.

“This demonic beast does not have a demonic core. Perhaps I need to go deeper before I can meet a demonic beast with a demonic core.”

Lin Tian rummaged through the leopard-shaped demonic beast’s body and discovered no trace of a demonic core.

After saying that, Lin Tian headed deeper into the mountain range of demonic beasts.

After that, Lin Tian did not know how far he had walked and how deep the mountain range of demonic beasts was.

He walked from day to night and encountered many demonic beasts along the way, but most of them could not withstand his sword.

His sword skills were clearly not profound, so it could only be said that those demonic beasts were too weak.

Without exception, Lin Tian didn’t find any demonic cores on those weak demonic beasts.

“Looks like I need to set up camp and rest here tonight.”

Lin Tian looked at the pure white full moon in the sky and said calmly.

“Hiss, hiss, hiss!”

Just when Lin Tian was leaning against the spiritual tree to rest, the sound of snake-like tongues was heard.

Not far from Lin Tian, a snake-shaped demonic beast appeared. It was hiding in the darkness, staring at Lin Tian, who was “Sleeping.”

“Eh?”

Lin Tian didn’t open his eyes when he sensed the demonic beast’s presence. He pretended to be asleep, and at the same time, he was on guard against the attack of the demonic beast.

The demonic beast seemed to have sensed that Lin Tian had fallen asleep, and it slowly approached with its long body, leaving a long and thin mark on the ground.

Just when it was five meters away from Lin Tian, the snake-shaped demonic beast suddenly burst out, and it rushed into Lin Tian like a bow and arrow.

“Sea of Souls Realm Demonic Beast!”

At this time, Lin Tian sensed the strength of the demonic beast. It was actually in the same sea of souls realm as him.

He couldn’t help but feel shocked. He quickly jumped up from the ground and dodged the attack of the snake-shaped demonic beast.

In the next second, Lin Tian was hit by the snake-shaped demonic beast on the spot he had just left. It stirred up a cloud of dust, mixed with some wood shavings of spiritual wood.

After landing on the ground, Lin Tian quickly steadied his body and stared forward with a serious expression.

When the smoke and dust dispersed, a ten-meter-long python was revealed.

On the python were flower-like patterns, with two small bumps on its head.

“This can’t be the sky-shocking patterned python, right?”

After seeing the full appearance of the attacking Demonic Beast, Lin Tian couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

Thanks to Lin Yu’er, Lin Tian had seen the information about the sky-shocking patterned python in the Ten Thousand Beasts picture book in her hands.

It was said that this patterned heaven-shocking python was a Sea of Souls Realm Demonic Beast when it was born, and it naturally broke through to the Spirit Soul Realm when it reached adulthood.

Most importantly, its body contained the bloodline of a true dragon, and it could transform into a flood dragon when it reached adulthood, reaching a higher level of demonic beast.

Facing the patterns of a heaven-shocking python, Lin Tian put away his long sword and assumed the stance of the “Heavenly Tiger Collapsing Fist.”

Lin Tian didn’t want to die by using a long sword that he wasn’t good at to deal with this kind of innate advantage demonic beast.

With the circulation of the Heavenly Tiger Collapsing Fist, Lin Tian’s Aura became even stronger.

The sky-shaking python on the opposite side kept spitting its tongue at Lin Tian. Its eyes didn’t move away from him, as if it had already decided to eat him.

“Ha!”

Lin Tian shouted, and his feet immediately exploded with power. His body turned into an afterimage and quickly rushed toward the sky-shaking python the next second. Lin Tian crossed a distance of more than ten meters and arrived in front of the patterned heaven-shocking python.

Before Lin Tian could punch, the python swung its tail first.

The powerful tail smashed fiercely towards Lin Tian, who was on the ground.

In response, Lin Tian withdrew his fist stance and dodged to the side.

Then, taking advantage of this opportunity to attack, he punched out, bringing with it a powerful fist wind as it fiercely smashed onto the python.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

The heavy fist sent the snake flying, and it let out a painful howl.

But before Lin Tian could be happy, the serpent flipped over and attacked again.

Thus, the man and python fought. After an hour, the insufferably arrogant patterned heaven-shocking python finally fell to the ground and could not get up.

At this time, Lin Tian was already covered in dust, and his clothes were full of holes.

Without much rest, Lin Tian slashed open the python’s head with his sword.

“I’ve finally found the demon core!” Looking at a muddy ball, Lin Tian said happily.

“Stop, don’t think about leaving here today.”

After Lin Tian took out the demon core, a voice came from not far away.
