The first rays of the morning sun passed through the leaves and sprinkled on the forest. Quiet and peaceful.

"Boom!" The sharp scales violently blasted away the huge rocks blocking the entrance of the cave, and the quietness was instantly broken. He stretched lazily, narrowed his eyes and lay at the entrance of the cave, dispiritedly holding a pile of chaos saliva and stuffing it into his mouth. Under his half-closed eyelids, he was guarding his surroundings vigilantly.

Turning his head back to take a look inside the cave, at that moment, Long Chen was sitting cross-legged within the spirit formation drawn by Sharp Scales. He closed his eyes to absorb the Qi, and the pitch-black longsword was placed horizontally across his knees.

The Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was constantly attracted to the array formation Long Chen was sitting on, then absorbed into his body.

At his dantian, a nebula-shaped ball of spirit energy was continuously compressed. A Qi Gathering stage could use spiritual energy, but spiritual energy was not pure. In addition, the spiritual energy provided by the spiritual energy whirlpool in his dantian was not strong enough, and the Qi Gathering stage could absorb spiritual energy slower, so the more he used it, the more he would be unable to meet the demand. Once he reached the Core Formation stage, the rate at which he absorbed spiritual energy would increase to a new level, and similarly, the amount of spiritual energy he could use would increase by more than twofold.

"Brat, the cannibal branch exists everywhere, in the form of a tribe. Right now, we are about 700 miles away from the nearest cannibal tribe, and each tribe has a leader that can travel a day and a half with the speed of a soldier. I think that this pack of mad dogs have already confirmed our position, so, you only have half a day, after half a day, regardless of whether you have succeeded in reaching the Core Formation stage or not, we will all have to leave. You died on the way back to the Immortal Moon Empire. I was thrown out of the Endless Wilderness.

The Cannibal Faction only allowed others to suffer losses, and he himself couldn't suffer even a little loss. If he suffered a little loss, then he would have to fight to the death with you, and just like what Rui Lin said, using the word cannibal to describe the cannibal bloodline was the most appropriate thing to do.

Long Chen and Rui Lin had killed a member of the Cannibal Faction. This could be considered as having been set up, and it was a conflict that would not end until one side died. If they wanted to end this grudge, either Long Chen would die, or the cannibal lineage would completely disappear from this world.

Long Chen didn't want to die. It wasn't because he feared death, but because he couldn't even figure out who he was before dying. He just felt very unreconciled.

However, in order to go to the Immortal Moon Empire, one had to first increase their cultivation. Moreover, the cannibal tribe was closely following behind them, so it was a matter of time before they would not stop.

Abandoning all distracting thoughts, Long Chen calmed himself down and carefully felt the Spiritual Energy entering his dantian through the pores of his body. The Spiritual Energy whirlpool in his dantian became more and more solid, gradually condensing towards the center.

The moment the black threads entered the spirit energy whirlpool, the entire spirit energy whirlpool was like a huge rock that was thrown into the tranquil water surface. The waves rose and fell and the spirit energy whirlpool started to spin slowly, the rate at which the spirit energy was absorbed increased.

As time passed, the vortex of spiritual power spun faster and faster. Long Chen absorbed the spiritual power faster and the vortex became more and more solid.

A joss stick.

Two incense sticks of time passed.

"Pop — —" A light sound rang out, as if a thin film had been punctured. The formation suddenly released a blinding light, and the heaven and earth spiritual energy madly rushed into the formation in the cave, then was absorbed by Long Chen.

The Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth formed a whirlpool above Long Chen's head and poured into his body. The Spiritual Energy whirlpool in his dantian formed into a pigeon egg-sized Spiritual Pill. The Spiritual Pill continued to spin and the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth continued to pour in.

Sharp Scales let out a strange cry and turned his head to look into the cave. He even had the heart to curse.

"Stinking brat, are you making such a ruckus out of fear that the cannibal tribe doesn't know about it?" Sharp Scaled Beast roared towards the interior of the cave.

Aside from the Spirit Convergence Array carved with sharp scales, there was also a soundproofing array drawn with his hand. Unless he sent a sound transmission, Long Chen was completely unable to hear what the sharp scales were saying.

Sharp Scaled Beast cursed as the tentacles that were sticking out of its nose flickered. Suddenly, a soul pressure swept out in all directions from within the depths of its soul.

Within the forest, whether it was birds or beasts, all of them were on their knees, trembling from head to toe.

After a while, a sound came from the forest. A huge python about a hundred feet in diameter, which was as thick as a bucket, came out of the ground with its red tongue sticking out of its mouth. There was a single horn growing on its forehead, glowing with a faint, cold light.

As soon as the giant python arrived, a giant silver-furred wolf with four wings on its back and three heads kneeled not too far away from the sharp scales.

The ground shook as a small mountain of an ape rushed out of the forest and knelt on the ground.

"The three of you, guard the area. No one is allowed to step within three kilometers of you. Anyone who dares to barge in will be killed without mercy." Sharp Scaled Beast narrowed its eyes. Its body no longer had that indolent and indolent aura, and what replaced it was a haughty and aloof expression that looked down on everything.

The three demon beasts stood in three directions, trembling in fear as they looked at their surroundings.

Inside the cave, Long Chen was completely unaware of what was happening outside. The pigeon egg-sized elixir pill was still spinning non-stop. At this moment, it was almost the size of a baby's fist.

Mo Hei's elixir contained 10 times more spiritual energy than the spiritual energy of the Qi Accumulating stage. A large amount of spiritual power surged into Long Chen's meridians. Many blocked meridians were broken through as if they were made of rotten wood.

The Spirit Gathering Formation stopped. Long Chen let out a long breath, opened his eyes, and waved his hand on the sword. The sword spun and smashed into the wall.

Boom — —

Rocks were sent flying as a large hole was created in the ground. Long Chen's sword, stained with dark spirit energy, flew back. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and with a slight movement of his wrist, the sword disappeared without a trace.

Seeing that the fluctuations of spiritual energy weren't as violent as before, Sharp Scales turned around and entered the cave. Seeing the large hole in the wall, he couldn't help but twitch his face. Fortunately, the soundproofing formation was drawn on, otherwise, the cannibal horde would have arrived even faster.

"He broke through?" "So fast?"

Long Chen nodded, and did not wait for Long Chen to say anything about Sharp Scales before directly urging him, "Hurry up and go, those mad dogs are chasing us, there should be quite a number of them, about two hundred li away. Don't talk about this useless nonsense, hurry up and run, it will be too late if you don't."

Then, he turned around and walked out of the cave with Long Chen following closely behind him.
