Chapter 353: The Vitality of Heaven and Earth, Fate is a Circle...
The black savage bull looked at Yang Shi, and froze.
"Vice Sect Master Yang, why must things come to this?"
At this moment, behind Yang Shi, Ding Zhen, clad in a green Daoist robe, flew over, Cat Soul Feather was sitting on a tree branch, Yang Fujian approached by flying sword, and Yang Fuqing dragged her treasure pagoda while stepping on a long-haired parrot.
Such a lineup made the black savage bull despair, and it roared:
"Why!?"
"I've contributed to the Xuan Stone Sect, risked my life!"
"I've helped you catch members of the Demon Clan, I've even saved lost Cultivators!"
"Sect Leader Ding, didn't we kill a disobedient Golden Core python together, have you forgotten?"
"Little kitty, when you were living in the Devil Wind Forest as a youngster, did I ever bully you?"
"Yang Fujian, to advance his realm, your Martial Cultivator killed my great-grandson; did I ever seek revenge on them?"
"Yang Fuqing, didn't your Beast Taming Sect agree to make friends with us Demon Beasts? You let us learn to write, to transform, and you even promised one day to let me live in Bright City, what about today...?"
The savage bull couldn't accept it and desperately explained to everyone, its words filled with urgency, proving it was a kind-hearted Demon Beast.
Yang Fuqing turned her head away, unable to bear the sight; she had indeed said so.
"Please talk some sense into your father, I am kind-hearted!"
Yang Fuqing held the treasure pagoda, and a light of restriction fell upon the savage bull's head, heavy as a mountain, instantly forcing the massive body of the savage bull to kneel down.
"Old bull, farewell. I will educate the other young bulls from a young age..."
The savage bull knelt on the ground, black smoke billowing from its body, aura of the Golden Core Stage bursting forth!
Its body swelled up, black armor adorning its form, gasping with heavy breaths it bellowed:
"I refuse to accept this! I still have 400 years of life span left, the potential of my future is vast, I could become the first Nascent Soul Stage Demon Beast of the Devil Wind Forest! You shouldn't do this! There are many other Golden Core Demon Beasts in the Devil Wind Forest, why choose me! Yang Shi, you look at me!"
Yang Shi gazed at the savage bull and sighed softly.
"Brother Bull, because in the entire Devil Wind Forest, only you most desire to become a Nascent Soul Stage Demon Beast... For the sake of power, you have betrayed your own offspring, and when the Demon Clan came, you were ready to use the power of your bloodline in exchange for promises to you, betraying our Human Clan... Isn't it as easy as breathing?"
"Blame the Demon Clan. If they hadn't come... perhaps you would have been the one to send me off."
With those words from Yang Shi, a hint of rage flickered in the eyes of the savage bull.
"You hold a grudge against me for something that hasn't happened!"
"Yang Shi, you hypocritical scoundrel! You are here for my flesh and blood! Speaking so righteously for what!"
"If you have the guts, fight me one-on-one. If you win, then take it! If I win... let me go, I will leave Devil Wind Forest and never return."
Yang Shi shook his head slightly: "Right and wrong, I alone will bear the responsibility."
"I take your life in order to fight against Demon Clans like you... why bother with the means."
"Gentlemen, please make your move."
Boom!!!
Ding Zhen drew his sword, a golden wave swept over, the spiritual trees around were all split in two, the heavens and earth seemed to be cleaved in two by the sharp golden Sword Qi.
Cat Soul Feather's eyes flashed with a purple glow, and the savage bull's eyes instantly turned purple.
Then, bending forward, it shot an arrow.
Whoosh!
The condensed demonic power carried the arrow straight to the savage bull's eyes.
"Ha!!!"
"Ha!!!"
Yang Shi and Yang Fujian simultaneously erupted in golden True Qi, their hair exploding outward, charging towards the savage bull!
The savage bull's body blazed with black bloodline power, unleashing its strongest might.
"Eye of Death God!"
A racial talent of the savage bull species, capable of killing the souls of its enemies.
Rumbling~~~
Rumbling~~~
Today, the Devil Wind Forest was shaking!
A Golden Core Stage Great Demon, after struggling for a full day, ultimately died at the hands of the human Cultivators.
The other Golden Core Stage Demon Beasts hid in their nests, shivering.
Yang Fuqing, in the end, only skimmed the battle and did not partake in the slaughtering of the savage bull; she went to inspect the area, preparing to soothe the other Demon Beasts.
"Dad, I'm going to clean up the mess..."
Yang Fuqing felt somewhat disheartened, it didn't align with her ideals, but it was what her father wanted, and she had to act.
Luckily, the savage bull did not have a good reputation among the Golden Core Demon Beasts; after she soothed the others, she could still stand on the same front with them.
These Golden Core Stage Demon Beasts... if they could be used by the Danai Dynasty, in the future they could be a huge help against the Demon Clan.
She had always been working hard for this cause.
...
Yang Shi dragged the massive body of the savage bull back to Bright City.
Arriving before the Yang Family ancestral shrine, he knelt down, praying devoutly.
"Great Ancestor, Yang Shi is 120 years old this year, stuck at the peak of the Divinity Realm for 40 years already, never finding the path to break through to the Nirvana Realm."
"I have always been preparing... preparing enough before trying to make the push; I cultivate Divine Skills, cultivate techniques, consume Elixirs, hunt for Divine Items..."
"Now, my body has reached its final peak, but still, I cannot find the Divine Item like the 'Golden Cicada Exuvia' that Fu'er mentioned. Fortunately, Fujian with his exceptional talent, created the 'Seeking Truth Technique'; when I cultivate to the peak, my True Qi solidifying like a ribbon, I gain a bit more confidence."
"The breakthrough to the Nirvana Realm is extremely dangerous, one must confront death to have a chance at life, this is my first and last opportunity. Today, I will use the blood essence of a Golden Core Stage Demon Beast as a catalyst, to attempt the breakthrough to the Nirvana Realm."
"Please, Great Ancestor, bless Yang Shi!"
Yang Shi knelt devoutly, performing a nine-kowtow ceremony.
Today, this might be his last time offering worship to the Great Ancestor.
At that moment, four golden characters shined in the sky.
"I come to help you!"
Seeing the golden characters as reassuring as they had always been, Yang Shi's tears flowed freely.
