Chapter 162: Natural Spirit
In the Berserk Beast Realm, when the Spirit Beasts were placed, they would become Berserk Beasts; however, there was another type of Berserk Beasts that were born from the corpse of the Demonic Blood Dragon.
Ethan named these corpse-born creatures Natural Berserk Beasts, while the others were called Artificial Berserk Beasts.
Unlike the Artificial Berserk Beasts, these Natural Berserk Beasts couldn't be purified, and killing them would give Life Points.
Due to the scarcity of fresh blood in the Berserk Beast Realm, most of these Natural Berserk Beasts spent most of their time asleep, silently increasing their population.
Because of their hibernation, even the Golden Core Realm Cultivators who were in charge of taking down the Rank 5 Berserk Beasts in the Berserk Beast Realm wouldn't find them.
Therefore, Ethan used the 10,000 Phantom Wolves as bait to wake them up from their sleep before killing them.

'Swoosh'
Ethan waited till the Demonic Blood Birds came close to him before using his most basic sword move.
'Ding,
The host has killed 2,350 Rank 2 Demonic Blood Vultures and earned 4,700 Life Points through [Heaven's Virtue].
'Compared to purifying the Berserk Beasts, killing is much easier.'
It was obvious because Ethan had to be careful while subduing the Artificial Berserk Beasts since if he used too much strength, he could accidentally kill them.
However, when it came to killing them, Ethan could go all out and not worry about anything but instead focus only on accumulating the Life Points.
'Slash'
'Swish'
Soon, Ethan started casually releasing one sword wave after another, killing thousands of Rank 2 Demonic Blood Vultures, accumulating thousands of Life Points.
'Kreeeehhhhhh'
In less than half an hour, Ethan had already cleared almost all of the incoming Rank 2 Demonic Blood Vultures. The scream from earlier resounded once again.
'Swoosh'
Following the eerie scream, a huge Demonic Blood Vulture entered Ethan's vision.
'Here comes another Demonic Blood Vulture King.'
If it had been before, Ethan would have been scared; however, currently, he has multiple Perfection Stage Cultivation Techniques with which he is confident that he can kill it.
'Before it comes to me, I will go and say hello.'
Just because he had the Perfection Stage Cultivation Techniques didn't mean he could easily kill it. He had to kill it in a single attack so that it wouldn't be able to use its ultimate attacks or skills.
Hence, Ethan took the initiative to attack the incoming Demonic Blood Vulture King.
[Night Phantom Camouflage]
[Shadow Steps]
Using these two skills, Ethan left the 10,000 Phantom Wolves behind and vanished into the shadows, blending seamlessly with the surroundings. His presence faded without a trace.
'It's coming.'
"KYEEEH-HAAAH!"
As for the Demonic Blood Vulture King, it slowly descended with a piercing shriek that made all the Phantom Wolves fall unconscious.
Its crimson eyes locked onto those unconscious Phantom Wolves as hunger and bloodlust radiated from its towering, three-meter frame.
However, it didn't rush to eat them because it was searching for the insect that dared to kill its minions.
'Flap flap'
After not sensing that insect, the Demonic Blood Vulture King's massive wings flapped, sending gusts of wind across the battlefield in anger.
'Let's eat the delicacies first before searching for the insect.'
As a Demonic Berserk Beast, compared to taking revenge for its minions, its top priority was always food. Thus, it decided to finish its brunch.
'Glich'
Its sharp, bloodstained talons gleamed ominously as it moved closer to the Phantom Wolves.
'The throat... it seems to be the weak spot.'
Ethan, who was hiding in the shadows, watched its every move and selected the part he wanted to attack.
'It's time.'
The moment the Demonic Blood Vulture King prepared to pick up the Phantom Wolves, Ethan struck.
With a flicker of movement, he reappeared directly above the Vulture King, his sword gleaming with a deathly glow.
'Die.'
[Sky Shattering Sword Art - Horizon Annihilation]
SWISH!
A single sword arc cut through the Demonic Blood Vulture King's thin neck.
For a brief moment, time seemed to freeze. The Vulture King's crimson eyes widened in shock. A thin, almost invisible line appeared across its neck before—
SPLURT!
Dark blood sprayed into the air as its head separated cleanly from its body.
The enormous corpse twitched like a headless chicken for a while before crashing to the ground with a heavy THUD!
Ethan landed gracefully beside the corpse, flicking the blood off his sword.
'Ding,
The host's Heavenly Talent [Heaven's Virtue] has been triggered.
'Ding,
The host has successfully killed a Rank 5 Berserk Beast, the Demonic Blood Vulture King, and gained 10,000 Life Points.
From beginning to end, less than a minute had passed, and Ethan had killed his second Rank 5 Demonic Blood Beast King.
'Although I didn't get more than a million Life Points for killing all the Demonic Blood Vultures, I did get another 300,000 Life Points, which was better than I expected.'
Ethan was excited about those Life Points as he looked at the unconscious Phantom Wolves and thought, 'Let's wait until they wake up before going to the next location.'
He planned to kill more Natural Berserk Beasts because he was planning to submit some of these corpses to the [Beast Extermination Trial] to get a good ranking in it.
Time continued to pass as he changed locations to another Beast Clan Lair before using the same strategy to wake up another batch of Demonic Berserk Beasts before killing them.
'Ding,
The host has killed 4,550 Rank 2 Demonic Blood Snakes and earned 9,100 Life Points through [Heaven's Virtue].

'Ding,
The host has successfully killed a Rank 5 Berserk Beast, the Demonic Blood Wolf King, and gained 10,000 Life Points.
By evening, Ethan had cleared two more batches of Demonic Blood Beasts, earning another 700,000 Life Points, increasing his total accumulated Life Points to 11 million.
'Let's go and meet Shadow Bee before resuming the hunt for the Demonic Blood Beasts.'
Ethan didn't know exactly how many types of Demonic Blood Beasts were born from the Demonic Blood Dragon's corpse, but he wanted to repeat the process until no more Demonic Blood Beasts came to him.
'Guide me to your Queen Bee.'
Ethan released an Azure Killer Bee from his robes and asked it to take him to Shadow Bee, who was keeping the Azure Killer Queen Bee on him.
It was a method that Shadow Bee suggested for them to meet again in the Berserk Beast Realm.
'Buzz'
The Azure Killer Bee buzzed in understanding and was about to fly away when Ethan received a couple of system notifications that pleasantly surprised him.
'Ding,
The host's [Infernal Purity Heart] has been triggered.
'Ding,
The host has attracted a Natural Spirit, The Primordial Beast Spirit.
'What? My Special Talent has finally attracted a Natural Spirit?'
Soon, Ethan became excited as he saw a small transparent, white-coloured lion appear in front of him.
"Are you the Natural Spirit?"
What do you think?
