Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

Chapter 301: Chapter 298: Evolution of Divine Skills, Ruyi Golden Radiance Chapter 301: Chapter 298: Evolution of Divine Skills, Ruyi Golden Radiance In the Demon Beast Forest, the dense branches and leaves veiled the starlight and moonlight above with remarkable thoroughness, rendering the surroundings pitch-black, to the extent that one couldn’t see their own outstretched hand.

Suddenly, a gigantic toad leapt out from the dense foliage, vaulting hundreds of yards in a single bound.

Then, with a gentle push from its broad webbed feet against a branch, it darted off again.

In just moments, it had covered a distance of dozens of miles.

Actually, the Swallowing Sky Toad of course knew how to fly, even at the Foundation Establishment Stage, it knew how to utilize the power of space to soar.

Even the magic guides of this realm knew various spells such as Flying Technique, Floating Technique, and Wind Walking Technique, to achieve flight.

How could the Swallowing Sky Toad, with its bloodline inheritance as an Exotic Species Demon Toad, not know how to fly?

It’s just that this creature was accustomed to leaping around, and coupled with the joy of just having advanced in cultivation, it didn’t suppress the elation in its heart.

So even though it had successfully reached Core Formation, which made sky-controlling flight much simpler, it didn’t do so, instead using its own way to express its joy.

Qin Feng was sitting cross-legged on the Swallowing Sky Toad’s back, not concerned with how the toad was making its way.

Now that the Swallowing Sky Toad had advanced in cultivation and had grown stronger physically, a single leap could carry it hundreds of yards, and its descent was so light that Qin Feng didn’t feel the slightest jolt, unlike before when it could only hop a few tens of yards.

In that case, he couldn’t be bothered with how the Swallowing Sky Toad returned, as long as it didn’t delay the journey.

In general, this trip was fortunate, with both the Ruyi Golden Snake and the Swallowing Sky Toad achieving Core Formation, which was a cause for celebration.

Though it was a shame to lose the Spiritual Vulture, given its low level of cultivation, it was inevitable that it would suffer such fate under the attack of a level nine upper-tier Giant Dragon.

Now that it had happened, he couldn’t possibly go back to fight to the death with the White Dragon for the sake of a Riding Tool—that would be suicide.

Qin Feng connected his spirit with the Swallowing Sky Toad’s, asking about the earlier event where it had twisted space to fend off the Thunder Hawk’s attacks.

From the Swallowing Sky Toad’s thoughts, he learned that this was a Divine Power called “Twist Space” that dawned on the toad after it advanced and gained greater control over the power of space.

This Divine Power might sound mystical, but it was actually just a straightforward application of space power.

Those who hadn’t sensed the existence of space power would find it difficult to comprehend, but to those who truly understood space magic, twisting space required only some effort and was not too difficult a task for them.

It was as if space power had become like putty that they could flatten, roll, and stretch to their liking.

If it were Elder Kongkong, not to mention twisting space, even re-creating space would not be difficult for him.

Of course, space possessed powerful self-healing capabilities, and forcibly changing it with external force also came with immense pressure; it needed constant, significant power to maintain.

Otherwise, it would simply be a temporary twist in space to let an opponent’s magic attack bypass one’s body, just like the Swallowing Sky Toad did.

If the Thunder Hawk continued to assail without end, the Swallowing Sky Toad would also not be able to withstand it and would have to dodge quickly.

But even such manipulation of space could make those proficient in space magic become formidable opponents, difficult for others to understand or handle.

At the very least, without the strength to break through space, it would be tough to hurt the Swallowing Sky Toad in a short span of time.

After knowing about the Swallowing Sky Toad’s ability to twist space, Qin Feng delved into the Ruyi Golden Snake.

Since the Swallowing Sky Toad gained new Divine Skills after advancing, the Ruyi Golden Snake, as an Exotic Species Spiritual Snake, should also naturally awaken new Divine Skills upon leveling up.

However, since the Ruyi Golden Snake had been refined by him, lacking its own consciousness, it was uncertain if it could still awaken any Divine Skills or perhaps it had already done so, but he would need to investigate carefully to discover them.

After intently sensing for a while, suddenly, the Ruyi Golden Snake on his wrist shuddered and flew off his arm.

Following that, its mouth opened wide, and from within it sprayed out a burst of golden brightness akin to fine needles as thin as cow hair.

After its advancement, it had not awakened a new Divine Power, but it had perfected the use of Ruyi Golden Light.

Incredibly, it could split the Ruyi Golden Light into thousands of thin needles to assault its foes.

After the needle-like golden brightness passed through an ancient tree, they merged again to form a Long Sword, hovering in midair to slice a chunk of rock on a nearby mountain peak in two.

Then it transformed into forty-nine Flying Swords, executing a sky-high slaughter.

It morphed into a Heavy Hammer, shattering a huge boulder on the mountain summit with one blow.

Transforming into knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, glaives, hooks, and forks, various Divine Weapons—in trials by Qin Feng—proved satisfactory as he experimented with each transformation, after which he contently retracted the Ruyi Golden Light.

He felt joy in his heart; only now did the Ruyi Golden Light truly become deserving of its name.

Although it had always been infinitely variable, it felt somewhat insubstantial after transforming in the past, and it was far from being as freely controllable as it was now, nor could it easily split into multiple strands of golden light.

Now, after advancing, the Ruyi Golden Light not only transformed at will but also gathered and scattered as desired.

He could split it into thousands of strands without affecting his control over the Ruyi Golden Light.

On this evening, both Spiritual Beasts had advanced in succession, yielding such rewards that undoubtedly filled him with elation.

Moreover, through the refining process of the Ruyi Golden Snake and the Dragon Spirit Fruit, he had also come to understand the effects of the Dragon Spirit Fruit.

Given that the Dragon Spirit Fruit of the Fire Element had effortlessly elevated the Ruyi Golden Snake to the Core Formation Stage, then the effect of the other Dragon Spirit Fruit must also not be far behind.

As long as he ingested the Dragon Spirit Fruit, it would definitely allow him to directly advance to the Golden Core stage without the need for any other Spirit Pills to assist.

Even better, he could use the Origin Power of the Giant Dragon Clan contained within the Dragon Spirit Fruit to slightly remodel his body, and perhaps, he might also gain some of the Giant Dragon Clan’s innate Talent Skills.

In fact, apart from some special inheritances of Cultivators, the majority of cultivators in the Cultivation World don’t mind modifying their bodies, as long as they don’t transform in a non-human direction like those of the Demon Sect.

Especially the Body Refining Cultivators, who practice Body Refining Techniques—their practice is to enhance and gradually hone the body beyond ordinary human capabilities.

For example, the cultivators of the Giant Spirit Sect, after achieving Great Success in their Body Refining Techniques, could awaken various Divine Powers and possess the Mountain-Climbing Power and the ability to fill seas, their physical bodies could battle the heavens and earth without any fear.

Such physical forms, of course, have great differences compared to the bodies of ordinary people.

Qin Feng, being a True Disciple of the Spiritual Snake Lineage of the Beast Taming Sect and having cultivated the “Azure Dragon Divine Technique,” had also stepped onto the path of Body Refinement.

Naturally, his future physical body would also be different from ordinary members of the Human Clan.

However, as long as their Bloodline Power did not change, it was not a matter of concern, and they were free to do as they pleased.

Thus, Spirit Fruits like the Dragon Spirit Fruit, which could help improve the body and enhance potential, were always coveted by Body Refining Cultivators as heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

If it weren’t for the need to find a suitable reason to leave the Druid Tribe, he would now be impatient to take out the Dragon Spirit Fruit and consume it to advance to the Golden Core.

But on second thought, he decided against it.

Who knows if the White Dragon would follow the scent once he took out the Dragon Spirit Fruit?

Facing such a powerful Giant Dragon, Qin Feng now only had his Earth Escape Divine Power and the life-saving Jade Talisman given by his master to escape with his life.

Moreover, since he had already used the Earth Escape Divine Power in front of the White Dragon once, the next time he encountered it, the White Dragon would surely be on guard against him.

If the White Dragon attacked with magic as soon as he had just entered the ground and before he had the chance to go deeper, he might be bombed to death by a powerful spell.

As for the treasures given by his master, now he only had two escape Jade Talismans left, and he was not willing to use them recklessly.

The Defense Spiritual Talisman given to him by the eldest senior brother Zhao Qiankun could only withstand ordinary attacks from the Giant Dragon.

Actually, Zhao Qiankun initially thought he was only at the Foundation Establishment Realm and gave him the Defense Spiritual Talisman just to defend against opponents one level higher, never expecting that he could provoke a ninth-level Demon Beast with the strength akin to a Purple Mansion Cultivator.

While he was contemplating, the Swallowing Sky Toad had already arrived not far from the cave where he had previously rested.

This fellow hopped and leaped along the way, bounding and soaring as if flying, rushing for hundreds of miles, and finally venting his joy.

Qin Feng did not let the Swallowing Sky Toad continue forward.

During its leapfrogging journey, it had passed through many Demon Beast territories, inevitably disturbing many Demon Beasts, and there were still quite a few high-level Demon Beasts roaring behind them.

If not for seeing that this toad could run fast and had no intention of staying in their territories, it might have provoked fights.

If he continued to run forward like this, he would easily alarm the Druids ahead.

He recalled the Swallowing Sky Toad back into the Demon Refining Pot and once again employed the Earth Escape Divine Power, returning to the Array he had set up inside the cave from beneath the ground.

He meticulously checked the various traps he had left, and finding no signs of disturbance, he relaxed, collected the Illusion Array, lay down and rested.

Although with his current Cultivation level he could have gone without sleep, after a night full of events, his spirit was somewhat weary.

Besides, he still had to act for the Druids outside, so he simply lay down to rest properly.

After all, when he entered the cave, he had already set up a Magic Trap at the entrance to the cave, so even if a Demon Beast did break in and try to ambush him, it would first trigger the magical alarm.

The next day, early in the morning.

Qin Feng took out food and water that he had prepared in advance from his knapsack, ate a bit, and all his actions were no different from those of an ordinary Druid youth.

After eating, he climbed down the mountain wall and set out to find a suitable Demon Beast.

He suddenly regretted that he hadn’t thought of capturing one of the many Demon Beasts last night to put somewhere for him to collect later, saving him the trouble of further travel.

However, he soon dismissed the thought, as his spirit was stretched tight with the advancement of his two Spiritual Beasts yesterday, leaving him no mind to consider these matters.

Qin Feng quickly gathered his thoughts and, like an ordinary Druid youth, slowly moved forward following some water sources.

Druids do not search for Demon Beasts aimlessly, leaving it to chance.

No one knows if they will encounter the Demon Beast they desire.

When they truly search for Demon Beasts, they mostly start by looking for places with water sources, as such places often have Demon Beasts coming and going.

Then they carefully identify the type of Demon Beast by examining traces like footprints, scents, fallen hair, scales, and even feces left by the Demon Beasts around the water source, thus determining whether the Demon Beast they are looking for is present.

Qin Feng did the same.

As a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, these basic tasks were no trouble for him.

Compared to the knowledge and experience bestowed by the Druids, the inheritance from the Beast Taming Sect was far more comprehensive.
