Too Wild Swallowing Heaven

Liu Wuxie fled in a panic, not knowing how long he had been running. Only after confirming that no one was following him did he slow down. He had already reached the deepest part of the Burial Saint Abyss.

If you venture a few dozen miles further in, you will enter an uninhabited exploration zone. It is said that only Dao Saint level experts dare to venture into it, and even top Ancestral Saint level experts may not be able to escape unscathed.

Liu Wuxie took out a topographical map and compared it with the others; he had obtained it from the cultivators he had killed.

"I am currently in the third spatial rift of the Burial Saint Abyss. If I go any deeper, I will enter the fourth spatial rift. With each additional layer, the spatial pressure will become more intense. Even a Dao Saint expert can only reach the sixth spatial rift at most."

Liu Wuxie put away the topographical map and looked around. The Burial Saint Abyss was vast and boundless. Even if he had a month, he might not be able to explore every part of the third layer of crevices.

After choosing a direction, he held his longsword and carefully ventured deeper.

By unleashing the Ghost Eye, the surrounding vision became increasingly clear, including the situation in the far distance, which could be seen clearly.

The next two days were peaceful. Along the way, they did encounter some other cultivators, but Liu Wuxie avoided them in advance thanks to his Ghost Eyes' perception.

After crossing an underground river, Liu Wuxie saw rows of strange bamboo forests.

"White bamboo!"

Looking at the bamboo forest in the distance, Liu Wuxie's eyes revealed a strange look. Many creatures in this Burial Abyss were completely beyond his comprehension.

Most of the creatures here are newly emerged, and have gradually evolved into their current form based on the environment of this place. Even in the ancient divine realm, they are rarely seen.

"Shhhhhh!"

Before Liu Wuxie could get close, streaks of white bamboo leaves, like curved willow blades, shot towards him with incredible speed.

Liu Wuxie never expected that these white bamboos would actually attack him on their own initiative.

"Clang clang clang!"

Holding a long sword, he easily knocked the bamboo leaves away; each leaf, as hard as steel, slammed into the ground.

Immediately afterwards!

One by one, white bamboo poles were uprooted and transformed into sharp spears, which once again pierced Liu Wuxie.

"What the hell is this?!"

Liu Wuxie was furious. He had only glanced at it out of curiosity, and yet he was besieged by the white bamboo forest.

"Since you've chosen to die, you can't blame me."

Liu Wuxie's murderous intent surged, and he unleashed the Great Star-Picking Hand, suppressing all the white bamboo shoots aimed at him with a crisp cracking sound.

More and more white bamboos transformed into spears, completely surrounding Liu Wuxie. The force unleashed by each bamboo was comparable to a strike from a Xuan Sheng.

It would be difficult for anyone else to withstand it.

"Suppress!"

Liu Wuxie unleashed the Dragon Star Drop, and dozens of times the force of gravity simultaneously crushed down. The bamboo shoots that were aimed at him could not withstand the pressure of gravity and fell to the ground one after another.

"Get out here!"

Liu Wuxie had sensed something was wrong earlier. These bamboos had no spirit and could not possibly harm people on their own. There was only one possibility: someone was secretly controlling these white bamboos.

"Whoosh!"

A strange shadow emerged from the depths of the white bamboo, its sharp claws reaching directly for Liu Wuxie with incredible speed, like lightning, arriving in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, Liu Wuxie was prepared and used the Ancient Cat Demon Technique to easily avoid the attack.

The shadow that lunged at him missed its target and landed on the ground. Only then did Liu Wuxie realize that it was a monster that resembled a demon but was not quite, covered in fur, baring its teeth and claws at him.

Even more terrifying is that its body is as hard as iron, and when it lands on the ground, it makes a metallic clanging sound.

"Do any of you recognize what this is?"

Liu Wuxie asked the cat demon, the thunderbird, and the hidden feather.

They were all ancient demons who knew countless strange beasts, so they should recognize the monster in front of them.

Judging from its appearance, the monster that suddenly appeared resembled the ancient bear tribe. However, apart from the similarity in size, this monster was full of violent energy, and its claws and fangs were extremely sharp.

"Judging from its appearance, it is somewhat similar to a bear demon beast. However, bear demon beasts are gentle and rarely attack humans. This monster is probably a mutated species, or it may have been influenced by the environment in the Burial Abyss and become bloodthirsty!"

The cat demon spoke up at this moment.

Thunderbird and Hidden Feather remained silent, tacitly accepting the cat demon's explanation.

“That’s strange. Although there are demons in Tongyu Ancient City, most of them are managed by the city lord’s mansion. Even though there are some ancient ferocious beasts outside the city, they rarely venture deep into the Tongyu battlefield.”

Liu Wuxie frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled by the sudden appearance of this monster.

"Is it possible that this monster was brought in by someone else?"

The Thunderbird's voice rang out at that moment.

"You mean, this monster was raised by other cultivators?"

Liu Wuxie's eyes narrowed. He couldn't rule out this possibility. Some cultivators were skilled at beast taming and used secret techniques to control powerful beasts to serve them, do things for them, and even collect treasures.

"Master can pluck a branch of the Demon-Subduing Tree. If someone is secretly manipulating it and has the aura of a human imprinted on their body, the branch of the Demon-Subduing Tree will have no effect on them. If the Demon-Subduing Tree can seriously injure them, then they have broken in on their own."

The cat demon continued speaking.

Liu Wuxie immediately broke off a section of the Demon-Subduing Tree branch, about five feet long.

The Demon-Subduing Tree was planted in the Great Wilderness Sacred Realm. In just half a year, it grew to about twice its original height, and its suppressive power became stronger and stronger. If Liu Wuxie hadn't intentionally suppressed it, the souls of these great demons would have been crushed to death by the Demon-Subduing Tree long ago.

Holding the Demon-Subduing Branch, he shot forward and appeared in front of the monster, sweeping it down fiercely.

"Snapped!"

Strangely, when the Demon-Subduing Branch landed on the monster, it did not elicit a particularly strong reaction.

"It was definitely manipulated!"

Liu Wuxie retracted the demon tree branch, a solemn expression appearing in his eyes.

The monster was completely enraged. It bared its fangs and claws at Liu Wuxie and launched itself at him again. The powerful impact shook the ground.

"court death!"

Liu Wuxie was now fully committed to killing, and his long sword slashed down from the air. The incomparably sharp sword energy stirred up waves of energy, blocking the monster's path.

"Since you're asking for death, then I'll grant your wish!"

To prevent the monster from continuing to harass him, Liu Wuxie had no choice but to send him on his way.

The Chasing Sun Finger struck fiercely, a sky-covering finger imprint descending from the sky, sealing off all of the monster's escape routes.

Although the monster was strong, its combat power was at most comparable to a high-level Xuan Sheng. Apart from its thick skin and tough flesh, it was no match for Liu Wuxie.

"You brat, how dare you!"

Just as Liu Wuxie was about to deliver the fatal blow, a sharp shout came from afar, and a cultivator dressed in a blue Taoist robe rushed towards them.

He immediately launched a flying sword, heading straight for Liu Wuxie's body.

"break!"

With a sweeping motion of his longsword, Liu Wuxie deflected the flying sword that was aimed at him.

The Chasing Sun Finger suddenly descended. The monster had strong defenses, and under the crushing force of the Chasing Sun Finger, its body exploded little by little, turning into countless drops of blood.

"Boy, how dare you kill my pet beast!"

The cultivator in the blue Taoist robe appeared before Liu Wuxie, his eyes blazing with fury as he stared at the beast pet that had been reduced to a pile of flesh and blood, wishing he could tear Liu Wuxie to pieces.

“This thing attacked me without any explanation. If I hadn’t been prepared, I would probably be dead by now. Do you think it should have been killed?”

Liu Wuxie's gaze fell on the face of the cultivator in the blue Taoist robe. This person was a high-level Quasi-Saint, and judging from his attire, he should be a disciple of some sect.

The ancient city of Tongyu is filled with numerous sects, but Liu Wuxie only knows a small portion of them; there are many other sects he doesn't know much about.

"You killed my pet beast, now pay with your life!"

The Taoist-robed cultivator completely ignored Liu Wuxie's explanation; he didn't take the other party seriously at all, as he was only at the Profound Saint Realm.

He summoned his flying sword again, emitting strange sword lights that enveloped Liu Wuxie.

“We have no grudges against each other, yet you sent your beast to attack me. Do you really think I’m easy to bully?”

Liu Wuxie was furious. An endless killing intent swept out, causing the Taoist cultivators to retreat continuously, shocked by the aura emanating from Liu Wuxie.

"Boy, you've offended the Beast Sect. Even if you go to heaven or hell, you won't leave alive. I've already notified others, and they're on their way. You'd better just accept your death."

Just now, the Taoist-robed cultivator had secretly notified the others in the sect, and they were rushing here at top speed.

With the help of their beast pets, the Beast Sect thrived in the Burial Abyss. They could send their beast pets to explore dangerous areas, allowing them to reap considerable rewards within the Burial Abyss.

Upon hearing the words "Beast Sect," Liu Wuxie frowned. He had indeed read about the origins of the Beast Sect in the library.

This sect has a profound foundation and raises a large number of ancient ferocious beasts. Once a disciple's cultivation reaches the Quasi-Saint realm, he can tame a ferocious beast as a companion pet.

"If that's the case, then you might as well die!"

Liu Wuxie did not want to start a massacre, but since the other side had already gathered other companions, he could only end the battle quickly and leave this place.

He wasn't sure if the Beast Sect had any Dao Saint experts. If he encountered a top-tier Ancestral Saint or Dao Saint and got entangled with them, it would be difficult to escape.

Liu Wuxie didn't take the advanced Quasi-Saint seriously and immediately unleashed all his killing moves.

"Divine Dragon Mystic Spell!"

A fierce shout and a violent dragon's roar shook the Taoist cultivator so much that he spat out blood.

The Divine Dragon Mystic Curse can attack both the soul and the physical body. The Taoist cultivator's defense was far inferior to Liu Wuxie's, and his defense was easily shattered by the Divine Dragon Mystic Curse. The terrifying shockwave struck his soul directly.

In a single exchange, Liu Wuxie severely injured him. The Taoist-robed man was terrified and fled rapidly into the distance, no longer daring to linger in the fight.

"die!"

Liu Wuxie drew his long sword and suddenly shot out like a shooting star, disappearing in a flash.

"Pfft!"

The flying sword easily pierced through the back of the Taoist cultivator and emerged from his chest, blood continuously dripping from the corner of his mouth.

"I... my senior brother will not let you get away with this."

The Taoist monk fell backward with a look of resentment on his face.

Before his consciousness could dissipate, Liu Wuxie summoned his divine soul and forcibly invaded his soul sea to search for his memories. He needed to learn more about the Beast Sect.

"you you……"

The Taoist-robed man stared wide-eyed as Liu Wuxie's soul invaded his soul sea, powerless to stop it.
