Xiaoxiao.

With the exact locations of Jilei Mountain and Shili Cave, Kuang Zheng quickly arrived at Lei Mang's lair.

Unfortunately, neither Lei Mang nor Zhu Xian were at Leiji Mountain.

Ying Yue, who woke up on the road, gradually accepted the fact that Wu Ren was no longer alive. Although she did not try to kill herself, her hatred for the three lords became even more intense.

Therefore, even if she missed her target at Leiji Mountain, Ying Yue didn't care whether it was Lei Mang or anyone else.

They immediately launched an attack on Thunderstrike Mountain. With Kuang Zheng in command, what waves could the other Thunderscale Devouring Pythons possibly make, no matter how powerful they were?

As expected, Ying Yue completely wiped out the Thunderscale Devouring Python of Thunderstrike Mountain.

This race, which has been passed down from ancient times to the present, miraculously survived a cataclysmic disaster, but unexpectedly, it was wiped out by a human woman.

I wonder what their ancestors would think if they heard this news from beyond the grave, but that's not something we should worry about when trying to correct them.

After this exhilarating battle, Ying Yue gradually emerged from her grief.

After all, the dead cannot be brought back to life, and those who are alive must always look forward.

But after experiencing this, Ying Yue finally grew up.

She clearly understood that this world was a dog-eat-dog world, and without strength, not only could she not control the lives of those she cared about, but she couldn't even control her own.

Therefore, she yearns for power more than ever.

"It seems that Akakage and the other two are determined to be cowards, hehe~~!"

Looking at the battlefield now a wasteland, Kuang Zheng, just like last time, looted the entire Leiji Mountain clean and sighed.

Although Zhu Xian and Lei Mang have both gone into hiding, as the saying goes, "You can run away from the monk, but you can't hide from the temple."

Kuang Zheng didn't stand on ceremony with them and once again dug three feet into the ground at Leiji Mountain.

Everything in the treasure vault of Leiji Mountain, whether you recognize it or not, must be packed up and taken away.

Although some of the rare treasures had already been taken away by Lei Mang, there were still quite a few good things left.

Kuang Zheng simply considered this as receiving interest in advance.

He put all the corpses of the Thunderscale Devouring Pythons into his Dragon Ring, looking at the space ring that had been filled up again.

Although it was still less than one in a thousand, his mood had finally improved.

"What do you mean?" Ying Yue asked curiously after hearing Kuang Zheng's remark.

"I deliberately slowed down my pace along the way, and I encountered red foxes more than once. My purpose was to get them to inform the Red Foxes that we were coming to find them."

Moreover, we've been traveling for over ten days now, so they must have already discovered what happened at Noguchi Pass.

"I originally thought they would ambush us at Kelei Mountain, but as you saw, the entire Thunderscale Devouring Python clan was wiped out, yet we still haven't seen a single trace of them. Isn't that obvious?" Kuang Zheng said.

"How could this be? Logically speaking, with their strength, there's no need for them to do this, right?" Ying Yue asked curiously, although she didn't know exactly how strong Kuang Zheng was at the moment.

However, the three lords are all established sixth-level experts. It should be noted that they are known as the three peak combat forces of the Wild Plains for a reason.

Just like last time, the three of them teamed up against the enemy. In a three-on-one situation, Zhu Xian and his group clearly had the advantage!

Although Yingyue didn't say anything, she was constantly worried.

If she hadn't known that Kuang Zheng wasn't a reckless person, and if she hadn't genuinely been unable to assess his current strength...

Otherwise, she would have stopped them long ago.

After all, the other side was one of the three great lords who had ruled for countless years.

They represent the pinnacle of the wilderness!

However, the performance of Noguchi Pass and Raikizan completely overturned this perception.

First, Zhu Xian had hardly stayed at Yekou Ridge since that battle, while Lei Mang, who was rumored to never leave Leiji Mountain, had never left the mountain.

Because only here can he obtain the lightning power needed for cultivation.

But the result?

Lei Mang had long since left Leiji Mountain.

Their strange behavior completely baffled Ying Yue.

"Hehe... This is not surprising! The so-called sixth level realm and the Nascent Soul realm being roughly equal is entirely fabricated by them, and its purpose is probably to intimidate!"

After all, there are many legends about the Golden Core stage and the Nascent Soul stage above it, which are quite imaginative and awe-inspiring.

I suspect they wanted to use this to deter potential threats in the wilderness, since the wilderness is just too vast.

Given their strength, achieving absolute control is simply impossible.

In order to deter potential challengers, they equated their strength with that of the legendary Nascent Soul Realm, in order to increase their intimidation factor.

Before I reached the Nascent Soul Realm, I also firmly believed in this. But after I successfully advanced, I realized that it was all just their boasting.

"Of course, the second possibility cannot be ruled out either, that is, they simply have no understanding of the strength of the Nascent Soul Realm," Kuang Zheng said.

"Oh? How so?" Kuang Zheng's words successfully piqued Ying Yue's curiosity.

"Perhaps in ancient times, the strength of those legendary beasts at the sixth level was comparable to that of human cultivators at the Nascent Soul level, but beings like Zhu Xian are still far from that level!"

For us, breaking through from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage is a huge and insurmountable gap.

Those cultivators who can successfully overcome this hurdle and enter the Nascent Soul Realm are extremely rare.

Looking at the wild beasts, they faced no obstacles or barriers when advancing from the fifth to the sixth level.

The difference between them can be seen just from the difficulty of promotion, and we humans have innate physical advantages.

The innate physique is not only reflected in the unparalleled speed of cultivation, but also in the unique control over power.

One in ten thousand people possesses an innate physique and breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage. How could their strength after the breakthrough be inferior to that of someone who can advance to the sixth level of the Dao without any obstacles?

"With this comparison, aren't the differences and secrets obvious?" Kuang Zheng said, his gaze fixed on Ying Yue.

After listening for a moment, Ying Yue nodded and replied, "It seems that it is indeed as you said."

"That is precisely why, in terms of both strength and power, those at the sixth level are simply no match for humans."

Given their circumstances, if they were lucky enough to advance to the seventh level, they might be qualified to exchange a few blows with a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage.

To reach the same level of strength as a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stages, one must at least reach the eighth level!

However, of course, those ancient beasts, due to their extraordinary talents, often possessed power that could not be measured or inferred using conventional thinking, and therefore are not included in this category.” Kuang Zheng continued to patiently explain, hoping that Ying Yue could fully understand the reasoning behind it.
