That evening, Yang Xiaotian set out for the Red Moon Forest.
After he left, Luo Qing, Liao Kun, Ate, Ali, and others obeyed Yang Xiaotian’s orders, leading a thousand slaves to the Red Moon Forest to hunt monsters as well.
In the past few months, although the strength of Yang Xiaotian’s slaves had continuously improved, they had not experienced any actual combat.
Therefore, Yang Xiaotian had Luo Qing and the others take the group to the Red Moon Forest for rigorous training for two months.
Several days later, Yang Xiaotian entered the Red Moon Forest, starting his search for a suitable mount.
Like the Martial Souls of humans, the spirit beasts also had a hierarchy. Martial Souls ranged from one to ten levels, with the Supreme Martial Spirit being above the tenth level.
Similarly, based on the strength of their bloodline, spirit beasts were classified from one to ten levels, with King Beasts, Divine Beasts, and Supreme Divine Beasts above the tenth level.
Not long after entering the Red Moon Forest, Yang Xiaotian encountered a pack of wolf beasts.
There were many types of wolf beasts, including the Sky Wolf, the Howling Sky Wolf, the Blood Wolf, and the Silver Moon Wolf King.
The pack he came across were Sky Wolves, swift in movement and strong in attack, a kind of seventh-level spirit beast.
Although seventh-level spirit beasts are considered high-level, they still did not meet Yang Xiaotian’s requirements. He directly sent these Sky Wolves flying with a punch.
Yang Xiaotian continued deeper into the Red Moon Forest.
Afterward, he encountered a Red-Tailed Poison Scorpion.
It was not small in size, with a strong bloodline, ranking higher than the Sky Wolves as a high-tier seventh-level spirit beast. However, it still did not meet Yang Xiaotian’s requirements, so he killed it with a sword thrust.
Yang Xiaotian went further into the forest.
A day quickly passed.
As night fell, Yang Xiaotian sat cross-legged on a large tree to meditate and rest.
Although he encountered many monsters today, they were generally mid-level, with the highest being of the seventh level.
However, this was the perimeter of the Red Moon Forest, so it was normal not to encounter any beasts above the eighth level.
The next day, Yang Xiaotian continued deeper into the forest.
As he ventured further, the monsters he met became increasingly powerful, some even at the Martial King Realm.
But generally, they were only eighth-level or ninth-level bloodline beasts.
There were no tenth-level bloodline beasts, let alone those with King-level bloodlines.
“Although the Red Moon Forest is a breeding ground for monsters, there aren’t any Spirit Veins here, which makes it difficult to attract King Beasts and Divine Beasts. It’s hard for you to find a King Beast or Divine Beast here,” Medicine Cauldron said. “Unless you go somewhere else.”
Somewhere else?
Yang Xiaotian smiled bitterly. “Although there are a few other places where monsters thrive within the Divine Dragon Empire, they are not within the territory of the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom. They are too far away, and a round trip would take more than three months.”
After thinking for a while, Medicine Cauldron asked,
“Forbidden areas?” Yang Xiaotian said. “There are a few.”
One is the Heavenly Tribulation Cave they had previously visited, another is Thunder Lake, and another is Volcano.
These three places are extremely dangerous, and not even the strongest in the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom dared to venture deep into them.
“Let’s go check out Thunder Lake first,” Medicine Cauldron suggested after some thought.
Thunder Lake? Yang Xiaotian’s brow furrowed.
The rumor was that Thunder Lake was filled with all kinds of thunder forces, even Heavenly Thunder, which Emperors dared not approach.
However, since Medicine Cauldron had spoken, Yang Xiaotian set his mind at ease and headed in the direction of Thunder Lake.
Thunder Lake was far from his current location, and it took several days to reach it.
From a great distance, Yang Xiaotian could only see the sky ahead lit up with thunder and lightning, all kinds of it—Heavenly Thunder, Purple Fire Thunder, Ethereal Wood Thunder, and even Five-Colored Thunder.
Although he was quite far away, Yang Xiaotian could still feel the terrifying power of these thunders.
Just as Yang Xiaotian was approaching Thunder Lake, its waters suddenly began to surge violently. The astonishing power of thunder spilled out, and the entire lake turned wildly tumultuous.
Seeing the various types of thunderous power gushing out like a tide, Yang Xiaotian quickly retreated in shock.
However, as he kept retreating, the lake became even more violent, continuously spilling its thunderous power outward.
Yang Xiaotian retreated further and further.
Finally, when Yang Xiaotian had retreated far enough,
Thunder Lake’s surface suddenly exploded with a thunderous boom, and a beast as huge as a mountain rose slowly from the depths of the lake before eventually coming to rest above the surface of Thunder Lake.
Staring at the mountainous beast enshrouded in lightning above the lake, Yang Xiaotian gasped in astonishment, “Is that the Azure Thunder Python?!” The Azure Thunder Python, an ancient Divine Beast!
Descended from the primordial Azure Pythons and Thunder Dragons. It carries the bloodlines of both the Azure Pythons and the Thunder Dragons.
“Yes, that is the Azure Thunder Python,” Medicine Cauldron spoke, “And by its aura, it seems it’s about to undergo the Divine Tribulation.”
“Undergo the Divine Tribulation!” Yang Xiaotian exclaimed in disbelief.
Did that not mean that this Azure Thunder Python was on the verge of attaining the Divine Spirit Realm?
For the Human Race and mystical beasts to overcome the Divine Tribulation, success would mean becoming a Martial God, or what is referred to as the Divine Spirit Realm.
“However, this Azure Thunder Python has an old injury in its demon core, and its foundation isn’t very solid. The chances of it overcoming the Divine Tribulation aren’t very high,” Medicine Cauldron shook his head.
Seeing that Master Ding could even discern an old injury in the opponent’s demon core, Yang Xiaotian asked, “Isn’t that Azure Thunder Python in danger then? What are its chances of overcoming the Divine Tribulation?”
“Only fifty percent,” Medicine Cauldron replied.
Fifty percent!
In other words, there was only a fifty percent chance of success.
If the Tribulation were to fail, then this Azure Thunder Python before him was facing annihilation.
“An event like the Azure Thunder Python undergoing the Divine Tribulation is
a rare sight in a millennium. You should watch closely later; it will help you in your future encounter with the Divine Tribulation,” Medicine Cauldron said.
Yang Xiaotian nodded.
Considering the fearsome power of the Tribulation Thunder, Yang Xiaotian retreated again, only stopping when he reached the spot that Medicine Cauldron had designated.
No sooner had Yang Xiaotian stopped than the Azure Thunder Python’s entire body flared with intense lightning, and countless forces of thunder from the lake began to circle around it.
Above Red Moon Forest, the sky suddenly darkened, and a colossal black cloud rapidly formed in the blink of an eye. Within the cloud, lightning flickered violently, and soon the lightning spread, as an overwhelming pressure enveloped the surroundings.
Even though Yang Xiaotian was already far enough from the Azure Thunder Python, he still felt suffocated under this tremendous pressure, finding it difficult even to breathe.
“That’s the Heavenly Might!” Medicine Cauldron declared, “Fortunately, you’ve already broken through to the Martial King Realm. Otherwise, just standing here would have knocked you out cold.”
“You should feel the Heavenly Might to its full extent. It will be beneficial to both your soul and your spirit,” he continued.
Yang Xiaotian nodded, facing the force of the Heavenly Might and feeling the power of Heaven and Earth contained within it.
As the force of the Tribulation Thunder in the sky grew stronger, the face of the Azure Thunder Python above Thunder Lake turned exceedingly solemn. Its dragon scales began to tighten.
With every bit they tightened, the lightning around its body grew more intense.
While the Azure Thunder Python was strengthening its defenses and power, suddenly, a humming sound! A beam of thunderous light exploded from above the Nine Heavens, and a terrifying pillar of lightning fell with ferocious speed and power towards the Azure Thunder Python.
That humming, though not loud, seemed to penetrate deep into the soul, making Yang Xiaotian’s spirit tremble, while the Azure Thunder Python’s mind was bombarded with ongoing explosions.
