Overlord of the Wilderness

The Purple-haired Wild Boar had just taken to the air when a giant crocodile, over one hundred zhang long, abruptly appeared several miles away, shooting straight toward it.

This hundred-zhang-long giant crocodile was pitch-black and had a pair of hundred-zhang-long black wings. A single flap could send it flying for miles, making it even faster than the Purple-haired Wild Boar. The giant crocodile exuded a tangible Wilderness aura. Wherever it passed, the other Fierce Beasts immediately prostrated themselves, not daring to move a muscle. Its might was in no way inferior to the Purple-haired Wild Boar’s.

’What a magnificent Two-winged Flying Crocodile!’ Zhaang Ye sized up the hundred-zhang-long giant crocodile from afar, marveling inwardly. Most aquatic Fierce Beasts like crocodiles were wingless. Yet this Two-winged Flying Crocodile actually had a pair of hundred-zhang-long wings. It was clearly an ancient variant from the Wilderness. ’No wonder it could become an Overlord in this Little World.’

”SKREEE!”

The Two-winged Flying Crocodile roared at the Purple-haired Wild Boar from a distance, revealing a cavernous, blood-red maw several zhang wide. Its ghastly white teeth were like a row of Sharp Swords.

AWOO!

Hearing the Two-winged Flying Crocodile’s roar, the Purple-haired Wild Boar let out a defiant howl of its own. Its body transformed into a streak of purple light as it took the initiative and charged toward its foe.

Both the Two-winged Flying Crocodile and the Purple-haired Wild Boar were impossibly fast. Flying at full speed, the two powerful Fierce Beasts collided in an instant.

”BOOM!”

The Purple-haired Wild Boar was as fast as lightning and possessed immense strength. The Two-winged Flying Crocodile, however, was also an ancient variant of incredible power. Their collision was earth-shattering. For more than ten miles around, trees were shaken until they snapped to pieces. The pond beside Zhaang Ye surged with ten-thousand-zhang waves, sending an endless torrent of water into the sky in a spectacular display.

”AWOO!”

”SKREEE!”

After the initial clash, the two Fierce Beasts immediately began a desperate battle in midair. The Two-winged Flying Crocodile had immense strength, and its thick, tough hide was impervious to attacks. The Purple-haired Wild Boar, however, was as fast as lightning and also terrifyingly strong. As the two Fierce Beasts fought in the void, the winds howled and the clouds churned. Their colossal roars were enough to shake the Fierce Beasts for dozens of miles around to death.

Zhaang Ye stood by the pond, watching the Purple-haired Wild Boar that had become a streak of purple light, and nodded slightly. ’Although this Two-winged Flying Crocodile is also an ancient variant, it’s a bit slower than the boar. Because of that, the Purple-haired Wild Boar is slowly gaining the upper hand. If the fight continues like this, the crocodile will soon be defeated.’

Sure enough, after fighting for a while longer, the Purple-haired Wild Boar used its superior speed to viciously claw the Two-winged Flying Crocodile’s back. The boar’s claws were sharper than any sword. With a ”CRACK! CRACK!” sound, more than ten massive scales were ripped from the crocodile’s back, and its blood stained the sky red.

Zhaang Ye reached out and caught a few drops of blood. He could feel that within the blood, there was a faint trace of Innate True Qi and a faint wisp of a Giant Dragon Aura. Sensing the Innate True Qi and Giant Dragon Aura, Zhaang Ye’s heart leaped with joy. He made a grasping motion with his large hand, and the blood in the sky immediately surged toward him.

”WHOOSH!”

The True Qi in Zhaang Ye’s body slowly circulated, absorbing the Innate True Qi and Giant Dragon Aura from the blood. Although the Innate True Qi and Giant Dragon Aura in the Two-winged Flying Crocodile’s blood were very faint, they were still quite beneficial. ’If there’s enough blood, after I absorb the Innate True Qi and Giant Dragon Aura, it wouldn’t be difficult to raise my Cultivation by another Small Tier.’

”SKREEE!”

Wounded by the claw strike, the Two-winged Flying Crocodile went berserk. With a great roar, it launched a frenzied assault with its tail, teeth, claws, and wings. The piercing sound of it tearing through the air was like thunder, and bolts of lightning as thick as a man’s arm appeared in the void, startling even Zhaang Ye.

AWOO! AWOO!

At this moment, the Purple-haired Wild Boar finally revealed its true power. Its body suddenly swelled, and its fur took on a metallic sheen. Standing tall in the air, it actually began to execute a Combat Skill!

”BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!”

The Combat Skill the Purple-haired Wild Boar executed carried an Ancient Realm. Its moves were vast, majestic, and domineering. Every time it struck out with its claws, it mobilized the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi of the region. Under the boar’s command, the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi transformed into various strange phenomena while also secretly sealing off a section of the void. Under this domineering and majestic Combat Skill, the Two-winged Flying Crocodile was instantly put on the defensive, beaten back again and again by the Purple-haired Wild Boar!

’This Purple-haired Wild Boar actually knows how to use a Combat Skill! Who could have taught it? Could it be someone from the Da Ling Kingdom True Hall?’ Zhaang Ye was shocked as he watched the boar’s performance. He had always believed that things like Combat Skills could only be learned and executed by humans. He thought Fierce Beasts fought using only instinct and their sharp claws, never expecting this Purple-haired Wild Boar to be able to execute such a profound and domineering Combat Skill.

Still shocked, Zhaang Ye stared intently at the Purple-haired Wild Boar, trying to comprehend this Combat Skill.

The Combat Skill used by the Purple-haired Wild Boar was far more powerful than even a Top-Grade Combat Skill. Some of the techniques it used to control the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi could only be performed by a Daoist Master. As Zhaang Ye silently watched the boar’s Combat Skill, he gained a great deal of insight. Without even realizing it, his combat prowess had increased slightly.

”SKREEE!”

Under the Purple-haired Wild Boar’s fierce assault, the Two-winged Flying Crocodile could no longer hold on. It swung its massive tail, gave a thunderous flap of its pitch-black wings, and fled toward a body of water.

Seeing the Two-winged Flying Crocodile flee toward the water, the Purple-haired Wild Boar hesitated slightly. The Two-winged Flying Crocodile was an aquatic Fierce Beast; only in water could it unleash its full combat potential. Although the Purple-haired Wild Boar was an ancient variant, it had been cultivating for a much shorter time than the crocodile. So, even though it had defeated the Two-winged Flying Crocodile, it didn’t dare to pursue recklessly.

The Purple-haired Wild Boar had its reservations, but Zhaang Ye didn’t overthink it. This Two-winged Flying Crocodile was clearly a descendant of the giant dragon lineage, and its blood was of immense use to him. With such an opportunity right in front of him, Zhaang Ye would absolutely not let it go.

Zhaang Ye’s figure flashed, and he suddenly appeared in the sky, shouting at the Purple-haired Wild Boar, ”Go! Kill it!”

Although the Purple-haired Wild Boar was reluctant, it knew that Zhaang Ye held its life in his hands. Disobeying his command was a death sentence. Left with no choice, the boar transformed back into a streak of purple light and pursued the Two-winged Flying Crocodile from a distance.

Both the Two-winged Flying Crocodile and the Purple-haired Wild Boar flew at astonishing speeds. In the span of just a few dozen breaths, the two Fierce Beasts had traveled over a thousand miles, arriving above a massive lake.

This massive lake was clearly the Two-winged Flying Crocodile’s lair. The moment it arrived above the lake, its spirits were lifted, and it took the initiative to attack the Purple-haired Wild Boar.

”BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!” Hundreds of enormous water pillars shot up from the lake, locking onto the Purple-haired Wild Boar’s position. Then, the Two-winged Flying Crocodile flapped its wings, and an endless amount of Water Qi instantly filled the void. This ethereal, gentle Water Qi was as hard as steel, binding the Purple-haired Wild Boar from all sides. Despite the boar’s immense power, its movements couldn’t help but slow down.

The Two-winged Flying Crocodile used the Water Qi to restrain the Purple-haired Wild Boar’s movements. With a swing of its massive body, it immediately launched a storm-like assault. Yet at this moment, the Purple-haired Wild Boar once again displayed its formidable strength. Although it was restricted by the Water Qi, which greatly affected its power, it didn’t fall behind in its fight against the Two-winged Flying Crocodile in the slightest.

Zhaang Ye was a bit slower than the two Fierce Beasts. By the time he arrived above the lake, the two powerful creatures were already locked in combat. Seeing that the Purple-haired Wild Boar couldn’t kill the Two-winged Flying Crocodile right away, Zhaang Ye slowly approached the crocodile, planning to wait for the right moment to strike it dead with his whip.

As he slowly drew closer, Zhaang Ye suddenly discovered a small island several miles in circumference in the middle of the massive lake. The island was shrouded in mist, but in some of the less misty areas, a patch of lush, green trees was visible. Amidst this lush forest, he could faintly make out a jade-colored bamboo stalk that was a hundred feet tall, upon which grew several clusters of bamboo fruit.

Seeing this bamboo, a look of delighted surprise appeared on Zhaang Ye’s face. ”Haha! To think a Hundred Foot Jade Bamboo is actually growing on this island! And this Jade Bamboo has already borne fruit. Just harvesting the fruits of the Jade Bamboo will be a huge windfall!”

In his excitement, Zhaang Ye lost all interest in attacking the Two-winged Flying Crocodile. He executed his Body Technique and shot toward the island like a bolt of lightning.

”SKREEE!”

When the Two-winged Flying Crocodile saw Zhaang Ye flying toward the island, it grew anxious and let out several earth-shattering roars from its massive maw. Following the roars, the Water Qi in the air surged toward Zhaang Ye like a tidal wave. Zhaang Ye felt a Powerful Qi blasting toward him, as if two experts at the Peak of Martial Arts Ninth Layer were attacking him with their full strength.

Zhaang Ye chuckled softly, and the Mysterious Blade Tip suddenly appeared in his hand. With a flick of his wrist, the Mysterious Blade Tip unleashed a sky-shattering Sword Qi that appeared in the void like a dazzling Celestial River. The Sword Qi from the Mysterious Blade Tip was incredibly domineering. With just one strike, it annihilated the Water Qi attack from the Two-winged Flying Crocodile.

After dispersing the Water Qi, Zhaang Ye’s body transformed into a streak of green light and shot straight toward the Hundred Foot Jade Bamboo.

The Hundred Foot Jade Bamboo grows in places with dense Heaven and Earth Essence Qi. The fruit it bears is also known as the fruit of the Jade Bamboo. The fruit of the Jade Bamboo is one of the main ingredients for refining the Innate Golden Pill. Very few could be found throughout the entire Land of Divine Abandonment, which was why the Hall Masters of the Wei Kingdom True Hall hoped Zhaang Ye would be able to harvest some in this Little World.

Zhaang Ye was flying extremely fast. In just two blinks, he arrived above the Hundred Foot Jade Bamboo. Just then, Zhaang Ye’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. He abruptly discovered that a hundred zhang ahead of him, a snow-white long arrow and a ghastly white Long Sword were tearing through the void, shooting toward him with an indescribable might!
