C402 Black Armor Mountain
In the Dead End Forest, Qi Zhuohao had killed a Second Grade Devil Beast Stage Scarlet Wolf with a single palm strike. He was very happy and satisfied. With his current cultivation base and strength... Furthermore... With the help of his heartforce, killing an Early Second Grade Demonic Beast and an Early Second Grade Vital Spirit was as easy as flipping his palm.
When he was at the Essence Incarnating Perfection, Qi Zhuohao was able to use the Hot Flame Palm to kill Leng Mangyan and the other Early Second Grade Vital Spirit warriors. However, the gap between a martial artist and a Demonic Beast's Defensive Strength was just too great. And that was when Leng Mangyan and the others did not have the powerful protection of the Defensive Artifact.
Now that Qi Zhuohao could easily kill an early Second Grade Demonic Beast, the true power of his Hot Flame Palm had finally been revealed. Of course, he still couldn't fully exert the power of the Hot Flame Palm. This was because the Hot Flame Palm was a High-Ranked Earth Rank martial skill!
Qi Zhuohao even had a feeling that unless it was a Third Level Demonic Beast or an Extraordinary Expert, no one could block his Hot Flame Palm without the protection of a powerful Defensive Martial Arts or Defensive Artifact!
Once Qi Zhuohao advanced to the Extraordinary Stage, the Extraordinary Expert and the Third Level Demonic Beast would not be able to stop his Hot Flame Palm. He was very confident in this, unless the opponent had an artifact on top of the Half Divine Artifact to protect himself.
With the advancement of his realm, the power of Qi Zhuohao's martial skill also increased. Adding on the fact that he was using the Vital Spirit Strength now, it was not the same Yuan energy as before. Furthermore, the power of his heartforce had also increased by a lot. He struck out with his palm. A second grade Demonic Beast could only be instantly killed.
The excitement in his heart caused Qi Zhuohao to go berserk. He frantically condensed the Vital Spirit Strength, then he unleashed the Hot Flame Palm and slammed it towards the Scarlet Wolf. In just two breaths' time, all twenty Scarlet Wolf had fallen to the ground and died!
Using the Hot Flame Palm to form the Fire Palm didn't consume much of the Vital Spirit Strength's energy. The Hot Flame Palm was the best weapon that Qi Zhuohao could use to fight his enemies. Of course, this was before he could cultivate the Heart-shattering Blade Arts. The Heart-shattering Blade Arts was reflected in his technique, and the consumption of the Vital Spirit Strength was much smaller than the Hot Flame Palm. Once he achieved the Minor Success Stage, the Heart-shattering Blade Arts would become Qi Zhuohao's signature skill in the Vital Spirit and Extraordinary Stage.
The Second Grade Demonic Beast and Scarlet Wolf were all dead. The First Grade Devil Beast Stage Scarlet Wolf were panic-stricken. When they realized what had happened, they turned around and fled. The twenty or so experts of their race had all died. What was the background of this group of martial artists? Their strength was actually stronger than each other!
"Haha! With Brother Qi's current strength, I can't even catch up to him. I admire, admire!"
When all the First Grade Devil Beast Stage Scarlet Wolf had escaped, Looh Heeyi was the first to regain his senses. He sighed with emotion in his heart. Qi Zhuohao's strength had already surpassed him by far. If it was him, he would have killed a Second Grade Demonic Beast. It would definitely be very difficult.
"This bit of strength of mine is nothing. Brother Heeyi, you flatter me!" Qi Zhuohao replied with a smile. Through his previous attack, he had already gotten confirmation that he was not afraid of anyone below the Extraordinary Stage.
"Hehe, Brother Qi, don't be modest. Above the Vital Spirit. It was very difficult to kill a warrior of the same level in an instant, and it was even more difficult to kill a Demonic Beast of the same level in an instant. Brother Qi, you can do it so easily. I estimate that... Your strength is comparable to an ordinary eighth or ninth level Vital Spirit martial artist. "
Looh Heeyi sighed. What he said was the truth. Among Truly Essence Stage warriors, besides those late stage Vital Spirit warriors, who could easily kill an early Second Grade Demonic Beast? At least, before Qi Zhuohao, he had never heard of such a genius!
"Brother Lu's words are very reasonable. Brother-in-law, I have to admire you as well. You are really much stronger than me!"
Nangong Qianxing's praise came from the bottom of his heart. Ever since he was defeated by Qi Zhuohao last time, he had been brooding over it. He had always wanted to defeat Qi Zhuohao, but now that he saw Qi Zhuohao's terrifying strength... He had already given up on that plan.
Qi Zhuohao and Nangong Qianxing were in the same realm, but Qi Zhuohao's strength... If he continued to cultivate, Qi Zhuohao's strength would only get further and further away from him. Regarding this brother-in-law, Nangong Qianxing was completely convinced.
Not only Looh Heeyi and Nangong Qianxing, Nangong Yumo and Chu Yun also admired Qi Zhuohao's strength very much. Out of the ten True Essence Expert, the three of them were the weakest. There was no doubt that Looh Heeyi and Nangong Qianxing were stronger than them. Nangong Yudia and Shen Ji were not ordinary True Essence Expert, and Du Qingluo's realm was the highest!
"Qi Zhuohao is so outstanding. Maybe I am not worthy of him at all!" Nangong Yumo shook her head and sighed. All along, Qi Zhuohao had never looked at her in the eye. Now she was thinking, should she take the initiative to attack? She did not want to miss such an outstanding man.
Looh Heeyi could not help but laugh bitterly when he saw Nangong Yumo's worried face. He had deeply experienced the feelings of having fallen flowers on purpose and being merciless in water. At this moment, Nangong Yumo also had the same feeling as him.
"Alright, let's continue our journey. There are still many dangers ahead waiting for us!"
Qi Zhuohao naturally saw the expressions of Looh Heeyi and Nangong Yumo. He would not give Nangong Yumo a chance. Because he did not like Nangong Yumo at all. He could not help Looh Heeyi either. To pursue Nangong Yumo, Looh Heeyi had to think of a way by himself.
Qi Zhuohao's words were also a reminder to everyone. Dead End Forest was really very dangerous. If one wasn't careful, one wouldn't have the chance to reach Black Armor Mountain. Of course, Qi Zhuohao himself wasn't worried. A Second Grade Demonic Beast was no threat to him!
In the Dead End Forest, the number of Demonic Beast and the types were all shockingly high. Qi Zhuohao and his group were walking in the Dead End Forest, and they had no choice but to do so. In one day's time, they would kill the Demonic Beast that blocked their path. In addition to the twenty Scarlet Wolf, Qi Zhuohao and his group also encountered seven or eight Second Grade Demonic Beast. Unfortunately, those Demonic Beast were not suitable to be subdued and used as mounts.
Qi Zhuohao also understood that it was very normal for there to be a large number of Demonic Beast here. The Qi of Heaven and Earth in the Seven Star Mountain Range was very abundant, and the Qi of Heaven and Earth in the Dead End Forest was extremely rich. It was very suitable for the Demonic Beast to reside in, and the Great Desolate Ghost Cave only opened once every one thousand and two hundred years. Normally, no warriors would come to the Dead End Forest to train. It would be strange if there weren't many Demonic Beast here.
Everyone knew that the beasts living in the Hongwu Continent liked to live in places with abundant natural energy. Because their cultivation required natural spiritual energy, beasts didn't know how to concoct pills. Without the Essence Recovering Pill, they could only absorb natural energies to cultivate.
The Demonic Beast's cultivation speed could not be compared to a martial artist's. Don't look at how fast Feng Ying's cultivation speed was. That was because Qi Zhuohao had provided it with sufficient cultivation resources. The Demonic Beast's physical defense was strong. A large body was an advantage, but a beast's cultivation could only be increased by the world's spirit energy. Therefore, their cultivation speed was very slow. This was their disadvantage!
Generally speaking, after a beast cultivated to the Second Grade Demonic Beast, it would take several hundred to a thousand years to raise their cultivation realm to the Third Level Demonic Beast...
From the moment they killed 20 Scarlet Wolf, it was Nangong Qianxing and Du Qingluo who killed the second grade of Demonic Beast that Qi Zhuohao and the others encountered. Qi Zhuohao had to give them a chance to train. That way, it could increase the combat strength of everyone.
Nangong Qianxing and Looh Heeyi worked together to kill a Second Grade Demonic Beast. Qi Zhuohao and the rest continued their journey. They were getting closer and closer to the Black Armor Mountain, and the level of the Demonic Beast they encountered was also getting higher and higher, becoming more and more difficult to deal with!
Fortunately, with Qi Zhuohao in charge, Nangong Qianxing and the others could relax and fight with the level 2 Demonic Beast to train their strength. On the afternoon of the third day, they arrived at the foot of a huge black mountain. This huge mountain was thousands of meters tall, and there was no vegetation on it. Looking from afar, the mountain was like a scale armor. It looked lifelike. This mountain was the destination of Qi Zhuohao and his group. Black Armor Mountain!1
The Black Armored Mountain looked exactly the same as the scale armor. Its name was also because of this. If the Black Armored Mountain was not a mountain that reached into the clouds, the warriors who came here would probably think that it was a real armor.
"This is too spectacular and beautiful. This Black Armor Mountain is just as the rumors say. This is a true piece of art!"
Looh Heeyi couldn't help but exclaim. They could clearly see the scales on the armor. Nature was the most unique and powerful artist in the world. Looh Heeyi could only look up to and worship such a masterful masterpiece!
"It's quite beautiful!" Nangong Qianxing nodded in response. He did not like art, nor did he know art. Of course, he was not as shocked as Looh Heeyi. Of course, Qi Zhuohao and the others did not know art either. Their moods were similar to Nangong Qianxing's. They just felt that this Black Armor Mountain was very strange and beautiful!
Looh Heeyi shook his head and did not say anything. Talking about art with Nangong Qianxing and Qi Zhuohao was like talking about love with a cow. He had to appreciate the masterpiece of nature. To him, it was meaningful and valuable.
"Alright, it's late. We should leave now!"
Qi Zhuohao reminded them to set foot on the Black Armor Mountain first. The Black Armor Mountain was bare and there should not be any beasts resting on it. They had to climb to the top of the mountain as soon as possible because the Great Desolate Ghost Cave would be opened half a day later. It was dusk!
Below the Black Armored Mountain, there were a lot of huge rocks scattered all over the place, as if they had rolled down from the Black Armored Mountain. Just as Qi Zhuohao stepped onto the Black Armored Mountain, the ground suddenly shook. Immediately after that, a huge rock beside him cracked open.
Qi Zhuohao and the others were shocked by this sudden change. As the huge rock cracked open, a beautiful person appeared in their line of sight. It was a pure white horse. The white horse also had a horn on its head like a Horned Horse, and it actually had a pair of huge wings. Also, this white horse was much bigger than the Horned Horse. It was more than three meters tall!
"This is the Unicorn!" Nangong Qianxing's eyes widened, and his heart was filled with extreme shock. And... He was excited, but he remembered that his only contract scroll had been used to subdue the green striped tiger. His heart immediately became filled with regret and disappointment.
Looh Heeyi and Nangong Qianxing were in the same mood. If he knew that he would encounter a Unicorn, he wouldn't have wasted that precious contract scroll. But now, with such a good mount, the Demonic Beast, he could only watch helplessly!
The Unicorn was a wind-attribute Demonic Beast. It could fly, and its speed was even faster than Qi Zhuohao's Mutated Wind Shadow Tiger. The combat strength of the Unicorn was incomparably terrifying. Its horn was its most powerful weapon. It could be said to be indestructible and indestructible!
Qi Zhuohao was very excited. The Unicorn looked like a horse, but it was actually a unique species. This Unicorn was an early Second Grade Demonic Beast. Since he had encountered it... No matter what, he had to subdue it. Of course... Qi Zhuohao already had the Wind Shadow, so he didn't need the Unicorn. He had to give this Unicorn to Shen Ji or Nangong Yudia.
Thinking of this, Qi Zhuohao hurriedly shouted, "Everyone, spread out quickly. You are not its match!"
Rumors said that the Unicorn was a kind beast. It would not attack martial artists. However, Qi Zhuohao could feel the bloodthirsty taste in the Unicorn's eyes. He immediately knew that the rumors had always been rumors. This Unicorn was definitely a very ferocious Demonic Beast.
Nangong Qianxing and the others quickly retreated when they heard this. Soon, they were far away from the Unicorn. A Second Grade Devil Beast Stage Unicorn was not something they could deal with. Qi Zhuohao was not trying to scare them...
