Chapter 55 - 53: Attack of the Innate Demonic Beast
West Peak Mountain, one of the subsidiary mountain ranges within the Demon Beast Mountain Range, was neither on the edge of the range nor too deep into it but occupied a central position.
Craggy peaks rose one after the other, forests were dense, vines reached to the heavens, covering the valleys below. The greenery was lush and vibrant.
From atop a towering tree a hundred meters high, Ye Chen stood firm as a feather, gazing distantly at the vast expanse of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, lost in a trance.
Elder Yan floated in mid-air and said, "Didn’t you say you were going to leave the Demon Beast Mountain Range and head to Xiafeng Academy? Why haven’t you left yet?"
Ye Chen’s eyes were somewhat unfocused as he replied, "I’ve changed my mind. I want to stay in the Demon Beast Mountain Range for a while longer."
"Why?" Elder Yan didn’t understand.
"Because I need to kill more Innate Demonic Beasts," Ye Chen said. "A terrible rampage amongst the beast is imminent, and then, Innate Demonic Beasts will become a significant source of disaster. Although Luofeng City lies on the edge of the Demon Beast Mountain Range and is destined to suffer less impact, I’m still worried about the possibility of Innate Demonic Beasts attacking the city, so I want to take action in advance to resolve some of it. That way, I can be at ease."
"Moreover, cultivating the Human Origin Body Technique requires a tremendous amount of nature’s spiritual energy. Innate Demon Pills are rich in Innate Energy, which greatly aids in the condensation of the Human Origin Golden Body, and can at least significantly shorten the process."
"There is no rush to head to Xiafeng Academy at the moment. There are still three months left until the admission trials at Tiandu Academy, so there’s plenty of time."
Elder Yan didn’t try to stop him but simply said, "Just be careful, as even though your mastery of the Human Origin Body Technique is enough to match the Innate Realm, Innate Demonic Beasts are by no means benevolent. The low-ranked ones are manageable, but encountering a high-ranking Innate Beast can still be dangerous."
"Of course, I am perfectly aware of that," Ye Chen said calmly, with a frost-white Demon Bone Spear appearing in his hand. It was forged from the Innate Demon Bone of a silver giant wolf, crudely made but sharp enough to wound Innate Demonic Beasts.
