A roar of a Demonic Beast filled with fear and despair sounded out from the depths of the Ye Family Assessment grounds.
The moment the roar came out, some of the lower leveled Demonic Beast around let out a terrified wail and scattered in all directions.
In the world of Demonic Beast, it was clear which level was higher, but these low level Demonic Beast could clearly tell that the owner of the roar was a powerful existence with Ninth Layer of Body Tempering, the Bloodthirsty Tiger.
From its roar, they could tell that the Bloodthirsty Tiger was on the verge of death.
to be able to kill a Bloodthirsty Tiger from the Ninth Layer of Body Tempering, there... there must be an even more powerful and terrifying Demonic Beast.
Thinking of this, the group of low level Demonic Beast began to run even more frantically, fleeing far away.
However, within the depths of the forest, in front of the corpse of the Bloodthirsty Tiger, what was standing there was not some terrifying Demonic Beast. It was Black-Cloaked Youth who held a pike in his hand and was gasping like an ox.
It was Ye Hao.
The current him was extremely pale. His entire body was covered in blood, and there was even a deep claw mark on his chest. One could vaguely see the eerie white bones.
Around him, a giant tree had broken apart and was uprooted. The ground was full of potholes, and it was a complete mess. It was as if two ancient barbarian dragons had been violently fighting in this place.
"Ninth Layer of Body Tempering's Demonic Beast, sure enough, is abnormal." Ye Hao wiped off the blood on his face. The pain from his injuries made his body shiver.
At present, it had been two months since he killed Ye Hui and Chu Feng.
In these two months, Ye Hao had always been within the Black Mountain Range, battling all kinds of Demonic Beast and training himself. During this time, he had fought against all kinds of Demonic Beast at least dozens of times, causing him to fall into a desperate situation and die.
Of course, this kind of crazy slaughter and tempering, suppressing one's potential, undoubtedly had enormous benefits.
Although Ye Hao had yet to break through to Tempered Body 8th Layer, his entire body gave off a strong and sturdy feeling compared to two months ago. In addition, his body was faintly surrounded by a bloody aura.
Clearly, the constant fighting these past two months had caused the youth to undergo a transformation as though he had been reborn.
Most importantly, after countless of desperate situations, Ye Hao had already refined a lot of the enormous power left behind by the Blood Essence in his body.
As he refined the Blood Essence's power, although the increase in realm was not obvious, his physical body was constantly strengthening at an unimaginable speed.
It was because of this that Ye Hao was able to rely on his Tempered Body 7th Layer cultivation to kill this Bloodthirsty Tiger with Ninth Layer of Body Tempering.
It had to be known that Demonic Beast s with Ninth Layer of Body Tempering, even if an ordinary cultivator of the same realm were to meet them, they would definitely not dare to face them alone.
Ye Hao was able to kill him alone. Although his injuries were not light, it was enough to see how fast his progress was.
After resting for a while, Ye Hao took out Ye Ren's Spiritual Weapon short sword and removed all the valuable materials from the Bloodthirsty Tiger's body.
After that, he looked at the sky which was about to darken, and like an agile leopard, he swiftly and quietly flew away.
In these two months of killing, not only did Ye Hao's strength increase greatly, he also accumulated a lot of combat experience and judgment towards the danger.
After shuttling through the forest for a while, Ye Hao entered a hidden cave. He blocked the entrance with a giant rock and lit a bonfire. Then, he sat down in exhaustion.
The Black Mountain Range at night was truly the Demonic Beast's playground, it was at least ten times more dangerous than during the day. With his current realm, whenever night descended, he could only temporarily hide in this relatively safe cave.
"..."
The night was cold, and the moon hung high in the sky. The Demonic Beast roars rose and fell at the same time, exuding a thick, brutal aura that reverberated throughout the entire Black Mountain Range.
Ye Hao was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed beside a fire in the cave. His Qi and blood were rising. After a long time, he finally breathed out. He opened his eyes and frowned slightly.
After refining the Spiritual Sense, he had always wanted to figure out the origin of that strange golden light within his sea of consciousness.
However, no matter how he tried, Ye Hao found out that the Spiritual Sense was still unable to get close to the golden light that gave off a holy aura, which made Ye Hao even more curious.
"Could it be that my Spiritual Sense is not strong enough?" Ye Hao muttered to himself and then shook his head. It was useless to think about it anyway, he could only put it aside for later.
Immediately after, Ye Hao opened his shirt and looked down at his chest. The claw marks that were deep enough to see bone and almost tore his internal organs had already turned into a scab and were rapidly recovering.
Sensing this, he couldn't help but grin. Following the refinement of some of the Blood Essence's remaining power, the strength and recovery speed of his current body far surpassed before.
"I still need to break through to Tempered Body 8th Layer as soon as possible."
Calming his emotions, Ye Hao muttered to himself with a frown. Although his strength had improved greatly, it was still a bit lacking when compared to cultivators with Body Tempering Great Perfection.
Ye Hao reckoned that only by breaking through the eighth level of Body Tempering Stage and refining a little bit of the Blood Essence's power would he be able to contend against a Body Tempering Stage cultivator.
"There are still two more months, let's work harder."
The moment Ye Hao thought of Tianxuan Academy's recruitment date getting closer, he couldn't help but to take a deep breath. He slowly extended both his hands and a bright light exploded in his eyes.
Spiritual Energy quickly flowed between her slender fingers and finally formed into a delicate and small Spiritual Energy light seal. The seal was filled with Profound Rune and it emitted an extremely special fluctuation.
The moment the Spiritual Seal appeared, the surrounding Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth began to quietly ripple and formlessly churn.
The Spiritual Seal s were the foundation for setting up the Spiritual Array. Only the Spiritual Array Masters were able to condense unique Spiritual Seal Runes with their meticulous control over the spirit energy, and according to the Spiritual Array Map, with special methods.
Of course, the number of Spiritual Seal required for each Spiritual Array was different. Generally, the most basic level of Spiritual Array would require at least dozens of Spiritual Seal and those powerful Spiritual Array s would require tens of thousands of Spiritual Seal.
To successfully set up a Spiritual Array, other than the Spiritual Seal and the Spiritual Array Diagram, both were indispensable. It required the Spiritual Array Master to have absolute control over the Spiritual Seal.
Because any slight fluctuations in position would cause the Spiritual Array to collapse, and might even cause a backlash to the Spiritual Array Master, which was extremely terrifying.
He recalled one of the Spiritual Array Diagram that Shen Jiuyou had taught him, and the spirit energy on Ye Hao's fingers became stronger and stronger. With a flick of his fingers, Spiritual Seal runes shot into the void in an orderly manner, like water droplets merging into the ocean, disappearing without a trace.
Ye Hao's expression was solemn, and he didn't dare to relax his mind in the slightest.
Even though Shen Jiuyou's Spiritual Array was only at the Beginner Level, he had to place the 101 Spiritual Seal at a specific location in the void, which would cause the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth to resonate and not allow any mistakes.
In the silence, the last Spiritual Seal formed skillfully between Ye Hao's fingers.
With a flick of his finger, as the Spiritual Seal disappeared into the void, ripples appeared in the space inside the cave.
A strange breeze swept past as waves of Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth seemed to be attracted by something as they suddenly gathered together, forming a small spirit energy tornado.
Seeing the Spiritual Array take shape, Ye Hao's face was filled with joy. He had yet to completely arrange the two array diagrams Shen Jiuyou passed down to him.
However, this Spiritual Array that was slightly simpler, after cultivating for more than a month, he had now reached an extremely high success rate.
The Spiritual Array of the was not an offensive and defensive formation. Its greatest effect was to forcefully gather the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth around the Spiritual Array.
If cultivators were to cultivate within the Spiritual Array, the dense Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth would allow their cultivation speed to increase by at least several times.
Of course, although the Spiritual Array could speed up one's cultivation, it was undoubtedly an extremely complicated and tiresome task. If one wanted to set it up, there were extremely high requirements for the Spiritual Sense s of the Spiritual Array Masters.
Ye Hao, who was sitting cross-legged inside the Spiritual Array, could not help but sigh in his heart. Just based on the difficulty of setting up the Spiritual Array and its profound strength, it was no wonder that there were so few Spiritual Array Masters in this world, and its status was so high.
"Kid, right now you are only at the threshold of the Spiritual Array Masters. The only way you can truly step into the Seal Condensation Stage is to arrange that Flaming Flames of the Burning Spiritual Array inside your body. It's a little too early to be happy now." Inside the Gray Bead space, Shen Jiuyou's illusionary figure was a little more solid than before. Looking at the boy's happy expression, he could not help but laugh and give a blow to him.
Although he said that, he couldn't help but be shocked at Ye Hao's rapid growth.
With his attainments in the Spiritual Array, even though he was only at the elementary level of the Spiritual Array that he passed on to Ye Hao, he was also at the pinnacle level within the elementary level. The fact that the former could master him in such a short period of time had truly exceeded his expectations.
"Seal Condensation Stage …" Ye Hao's black eyes couldn't help but burn.
It had to be known, Spiritual Array masters with Seal Condensation Stage were not weaker than Life Sea Stage experts at all. If he could lay down a Spiritual Array of this level, then his chance of obtaining a placing from Ye Tianlin would greatly increase.
However, when he thought about the Flaming Burning Spiritual Array that the former had mentioned, Ye Hao laughed bitterly and shook his head. That attacking Spiritual Array's Spiritual Seal rune was much more profound than the gathering of Spiritual Array.
He had tried several times, but all of them had failed midway, causing the Spiritual Array to crumble. It was clear that with his current realm, it was still not possible to lay down a Spiritual Array of that level.
Shaking his head, Ye Hao cast aside the distracting thoughts in his mind. He understood that the path of cultivation can only be walked one step at a time. There was no meaning in being too ambitious.
"It's been two months. Time to go back." Muttering to himself, he slowly closed his eyes and completely went silent.
"..."
As the sky brightened, a young man shot out of the forest like a black arrow and headed straight for the Heiyuan City.
Even though Ye Hao, Qing Wu, and Ye Yunfeng had greeted each other before coming here, two months had passed and the two of them must be extremely worried.
Furthermore, in these two months of bloody battles, he had already accumulated a lot of Demonic Beast materials, and even the space inside the Storage Bag was almost full.
"Looks like I need to go to Myriad-Treasure Pavilion first." Ye Hao muttered to himself as he looked at the silhouette of the city in front of him.
Myriad-Treasure Pavilion were not only one of the top powers in Heiyuan City, they were also the biggest merchant guild in the city. Inside, they received and sold all kinds of cultivation resources, be it spirit medicine or Spiritual Weapon s, or cultivation techniques and abilities.
If one were to talk about the depth of one's background, it was likely that no power within the Heiyuan City would be able to compare to it.
Fortunately, although the Myriad-Treasure Pavilion is strong, it has always been in a neutral position, and does not participate in any battles between forces.
Otherwise, even the Black Abyss City Lord's Mansion would not be able to stop this frightening enormous being.
Standing on the streets of the city, Ye Hao looked at the end of the huge classical and luxurious building, and could not help but lick his lips. Among his Storage Bag, there were quite a few body tempering level 8 and 9 Demonic Beast materials.
"Hmm? Why is it him? "
Just as Ye Hao was about to take a step forward, he suddenly saw a handsome youth with extraordinary imposing manner. He alighted an imposing carriage and entered Myriad-Treasure Pavilion.
It was Ye Tianlin.
