Chapter 48: Chapter 46: Kill the Demon Wolf, Refine the Blood Pill!

Swoosh—

A barely audible sound suddenly broke the silence as a dark long spear was instantaneously thrown, its black sheen blending perfectly with the night, indistinguishable from one another. It shot out like lightning, aiming straight for the silver giant wolf’s head, the most critical part, in the most ruthless assassination attempt.

Demon beasts are naturally spirit-communicative due to their animal instincts, especially Innate Demonic Beasts which are extremely sharp. Despite the silent and swift strike of the spear, the beast sensed it and instinctively leaped to dodge.

Thud—

Unfortunately, the spear was too fast; the Demon Wolf had no time to completely evade it. It traversed a hundred meters in an instant. Though it missed the critical head, it struck the wolf’s waist, piercing through and nailing it fiercely to the ground, with a faint golden radiance lingering.

Howl—

The Demon Wolf let out an enraged howl, surprised by the sudden attack. It sharply turned towards Ye Chen, opening its mouth to unleash a burst of silver light in a fierce counterattack.

This was the breath of an Innate Demonic Beast, capable of grievously wounding even Innate Strong People if it landed.

But at that very moment, before his initial strike could bear fruit, Ye Chen launched another, astonishingly lifting a house-sized boulder next to him and hurling it at the wolf with all his might, causing a thunderous impact against the wolf.

The Demon Wolf howled. Despite being injured, it was still formidable. With a swing of its thick tail, it sent the massive rock flying away, demonstrating a terrifying strength that sent chills down one’s spine.

However, the wound on its waist only tore further as a result.

Swoosh—

A shadowy figure appeared like a ghost before it, as Ye Chen closed in with a claw-shaped strike with both hands, unleashing the Acquired Top Martial Skill, Tiger Roar.

Roar—

The phantom image of a fierce tiger descended, roaring as it struck the Demon Wolf, hitting right where it was wounded. Thousands of pounds of force burst forth, sending the beast flying ten yards away, blood splattering as injuries compounded.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Chen executed a triple assault. One strike followed another without giving any chance for the silver giant wolf to react. Each move landed on the wolf, inflicting severe wounds.

Even someone as discerning as Elder Yan couldn’t fault this assassination attempt, giving it a thumbs up and deeming it perfect.

Because this assault was not just a simple attack but a flawlessly executed surprise attack, seizing the perfect moment when the Demon Wolf’s guard was down. A triple strike combination, seamless and uninterrupted, left the beast no chance to respond, successfully injuring the silver giant wolf from the peak condition to a grievous state, an impeccable tactical assault.

Such an attack was not something ordinary people could perform, nor something that could be executed purely on great strength. Even those with plenty of combat experience might not manage it. Only someone with genuine battle consciousness could achieve this.

Any less perfection, and the silver giant wolf might have avoided the blow, rendering the triple assault ineffective, causing at most minor injuries rather than the current devastating wounds, the intestines ruptured and blood flowing freely like water.

Elder Yan looked at Ye Chen in astonishment; indeed worthy of being a descendant of the strongest fighting lineage among Combat Saints, only someone of that lineage could achieve such flawlessness.

Beneath the night sky, draped in a black robe that merged with the pitch-black night, Ye Chen stood atop a large boulder, watching the thrown Demon Wolf with murderous intent surfacing.

Clearly, as an Innate Demonic Beast, the silver giant wolf wouldn’t be killed off so easily. Demon beasts’ tough physical bodies were their assurance of survival. Ye Chen’s series of attacks had hurt it badly, but not to the extent of a complete kill.

The Demon Wolf howled in rage and leaped up, ready to face battle despite the wound in its waist; its life force was incredibly resilient.

This was the true terror of an Innate Demonic Beast, far surpassing Innate Strong People.

To this, Ye Chen remained calm and fearless, simply uttering one word softly, "Explode!"

With a thunderous boom, the silver giant wolf leaping midair trembled violently. Its waist burst open, intestines and stomach shredding, flesh and blood turning into a blur, as it plummeted from the sky, whimpering continuously, blood gushing from mouth and nose without ceasing.

That was the Human Origin Power Ye Chen had imbued into the long spear, which now erupted, inflicting tremendous damage on the silver giant wolf.

Thus, before the silver giant wolf could truly demonstrate the terrifying might of an Innate Demonic Beast, Ye Chen grievously injured it, reducing its battle capabilities by sixty to seventy percent.

Whoosh——

The long spear was telekinetically grabbed back by Ye Chen and hurled once again, channeling all his strength with flashes of Human Origin Power illuminating the golden radiance. It completely pierced through the Demon Wolf’s head, killing it instantly, dead beyond resurrection.

At this point, Ye Chen finally let out a sigh of relief, having at last slain an Innate Demonic Beast.

This was due in large part to his rich combat experience and perfect timing. Otherwise, with his strength, facing an Innate Demonic Beast head-on would have been extremely difficult.

After all, an Innate Demonic Beast was far stronger than an Innate Strong Person of the same level in every aspect.

Elder Yan exclaimed in amazement, "Little Chenzi, your power is incredible. I thought it would be a tough battle, and you might even end up fleeing for your life. But you actually managed to kill an Innate Demonic Beast without a scratch and completely overpower it."

Ye Chen shook his head. He didn’t blame Elder Yan; after all, the latter had never witnessed his true power. Otherwise, he wouldn’t think so.

Of course, it was also possible that Elder Yan had always harbored some doubts about him being a reincarnator, which would now be completely dispelled after this battle.

From the torn head of the silver giant wolf, Ye Chen extracted a pearl-sized core, about the size of a baby’s fist, an Innate Demon Pill.

He could clearly feel the abundant and pure energy within, continuously surging and far surpassing the spiritual energy he normally absorbed, which was only second to the spiritual energy found in the Human Emperor Tower.

Holding the Innate Demon Pill, Ye Chen exhaled softly and carefully sealed it in a jade box to prevent the escape of its spiritual energy, whispering, "Finally, I can begin my breakthrough to the Small Success Level of the Human Origin Body Technique."

The Human Origin Body Technique, the first part of the Magic Technique of the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Human, once cultivated to the Small Success Level, the physical body alone could match an Innate Strong Person.

To the Great Success Level, one could fight against entities beyond the Martial God Realm.

Only by cultivating the Human Origin Body Technique to the Small Success Level did he truly begin to have the most basic foundation to stand on in this world.

Soon, Ye Chen found an abandoned cave large enough to house a room. Inside, he dug out a pool only about three meters wide. The water was not clear but radiated a seven-colored splendor, overflowing with spiritual energy.

This pool was created by Ye Chen, who meticulously selected several Spiritual Medicines and numerous herbs, melting them with auxiliary cultivation liquid according to the most appropriate ratio to enrich it with nature’s spiritual energy.

Ye Chen had specifically chosen a secluded cave, transported clear spring water, and refined the Medicine Pond, all for the purpose of his upcoming breakthrough.

There, he planned to break through and fully advance the Human Origin Body Technique to the Small Success Level. Once successful, he would truly be able to match an Innate Strong Person.

However, Ye Chen didn’t choose to break through immediately. Instead, he brought the silver giant wolf’s carcass back to the cave and took a tripod furnace out from Elder Yan’s Ancient Ring, placing it inside. Opening his mouth, a flame appeared, bearing a faint golden luster and entering the furnace.

This was Human Origin Fire, transformed from Human Origin Power, and now Ye Chen had only managed to cultivate a thread of it, turning it into a flame to refine the silver giant wolf.

The silver giant wolf, being an Innate Demonic Beast, possessed a strong physical body with blood teeming with powerful Blood Qi, enriched with spiritual energy due to its ability to cultivate. Consuming it would be greatly nourishing, able to nourish yin and replenish the kidneys, invigorate the blood and rejuvenate the spirit, expelling hidden ailments.

If refined using the Alchemy Method, it could even yield a Blood Pill.

This Blood Pill, though not as supreme as the Innate Demon Pill, was the essence of an Innate Demonic Beast. Once consumed, it would invigorate the blood and fortify the physique, significantly enhancing one’s constitution.

After refining for half a day, ashes fluttered out from the furnace, and a thumb-sized Blood Pill emerged, emitting a rich blood light and filled with surging Blood Qi, an excellent tonic indeed.

After creating the Blood Pill, Ye Chen immediately began to recuperate, taking a full day to bring himself back to peak condition, as the process of creating the Blood Pill was immensely draining.

The next moment, Ye Chen stripped off all his clothes, leaped into the Medicine Pond, and said to Elder Yan in the Ancient Ring, "Guard the Dao for me; I’m going to break through."

Having said that, he paid no further attention and entered the cultivation state, leaving Elder Yan in the ring somewhat helpless. This guy really took him for granted, leaving Elder Yan with no choice but to float out and guard the Dao for him.
