Protagonist:

Yu Zhangsheng

Lord Han Cheng's thinking was very simple: since Yu Zhangsheng was the one among the three who absorbed Dao Rhyme the fastest and had the greatest need, he would satisfy Yu Zhangsheng first, then consider Meng Wu'an and Li Minghan.

As for this, both Meng Wu'an and Li Minghan had no objections, and Yu Zhangsheng bowed gratefully to Lord Han Cheng, saying:

"Then I will have to trouble Lord Han Cheng."

Yu Zhangsheng knew clearly in his heart that without Lord Han Cheng's assistance, killing this Spirit Beast would, relying on the three of them alone, definitely not have been so fast.

Although the Saber-toothed Tiger killed earlier was merely Two-Striped, if he were to fight it one-on-one, he would still have to expend considerable effort.

But with Lord Han Cheng making a move, the speed was relatively much faster.

"It seems that the strength of Five-Stripe Dao Patterns counts as top-tier here..."

Yu Zhangsheng pondered in his heart, and in the following time, it was a monotonous search for and killing of Spirit Beasts; Lord Han Cheng made move after move, each time resolving the battle cleanly and neatly, and not much more time was spent — most of the time was spent searching for Spirit Beasts.

These Spirit Beasts had varied forms, and their strength was often only between One and Two Stripes, posing no great threat to Lord Han Cheng.

As time passed, three days went by in a flash; at this moment, a week had passed since the three entered the Wu Dao Ta, and during these three days, twenty-odd Spirit Beasts were found one after another, all decomposed by Lord Han Cheng, and the Dao Rhyme was entirely absorbed by Yu Zhangsheng and his Spirit Beasts.

As the Dao Rhyme was about to fill his body, that sense of saturation grew ever stronger, and his understanding of Dao Patterns became even more profound.

After a Two-Striped Three-Tailed Rat of the Earth Attribute was once again absorbed by Yu Zhangsheng, Lord Han Cheng nodded lightly, looked at Yu Zhangsheng, and said softly: "The Spirit Beasts in the Outer Circle, now stimulated, are too much trouble to keep searching for — it affects efficiency too much. Although you haven't condensed a Dao Pattern, with the amount of Dao Rhyme you've absorbed, ordinary One- or Two-Stripe beasts probably aren't your match. If you have no objections, let's set out for the Zhen Yuan Mi Lin Shen Chu."

Lord Han Cheng paused, a trace of hesitation flashing in the depths of his eyes; he sighed lightly, a hint of helplessness showing on his face, shook his head and smiled:

"Right now, letting Dao Rhyme fill your body is only to adapt to the environment for condensing a Dao Pattern, so that the Dao Pattern can survive long in your Golden Core when the time comes; but condensing a Dao Pattern itself also requires additional Dao Rhyme."

"I'm not too worried about Meng Wu'an and Li Minghan, but judging by your current progress, Changsheng, I'm afraid the Dao Rhyme you'll need to condense your Dao Pattern will reach a massive amount — the Spirit Beasts in the entire Zeng Yuan Milin combined might not be enough for you to fully condense it to the end."

Lord Han Cheng sighed lightly, his tone helpless yet tinged with a bitter smile.

By rights this should be a good thing — after all, the more Dao Rhyme needed, the greater the potential, the higher the quality of the condensed Dao Pattern, and the more extreme the enhancement for the Cultivator.

However... if it really develops like this, Lord Han Cheng will have to change his original plan and think of a way from elsewhere.

Hearing this, Yu Zhangsheng's brows furrowed slightly, while Meng Wu'an and Li Minghan looked at each other in blank dismay, surprise appearing on their faces.

After a long moment, Yu Zhangsheng scratched his head, laughed "hehe," cupped his fists to Lord Han Cheng and said: "Many thanks, Lord Han Cheng. Let's see how it goes first; we'll just follow Lord Han Cheng's pace."

"Mm." Lord Han Cheng nodded helplessly; there was no other way now.

After resting a little, the group continued setting out for the Zhen Yuan Mi Lin Shen Chu.

As they went deeper, the surrounding trees grew denser and more lush, green shade everywhere, leaves green to the point of blackness, trees even more towering and straight; slanting sunlight shone down, casting mottled shadows; for a time, wind blew through the trees, bird calls, beast roars, and howling sounds rose and fell without end...

Not long after, the party of four encountered two more Spirit Beasts, which leapt out from behind the trees and let out earth-shaking roars at Yu Zhangsheng and the others, roaring incessantly.

"Roar roar roar!!"

These two Spirit Beasts were of the same variety: lion head, tiger tail, body like an ox, twin horns on the head, heavy white vapor puffing from their nostrils, on their sturdy four limbs red hair like fire undulated like waves, and in their blood-red eyes was revealed a bloodthirsty ferocity; as the roaring swept over, a faint pressure simultaneously weighed on the hearts of the four.

"Two Three-Striped Spirit Beasts, Ox Spirit Lions?"

Lord Han Cheng was surprised, then his brows and eyes lit with joy; looking at the two Spirit Beasts, his expression showed no panic — instead, in an instant he nocked and drew his bow, head slightly tilted, one eye narrowed, the other sighting along his finger on the string, and a phantom arrow flickering with flame condensed out of thin air, aimed at one of the Ox Spirit Lions.

"Ox Spirit Lion, contains the Power Dao Pattern, therefore its physical strength is extremely formidable; you all need to be careful. I'll handle one; the other I'll leave to you, Yu Zhangsheng. You've fused too many Luck attributes, and you also need this chance to personally fight this Spirit Beast — perhaps you'll gain other insights."

As Lord Han Cheng spoke, the flame arrow in his hand suddenly shot out, tearing through the Void, trailing a long tail of flaming feathers, the scorching heat turning into rolling heat waves; locked onto one Ox Spirit Lion, that Ox Spirit Lion instantly panicked, roaring incessantly, its whole body's hair emitting crimson light, forming a faint red Light Curtain blocking in front.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!"

Bow released, arrow flew, the sound of splitting air resounded; the arrow's speed was so fast only streaks of afterimages could be seen flashing through the air, like a peerless Ling Tian Chang Qiang, rushing violently at the Ox Spirit Lion, the flames erupting along with it.

In this shot, Lord Han Cheng infused the power of the Fire Dao Pattern, adding an explosive attribute; thus, in the next instant, the flame arrow slammed into the protection before the Ox Spirit Lion — instantly the Light Curtain boomed, cracks spreading in a split second.

"Roar roar!!"

The Ox Spirit Lion's hair stood on end in terror, roaring continuously; the next instant, violent flames carrying light and heat engulfed it — the flame arrow exploded with a boom! Boom!

In a moment, trees snapped, much grass and wood was destroyed; the Ox Spirit Lion's protection was completely shattered, the explosive power swallowing the Ox Spirit Lion and drowning it, and only a miserable shriek could be heard resounding to the clouds.

The thick smoke dispersed, and when the scene was revealed again, this Ox Spirit Lion's aura had quietly vanished, leaving only a mutilated corpse on the spot, flesh charred, emitting bursts of meat fragrance.

A Three-Striped Spirit Beast Ox Spirit Lion, likewise in Lord Han Cheng's hands, was killed in one arrow.

Li Minghan and Meng Wen'an both froze, secretly glancing at Lord Han Cheng, silently swallowing a mouthful of saliva, inwardly shocked.

Having done all this, Lord Han Cheng merely kept a calm face, his breathing slightly heavy for a moment; after stowing the long bow in his hand, his indifferent gaze locked onto the other Ox Spirit Lion, which had already bristled and suffered some collateral injury from the residual might, and without turning his head he said: "This Ox Spirit Lion is for you to handle, Yu Zhangsheng. Rest assured, I'm watching — it can't hurt you."

"Good." Yu Zhangsheng nodded, took a deep breath, then with a sweep of his sleeve Chi Lian and Cai Xing appeared beside him; light flashed in Yu Zhangsheng's eyes as he looked at the remaining living Ox Spirit Lion, stepped forward, and suddenly charged at it. Now, although the Ox Spirit Lion was a Three-Striped Spirit Beast, it was already injured, and adding these days of Yu Zhangsheng's frantic absorption of Dao Rhyme, his Cultivation Base had not increased, but whether physical body or soul, both had made great progress; more importantly, his comprehension of various divine abilities and methods had risen another level, and their power was even greater.

Plus his Spirit Beasts helping — they too had made great progress in these days of absorbing Dao Rhyme, especially in the understanding and application of their respective innate divine abilities, which should have reached a state of consummate mastery; fighting this Three-Striped Ox Spirit Lion, Yu Zhangsheng felt he had a chance.

"Sha Fire Purgatory!"

"Tree Sea Forest!"

Cai Xing shook its head, its antlers emitting seven-colored light; wherever the light shone, the surrounding trees suddenly shook, thick branches extending out, whipping and lashing at this Ox Spirit Lion as they entwined.

Chi Lian let out a clear Dragon Roar, faint Dragon Might covering this place, sound waves like waves; Chi Lian instantly opened its bloody maw, beneath its long fangs clusters of intense golden-yellow flames suddenly erupted, also attaching to the extending branches around, covering the Ox Spirit Lion together.

Boom! Flames like a sea, trees like wind, assisting each other, wave after wave lashing the Ox Spirit Lion; whether Cai Xing or Chi Lian, both their Realms were suppressed at First Rank Ninth Layer, but this period of absorbing Dao Rhyme had given them huge improvement, and their divine abilities' power far surpassed the ordinary.

For a time, one Ox Spirit Lion roared incessantly, its sturdy four limbs charging wildly, smashing all the vines and trees covering over it to pieces; its hair scattering red light, the raging fire also could not be broken through in a short time.

Yu Zhangsheng coldly hummed, his body breaking through the fire sea and suddenly throwing a fist, landing on the Ox Spirit Lion's head — boom! The Ox Spirit Lion shrieked, pain flashing in its blood-red beast eyes, meeting Yu Zhangsheng's fist and suddenly shuddering forward.

Boom!

A giant force traveled along the Ox Spirit Lion's head, striking Yu Zhangsheng's fist and arm; Yu Zhangsheng muffled a groan, his gaze sharpened, his body leapt back, pulling distance while shaking his arm, feeling a bit numb, inwardly alarmed.

"This guy's strength is actually this great? The Power Dao Pattern's amplification effect on this Spirit Beast is so huge..."

Yu Zhangsheng secretly clicked his tongue, somewhat surprised in his heart; his physical body, though now suppressed here and unable to exert Golden Core Peak power, was still extraordinary, yet for the first time on a Spirit Beast he had gained no advantage.

This also made Yu Zhangsheng even more curious about Dao Patterns in his heart, so he lightly exhaled a breath, and a decision formed in his heart.

"Win with divine abilities, can't be bothered to waste strength trading blows with it!"

Chi Lian Purgatory Dragon roared, Cai Xing Deer cried softly, Yu Zhangsheng's fingers shifted, one Dao Dao divine power after another was cast by him, flames swept, trees entwined, storms like a forest, a piece of Confuse.

And the Ox Spirit Lion, under this endless stream of attacks, although its skin was rough and flesh thick, strength boundless, in the end it still persisted for a good while, then carrying Unwillingness Yu Luo away, likewise leaving a mutilated corpse in place.

The surroundings' Environment, also because of this battle, became Kong Qiang.

"Finally Suo Ding, looking at Han Cheng Lord so easily solving one Ox Spirit Lion, I still thought this thing also not too hard to kill……"

Yu Zhangsheng Wiped the sweat on Zhi Tou forehead, looking at the Ox Spirit Lion corpse lying on Ground, Bitter Smile once, to Han Cheng Lord spoke.

Han Cheng Lord slightly smiled, gaze carrying a trace of Intention looked once at Yu Zhangsheng, said: "You already count as not bad, this Ox Spirit Lion originally skin rough flesh thick, and already reached three Wen, you have not yet Ningju any Dao Pattern, killing it would feel waste effort, wait until you carve out Dao Pattern, Divine Power Dao Method within have Dao Pattern's blessing power, handling will be easy much."

"Is that so……"

Yu Zhangsheng Low Voice answered, Thoughtful, Han Cheng Lord then Spell/Cast Spell, decomposing the two Ox Spirit Lion corpses on Ground, transforming out Liu Dao Dao Pattern afterwards, Dao Pattern Collapse, transforming into a mass small range Dao rhyme mist spreading out.

Yu Zhangsheng then also no longer think more, Operate Breathing Technique, together with Chi Lian Purgatory Dragon etc Spirit Beasts absorb Dao rhyme.

………

System's voice continuously Noise, and this mass Dao rhyme mist, also merely just three minutes time, then was Yu Zhangsheng completely absorbed finished.

"Soon, still lack some then can Shi Shi Ningju Dao Pattern……"

Yu Zhangsheng stretched a lazy waist, Muttering, meeting Ox Han Cheng Lord's gaze, slightly nodded.

Next Two Days, one way have surprise no danger, one head after another Spirit Beasts killed decomposed into Dao rhyme, then absorbed by Yu Zhangsheng, so, when two heads three Wen Spirit Beasts Once Again absorbed finished by Yu Zhangsheng afterwards, Yu Zhangsheng's body suddenly emitted a Boom sound, a dust-transcending temperament, naturally from Yu Zhangsheng body emitted.

"Dao rhyme finally Fill my body as well as Soul."

Yu Zhangsheng Slowly Kai Kai eyes, indifferently smiled, violently once body's Saturation feeling, raise hand move Foot among, a mass invisible momentum naturally emitted, whole person stood at There, ordinary, yet dazzling, seemingly a piece harmonious, with heaven as one.

"Heaven Human Unity? Interesting, also no wonder absorbed this much Dao rhyme……" Han Cheng Lord a startle, slightly smiled. (Chapter End)
