"The strong are the rules."

"Weakness is the original sin."

Theresa curled her lips.

"Ha! What a cold-blooded and cruel world."

Himeko smiled peacefully.

"After cultivating immortality, one layer is one heaven; just like when Refining Spirit into Void cultivators fight, countless mortals and low-level immortal cultivators will die."

"But just like you, will you feel guilty because you accidentally stepped on an ant while walking?"

"Of course, righteous cultivators won't be so extreme, but honestly..."

Himeko was silent for a long time and then smiled bitterly:

"Shushan, from top to bottom, from the Sect Master to those cultivators who have just achieved Refining Essence into Qi."

"Perhaps they will protect mortals, but... deep down, they don't think they are the same species as mortals."

"Just like what the Sect Master said, immortal cultivators can be benevolent, but it must be benevolence from top to bottom; immortal cultivators are always high above."

"For immortal cultivators, mortals are perhaps more like cute pets kept at home."

Kiana looked at Himeko with complicated eyes.

"Teacher Himeko, are you like this too?"

Himeko was silent for a long time and looked at Kiana peacefully.

"I don't want to hurt your heart, Kiana, but... it is indeed so."

At this moment, Kiana only felt that Himeko had changed too much.

"Only after cultivating immortality will you understand what kind of path this is."

"Sorry Kiana, I don't want to say such cruel words, but I am an immortal cultivator; I have my own Dao heart."

"If I really thought I was no different from a mortal after cultivating immortality, my Dao heart would shatter, and my cultivation would plummet."

Such

"This is the peak Foundation Establishment fierce beast I solved on the way."

Hearing this, Kevin and the others hurriedly stood up and surrounded it.

This was a giant python, but it had three purple fleshy horns on its head and four wings on its back; it looked somewhat eerie.

Although it was already dead, the residual aura of ferocity and violence still made everyone gasp.

"Energy reaction comparable to an Emperor-class Honkai beast."

Einstein pushed her glasses and looked at the data on her instrument.

"So, this guy is equivalent to an Emperor-class Honkai beast."

Kiana looked at Einstein curiously, but the latter didn't answer; however, Durandal suddenly attacked.

A palm strike carrying powerful Honkai energy slashed fiercely at the top of the fierce beast's head.

With a muffled sound, Durandal felt her own palm ache.

And that fierce beast only lost two horns; the third horn didn't move at all.

Rita was surprised.

Durandal had been able to kill three Emperor-class Honkai beasts with her bare hands a long time ago, and she was certainly stronger now.

This strike, although without weapon enhancement, could be considered her full effort.

And it didn't cause much damage?

And this fierce beast was already dead.

If it were alive...

It would probably mean Durandal would be in a bitter fight.

"As expected!"

Durandal rubbed her wrist with a complex mood.

"The moment my Honkai energy touched this fierce beast, a terrifying force forcibly erased nearly seventy percent of my Honkai energy."

"This fierce beast is probably catching up to the Chiyou of the past."

"Is this... really just a peak Foundation Establishment fierce beast?"

Durandal looked at Himeko with a downcast mood.

The latter smiled, said nothing, pointed her fingers like a sword, and slashed through the fierce beast with ease.

The next moment, the big guy was precisely divided into countless pieces of meat; as for the leather, it was removed by Himeko and placed to the side.

The blood was controlled by Himeko and poured into a jade container.

The bones were also perfectly removed and placed to the side, jade-like and emitting an alluring fragrance.

Even the blood, which should have been very fishy, was extremely delicious, immediately stirring Kiana's appetite.

"Such fragrant blood!"

Kiana looked eagerly at the three exceptionally crimson drops of blood floating on Himeko's fingertips; her life instinct told her to consume them immediately.

"For ordinary people, a fierce beast is a treasure."

Himeko introduced with a smile:

"The blood of a fierce beast can polish the body and strengthen the physique; the meat of a fierce beast contains spiritual energy and can strengthen the internal organs and meridians."

"The fur of a fierce beast is the strongest armor, and the internal organs of a fierce beast are ten times as effective as the flesh."

"But the most important things are the bones and essence blood of the fierce beast."

Himeko pulled out a weapon and tossed it to Durandal.

"Major Himeko..."

Durandal weighed the long sword in her hand.

Very strong!

In terms of hardness, it was stronger than the Abyss Flower.

"Try cutting the bone."

Durandal nodded slightly, gathered her strength, operated her Honkai energy, and slashed at the spine with all her might.

The next moment, the spine was neatly severed.

Durandal was confused, but the long sword in her hand suddenly shattered.

"This!"

Durandal was startled and looked at the weapon in her hand with heartache.

This sword, although it didn't have the power of a Divine Key, but...

In terms of sharpness and hardness, it was stronger than a Divine Key.

And it just shattered like that?

"This is a long sword forged from the bones of a late-stage Foundation Establishment fierce beast; it can be considered a slightly better weapon for warriors."

"As you can see."

Himeko paused and said softly:

"Such a weapon would shatter if it cut the bones of a peak Foundation Establishment fierce beast; if it were your Divine Key, it would probably be about the same."

"Weapons forged from such bones possess spiritual energy and naturally restrain any power that is not spiritual energy, True Essence, or demon power."

"Using such a weapon to attack Honkai creatures is a natural restraint."

After hearing this, Durandal felt even more heartache.

Seeing her like this, Himeko took out a long spear and handed it to Durandal.

"This is a weapon forged from the bones of a late-stage Essence-Refining and Qi-Transforming fierce beast; it should have become a magical artifact, but Senior Sister Immortal Liuyun failed in the forging."

"It doesn't possess the spirituality and characteristic power of a magical treasure, but it is still much stronger than a Divine Key."

"Anyway, your Abyss Flower was also destroyed by me; this weapon should be much stronger than your Abyss Flower."

Himeko didn't need to explain this; the moment she got the spear, Durandal understood.

The current her could basically kill her former self, who held the Abyss Flower, with one shot.

Didn't expect...

That one day, she, Durandal, would actually rely on the advantage of a weapon?

"Thank you, Major Himeko."

Himeko waved her hand and tossed out a simple mechanical instrument.
