Chapter 4: Great Harvest, Enemies Come Knocking!

Boom, boom, boom! One day a hundred years later, as many messages surfaced in his mind.

Duobao felt his body suddenly shudder.

Immediately afterward, he actually manifested his true form, the Duobao Rat.

Immediately afterward, his entire rat body suddenly swelled up.

In just a split second, Duobao's body began to swell rapidly; almost in an instant, it expanded from tens of meters to a hundred meters.

The lustrous white fur all over his body had turned a pale silver, flashing silver light.

The fur all over his body had become as thick as an infant's arm, up to three feet long, flashing with chilly light like spears, releasing rolling waves of icy killing intent.

His physical strength had been transformed beyond recognition; with every move, demonic qi surged wildly, the scene magnificent beyond measure!

At the corners of his mouth, two icy-white fangs were bared, and his eyes emitted waves of cold.

Especially, the aura radiating from his whole body was astonishing, far surpassing the cultivation of an early-stage True Immortal.

"Late-stage True Immortal, one minor realm higher than that Kui Niu; this time, I finally have the strength to fight!"

After examining his true form in the valley for a while, Duobao manifested his Way body, his whole body flowing with silver rosy light; combined with his handsome appearance, he looked even more dashing and elegant.

"What an unexpected delight!"

Overjoyed, Duobao looked at the Five Phases Glazed Pagoda flashing with spiritual light in his hand, his face full of excitement.

What he didn't expect was that he had merely observed the Five Phases Glazed Pagoda for a while, his original intention being to see if he could refine a few spiritual seals.

But he never imagined that he had actually completely refined the Five Phases Glazed Pagoda.

Moreover, he gained an unexpected delight.

"Five Phases Refining Method!" When it comes to refining artifacts, in Duobao's memory, only the Yuanshi Tianzun among the Three Pure Ones is the strongest.

But the artifact-refining method of Yuanshi Tianzun differs from this Five Phases Refining Method.

Yuanshi Tianzun's is a postnatal artifact-refining method, whereas Duobao's is one he possessed since the Chaos era, and it is based on the Five Phases.

Although Duobao can now only craft acquired spiritual treasures, as his cultivation advances, even innate spiritual treasures can be forged by him.

This Five Phases Refining Method greatly aids his comprehension of the Dao and his cultivation.

Moreover, he has acquired a divine ability.

"Five Phases Divine Thunder!"

"Five Phases Divine Thunder is divided into: Great Five Phases Divine Thunder, Small Five Phases Divine Thunder, and Chaos Five Phases Divine Thunder!"

"Gui Water Divine Thunder, Bing Fire Divine Thunder, Yi Wood Divine Thunder, Wu Earth Divine Thunder, Geng Metal Divine Thunder are the Five Phases Divine Thunder! But these Five Phases Divine Thunder are all innate attributes, top-tier divine thunder among divine thunder; a mere strand can directly reduce him to ashes."

Whereas the divine ability Duobao comprehended is the acquired Five Phases Divine Thunder.

Although it belongs to the acquired category, its power is worlds apart from that of the innate Small Five Phases Divine Thunder, despite being similar.

Nevertheless, because it belongs to the Five Phases Divine Thunder, its rank is extremely high.

"One day, if one reverses the innate, it may not be impossible to comprehend the true innate Five Phases Divine Thunder; even the Small Five Phases Divine Thunder is not to be underestimated."

Moreover, Duobao can also employ some divine abilities of the Small Five Phases Divine Thunder, such as the Five Thunder Strike; even a True Immortal cannot withstand its swift blow.

Thus, he could truly engage the Kui Niu in an evenly matched battle.

Furthermore, his cultivation is one minor realm higher than that of the Kui Niu.

Thinking of this unexpected gain, Duobao was extremely excited.

He seemed to have found a rapid cultivation path that does not harm his foundation.

This time it was an acquired spiritual treasure; if it were an innate spiritual treasure, what kind of gain would that be?

Just thinking about it made Duobao unable to contain his excitement.

But the road must be taken step by step; do not be overly ambitious.

Taking a deep breath, Duobao strove to calm himself.

Feeling the power of the acquired Five Phases Divine Thunder, Duobao intended to test its might.

But just then, Duobao suddenly frowned; a cold light flashed in his eyes, and killing intent arose.

He directly turned into a silver streak and shot out.

Outside the cave.

An incredibly huge, burly beast stood towering on the wilderness.

Its back was covered with hard, greenish scales, the surface uneven.

Its head was bluish-green, composed of layered soft flesh; its huge black eyes, as large as basketballs, emitted a fierce, menacing light.

The beast opened its mouth wide and let out an unrestrained roar at Duobao.

Around its huge mouth were sharp fangs, smeared with saliva, giving off a muddy, watery stench; it looked extremely terrifying, its bite force astonishing.

Accompanied by a tremendous thunderclap that echoed in all directions, the mountains trembled.

His cultivation had reached the mid-stage True Immortal!

"Kui Niu!"

"Enemies meeting are especially filled with hatred!"

"Heheh... you little rat, you're still alive, and you even broke the great formation, taking what belonged to this seat; you're recklessly bold!"

"Little rat, today you..."

"Old ox, surrender your life!"

Without waiting for the Kui Niu to finish speaking, Duobao instantly manifested his true form; in the heavens and earth, a hundred-meter-tall silver rat suddenly appeared.

Its size even exceeded that of the Kui Niu by a hair.

Then it turned into a silver streak, vanishing instantly from its original spot, and reappearing right above the Kui Niu's head.

As magical power surged, he unleashed his strongest strike.

As a person of later generations, Duobao well knows the principle that when conversation doesn't click, even half a sentence is too much.

Since we are enemies and it's a fight to the death, what's the point in wasting words?

Just attack directly.

All that talk about courtesy before force, apologizing first, is nonsense.

When dealing with enemies, if you can act, don't just chatter!

Moreover, when you strike, do it with full force.

If you can kill with one blow, never waste time on flashy showmanship.

"Five Thunder Strike!"

A loud shout suddenly burst from Duo Bao's mouth.

Immediately, a five-colored thunder cluster suddenly formed right above Kui Niu's head.

With the rumbling thunder, it suddenly crashed down! A terrifying aura that pierced the soul instantly spread, as if it would destroy everything.

Kui Niu, unprepared, was instantly dumbfounded.

I never expected that this former defeated subordinate would strike first.

Moreover, his first move was a deadly killing technique, leaving Kui Niu at a loss.

Completely dumbfounded on the spot.

Kui Niu has two innate divine abilities: first, sound wave attack; each roar is accompanied by rolling thunder, its sound carries for miles, and those with weak cultivation will be directly shattered by the shock.

Second, thunder divine ability; the moment he lifts his foot, he can unleash endless lightning, striking enemies down until their souls scatter.

But this time, a living being actually used thunder divine ability right in front of him— isn't that showing off one's skill before an expert? However, Kui Niu's mistake was underestimating his opponent.

Just as he was about to strike, using his innate divine ability, his sound wave skill shattered the Five Thunder Strike at that instant.

Duo Bao, however, suddenly gave a strange smile.
