Chapter Eighty-Three: Unexpected Encounter with Wolves

  Encountered a pack of wolves

  Zhou Yuan was well-read in all kinds of books and naturally recognized this ordinary demon beast.

  "Silver Wolf, this is a wind system demon beast, the cultivation of the realm of technique, in the southern wilderness, it is very common."

  Roar...

  Suddenly, the Silver Wolf let out a loud howl and a whirlwind was generated from its mouth. With a flick of its head, it struck towards Zhou Yuan. Zhou Yuan's senses were extremely sharp, and he could see several small wind blades rotating within the whirlwind. If he couldn't dodge it, the whirlwind would strike his body, and the small wind blades would immediately cut through his skin and flesh, causing severe injury.

  Even a master who can kill the reincarnated soul of a great being can easily take his life, let alone a small demon in the realm of magic. He raised his hand and swung it, unleashing a bolt of lightning that sent the wolf flying, its body charred black from the electric shock, severely injured and knocked unconscious.

  Zhou Yuan didn't stand on ceremony either, and activated the War God's Scripture, sucking him into a desiccated corpse.

  This is the overbearing aspect of Zhou Yuan's War God Emperor Scripture, it can absorb all things' yuan force for its own use, whether it be inanimate or animate objects, as long as they contain yuan force within their bodies, they can all be absorbed by Zhou Yuan and transformed into his own use.

  Starting from this lone wolf, Zhou Yuan's cultivation in the Southern Wilderness can be said to have truly begun. In the following days, Zhou Yuan slaughtered countless demonic beasts, with some at the lowest Gathering Yuan realm and others as high as the Golden Dan realm. Not a single one was spared by Zhou Yuan, all were slaughtered.

  And even the yuan force within them was not spared, all of it was absorbed and refined, becoming their own power.

  Zhou Yuan was constantly fighting, enriching his combat skills while the yuan force in his body was also rapidly increasing. Now he had completely reached the middle stage of the Golden Core realm and this speed was still being maintained, taking big strides towards the Killing Life Calamity realm.

  "Roar..." Another Golden Dan Boundary Late-stage Golden-haired Tiger King blocked Zhou Yuan's path.

  These monsters are like they have no guts at all, completely unaware of fear, only wanting to eat food, regardless of whether their strength is sufficient or not, and desperately want to fight to the death.

  This golden-haired tiger king, clearly sensing Zhou Yuan's aura, which was even stronger than his own, was unknowingly fearful and only wanted to kill Zhou Yuan.

  "You're really asking for death, rushing to your own demise. I won't hold back." Zhou Yuan struck swiftly, his foot tapping the ground as he instantly traversed dozens of meters, arriving in front of the Golden-haired Tiger King and striking it down with a single, merciless slash.

  Lightning sword energy activated, countless electric lights, everywhere diffuse, dazzling to the extreme, with a terrifying and violent aura, towards the Golden Tiger King slashing out.

  Puff puff...

  Several sword auras chopped and killed on the Golden-haired Tiger King's body, immediately cutting its body into four or five pieces.

  When Zhou Yuan left, he left behind a dry corpse.

  "This southern wilderness, no wonder it's a good place for monks to cultivate, everywhere is full of demonic beasts, and they even know they're not opponents, but still rush up to kill, the whole thing is just sending themselves to death. I've only been in this southern wilderness for about ten days, my power has increased by at least double." Feeling the majestic yuan force within his body, Zhou Yuan's innermost heart was extremely delighted.

  However, he did not know that his strength could increase so quickly, not because of the many demons in Nanhuang, but because there was a War God's Magic Classic in his body, an unparalleled heavenly scripture.

  With this classic in hand, Zhou Yuan was able to absorb the primal forces of all things and transform them into his own use. It was just like a magnet, attracting everything around him and making it his own. This way of cultivating was so fast that it was difficult to imagine.

  "Huh? It seems like there are many demonic beasts up ahead!" Zhou Yuan suddenly sensed a thick demonic aura, he didn't dare make any big movements, and even made his actions extremely light, slowly sneaking forward.

  Places with many people will have a strong atmosphere, and places with many demons will have a lot of demonic energy. The stronger the demon's power, the more intense the demonic energy it emits.

  Zhou Yuan's gaze swept forward, and tens of meters ahead, there were many towering ancient trees. Under the ancient trees, there were dozens of cyan wolves. These wolves were larger than silver wolves by a size, with scarlet eyes that seemed to be extremely ferocious and brutal beasts at first glance.

  "More ferocious than the Silver Wolf, my god, how can there be so many Blue Wolves in this city? Roughly counting, there are at least over 40 Blue Wolves. Did I run into a wolf pack?"

  At this moment, Zhou Yuan's mood became tense. In the Southern Wilderness, what he feared most was not a single powerful demon beast, but a group of them.

  If you encounter a powerful demon beast, even if your strength is not enough to want to escape, it's still possible to escape. However, if you encounter a group of demon beasts surrounding you from all sides, even if your strength is higher than these demon beasts, a good man can't stand against many people. At that time, there will only be one outcome: being exhausted by these demon beasts until you have no strength left and are dragged to death.

  Zhou Yuan carefully observed them and found that the strength of these green wolves was around the level of the Magic Technique Boundary, which wasn't particularly powerful. However, among them, there was one exceptionally strong green wolf, a formidable figure at the Killing Life Boundary.

  "The leader of the wolves actually has a murderous aura, it seems that we can't underestimate them. Adding to that, there are over 40 wolves with cultivation levels, today is going to be troublesome. Should I take action or should I detour and avoid these wolves?" Zhou Yuan was deeply conflicted in his heart.

  However, he soon made up his mind that this time in Nanhuang's cultivation, Zhou Yuan had already decided that as long as there was a thread of possibility for success, he would absolutely not retreat unless his life was under extreme threat. Otherwise, he would go all out to turn danger into safety. If he retreated at the slightest sign of danger, he would lose many opportunities to cultivate on the edge of life and death, which would only be detrimental to breaking through the boundary.

  Imagine that, from now on, whenever you encounter difficulties, you retreat, and over time, you will develop a timid nature, without the courage to face death, how can you contend with heaven and break through the boundaries?

  Zhou Yuan took out a golden bead from his bosom, grasped it tightly and said, "Today, whether we can succeed or not depends on you. I hope you won't let me down."

  In his hand, he was holding a golden elixir that had killed another golden elixir realm monster, and the remaining golden elixir was not absorbed by him, but as his own capital.

  A golden elixir, if absorbed and refined by Zhou Yuan using the War God's Scripture, can indeed greatly enhance his strength. However, this effect has not been maximized. If the golden elixir is ignited, causing it to explode, the resulting attack power will be absolutely terrifying. It can be said that if a golden elixir is used properly, it can definitely heavily injure even a top-notch master at the Killing Intent Realm.

  Today, Zhou Yuan's success in defeating this pack of young wolves depends on whether this golden elixir can play its greatest role.

  Zhou Yuan was waiting for the right moment, and now wasn't the best time to appear. These green wolves seemed to have just returned from hunting, and several carcasses of unknown ordinary deer or deer demons were being fiercely torn apart by these forty or so green wolves, who were eating with gusto.

  "Kill!!!" Just as this group of young wolves were enjoying their meal with gusto, Zhou Yuan suddenly let out a loud roar and charged out.

  His roar was a manifestation of the Thunderclap Shockwave technique, with a voice like a great bell and an aura that sent those green wolves jumping in fright.

  Taking advantage of their momentary confusion, Zhou Yuan suddenly charged out and rushed towards the pack of wolves. Before he even arrived, his dense and unparalleled Thunder Sword Qi had already struck out, with his target being the leader of the pack, the Azure Wolf King.
