The sight was shocking, making it unbearable to watch.
"It seems there are truly many monsters in this world!"
"And these monsters are not weak. They should all be at the level of demon beasts, and among demon beasts, they should be among the top in strength!"
"It seems I need to find that human and ask about demon beasts," Zhou Yan's eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke.
"Roar!" Just then, Zhou Yan suddenly heard a tiger's roar in the distance.
"What is it?"
Hearing the tiger's roar, Zhou Yan's expression turned serious.
Zhou Yan leaped into the air, looking in that direction.
His eyes narrowed, a cold glint flashing in them, "So, it's a bunch of beasts."
Zhou Yan waved his hand, and over ten ice cones shot out from his surroundings.
The ice cones spun in the air, tearing through the void, and fiercely pierced into the bodies of the distant monsters.
Each monster let out a furious roar and lunged towards Zhou Yan.
However, before they could get close to Zhou Yan, they were impaled by the ice cones, their bodies exploding.
The corners of Zhou Yan's mouth curved into a smile.
"This bunch of beasts has decent strength."
He raised his arm, and the ice cones returned to his palm.
Immediately, Zhou Yan's figure flickered and disappeared from his original spot. In the next second, he appeared amidst the group of demon beasts.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Zhou Yan's fists struck out, each carrying immense power. The physical bodies of these monsters were far weaker than he had anticipated. With a single punch, their bodies exploded, leaving them utterly dead.
Zhou Yan glanced at his surroundings, his brow furrowed. The monsters here were not strong. His speed was unparalleled. In just about twenty minutes, his speed had reached the peak of the Divine Emperor realm, only a hair's breadth away from the Emperor realm. If he continued to cultivate, he could advance to the Emperor realm without any resources.
Zhou Yan mused, and then his figure once again vanished from his spot. The next moment, he appeared on the back of a giant tree, surrounded by countless nests.
Within the nests were many monsters, but they were all asleep and had not awakened.
A smile appeared on Zhou Yan's face, "It seems this world is not as complex as I imagined, nor as dangerous. The environment here is quite suitable for my cultivation."
With that, Zhou Yan's figure once again disappeared from his spot. The next second, he reappeared on another giant tree.
Beside him were densely packed nests.
In each nest lay a monster. Zhou Yan scanned them one by one, killing them all.
A day passed.
"Huh? Why haven't these monsters woken up yet? Could it be that they need to sleep for a longer period?"
Zhou Yan frowned, thinking to himself.
Logically, these monsters should have awakened long ago. Why were they still asleep?
Did these monsters require some special potion?
"Do these monsters need a special potion to catalyze them? If that's the case, will these monsters ever be able to become monsters of the Divine King realm?"
Zhou Yan furrowed his brow.
"Since you are so greedy, do not blame me for being ruthless!"
Zhou Yan's gaze coldly fixed ahead.
Just then, Zhou Yan suddenly heard a deafening roar from the front. The sound was as earth-shattering as thunder.
Zhou Yan followed the sound and saw a massive figure rapidly moving across the distant sky. The figure moved with incredible speed, like a giant meteor streaking across the heavens. Wherever it passed, trees and hills exploded.
The figure's speed was astonishing.
"Hmm? This monster seems rather interesting."
Zhou Yan looked at the massive figure, a hint of curiosity in his eyes. "I wonder how strong this monster truly is. Whether it can defeat me is still debatable."
"Rumble!"
In an instant, the massive figure appeared before Zhou Yan. Its colossal body enveloped the entire world, obscuring its true appearance. It opened its maw and spewed a mass of flames towards Zhou Yan.
The flames coalesced in the air, forming a firebird that attacked Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan let out a cold snort, and the ice cone in his hand shot out. In mid-air, the ice cone transformed into an ice dragon, carrying terrifying might, and fiercely collided with the firebird's fireball.
"Bang!"
With a loud explosion, the ice cone shattered, and the firebird was forced back by the ice dragon, its body swaying slightly.
However, the fire phoenix also sustained some damage, and it retreated rapidly, landing on the ground.
"Roar!"
The fire phoenix roared, spreading its wings and charging towards Zhou Yan with speed like a shooting star.
"Whoosh!"
The fire phoenix's claws stirred up a scorching wave of heat, striking towards Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan snorted coldly, and at the same moment, his figure lunged towards the fire phoenix.
"Rumble..."
"Bang!"
Their figures clashed for hundreds of moves in the air.
A series of violent explosions reverberated from where they clashed. The area was flattened, turned into ruins.
Zhou Yan looked at everything before him, his brow tightly knit. This confrontation had put him under pressure. Although he had reached the peak of the Divine Emperor realm, this fire phoenix was much more powerful than he had imagined.
"This is bad. My current strength is probably not enough to withstand the fire phoenix's attacks. There should be even stronger monsters among these fire phoenixes. If they appear, I might not be their match."
Zhou Yan's heart tightened. Without hesitation, he turned to leave. What he lacked most was time. He had to seize the opportunity to hunt down those monsters.
"Buzz~"
Just as Zhou Yan was about to flee, a faint hum sounded in his Sea of Consciousness. Zhou Yan immediately stopped. He turned his gaze towards his Sea of Consciousness and saw a bead emitting a seven-colored light.
That bead was the Seven-Colored Divine Bead he had obtained from the treasure vault of the Nine Yang Sect.
Zhou Yan looked at the Seven-Colored Divine Bead, his heart filled with boundless joy. He hadn't expected to be so lucky to obtain such an important item so quickly. He could use the Seven-Colored Divine Bead to enhance his strength. Moreover, by absorbing the power of the Seven-Colored Divine Bead here, those monsters would definitely not dare to approach him, allowing him to quickly recover his strength.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yan couldn't help but become excited.
