Chapter 513: Chapter 46: Hunting the Seventh Tier Demon Beast – Obtaining the Wild Bull Demon Bone (Part 2)

However, the progress in the Returning Void period cultivation was not slow at all. In the Jiang Country Celestial Ruins, Lin Chen enjoyed the best supply of Spiritual Energy.

His cultivation steadily advanced toward the Late Period of Returning Void.

Meanwhile, Jiang Liqian was not in a hurry to acquire the treasury, instead choosing to comprehend the Time Law.

...

A year later.

First Martial Realm, Wild Bull Grassland.

On the vast grassland, dozens of small mountains, each hundreds of feet tall, stood erect.

If observed closely, one would notice that each of these mountains had a pair of horns on top, revealing that they were not mountains, but colossal Wild Bulls.

These Wild Bulls were entirely black, with skin as thick as armor, gleaming with a lustrous sheen.

On this grassland, two figures lay hidden within the tall grass, quietly observing these Wild Bulls.

"Lin, according to the intel... there are nearly thirty Wild Bull Demons on this Wild Bull Grassland."

"Among them are nineteen Fifth Tier Wild Bulls, ten Sixth Tier Wild Bulls, and leading them is... a Seventh Tier Wild Bull..."

Yue pointed toward the largest of the mountains in the distance.

The Seventh Tier Wild Bull, standing at nearly a thousand feet tall.

Even lying on the grassland, it resembled a gigantic mountain.

"Wild Bull Demons are herd demons. If we want to hunt this Wild Bull Demon King, we only have two options."

"Either kill the entire herd... but I don’t suggest that; after all, the growth of the Wild Bull Demon herd isn’t easy, and exterminating them entirely might disrupt the First Martial Realm’s ecosystem..."

"Alternatively, we can lure the Wild Bull Demon King away..."

With that, Yue took out a clump of red medicinal herb.

"This is Demon-Luring Grass, which greatly attracts Wild Bull Demons... we can use this herb to lure the Wild Bull Demon away..."

After thinking it through, Lin Chen found this method feasible.

So the two sneaked close to the Wild Bull Demon King, then took out the Demon-Luring Grass.

Sure enough, the Wild Bull was soon attracted by the scent emitted by the Demon-Luring Grass.

The two led the Wild Bull Demon King away from the herd with the Demon-Luring Grass.

...

A moment later.

Lin Chen looked at the other Wild Bull Demons several hundred miles away and asked:

"When do we make our move?"

"At this distance... those Wild Bull Demons shouldn’t be able to make it here in a few dozen breaths..."

After glancing around, Yue decisively said:

"Now!"

With that, Yue leaped and charged toward the distant Wild Bull Demon King.

"Lin, let’s do this together. You help me hold him off!"

Hearing this, Lin Chen nodded, gripped the Demon-slaying Blade, and charged at the Wild Bull Demon King.

The sudden killing intent quickly caught the attention of the Wild Bull Demon King.

But it was too late.

Yue suddenly charged at the Wild Bull Demon King, his fist crashing into the beast’s abdomen.

Like a mountain crumbling under a bomb, the Wild Bull Demon King retreated hundreds of yards, collapsing to the ground.

It let out a pained wail.

Using his Divine Sense, Lin Chen noticed that the internal organs of the Wild Bull Demon King were severely damaged.

This was Yue’s power.

At the Peak of Martial Saint, having completed the Six Realms of Martial Saint.

Yue’s entire body was as robust as the most resilient Magical Treasure, full of terrifying destructive power.

"Don’t underestimate this Wild Bull; it is a Seventh Tier Demon Beast..."

Yue reminded, and then charged at the Wild Bull once more.

The Ten Thousand Treasures Magical Robe covering him, Yue’s entire body glowed with a golden light as he struck the bull’s weakest abdomen.

At the Peak of Martial Saint, with a Qi and Blood Value nearing ten billion.

Lin Chen didn’t know how powerful Yue’s punch was.

But severing rivers and splitting mountains was no vain promise.

Lin Chen also noticed that Yue wasn’t just using brute force, but a Vibrating Fist technique.

Each punch delivered ten times his strength in impact.

Within just a few breaths, the Wild Bull Demon’s internal organs were pounded into pulp.

However, the Wild Bull Demon King was still not dead!

Even though its insides were a bloody mess, the Wild Bull Demon King demonstrated the terrifying life force of a Seventh Tier Demon King at this moment.

Lin Chen saw with his own eyes as the Wild Bull Demon King rose, then struck Yue with its horns.

As Yue was knocked aside, the Wild Bull Demon King began charging towards its herd.

"Moo!"

The Wild Bull Demon King let out a pitiful cry.

At the same time, the mountain-like Wild Bull Demon herd several hundred miles away began a frenzy, stampeding toward the battleground.

At this rate, those Wild Bull Demons could arrive in less than twenty breaths.

Lin Chen knew it was time for him to act.

With the Demon-slaying Blade in hand, Lin Chen sprang like a cannonball towards the Wild Bull Demon King’s neck.

"Power of the Candle Dragon!"

"Vibrating Blade, twenty times!"

Lin Chen held nothing back in this strike.

One slash consumed nearly one-third of Lin Chen’s stamina.

Simultaneously, a crackling sound of bones echoed through the air.

This was the sound of Lin Chen’s bones.

With his body just entering the Bone Refining Realm, he couldn’t support his full power.

That one slash resulted in over a dozen bone fractures throughout Lin Chen’s body.

But Lin Chen endured it; as the Demon Blade was about to strike the Wild Bull Demon King’s back, it swerved at a peculiar angle.

The tough hide split as easily as cutting through tofu.

A massive amount of flesh and blood poured like a torrential downpour onto the grassland.

With that slash, Lin Chen sliced off a piece of flesh several dozens of yards long.

It lodged between the Wild Bull Demon King’s skull and spine.

The Wild Bull Demon King’s spine severed, it collapsed to the ground, staring with blood-red eyes and breathing heavily.

This was a fatal blow!

With that one slash, Lin Chen severed all hope of escape for the Wild Bull Demon King.

"Well done, boy!"

Yue’s eyes lit up, and quickly followed to finish off the Wild Bull Demon King.

In just ten breaths of time, the two managed to kill the Wild Bull Demon King.

Yet, there was still a daunting challenge before them.

The Wild Bull Demon herd had gone berserk and would catch up in just over a dozen breaths.

And what to do with the thousand-foot-long body of the Wild Bull Demon King?

Using a Nanometer Storage Bag to store it?

That definitely wouldn’t work; even cutting it into pieces would take too long.

As Lin Chen hesitated, Yue stepped forward and gave a mighty heave.

He hoisted the body of the Wild Bull Demon King onto his shoulder.

"Get moving! We’ll deal with the body once we’re someplace safe..."

With that, Yue took off and flew into the sky, fleeing into the distance.

From afar, the Wild Bull Demon King’s body seemed like a mountain flying through the sky.

And in comparison, Yue’s body was as small as an ant...

Lin Chen was astounded by the sight.

Once again, he was shocked by Yue’s strength.

With his own strength, he couldn’t possibly carry this Wild Bull Demon King.

...

Before long, both had escaped thousands of miles away.

Despite flying over ten thousand miles with the Wild Bull Demon King’s body, Yue wasn’t even winded.

He quickly sent a message to the First Legion responsible for logistics.

About a quarter of an hour later, a thousand-strong Martial Artist troop arrived.

And their only task was to divide the Wild Bull Demon King’s body.

"Quickly now, the Wild Bull Demon King’s flesh and blood are useless... but the tendons, horns, hide, these are top-grade materials, don’t damage them..."

"And take the bones apart, especially that one spine segment, around ten yards long... that’s the Wild Bull Demon’s most precious bone."

Yue wiped the blood off himself while giving directions.

That evening, Yue handed Lin Chen a Nanometer Storage Bag.

Inside was the spine of the Wild Bull Demon.

"Lin, use this spine for soup... it should be enough for you to reach Bone Refining Realm Perfection!"

Yue’s eyes held a trace of reminiscence.

"Back in the day, I also killed a Seventh Tier Wild Bull Demon, used its spine for broth, consumed daily... it took about forty-six years to reach Bone Refining Realm Perfection."

"You’re more talented than I was; you should be faster!"
