Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 308 - 305 Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain Fire Ape Shows Its Ferocity

Chapter 308: Chapter 305 Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain Fire Ape Shows Its Ferocity

The so-called Primordial Divine Power essentially meant that a Divine Power Seed was cultivated before Core Formation, and at the time of forming the Golden Core, the Divine Power merged integrally with the Golden Core, indistinguishable from one another. Alternatively, it could be a Divine Power that naturally emerged when one’s Cultivation reached a certain level of strength, which could also be regarded as a Primordial Divine Power.

Among these included several Divine Powers derived from Qin Feng’s Azure Dragon Daoist Body.

This type of Divine Power was also equivalent to one’s Innate Divine Ability because it had merged into the Golden Core and integrated into the body’s instincts, which meant its power could naturally increase as one’s Cultivation improved. This was a method of gradual progression.

Even after Becoming an Immortal, the Primordial Divine Power allowed a Cultivator to more easily comprehend the Power of Laws within, which could then transform into a Supreme Divine Power.

However, all other Divine Powers obtained through separate Techniques after reaching the Golden Core Realm could only be considered independent Divine Powers, similar to Spells, only more powerful than Spells.

Such Divine Powers were like steps, with only so many levels, from Divine Power to Great Divine Power and then to the following Supreme Divine Power, one must thoroughly comprehend the path ahead to enhance their power. Moreover, they would consume more True Yuan when used, unlike the instinctive ease of using a Primordial Divine Power.

...

Generally speaking, aside from Body Cultivators and Martial Arts Cultivators who could derive Divine Powers early due to their exceptionally refined physical bodies, ordinary Cultivators only awakened several Divine Powers after advancing to the Purple Mansion Realm through understanding the Dao Principle. In the Cultivation World, anyone who could cultivate a Primordial Divine Power at the Golden Core Realm was considered a genius Cultivator.

And someone like Qin Feng who mastered so many Divine Powers right upon entering the Golden Core Realm was truly a rare gem.

He dared not claim to be the only one; the Cultivation World was not lacking in peerless evils, with some geniuses of supreme talent and extraordinary Qi Fortune capable of doing things ordinary people could not. He was merely fortunate to have encountered certain opportunities, leveraging the Demon Refining Pot’s effect, and thus had a more profound foundation than the vast majority of Cultivators.

Since the Shadow Transformation Divine Power automatically advanced upon his Core Formation, Qin Feng now found it rather effortless to transform himself into a Shadow.

Indeed, he could have directly rescued Xiu Xin in front of the Church, given he was also skilled in Earth Escape Divine Power, simply taking Xiu Xin and leaving underground with Earth Escape Divine Power could work.

However, he had already scouted out the Church earlier and faintly sensed the presence of two extremely powerful beings. The Red Robed Archbishop of Lanton City was on par with a Purple Mansion Cultivator, and Lord Doro, who was just passing through from Iron Wall City, was also a formidable figure of the same Realm.

Although he was confident he could take Xiu Xin away from their midst, using the Earth Escape Divine Power even once would certainly draw the attention of the Light Church, which would be detrimental to his future actions.

Qin Feng still intended to claim the treasures from the Holy Mountain before using Earth Escape Divine Power to make his escape, so he dared not reveal it prematurely now.

There were no invincible methods in this world; once exposed, there would surely be those who found countermeasures. Furthermore, Earth Escape was merely a skill for traversing underground and was far from invincible.

Once the Light Church found out about his ability, with their vast resources and the high echelons’ foresight, they would likely spend great costs to solidify the entire surface of the Holy Mountain with Magic, making it difficult for him to burrow into.

After all, there were too many secrets on the Holy Mountain, and the Church certainly wouldn’t feel secure against underground infiltration, whether for stealing intelligence, treasures, or even for the personal safety of the high dignitaries, wary of someone suddenly burrowing up from below to assassinate them.

In any case, once he dared expose his ability to move through the earth, not only would the Light Church take strict precautions, but other major Churches and Royal Families, as well as any able nobles, would likely install Prohibition Magic in their important locations to prevent subterranean intrusion.

As for the Shadow Transformation Divine Power, although it was secretive, if he really used it in front of an Archbishop, he would definitely be detected given their intense spiritual power, difficult to elude.

Unless the two powerful beings weren’t focusing their attention on Xiu Xin, only then would there be a chance for him to whisk Xiu Xin away from the Church and slip past their investigation.

While the Red Robed Archbishop’s spiritual power was strong, the Priests’ use of spiritual power wasn’t as varied as that of Cultivators. Their method of using spiritual power to scan their surroundings was overly crude. As long as he maintained a certain distance from them, Qin Feng was confident he could deceive them.

That’s why he planned to use other means to lure those two powerful entities away, or at the very least distract them to focus their energies elsewhere.

A moment later, outside the West City Gate of Lanton City, a demon beast engulfed in flames suddenly appeared, howling as it charged towards the city gate.

This sight left all the soldiers stationed at the city gate, as well as the civilians entering and leaving the city, dumbstruck.

This was the interior of the kingdom; where did such a powerful high-level demon beast come from?

Of course, that wasn’t the main issue, the point was that this demon beast was crazily rushing towards them.

It looked as though someone had angered the demon beast and it wanted to break into the city.

Could it be that someone had stolen the cub of this Fire Ape demon beast, leading it to follow the scent here?

Some quick-thinkers immediately considered this possibility.

It seemed that only under such circumstances would a high-level demon beast recklessly attack a Human Clan city, as otherwise, with the intelligence of a high-level demon beast, it usually wouldn’t act so foolishly.

The young of a high-level demon beast could be sold for at least several hundred thousand gold coins, a truly immense fortune; therefore, adventurers often sneaked into demon beast lairs attempting to steal the young.

Although not many were successful, and it was more likely they would end up as food in the belly of a demon beast, each year, there were always a few lucky souls who became overnight riches and subsequently led the lives of nobility.

People tend to easily forget those who perished in the wilderness, yet the tales of those who successfully stole demon beast cubs were often heard, so each year countless adventurers still ventured into the deep mountains and dense forests, aiming to find the lairs of high-level demon beasts in the hope of striking it rich.

So, some people at the city gate naturally thought of this; after all, there had been many cases of demon beasts frantically attacking cities for their offspring.

“Those damned bastards, can’t they steal demon beast cubs and take them somewhere else instead of using Lanton City to shield themselves from the demon beast’s wrath?”

The onlookers were filled with jealous thoughts, but that didn’t stop them from swiftly making their escape, as if their feet were greased.

The Fire Ape advanced at an astonishing speed; if they didn’t run now, they would surely be trampled to death under its massive feet.

Not only did the civilians near the city gate flee, but the squad of soldiers originally maintaining order at the gate also turned tail and ran.

They were just ordinary soldiers, without even a whisper of Fighting Energy cultivated; how could they possibly withstand such a ferocious high-level demon beast?

At the city gate, a few horses pulling an exquisitely luxurious carriage about to leave the city suddenly whinnied in distress. Terrified by the Fire Ape’s aura ahead, their legs shook uncontrollably and they collapsed to the ground.

Had they been trained warhorses, it wouldn’t have come to this, but these carriage horses were pampered by nobility’s stablemen until they became creatures of luxury—fleshy and well-formed, yet far less brave than warhorses, hence they immediately collapsed from fright.

The coachman too was trembling all over as he rolled to the side.

The two ladies inside the carriage, dressed in elegant low-cut long gowns, were about to tumble over due to the sudden halt. Angry, they pushed open the carriage door, intending to scold, but at a glance saw the Fire Ape charging towards them.

They were nearly scared out of their wits, screaming as they scrambled out of the carriage, completely disregarding their image. Even if they dirtied their luxurious gowns by falling to the ground or were seen in a compromising state by the stablemen, they paid it no heed.

“Miladies, run for your lives.”

The coachman swallowed, didn’t dare to look anymore, quickly helped the two noblewomen to their feet, and hurried them away.

They had barely taken a few steps away when the Fire Ape reached the city gate. With an inadvertent stomp, its massive foot crushed the luxurious carriage into pieces.

Having survived in the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm for many years, it had already reached maturity, its body towering over five zhang high, appearing exceptionally massive. Even without taking its Flame Divine Power into account, just the sheer strength of its physical body was a formidable presence that ordinary creatures dared not challenge.

Lanton City, located in the middle of the kingdom and not on the frontier, consequently had city walls that weren’t built too tall. While roughly four zhang in height was enough to fend off any cavalry charge, this height barely reached the chest of the Fire Ape.

The Fire Ape let out a roar that reached for the heavens, extending its thick arms and forcefully pushed against the city gate.

With a thunderous boom, the wall, which was not much more than a low barrier in its eyes, was toppled.

In truth, if the city walls had been properly constructed of giant stones, they wouldn’t have been easily pushed down. However, due to the absence of warfare over many years, the nobility of Lanton City had skimped on construction, resulting in walls that were not very sturdy. Once the Fire Ape had pushed over the city gate, the sand and earth within the walls became visible.

It seemed likely that after this incident, those nobles would learn their lesson.

The Fire Ape took long strides, rushing in the direction its master had indicated.

This creature did not take the usual path, charging through everything in its way, leaving houses destroyed in its wake, terrifying all who heard the commotion and saw the Fire Ape, sending them fleeing in panic.

Oblivious to its surroundings, the Fire Ape headed straight for the church not too far from the city gate.

Even before it reached the church, it had already hurled a gigantic fireball from a distance, blasting the church into pieces and damaging several surrounding houses.

Before long, the knights from within the church came rushing out, shielding the priests. When they saw the Fire Ape’s enormous shape and its wild momentum, they groaned weakly, “This has to be a level-eight demon beast, right? Damn it, how could a level-eight beast break into Lanton City?”

“Why is this demon beast attacking our church?”

“Forget about that now, launch the Magic Signal Flares, ask for support from the Archbishop, otherwise we’re doomed.”

At that, multiple Magic Bullets soared into the sky, alerting the Archbishop and others who were far away in the east of the city.

“What’s going on?”

Inside the church, the Red Robed Archbishop and a handsome middle-aged man clad in silver-white armor, who had been in discussion, furrowed their brows and glanced outside.

Considering their noble status, they did not go out to observe directly. However, an attendant, quick-witted, stepped out to inquire about the situation.

Quickly, before the attendant could return with a report, the Knight Leader arrived, bursting in: “Archbishop, the Western Church has sent out a high-level Magic Signal Flare for help.”

“Hmm?”

“Who would dare attack a church of our Light God Church?”

The Red Robed Archbishop was clearly surprised.

Nowadays, the Light God Church had become the most powerful institution on the continent. Although there was fierce competition among the various churches, typically they would instigate the nations under their control to wage war against their opponents, seeking to encroach upon their territory. It was rare that someone would dare to cause trouble in their heartland.

After all, such actions were highly dangerous and could easily lead to a deadly trap.

“It’s not humans.”

“Not humans?”

The Archbishop and the Doro Holy Knight exchanged puzzled glances, looking at the knight for an explanation.

Fortunately, it didn’t take long for the Knight Leader to say, “It’s a demon beast, Your Eminence. A high-level demon beast attacked the Western Church in the city.”

“Oh? There’s actually a demon beast attacking the city. Could it be under someone’s control?”

“Not necessarily.”

The Doro Holy Knight suggested, “It’s very likely that adventurers disturbed its young, and it pursued them into the city. I’ve encountered such incidents twice in Iron Wall City.”

“Alright, let’s go and see for ourselves then. If there really are young from a high-level demon beast, humph, since they’ve caused losses to my Light Church, they’ll need to make reparations.”

Speaking thus, the two men rose and left the room.

“Aleksey, you don’t need to follow us. Stay and help guard the church.”

The Archbishop instructed the Knight Leader, then set off with the Holy Knight towards the west side of the city.

He had to go, not only because all of the church’s personnel in Lanton City were under his command but also because he wasn’t sure how many young the high-level demon beast had.

If he didn’t go, the high-level demon beast might be killed by Doro, and when the young were found, there was no guarantee they’d be shared with him.

Not only because each high-level demon beast youngling was worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins, but also because despite both being nobles of the Light Church, they belonged to different factions.

The Red Robed Archbishop oversaw all the church affairs in the Orton Kingdom. All matters of proselytization and various issues were under his management, whereas the Doro Holy Knight was the Deputy Commander of the Guardian Knight Order, wielding military power and commanding troops.

Mature high-level demon beasts were basically impossible to subjugate, but their young were much easier to deal with. Once raised, they would be akin to having an additional powerful force. Even if these two didn’t need it for themselves, even using it as a favor to give away would exact a significant reward.

In the West City, the Fire Ape ruthlessly turned the church into rubble, then a few fireballs left the knights either dead or injured. Afterward, it grabbed the bishop and priests of the church, turning to flee towards the outskirts.

There was no choice but to run. Qin Feng already sensed the presence of the Archbishop and that Doro Holy Knight. They had taken to the skies and were rapidly approaching.

The Fire Ape moved swiftly, not taking the original route through the West City Gate but leaping across many buildings to reach the city wall’s edge. With one swipe of its claw on the city wall, its immense body leaped out, hurrying towards the forests outside the city.

However, as soon as it entered the woodlands, it was captured by Qin Feng in the Demon Refining Pot.

As for the poor priests, because the Fire Ape had gripped them a bit too tightly in the palm of its hand earlier, they were all crushed to death.
