Chapter 1009: One-Horned Azure Bull

Under Tu Hongyi’s lead, Lin Kuang followed him to the very depths of the valley.

At the deepest part of the valley, a massive wall appeared before their eyes, and in the middle of that wall grew a strange flower.

The flower was only about the size of a normal person’s palm; it didn’t look very big.

At the same time, the flower had five petals about the size of a human finger, and each petal carried one of five different colors.

Earthy yellow, emerald green, fiery red, golden, and the last petal was almost transparent.

These five petals represented the five Elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth!

“Brother, this is the Flowers of the Five Elements.

Looks like it hasn’t fully ripened yet, but judging from the appearance it’s close; give it a few more days and it should be completely mature.”

Looking at Lin Kuang beside him, Tu Hongyi said with a smile.

Hearing this, Lin Kuang nodded, quite stirred.

This was the Flowers of the Five Elements, the crucial opportunity for him to break through the True Realm and step into the Contending Realm. This flower—Lin Kuang had to obtain it.

“I’ll stay here with you these days and guard it. When the Flowers of the Five Elements are fully mature, we’ll pick them and then head back.”

Looking at Lin Kuang by his side, Tu Hongyi spoke again.

Hearing that, Lin Kuang nodded again. “Alright.

But Big Brother, is it really okay leaving Bufan at home by himself?”

“Of course it’s fine. That place is very safe, and he has a strand of my true-name hair with him. If he encounters danger, I can return at any time.”

Tu Hongyi said with a smile.

Hearing this, Lin Kuang finally nodded in relief. “As long as there’s no problem.”

“Mm, nothing will happen.

Let’s rest first and wait it out.

These Flowers of the Five Elements can be considered a rare wonder between heaven and earth. A strange flower of this level will certainly have a Monster Beast guarding it.

It’s just that I haven’t sensed the aura of this Guardian Beast yet.”

Looking at Lin Kuang beside him, Tu Hongyi spoke again.

“Mm, if that Guardian Beast is too powerful, Big Brother, then I’ll have to trouble you.”

Looking at Tu Hongyi, Lin Kuang said somewhat awkwardly.

“I told you, don’t be so polite with me. Just wait. When it’s ripe, we’ll take these Flowers of the Five Elements away.”

Tu Hongyi said with a smile.

Hearing this, Lin Kuang nodded.

Then he stopped thinking about it, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began his Cultivation.

Seeing this, Tu Hongyi fell silent as well, sitting to the side. The two of them began Cultivating.

After all, with a Guardian Beast here, they had to restore their strength to Peak State.

Just like that, time slipped by quietly, and three days passed in a flash.

After three days, a strange fragrance wafted through the valley. The scent was very faint, but breathing it in felt extremely comfortable.

At the same time they smelled this strange fragrance, Lin Kuang and Tu Hongyi opened their eyes almost simultaneously.

As soon as they opened their eyes, they both fixed their gazes directly upon the Flowers of the Five Elements on the wall.

At this moment, the Flowers of the Five Elements were wrapped in a faint glow, looking exceedingly mysterious.

“Looks like it’s about to ripen, right?”

Lin Kuang muttered, his tone quite excited.

“Mm, it’ll be ripe at noon.

Brother, get ready to make a move. I think the Guardian Beast of these Flowers of the Five Elements is about to appear as well.”

At this time, Tu Hongyi stood up, his gaze becoming rather grave as he spoke.

Hearing that, Lin Kuang nodded and stood. The two of them stood suspended in the void, staring at the Flowers of the Five Elements before them.

Time sped by, and there was less than an hour left before noon.

“Careful, the Guardian Beast is coming.”

At this moment, Tu Hongyi spoke in a low voice, a terrifying aura beginning to burst forth from his body, suppressing some of the restless Monster Beasts.

“Roar!”

Just then, a deep roar rang out. A Monster Beast stepped through the air, arriving before Tu Hongyi and Lin Kuang.

This Monster Beast looked quite bizarre—twisted body, horse-like face, and on its forehead grew a crystal-clear single horn.

At the same time, its tail was like that of a crocodile, making it look both strange and terrifying.

“Bloodthirsty Kong, you actually dare invade my territory!”

The strange bull roared, spitting human words from its mouth.

“So it’s you, One-Horned Azure Bull.

You’re the Guardian Beast of these Flowers of the Five Elements?”

Staring at the One-Horned Azure Bull before him, Tu Hongyi spoke, his tone obviously turning heavier.

Clearly, this azure bull was no easy opponent.

“That’s right, this bull is precisely the Guardian Beast of the Flowers of the Five Elements!

Bloodthirsty Kong, the Flowers of the Five Elements are mine. You’d better get out of here, or don’t blame me for being rude to you!”

The azure bull roared, its tone filled with threat and killing intent.

“Rude? You think I’d be afraid of you?

I’ve long wanted to wipe you out. Today I’ll just take the chance to kill you, devour your Beast Core, and increase my strength!”

Staring at the One-Horned Azure Bull in front of him, Tu Hongyi said, eyes bloodshot.

At the same time, Tu Hongyi’s body began to grow taller, the hair all over him bristling out.

The next instant, a Bloodthirsty Kong over three meters tall appeared at Lin Kuang’s side.

His whole body of red fur danced in the wind, his body exuding a violent aura, making him look extremely terrifying.

Seeing Tu Hongyi revert to his Monster Beast form, the bull eyes of that azure bull also revealed a solemn look.

The two of them were the kings of this territory. Normally, they left each other alone like well water and river water, but they both knew the other’s name.

And they both clearly understood that their strengths were probably about evenly matched.

“Damn Kong, you really want to fight me?

Don’t forget, this is my territory!”

The azure bull roared, its low voice unable to conceal its fury.

“Is that so? So what if it’s your territory? Today I, Tu Hongyi, am going to seize your territory for myself!”

Transformed into a gigantic Demon Ape, Tu Hongyi roared, his bell-sized eyes brimming with killing intent.

“Good, good, good. Since you’re looking for death, I’ll grant your wish!”

The One-Horned Azure Bull bellowed, and its body also swelled in the wind, growing to the size of a house. The terrifying, ferocious aura on its body surged out wildly.

Standing between these two Monster Beasts, the pressure on Lin Kuang was immense.

After all, the strength of these two Monster Beasts was far too terrifying. Their power had completely reached the very Peak of the Contending Realm, and it was very likely that one of their feet had already stepped into the Demi-God Realm!

Of course, this was only Lin Kuang’s guess, but the strength of these two great Monster Beasts was indeed exceedingly frightening.

“One-Horned Azure Bull, you think you can kill me? You really don’t know life from death!”

Tu Hongyi roared.

His roar made the entire valley tremble, and all the Monster Beasts within a hundred-mile radius prostrated themselves on the ground.

The intense pressure made those weaker Monster Beasts shiver uncontrollably, without the slightest ability to resist.

For Monster Beasts followed the jungle Law, where the strong were revered. In this regard, they were even more extreme than humans.

As long as it was a higher-ranked Monster Beast, they wouldn’t dare resist at all, because this notion had already been deeply branded into their minds.
