The Giant Bull was about to pursue its chase, ready to devour the three victims of vigorous Qi and Blood when it suddenly sensed something. Its eyes, now vigilant, looked up at the sky, where a black silhouette was descending!
"Hmm? They haven’t followed?"
The burly man and his two companions all felt that for some unknown reason, the Giant Bull was not chasing after them, but they did not dare to hesitate. They used all their strength to escape, covering dozens of miles in a short period of time.
"Roar!"
Even tens of miles away, they could hear a soul-shaking roar, coming from the Giant Bull!
"Did that Alien Beast encounter some enemy? It’s showing off its power!"
"Stop being nosy! Let’s just get as far away as possible, this is not something we can intervene in!"
All three men were filled with inexplicable horror, as the Giant Bull, huge as a small mountain, was definitely one of the legendary Alien Beasts; it had refrained from pursuing them because it had felt the threat of a powerful enemy!
Although their curiosity was piqued, they knew that being too curious could cost them their lives!
At this moment, in the barren hills, the Giant Bull was staring intently at a young man in black not far away, its eyes flickering with both wariness and ferocity.
The newcomer was naturally Su Changkong.
"This big yellow bull has grown to such an extent that it is even more powerful than a common Martial Artist of the Three Flowers Realm and not inferior to the Black Scale Huge Lizard I hunted before."
As Su Changkong looked at the Giant Bull before him, he couldn’t help but sigh. In just a year and a half, it had grown so much, a testament to the talent and advantage of Alien Beasts – with sufficient resources, they could quickly grow to their peak.
"Moo!"
The fur on the Giant Bull bristled as it issued a thunderous roar at Su Changkong. A hurricane blew through the forest, shaking the trees and trembling the rocks, full of threatening intent.
This Giant Bull knew the terror of the human before it – it was once just an ordinary yellow bull, and it was this human who had transformed it, allowing it to undergo rebirth and grow to what it was now.
But the Giant Bull had not a small degree of intelligence. It had seen many of its kin fattened up only to be slaughtered afterward. And now, this human was raising it for the same reason – to fatten it up before killing it.
And this time, the human’s arrival probably meant he was ready to make a move!
The Giant Bull’s threatening roars were meant to make Su Changkong leave, but Su Changkong remained unmoved, which made the ferocity in the bull’s eyes almost condense into reality. Now powerful, it wanted to tear Su Changkong into pieces and devour him, to enjoy absolute freedom!
"Boom!"
With a movement of its four hooves, the Giant Bull’s massive body, large as a small mountain, displayed an unexpected agility, leaving a trail of afterimages as it whipped up wild winds and charged crazily toward Su Changkong, causing the earth to shake with every step.
"Swoosh!"
Su Changkong stood still, a glint of cold light flashed and disappeared between his eyebrows, leaving behind a black fissure that spread forward.
"Puff!"
A long saber, as if alive, circled around the Giant Bull’s neck.
"Boom!"
The next instant, the Giant Bull ran a distance before a huge bull’s head fell from its neck. Despite its steel-like musculature and the toughness of its Alien Beast body, it was as fragile as paper in front of Su Changkong’s Blade Soul.
Carried by inertia, the Giant Bull’s mountainous body collapsed softly to the ground, kicking up a large amount of dust.
The Blade Soul whirled smoothly, blood-free, and retracted back into Su Changkong’s Sea of Consciousness. Since going through the Transforming Dragon Gate, Su Changkong’s Blade Soul had seen significant improvement over this period of time!
Su Changkong saw in the Giant Bull’s eyes a mixture of unwillingness and sadness. Born an ordinary bull, it was raised by people and destined to be killed and become someone else’s food. Even now, being hundreds or thousands of times stronger than before, it still couldn’t change its fate.
"Are we also just food raised by higher-dimensional beings, awaiting the time when they come to harvest and feast upon us?"
Su Changkong couldn’t help but feel a sense of sorrow, his thoughts wandering.
"The law of the jungle! To not be meat in the mouths of others, one must become a true powerhouse!"
Su Changkong composed himself, focusing on strengthening his power, which was what he needed to do at the moment.
"Time to eat!"
Su Changkong licked his lips; it had been several years since he last ate Alien Beast meat!
Su Changkong began eating the Alien Beast meat directly. His Blade Soul emerged from his Sea of Consciousness, dissecting and cleaning the Giant Bull before he started munching on it. His Giant Whale Technique operated rapidly to digest his meal.
Alien Beast meat was poison to an average Martial Artist, overly nourishing, but with Su Changkong’s current physique, consuming it posed no burden to him.
"Rumble!"
Within Su Changkong’s abdomen, the Giant Whale True Qi operated as if it were a bottomless pit, crushing and digesting the consumed Alien Beast meat, transforming it into pure energy that Su Changkong’s body absorbed. His blood flowed vigorously, his muscles and bones became stronger, his skin took on a slight reddish hue, radiating a scorching heat.
"Refreshing!"
Su Changkong felt an exhilarating sense of enjoyment.
The meat of the Alien Beast was not tasty, in fact, it was difficult to eat, tougher than steel, and would be too much for the average person to handle. But Su Changkong could feel the formidable energy within the meat. As it merged into his body and turned into droplets of gem-like red True Blood, his Giant Whale True Qi was also undergoing a rapid metamorphosis.
Su Changkong was like a hungry whale that had gone a long time without food, now finally devouring voraciously, tapping into his potential, and allowing his body to grow rapidly. The taste was naturally secondary!
