King of Creation-Chapter 640 - 632: The Stranger

In the pitch-black night sky, a demon beast with dragon horns and a wingspan stretching over a hundred yards silently glided toward Wang Xiaomao, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, who was attentively watching the battlefield from high above.

Deadly however, the usually vigilant Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten had no inkling of the danger approaching from behind, as if nothing was behind it at all.

Behind it, the Black-Winged Dragon Hawk’s talons were already raised in a hunting stance.

"Kitten, be careful!"

In that instant, Ye Zhen roared at the top of his lungs with all the speed he could muster. In his urgency, Ye Zhen even forgot that he could directly command Kitten to flee through Divine Soul Sensing.

But the issue was, he had realized it too late.

Amid his exclamation, Kitten abruptly turned its head, revealing a look of utter terror, but by then, the Black-Winged Dragon Hawk’s talons had already lightning-fast clawed toward the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten’s head.

At that moment, Ye Zhen felt as if his heart was being gripped, his breathing nearly stopped, overwhelmed by a breath-stopping pain.

The Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten was his companion who had grown up alongside him.

Ye Zhen wanted to save him, but the situation at that time was indescribable; the Black-Winged Dragon Hawk’s speed was so fast that just as a flicker of Thunder Light emerged in Ye Zhen’s palm, the terrifying talons had already reached the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten’s forehead.

It was said that the Black-Winged Dragon Hawk possessed the bloodline of an Ancient Winged Dragon, its flight speed was exceptionally fast, and it was highly skilled in stealth attacks. Among demon beasts of the same level, none could match its speed, not to mention that the Black-Winged Dragon Hawk was a Heavenly Level High-Grade demon beast, and the difference in cultivation between it and the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten was like heaven and earth.

"No!"

Ye Zhen let out a furious roar, his eyes nearly splitting, and the aura of his Spiritual Power instantly flared to an intense extreme.

But no matter how loud he roared, the Black-Winged Dragon Hawk’s talons still clawed at the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten’s forehead, and even Kitten let out a desperate roar.

Just as Ye Zhen and the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten were in despair, a streak of cyan light suddenly exploded from the tail of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten.

That trace of cyan light, like a star in the night sky, seemed ordinary, but the Black-Winged Dragon Hawk, sensing the aura of this cyan light from such a close distance, couldn’t help but shiver tremendously.

Indeed, the body of the Heavenly Level High-Grade terrifying demon beast involuntarily started to tremble, even its gaze turned into one of immense fear, as if it had seen something terribly frightening.

The next moment, just as it was about to tear open the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten’s forehead and relish the taste of delicious brain matter, the Black Eagle Dragon Hawk suddenly let out a sharp and fearful screech, abandoning the meal within its grasp.

With a mighty flap of its great wings, it vanished instantly, leaving only that sharp and fearful screech echoing between heaven and earth.

Ye Zhen was suddenly stunned!

The Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten also froze on the spot.

In the next instant, an indescribable joy surged in Ye Zhen’s heart, but just as this feeling emerged, a stench of blood poured down on him like a waterfall, and a tongue with a transparent hole fiercely struck Ye Zhen, sending him flying like a cannonball.

Crack, crack!

The Purple Jade Spirit Armor emitted a teeth-grinding shattering sound, but eventually, under Ye Zhen’s frantic flurry of Spiritual Power, it gradually stabilized.

Roar!

The Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten let out an angry roar, recklessly rushing towards the frog tongue that had blasted towards Ye Zhen’s back.

"Kitten, come back!"

Boom, boom!

Mid-shout, a Heavenly Thunder of Fright fiercely struck the Green-Eyed Poisonous Frog that had attacked Ye Zhen, causing its body to tremble like a sieve.

Having come to this point in the battle, as long as no unexpected events arose, it was merely a matter of time before Ye Zhen would secure his victory.

Dozens of breaths later, Ye Zhen effortlessly killed the Green-Eyed Poisonous Frog, whose tongue had been pierced with a large hole, and then easily disposed of two other Green-Eyed Poisonous Frogs, which had been fighting each other to the brink of death.

Monster beasts remain monster beasts. In this Trial Secret Realm, due to some reason, their Spirit Wisdom was greatly enhanced, and their blood-thirsty and belligerent nature was suppressed, yet nature is invariably nature, and the slightest provocation could cause them to revert to their old ways.

Ye Zhen’s Phantom Soul Divine Eye controlled only one of the Green-Eyed Poisonous Frogs, but the other, fighting to the end, also went into a ferocious frenzy.

This served well to prove this point.

"Kitten!"

After finishing off the Green-Eyed Poisonous Frogs here, Ye Zhen’s expression suddenly relaxed, his eyes filled with relief and tension as he looked at the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, feeling as if he had survived a great calamity.

Just like always, the Cloud Winged Tian King Kitten shrank its body and was affectionately held in Ye Zhen’s arms. However, Ye Zhen keenly noticed that its gaze seemed desolate, even somewhat self-blaming.

Whether it was at the start of the battle when Ye Zhen asked it to leave or during the battle when it was powerless to resist danger, all resulted in the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten feeling an indescribable sense of powerlessness and even a sense of dragging its feet, sinking its mood to rock-bottom depths.

Compared to these Heavenly Level Mid-Grade and even Heavenly Level High-Grade demon beasts, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, thanks to Caiyi and Ye Zhen’s deliberate nurturing in its early years, had a Spirit Wisdom that far surpassed them, making such emotions quite normal.

"Kitten, it’s not your fault!" Ye Zhen gently stroked the forehead of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, consoling it, "This is limited by your Innate Bloodline, it’s what that thieving heaven decided when you were born!

Just like me in the beginning, according to my Innate Bloodline, maybe I wouldn’t have even reached the Spirit Transformation Realm, yet now, I have reached the late-stage of the Soul Sea Realm, just one step away from the threshold of the Vein Forging Realm.

And you, relying on your own strength, succeeded in breaking through from the Middle-grade Earth Level to become an Upper-grade Earth Level Cloud Winged Tiger King!

What we need to do now is to break through the limits imposed by this old heaven once again, break through and break through again, and let that old heaven cry!"

"Roar!"

As if responding to Ye Zhen, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten let out a deep tiger roar, its tail, shortened due to size, vigorously exploding with power.

Regaining confidence, the kitten also allowed Ye Zhen to breathe a sigh of relief, though, with the breath, his mood became somewhat heavy.

How could he help the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten break through its grade?

That day, Elder Yangh Yiguan of the Beast Taming Sect had mentioned that the kitten, by devouring the Innate Bloodline of a certain high-level Monster Beast, could advance by merging with the devoured Innate Bloodline of the high-level Monster Beast.

The time it would take to merge mainly depended on the rank of the Innate Bloodline of the high-level Monster Beast devoured; the higher the rank, the slower the merge.

Even for devouring the bloodline of a high-level Monster Beast of Heavenly Level High Grade, one would need one or two hundred years to merge, let alone, Ye Zhen knew very well, which Monster Beast’s bloodline the kitten had devoured.

A Black Dragon!

The legendary Black Dragon Bloodline!

Ye Zhen didn’t even know what grade the Black Dragon Bloodline was.

How could he help the kitten merge and break through?

The only hope, the Five Elements Melt Blood Pill, was lost.

Ye Zhen’s heavy mood lasted only a moment before it turned into immense vigilance.

The next instant, with a thought, Ye Zhen entered the realm of Sword Heart Enlightenment, and the long-unused Heart Sutra of Extinction also started operating, and within a thousand meters around him, every blade of grass and every piece of wood entered the range of Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Sensing.

Even an ant hundreds of meters away, dissolved by the poison blood of a Green-Eyed Poisonous Frog, and a blade of green grass gently shaking, couldn’t escape Ye Zhen’s Spirit Perception at this moment.

Then, all of Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Power was devoted to the kitten, scanning inch by inch over its body, particularly focusing on the tail.

Indeed, the burst of blue radiance that had appeared just now had saved the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten’s life, but Ye Zhen could not tolerate such a powerful unknown force lingering by his side.

Even if the entity was benevolent, Ye Zhen had to find it.

After all, such power was terrifying. Just a whiff of its presence had frightened a Black Eagle Dragon Hawk away. Just how astounding was its strength?

As for what to do after finding it, Ye Zhen hadn’t yet thought that far. Such a terrifying entity, if it had intended to kill Ye Zhen, it would have acted long ago.

A half-quarter hour later, Ye Zhen felt helpless.

Even though he had driven his Divine Soul Power to its utmost limit, after passing over the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten’s body four or five times, he still hadn’t found the slightest trace of that strand of blue radiance.

In this situation, there were only two possibilities.

One possibility was that after saving the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, it had left. The other possibility, which Ye Zhen believed more, was that with his strength, he was yet unable to detect this terrifying existence.

Silence ensued for a few moments before Ye Zhen suddenly spoke out, "I don’t know who you are, nor do I know what purpose you have hiding by my side, what you intend to do! But still, I must say thank you, whether you hear it or not.

You saved the kitten, which is equivalent to saving me; it’s my companion that has grown up with me!"

Then, silence followed.

After waiting for a few moments, still seeing no signs of any abnormality, Ye Zhen grew a bit disappointed.

In fact, Ye Zhen had wanted to say something else, but facing an existence that he couldn’t even detect a breath from, any other words were superfluous.

From now on, all he could do was take one step at a time, at least ’it’ bore no malice.

The blood of the Green-Eyed Poisonous Frog was extremely foul-smelling and permeated with poison. Although not many monsters favored such blood, for safety’s sake, Ye Zhen quickly proceeded to deal with the bodies of the three Green-Eyed Poisonous Frogs.

Three green glistening poison pills were easily found, but the trial token that could be clearly sensed before, caused Ye Zhen great pain to locate.

Based on Spirit Perception, it seemed that the trial token was hidden in the belly of one of the Green-Eyed Poisonous Frogs. Thinking of the mountain-like flesh body, spilling poison, Ye Zhen felt a shiver in his scalp.

Just as Ye Zhen was earnestly searching for the trial token, far in the depths of the Secret Realm, within a massive palace, an elder dressed in purple armor suddenly opened his eyes.

"Xuan Hu, a peculiar guest has arrived in the Trial Secret Realm. Arrange for someone to find him; I think I would like to meet him!"

A male Martial Artist of immense stature, each muscle seemingly bursting with explosive power, abruptly appeared at the foot of the grand hall’s steps, his expression somewhat astonished.

"Ancestor, this peculiar guest, where is he?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
