Immortal Refiner

Crossing a path composed of golden leaves would burden one with a weight of ten thousand jun, making each step nearly impossible.

Crossing two paths would amplify this burden exponentially, easily crushing even a late third-tier demon race.

Upon hearing this, Li Qing frowned slightly.

He had originally planned to seize all three Myriad Beasts Spirit Fruits single-handedly, while also securing a tremendous fortuitous opportunity for Fan Tong and Ninth Insect.

However, the unique rules governing the acquisition of the Myriad Beasts Spirit Fruits forced him to abandon this plan.

It made sense, after all. Without such restrictions, powerful demon races could monopolize all the Sacred Fruits produced by the Myriad Beasts Spirit Tree.

Such an outcome would undoubtedly contradict the intentions of the great demon race who had established this secret realm.

While strength reigned supreme within the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm, there still had to be some hope left for other demon races.

After all, each demon could only consume one Sacred Fruit in their lifetime!

”Sigh, it seems I’ll have to adjust my plans slightly,” Li Qing sighed, then lowered his gaze to the Heavenly Dog in his hand. ”If you want to live, hand over all your beast ancestor tokens.”

Upon hearing this, the snow-white Heavenly Dog immediately showed a hint of sorrow.

But it had no choice. Li Qing held its life in his hands, and disobedience would likely mean death.

”Master, this is the only beast ancestor token I have left,” the Heavenly Dog Clan demon beast said, producing a white jade-like bone token from its body.

”Only one? You’d better understand the consequences of deceiving me!” Li Qing said coldly.

The Heavenly Dog Clan demon beast frowned and replied, ”Great human master, I wouldn’t dare deceive you. Before coming here, I used two beast ancestor tokens to open a tomb mansion inheritance. This token was scavenged from within the tomb mansion itself. After all, not everyone is as powerful as you, qualified to ascend Beast King Mountain. Such beings are few and far between.”

Hearing this, Li Qing slowly released the Heavenly Dog Clan demon beast, allowing it to flee.

With this token, he now possessed nine beast ancestor tokens, bringing him closer to securing two spots to ascend Beast King Mountain and claim its inheritance.

”Six more to go... No need to rush for now. Let’s focus on competing for the Myriad Beasts Spirit Fruit first.”

With that, Li Qing patted his spirit beast pouch and released Fan Tong from within.

”Awoo!”

After emerging from the Tempering Life Spirit Pool, Fan Tong’s strength had increased dramatically, his aura becoming even more ferocious and sharp.

Li Qing immediately briefed him on the situation, then said gravely, ”I’m confident I can cross one path made of golden leaves, but I’m not sure I can cross two to reach the third Spirit Fruit.”

”Ninth Insect is seriously injured and recovering. Do you want to personally claim a Myriad Beasts Spirit Fruit?”

Fan Tong’s response was immediate. He threw back his head and roared, then exclaimed excitedly, ”Brother, I’ve been itching to face off against the demon realm’s warriors! This is the perfect opportunity!”

Li Qing wasn’t surprised by this reaction. He knew this combative brute would agree.

However, the other contenders were formidable. Defeating them would be no easy task for Fan Tong.

But as the saying goes, ”A sharp sword is forged through grinding.” Li Qing still had faith in Fan Tong.

This companion, whom he had raised since childhood, wasn’t some pampered house cat. He was a true, peerless ferocious tiger!

With the decision made, Li Qing and Fan Tong stood quietly beneath the Golden Tree, patiently awaiting the appearance of the Sacred Fruit.

During this time, other powerful demon races gradually arrived.

Most of the faces were familiar, ones Li Qing had seen before at the Tempering Life Spirit Pool.

Fortunately, the Myriad Beasts Spirit Tree was enormous, and the area at its base was even more expansive, allowing everyone to spread out.

When the demons who had emerged from the Tempering Life Spirit Pool saw Li Qing, a flicker of apprehension involuntarily appeared in their eyes.

This scene only reinforced the other demons’ perception of the human’s formidable power.

Just then, a demonic gale swept through, stirring the scattered golden leaves on the ground and causing Li Qing’s Daoist robes to flutter violently.

”Hmph, get out of my way, you’re blocking my path!”

A crimson crocodile with three heads charged forward, its teeth razor-sharp and terrifying.

The three-headed profound crocodile!

A top-tier Heavenly Prodigy of the Crocodile Clan, previously ranked alongside Jin Lie and Bai Xing as a formidable force. Its combat prowess was not to be underestimated.

Unfortunately, due to delayed intelligence, it had missed the fortuitous opportunity at the Tempering Life Spirit Pool, preventing its strength from undergoing a significant breakthrough.

Unwilling to accept this setback, it naturally wouldn’t miss the chance to obtain the Myriad Beasts Spirit Fruit.

The three-headed profound crocodile bulldozed its way through the crowd, the weaker demons scattering in terror to avoid its path.

Li Qing, however, was not among those who would yield. He stood calmly in the best position, showing no intention of moving aside.

Boom!

The three-headed profound crocodile halted abruptly, its eyes narrowing as it glared at Li Qing. In a deep, rumbling voice, it said, ”So you’re the human cultivator who killed Jin Lie?”

”Hmph, you look utterly unremarkable.”

Before Li Qing could react, Fan Tong, the gluttonous tiger demon, couldn’t contain himself any longer.

He slowly rose to his feet, his ferocious aura spreading outward, ready for a great war.

Aowwwrr!

Fan Tong stared intently at the three-headed profound crocodile, growling incessantly, making no attempt to conceal his intense hostility.

”A mere mid-third-tier tiger demon dares to act so arrogantly!” all three heads of the profound crocodile spoke simultaneously.

”Then let’s fight!” Fan Tong roared, its aura growing even more ferocious.

If Li Qing hadn’t been holding it back with one hand, Fan Tong would have already charged forward.

Li Qing glanced calmly at the three-headed profound crocodile before speaking in a composed tone, ”I’ll give you two choices: hand over all your beast ancestor tokens, or die.”

The moment these words left his lips, absolute silence descended upon the base of the Golden Tree. The other demon race and demon beasts observing the scene fell as silent as cicadas in winter.

This human is truly domineering!

The three-headed profound crocodile was no weakling to be trifled with, yet Li Qing had demanded it surrender all its beast ancestor tokens, threatening death for non-compliance.

But upon reflection, this human had personally slain Jin Lie. Given his demonstrated power and authority, his words carried no sense of incongruity.
