The bloodstains on his white clothes were from the low-level Spirit Beasts Mu Yuan had killed.
A few kilometers away, several Blood Pig Tigers lay in pools of blood. What was most shocking was that they had all been beheaded with a single sword strike.
Recalling the moment he'd slain the Blood Pig Tigers with a single sword, Mu Yuan felt a little dissatisfied.
It was said that these Blood Pig Tigers possessed the strength of the Spirit Movement Realm's middle stage. However, they were tough-skinned and thick-fleshed, able to withstand a full blow from someone in the late stage of the Spirit Movement Realm. Unfortunately, they couldn't withstand his single sword strike.
Although my cultivation is currently at the middle stage of the Spirit Movement Realm, I'm not afraid of experts at the peak of the Spirit Movement Realm. Perhaps only Spirit Wheel Realm experts could make me feel some pressure.
Mu Yuan muttered to himself.
Suddenly.
Feeling a gust of wind behind him, Mu Yuan turned around sharply and saw a giant white ape a few hundred meters away, opening its blood-red mouth and snapping at him.
"A mid-level Spirit Beast, the White Spirit Ape King!"
Mu Yuan's body flickered, and he jumped, landing on another large tree, dodging the attempted bite.
But the blood-red mouth bit down on the tree he had been standing on.
The tree immediately splintered, breaking apart like tofu under the bite.
Judging by this, if it had bitten him, he would surely have been crushed to pieces.
"So this is a mid-level Spirit Beast, comparable to the Spirit Wheel Realm? Truly formidable!"
Mu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, while simultaneously feeling a sense of despair: why would a mid-level Spirit Beast appear on the outer edges of the Northern Spirit Wilderness?
Mid-level Spirit Beasts were far superior to low-level ones in both speed and strength.
With Mu Yuan's current cultivation, he could only strike up to three hundred steps away.
The White Spirit Ape King, on the other hand, could attack directly from five hundred steps away with a mere vibration of its spiritual power. It was terrifying.
"Hmm?"
The White Spirit Ape King stared at Mu Yuan, seemingly surprised that he had dodged the attack. However, a cruel smile quickly spread across its face, revealing its large, sharp fangs.
In the next instant, spiritual power erupted like a flood. The ape's arm swung out violently, and its huge body took flight, resembling a giant bird.
"How is that possible?"
This completely overturned Mu Yuan's understanding. By the time he reacted, the White Spirit Ape King had already descended upon him, its giant palm accompanied by a violent surge of air, swiping down towards him.
Suddenly, the air around him turned into a ferocious vortex, binding him with a hidden force. He felt like a small boat caught in a storm, unable to break free.
Disaster was about to strike.
With his spiritual power, he was completely immobilized by the White Spirit Ape's attack, demonstrating the ape's terrifying strength.
"Kill!"
Faced with such pressure, Mu Yuan had no choice but to fight.
The power of three Dragon-Elephant Phantoms, along with the spiritual power of his Divine Vein, was also unleashed by Mu Yuan.
Golden spiritual power coursed through his hand, gripping the sword sheath.
"Drawing Sword Technique!"
Cutting Steel!
Swoosh!
A golden sword影 flashed like lightning, as if tearing through the sky.
The next second, with a crack, the sword guard and the scabbard connected. The White Spirit Ape King's massive body collapsed with a crash, scattering a large pile of dead branches and leaves!
Blood flowed out, and its breath was clearly extinguished.
One strike, instant kill!
Even Mu Yuan was stunned for a moment. Then, as if he understood something, he laughed.
"I didn't expect you to become the first test subject for the Drawing Sword Technique's Cutting Steel. It's your honor."
That's right, that sword strike just triggered Cutting Steel's ignore defense effect.
Mu Yuan's Drawing Sword Technique already possessed the power of the Spirit Wheel Realm, ignoring the White Spirit Ape King's spiritual power. It was only natural that he killed it.
After surviving such a close call, Mu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. That was really dangerous just now.
Luckily, he triggered Cutting Steel's effect.
Then, Mu Yuan leaped down and used his sword to cut open the White Spirit Ape King's head. At that moment, white light filled the air, and a fist-sized ball of light slowly rose.
Inside that ball of light, a miniature White Spirit Ape King could be vaguely seen, faintly emitting violent fluctuations of spiritual power.
This was the Spirit Beast Essence.
Mu Yuan put away the Spirit Beast Essence, climbed up a large tree, and jumped deeper. He activated his hearing and vision to their fullest extent.
Various sounds transmitted into his mind, almost unfolding a three-dimensional image.
"Hmm? Such a strong smell of blood? There are dozens of Spirit Beasts nearby!"
Mu Yuan leapt from the tree, charging forward with great force.
He finally reached an open area within the forest.
He saw over a dozen fiery red giant wolves devouring several corpses.
Those corpses were clearly human experts, and weapons were scattered nearby.
Apparently, it was an adventure team that had entered the Northern Spirit Wilderness for exploration.
Unfortunately, they had fallen victim to the Fire Spirit Wolves.
The Fire Spirit Wolf, though not as powerful as the White Spirit Ape King, was still quite famous among the late-stage low-level Spirit Beasts.
Unlike the White Spirit Ape King, they didn't act alone. They preferred to travel in organized packs, moving through the forest with speed and precision. Adult Fire Spirit Wolves could reach the peak of the Spirit Movement Realm.
For adventurers, encountering Fire Spirit Wolves was often more troublesome than the White Spirit Ape King.
If you ran into a pack of Fire Spirit Wolves in the forest, it was the beginning of a tragedy.
Feeling Mu Yuan's gaze, more than a dozen Fire Spirit Wolves, currently feasting on a corpse, twitched their ears and turned their heads.
Seeing Mu Yuan, the pack showed no signs of alarm. Instead, one particularly burly male wolf extended its front paw in a very human-like gesture, beckoning Mu Yuan closer.
Its beastly eyes also held a strong sense of disdain.
The situation was incredibly strange.
Imagine a wolf waving its paw at you, beckoning you over, with a human-like look of disdain on its face.
Spirit Beasts already possess the complete mentality of adults, they just can't speak human languages.
Mu Yuan was already used to this.
"Clang!"
Facing the Fire Spirit Wolf's contempt, Mu Yuan responded with the most direct method. His hand, gripping the longsword, pushed open the guard with his thumb, and a cold light shot out from the scabbard.
With a 'thud' sound, accompanied by the scattering of dry leaves behind him, Mu Yuan shot forward like an arrow released from a bowstring.
"Overestimating your own strength!"
The particularly burly male wolf's vertical crimson pupils were filled with disdain and mockery.
In its eyes, how strong could a mere human youth possibly be?
But it was wrong.
"Drawing Sword Technique!"
The sword in Mu Yuan's hand was already fully unsheathed, but because the speed was too fast, it hadn't noticed.
"Argh!"
At that moment, a piercing pain surged through its heart, and the Fire Spirit Wolf let out a shrill, miserable cry.
But soon, it couldn't cry anymore.
Because it was shocked to find that the other Fire Spirit Wolves' ugly beast faces showed a look of fear, with signs of retreat, obviously planning to escape.
It was only at this moment that it reacted, its beast eyes widening as it looked at its own headless body.
In just five breaths, all the Fire Spirit Wolves were decapitated, leaving a pile of corpses.
And a total of seventeen Spirit Beast Essences, from low-level, late-stage beasts, fell into Mu Yuan's hands.
"Spirit Beasts of this power level lack a certain challenge. I need to go deeper."
Of course, the White Spirit Ape King earlier was definitely an exception.
Thinking this, Mu Yuan took another step forward.
Just then.
Three figures appeared.
