A young teenager with violent long hair and dark abyssal pupils could be seen sitting on the ground. With his back laid against a huge tree. The teenager was none other than Fenix, who could be seen talking to himself.
"If I want to destroy the Jenit Clan. The only obstacle in my way is none other than the motherfucker, Dennis. Since he most probably is at the middle stage of the 3rd cultivation stage- Flesh Training Stage."
Fenix raised his brow, as one could see that he was lost in thought.
He was trying to simulate the best possible option. Though he was eager to destroy the Jenit Clan. Yet he knew he couldn't just blindly confront them head on, especially with such a huge threat such like Dennis.
He had to find a way to bring Dennis out of the picture, then that way nothing could stop him on his path of destruction and carnage.
"Tsk, This is quite fustrating." Fenix mused. Just as he was about to continue pondering on how to bring Dennis out of the picture.
He was suddenly alerted by the slight rustling of leaves. He immediately got up, quickly hiding behind a large tree.
Rustle, rustle. He kept his breathe under control. As he awaited the incoming person.
But he was surprised, when he saw that it wasn't a human being. But a demonic beast- a beast that feeds on flesh.
He squinted his brow. 'What is a demon beast doing here.'
Fenix mused, after all compared to wild beast who were simply unrestrained and just wild, yet they don't feed on flesh but fruits and plant leaves. Demon beasts' on the other hand have a huge knack for flesh and had quite the advantage at the early stages of Cultivation, due to having a very strong body and robust life energy.
The demon beast walked on Its four. As it glanced around. Seeing that no one was around. And due to the foul and stench of the blood, it wasn't able to sniff Fenix out.
After all demon beast are widely known for their great ability to easily sniff out preys, humans and so on.
Chomp!!! Chomp!!!
The demon beast feasted on both men with all Its maws. Using its claws and every equipment of its' body. It chomped down on the two dead men. Bite after bite.
Fenix looked at all this with a cold look on his face. He couldn't be bothered to care.
"But why does this demon beast seem so familiar, as though I have seen it somewhere." Fenix mused.
It suddenly clicked onto him, as to where he had seen it before. If he was correct, it was among the demon beast shown within the Clan's Demon bestiary- a book containing details about demon beasts.
And this demon beast just happened to be among the ones he remembered.
Why?
Because It has a fluid within Its body. By extracting this fluid from Its body. Should one drip it into a drink...even a 3rd stage practitioner will be poisoned, and lose at least fifty to sixty even possibly seventy percent of their power.
A cold smile spread across Fenix's face.
"Just when I was starting to get fustrated. The Heaven just happen to send this wonderful opportunity to me. How great this is."
Fenix muttered, as he had decided his next course of action.
Tiptoeing silently, he bent down slowly. Before he started moving round. Trying to make it behind the demon beast.
It wasn't that he was afraid of the peak second stage demon beast, even if demon beast were far stronger than human counterparts of the same cultivation stage. But he was very confident in his ability to easily handle the demon beast.
But...
When he could simply do it so easily and without any stress.
'Then why should I stress myself, engaging in some stupid battle of fist and paws.'
Fenix slowly but surely got behind the demon beast.
"Tiger's Roar Stance."
Fenix rapidly took the foundation stance, as though he had become a tiger ready to pounce out at any point in time.
Martial Art Form.
"Explosive Tiger Martial Art Form."
He had already comprehended both the stance and martial arts form beyond the perfection stage.
He had achieved the transcendent stage in each respectively, giving him that terrifying aura and pressure akin to that of a tiger.
As a roar suddenly escaped his lips.
Alarming the demon beast, who immediately turned back to face the threat.
Fenix seemed to have harnessed the raw power and ferocity of a tiger, due to having reach the transcendent state.
Surpassing the minor success of comprehension, major success and eventually surpassing the perfection state, directly acheiving the transcendent success state/stage.
He seemed to have become a ferocious tiger, as his hands coated in his True Origin essence seemed to have become a terrifying explosive of sort.
And then....Kaboooom!!!!
The punch struck against the demon beast with a terrifying explosive and forceful strike so terrifying that it felt as though the sound of bones and ribs being destroyed rang out.
As the demon beast, landed against the tree in the opposite direction with a terrifying smash.
Boom!!!!
Landing into the ground with a loud thud, as blood flowed out from its body continuously.
A wild smile spread across Fenix's face. As he dusted his hands.
"Hmm...That was actually quite easy." He muttered.
If someone had actually heard him say that.They would have surely cursed him.
"Easy for you to say."
After all, in the same stage wanting to escape from a demon beast of the same stage was in itself as hard as ascending the nine heavens, not to talk of killing a demon beast of the same stage with a single punch.
That was simple too terrific and absurd for most to believe.
But Fenix knew the only reason he could accomplish such a feat.
Was first: Due to the unknown quality of his True Origin essence compared to the true essence of others. Secondly, his comprehension of both the martial arts form and foundation stance technique which he made used of had both attained the transcendent stage; a stage whereby one actions and movements becomes the same as the wild animal itself. Thoroughly imbuing Its essence.
"Huff." Fenix exhaled slightly.
Walking over to the demon beast. He placed his hands on the forehead of the demon beast. As a white colorless mist suddenly rushed out from the body of the demon beast, before being immediately absorbed by Fenix, who let out a slight groan as a result.
A smile spread on his face after he finished making use of, Origin Devouring.
He could feel his strength had increased a bit, and most importantly.
His blood seemed to have gained an increased level of life force.
Now, he was stronger than he was before. He coated his arm in Origin True essence as his hands pierced through the demon beast, before he dragged his hands down.
Forming a vertical line that was quite wide.
He suddenly took out a bottle from his pocket. Extracting the fluid from the organ into the reddish bottle.After he was done with that. He threw away the demon beast.
As he glanced at the fluid within the bottle as though he was looking at a priceless treasure.
And well...it indeed is a priceless treasure.
A treasure that could aid in sending a third stage- Flesh Training/strengthening stage practitioner to death's door.
If such a thing couldn't be called a treasure.
Then Fenix didn't know what could be called a treasure.
An unbridled laughter escaped his lips.
"Old man Dennis, cherish your live while you still can." He muttered, before he further added with a devilish grin.
"Cause am coming for it..."
