[Demon Beast: Mountain Bull
Race: Demon
Affinity: Earth
Rank: 2( peak)
Battle Power: 1600

[ Demonic Iron Skin: The Mountain Bull channels demonic energy into its body, transforming its skin as hard as iron. Even a Spirit Core Warrior would find it difficult to damage on it body.]
[ Rage: After using the Rage skill, the Mountain Bull's strength doubles, increasing its power by one rank. However, the skill has a side effect: once activated, it causes the user's mind to become violent and unstable. ]
Lu Shen quickly hid behind a big tree, he than watch the Mountain Bull in the grassland gassing the grass. The demon beast had tough, rock like skin that is bully cover in black furs but its two horn were full brown as earth.
Lu Shen swiftly jumped onto a tree branch, circulating his spiritual energy within his body as he activated his bloodline skill.
"Wood Spear"
Wooden spears float around Lu Shen's palm as he throws them at the Mountain Bull.
Swish, Swish!
Wood spear hits the body of the Mountain Bull directly,
bang
But before the three wooden spears could pierce its body, the Mountain Bull activated its skill, Demonic Iron Skin. Demonic energy quickly enveloped its back fur, turning it into a thick layer of dark black hide.
ding
ding
ding
The wood spear, unable to pierce the Mountain Bull's body, falls to the ground in two pieces.
Angered by the sudden attack, Mountain Bull looked around and spotted Lu Shen on a tree branch. Then the Mountain Bull charged at Lu Shen in a rage, its eyes glowing red with fury.
boom!
The Mountain Bull's charge collided with the tree where Lu Shen had been, the impact splitting the thick tree trunk in half.
Lu Shen jumps from the tree to dodge, he landed on a rock about 2 feet tall. However, the Mountain Bull rushes toward him again.
Boom!
Again, the Mountain Bull shatters the 2 foot tall rock as if it were paper. Lu Shen dodges its attack once more and begins to plan how to defeat this angry Rock Bull.
"damn it, peak stage rank 2 beast it not easy to kill"
what should i do?
"Um, yes, its weakness..."
"its eyes. Yes That's it" Lu Shen decided,
He can only think of the Mountain Bull's weakness as it eyes him. Its Demonic Iron Skin skill covers every part of its body but hardly covers its eyes.
Even though the Mountain Bull shattered the 2 foot rock into pieces, the impact made it difficult for the bull to balance, causing Mountain Bull to charge in random directions.
Mountain Bull after attack it radown place for sometime, it finally slowed down. Lu Shen knew this was the only chance he could get, so he jumped onto the Mountain bull's back.
"wood spear"
He tightened his grip on the wooden spear and aimed it at the bull's left eye.
"RRRROOOAAAARRR!" The Mountain bull roared in agony, feeling pain in its left eye, and it shook its body, trying to throw Lu Shen off.
The beast violently trembled, its massive head shaking wildly to dislodge the spear. Lu Shen bounced back from the bull's head to its back, but he gritted his teeth and grabbed onto its fur tightly to avoid being thrown off.
The mountain bull was unable to throw Lu Shen off its back. In its anger, it activated its rage skill. However, even before using the skill, it was already in a rage stage and so violent thoughts appeared in its mind, so the bull lost all rationality. It began banging its head against the rocks repeatedly, desperately trying to shake Lu Shen off.
boom boom!
"Shit, it's gone mad. I need hold on"
Lu Shen tightly gripped the Mountain Bull's fur tightly once again.
"Puff!"
Lu Shen coughed up blood after being hit by some shattered rock.
Even after getting wounded by the rocks, his hand tightly gripped on the Mountain Bull's fur. Lu Shen slowly advanced from the bull's back to its horn and eventually reached its left eye. Gathering all his strength, he punched forcefully at the bull's left eye.
bang bang!
"Roar!"
the Mountain Bull began to cry out in pain, it banging its head on trees and rocks in a frenzy. As the bull move violently, Lu Shen endured scratches and wounds from the tree branches and rocks.
Despite his injuries increasing all over his body, Lu Shen clung to the bull's neck tightly and continued to punch rock bull left eye.
bang bang
The Mountain Bull, in its madness, continued to bang its head against solid rocks and trees while Lu Shen continues on punching at its left eye to kill it fast.
Over time, both sustained injuries from the intense battle, but Lu Shen's mastery of the Golden Body technique provided him with an advantage, preventing serious injuries.
On the other hand, the Rock Bull's iron skin did not protect its eyes, gradually it slowed down due to exhaustion and the intense pain it endured from Lu Shen's relentless attacks on its left eye.
bang bang.....
Finally, after punching relentlessly at the Mountain Bull's left eye until the condition showed its brains from the normal eyes, the Mountain Bull crashed to the ground, It took its last breath.
bang!
Lu Shen began to breathe heavily from the intense battle, he nearly exhausted his strength fighting the Mountain Bull. He climbed off the bull's back and took a moment to catch his breath.
"That was close... but I did it"
"huff"
"huff"
Seeing no other demon beasts approaching, Lu Shen decided to take a short rest.
Ten minutes later...
"Now, time for Enlightenment Fruit"
Lu Shen headed towards the place where the Enlightenment Tree was. Despite their fierce battle, not even a scratch had on the tree.
swish
Lu Shen jumped at the Enlightenment Tree and began to collect Enlightenment Fruits.
From the Enlightenment Tree, Lu Shen gathered four fruits. It seemed the information from the Void Watch was true, after spiritual treasures are born, powerful demon beasts seem to guard them. The Mountain Bull must be the guardian of the Enlightenment Fruit, it must have recently consumed one, which explained why the Mountain Bull was so powerful.
After collecting all the Enlightenment Fruits, Lu Shen decided to devour the Mountain Bull to increase his strength. His first battle in the inner region of the low level area was very hard and he knew future battles would only become tougher. Than, he walked towards the corpse of the Mountain Bull.
"Devour"
Pure energy began to flow inside Lu Shen, he circulated those pure energy to refine last drop of awakened bloodline left in his blood veins and finally, he stored that refined bloodline in his lower dantian.
Well, that the actual process for refinement realm was that when individuals Awakened their bloodline. Refinement realm warriors refinmented their awakened bloodline that are speared in warriors blood veins, than warriors by using spiritual energy they refined those unrefined bloodline and finally they store it in their lower dantian.
After warriors refines last drop of those unrefined bloodline, Than they advance into the Integration Realm. After advancing to integration realm, warriors integrate those refined bloodline in their body.
This is why it is called the Integration Realm.
However, in Lu Shen's case, after he stored his last refined bloodline, strange black brown energy suddenly began to form inside his body, and it started to devour his spiritual energy.
As that energy consumed Lu Shen's spiritual energy, he felt intense pain running through his body. He began to tremble and blood started to flow from his body.
"Ahh..."
Lu Shen screamed in agony from intense pain. He didn't understand the origin of this strange energy or why it was devouring his spiritual energy, which causing him such intense pain throughout his entire body.
"Ahh..."
"Lu Shen, what happened?" the spirit shouted, it was alarmed by Lu Shen's sudden scream without warning.
"Lu Shen..."
Spirit shouted again, but Lu Shen was in so much pain that he couldn't hear anything. He felt as if his entire body and soul were being torn apart slowly, and his skin was being peeled away layer by layer and rubbed salt into every exposed part of his body.
"Damn it, what happened to him?" the spirit confused by Lu Shen's condition.
"Shit, he's not responding. It's better to forcefully evacuate him from the Origin Land!" the spirit said urgently and quickly throwing Lu Shen out of the Origin Land.
Swish!
In real world
Slum area.
Lu Shen's house.
"Ahhhhh"
Suddenly, screams began to echo, but it was clear that nobody responded. Only the sounds of wild animal howls filled the air.
Spirit watched helplessly as Lu Shen bled from every part of his body, his body starting to have crack as his warrior realm degraded from its peak refinement realm to that of a normal human.
Looking at Lu Shen, the spirit felt unwilling, but after thinking it over, it had no choice but to focus on healing Lu Shen's wounds with its last remaining energy. It could only do this to try to restore Lu Shen's body from the brink of collapse.
"Lu Shen, after this, I won't be able to communicate with you until you find a treasure that can heal me. You'll sense these treasures if you're closely by them"
"This is all I can do. Fight with all your might against that strange energy in your body" the spirit continued, scanning Lu Shen's body. It could sense the strange energy devouring Lu Shen's spiritual energy and even attempting to consume his bloodline.
"Ahh.."
Lu Shen screamed in agony, but suddenly he gradual felt relief from the intense pain coursing through his entire body and origin bracelet spirit energy trying to stop that strange energy. He heard the Origin Bracelet spirit words.
"Thank you, old man. I'll do my best to heal you quickly" Lu Shen swore to fully heal the spirit of the Origin Bracelet as soon as possible.
However, before he could say more, the strange energy began to flow through his body once again.
"Damn it, not this time!"
Lu Shen shouted as he used his bloodline energy to form his dual headed serpent image inside his body and forcefully rushed towards that strange energy.
boom!
Lu Shen bloodline energy and the strange energy collided, both trying for supremacy within Lu Shen, the strange energy also transformed into a giant snake with two wings on its body.
"hisss"
It hissed at Lu Shen's bloodline dual headed serpent and charged towards it, biting at the tail of the dual headed serpent.
"hisss"
Lu Shen's dual headed serpent cried out in pain. Its two heads retaliated by biting at the giant snake wings, while their tails began to entwine and fight each other.
boom boom.
Finally, with the dual headed serpent having the advantage due to Lu Shen supplying it with pure spiritual energy from the origin bracelet spirit, the dual headed serpent was able to tear the giant snake's body into two pieces.
Slowly, the strange energy's giant snake with wings began to disappear, transforming into pure spiritual energy.
Boom boom!
Pure spiritual energy began to flow inside Lu Shen's body, and bit by bit, his warrior realm began to return.
Early refinement realm
Middle refinement realm
Late refinement realm
Peak refinement realm
Finally, he breakthrough to new realm.
boom!
Lu Shen finally breakthrough to Integration Realm warrior and enter into true warrior path.
"Finally" Lu Shen sighed in relief before recalling his bloodline in his dantian and storing it in his lower dantian.
The spirit, seeing Lu Shen's body returning to its normal state and even improving his realm, it sighed in relief.
"Lu Shen, you can go to the Origin Land once every day as always.'"
Lu Shen nodded before losing consciousness from the previous deadly event.
But the spirit continued, "Maybe this can be our last meeting before you go to the true world, hai..."
The spirit sighed deeply before going to sleep, thinking it would not talk with Lu Shen again, as it believed the treasures that could heal would not be found on Nexus Planet.
If Lu Shen were awake, he would be shocked to hear what the origin bracelet had just said.
What true world?
then, what is the Nexus Planet?
