Luo Tian sat cross-legged on the wolf demon's back, gripping its fur tightly as they sped through the Tiandang Mountains at an incredible pace, heading toward the core area of the mountain.
"Hey, what does the divine beast look like?" Luo Tian asked while holding onto the wolf's fur.
"It... is the king of the beasts in Tiandang Mountain, a five-colored divine bull. It was born in the Transformation Realm, and it has now broken through to the fifth level of the Void Realm," the wolf demon answered cautiously.
"A Void Realm beast?" Luo Tian nodded slightly, showing some interest.
"Um... Senior, may I ask what you want with him?" The wolf demon asked tentatively.
"Oh, nothing major. I just need his help with a few things," Luo Tian replied.
Hearing this, the wolf demon sighed in relief. "That's good. But I must warn you, Senior, the Beast King is incredibly powerful, and his temper is extremely volatile! He also despises humans. When you meet him, you must be very careful."
Luo Tian nodded. "Don't worry. I'm a very friendly person."
Friendly?
The wolf demon couldn't help but roll his eyes internally. This guy almost smashed him to pieces with a single punch, and he dares to call himself "friendly"? But of course, the wolf demon didn't dare to say this out loud.
Although the Tiandang Mountains were vast, the wolf demon knew the roads well and was incredibly fast. In less than half a day, they reached the core area of Tiandang Mountain.
"Senior, we're approaching the Beast King's territory. Please be careful and don't provoke the Beast King. If he loses his temper, the consequences will be unimaginable!" The wolf demon spoke with clear apprehension.
"I understand!" Luo Tian nodded, signaling that he was aware.
They continued onward, and Luo Tian noticed that the scenery around them gradually changed. The vegetation became increasingly dense, and rare spiritual herbs and immortal fruits could be seen here and there, emitting their own spiritual energy.
"These are all treasures the Beast King has collected. You may look, but never pluck anything! There was once a Void Realm beast that stole the Beast King's immortal fruit tree and was immediately struck down by the Beast King!" the wolf demon warned.
Luo Tian was taken aback. "A Void Realm beast could still be killed by the Beast King?"
The wolf demon nodded. "Of course! Senior may not know this, but the bloodline of divine beasts is ridiculously powerful! In the same realm, a divine beast can easily defeat five ordinary beasts! The Beast King's bloodline may not be pure, but if it were a pure-blooded five-colored divine bull, its power would be even greater!"
Luo Tian silently agreed in his heart.
At that moment, a voice filled with authority came from ahead: "Who dares to intrude into my domain?"
The wolf demon trembled and quickly responded, "Beast King, it's me... I've brought a human senior to see you. We have a request."
"Human?" The voice immediately turned cold, full of anger.
The wolf demon's heart tightened, and he immediately prepared to flee at any moment.
"Hmph, come in," the voice soon returned to a neutral tone.
The wolf demon breathed a sigh of relief and continued carrying Luo Tian forward, finally arriving at the Beast King's resting place.
Luo Tian looked around and saw that there were flowing sacred springs, and immortal herbs grew abundantly. On the branches, two rows of bird demons were elegantly singing, and in the water plants, a huge white spiritual stone was emitting dense spiritual energy.
On top of the stone lay a massive five-colored divine bull, many times larger than a train, exhaling and inhaling spiritual energy, radiating an aura of immense power.
"Senior, this is our Beast King! Please be very careful with your words; not a single improper word should leave your mouth!" The wolf demon whispered.
He didn't care about Luo Tian, but his fear of the Beast King was genuine. After all, the Beast King's power was terrifying—if it were angered, he would likely be obliterated without a trace.
"Don't worry, I'll be careful," Luo Tian nodded and replied.
The five-colored divine bull slowly raised its head, a hint of surprise flickering in its eyes as it stared at Luo Tian. "A human from the Body Refining Realm? What business do you have with me?"
Luo Tian nodded. "Yes, that's right."
The five-colored divine bull snorted. "Speak."
The wolf demon's heart leaped in joy, thinking that the Beast King was in a surprisingly good mood today and didn't seem as volatile as usual.
"It seems like everything will be fine," the wolf demon thought to himself, sighing in relief.
"I want to take some of your blood," Luo Tian said.
…
A dead silence fell instantly.
Even the bird demons singing on the branches stopped their song.
The Beast King!
A divine beast!
The absolute ruler of Tiandang Mountain!
A human actually dared to say that he wanted to "take some of the Beast King's blood"?
"Senior, have you lost your mind? Taking the Beast King's blood? This isn't buying tofu pudding!" The wolf demon quickly whispered.
He deeply regretted agreeing to bring Luo Tian here.
On the other side, the five-colored divine bull was also stunned. "You... want to take my blood?"
Luo Tian nodded slightly, took a bottle from his spatial ring, and said softly, "Yes, this bottle will be enough."
"You even brought a bottle?" The wolf demon was on the verge of collapsing. He could hardly believe his eyes.
Is this guy out of his mind?
The wolf demon couldn't stop asking himself: he had already warned Luo Tian about the Beast King's bad temper, so why was Luo Tian still daring to say such things?
"Hahahahaha..."
The Beast King, enraged, let out a deafening laugh, full of menace.
"Take my blood and bring a bottle? Fine! Fine! You little human, if you're so brave, come and take it yourself!"
Luo Tian nodded indifferently. "Alright."
With that, he lightly leaped into the air, tapping his toes for a moment on the wolf demon's back before landing in front of the five-colored divine bull.
The wolf demon could only watch in shock, his eyes wide open in disbelief. "Is he really going through with it? Is he an idiot or just overconfident?!"
Shing!
Luo Tian drew his sword, his gaze unwavering as he aimed it at the back of the five-colored divine bull.
The five-colored divine bull gave Luo Tian a cold glance, its eyes laced with mockery. "You foolish human, you think you can take my divine blood? My body is like copper and iron; not even divine weapons can break through it! If you dare strike, my protective aura will crush you... Ah!"
Just as the five-colored divine bull was pondering how Luo Tian would die, a sword suddenly pierced through its protective aura and skin.
Splat!
The blood of the five-colored divine bull gushed out from the wound, crimson and shocking.
Both the wolf demon and the bird demons on the trees were stunned.
"Hey, is the Beast King in a good mood today? Did he actually let that human take his blood?"
"What? Did he let him? It looks to me like that human broke through the protective aura himself."
"You're crazy, aren't you? Don't you know how strong the Beast King's body is? If he didn't actively lower his aura, there's no way anyone could hurt him!"
The bird demons chattered among themselves.
Meanwhile, the five-colored divine bull's body trembled violently, and its aura surged.
"You damn human, you're courting death!"
The five-colored divine bull roared in fury, its aura intensifying as it tried to stand up to retaliate.
But just then, Luo Tian's bottle had barely collected a small amount of blood.
Seeing the five-colored divine bull preparing to rise, Luo Tian frowned slightly and waved his hand. In an instant, a golden hand, even larger than the five-colored divine bull itself, descended from the sky, materializing in front of them.
The Dao Palm Technique!
"Don't move!" Luo Tian commanded coldly.
Boom!
The golden hand slammed down like a mountain, forcefully pressing down on the back of the five-colored divine bull.
