Tainted will

The sun hung high in the azure blue sky, numerous clouds were floating aimlessly.

The huge mountains were evergreen. The fragrance of flowers filled the air, weeds grew wildly everywhere, and unknown varieties of wildflowers dotted the grass thicket. As the light breeze blew, the wild grass moved to and fro.

The planet of Azure is mainly divided into five regions, the northern azure continent, the southern azure continent, the eastern azure continent, the Western azure continent, and the central azure continent. Their name denotes their general direction on the planet Azure with the Northern azure continent being in the north, the Southern azure continent being in the south, and so forth. The northern azure continent alone has an area of roughly three to four times the size of the earth. Each region possesses a regional wall that separates the region from the other adjacent regions. The walls seem to extend all the way up to the limitless heavens, as well as far beneath the earth and have a certain range that extends quite some way.

Xuan mountain was just a tiny mountain in the numerous mountains in the secluded part of the northern continent. Only mountains with spirit springs would generally have human villages living in them. Not all mountains would have spirit springs, maybe one out of every hundred or so mountains would generally have spirit springs.

In between the mountains, the forests were deep and ominous, the cliffs steep and full of dangerous falling rocks. Additionally, in the complex surroundings of the forest dwelled a large number of demonic beasts and peculiar terrain, forbidden grounds.

Mortals could not pass through at all. It was difficult to get past these obstacles, one had to at least be a peak core formation realm cultivator if they wanted to travel through these mountains and reach the mainland.

Somewhere near a nameless mountainside.

There was a wolf group with nearly three hundred poison sheep wolves gathered here. The strength of these beasts ranged anywhere from 1st tier low grade to 3rd tier high-grade beasts, they were all led by a single tier 4 low-grade poison sheep wolf.

These poison sheep wolves have purple and sliver bodies, and the fur on its body was especially thick. Their bodies were not large, around the same size as a 1st tier hell wolf.

These wolves did not know that, high up on the cliff, a Black haired young man wearing a deep green robe was staring at this scene.

ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom "It's been two weeks since I left Xuan mountain. I have probably traveled 10-12 thousand miles but I have still yet to see any humans. From what they have taught us in the clan's academy, the mainland is approximately ninety thousand miles to the north of the Xuan mountain. This piece of knowledge is most likely known because of the first-generation Ye clan head." Bai Ming was pondering.

"If I continue going at this pace it'll probably take me at least another four to five months to get to the mainland." Bai Ming's gaze flickered.

5th layer of Primeval sword art!

Without notice hundred dazzling sword Phantoms appeared behind Bai Ming, before crashing toward the group of poison sheep wolves.

The group of wolves were startled, the group of poison sheep wolves tried to dodge, and fight back using their metallic claws or with their poison spits but it was worthless, each sword phantom stole a life before disappearing.

With just a single sword attack from Bai Ming hundred or so wolves were easily killed.

After that he once again used the 5th layer of primeval sword art, killing another hundred and eight wolves. Before cultivating the seven deities mantra, he could only use the 5th layer three times with his peak core formation cultivation but now he could use it twenty-one times without the need for prior preparation.

The 4th tier poison wolf saw the situation turn bad and immediately led the wolf group to retreat.

However, at this time, Bai Ming used his medium-grade movement technique and tried to close the distance between him and the leader of the wolves.

Primeval sword art-2nd layer!

Swoosh!

A horrific sword ray rapidly swept toward the leader of the wolves, the poison wolf turned around and opened its mouth wide revealing its razor-sharp teeths. A poisonous ball of purple liquid quickly condensed in its mouth before it shot toward the sword ray.

The fearsome sword ray was unaffected by the poisonous purple ball. After a light tearing noise, the tier 4 beast was split into two halves.

With a plop, it landed on the ground, dyeing the grass blood red.

It was completely dead.

Seeing this the remaining wolves didn't hesitate anymore as they hurriedly scattered, Bai Ming ignored them.

"Hmm, this is a poison path beast. This tier 4 poison beast core is a good material for setting up poison-based formations, there are also a dozen tier 3 poison-type beast cores. This much is more than enough." Bai Ming rapidly began collecting the beast cores, as for their corpses he only kept the 4th-tier beast's body, after placing them in his bag of holding he left.

Beast cores were different from dantian, when demon beasts absorbed heaven and earth essence they would naturally nourish the beast's bones, blood, skin, organs, and other body parts increasing their durability and strength. The natural essence would also strengthen their innate abilities that is if they had any, like how the poison wolf had the ability to spit poison.

But beast cores have their own uses, generally they are used in the refining process of pills or refining treasures.

In these past two weeks Bai Ming would constantly face wild beasts, most of the time he would just Ignore them, but if something catches his eye he would take it forcefully. He had collected nearly a hundred 4th-grade beast cores already from different species of demon beasts, but he has yet to encounter any high-grade tier 4 beasts.

Beast cores aren't the only things he collected during this period of time. In the past, Bai Ming had below-standard experience and knowledge regarding spirit herbs, but after memorizing everything mentioned in those few books regarding spirit herbs, which he had gotten after looting the three villages his knowledge had grown. Using this newfound knowledge, Bai Ming had already benefited.

He would occasionally find some spirit herbs which were mentioned in those books, he would store them using the method mentioned in those books. There were also times when he would find spirit herbs that were not mentioned in those books. He would also place them in his bag of holding, but a few of these unknown herbs would be destroyed during the process of either storing them or digging them out.

Just these two weeks of wandering have improved his knowledge and understanding of nature and its wonders.please visit

.....

The sun had already completely disappeared into the horizon and the night fell.

Numerous stars could be vaguely seen in the sky.

Bai Ming climbed the cliff, a dense jungle welcomed him.

The jungle seemed to continue on and on, touching the shadows of the faraway mountains. Furthermore, the depths of the jungle were covered in deep darkness, concealing unknown dangers and beasts.

Chichihouhou…

A series of odd noises sounding like the cries of birds or the howling of the apes resounded in his ears.

The trees in this jungle were at least six meters tall. The air was filled with moisture and the soil was much softer than normal soil.

Under moist atmosphere, moss grew wildly, spreading over the ground, rocks, and tree trunks.

Bai Ming continued to move forward while chewing on a piece of beast meat. Dangers lurked everywhere in the jungle. More so during the night time, when there was scarce light; the jungle became more dangerous than during daytime.

The darkness deepened and the chillness increased the deeper he went into the jungle.

Shortly after, he fought with a huge sliver-backed Bear.

Its force was extremely dreadful and one of the absolutely formidable demon Beast in the 4th tier.

But Bai Ming showed not even a trace of fear when facing this high-grade tier 4 beast, instead there was a bit of excitement. Just as water naturally runs downhill, he aspired to fight against stronger beasts.

"Kill!"

After releasing a low howl, with his eyes blazing like torches, Bai Ming waved his treasure sword. Sword light flashed out across the air for several meters before finally striking the huge body of the Sliver-backed Bear directly.

The sword light was so fleeting that the Sliver-backed Bear didn't even realize its body had been injured at first. Instantly, a flood of fresh blood poured out from the sword scar on its body.

Though the sword scar was nothing to its huge body and strong defense, it was definitely enough to enrage the Sliver-backed Bear.

"Howl!"

The howl from the sliver-backed Bear's mouth echoed in the surroundings. Its two giant feet stamped on the ground as it made great strides toward Bai Ming. Every step forward produced a minor tremor.

The dark sliver eyes of the sliver-backed Bear were a bloody color and its desire to kill Bai Ming increased dramatically.

"He-he, come here little one." Bai Ming chuckled while moving his sword to fight against it.

After a while, Primeval sword art - 1st layer!

A cold and dazzling sword light directly penetrated its defense and plunged into its throat.

"This beast has formidable strength and good defense, but its speed is very slow. Now that I have supreme grandmaster attainment and battle qi my sword path attacks are thirteen times stronger, but if I also consider close combat fights it'll be even stronger because of my body cultivation. Now considering my strength I should be able to fight against spirit realm martial artists, but of course only against spirit realm cultivators from these mountain villages and not from the mainland. But killing a spirit realm martial artist even from these secluded places is a difficult challenge, after all they can just fly away. But if I were to use tier-4 formations the outcome would certainly be in my favor." Bai Ming thought secretly while collecting his loot.

Four weeks unknowingly crept by.

During this period he progressed forward as he battled one formidable Demon Beast after another.

Such as Jade Crystal-Winged Lions, Phantom bug Foxes, white spike Wolverines, Nine Poisons Pythons, and so on.

The formidable demon Beasts in the 4th tier and below became the enemies of Bai Ming and were slowly killed by him.

With his hands crossed, in the darkness of the forest, Bai Ming greedily stared at the child-sized Golden bee hive. But then his eyes turned colder as his gaze shifted to the Huge boulder-like ape guarding it.

"A Tier-5 demon beast, He-He-He challenging indeed" Bai Ming coldly laughed in his heart.
