Shi Teng avoided the villagers and, with a few leaps, dashed towards the village entrance.
He was, after all, a Blood Mobilization Realm expert now, possessing the strength of ten thousand jin. Going out for a spin and then returning shouldn't be a problem.
Maybe he could even sign in for some nice treasures!
Shi Teng arrived at the village entrance and bowed again to the Willow Deity. "Willow Deity sister, thank you for the Azure Dragon Transformation Technique. When I become strong, I will definitely repay you!"
The Willow Deity's emerald green branches emitted strands of crystalline light, gently brushing against Shi Teng's body.
Her tone was somewhat shocked. "Boy, your comprehension ability is not bad. In just one day, you've actually entered the Blood Mobilization Realm, a realm that ordinary people would struggle to reach in their entire lives!"
Shi Teng scratched the back of his head, a little bashful. "Hehe, isn't that all thanks to the Azure Dragon Treasure Technique that Willow Deity sister bestowed!"
Willow Deity nodded!
Shi Teng then ran towards the outside of the village, with Willow Deity's emerald green branches gently swaying.
Shi Teng was immediately flung away.
"Kid, in the Great Wilderness, among the mountains and valleys, prehistoric beasts run rampant, and ancient descendants roam. With your current strength, you dare to venture outside? Are you looking to die?"
Shi Teng said, "I naturally know this, but I can't stay here forever just because I'm afraid of death.
Sister Willow Deity can protect us for a while, but she can't protect us forever. We still need to find strength and opportunities ourselves!"
Willow Deity nodded slightly, and couldn't help but look at Shi Teng with admiration.
It was already very rare for someone so young to have such understanding!
"Very good, it seems you're ready!"
Shi Teng continued, "Forget about being prepared, I can at least keep my dog-like life intact!"
"Excellent. As long as you can lift my vine, I'll let you go."
Looking at the Willow Deity's verdant, emerald-green branch, Shi Teng gave an unfriendly smile.
This is easy!
He immediately grabbed the Willow Deity's branch and gently applied force, but the willow branch didn't budge an inch!
What the heck!
Shi Teng's eyes widened. He put all his strength into both arms, but the willow branch remained still.
Shi Teng was immediately displeased, "Sister, this is clearly a trick!"
The Willow Deity revealed a slight smile, "I didn't say I couldn't trick you!"
Shi Teng's eyes immediately shot out a fierce light, and he threw a punch at the Willow Deity.
He also wanted to see how much his current strength differed from the Willow Deity's.
The Willow Deity just flicked a willow branch lightly, and Shi Teng was immediately sent flying.
As expected of the Ancestral Spirit, truly strong!
However, Shi Teng was somewhat unwilling, and he let out a loud shout, "Again!"
A phantom of an ancient Azure Dragon appeared around his body, and with his feet exerting force, he once again punched at the Willow Deity.
This time, Shi Teng was once again knocked back, and crashed heavily onto the ground.
A look of shock also appeared on the Willow Deity's face. As expected of the ancient Azure Dragon physique, the power of the body was truly overbearing!
Shi Teng's attack had a force of thirty thousand jin.
However, Willow Deity didn't praise him, lest he become arrogant. Instead, she mocked, "What? Is this all the strength you have? And you still want to leave Stone Village!"
Shi Teng's body had just landed when he leaped up again, his eyes blazing with a fierce light.
"Not at all! Again!"
Shi Teng roared, "Azure Dragon Tear Sky Hand!"
Two azure-colored dragon claws grabbed Willow Deity's vines, and his arms strained.
With every movement, the two dragon claws tore at Willow Deity's vines.
Willow Deity was shocked again. In just one day, this kid had comprehended the Azure Dragon Treasure Technique!
At such a young age, to have such talent… If he were to encounter some great opportunities, his future would be limitless.
No wonder he's from there.
This child, Shi Teng, has the potential of a Great Emperor!
Watching Shi Teng still struggling, the Willow Deity's willow branches trembled slightly and instantly broke free from Shi Teng's grasp.
She cleared the path!
Shi Teng's expression was slightly surprised, "You're not stopping me!"
The Willow Deity's voice was low, "Your strength has already proven yourself. Go!"
Shi Teng thanked the Willow Deity, leaped, and jumped directly out of the village entrance.
Looking out, the entire Great Wilderness was vast and boundless, without end. High peaks and deep valleys surrounded him, with endless, towering mountains.
"Whoosh..."
A gust of wind blew through, and a massive dark cloud appeared in the sky, covering the entire sky.
A fierce, savage cry of a bird came from high above, piercing through metal and splitting stone. It originated from that dark cloud, and upon closer inspection, it was an enormous bird, unbelievably huge, blotting out the sun and covering the sky, its length unknown, stretching for miles.
Shi Teng's body trembled slightly. "Wow, what a huge bird!"
Stone Village was like a completely different world compared to the outside.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for signing in at the Great Wilderness, obtaining a Broken Xingtian Axe*1
Xingtian, an ancient demon god, was originally a fierce general under the command of the Yan Emperor. Because he refused to yield to the Yellow Emperor, he fought a great battle with him.
Xingtian's weapon was the Xingtian Axe, ranking among the Ten Great Demon Weapons.
Currently, it is sealed, only able to unleash one ten-thousandth of its power. It needs to be nourished with the blood of ancient demon gods to restore its former demonic might!
A hint of joy appeared on Shi Teng's face. This Great Wilderness was indeed a fascinating world.
Even though it was just a broken Xingtian Axe, it was, after all, one of the Ten Great Demon Weapons. Once repaired, it should be very powerful!
Shi Teng's thoughts stirred, and a huge battle axe materialized in his right hand. It was pitch black, with ancient demon god runes carved upon it, making it look like a ferocious beast baring its teeth.
Shi Teng swung the axe down at the ground, instantly cleaving a deep gash into the earth.
Even though he could only use a ten-thousandth of his power, it was still incredibly strong!
Shi Teng leaped several times, heading towards a distant peak. Now that he was out, he wanted to take a good look around.
*Ding! Congratulations to the host for checking in at Sky-Propping Peak. You have received a 100,000-year-old, grade-nine Purple Fungus 1.
*Ding! Congratulations to the host for checking in at the Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros' territory. You have received a 100,000-year-old Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower 1.
Looking around, the Great Wilderness was teeming with prehistoric beasts, roaming the mountains and forests.
In a nearby valley, a Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros was leisurely foraging for food.
Suddenly,
A figure leaped out from the nearby undergrowth, and a massive battle axe fiercely cleaved towards the Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros.
Such a powerful blow didn't even break the hide of the Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros.
Startled, the Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros immediately panicked and darted away in all directions.
Two figures reappeared in the forest, suddenly throwing out a large net to ensnare the Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros.
However, it didn't have much effect. The Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros quickly fled, dragging the two figures along the ground instantly.
Shi Teng's eyebrows twitched slightly. These people were none other than the adults from Stone Village.
Leading them was none other than Shi Linhu, the strongest warrior of Stone Village.
He was extremely tall, over two meters, and carried a giant axe weighing over three hundred jin on his back. His entire body was as burly as a human bear, and his coppery muscles bulged in blocks, like pythons writhing beneath his skin.
Shi Linhu wielded his battle axe, his massive frame following closely behind the Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros.
Shi Teng seized the opportunity, and the battle axe in his hand instantly flew out, cleaving into the legs of the Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros.
The Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros collapsed onto the ground, letting out a roar.
Shi Teng shook his head slightly. "Ah, the weak are prey to the strong, the strong rule. This is the law of survival in the natural world. We'll have fresh roasted meat for dinner tonight!"
