Chapter 448: A Single Step Away

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

A huge bear lay down in front of Bei Feng, completely motionless. Its two large eyeballs swiveled lightly in an innocent manner. The huge bear which should have been the overlord of the forest was now behaving extremely cautiously before Bei Feng.

It was not afraid of Bei Feng; after all, in its eyes, Bei Feng was only a tiny figure. It was afraid that it would accidentally hurt Bei Feng by accident if it was not careful.

"The two little fellows from back then had already grown so big. One has broken through to the Xiantian realm, while the other is at the peak of Evolved Jing."

Bei Feng petted the huge bear's head and sighed.

These two Demonic Beasts were originally just simple beasts. But in just a few short years, they had relied on the few snake galls that Bei Feng had given them on a chance meeting to reach their current level!

On top of that, these two Demonic Beasts were obviously much cleverer than other Demonic Beasts, and had a trace more spiritual awareness.

Bei Feng's eyesight had reached a terrifying level, and with the support of his Moon grade mental power, he could instantly tell what had happened in this place with just a single glance.

"I guess this counts as fate as well. Back then, I said that I would take you guys away with me if I met you again. Stay here for a while first, I'll come back and bring you all away when I return."

Language and culture might be limited by social constructs, but mental power was not. Bei Feng's mental power gently swept through the minds of the two creatures, speaking to their minds directly.

Mental power could be used to overcome the language gap, allowing the two Demonic Beasts to understand his meaning clearly. They laid down honestly, watching Bei Feng and the rest leave.

Bei Feng's group's speed was very fast. In just a short moment, a huge black platform appeared before them.

"Be careful, the area around outside this platform has a restrictive power on flight. On the other side is a golden-yellow lava lake. Its temperature is extremely high, and a type of lava python which could survive in this few thousand degrees hot lava lake dwells here," Bei Feng warned.

Bai Xiang scratched his head and asked, "Boss, are we here for those lava pythons?"

Indigestion lifted its head proudly and said, "If the lava pythons are at the same level as that one at the entrance, this Lord Dog can easily kill a lake-full of them."

"There's an old ancestor of all the lava pythons there that's evolved to a dragon. Since you're so confident, I'll just leave it to you," Bei Feng said with a playful smile.

Indigestion looked like it'd choked on some turd as it hurriedly said, "Ah... this Lord Dog feels that it's more appropriate for the king to fight the king, and the generals to fight the generals. That old ancestor shall be left to you, and we'll just settle for the small sons and grandsons."

For a creature that could mutate to a dragon, even if its cultivation realm was not high, its battle prowess would definitely be top tier. Especially with the conditions on Earth, this was even more the case.

Bei Feng laughed dryly and did not bother with the Cerberus. Soaring Rainbow shot out of his body and swam around him like a fish. From the way it was vibrating and humming, it seemed like it could not wait to drink its fill of blood!

The others immediately grew serious and raised their guards. With Bei Feng's strength, the fact that he used his strongest methods from the start meant that the opponent was definitely extremely powerful.

Bei Feng easily jumped over to the huge platform and looked downwards. Below him, there was a brilliant fruit hanging on a vine. Strange phenomena could be seen around it, and the rate at which blood and Qi energy of anyone nearby rotated would also increase a notch.

"Looks like this Demonic Beast hasn't completed its mutation to become a true dragon. This fruit has already ripened a long time ago, but it hasn't been consumed yet. Despite that, the medicinal essence of this strange fruit is still growing, and it's even beginning to show improvements in quality!"

Bei Feng furrowed his brows. He was relieved to find that the fruit hadn't been eaten yet, but his vigilance was heightened. This lava python that was about to evolve had definitely already been guarding this fruit for a long time. If he or anyone else tried to snatch this fruit away now, it would definitely draw the rage of this lava python!

"Looks like the reason this lava python had been delaying consuming this fruit was because it wanted to make use of this fruit to break through the crucial last step of evolving into a dragon! At this time, it is only a single step away from accomplishing its goal!" Bei Feng mumbled to himself.

Mystic One and the rest had also jumped onto the platform and looked down at the golden lava with shock.

Normal lava did not exceed several hundred degrees in temperature, but the golden lava before them was at least a thousand degrees hot!

Several hundred meters below, there were many black platforms. Bei Feng took the lead and jumped down. The lava was just ten meters below him.

Mystic One and the rest also followed after him. Although there was a restriction on space, this was not really worth a mention to Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts. Even a Qi refining Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert could use their zhenqi to jump several hundred meters in one leap!

Bei Feng's mental power was spread out around him constantly. He could also see countless lava pythons clustered together under the lava lake, like a huge squirming pool of snakes.

It wasn't clear how thick the lava pool was. Even with Bei Feng's mental power being able to reach 500 meters away from his body, it was still insufficient to see the bottom of the lava lake!

The further down his mental power went, the higher the temperature was. Even Bei Feng's mental power had a feeling of being scorched.

One of the stellar acupoints in Bei Feng's body lit up, and stellar power constantly flowed into his body.

'Hm? There's such a strong fire attributed stellar energy in here? Could it be that there's a fallen fire star under here?'

Bei Feng could feel the changes in his body as fiery red stellar energy constantly flowed with visible speed into the stellar acupoint in his heart.

Heart: the heart was the dwelling place of the divine, blood was the host, the arteries were the sect, and it was fire attributed among the five organs!

The heart was an extremely important internal organ. There was a large number of apertures on it, too numerous to count. But for stellar acupoints, there were only seven!

The stellar acupoint was trembling restlessly at this point as red mist filled its internal space. The temperature in the stellar acupoint was immensely high.

Bei Feng allowed the Minor Dark Sky Breathing Technique to revolve by itself, and at this point, the lava underneath him began to grow turbulent.

Countless lava pythons surged to the surface. Bei Feng lifted his hand slowly and swept it out across the surface of the lava lake!

Instantly, a pair of huge Giant Bear paws appeared in the sky, slowly slamming downwards. Although the paws looked slow, it was actually just an illusion due to the size of the paws.

When he came here the first time, Bei Feng had already seen that near the over 10 Giant Bear corpses on the platform, there were numerous black patterns. At this time, the black patterns lit up and a powerful aura filled the underground cavern.

Bei Feng and the rest felt a huge pressure descending onto their bodies. At the same time, the entire underground space began to shake.

This was the undying will and spirit of the Giant Bears. Bei Feng's Giant Bear manifestation appearing in this ancestral land of the Giant Bears had drawn out the spirits of the Giant Bears and formed a resonance with them.

After the silvery-white Giant Bear Manifestation received the infusion of the black mist, its strength instantly tripled!

Bei Feng suddenly felt his battle strength increasing slowly, approaching another bottleneck towards the realm above Controlled Dan!

"Boom!"

The immensely terrifying attack blasted heavily down on the golden lava lake!

Two gigantic palms prints instantly appeared on the lava lake. The entire lava lake rumbled crazily, and huge golden lava waves rose high into the sky.
