Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Several more days passed.

The entire village of Apricot Blossom Village had been waiting at the entrance, everyone's face filled with anxiety.

Not all members of the hunting party had gone into the mountains; a small portion remained in the village.

They had been unable to restrain themselves several days prior, wanting to go into the mountains to search, but they were stopped by the village chief and others.

The village chief and the others had considered many possibilities.

Perhaps they had truly encountered danger, hunting for the horns of True God Realm Savage Beasts and encountering a large number of True God Realm Savage Beasts in an ambush.

Only this possibility could put them in a dangerous situation; otherwise, with the number of the hunting party, they shouldn't be in such dire straits, especially with Lord Divine accompanying them.

If they had been ambushed by people from Savage Village, then after so many days, the people from Savage Village would definitely have deliberately sent news.

Because that's how it had always been in the past.

The people from Savage Village wanted nothing more than to see them in utter grief.

Now, there was no news from Savage Village, indicating that they had not succeeded, or that they had not ambushed them this time.

But who could say for sure whether the people from Savage Village had truly not entered the mountains for an ambush?

What if Lord Divine and the hunting party had not yet returned, and the people from Savage Village hadn't had the chance to act yet?

In this situation, if the hunting party members remaining in the village were to enter the mountains again, wouldn't they be walking directly into the encirclement of the Savage Village people?

"Village chief, could they really have encountered danger?

It's been so many days since they went into the mountains; it's never taken this long before."

The people in the village were very worried, their hearts clenched tightly, spending every moment in apprehension and anxiety.

"We must believe in Lord Divine; he is a powerhouse stronger than the middle heaven realm of the True God.

With Lord Divine present, I believe that even if they encounter danger, they will eventually be able to turn it into safety.

Everyone, don't panic; we just need to wait patiently.

Perhaps something unexpected happened in the mountains, causing them to delay their return."

The village chief was also worried, but he appeared very calm.

He knew very well that he was the backbone of the village.

Now, he had to stabilize everyone's hearts.

He comforted everyone, and also comforted himself.

In fact, he believed in his heart that something had likely happened this time.

In the past, when the hunting party went into the mountains, they would definitely return within two days.

But this time, it had been a full five days.

This length of time had exceeded the past by more than double!

… …

At the same time, in the area where the Savage Blood Grapes grew.

The Savage Beasts that had been searching everywhere on the small mountain a few days ago had already left.

They had searched every inch of the entire small mountain, and finally left in disappointment.

Apart from the bunch of Savage Blood Grapes that had been picked, there was no second bunch.

Near a small mountain, dense trees, strangely layered rocks.

This place was very suitable for hiding.

The people of Apricot Blossom Village had all been hiding here for almost five days.

Everyone's brows were filled with worry.

After waiting for so many days, why hadn't Lord Divine returned yet?

The most anxious was Hua Qi.

His brows were tightly furrowed at all times, his body and mind tense, constantly peering into the distance through the gaps in the trees, hoping that in some moment, he would suddenly see his master's figure returning.

… …

A densely wooded, topographically complex area in the Savage Beast Mountains.

Jun Wuxie was cultivating in the Eight-Nine Profound Palace.

His body was shining brightly with golden light, gathering into beams that soared into the sky.

Every pore on his body was erupting with golden light, filled with a rich aura of life.

Within the tenfold time array, he had been cultivating for dozens of days.

The Savage Blood Grapes had a powerful effect.

He consumed more than forty Savage Blood Grapes, and finally cultivated his realm to the great perfection of the Semi-God Extreme Realm!

Having reached this realm, the effect of the Savage Blood Grapes had been greatly reduced.

If he wanted to break through to the Half-Step True God Realm, even if he ate all the remaining Savage Blood Grapes, it wouldn't work.

The grade of resources required for his cultivation was too high.

Next, he needed resources of at least middle grade God Rank Three.

Resources like the Savage Blood Grapes, which were early grade God Rank Three, had a very poor effect, mainly because the energy quality was insufficient compared to his own blood energy quality.

When the golden blood energy light gradually subsided, he entered the Eternal Life Shrine, stepping into the Weapon Tomb to temper his physical body, until it was in a perfect and flawless state before he withdrew.

Opening his eyes, moving his muscles and bones, stretching his arms, and feeling the difference in divine power between before this cultivation and now, he breathed a sigh of relief with great satisfaction.

"Several days have passed outside, Hua Qi and the others must be getting anxious.

The people in the village are even more so; they must be extremely worried. It's time to go back."

Jun Wuxie immediately left the Eight-Nine Profound Palace, returning along the way he had come, shuttling through the dense mountains and forests.

On the way, he sensed the aura of many Savage Beasts.

However, due to the distance, those Savage Beasts couldn't sense him, so they didn't launch an attack.

The Savage Blood Grape incident had long since ended, and it was estimated that most of the Savage Beasts had already returned to their respective territories.

When he was about to reach the area where the Savage Blood Grapes grew, he sensed a powerful Savage Beast aura, lurking in the woods of a certain small mountain.

His eyes turned cold; it was actually one of the Savage Beasts that had chased him that day.

Obviously, some of those Savage Beasts were not reconciled, believing that he might return to this place, so they were lurking here.

It had to be said that their speculation was correct; he had indeed returned.

He stood on the peak of a mountain, looking into the distance, and then exerted force with his feet, soaring into the air like an eagle.

Relying on the powerful strength of his physical body, with a leap, he drew a long parabola, landing on a certain mountain head in front.

Just as his body rushed into the sky above that mountain head, and his body was falling down.

On that calm mountain peak, in the dense forest, a terrifying wild and savage aura suddenly erupted, sweeping out like a tide.

Roar!

A low roar that shook the mountains and forests rang out.

At the same time, a Savage Demon Ape with a burly figure and a height of several meters rushed out of the forest into the high sky.

That huge, black-haired palm, like a cattail leaf fan, flickered with dense divine runes, grabbing at the falling Jun Wuxie, wanting to hold his body in its hand.

"It's Master! Look, it's Master!"

Although the distance was far, because the height was sufficient, the scene in the distance was seen by Hua Qi and others hiding in the mountains.

Everyone's eyes instantly focused, their minds tightened.

Lord Divine had returned, but he had encountered an ambush.

They recognized that the Savage Demon Ape was one of the Savage Beasts that had chased Lord Divine that day.

At that time, the Savage Demon Ape was guarding the innermost layer of Savage Beasts, indicating that its realm was the strongest among the Savage Beasts.

At least in the extreme high heaven realm of the True God, or even the absolute heaven realm!

At this moment, the Savage Demon Ape's terrifying palm grabbed towards Jun Wuxie.

Lord Divine was in the air, unable to borrow strength, and did not prop up that powerful defensive barrier; wouldn't he be very dangerous?

Just as their minds were tense, their palms sweating nervously, they saw that the falling Jun Wuxie did not choose to dodge, but directly stepped down on that big, black-haired hand.

With a loud bang.

It seemed that the mountain forest was shaking along with it.

The divine runes on that black-haired hand quickly collapsed under Jun Wuxie's palm.

Immediately afterwards, the Savage Demon Ape, which had jumped up, was shaken away, and the golden-light-flowing palm stepped on its head, causing its huge body to smash down with a bang, destroying a large area of trees, causing the small mountain to shake a few times.

Roar—

Almost at the same time, violent roars rang out in the distance, and several Savage Beasts appeared, rushing towards there madly.

Immediately afterwards, Savage Birds soared into the sky, their wings slicing across the sky, also rushing towards there.

"Damn it, all of those strongest Savage Beasts haven't left; they've been lurking, guarding Lord Divine!

Lord Divine is about to encounter an encirclement!"

The strong men of Apricot Blossom Village were filled with anxiety, sweat rolling down their foreheads.

Hua Qi watched nervously, his hands hanging at his waist clenched tightly, his knuckles turning white, his teeth clenched tightly, and a ridge bulging out on his face.

Boom!

They saw Jun Wuxie's body fall into the mountain forest of that mountain peak.

Immediately afterwards, terrifying divine energy fluctuations swept out from the mountain forest, and then drove the air currents, forming a strong shock wave, causing the trees in a large area of the mountain forest to shake.

The next moment, they saw golden blood energy soaring into the sky, and a Savage Beast covered in black hair was thrown into the air, letting out a violent roar.

Such a scene caused their pupils to contract in unison.

Hua Qi's eyes instantly bloomed with extremely bright light.

Master actually threw a Savage Beast above the extreme high heaven realm of the True God directly into the air; it can truly be said that he has the strength to uproot mountains and the spirit to overwhelm the world!

Master is so strong!

His mood changed from worry and tension to excitement and agitation, as well as ardent worship.

The Savage Demon Ape's body was thrown into the high sky, temporarily losing its center of gravity and balance.

At this moment, Jun Wuxie, whose whole body was shining with golden light, also rushed into the air, instantly catching up with the Savage Demon Ape's body, and with his right leg infused with golden blood energy, he ruthlessly chopped the Savage Demon Ape down from the high sky with a kick.

The Savage Demon Ape howled miserably, its body instantly breaking in the middle as if it had been broken, turning into a V-shape, falling to the ground at high speed, the speed so fast that its body rubbed against the air and produced fire, causing the black hair all over its body to burn.

Amidst the roaring sound, the Savage Demon Ape's body crashed into the top of the mountain, splashing dust all over the sky, and the broken mountain rocks flew around.

Jun Wuxie's body fell down, stepping on the Savage Demon Ape's face with his right foot, crushing its entire head into the hard mountain rocks.

The blood energy of the sole of his foot poured into its head, suppressing the Yuan Spirit in its sea of consciousness, preventing it from running its power, making its entire body difficult to move.

All of this happened very quickly, only in a moment.

The Savage Beasts and Savage Birds in other places had just rushed here when they saw this scene.

The fastest was the Savage Bird in the air.

With a cry, it flapped its wings and swooped down at high speed.

The divine light on its body trailed a long tail of light in the air, and runic divine patterns lit up on its sharp claws, making them incomparably sharp, intent on tearing Jun Wuxie apart.

Jun Wuxie's eyes were indifferent, meeting the attack with only a physical fist. With a clang, fist and claw collided, bursting out with a harsh metallic tremor and scattering sparks.

The force of the impact swept over him instantly.

Almost simultaneously, the vicious bird's wings slashed like heavenly blades, aiming for his body.

A golden military symbol rushed out of his body, instantly transforming into a spiral of divine power, piercing forward.

Amidst a series of clanging sounds, the vicious bird cried out miserably, large patches of feathers breaking off and fluttering in the air.

"Come down!"

Jun Wuxie's left hand, which had been hanging at his waist, swiftly reached out, his blood energy forming a golden dragon claw as it grabbed over.

The vicious bird wanted to retreat and avoid this attack, but it was sucked in by the Qiankun golden vortex presented by his sleeve, making it difficult to break free, and it emitted a sharp cry.

In the next moment, the vicious bird's massive body was pulled down by the golden dragon claw amidst a dragon's roar, and it crashed heavily onto the mountain peak.

Jun Wuxie lifted his other foot and stomped it heavily on the vicious bird's head, rendering the bird's body unable to struggle, unable to break free at all.

Such a scene was too shocking, deeply impacting the vision and minds of the people of Apricot Flower Village.

Jun Shen was actually strong to such an extent!

These unfathomable vicious beasts were simply no match for Jun Shen in a one-on-one fight!

The other vicious beasts and birds, which were already about to rush in front of him, abruptly stopped and then retreated in unison.

Their eyes were filled with horror.

Why was this human so terrifying?

According to its aura characteristics, he should not have broken through to the True God Realm yet, but he could easily suppress these True God Absolute Heaven Realm experts.

It was really too terrifying.

Almost at the same time, the vicious beasts and birds turned around and ran without hesitation.

They knew that this human was too strong. If they insisted on fighting him, even if they could eventually kill him, they were afraid that these experts would die as well.

By then, when other vicious beasts and birds of the same realm arrived, wouldn't they be torn apart?

Watching the vicious beasts and birds leave, Jun Wuxie did not pursue.

There were too many of them. Even if he pursued, he could only leave one behind.

In the time it took him to kill one vicious beast or bird, the others would have already gone far away.

"Master!"

Hua Qi's excited shout came from afar.

"Jun Shen!"

The hunters of Apricot Flower Village also rushed excitedly towards here.

Before long, they arrived at this mountain peak.

Seeing Hua Qi running towards here, Jun Wuxie hurriedly shattered the primordial spirits of the vicious beast and bird, otherwise, if they were too close, the aura they emitted might injure him.

"Why are your eyes still red?"

Jun Wuxie looked at Hua Qi with a smile. The boy's eyes were red, looking like he was about to cry.

"Disciple is not…"

Hua Qi did not admit it, but when his uncles and elders all looked at him, he revealed an awkward expression.

The hunters of the hunting team sighed in their hearts when they saw his appearance.

Qi'er, this child, is probably thinking of his father.

His father sacrificed himself in the Vicious Beast Mountain Range back then.

When he was young, he saw his father's tragic state with his own eyes.

At that time, he was not allowed to see it, and he had already been put in a coffin.

As a result, this kid secretly opened the coffin in the middle of the night and cried so sadly.

Having lost his father at a young age, he may have placed his feelings for his father on Jun Shen now.

"You guys deal with the corpses."

Jun Wuxie casually dissected the bodies of the vicious beast and bird under his feet, taking out the vicious beast crystal core.

This crystal core was equivalent to the life star of a human cultivator, condensing most of the energy essence.

After taking the crystal core, the men of the village, who were at the True God Small Heaven Realm, could shake the bodies of these two vicious beasts and birds.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to break their defense, even if they were just two corpses.

The difference in realm was too great, it was so outrageous that even the corpses could not be shaken.

"Okay!"

The men of Apricot Flower Village looked at the two corpses in front of them, rubbing their hands excitedly.

This was a treasure. Vicious beasts and birds with high realms were treasures all over.

The harvest of this trip was really huge!

Jun Wuxie rushed towards the mountain where the Vicious Blood Grape vines grew.

It was a pity to leave the Vicious Blood Grape vines behind, and it was the wisest choice to dig them away.

Although there was no suitable environment to cultivate them now, after all, the place suitable for them to grow needed to have energy containing violent aura.

But in the future, he would definitely be able to create such an environment for it, and it would not take much effort.

As long as it was given a better growing environment, the Vicious Blood Grape vines could bear more Vicious Blood Grapes.
