Chapter 108: 108
The beast was a gigantic eagle with a height of nearly ten feet and thirty feet wide, and was at the early Qi Condensation realm.
John's eyes narrowed as he stared directly at the beast, with a scythe in hand.
“Let me handle this!” miko said as she raised her sword and prepared to attack.
Although Miko was also only at the early Qi Condensation realm, she was more than confident in defeating this beast. While ordinary cultivators were afraid of beasts in the same realm as them, Miko was not at all ordinary.
John nodded, but internally he was conflicted.
‘I really want to test my strength against this beast. Although I don't know if I can beat him, I'm sure at least I can give a good fight. But my blood essence reserve was limited, and I used more than half of it during the lightning trial. I don't know what other dangers I will face, so I have to play it safe for now. ‘
John takes many steps back and watches Miko casually walk towards the beast, with a sword at his side. The arrogant expression on his face told John that he did not care at all about the strength of this beast.
The beast was sleeping on the top of a tree, which he considered his home. He takes care of the fruit, and every hundred years he will harvest it for his children. However, just as the fruit was about to ripen to harvest, he saw these two young men approaching, completely fueling his anger.
Screeched!
The eagle rambles angrily at Miko, hoping to scare her, but to his surprise, Miko keeps getting closer. The eagle flew into the air and swung its wings directly towards Miko. A sharp air stream, strong enough to smash the boulders hit Miko hard.
‘Obviously the eagle is an aerial animal. Why are there so many elemental beasts in this world? ‘ John couldn't help but ask himself with curiosity.
The explosion! The explosion! The explosion!
The bright green field exploded as the ground and rocks were kicked. The eagle continued to send air strikes after air strikes towards Miko, making sure to kill her in one fell swoop, as he sensed great danger from the boy.
Che's!
A sharp sword light flew out from the clouds of earth and stone, and struck the chest of the eagle before it could even react. Blood shot out from the wound as the eagle flew higher into the sky, giving himself more time to react to the attack.
The ground clouds immediately disappeared, revealing Miko standing there unscathed, even though her clothes were quite shabby.
“b*j*ng*n, this is my favorite robe!” Miko shouted as she realized the damage.
The eagle rambled furiously seeing the boy unharmed, and prepared to send a stronger attack towards him.
Miko focused her mind on her strongest state and quickly slashed her sword towards the eagle hovering high in the air. A bright white light that contained a holy aura flew straight towards the eagle, and struck it before he could even react. The white light penetrated directly through the eagle, but there was no visible damage on its body.
A second later, the eagle let out a final loud cry before falling straight to the ground below. John watched in shock as the eagle fell violently to the ground, and stopped moving altogether after that.
As he watched the attack fly, John frowned slightly as his soul trembled.
‘That must have been one of Miko's soul attacks. I was not even the target of the attack and I felt my soul tremble. I know animals usually have weaker souls than humans, making it a bad fight against Miko, but still. How frightening. ‘
Beasts usually had extremely strong and durable bodies, but at the same time had weaker souls. This was not a problem most of the time for these ferocious beasts, as soul cultivators were extremely rare, but when they fought against it, they would benefit greatly. Although there were some soul-focused beasts and were exceptions, this short battle that John had just witnessed showed just how terrifying soul cultivators were.
Without a strong soul, the beast could not even hold back the slightest bit as Miko's attack wiped her soul out of existence. Miko looked at the beast before turning to John with a big smile on her face and quickly swapped her broken robe for a new one.
“Haha, that's easy.Let's get our fruit!”
John nodded and joined Miko.
“Hey, can I get this beast blood essence?” Ask John.
“Uhh, sure, just take it all, but what do you need it for?” miko asked confusedly.
“This helped one of my techniques,” replied John. She did not want to go into too much detail, as it involved her biggest secret, but also did not want to leave Miko in the dark.
“Oh, okay, it makes sense.”
“By the way, now it seems like the tree is already clean from wild animals, let's climb and grab those fruits!”
John got rid of the corpse in his palace realm, and planned to harvest his blood essence later. Although the beast blood was no longer efficient for cultivating the Eternal Asura Body, it was still very useful in replenishing his body's Qi reserves, allowing him to fight for longer while using the Supreme Battle Art.
John and Miko climbed the big tree, and took the time to get to the top. The fruit was bright red, with small black dots immediately appearing in their eyes, and Miko and John started salivating. The fruit gives off an intoxicating and vibrant aroma.
“Haha, up close this fruit is much more amazing than expected. Coming this way was the right decision,” Miko laughed as she began to extend a hand towards the fruit.
Just as her hand was about to pick up one of the fruits, a small shadow shot towards the back of Miko's head.
