The dense smoke dispersed, and the once incredibly sturdy barrier had completely vanished. Before their eyes was a charred deep pit, and as for the two guards from the Python Bear Clan who watched over the barrier, even their presence could no longer be detected.
"So powerful! He actually broke through this barrier all on his own!"
"As expected of the lord from the Killmat Nobles; his foundation is far beyond what small clans like ours can compare to."
"Fortunately, we didn’t do anything too excessive earlier, otherwise, our fate would likely have been the same as those from the Python Bear Clan."
"My gosh, such power?" This was Fang Jueyu’s first time using the Primordial Energy Bomb. Seeing this terrifying power, even he was a bit shocked. It was practically a nuclear bomb! This update is available on novel[f]ire.net
This level of destruction was something none of his martial arts techniques could achieve before. But upon careful thought, it made sense. After all, this move concentrated the power of so many people, and with his compression and purification, the power was naturally immeasurable.
"Sigh, if only they had obediently opened the barrier to let us in, there wouldn’t have been any trouble," Fang Jueyu released his Divine Sense for a quick scan; the two warriors from the Python Bear Clan were already completely devoid of life.
Even though the barrier absorbed most of the power, the remaining force was still enough to instantly kill any peak Divine Ability User, let alone two ordinary ones.
Their bodies were charred, and due to the loss of life, some of their features had even exhibited ancestral phenomena.
"So it’s true that evolved monsters can be beaten back to their original form!" Fang Jueyu looked at the two corpses. At this moment, they no longer had their original appearance—entirely charred, with bear-like features, and a snake-scale-like outer armor covering their bodies.
Fang Jueyu wrinkled his nose, "Hiss, this actually smells kind of delicious!"
"Woof woof!" Er Gouzi was also beside him, excitedly sticking out his tongue, as if he had found the most delicious thing in the world.
"What...what exactly is the lord from the Killmat Nobles doing? Why is he drooling?"
"And his pet—its drool is nearly reaching the ground!"
"Could it be that they..."
"Hiss, too cruel! It’s simply murder at heart!"
Under everyone’s shocked gaze, Fang Jueyu pulled out cumin powder, black pepper, chili sauce, and other spices from his person and directly sprinkled them on the fragrant bear paw.
"Er Gouzi, you try it first!"
"Woof woof woof!" Er Gouzi had been eagerly awaiting, as fierce beasts usually grow by devouring other fierce beasts. Although the two warriors from the Python Bear Clan were half-human, the bear paws were almost no different from a real bear’s, leaving Er Gouzi without any psychological burden.
"Woof woof woof!" Er Gouzi tried a bite and immediately barked excitedly.
Fang Jueyu quickly grabbed the other bear paw and began gnawing on it. Tsk tsk tsk, the texture, the chewiness, and the Primordial Energy Bomb’s power was just right—crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Combined with the secret spices, it was simply a divine delicacy.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this flavor is amazing. I wonder if there are any bovine-type beast clans. This taste is even more delectable than purebred fierce beasts!"
On this Beast God Continent, it’s the law of the jungle, so corpse consumption after the death of half-humans is fairly commonplace. But they’ve never seen such tasteful eating methods!
"No, this heat was too intense and destroyed the collagen in the bear paw. Next time, I must try steaming it!"
"He’s actually thinking about a next time! Is he planning a racial massacre in the Python Bear Clan’s territory?"
"Hmph, he’s a lord from the Killmat Nobles! They dared disrespectfully block him, they deserved annihilation!"
"That’s right. If not for the lord, the Beast God Pool could have been taken over by those from the Python Bear Clan!"
"But, speaking frankly, don’t you smell something delicious?"
"Yeah, what kind of spices are those? They even mask the fishy smell of the flesh?"
"Stop it, I...why am I drooling too?"
"Let’s go, up the mountain!" Having eaten and drunk his fill, Fang Jueyu waved his hand, leading everyone toward the mountain.
Indeed, the half-humans of the Python Bear Clan had all gathered at the mountaintop, and in their center was a small lake tinged with light red.
The small lake wasn’t large, and the dense energy emanated from it. The water was boiling violently as if it was being cooked, and its redness seemed to deepen continuously.
When the lake water became as prominent as blood, that would be the peak energy moment of the Beast God Pool, also the best time for Martial Artists to enter.
There was a barrier protecting the lake’s perimeter, inside which was a half-human sitting cross-legged, shirtless, who was evidently a member of the Python Bear Clan. Unlike his peers, his body hair had a faint purple hue, and his scales were more radiant. Clearly, he was the leader of this group.
Seeing the imposing troop, the Python Bear Clan’s warriors became nervous.
"My lord, that is Xiong Wu, the most outstanding young talent of this generation from the Python Bear Clan. Among our various clans, only Duan Wu can contend with him."
"Xiong Wu? Don’t tell me he has two older brothers named Xiong Da and Xiong Er!" Fang Jueyu couldn’t help but quip.
With the seventh-tier power of a Divine Ability User, he was indeed considered outstanding among these people, but to Fang Jueyu, it still wasn’t enough to be noteworthy.
"How can this be? Did they really break through the Prohibition at the mountain’s base?" Xiong Wu opened his eyes to glance at them. For this competition for the Beast God Spring spots, their Python Bear Clan had expended significant effort and resources, and to think they still let them break in.
"Xiong Wu, the lord of the Killmat Nobles is here, yet you still won’t quickly open the barrier to kneel and welcome, and then offer this Beast God Pool?" Sha Yan from the Luoyu Clan proactively stepped forward to say.
The energy of this Beast God Spring was sufficient for three people to utilize. As the saying goes, ’a distinguished disciple brings glory to even his followers.’ Following a lord from the Killmat Nobles, they stood a significant chance to gain this rare opportunity.
After all, their skills were quite decent, but among so many tribes, numerous half-human warriors matched their strength.
"A lord from the Killmat Nobles?" Xiong Wu’s gaze turned much more serious. He then chuckled, "Hahaha, how could a lord from the Killmat Nobles come to such a backwater place like ours? With their background and resources, they have things a thousand times better than the Beast God Pool. Why would they vie for the Beast God Pool with us? You’ve been deceived, haven’t you?"
"Are you doubting my noble identity?" Fang Jueyu stepped forward. With each step, his hair lengthened, becoming puffier, even showing various colors.
"Is...is he really a lord from the Killmat Nobles?" Xiong Hu shivered all over.
Though he had never met anyone from the Killmat Nobles, he had heard that people from the Killmat Nobles had a distinctive feature: when they were enraged, their hair would undergo this transformation.
It would grow longer, puff out, even exude an ethereal quality, and most amazingly, their hair color would change with their mood. If it turned red, it meant they were exceedingly angry inside.
Seeing is believing; now, he half-believed that this young man before him might truly be a lord from the Killmat Nobles!
"Braise, steam, boil, oil stew, thirteen spices, spicy numbing, garlic aroma..." Fang Jueyu said, "Choose a way for yourself to be eaten!"
