Chapter 278 Preparing For A Breakthrough
Once Davis glanced at the yellow-striped tiger for a moment, he extended his other hand and wrote with his finger that was clad with soul force.
[
Guro
Dies of heart failure
]
Once he wrote the name of the Magical Beast and the cause of the death with soul force, a voice of doubt emerged from his mind, "Say, do you really think Magical Beasts of this stage can die of heart failure?"
"They do... The way my power works is through the soul. As long as an entity has a soul, it is in my ability to deal with it."
"Besides, unlike a cultivator, this magical beast cannot use its soul separately and extricate from its fleshy body"
"So, next time, instead of writing down the cause of death, you should just leave it to me. I will take care of their deaths unless you require their deaths to happen in a unique way!"
"I, as a mysterious entity, have never encountered something that I was ever stumped within my lifetime, not even once...." Fallen Heaven said with its voice filled with a majestic tone.
Davis nodded and looked at the yellow-striped tiger with a curious gaze.
Suddenly, the tiger trembled and fell over the tree, plummeting to the ground with sheer force.
*Boom!~*
Cracks emerged on the green surface at the place where the tiger fell, but it did not die and was still twitching as it clawed the ground as if it was grasping its waning life.
Davis heard the low moans that were emitted from its mouth and could practically feel it's confusion and fear in that voice.
He slightly shook his head, removing the thoughts of feeling apologetic from his head and flew towards it.
As he closed in on it, its body which was twitching slowly stopped and the light in its eyes which were faintly glowing disappeared rapidly.
Instantly, he absorbed its Soul Essence and dug out its core from its head and stored it inside his spatial ring. As for the corpse, he also stored it in his spatial ring after a moment of contemplation.
He had seen a magical beast turn into a human with his own eyes, so the way he looked at them has also undergone a slight change.
He thought of burying the body but unlike a human body, it had value. So, he decided to take it with him.
But that was from a different point of view since he didn't know about the usages of the body of a human cultivator.
That said, right after he stored both of the things into his spatial ring, his eyes glowed with excitement.
"Fallen Heaven, you really are my lucky star..."
"Without you, I would need to give it my all to battle this Magical Beast and yet, you could take them down in a second. I wonder what your limit is..."
"My limit is your limit... Get stronger if you want to kill even stronger enemies..."
"Hahaha! Alright, with this and a few more Low-Level Grand Beast Stage Souls, I will definitely be able to break into the Elder Soul Stage!"
"Stop getting excited each time your cultivation improves, it is getting on my nerves...." Fallen Heaven replied in an annoyed tone, but a second later, it also laughed eerily with him.
The more he got stronger, the more it felt exciting to it.
...
Two days later, Davis moved back to the foot of a hill. It was quite some kilometers away from the place where he killed the Low-Level Grand Beast Stage Tiger, in the region between the outer and inner region of the Tyrannical Blue Ape Mountainous Range.
During these two days, he successfully hunted two more Low-Level Grand Beast Stage Magical Beasts and absorbed their souls.
One of them was an enormous eagle and the other one was a blue striped snake.
Those two magical beasts were fighting each other but due to the commotion they made and the destruction caused made other Magical Beasts in the vicinity run for their lives.
Seeing it as an opportunity, Davis hunted them down with his own strength when both of them were in a deadlock and were unable to extricate themselves. They were entangled with each other trying to gain the upper hand while biting and scratching.
Blood splashed in an instant and it flowed like a river. It only took a single swing of his Scythe at the right time to sever both of their heads from the magical beasts. He used his complete power and invoked all buffs he could from the layers of the Body Tempering Cultivation Method; Tyrant Body Secrets.
After absorbing their soul essences and storing their cores and carcasses, he returned to the foot of the hill.
Seeing that it was relatively safe, he looked at the mountain wall and smiled as he clenched his fists.
*Boom!~*
An explosion resounded out as a wide hole formed on the mountain wall.
Davis punched again as he condensed his battle aura. The hole kept getting bigger and bigger as if he was excavating the place.
Finally, Davis stood inside the hole and nodded his face in satisfaction as he said, "I finally created my own cultivation cave!"
Exclaiming so, he moved to each corner and set up a concealment formation. Setting it up in a few minutes, he set up a defensive formation next.
Both of those two formations were of Mid-Level Sky Grade, meaning that he could hide and defend himself from High-Level to Peak-Level Grand Beast Stage Magical Beasts!
These two formations were bought by him when he went shopping with Natalya. These formations cost him about 50,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones and he felt that it was enough for this trip.
He only knew how to set them up and its uses like any other cultivator who purchased them with an instruction manual. As for understanding them, he understood nothing about its working or making.
After completing this process, he activated this concealment formation which enveloped the cave.
A glow of light flashed through the cave before it disappeared. He smiled as he knew the concealment formation had been activated successfully.
A second later, he activated the defense formation which emitted energy ripples all over the cave.
'Good thing I already knew this would happen...' Davis thought to himself as he let out a sigh.
If he had changed the order of activation, the ripples might have attracted some Magical Beasts which he would have been unable to fight.
In that case, he could only turn tail and flee for his life if a Sixth Stage Magical Beast was attracted by this little mistake.
Davis shook his head of that thought and moved to the center of the cave as he sat down crossed legged.
