Chapter 25: Challenging the Hundred Tribes

The Leopard Tribe’s territory occupied the center of the northern part of the Wind Pavilion Continent and also possessed the Primordial Heavenly Veins.
At this moment, Lei Ling, Lei Kong, Shui Kong, and Cang Yang arrived unimpeded at the edge of the Leopard Tribe’s territory.
The four of them were puzzled.
“Strange. Ever since we killed the Iron-Clawed Blue Crow, it seems none of the monsters on the Wind Pavilion Continent have tried to stop us,” Lei Ling said solemnly after landing.
The smoother things went, the more worried they became. As a monster, Lei Ling was naturally suspicious.
“I find it strange too. Logically, the further we fly toward the center of the continent, the stronger the monster tribes we should encounter. Could it be that the monster tribes here already know our strength?” Shui Kong said doubtfully.
Cang Yang narrowed his eyes, shook his head, and smiled, “Our master just asked us to come to the Leopard Tribe’s territory. Now that we’ve completed our task, our master will have plans for what comes next. We don’t need to worry.”
Hearing this, Lei Ling, Lei Kong, and Shui Kong’s expressions brightened, and they relaxed immediately.
“That’s right. You don’t need to wonder why no monsters are attacking you. I already know the plans of the monster tribes on the Wind Pavilion Continent.”
Qu Yi suddenly appeared and laughed.
“Master!”
Lei Ling, Lei Kong, Shui Kong, and Cang Yang immediately called out respectfully.
Qu Yi waved his hand and said with a smile, “You four rest for now. Once I enter the Primordial Heavenly Veins, we’ll confront the monsters of the Wind Pavilion Continent together.”
With the Abnormal Immortal Perception of the Artifact God, the entire Tianxian Star was within his range of detection. Naturally, the meeting of the hundred monster tribes didn’t escape the Artifact God’s ears, so Qu Yi knew their plans as well.
In an instant, Lei Ling, Lei Kong, Shui Kong, and Cang Yang were taken into the Dimensional Sphere along with Qu Yi.
Not long after they disappeared, a ten-meter-long, robust Flowing Shadow Leopard rushed over.
“Huh? I sensed five monster auras just now. How did they disappear so quickly? Could those alien powerhouses have already arrived in our Leopard Tribe’s territory?” the Flowing Shadow Leopard muttered.
After wandering around for a while, it left in confusion.
Of course, the Flowing Shadow Leopard didn’t notice that a speck of dust had landed in its ear and was following it toward the central area of the Leopard Tribe’s territory.
Ten days later.
The Flowing Shadow Leopard, carrying the Dimensional Sphere, arrived at a group of caves, which was the location of a branch of the Leopard Tribe.

“Liuzhuo, have you noticed any traces of alien powerhouses?” Just as the Flowing Shadow Leopard reached the entrance of the cave, one of the leopards guarding it asked.

At present, almost all the beast races on the Wind Pavilion Continent were on high alert, monitoring the movements of Qu Yi and the others. Naturally, the movements of Lei Ling and the others were also under the watch of all races. Moreover, all the five-star Tianpo beast powerhouses now knew that Lei Ling and the others had arrived in the Leopard Clan’s territory. Once the Leopard Clan found them, all the five-star Tianpo beasts on the Wind Pavilion Continent would emerge together to ambush them.

The Flowing Shadow Leopard replied immediately, “No.”

Then, it entered the cave.

At that moment, the Dimensional Ball flew out of the Flowing Shadow Leopard’s ear and headed straight for the Origin Vitality Cave guarded by the Leopard Clan.

※※※

The Origin Vitality Path on Tianxian Star contained significantly more primal energy than that on Tianjiu Star.

The Dimensional Ball flew nonstop for a month before reaching the deepest part of the Origin Vitality Path.

Qu Yi emerged.

“The Artifact God said there are two thousand Spirit Essences in this Origin Vitality Path. It’s really unexpected,” Qu Yi said with a sigh after dropping a Soul Compass. Then he took out the Boundless Star Chart.

The next moment, Qu Yi arrived at the Origin Vitality Cave on Tiansu Star in the Shuiyang Star Region.

“Lingkong, I’m here,” Qu Yi called out smilingly as he appeared.

The tall red Lingkong Tree in front of him immediately shrank to ten meters in height.

“Qu Yi, you’re here again. Have you found another Origin Vitality Path?” The tree’s core sent a thought his way.

For the Lingkong Tree, which was already addicted to capturing Spirit Essences, its greatest interest was for Qu Yi to keep searching for more Origin Vitality Paths, so it would have something to do.

Qu Yi nodded and smiled, “Lingkong, you’re so smart. You guessed it right away. Shrink quickly and come with me to another Origin Vitality Path.”

In an instant, the Lingkong Tree became one meter tall, and its core floated out.

Qu Yi smiled as he put the core and the tree into the Dimensional Ball, then activated the Boundless Star Chart to return to the Origin Vitality Path on Tianxian Star.

“Lingkong, come out. It’s time for you to show your skills again,” Qu Yi exclaimed happily after releasing the tree.

Immediately, the Lingkong Tree plunged deep into the ground and grew rapidly, filling the entire cave with red light.

“Qu Yi, just wait for my good news,” the tree’s core sent a confident thought.

Qu Yi nodded, then took out the Boundless Star Chart and left the Origin Vitality Cave.

※※※
On the Wind Pavilion Continent, there are a hundred beast races.
Each beast race has several leaders at the Tianpo Beast level, and the supreme leader of each race possesses the cultivation of a Five-Star Tianpo Beast.
At this moment, the supreme leaders of all hundred beast races have gathered in the Leopard Clan’s territory, assembling at the Leaf Tree on Gathering Beast Peak.
The one who called them together was Liu Feng, the chief of the Flowing Shadow Leopard Clan.
Since the last meeting where he gathered the leaders of all races, Liu Feng had ordered them to inform their respective supreme leaders to come, and now all the strongest beings on the Wind Pavilion Continent had finally gathered.
On the leaves of the Leaf Tree, a total of 102 Tianpo Beasts sat on various leaves. Among these 102 powerful beings, three were actually Flowing Shadow Leopards, representing the strength of the Leopard Clan as a whole.
Liu Feng scanned the crowd with his stern eyes and said calmly, “As you all know, there are four powerful beings from another planet—three of them at the Five-Star Tianpo Beast level, and one at the Four-Star Tianpo Beast level. Now, these four have arrived in our Leopard Clan’s territory. Once we locate them, follow me as we surround and attack them together.”
Liu Feng had been keeping track of the movements of Lei Ling, Lei Kong, Shui Kong, and Cang Yang. Of course, he never expected that the true mastermind behind them was Qu Yi.
Inside the Dimensional Sphere, it was impossible for the beasts of the Wind Pavilion Continent to discover Qu Yi at all.
“Yes, Commander,” replied the supreme leaders of all races in unison.
Satisfied, Liu Feng nodded and smiled, saying, “I promise here that whoever kills one of these alien powerful beings will grant their race one free chance to enter the Origin Vital Veins.”
“Ah…”
The supreme leaders were filled with surprise.
It turned out that, aside from the Leopard Clan, all other beast races on the Wind Pavilion Continent had to pay a significant amount of treasures or Yuan Beast Stones if they wanted to advance from the level of Upper Soul Beasts to One-Star Tianpo Beasts, or if Tianpo Beast warriors wanted to improve their cultivation and enter the Origin Vital Veins.
Now, upon hearing this news, the supreme leaders were naturally overjoyed.
“There are only three Five-Star Tianpo Beasts and one Four-Star Tianpo Beast among those alien powerful beings. No matter what, I must kill one of them to secure a chance for my clan to enter the Origin Vital Veins.”
The supreme leaders of each race made up their minds.
Seeing their determined expressions, Liu Feng was confident that these leaders would go all out and attack the alien powerful beings without hesitation.

“Everyone, let’s wait for news now,” Liu Feng said calmly as he waved his hand.
The scene immediately settled down.
In this peaceful atmosphere, a gentle breeze continued to blow on Juyao Peak. A speck of dust drifted through the air, heading straight toward Liu Feng.
Liu Feng kept his eyes closed, seemingly already settled, and naturally paid no attention to the dust floating in the air.
The dust reached about a meter away from Liu Feng.
“Haha, you beasts want to kill me at your gathering? Then I’ll kill your leader first!”
Qu Yi suddenly appeared, his Haotian Sword already brimming with the power of the Fire World. Along with his voice, the sword swung downward.
The power of the Fire World condensed into a red flaming sword that struck straight at Liu Feng’s head.
“No…”
Realizing the danger, Liu Feng opened his eyes just in time to see the flaming sword coming. He hurriedly tried to use his demonic essence to defend himself, but it was already too late.
The flaming sword split Liu Feng in two.
Yet Liu Feng was brave and decisive. Knowing he couldn’t resist the flaming sword, he sent out his Soul Flower, aiming for the other two Shadow Leopards, hoping to get their help to save his Soul Flower.
As long as the Soul Flower remained alive, Liu Feng could recover his body using the energy of his primal veins.
“Still trying to escape? You have no chance,” Qu Yi laughed loudly.
In an instant, Shui Kong appeared. With a wave of his hands, the space where Liu Feng’s Soul Flower was flying turned into void, trapping the Soul Flower in place.
In the blink of an eye, Shui Kong tightened the void, enclosing Liu Feng’s Soul Flower and handing it over to Qu Yi.
Qu Yi immediately put Liu Feng’s Soul Flower into his Dimension Ball.
“Pet, back to the bag!” Qu Yi shouted, holding his Haotian Sword.
Soon after, Shui Kong disappeared as well.
Of course, Qu Yi deliberately shouted that to deceive the leader of the Hundred Clans, making them think Shui Kong had entered the pet bag, so they wouldn’t suspect he possessed a spatial treasure.
It all happened in an instant, leaving the leader of the Hundred Clans no time to react.
“Ah, leader…”
“You’re that alien warrior! Release the leader’s Soul Flower right now!”
“Bastard! How dare you come to our Juyao Peak alone? You really want to die!”
“That can’t be right. According to our intelligence, there are four alien warriors. Where did you come from?”
…
The leader of the Hundred Clans stood up abruptly, shouting in anger, but none of them dared attack Qu Yi.

These supreme leaders immediately formed their own plans regarding what had just happened. First, Liu Feng had been suppressing the development of all races, and now that the Soul Flower of Liu Feng was under control, he was likely to fall. In that case, the Leopard Race would have no strong one to suppress the other races, allowing them to equally enjoy the Primordial Heavenly Veins. Second, having seen Qu Yi’s strength—his ability to slay a Liu Feng at the Six-Star Heavenly Soul Fiend level with a single sword—none of them dared to act first, fearing being targeted by Qu Yi, as death would be unwise.

Upon hearing what the supreme leaders said, Qu Yi realized that none of them intended to attack him, so he burst into laughter. “You bastards! Since you’re not attacking me, then I’ll attack you.”
