The Way of The Dao

Ling Tian flew quickly over his sword.

He had felt a power comparable to the strength he possessed today, even more so, so he could not help but investigate this incident.

His instincts warned him of something.

He said a quick goodbye to Yun Mengxin and went to the place that was passing some mountains away from the star city.

His spiritual sense scanned the surroundings for that presence.

He quickly found it.

It was a demon beast in the Peak Stage of the Foundation Establishment scenario!

What was strange to him was that, the air seemed to have been distorted, as if space had been torn apart and formed a space crack.

ROAR!

A fierce, horrible roar echoed through the place.

Ling Tian couldn't help but cover his ears a little.

He was in the air above his sword, watching the movement of this demon beast.

This demon beast was in the shape of a giant dog. It was a Hellhound.

How good it seemed to be at its young age. Ling Tian had fought countless demonic and spirit beasts, and had faced Cerberus before. But because he was in the immortal world, those Cerberus had wings and could fly, they even had 5 heads instead of 3.

This Cerberus seemed to have just been born. It didn't even have wings.

Ling Tian knew that if he did not kill this demon beast, he would go straight to the star city. So he couldn't help but get its attention.

He fell silently from the sky as he picked up his sword and threw a cut at the demon beast.

Swoosh!

Clank!

The Cerberus reacted surprisingly to the Ling Tian attack, managing to lift its claws and block the cut with his sword.

Shit!

Its power was comparable to a strong Gold Core scenario.

The Ling Tian's cultivation had only been unlocked and reached the Peak Stage of the Chi Gathering scenario, but because his cultivation essence was immortal essence, he could fight the cultivators at par in the Peak Stage of the Foundation Establishment scenario. It could even fight against the Golden Core scenario.

Ling Tian retreated, taking distance between the demon beast and him.

Fwoosh!

The Cerberus appeared in front of him, opening its 3 mouths with the intention of biting Ling Tian.

Ling Tian quickly dodged to one side as he sent a horizontal cut through his immortal essence.

Bump!

Clank! The cut fell back into one of the claws of the Cerberus, preventing it from hurting its body.

Ling Tian distanced itself again and thought about how to end this demon beast. He did not have the immortal strength required to execute his movements, so he could only form swords of his immortal essence and throw it. If his cultivation was at least at a half step to the Golden Core, he could launch the first strike of his sword attack.

If he launched the first wave of his sword attack, he would drain his energy completely and be weak for a time, enough for that demon beast to kill him.

The Cerberus threw its aura, trying to lock Ling Tian in it.

Fwoosh!

The Cerberus appeared in front of Ling Tian again, this time throwing a claw attack on him.

Since Ling Tian had been distracted by what he had to do, he reacted late and could not dodge in time.

"Argh!"

Although he managed to break the aura that imprisoned him by launching an attack from his sea of knowledge, the claw of the Cerberus still stuck in the part of his left arm, causing him a serious injury. Blood streamed from his arm, staining his entire robe.

His wound began to heal slowly. Ling Tian knew that this was the vitality of the World Tree in his heart, but what was strange to him was that this vitality was very weak and would take time to heal his arm.

He didn't have time to think about it, he had to deal with the Cerberus first.

Ling Tian tried to keep attacking the Cerberus, but he knew that he could not hurt it much and it would take time. The Hellhound defended itself against almost all of his attacks. It was useless to attack without any martial skill to kill the demon beast. It would only waste his energy.

Suddenly, Ling Tian remembered a special attack that could modify it and use it in his current state. The only disadvantage was that it would still drain his strength, leaving him somewhat weak and making it difficult for him to continue defending himself from the attacks of the Hellhound if he failed to kill it.

"I'll have to use that move!"

Ling Tian moved quickly around the Cerberus, avoiding its claws or sharp teeth to hurt him.

He clenched his teeth as he felt the pain in his left arm, but he held on.

Swoosh!

Once the Cerberus showed an opening, Ling Tian pointed to that spot. It was the back, on his left paw.

Slash!

Crack!

Roar!

A deep wound and chunks of flesh and skin flew from the Cerberus's body, forcing it to throw a thunderous roar.

Ling Tian did not stop attacking, when he threw the next cut.

Slash!

Ling Tian suddenly appeared in the middle of the roaring heads, slashing heavily with his sword, splitting it in half and killing one of the three heads of the Hellhound.

GROAR!

The demon beast roared fiercely as it felt the pain Ling Tian was causing it with his blade.

The demon beast threw its claws in the direction of Ling Tian to kill him. He barely managed to dodge the claw, receiving a slight scratch on his skin.

How could he waste the opportunity to continue attacking the beast when it was going mad?

Ling Tian disappeared from where he was, and instantly found himself behind the Cerberus, right next to its right leg.

Slash!

He slashed diagonally at its leg, cutting it off in an instant.

The next second, he appeared on the left side of the Cerberus, slashing the left front leg.

ROAR!

The Cerberus screamed horribly, as blood and mince flew around it.

Its tail tried to grab Ling Tian, but by the time it reached its left bow, he was no longer there.

Ling Tian teleported to the right side, cutting off his right front leg with his sword, causing the Cerberus to fall to the ground as he had nothing to lean on.

Fwoosh!

He returned to the left rear, finishing off the missing hind leg correctly.

If someone were to watch from the sky, one could see that Ling Tian's attack pattern formed a five-pointed star, starting from the left rear.

"Let's get this over with." Ling Tian snorted with exhaustion as he stood on top of the demon beast.

Swoosh!

Slash!

Ling Tian launched a final strike containing seven consecutive attacks with all his remaining immortal strength towards the body of the Hellhound, managing to make a large hole in half of its body, while destroying its internal organs, taking its life instantly.

Roar!

The Cerberus roared out weakly for the last time before it died completely.

Haaah!

Ling Tian gasped as he threw himself to the ground. He felt that he was about to faint, so he did not hesitate and entered his little world to recover and avoid being disturbed by any demon beast.

A slight, unnoticeable transparent core fell to the floor. This was the little world in his Dantian.

Outside lay the mangled, bloody body of a demon beast that should not appear on that lower plane.
