Chapter 58: The Strongest Martial Path
Furious Beast, as the name suggests, is a beast of fury and slaughter. It does not belong to the living or the spirits, but rather an extraordinary existence that condenses one's own spirit, thoughts, emotions, and strong beliefs, manifesting from the holder's spiritual world. Once this thought form takes shape and is attached to the holder, it can unleash immense power. Matching its abilities, it can almost instantly increase your strength by 10 times. The King of Diamond Beasts claims to be invincible, able to withstand any elemental magic attack, even immune to spiritual soul impacts, all thanks to the Furious Beast thought form. Ordinary elemental beasts that encounter such a powerful existence with an unrivaled body and Furious Beast thought form can only flee in panic or be torn apart. Even most super magical beasts do not dare face this slaughter-prone, terrifying monster.
Of course, not all demons have the potential to condense their spiritual world's powerful thoughts and manifest them. This only exists among super-ability type demons, and this ability is not common even among high-ranking demons with a strong physique. It can be said that it is extremely rare.
If the elemental system's magical beasts were compared to human world's magicians, then the superpower system's armored magical beasts would undoubtedly be warriors. Only these magical beasts that rely on their physical strength to fight and engage in close combat with their natural enemies can temper their will day after day, year after year. They can forge their spirit, thoughts, and emotions into a single entity through intense training. They can manifest the thought form from their spiritual world through such strong beliefs! However, not every swordsman has the earth-shaking swordsmanship that is so fast it intoxicates people, making them unable to extricate themselves. Among these magical beasts, there are also differences in natural talent and opportunities. In the end, only a few can succeed. These magical beasts are also known as king beasts!
At first, the mid-tier King Kong beast was being tracked by the High Priest and his gang. In fact, it was discovered by the sharp-eyed High Priest that this beast had extraordinary qualities, and he believed that with his own cultivation, it would definitely become a top-notch Overlord body, condensing into a Fierce Beast. Originally, they were planning to secretly observe it until it evolved, then assist it in its progress, and afterwards easily sign a contract with it, subjugating it. Unfortunately, in the end, it was killed by Old Liu.
On the way back to the tribe, the high priest told Old Liu about the origin and power of the Furious Beast. There were many implicit meanings in his words, and he repeatedly emphasized its incredible strength and the shocking power it contained. He spoke eloquently, but his goal was to pique Old Liu's interest and get him to take this thing back for himself. However, as Old Liu listened to the high priest's words, his concerns grew heavier. Not only did he not express any intention of developing in that direction, but his eyebrows were also furrowed into a "川" shape, and he even said with a bitter smile: "This thing is indeed powerful, but it also affects one's emotions and consciousness. If you're not careful, there's even the possibility of being controlled by it, losing command of your own body. Such an unstable thing, I have no way to control it, so I'm not worthy of possessing it."
The high priest looked up and down at Old Liu for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "Although this thought body is from your physical body, it belongs to the bloodline of King Kong Beast that has awakened. But what supports its manifestation is an unyielding faith, which means that the appearance of this Jiao beast actually originated from you. When the head was separated and appeared, in your mind, there were already seeds of these gathered thoughts. Even if I extract it now and destroy it, as long as your faith in your heart does not collapse and your physical body still exists, the combined body of these thoughts can awaken at any time."
"This can't be happening, right? What's going on?" Old Liu almost choked and said with a pale face: "I never thought I'd become a mental patient."
"I've figured it out. You're a thorough and utter lazybones. As soon as you encounter any trouble, you think of ways to escape." The high priest shook his head and sighed: "Although human nature is like this, but some things, since they have appeared on your body, can't be avoided by you."
Lao Liu's face was bitter, and he said weakly: "You also said that those magical beasts that can condense into fierce beasts are extremely murderous monsters, not much different from the abyssal and purgatorial variant creatures. How can you still let me take risks?"
The Grand Priest said, "This is your own misunderstanding, don't blame me for it. To tread the path of evolution with just your physical body, without relying on external objects, and to cut down everything with just your heart's conviction, breaking through space - such power is naturally one of the most difficult paths among thousands of evolutionary routes. The road ahead is fraught with danger, and many weaklings will be eliminated along the way. But those who can reach that step, which ones will be unknown and unremarkable? Do you know that in the human world, warriors who embody this intention are what kind of powerful existence? They refuse to follow the crowd, instead fusing this intention with their own abilities, tempering it into a fundamental force. With just a turn of their minds, they can cleave through high mountains and cut off rivers. In the depths of their cultivation, they can even break open the elemental bodies condensed by the gods, directly attacking their souls and slaying them. What a powerful existence this is! In the past, the Spider Queen was able to single-handedly kill three heavenly gods with her overwhelming power, which was precisely due to her mastery of this path. And you have such good fortune, with coincidences and opportunities converging to give birth to this unparalleled, strongest martial path. Yet you don't cherish it - isn't this just like burying your natural talent?"
Lao Liu, however, was not moved by the high priest's passionate speech and instead lowered his head, muttering to himself: "Old guy, you're at it again. You make it sound so good, but can you come up with a feasible plan for once? Anyone can spout theory, I also know that atomic bombs release energy through nuclear fission and fusion, one bomb can destroy a city... even the almighty gods you people worship would be no match for it. But knowing is useless, I don't know how to make one..."
"A guy without ambition is hopeless." The high priest glanced at Old Liu with a slanted gaze, finding that he was as wooden as ever after hearing his words, not even reacting in the slightest. This made the high priest feel quite depressed. At the same time, he was also deliberating and hesitating: should he really pass it on to him? Although the ancestors' rules couldn't be changed, he was just a demon insect, and one of their tribe's totem beasts at that - passing it on to him wouldn't exactly be violating the rules... Muta, having come this far, what are you still afraid of? Think about it: condensing the Furious Beast's supreme body, the most powerful thunder force among elemental abilities, the magma power that lies between destruction and rebirth... these three terrifying abilities, taking the war god book left behind by our ancestors as their foundation. As long as they're smelted into one entity, they can transform into a demon god body, capable of slaying gods and demons - what in the world could rival it?! This opportunity only comes once; you must grasp it firmly!
The old man looked around strangely, hesitated for a moment, and then his whole body shook violently, appearing somewhat excited. The young priest thought the old man was having some kind of episode and asked anxiously: "What's wrong?"
"No, I'm fine." The high priest's mouth curled up in a cold smile as he glanced at Old Liu, who was carrying the Thunder King and looked rather pleased with himself. He said resolutely, "It's settled then, you can't escape now."
