The inherent differences between Monster Beasts and the Human Race are fundamental. Even though both rely on absorbing Spiritual Power from the world to become stronger, their evolutionary paths have essential differences. Human beings are naturally weak, with newborns at risk if removed from their parents’ care. Even matured human bodies don’t stand out in comparison to beasts in physical capabilities without deliberate martial arts training. Even if you are a child of a saint, neglecting martial training would still leave you a fragile commoner.

But, Monster Beasts are different. The stronger the beast, the stronger the offspring it produces. Some powerful beasts like dragons can hunt small animals when they are still young to become self-sufficient. The powerfulness of a Monster Beast is directly related to its race.

Even the most powerful snake monster evolved to its limit would only be on par with the weakest Dragon Clan. Simply by looking at a Monster Beast’s race, we can deduce its potential. Even during the time when ancient monsters were wreaking havoc, there were no underprivileged races. Even the likes of Blood God, a one-in-a-billion genius among monsters, was finally defeated by Dragon King, showing the power gap determined by race.

The Beast Taming Sect once published a book in Zhongzhou about spirit beasts, revered as a classic by the strong. It not only introduced various types of monsters but also dissected the parts that make up monster strength, teaching human martial artists how to fight against spirit beasts and wild beasts.

The book detailed a theory. Even though the souls of Monster Beasts and humans are both manifestations of the spirit, their strengths differ greatly. This is why, before entering the Fierce Realm, humans are weaker than even the most common spirit beasts, but after entering the Fierce Realm, they can catch up.

From birth, Monster Beasts have their souls attached to their bodies. The absorbed Spiritual Power not only strengthens their bodies but also nourishes their souls. Hence, beasts at all levels are granted the strength of the soul. This is why human martial artists before the Fierce Realm find it difficult to counter the spirit beasts’ natural Spirit Art. However, this simultaneous evolution of the soul and the beast body makes the progress of beast levels very slow. Many powerful Demon Races even need hundreds of years of accumulation to break through the shackles of the spirit beast and achieve the level of a wild beast.

As for the martial arts practiced by the Human Race, any proficiency level taken out, as long as the supply of resources for the practitioner is guaranteed, advancing from an ordinary person to the Fierce Realm level could be achieved within fifty years of hard practice. This is the fundamental reason why humans can eventually overcome the Demon Race.

If human cultivation is likened to a struggle against nature, the strength of Monster Beasts is a natural course of action. It’s hard to say which is stronger, but at least in this world, the Human Race has become the master.

The three Monster Beasts that Milu catalyzed with his soul-sacrificing ability undeniably possessed the strength of wild beasts. If it were a straightforward battle, even if Tang Luo tried every trick in the book, he would not be able to defeat them as wild beasts have immense vitality. Even Innate Qi blessed with divine medicine wouldn’t effectively harm these beasts. Using a seal formula can at most kill one wild beast, the remaining two would then tear him, who has less than half of his Spiritual Power left, to pieces.

However, since Tang Luo dared to challenge Milu to a fight to the death, he must have factored in the three wild beasts. When it comes to battles, especially ones where his life is on the line, he could not rely on courage or impulsiveness alone, for he strongly agreed with one principle — the key to victory is not absolute strength, but more often, the level of preparation.

From the start of the battle until now, every move of Milu’s was within Tang Luo’s calculations, as if he had rehearsed them a million times. Based on the four strong bloodline abilities developed by Son Chu, Tang Luo had designed a countermeasure for each and every one of them and only after he had fully understood all of Milu’s tricks and abilities did he choose a spirit hammer from the treasure house to challenge him in Jianglin.

The only obstacle now standing in the way of him killing Milu were the three wild beasts, but this obstacle would be gone shortly!

The Yin-Yang Grinding in the mouth of the Red Moon Golden Flame Tiger captured the wild beast’s soul in an instant. The seemingly sturdy Monster Beast’s soul did not resist and was rolled into the black-and-white grind plate by the Yin-Yang Grinding. With the force of Innate Qi, the massive two-colored grinding plate easily crushed the wild beast’s soul, creating an effect even easier than crushing spirit beasts’ souls.

Just as Tang Luo predicted, due to the evolution through sacrificial rituals, even though spirit beasts could evolve rapidly into wild beasts thanks to Milu’s ability, each sacrificial strengthening of a spirit beast also left the beast lacking something — the solidity and robustness of the soul. The soul of a wild beast, forcibly aggregated from countless soul forces, gives the illusion of limitless battle strength, when in fact, it is incredibly fragile.

The Red Moon Golden Flame Tiger, whose soul had been crushed, was still alive, but had lost its vitality. Retaining only some instinctive bodily reactions and metabolism, it had lost all action capabilities, let alone its attack abilities. Its fearsome appearance of biting only worried the crowd, who thought that the silver giant and the wild beast were in a stalemate.

Because Milu didn’t have just one wild beast. The Iron Winged Hawk, which had been circling in the sky, saw the giant and the tiger in a stalemate, seized the moment, flapped its wings, and gathered a crazy amount of Spiritual Power. A giant wind blade appeared at the heart of the eagle. As the wings came together, it roared toward the silver giant’s head, carrying an overwhelming desire to cut everything in its path.

The crowd saw the silver giant still in a deadlock with the Red Moon Golden Flame Tiger, with the killing intent already upon him.

The Sky Overlord that had swung out the giant wind blade didn’t stay in one place. With the green wind blade dropping sharply, it plunged down. The sharp eagle beak, wrapped in green light like a long knife, could penetrate even a solid armor, let alone the giant’s flesh.

With only two beasts on the field, the silver giant, who had just easily beaten Milu, was now at serious risk. His right arm was bitten by the Red Moon Golden Flame Tiger. Above him hung a huge green wind blade and the life-taking attack of the Sky Overlord.

Standing on the top of the Luan, Milu’s face flushed with excitement. Nothing could excite him more than seeing his enemy die before his very eyes. Son Chu’s eyes were full of bloodlust as he watched the giant wind blade slash downward towards the giant’s head.
