After defeating the woman, Tan Yun bent down to take the Qiankun Ring from the corpse.
Upon discovering a considerable amount of Spirit Stones within the Qiankun Ring, he also found a jade tablet.
Controlling his spiritual sense, he entered the jade tablet and found a cultivation method titled "Jade Maiden's Twin Cultivation Classic."
After also collecting a medium-grade magical artifact, a women's longbow, that had fallen next to the corpse, Tan Yun began to observe his surroundings.
All around him were towering ancient trees with a diameter of about ten feet and a height of a thousand meters!
A forest!
"Hmm?" Tan Yun furrowed his brows, sensing the spiritual power within the spirit pool gradually fading away!
There was something strange about this forest!
In the next moment, Tan Yun felt a shiver down his spine as he noticed the rate of spiritual power depletion was increasing, and it seemed as though an unusual force was devouring the spiritual power in the spirit pool, causing it to go wild!
“Crack, crack!”
“Bang, bang, bang…”
At that moment, Tan Yun felt the ground tremble beneath him!
He suddenly turned around to see towering ancient trees thousands of feet away bending and breaking, their leaves swirling in the air, as a massive crimson beast, over a hundred feet tall, charged towards him!
Due to the beast's incredible speed and the fallen leaves obscuring its form after it broke the trees, Tan Yun couldn't immediately discern what kind of demon beast it was!
“Roar!”
Accompanied by a deafening roar, a row of ancient trees in front of Tan Yun, a few dozen feet away, were smashed to pieces by the demon beast.
Tan Yun's pupils contracted sharply, “Second stage tribulation demon beast king: Devouring Spirit Blood Bear!”
In Tan Yun's line of sight, a blood-red demon bear, towering over a hundred feet, appeared just thirty feet away!
As the Devouring Spirit Blood Bear approached, Tan Yun felt the spiritual power in the spirit pool surge uncontrollably from his forehead, diving into the bear's body from a distance!
“Bang!”
The Devouring Spirit Blood Bear raised its paw, slamming it forcefully onto the ground, causing the earth to quake and crack!
Its giant eyes were filled with a fierce glare. Suddenly, it leaped a hundred feet into the air, shaking the void, and pounced down violently towards Tan Yun!
“Big guy, go for it, kill him!”
As Tan Yun's roar echoed, a lion's roar exploded, sending a painful shock through Tan Yun's eardrums.
A beam of golden light shot out from the Spirit Beast Bag hanging at Tan Yun's waist, transforming into a hundred-foot-tall golden dragon spirit lion!
It spread its wings, reaching two hundred feet, and after destroying and breaking through the towering ancient trees, soared into the sky. Its golden-furred front paw shot towards the chest of the Devouring Spirit Blood Bear like lightning!
“Boom—crack!”
A dull thud was accompanied by the chilling sound of bones breaking. The chest of the Devouring Spirit Blood Bear caved in severely, with thick broken bones protruding bloodily from its chest.
“Wuu—”
The Devouring Spirit Blood Bear let out a weak cry akin to a baby's wail as its massive body was sent flying hundreds of feet, crashing down after breaking dozens of giant trees, and with a loud “boom!” it fell lifeless in the forest!
This showcased the gap between a second stage tribulation demon beast and a third stage growth golden dragon spirit lion!
The Devouring Spirit Blood Bear was a king among second stage demon beasts, yet in the face of the golden dragon spirit lion, it was woefully weak!
“Roar!”
The golden dragon spirit lion stepped forward, crouching at Tan Yun's feet.
“Awwoo~”
“Roar~”
“Wuu——”
At that moment, all the demon beasts and wild animals within a ten-mile radius of the forest emitted terrified and trembling sounds, lying prostrate towards the direction of the golden dragon spirit lion!
These second and first stage demon beasts felt a fear that came from the depths of their souls upon sensing the aura of the golden dragon spirit lion!
