Chapter 1043: Returning to Graydusk Fores (2/2)
The moment the Wood Thriving Formation came to form, pure, highly-concentrated wood power started to converge on it from the lush trees in its surroundings.
Compared to the wood power he channeled from wood-attributed spiritual materials, the wood power he received from the Wood Thriving Formation seemed to be easier to absorb and refine.
As he cast the incantation, he also noticed that the Godspirit Tree sapling was rapidly condensing wood power just as his wood power core was doing.
Many years ago, when he had entered Graydusk Forest, he had been apprehensive about the fierce mutant spirit beasts, and hadn’t had the audacity to go too deep into the forest.
Now, many years later, even though he had left the Star Behemoth bone in the starry river outside the Realm of Maelstrom, he had total confidence in killing any mutant spirit beast that dared to attack him.
“As powerful as the mutant spirit beasts here may be, they won’t possibly pose a threat to me now.”
With this thought, he moved from one location to another in Graydusk Forest. Every time he finished absorbing and refining the wood power in a location, he would move deeper into the forest to reestablish the Wood Thriving Formation in locations where the trees were even lusher.
As he did, he indeed encountered a few mutant spirit beasts. However, since they were all at the fourth or fifth grade, he killed them without effort, and used their flesh power to nourish the green aura in his heart.
During this process, both his wood power core and the tiny Godspirit Tree sapling within it were showered with a copious amount of pure wood power.
Two weeks later, his wood power core was refined to its limit.
However, the Godspirit Tree sapling still yearned for more wood power.
“Heavenly Wood Heal body refinement is divided into five stages. I’ve been stuck at stage four, Flesh Tempering, for a long time now.Not only do I need vigorous flesh power to cast Heavenly Wood Heal, but rich wood power as well. Is Graydusk Forest an ideal place for it?
“It’s just that the green aura in my heart has an irrepressible desire for flesh power. I’m afraid that if more flesh power enters my body, it’ll be forcibly channeled away by the green aura, therefore jeopardizing the effect of Flesh Tempering.
“I guess it all comes down to obtaining more high-grade spirit beast meat.”
Sitting in the middle of the Wood Thriving Formation, Nie Tian looked at the seemingly endless Graydusk Forest, his mind drifting away.
He had discovered that the mutant spirit beasts he had killed here were much stronger than normal spirit beasts, and the flesh power they contained turned out to be much richer as well.
A thought suddenly entered his mind.
“The mutant spirit beasts in Graydusk Forest had long since grown adapted to its hostile environment, and developed the ability to strengthen themselves with the tainted spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. If even the outsiders didn’t dare to enter Graydusk Forest back in the day, does it mean there are formidable mutant spirit beasts here?
“If I remember correctly, the outsider invasions had been led by peak seventh grade outsiders like Basto.”
Nie Tian’s interest was suddenly provoked. He decided to put the Wood Thriving Formation on hold, and instead conduct a thorough search of the forest first.
“Even if there are seventh grade mutant spirit beasts here, they’re no threat to me. Instead, they’ll end up materials that will provide me with rich flesh power.”
He summoned the Star Boat and flew towards the depths of Graydusk Forest.
The deeper he got, the taller the trees were, and the richer the wood power and tainted spiritual Qi became.
Every once in a while, fifth and sixth grade mutant spirit beasts would charge out, roaring ferociously.
However, he killed them one by one by relying on nothing but his fleshly strength and the Flame Dragon Armor. Afterwards, he absorbed their flesh power with Life Drain.
ROOOAARRRR!!
A resounding beastly roar suddenly echoed through the forest.
Lands shook and mountains were rocked throughout the entire forest, as if this was a warning to the intruder.
Nie Tian laughed. “Finally, a mutant spirit beast worth killing! Judging from its aura, it should be at the seventh grade.
“No wonder those outsiders didn’t dare to invade this forest. Seventh grade mutant spirit beasts could indeed cause them serious casualties.”
Calm as always, Nie Tian steered the Star Boat towards the source of the roar.
SHEW!
Moments later, the Star Boat descended by a vast lake in the depths of Graydusk Forest. Like miasma, the gray tainted spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth could be seen floating over the murky lake.
The lake covered a very large area. The trees that grew close to it were all more than ten meters tall.
At this moment, a herd of mutant spirit beasts were gathered by the lakeside. Among the sixth grade mutant spirit beasts stood a seventh grade mutant Earthshatter Beast.
