Chapter 1140: Amberal-Armored Armadillos (1/2)

Davis became flabbergasted as he heard the armadillo magical beast's scream. It screamed like Dio, but it was a high pitched voice!

He recognized it as the Amberal-Armored Armadillo, a Sky Rank Species present on this island. The yellow-colored armored-shell they have on their back appeared to be like amber, making it similar to an ore called Amberal as it is used in forging armors and a few other items.

With their armor, it was possible to make armors that ranged from Earth Grade to King Grade depending on the armadillo it was harvested from. After all, magical beasts grow to maturity from infancy, and their armors, other parts of their body, grow along with them.

It instantly burrowed deep into the ground, disappearing from their sight. Since the Amberal-Armored Armadillo appeared to be just a juvenile, Davis possessed no hostility towards it. His targets were Seventh Stage Magical Beasts, particularly Peak-Level Lord Beast Stage Magical Beasts. Only these magical beasts could provide the soul essences he required.

Of course, if a few lower level and lower stage magical beasts tried to attack him, he didn't mind treating them as training materials.

Compared to real martial arts experts, Davis was aware that he could not compare with them with just his battle instincts. All this time, he just had the superiority in cultivation so he could send his opponents flying as he liked, but it wouldn't go the same way against people who have the same cultivation base and prowess as him. They would've participated in so many battles that they would instantly react to any attack before being able to easily land a counter on him.

He had less battle experience compared to them, but it was unlikely that he would die as he had many trump cards. Nevertheless, he liked to use his own power instead of relying on Fallen Heaven all the time. Not only would it make him exhilarated, but it also served to boost his own confidence.

Davis wryly smiled as he turned his head to look towards Nadia as the Peak-Level Spirit Beast Stage Magical Beast escaped.

”I apologize, Master. I was too distracted.”

Nadia closed her eyes, and her King Beast Stage undulations were retracted while her magical beast aura receded to a bare minimum. Only if someone came near to her or used their sense intentionally on her would they be able to discover that she was not a human but a Low-Level King Beast Stage Magical Beast!

”It's alright.”

”But, Master... Who is Dio?” Nadia tilted her head in confusion.

”Uhh...” Davis recalled that he shouted it out. He chuckled, ”Just a fictional character from the place I came from...”

Nadia blinked in response. She had no concept of what a fictional character is, and Davis instantly recognized that she didn't comprehend.

”Just think of Dio as a mythical beast...”

”Oh! A mythical beast... That magical beast known as Dio must be powerful...” Nadia nodded her head in interest.

”Haha...” Davis awkwardly chuckled, ”Yeah... rumors say that Dio is an undying mythical beast...”

Nadia's golden pupils shone, ”Undying! I want to become one too...”

Davis smiled.

Undying... to be an Immortal. It was probably the wish of every living creature in the cultivation world.

”Then, you find someplace and start to absorb the Peak-Level Spirit Stones. Meanwhile, I'm going to kill their boss.” Davis turned around and walked away.

Nadia squinted her attractive brows as the crescent mark on her forehead became conspicuous, ”No. I have to protect Master until I am sure that there is no remaining threat on this island.”

”Don't be restrictive. This Alstreim Thunder Island is the safest island out of the hundred and eight islands. There are only Peak-Level Lord Beast Stage Magical Beasts and lesser level magical beasts here, and they rarely fly to other islands as they have their own territory to guard. Just be rest assured and absorb energy. I'll come back as soon as I finish hunting their boss.”

Davis flew away as he spoke, leaving Nadia hanging with her lips slightly parted.

The next moment, she bit her lips and sat down, instantly taking out a few thousand Peak-Level Spirit Stones to refine!

Unrefined yet pure heaven and earth energy brushed her figure as it spread to the surroundings. Nadia's adorable nose slightly twitched as she sniffed the unique fragrance coming from the thousands of Peak-Level Spirit Stones surrounding her.

It attracted numerous magical beasts as those armadillos hiding in the ground peeked out with crazy red eyes. Davis also saw them, but he didn't bother and continued walking away with a smile on his face, his lips moving.

”It is impossible to hide ones' undulations while cultivating...”

A dark mass of energy suddenly engulfed the Peak-Level Spirit Stones, starting to refine it. Simultaneously, Nadia's undulations that were hidden concurrently erupted, startling the magical beasts that peeked out of their burrows.

Their expressions were a sight to see as they had their mouths wide in fear before they fell back into their hold, never to appear again. After all, what they were facing was a King Beast Stage Magical Beast. Just a strand of Nadia's undulation was enough to make them stiff in fear, so what needs to be said when they were completely showered in it?

Nadia paid no heed to these weaklings as she closed her eyes and continued to refine the heaven and earth energy with her dark energy. It brought the refined energy to her body, absorbing it through her pores before they all traveled to her head through her meridian pathways.

Yes, magical beasts have meridians as well, but they don't possess a dantian. Their energy comes from their flesh and body, so their cultivation can be considered as Body Tempering Cultivation when compared to the three cultivation systems of humans.
