The Ruler Of All
/ The Ruler Of All 23 The Beas
'These maybe some lower-level spirit stones, but they may come in handy.' Zhu Long looked unenthusiastically at the items that he found. He seemed to be unimpressed by the things that he found on the bodies of the demons,'I didn't expect much as they were a scout team but this low number of items are just disappointing. Well, it doesn't matter, I shall continue with my objective of meeting the Village Head.' Zhu Long thought as he started to head towards the East of the Village.
On his way, Zhu Long saw various interesting things. He saw a few areas where the grounds were soaked with blood and carried an aura of death. It seemed like there was a battle here recently. There were also various corpses on the ground of both the Demon and the Human race. Zhu Long saw some lower-ranked cultivators in that battlefield carrying the corpses of the dead humans and bringing them back towards the center of the Village. He sighed, seeing the scene of many dead humans being carried towards their homes probably to their families. Many families will be broken, wives widowed, children orphaned, but this was the harsh truth of war. Those who rise and win the war received such rewards, but at what cost? This was something that many don't want to talk about.
As Zhu Long continued on his journey, he also saw a small scale battle commencing nearby the village border. Various cultivators were fighting for their life. At that moment, the only thing in their mind was kill or be killed. Zhu Long had many impulses to join that battle, but a certain feeling came into his heart that told him not to. He sighed and said to himself, "Let's not be distracted anymore, I need to get to Village leader's residence. I don't know why, but I can't shake the feeling that I'm being watched."
Zhu Long was, in fact, correct, he was being watched by someone, but not the way that he would have expected. He was being watched by spiritual consciousness, something those at the void stage or above can only do that. A spiritual consciousness is to be conscious of spiritual nature. It is a level of awareness beyond the body can ever reach. In simple terms, it is like our spirit is leaving our body. If harmed, it will give a fatal injury to the owner of the spirit. Spiritual consciousness is first gained when one reaches the soul forming stage, but at that level, they can't utilize it at all. Those at the nascent stage have a bit more control over spiritual consciousness, but it would be too weak for them to be able to observe people over long distances.
Zhu Long stopped for a while, it was starting to get dark already. He looked towards the east and spoke, "It seems like there is a forest in the east of the Village, which means I will be facing some demon beasts along the way. *sighs* This will be troublesome."
Zhu Long shook his head and again started his journey.
Demon beasts were powerful beasts found is dense forests. Some demon beasts were extremely weak while some were extremely powerful. Even if they are called demon beasts, they are not exactly demons. The Demon Beasts will attack anything insight as they don't have enough intelligence, hence the reason that humans as well as demons avoid demon beasts.
The further Zhu Long headed east, the denser the forest got. The aura that the forest gave was also very eerie. It seemed like there was something evil hidden within the forest and Zhu Long at his current strength wouldn't be able to survive it.
Zhu Long saw many demon beasts on his way to the Village Leader's residence. But most of them were very weak and had been killed by Zhu Long easily. From time to time, some powerful demon beasts showed up, but again, they were not a problem for him.
As he continued on his way, Zhu Long heard a loud roar. Sensing an unfamiliar aura filled with killing intent, he felt a rush of excitement," This one is powerful!"
Zhu Long roared as he went towards the direction of the beast.
The wild and angry roar came from a large beast which was at least 12 feet tall. It had two large horns and its body resembled that of a tiger. The beast had just killed by some smaller beasts and was feasting on them.
Zhu Long smiled while looking at the beast and jumped towards it while grabbing his Chakram. The beast had immediately noticed Zhu Long's presence and slashed its claws toward the attacking Zhu Long.
*Spurt*
Blood flew in all directions, it has injured Zhu long. There was a huge claw mark on his chest. Zhu Long looked at his wound and again smiled. His Killing intent had increased and his aura started to turn more demonic.

Zhu Long wasn't the only one who received a fatal wound due to the attack but also the beast. It had a deep cut on its stomach. The beast became more wild when it felt the pain of the wound. Its desire to kill Zhu Long became more intense.
Zhu Long and the beast continued to unload a number of attacks on each other, exchanging many blows and also injuries.
An hour passed, the two were still attacking one another. This time, one could see that both the beast and the human were exhausted, suffering from fatigue as well as blood loss. Zhu Long had various deep cuts on his body, even his bones could be seen in some cuts. His clothes were tattered due to the beast's claws.
The beast was also in a similar situation, its body filled with deep cuts, it's fur drenched with blood, the beast was in a very exhausted state, but still, it had fighting spirit, never thinking of surrendering, even if it meant it's death.
Zhu Long saw the beasts fighting spirit and said,"I condemn you for being able to hold on so far, but I feel that I must end this battle quickly, or else, I may have an injury that even the oldie or Old Yang couldn't heal."
"CHAKRAM ART, 5TH FORM: DEATH OF A HUNDRED CUTS!"
Zhu Long used the most powerful attack of the Great Chakram arts, a weapon art similar to the Great Axe Art that Qiang Kuang Tian cultivates.
The Chakram flew in many directions, if someone were to see it, they would have thought that the chakram was flying randomly, but in truth, there was a particular pattern on how the chakram flew, it would strike the beast's body at various vital areas, causing the beast to be unable to move.
'The final strike of the 5th form' Zhu Long thought as he jumped into the sky, grabbing the chakram and slashing towards the beast's neck.
*thump*
The beast's head fell to the ground, followed by its body. After a long and gruesome battle, the beast had finally died. Zhu Long, who was bleeding from all over his body, took out a medicinal pill he found in Elder Kong's storeroom and ate it. As soon as he ate the pill, Zhu Long felt his body becoming more refreshed and his bleeding slowing down. Unfortunately, the pill wasn't as effective as the pills found in the Zhu Clan, if it was, the bleeding would have already been stopped.
Zhu Long smiled, looking at the dead beast in front of him proudly. He noticed something interesting when he looked at the beast's body, within its neck, there was a crystal. Zhu Long's cold face was filled with excitement when he saw the crystal,'This.. This can't be...
