Demon Beasts at the Innate Realm are terrifying existences that are completely unbeatable for anyone below the Innate Realm.

Even Wang Ruoxie has no confidence in confronting them.

Therefore, when he sensed the presence of that Innate Realm Earth Demon Bear, he dared not hesitate and fled into the distance with Xiao Ningyue.

Zong Yuzhe, Tang Liren, and other members of the East Victory Kingdom, though not yet understanding what had occurred, knew that Wang Ruoxie would not scare them for no reason, so they too quickly scattered and fled.

As for the others who had not yet reacted, the Innate Realm Earth Demon Bear appeared.

"Roar..."

Looking at the pile of flesh on the ground, the Innate Realm Earth Demon Bear roared to the sky with what seemed like endless grief.

Clearly, there must have been an unusual relationship between this Innate Realm Earth Demon Bear and the one that had been killed by the group.

"Rumble..."

The next instant, accompanied by a series of loud noises, immense earthy yellow breaths spewed out from the mouth of the Earth Demon Bear, continuously exploding among the crowd.

"Ah..."

Cries of agony sounded one after another, and flesh and blood scattered everywhere. In an instant, at least dozens of people were blasted to death.

With no room for hesitation, Xiahou Lie, Lin Jingfeng, and others pushed their speed to the limit and scattered in all directions to escape.

In the face of the Innate Realm Earth Demon Bear, they stood no chance, even if everyone joined forces, it would still be impossible.

For some reason, the Demon Beasts in this small world seemed to be stronger than those outside. For instance, the Earth Demon Bear was at least several times stronger than the ones outside.

"Roar!"

Seeing everyone flee, the Earth Demon Bear let out a furious roar and then casually chose a direction to chase after.

The choice to scatter and flee was because everyone knew that if they gathered in one place, the final result would be total annihilation.

By fleeing in all directions, no matter which direction the Earth Demon Bear chased, those escaping in the other directions would be safe.

As for those in the direction being chased, they could only consider themselves unlucky.

...

At this moment, Wang Ruoxie and Xiao Ningyue had already reached a dense forest,

The two proceeded cautiously, naturally discovering that the Demon Beasts here were much stronger than those outside, so they dared not be careless.

"Tweet..."

At that moment, a crisp bird cry suddenly echoed, followed by the sight of a dark shadow flying from the front.

This shadow was actually a gigantic bird, its entire body jet black, with wings spanning several meters, its sharp beak and talons glistening with a cold gleam, as if capable of tearing anything apart.

The bird was incredibly fast, appearing in front of Wang Ruoxie and Xiao Ningyue almost in the blink of an eye, its sharp claws aimed directly at their heads.

Wang Ruoxie's eyes narrowed slightly, then he threw a punch towards the bird.

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, Wang Ruoxie's fist heavily struck the bird, sending it flying.

However, the bird shrieked and came at them again.

"Didn't even harm it."

A hint of surprise flashed in Wang Ruoxie's eyes. He knew that the punch he had just thrown, though not fully powered, was enough to kill a common Half-Step Innate.

Yet, this bird took his punch head-on and was unharmed.

"Cloud Emergence Technique, Slash!"

Facing the charging bird, Wang Ruoxie maintained his composure, then swiftly drew out an Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact Longsword and slashed towards it.

Sword Qi blossomed, instantly slicing it in half, its blood spilling everywhere.

With Wang Ruoxie's current strength, unless faced with an Innate Realm existence, almost nothing could threaten him.

"This bird is a Half-Step Innate level Demon Beast, and its strength seems much greater than the previous Half-Step Innate level Earth Demon Bear."

Looking at the bird's carcass on the ground, Xiao Ningyue's expression shifted slightly as she spoke.

"Something is strange about this small world; these Demon Beasts seem to contain a trace of Fierce Beast bloodline within, which makes them significantly stronger than those outside."

Wang Ruoxie gazed at the bird's carcass on the ground and said.

"Fierce Beast bloodline!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ningyue's pupils shrank.

She knew well what the words "Fierce Beast" signified, but she hadn't expected the Demon Beasts in this small world to possess Fierce Beast bloodline.

Taking a step, Wang Ruoxie walked to the bird's carcass and then performed the Blood Coagulation Technique, refining all its blood into Essence Blood, which he then consumed and absorbed.

Feeling a significant increase in True Qi within his body, Wang Ruoxie's lips curled into a slight smile.

To others, these Demon Beasts with Fierce Beast bloodlines might be terrifying existences to avoid, but to him, they were resources for rapidly enhancing his cultivation.

With just this one Half-Step Innate level bird, his True Qi had noticeably increased, and if he consumed a few more, he could very likely break through to the Ninth Layer of Element Transformation Realm.

The reason he had separated from the group with Xiao Ningyue was not only to evade the Innate Realm Earth Demon Bear but also because, if with the group, he couldn't freely consume Demon Beast Essence Blood.

"With your heaven-defying bloodline divine technique, the speed at which your cultivation improves is likely far greater than others."

Xiao Ningyue looked at Wang Ruoxie with a hint of amazement and said.

The Blood God Essence Blood was Wang Ruoxie's greatest secret aside from his reincarnation, which he hadn't shared with Xiao Ningyue, only saying that his ability to consume Demon Beast Essence Blood to enhance his cultivation was his bloodline divine technique.

"Your Nine Yin Profound Body is also extremely heaven-defying, and it probably won't be long before you break through to the Innate Realm."

Wang Ruoxie smiled and said to Xiao Ningyue.

"If we can find an opportunity in these Ancient Ruins, perhaps both of us will step into the Innate Realm before leaving."

Xiao Ningyue smiled slightly.

The two did not delay any longer and continued to venture deeper into the dense forest.

Along the way, they encountered more than a dozen Half-Step Innate level Demon Beasts, and unsurprisingly, all these beasts were slain by them.

The Essence Blood of those beasts was mostly consumed by Wang Ruoxie, with the remainder refined into Blood Pills for Xiao Ningyue to consume.

Although Xiao Ningyue could not directly consume Demon Beast Essence Blood to enhance her cultivation like Wang Ruoxie, she could refine the Blood Pills to absorb the essence within, nourishing her Qi and Blood and physique.

After consuming the Essence Blood of these Demon Beasts, Wang Ruoxie's cultivation had reached the peak of the Eighth Layer of Element Transformation Realm, on the verge of breaking through to the Ninth Layer.

All that was lacking was an opportunity, perhaps a battle or an epiphany.

"Haha... what a small world it is; I didn't expect us to meet here."

At this moment, a burst of wild laughter sounded, and as Wang Ruoxie and Xiao Ningyue looked towards the source, their eyes involuntarily narrowed.

Not far to their left, a group of figures appeared, six in total, and among them was none other than Zhang Tai from the West Lan Kingdom, with whom Wang Ruoxie had previously clashed.

The other five were all at the Ninth Layer of Element Transformation Realm, each exuding a chilling aura.
