"In this world, demon beasts that are at bronze rank are called demon beast soldier."

He raises his eyebrow after hearing this, he turns to her to explain more.

"Right now, we are considered in the neutral zone, that means that there’s no kingdom that rules over us and there’s no sect that claims this area as their territory."

She unfurls a map in front of them, looking at the map, she points at a certain spot.

"This is where we are right now, a place that’s technically ruled over by demon beast race, this location is in constant war and the only reason why we are currently at peace is because of the existence of a portal that appears in the center of the continent."

She points at a location that’s incredibly far from theirs.

"The creatures that came from this portal are actually survivors of that blood world, as you know, they are incredibly strong and filled with killing intent."

"This world had suffered from the attacks from creatures of this portal and the three main race had proposed a truce in order to fight back against the invaders."

"Three races?"

"Yes, human, demon beast and sea race, well, the latter two are quite similar but because the demon beast from the sea doesn’t see the demon beast from the land as the same as them, they consider themselves as a separate race."

"Without spiritual energy, it’s going to be difficult for demon beasts to gain intelligence, so how can the sea race has so much pride?"

"It’s connected to how their ranks are divided, demon beast, demon beast soldier, demon beast general and demon beast commander."

"Then, they would transform into royal demon beasts which are capable of intelligence and can control those below them, their bloodlines are also split but I don’t have any information about that, all I know is that each demon beast kings are relatively stronger than grandmasters."

"That means that they are Innates, this is going to be difficult, I don’t know how they control other demon beasts but if it’s absolute control, then, it’s going to be dangerous for our kingdom."

The majority of their guardians are demon beasts, if they are controlled, then, it’s essentially over for their kingdom.

"Unh! Unh!" Suddenly, Liliaghant brandishes her tiny fists.

He was stunned before laughing out loud.

Slapping his legs he can’t help but foolish to forget about her ability.

"How can we forget about you!? You’re right, if we can’t trust demon beasts, then, we’ll create our own trustworthy allies!"

"Jasmine, do you have any information about old trees in this world?"

She shakes her head, it seems that they can only search for it themselves.

"Call Harmoine and Blood Hound here."

Bun Bun nods her head and left, she quickly returns with a bewildered two individuals.

Sean can’t help but rubs his forehead, it seems that he still needs to drill to her how a sect leader should act.

"I have a mission for the two of you. Spread the news that we’re searching for old trees, at least a century old and whoever manages to find one or point at where it is will be rewarded, their children will become inner disciples that which will be nurtured or if they don’t have children of their own, they are rewarded a territory inside the sect."

The two were startled but they quickly nods their heads and left.

"As long as one of my men finds a century old tree, we can ask Summoner King to pardon us!" Blood Hound was excited, this is the first time they are given such a task with a heavy reward.

Harmoine looks at the person besides her, as the Saint, her position is actually much higher than him but in terms of strength, she’s a lot weaker than her.

This person is hell-bent of creating a power in their kingdom, she wasn’t really afraid of it, just Snek would be able to kill all of them and her position as the Saint, she has the authority to command them.

"We need to make sure to complete this mission, I don’t care about your ambition but if you don’t achieve success, don’t forget, Divine Fox has returned."

Blood Hound, who was in midsts of dreaming about his future freezes, he quickly turns pale.

He had forgotten about Jasmine, or more accurately, because of the trauma, his mind is actively sealing his memories.

"You’re right." He mutters before hurriedly leaving, he’s afraid that if Sean becomes displeased towards them, he would send her to Jasmine’s hand.

Harmoine wasn’t afraid of Jasmine but she also wanted to prove herself because she received the position through Sean’s gratitude not because of her capabilities.

Inside the room, Sean and the others continue their discussion.

"I’m going to leave, I’ll be bringing Liliaghant with me, the rest of you should search on your own."

He quickly left, the others splits towards different locations to search for any trees that are possibly a century old.

"This is the place." Sean mutters, this is the place that he had seen during his journey to find Jasmine.

"Can you sense any of these trees has what it takes to become your Treant?"

Looking at the large trees in front of her, Liliaghant’s eyes were shining.

Closing her eyes, she starts touching the largest and oldest looking trees.

"Unh! Unh!" She excitedly shouts as she touches one of the trees.

It was the largest one in the forest and Sean had already expected that this will pass her test.

"Good, we’ll be bringing this tree back to the capital city, don’t turn it into a Treant immediately."

With that his arms increases in size and he punches the ground, causing a small earthquake to occur.

"As expected of the tree that Liliaghant has accepted, your roots are truly deep."

He can’t help but exclaim looking at the large roots that slowly grows smaller the deeper they got.

"I need to keep it safe." He mutters before stabbing the ground.

He spent two hours unearthing the large tree without harming or destroying any of it’s roots.

Right now, there’s a large hole in the spot where it had been.

"Secured one tree!" He happily shouts before carrying the tree back to the city.

His figure can’t be hidden, with such a large tree, many demon beasts were alarmed by him.

"Finally!" Once they returned home, he destroys a plot of land and plants the tree there.

He throws a couple of blood crystals in the hole to fuel the growth of the tree.

"Liliaghant, it’s time to do your magic."

With the tree becoming weaker after being transplanted, he quickly asks Liliaghant to use her ability.

With a loud cry, she scatters some sort of powder in it.

The tree starts trembling as Liliaghant’s figure starts to away.

"F*ck! It’s absorbing all the spiritual energy in the area."

He summons Bai and orders it to find the others, he needs all the help he can get.

Without hesitation, he puts his hand on the tree and infuses his own spiritual energy into it.

Intermediate Cultivation Technique!

As his remaining spiritual energy is absorbed, Dorgaron arrives riding Bai.

He grabs him and absorbs the spiritual energy from his body and transfers it to the tree.

"Sh*t! Why is it taking so much!?" He opens a portal to Beast World and grabs Dorgaron before throwing him inside.

BOOM!

Flare arrives, she was practicing flying using her fire element, unfortunately, it burns too much spiritual energy to fly.

Looking at the situation, she steps forward and also shares her spiritual energy to the tree.

Only absorbing their energy did the trees stops shaking.

With a deep groan, the trees transforms into a large human like creature.

"We need more Treants, had you found any trees?" He looks at Scorchy.

She was exhausted but she still answers him. "No, master."

"You did your best, return back to Beast World to recover."

Rubbing her head, opens a portal to the Beast World and sends her in.

Liliaghant was also sent inside, it seems that she’s exhausted because it isn’t inside Beast World but with her ability, they can create an army that can protect their territory and fight for them, they don’t fear death and are loyal to them.

"As long as we have at least ten of these, we can return to that world."

Clenching his fist, he can’t help but feel fired up, their progress has stagnated after arriving in this world but in that blood world, their levels increases quickly, the only drawback is the danger.

"I must find a way to increase the power of the Burning Sun but I still haven’t collected any flames that can increase it’s power."

Suddenly, his eyes lights up, while waiting for Liliaghant to recover, he starts cultivating.

Using the energy from this world, he tries his best to create a flame on his hand.

’Use my blood as fuel! Yes!’ His yang energy boils.

Without any spiritual energy left in his body, making him feel breathless, his concentration is in all time high.

"Come on! Come on! Light up!" He curses under his breath as sweat pours from his forehead.

After a while, he stops and lies in the ground, he failed but he decided not to stop.

"Come out." With a wave of his hand, three figures appears in front of him.

"Sorry, Dorgaron but I need your help." He grabs him and absorbs his spiritual energy, the latter can’t help but glare at him with a look that he’s wronged.

He smiles apologetically to him and sends him back to Beast World.

Dorgaron isn’t as smart as the others, he’s also the weakest amongst the group but with a bloodline from the dragon clan, he’s quite proud.

Sean knows that he’s very angry because he denied him the chance to prove himself.

The three of them left, because it’s difficult for trees to mutate in this world, only specific trees that has a lifespan more than a century can survive for so long.

With Liliaghant, he’s confident that he wouldn’t miss a tree.

"The trees here are quite big, there are probably some of them that are more than a century old."

They arrive at a forest filled with leaf litters and large trees.

Liliaghant starts touching all the trees, suddenly, Sean’s expression changes as he takes forward and punches.

BAM!

The creature that tried to attack Liliaghant was slammed to a couple of trees, breaking them.

It was a large golden snake, he can’t believe that he missed it.

"It seems that I’m too focused at searching for the perfect tree that I let you get close enough to nearly swallow Liliaghant."

"A gold rank, or in this world, a demon beast commander?"

It hisses at him, it’s eyes were glinting with desire, it seems that it senses just how much it will improve if it devours him.

Without hesitation, it lunges towards him with the fastest speed.

He dashes towards it and punches the nose, causing it to crash towards a couple of trees.

Before it can recover, he was already leaping towards it.

Power Force!

He punches it’s head, burying it to the ground, while the entire area was shaking, he doesn’t stop.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The snake’s body writhes but after the sixth punch, it was no longer moving.

Looking at the bloody mess in front of him, he waves his hand and stores the body inside Beast World.

"Let’s continue."

Since this place contains a gold rank, this meant that he basically killed the overlord and they no longer need to worry of another ambush.

After searching for a while, Liliaghant shakes her head, he can’t help but feel disappointed inwardly but he doesn’t show it.

"It’s okay, we can still search, let’s go to another location."

With a wave of his hand, he summons Bai, and the three of them left the place, the result of the fight is quite obvious, making his presence known in the area.

SCREECH!

A loud bird cry was heard as a large bird suddenly swoops down towards them.

"Tch! Another gold rank! How can there so many gold ranks around the kingdom!?"

He knows that he had traveled at least a thousand or so kilometers away from their territory, other than the direction of the city, he mostly went to the wilderness.

He lightly jumps upwards, then, when he’s a bit away from Bai, he kicks the air with Power Force, propelling himself upward.

Power Force!

He meets the dive with a punch and the two of them collides midair.

He was blown to the ground, Baj hurriedly flies towards him and catches him.

Meanwhile, the bird was blown away by his punch, it might hadn’t been killed but it’s beak was broken.

Just as it falls to the ground, it spreads it’s wings and flies back up, it stares at Sean and it quickly realizes that hunting him isn’t worth it.

The instinct of self-preservation stops it from going crazy, it decides to just leave.

Seeing it leave, Sean was relieved, he was vulnerable in a battle in the air, it seems that he needs to find a way how to fight in the air.

He can use brute force to travel in the air but this requires a lot of vital force, he might have an absurd amount of vital force for a silver ranker but he doesn’t want to waste it in such manner.

Or, he can copy what Scorchy was doing, also most people under Innate Realm, that is, using elemental energy.

Air is perfect for this, also, fire, there’s also non elemental special energy, such as psychic or magnetic force.

Still, the most perfect way is to find a suitable flying type mystique creature and teach it Bear’s technique and equip it to strengthen himself and grant him flight.

"Let’s go down."

He didn’t really walk on foot as the place they are currently on right now is a large swamp.

Sensing the hostile intentions from below, he realizes that this place is teeming with demon beasts, no wonder that bird was flying through here, it seems that it treats this place as a hunting ground.

"Let’s hurry and find a tree." Liliaghant starts looking around, after half an hour, her eyes lights up and points at a large but dying tree.

"Are you sure that this can transform into a Treant? It’s quite old."

He knows that the older the better but still, this thing looks like it was on the verge of death.

"Well, you’re the expert."

With that, he leaps into the mud, the mud around the tree is much harder than the area around it.

Raising his hand, he stabs it to the ground and starts digging.

His action alarms the demon beasts in the area, he wasn’t even hiding his presence.

He was stabbing the ground and continues digging out the large tree without harming it.

ROAR!

Suddenly, a large creature leaps out of the water and lunges towards him.

"Come on!" He can’t help but curse.

Power Force!

He punches the large demon beast which turns out to be a crocodile.

BOOM!

Even though he punches with all his might, he was unable to kill it.

"Wait? Another gold rank? No! A pseudo Innate!"

His expression changes as he leaps to the sky and Bai quickly grabs him.

"Bad luck, we need to leave, we can’t stay here, it’s too dangerous."

"Unh! Unh!" Liliaghant suddenly cries to him, startling him.

"Open a portal to Beast World?" He’s confused but still does it.

Summon Vines!

She waves her hand a large vine appears out of thin air, it stabs itself on the ground and uproots the entire tree under the shocked gaze of Sean.

When the tree was brought back to Beast World, she turns to Sean and shouts.

"Fly!" Sean shouts and Bai quickly flies away.

"Liliaghant, why don’t you just do this on the first tree?"

"Unh! Unh!"

She feels sleepy but still answers him.

"So you can’t use this ability without drawing so much energy from the Tree of Life, silly, you should had said so, you are more important than any tree, don’t push yoursel too much, I forbid you to do this again."

After admonishing her, he sends her back to Beast World to rest, it seems that using a skill that requires cross-world transfer is too much for her.

She’s clearly too young and eager to please him, she didn’t even think of the drawback of using such a skill.

"This world doesn’t have any universal spiritual energy, using a skill is a bit impossible without any drawbacks."

He returns back the village, he’ll wait for Liliaghant to rest before continuing in their journey, for now, he’ll dog holes to locations that would be perfect to transplant the trees.

Right now, their only Treant is drawing energy from the sun and the ground, he can’t help but be curious if he inscribes the rune of absorption into it’s body.

"Hopefully, the others can find suitable trees." He mutters.

With his strength and physique, boring holes around their territory is quite easy but inscribing a rune might be a bit difficult for him in this world.

As the day passes by, Liliaghant finally wakes up, she feels refreshed and quickly calls out for Sean.

"Thank goodness that you’re fine, I was afraid that you would suffer more, remember what we talked about, next time, don’t do it."

He also releases Dorgaron, when he was summoned to the pond, he flicks his tail at him and splashes both him and Liliaghant with water.

"Wow, quite petty." He mutters, watching Dorgaron leaves.

"Let’s wait for Jasmine to return, with her help, she can definitely help us."

Unfortunately, after waiting until night, the three didn’t return.

He smiles bitterly as they can only do this themselves.

He plants the large dying tree in one of the holes that are a bit farther from the territory.

Liliaghant touches it and activates her ability, just like the first tree, after receiving her power, the tree starts trembling.

It didn’t take long for it to regain it’s vitality, Sean sighs as he knows what comes next.

He puts his hand on the tree and transfers the remaining spiritual energy into it.

Intermediate Cultivation Technique!

Just as he was squeezed dry, the tree finally stops absorbing his spiritual energy.

"Wait? How can it absorb just that much?" He’s confused.

"Unh! Unh!" Liliaghant shouts.

It seems that the tree has absorbed enough spiritual energy by being near the Tree of Life.

He was relieved and the tree starts to grow bigger, it’s the same Treant.

"There are now two Treants, with their silver rank strength and almost gold rank defense, they can protect this territory while it grows."

The people are still in the phase of growth, it will take years for them to grow into a proper kingdom, during this time, they can cultivate and nurture loyal people that can serve as disciples or soldiers under their cause.

"We need more, Liliaghant, let’s go night hunting!" With energy to spare, that once again rides Bai and searches for another tree.

Just as they arrive a hundred or so kilometers away from their territory, they encounter trouble.

"So many demon beasts!" He can’t help but be shocked by that swarm of bats in front of him.

At least a hundred or so of them are demon beasts, he can’t help but be shocked by their swarm.

"They are too dangerous!" His eyes turns cold.

His kingdom isn’t that far and if they keep expanding, it won’t be long before they reach this place.

"Bai! Go kill them!"

Grabbing Liliaghant, he jumps to the ground, Bai, on the other hand, roars and charges towards the swarm without fear.

"Liliaghant, you should return back to Beast World, I’ll call you back after this battle."

Rubbing her head, he sends her back to Beast World.

Then, his entire aura changes, he grabs one of the trees and throws them towards the swarm.

The bats are able to absorb the blood of their victims and their cries can make their opponents mad.

Unfortunately for them, they encountered Bai, the latter isn’t a living being, it doesn’t function as one either.

Unless you can destroy it through brute force or destructive power, defeating it with other methods will be impossible.

Meanwhile, Sean was grabbing the trees and stones in the area and keep throwing them to the swarm, he might not kill that many but he takes down a couple of them.

He then clenches his fist hard as a orange light covers it.

Power Force!

Twisting his skin and muscles rapidly, when he releases all of it, he creates a tornado.

He can’t help but feel that this attack has potential but compared to his other skills, it’s quite lacking.

Absorbing the energy of this world, he starts beating his heart quickly and his body starts to heat up.

Whirlwind Punch!

He punches at the swarm once again, creating a tornado that kills a large batch of the swamp.

Clenching his fist, he punches once again, the force creates a sonic blast, it wasn’t as large as the whirlwind punch but it’s more fatal.

Whirlwind Punch!

Punch^Power Force!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

He was attacking madly, knowing Bai’s condition, he knows that it has no sense of pain.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The sound of air exploding and the rain of blood that in the air, not many demon beasts dares to approach the place.

He starts heaving, after taking a deep breath, he quickly recovers.

"Well, as expected, killing so many demon beasts will attract some unsavory savages."

He turns towards a certain direction and a large black tiger has appeared.

It stares at him and the corpses nearby with greed.

’It is as strong as the crocodile, this means that it’s at least a pseudo Innate, not worth fighting.’

He decided to leave but before he can move he freezes, his expression changes as he quickly leaps up from the sky.

BOOM!

ROAR!

A creature that looks like a giant worm appears from the ground, a part of it’s body is still buried underneath.

"Another pseudo Innate!?" He was stunned, just as he was shocked, the worm returns to the ground.

Then, a large number of rat people appears, the one leading them shouts.

"Tremble! Beings of this world! We of the Underground World will conquer this utopia!"

"Another world!"

This place isn’t even that far from their territory, how can they encounter such a thing.

Suddenly, above him, a powerful pressure appears, it’s greater than any of what he felt in the past.

Everything turns still, except for Bai, everything seems to be frozen in shock.

"Invaders of another world, you dare step foot on this world!?"

With a loud roar, a brilliant light descends and all the rat people vomits blood as the leader of them scream. "World Guard Beast!"

Sean’s eyes flashes, this is basically similar to Pangaea and Liliaghant, World Guardian Beast.

’So this world has one but why doesn’t our world has one?’

He can’t help but inwardly muse, he was hiding his presence as much as possible, afraid to earn the attention of the World Guardian Beast.

"I declare, as this guardian of this world, whoever kills these creatures will receive the blessing of this world."

Sean, who was thinking of leaving was stunned, his eyes then starts shining.

When the pressure of the World Guardian Beast disappears, Sean and the rest of the demon beasts immediately makes a move.

The remaining of the swarm ignores Bai but the latter also stops attacking them.

"Kill!"

With a roar, every single demon beast in vicinity pounces on the injured invaders.

’Yes! As long as I kill a lot of them, Beast World would be able to connect directly to this world!’

Power Force!

With such heavy injuries, the rat people were unable to fight back and was killed by just one punch.

Raising his foot, he increases it’s size with muscle control and stomps hard.

BOOM!

A large number was immediately killed, he raises his fist and punches the ground.

BOOM!

Unfortunately, he was unaware that he was standing on hollow ground as him and the black tiger crashes below.

The black tiger doesn’t care that it’s falling, just like the other demon beasts, it now enters a state of madness.

Whirlwind Punch!

He sends a punch downward, creating a air cushion for him and the others.

After saving the black tiger, he can sense that it was growing stronger and his eyes lights up.

Without hesitation, he leaps on it’s back and sends his own vital force towards it.

The black tiger was stunned but it doesn’t resist, after feeling the rolling energy within it, the bottled up energy turns into a loud roar.

"Good! With something like you as our vanguard, you can easily deal with the rest."

He pats his head when suddenly, he was grabbed by a tentacle that’s made up of shadows and he was thrown to the wall.

BOOM!

He was buried into the wall, feeling his blood rolling, he can’t help but frown and wipes his blood.

"Come! Bai!" With a loud roar, he summons Bai, it transforms into a sword and with one swing, his cuts the shadow that tangled themselves around the demon beasts.

"As expected, no invasion is simple." He mutters, he didn’t expect that his search for a tree would lead him to such situation.

"Creatures from the darkness are weak against light." The World Guardian Beast’s voice appears once again but this time, it seems mechanical.

He quickly raises his head but doesn’t see it’s figure, startling him.

"Oh, weird descendant of this world, you must not be alarmed as I am directly speaking to you with the connection of all creatures of this world to it’s mother world."

His eye twitches, not because of the voice but the fact that it didn’t notice he was just like these ratfolks, he wasn’t a native of this world.

"What should I do?" He asks.

"Bring the fight to the survive, survive till morning, then, these creatures of the night will be unable to harm you."

’Survive till morning? Easier said than done!’ He curses inwardly.

Without hesitation, he raises his fist and creates a blast of air below them.

Then, while the demon beasts were confused, he starts grabbing them and throws them back to the surface.

Using the walls, he runs back up, he can sense the malevolent energy creeping behind him but he ignores it.

When they were back to surface, he raises his sword and fuels it with Power Force and vital force.

Even if he doesn’t have spiritual energy, his vital force still contains the nature of yang energy.

He then fires a cheap imitation of sword Qi downward, the creatures hisses after being hit.

"Great job, weird descendant, rally the other descendants to fight with you."

"I apologized but I can’t do that, I don’t have the power or ability to lead those that aren’t my kind since they can’t understand my language."

"I’ll give you the power to control these descendants!"

"No need! Just give me the power to control that creature and I assure you that I can control the others."

"Granted!"

Then, in his palm, a rune appears, the same rune also appears in the head of the black tiger.

He unexpectedly feels a sense of connection that’s similar to his partners from the black tiger.

He wants to laugh out loud but he stops himself, he then directs his control to make it command the other demon beasts.

He must perform well in front of the eyes of the World Guardian Beast.

"Attack!" He directs the lathe creatures to attack first, he also dashes towards the hole.

Just as they gathered around the hole, a loud roar came out of it and the worm once again appears.

"Get him!"

The black tiger leaps towards the worm and the two of them clashes.

He dashes towards the worm to cut it when a figure appears in front of him.

"What?" He was then hit by a whip and was slapped back to the ground.

Rubbing the mark on his face, he looks at the person that attacked him and sees a human size rat wielding a sword.

"Innate." He mutters in shock.

"Oh? A creature from this new world actually knows the common title for ascendants?" The rat speaks, he doesn’t know why but he can understand him.
