Otherworldly Desert Dust

Zhenwu Dumpling Brother stood at the front of the team, the powerful True Qi radiating from his body. Despite appearing imposing to himself, it was nothing compared to the nine-layered Spirit Flame of the Tianpeng Mountain Pig, just a tiny flicker in the wind!

The flicker of True Qi wavered in the cold air. Along with it, Zhenwu Dumpling Brother's thoughts became completely chaotic. His complexion paled, and his legs trembled uncontrollably!

Like Wu Hen, he originally intended to give these indigenous people a little shock to let them know how foolish it was to treat a Zhenwu expert so rudely. But he never expected a Mountain Guardian Demon to be comparable to a Tianpeng pig descending from the heavens!

"Bang!!!"

The Tianpeng Mountain Pig raised its Thunder Hammer with both hands, its arms full of malice as it slammed down heavily on Zhenwu Dumpling Brother.

Zhenwu Dumpling Brother was sent flying, spilling blood mid-air, and crashed into a rock wall like a cannonball!

The domineering True Qi around him completely dissipated. His bones were broken in who knows how many places, and he lay in the rubble, his face full of shock and disbelief!

This boar, in their True Martial World, was a Supreme Beast King...

How could he encounter the ultimate ancient boss just after entering the mountain!

If he wasn't a born genius of Zhenwu, capable of transforming True Qi into True Armor, the earlier attack from the Tianpeng Mountain Pig would have crushed him.

"Hahahaha!!! Hahahaha!!!"

"Why couldn't you take even one hit? How embarrassing, weren't you so capable yesterday??"

"Just bragged, making people laugh to death!"

The ancient clan men laughed heartily, each one finding it hilarious.

"An... accident... How could I know we'd run into such an Immortal Beast King right after entering the mountain." True Qi Dumpling Brother wiped the blood off while trying to maintain his composure.

"What Immortal Beast King? It's just a Mountain Guardian Pig." An ancient clan youth said.

Saying this, the ancient clan youth strode forward. He didn't hold any weapons but faced the Tianpeng Mountain Pig bare-fisted!

He threw a punch, no different from ordinary hand-to-hand combat.

But the nine-layered Spirit Flame on the pig wavered, its robust belly showing a fist mark.

The ancient clan youth stepped forward again, throwing two more punches at the Tianpeng Mountain Pig. From Wu Hen's point of view, these punches seemed very ordinary, even struggling with basic force, but the mighty Tianpeng Mountain Pig retreated, and three layers of its Spirit Flame vanished!

"Be careful. It used all its strength to knock me away. It's in a weakened state now, but once it recovers, it could kill you instantly!" Zhenwu Brother was inherently kind and didn't want the ancient people to be slaughtered by the Tianpeng Mountain Pig.

Even with many broken bones, Zhenwu Brother charged again.

His True Qi concentrated in his fists, unleashing the True Qi Hundred Fists. You could see the red True Qi fist imprints pouring down like a storm on the Tianpeng Mountain Pig, mighty as a rainbow!

However, the Spirit Flame around the pig was incredibly mystical. The True Qi fist imprints seemed to hit an indestructible mountain. After a series of punches, the Spirit Flame didn't diminish, and it even seemed to grow stronger!

Zhenwu Brother's fists bled, unable to break through even one layer of the pig's Flame Defense.

Remembering how easily the ancient clan youth had dispersed layers of the Spirit Flame with a few ordinary punches, Zhenwu Brother seriously suspected that the Tianpeng Mountain Pig and the ancient clan youth were in cahoots, playing him!

"Enough, don't injure the guest. Xiao Jiang, take down the pig. Don't delay the big hunt." The ancient clan leader said.

The ancient clan youth no longer held back. He leapt up, using just his physical strength to land a simple punch on the Tianpeng Mountain Pig's head!

"Boom!"

That punch was like hitting an overripe watermelon. The pig's head instantly exploded, spraying pig blood, brain matter, and pig marrow everywhere!

The hefty body slowly fell backward, and the Tianpeng Mountain Pig was killed just like that.

Zhenwu Brother was dumbfounded, unable to believe that such a Beast King level existence was killed by just a village youth, without using any True Qi or deploying any remarkable Divine Skills.

Looking at the pig's body, Zhenwu Brother began to doubt his life. Stay tuned for updates on empire

But the ancient clan men took it all in stride, smiling as if this was normal. Many of them patted Zhenwu Brother on the shoulder, indicating that it was typical for outsiders to be greatly shocked when first encountering their clan.

"Let's go. This pig isn't much, just brags a lot." Chongli Mountain Uncle also patted Wu Hen and said.

Wu Hen, his jaw just closing, now looked at these ancient clan men in beast clothes with a new perspective, treating them like a bunch of monsters!

They were supposed to be primitive and simple, merely hunting beasts. How could these mythical species seem so high and mighty? Were their hunts always like this??

As he followed the ancient clan men into the mountain, Wu Hen felt a bit more than shaken; he was completely numb from the shock.

In the mountain, there was a tiger named Qiong Qi!

In the valley, a bird called the Phoenix!

In the cave, demons that had become Buddha Demons!!

This was no primitive world, nor a simple, pristine nature. It was a land of gods and demons, where any creature from the mountain would be a Demon Emperor Immortal Beast in Wu Hen's world, strong enough to destroy weaker nations.

"Chong Hua, be honest with me, are all your prey mythical species?" Wu Hen asked quietly.

Wu Hen had seen Phoenixes.

Groups of them!

They flew through the mountains, their resplendent feathers like unceasing fire.

Wu Hen had seen Ancient Flood Dragons. They were no different from large fish in other lakes, speared by the ancient clan men. These dragons had cultivated for many years, already growing horns, and would likely become true dragons with another century of hibernation!

The most outrageous thing was, Wu Hen had also seen a Mountain God!

The Mountain God chatted with the ancient clan, mentioning that the number of Pig Demons in his Juan Mountain had indeed increased recently and asking them to clear out some to allow the Grass Immortal to grow.

"What mythical species? They, like us ancient clan, just inhabit the Scroll Realm, just ordinary wild beasts and birds." The youth Chong Hua replied.

Alright!

The ancient clan had lived in this world for generations. The wild animals here had always been their prey, from the moment they were born, without recognizing any special significance.

But to Wu Hen and the Zhenwu man, these were mythical creatures!!

They only existed in the tales of their civilization, ethereal, yet seemingly intertwined with the long human history.

It turned out they existed. This Scroll Realm was a haven for mythical creatures, living here just like other creatures, not being rare but quite common.

"Fine, fine, you hunt Tianpeng, Phoenix, Ancient Flood Dragon, Bear Immortal... Maybe there's a cognitive difference. The beasts you hunt are mythical species in our world and have all gone extinct." Wu Hen said.

"Oh, that's a pity. They taste quite good." Chong Hua responded.

Incredible!

The Dragon Kun couple had brought him to such a place??

What primitive and simple people, everyone here was some sort of deity!!

"I need to catch my breath. I'll help you skin and cut the meat. These mythical beasts, I can't fight them, and one slap could kill me." Wu Hen said.

"Don't worry, brother. Most who end up here can't adapt at first. Come hunting with us a few more times, and you'll get used to it. Soon, you'll be able to hunt solo." Chong Hua grinned.

Wu Hen returned a polite, friendly smile.

He sat on a rock, gasping for breath.

Another person sat on the same rock, dull-eyed and mumbling.

"Impossible, impossible. I am the most gifted in Zhenwu. Back home, I even gained the Human Emperor's favor, destined to become a renowned figure in this Desert Dust..." Zhenwu Brother mumbled.

"Excuse me, what was your cultivation level back then?" Wu Hen leaned over.

"Heavenly Light, weren't you?" Zhenwu Brother said.

"Cough, cough, cough~" Wu Hen choked on something and coughed violently.

No way, was this brother truly Heavenly Light??

Had the world outside changed so much that Heavenly Light was being swatted like a small soldier?

Actually, his display of True Qi earlier was indeed impressive, definitely surpassing Senior Brother Gu Yue.

But the Tianpeng Mountain Pig was terrifying, a mythical creature capable of easily handling a weakened Heavenly Light.

"Of course, I am too!" Wu Hen secured his pride and admitted he was also Heavenly Light.

Adding Little Yi to himself, they were indeed Heavenly Light, no problem!

"I really was powerful back then. When I wanted the ancient clan to worship me, they laughed and tied me up like a dumpling... Know that on our True Martial Super Continent, billions of Zhenwu people viewed me as a deity. Many small Zhenwu civilizations begged for my protection... By the way, where are you from?" Zhenwu Brother asked.

"My homeland is far. We focus on technology, having only developed to the point of building warships." Wu Hen said.

"Oh, warships. I can punch one to pieces."

"I believe you, you're very strong. I was once a top-tier Heavenly Light, fought an Ancestor Dragon Kun to protect my homeland... But ending up here, this place has some bizarre qualities." Wu Hen said.

Feeling genuinely comforted, Zhenwu Brother calmed down. He circulated True Qi, enveloping his body with it. True Qi seemed to have healing and restorative properties, mending his broken bones and repairing damaged muscles.

"Two guests, time to skin and bone." An ancient clan youth called.

Wu Hen and Zhenwu Brother immediately stood up.

No more idle chatter, no more arrogance.

Wu Hen and Zhenwu Brother took on the chores in the team, handling all the exhausting, dirty work.

There was no choice. Despite their earlier boasting of past glories, invincibility across ages...

They had to admit, they couldn't handle even one mythical creature in this mountain!!
