    The massive cow chortled with mirth upon hearing An Lin’s words. “Mere Soul Formation Intermediate Stage trash dares to talk sh*t to me, the mighty Ao Niu? Let me show you what true power looks like!”


    All the white fur on its body stood on end as it spoke, and its vital energy surged forth in turbulent waves as it unleashed its power, which was at the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage, without reservation.


    A beast at the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage would be among the most powerful beasts to have entered this mystic realm, so it was no wonder that this huge cow was so arrogant; this was a beast that could not only talk the talk, but it could also walk the walk.


    “Wow! So powerful! What a terrifying aura!” An Lin’s expression shifted drastically as he turned pale with fright.


    “Hehe, you only know to fear me now? It’s toote! I won’t spare your life! I’m hungry, and I’m going to eat you!” Ao Niu chuckled coldly.


    Its domain erupted forth around its body as invisible ripples spread through the air. A series of white cow horns appeared in the air, from which exuded a terrifying aura.


    An Lin drew a sharp intake of breath. “To think that a powerful being at the pinnacle of the Soul Formation would be so devastatingly terrifying!”


    Ao Niu was clearly extremely happy with An Lin’s reaction, and it roared withughter as it pounced toward An Lin.


    “Xian, go on without me!” An Lin let loose a tear-jerking cry before stepping forward to meet Ao Niu.


    Xu Xian rolled her eyes. She couldn’t be bothered watching An Lin’s academy award-level performance anymore as she turned to focus her attention on the green herb, over which she cast a defensive spell technique, in case it was damaged by the shockwaves from the battle.


    “Moo! Know your ce, trash!” Ao Niu charged toward An Lin on all fours, and the white cow horns that materialized in its domain swept toward An Lin in a frenzy.


    Whoosh whoosh whoosh…


    All the cow horns glowed with a sharp white light, and they pierced through the air as they flew toward the white-robed man.


    Each and every one of the cow horns was imbued with fearsome power capable of pulverizing a Soul Formation Stage soul beast on contact.


    A white light shed past An Lin’s eyes, and the speed of all those cow horns suddenly slowed down in his eyes. Immediately afterward, he activated a wraith-like movement technique, which allowed him to dodge all of the cow horns.


    “What?” Ao Niu’s expression shifted drastically as a dazzling white light burst forth from the cow horn on its head, which abruptly speared toward An Lin!


    A golden light shed on An Lin’s forehead as he activated his Earth Lotus Supreme Skill. A golden light then enveloped his fist as heunched it directly toward the cow horn!


    Boom!


    The fist and the horn collided, triggering an ear-splitting boom.


    Fearsome shockwaves inflicted countless fractures into the ground within a radius of over a kilometer from the point of collision as the golden fist swept forth with the devastating power of the earth.


    Crack…


    The sound of something cracking erupted.


    A series of cracks began to appear on the cow horn, which Ao Niu valued above all else…


    “Moo!” Ao Niu wailed in anguish as its body hurtled back through the air before tumbling to the ground, where it threw up a mouthful of blood.


    “How could this be… You, aren’t you only at the Soul Formation Intermediate Stage? How could you be so powerful?!” Ao Niu stared up at An Lin with incredulity as ity on the ground.


    An Lin didn’t say anything. Instead, he took a step forward, and his body instantly appeared before Ao Niu, upon which a torrential storm of fists rained down.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Golden light shed as energy exploded.


    Ao Niu mooed with anguish, and it felt as if its body was being rammed by a series of huge mountains as it threw up a mouthful of blood after another.


    “S… Save me! Please spare me! I…”


    The Ao Niu was half-dead, and it was too dizzy to even form a coherent sentence to beg for its life.


    “I-I’ll give you all my treasures…” Ao Niu continued.


    An Lin’s fists faltered upon hearing this. “I, the mighty An Ritian, do as I say. I already said I would kill you! How could I let you live?”


    Ao Niu almost shed tears upon hearing this. “Spare me, and I’ll take you to a ce with real treasures!”


    An Lin was confused. “Why didn’t you take them for yourself then?”


    Ao Niu averted its gaze in embarrassment. “I’m not powerful enough…”


    An Lin’s interest was finally piqued upon hearing this. This had to be quite a decent treasure if a soul beast at the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage wasn’t strong enough toy hands on it.


    “Alright, I’ll spare you for now.” An Lin stood up before extending a hand toward Ao Niu.


    Ao Niu was very touched upon seeing the hand being extended toward it. However, it still shook its head after a moment of hesitation. “Thank you, but I can get up by myself.”


    An Lin’s expression darkened. “What the hell are you talking about? I’m telling you to hand over your storage ring!”


    Tears streaked down Ao Niu’s face.


    An Lin tossed a regenerative spirit pill to Ao Niu in a humane gesture before rummaging through its storage ring. One spirit tool, six spirit pills, and two hundred thousand spirit stones.


    So poor!


    An Lin took some time to tally up his wealth. Following that battle in the small world within the Realm of the Fallen Phoenix, he had stripped Celestial Maiden Fei Ying, Duan Hunzi, and Bai Pengzi of the storage rings, and his wallet was starting to bulge again.


    After taking Ao Niu’s storage ring, he had now plundered four million six hundred thousand spirit stones, twenty-five spirit tools, a hundred spirit pills, twenty spirit fruits, and three immortal pills.


    Not taking into ount other matters, just the spirit stones were enough for An Lin to rediscover a sense of security.


    He couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. His wealth had been built on the wealth of others. It looked like robbery really was the quickest way to umte wealth…


    “Sit still, and don’t try to run away!” An Lin had nned to establish a ve contract with the cow, but he relinquished this idea upon realizing that it would just be a waste of his blood essence.


    From now on, there was a minimum benchmark for the ves he would ept, this benchmark was that they should be at the Return to Void Stage…


    An Lin made his way over to Xu Xian, and the two of them looked down at the glowing, green herb.


    The herb was glittering and translucent like a beautiful jade stone.


    “Its energy fluctuations are quite powerful. Looks like it’s a high-rank immortal herb that can be used to refine immortal pills!” Xu Xian observed.


    “Let me see what type of immortal herb this is.” An Lin knelt down and plucked the green herb from the ground before activating his Divine Inspection Technique.


    [Vast Blood Immortal Herb, a third-grade immortal herb native to the Vast Land of Blood. It has been nurtured by the aura of the Demonic Blood Kirin and contains extremely powerful life-force energy. Consumption of the herb can allow one to recover from injuries extremely quickly.]


    “Ohhh, it’s a third-grade regenerative immortal herb. This is some good stuff! You take it, Xian!” An Lin passed the immortal herb to Xian.


    All regenerative immortal rank treasures are extremely valuable as they can save one’s life during critical moments.


    “Why are you giving this to me, An Lin? I’m not taking it.” Xu Xian refused to ept it.


    “My skin is thick, so I don’t get injured. Listen to me and take it!” An Lin continued with his persuasion.


    Ao Niu couldn’t help but cut in at this moment as he said, “How about I take it if neither of you wants it?”


    “Shut up!” An Lin and Xu Xian snapped at once.


    Both of them gave Ao Niu a ferocious re as they spoke.


    Ao Niu’s entire body trembled as it shut its mouth.


    <i>Holy Mother of God! These two humans are so scary!</i>


    <i>Wait… humans?</i>


    Ao Niu finally came to a realization as he stared at An Lin and Xu Xian in shock. “You, you, you… You’re both humans? Why are you here?!”


    An Lin faltered slightly before turning to look at Ao Niu. “Don’t tell me you have only just realized it… Is your reflex arc that long?”


    Xu Xian burst intoughter. “It knows too much. Maybe we should just kill it?”


    Ao Niu’s legs almost gave out from under itself, and it almost knelt down in fear. It should’ve just kept its mouth shut!
