    Trantor: Noodletown Tranted Editor: Noodletown Tranted


    Qingfeng Li and his crew walked within the Dragon-Tiger mountains. Not far from where they were, multiple self-cultivators from Huaxia were standing, all in search of the Chief Badge.


    "Little dog can you sniff out the Chief Badge?" Qingfeng Li furrowed his brows as he asked ck Puppy.


    ck Puppy shook its head and said, "I’ve never seen the Chief Badge before so I don’t know it’s scent. This type of token is made by ancient saints. It possesses the scent of a saint and can only be found by its fated master."


    Qingfeng Li looked disappointed, sighing in his heart. He had nned to rely on ck Puppy to find the Chief Badge, but clearly, he needed a new n.


    There were fallen leaves and rubble everywhere, tangling vines throughout thend. Crackling noises sounded with every step they took.


    Above Qingfeng Li’s head were ancient sky-high trees, each reaching hundreds of meters in height and a dozen meters thick. The trees were made of ck wood, and green leaves grew on them. Its stems were broad as could be, even thicker than a man’s waist.


    Walking in the mountains, Qingfeng Li felt a sense of oppression, and ck Puppy felt it too.


    Sky-Devouring Snake rattled its tongue and said, "Slow down, I feel some movement."


    Qingfeng Li and ck Puppy both stopped. They knew that Sky-Devouring Snake was the most familiar with mountain environments. It had lived within mountains all of its life, and they were not about to question its senses.


    Ssss...


    Hissing sounds came from beneath the ground. The noise was very weak, almost inaudible.


    Shoo!


    Suddenly, a ck shadow shot out from the ground, biting at Qingfeng Li.


    The shadow moved incredibly quickly, as if it were a ray of ck lightning, arriving before Qingfeng Li instantly.


    Without a second thought, Qingfeng Li immediately pulled out his Fire Emperor Sword and struck it forward, cleaving it onto the ck shadow’s body.


    Bang!


    The Fire Emperor Sword collided with the ck shadow’s body, creating a loud boom. The ck shadow was sent flying,nding on the ground a dozen meters away.


    Qingfeng Li furrowed his brows at the sight of the ck shadow’s identity. It was a giant ck centipede, more than one-meter long.


    Normal centipedes were only a dozen centimeters long, with a rare few reaching the half-meter length mark. But a centipede longer than a full meter? It was unprecedented. It was as long as a human body.


    The centipede was gigantic, and its body was crimson-hued. On its body were attached countless legs, each equipped with dazzling silvery red hooks, menacing as could be.


    ck Puppy took one look at the giant centipede and said, "Qingfeng Li, this is a mutated centipede. It absorbed the blood of the self-cultivators that died on the Dragon-Tiger Mountain and evolved."


    Qingfeng Li gazed at the mutated centipede, sensing its powerful energy. The centipede was a Fourth Level Spirit Emperor Realm demonic beast.


    Qingfeng Li felt heaviness in his heart. He wasn’t afraid of the giant centipede, but its presence was certainly ominous. They had just stepped into the Dragon-Tiger Mountain and was already met with a Fourth Level Spirit Emperor Realm demonic beast. It would get more and more dangerous from here.


    Qingfeng Li stepped out with his right foot as he prepared himself to kill the giant centipede. However, he was stopped by ck Puppy.


    "Little dog, why did you block me?" Qingfeng Li looked at ck Puppy in confusion.


    ck Puppy waved its paw and said, "Qingfeng Li, let me handle this giant centipede. I want to try out my attack powers."


    Qingfeng Li nodded in agreement. He knew that ck Puppy had wanted a chance at a breakthrough ever since itsst but was never greeted by the right demonic beasts.


    The giant centipede was a perfect training opportunity for ck Puppy. Plus, ck Puppy could ingest its Demonic Pill after killing the beast.


    Wagging its tail, ck Puppy walked towards the centipede arrogantly.


    At the sight of its expression, the centipede became livid, its eyes burning with rage.


    "Stupid bastard dog, what kind of expression is that on your face? How dare you disregard me. I am a mutated centipede! I carry the blood of ancient self-cultivators!" The giant centipede glowered at ck Puppy, its voice stern and proud.


    All of the demonic beasts in the Dragon-Tiger Mountain had their unique temperaments and pride. They were, after all, members of the Daoist ancestral family. Practicing at the Dragon-Tiger Mountain, these demonic beasts received guidance and teachings from many ancient saints.


    ck Puppy reached out its dog paw and pointed at the giant centipede, saying, "Little centipede,e here, let this master kill you."


    ck Puppy’s words piqued the giant centipede’s rage. It was an enormous centipede more than a meter long, but ck Puppy had dared to call it a small centipede?


    The centipedeshed out its slender tail, leaving an arc in the air. It tore through the atmosphere, smashing towards ck Puppy ferociously.


    Without a care in the world, ck Puppy channeled its demonic vital essence into its paw, wing forward at the giant centipede’s tail, and making a loud boom.


    The air exploded, and space tore asunder. The surrounding rocks, trees, flowers, and rubble burst into ashes, flying across thend and dimming the skies.


    Although ck Puppy was only a First Level Spirit Emperor Realm demonic beast, several levels below that of the giant centipede, its status as the ancestor of all dogs and as the first dog in the world meant that it could surpass realms and battle beasts of higher levels.


    The giant centipede was shocked by the result of their exchange, its eyes betraying its disbelief. It couldn’t believe that its attack didn’t defeat ck Puppy. How could a tiny puppy be so powerful?


    ck Puppyughed coldly and said, "You’ve had your turn. Now it’s my turn to attack."


    With its hind legs, ck Puppyunched itself into mid-air, traveling at lightning speed, arriving before the giant centipede instantly.


    ck Puppy channeled its vital essence, striking out its right front paw which turned into a gigantic w.


    The w was enormous, extending a few kilometers and covering the skies. The trees, nts, and, rocks all shattered into ashes as the gigantic w came crashing down on the giant centipede.


    Sensing the w’s immense powers, the centipede immediately panicked. It realized that ck Puppy had held back during their previous exchange, and that it was an unrivaled ferocious demonic beast.
