Chapter 523: Chapter 216: Slaying the Autumn Beast, Dao Heart Bead, Purple Sand Spirit Soil
Yi Tian guessed that the reason the Autumn Beast could cast its talent from such a distance was related to its Spiritual Power.
However, the Autumn Beast’s Spiritual Attack was not as powerful as its physical attacks.
The Autumn Beast’s strength lay in its Physical Attack Power—just looking at its sharp claws, you could tell it had the power to split gold and stone.
Although the Autumn Beast’s Spiritual Power, enhanced by the Autumn Beast Domain and Mysteries of Wind LV.5, only had about 7800+ Attack Power.
"Awooo!"
When countless Wind Blades slashed toward Yi Tian, Fifth Child summoned a Water Dragon to protect the two Eastsea Falcons; all the Wind Blades in front were shattered by the Water Dragon.
Fifth Child’s Water Dragon, combined with Level 10 Mysteries of Water, had more than 9700 Attack Power.
With Spiritual Power boosted to 600, Fifth Child’s Water Dragon could last for about 25 seconds—unless a powerful attack shattered it directly.
The Autumn Beast’s Wind Blades weren’t up to that task.
"Gourd!"
Seventh-Child opened the gourd’s lid and raised it toward the sky; all the Wind Blades on the left were absorbed by the Purple Gourd.
"Dripping Water Carves Stone!"
Yi Tian waved his hand, scattering a hundred condensed water drops from his palm, each drop as heavy as a thousand pounds.
The Wind Blades on the right were all dealt with by these water drops.
"Little Black, Little Blue, charge!"
Yi Tian shouted lightly.
After this round of attacks, the Autumn Beast couldn’t cast again in a short time—it was gearing up to run.
With a Special Talent buff, its speed exceeded 5000.
After Little Black activated the Divine Eagle Bloodline, its speed reached 4000+.
If they were outside, it’d be hard to chase, but the Autumn Beast was already blocked at the mouth of the Valley of Death. With Little Black standing in the middle, as soon as the Autumn Beast tried to leave, it would inevitably enter Yi Tian’s attack range.
"Moo!"
The Autumn Beast tried to run along the canyon wall, but Little Black quickly appeared just over a kilometer away from it.
It spat a Wind Blade at Yi Tian.
"Pa!"
Yi Tian caught the Wind Blade with his bare hands; augmented by his Horizontal Refining of Tendons and Bones and Ancient Blessing, he easily crushed it.
"Ice and Fire Celestial Palm!"
When the distance closed to a thousand meters, certain of the kill, Yi Tian unleashed the Ice and Fire Celestial Palm.
The enormous energy burst out the moment it left his hand.
With much improved physical stats, Yi Tian could recover his meridians after five minutes even after casting Ice and Fire Celestial Palm.
He still expended 20% of his Spiritual Power, though.
"Whoosh!"
A purple shadow soared through the sky, howling with the tempest.
2177×(1+360%)×(1+160%)
A ferocious attack of more than 26,000 illuminated the rift, freezing the raging winds in an instant.
"Bang!"
At such close range, the Autumn Beast didn’t even have a chance to react—it was struck on its flank.
Its Heaven and Earth’s Favored Special Talent triggered, halving the damage taken, so the blow landed for 13,000+ damage.
That’s more than enough to be fatal.
After being hit by the Ice and Fire Celestial Palm, it slammed into the mountain wall.
"Moo..."
It collapsed to the ground, weakly flapping its wings, letting out a low, mournful cry. It knew its brief life was coming to an end...
In the next instant, the Autumn Beast froze into purple Ice Crystals, which shattered—leaving no trace of the Autumn Beast behind.
Two green, jade-like objects, along with a purple-gold Treasure Chest and a bead, appeared where the Autumn Beast vanished.
"Detected: Lord’s territory is a Ninth-Level Early-Tier Territory, with Mid-stage A Cultivation."
"Congratulations, Lord, for slaying the Autumn Beast—all non-Warrior intelligent beings in the territory receive +50 to Life Force, Constitution, and Agility."
"Congratulations, Lord, you have obtained Autumn Beast Celestial Bead*1, Venerable Treasure Chest*1, Autumn Beast’s Spirit*2."
After the Celestial Dao Stone’s message, a surge of energy rushed into Yi Tian’s body, baptizing and elevating him. Little Kiddo, Howling Moon Silver Wolf, and Eastsea Falcon too received the blessing.
At this moment, in Yi Tian’s territory—
Spiritual Qi surged in the sky. As it gathered to a threshold, Spirit Rain began to fall. All territory members, both combat and non-combat, received +50 to all three dimensions, the same as eating an SSS-level Spirit Fruit.
All territory members knew the Lord had just accomplished something that would become a landmark event.
"Detected: 404 territory members have advanced from B-level to A-level; Territory Points +121,200."
"Detected: 300 territory members have advanced from C-level to B-level; Territory Points +30,000. Current Territory Points: 10,412,550."
After the members’ promotion, the Celestial Dao Stone sent another reminder.
Among the newly advanced 404, 400 were Huo Qubing’s soldiers.
The other four were the four captains of the Dragon Sparrow Guard—Feng Dingjie, Rugao, Si Hu, and others.
The three hundred new B-levels are members of Galaxy Agriculture Company and Galaxy Catering Company.
Though they advanced, all current fighting forces in the territory are at least Mid-level B, so they still can’t go to the front lines.
After enhancement, Yi Tian’s Power is 2484, Constitution 2499, Agility 2509.
Yi Tian had also thought ahead about the Venerable Treasure Chest this time. After all, he now owned a Level 9 Territory.
Having obtained two Autumn Beast’s Spirits, Yi Tian was puzzled about why Number Nine didn’t absorb one himself—these spirits are extremely rare.
The Autumn Beast is so powerful—few A-level Lords could possibly slay one. For those below A-level, with their Bloodline and Talents, it’s almost impossible.
The Celestial Dao Rules place such importance on Body Refining—there’s no reason Number Nine wouldn’t pursue it.
Now Yi Tian understood—slaying the Autumn Beast yields two Autumn Beast’s Spirit. Perfect, Big Child and Third Child could each have one.
Half-Wind Body with Half-Thunder Body!
Little Black flew to the side of the Venerable Treasure Chest; Yi Tian instructed Seventh-Child to temporarily store it in the Purple Gourd.
Should they go home?
According to Ta Fang, the danger in the Valley of Death lies only in venturing deep. If you remain near the entrance, there’s no threat.
The Autumn Beast’s inability to enter is due to Celestial Dao Rules restrictions.
According to Ta Fang, other living creatures absolutely can go in.
Inside, it’s isolated like a No-fly Talisman, a world unto itself.
"Daddy, inside, it’s like the Power of Origin inside us—we’re far too weak!"
