There are many varieties of spiritual herbs and plants scattered about the rough grassy terrain, with spirit fruits growing from humongous ancient trees. Their branches became so large they appeared to have blocked off the sky as they stretched across the wild forestry deep within the mountain range.
Rooarr!!!!
Faintly, the cries of various types of essence beasts could be heard resounding throughout the entire region further increasing the wild and untamed atmosphere.
The sky was getting bleak, as specks of water drops had started to fall from the clouds dropping around the region. One drop of water fell on top of a colossal tree towering the area amongst other trees, flowing on top of a large leaf the size of two men. Finally, dripping on a figure hidden underneath its covering.
Pat!
"It seems that the rain is about to begin," Feng Yu said while wiping the raindrop from his forehead.
He perched silently on top of a large branch his form camouflaged by many gigantic leaves. Occasionally, his ears would make a slight twitching motion as he carefully scouted the region, soon, his gaze became fixed towards a specific location within a dense field of tall grass. Shortly after, a figure became visible swiftly making its way through the tall thickets with high speed and skill. It was a panther moving agilely and carefully. This panther was three meters tall five meters in length with purples stripes covering its black skin.
Strangely enough, despite its massive frame, there was no sound as it swiftly made its way through the shrubs. Very quickly, it arrived at Feng Yu's location an seemed to have picked up his scent as it carefully sniffed the region, an intelligent gleam could be seen through its dark eyes.
Swissssh!!
"Scorching Mantis Strike!" seeing an opening Feng Yu quickly launched an attack utilizing the first stance of the <Blazing Mantis Palm Arts>.
As if sensing the danger beforehand the panther promptly evaded backward leaving an afterimage in its wake demonstrating astounding flexibility. Sensing that its opponent's cultivation was no stronger than itself, it immediately repositioned itself into attack posture an gave off a loud roar while dashing towards Feng Yu.
Rooaarrr!!!!! Swoosh!!
"Chet! It's fast!" feeling a bit surprised by the panther's speed Feng Yu frowned while grumbling. However, he didn't dare to let his guard down either quickly he got into the 'Mantis Stance' preparing to counterattack the panther's speedy assault.
A cunning glint could be seen in the panther's eyes as it made a mocking expression, with a slight shake of its body, another afterimage appeared which branched off into multiple similar afterimages agilely traversing the distance while shuttling amongst each other creating an illusive spectacle.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
"Hmph! Such a cunning cat, are you forcing me into a frontal assault? It seems that your specialty quite exquisite indeed. Sadly, you're underestimating me too much!" Feng Yu inwardly praised its Movement Technique while sneering. He swiftly dashed towards the images of the panther utilizing his <Lightning Flash Steps> Movement Skill. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com
Flash! Flash! Flash!
After a series of lines similar to lightning, Feng Yu's figure abruptly appeared within the center of the panther's afterimages. As if in slow motion, he lifted his hands slowly and began swiping his palms out in a fluid style leaving multiple remnant outlines after each swipe. Soon, his hands became blurry due to the speed of his palm attacks. They struck all the images of the panther instantly dispersing the illusion ability caused by its stunning movement speed.
A look of shock could be seen in the eyes of the panther as it swiftly made a retreating motion.
Seeing this act, Feng Yu mocked, "HA! You're too late!" with another flash, he quickly disappeared from the panther's field of vision leaving only a bright trailing line of lightning.
Before the panther could react, a flash of red light swept across its neck all the way towards its sternum.
Like a ghost, Feng Yu appeared below its underbelly with his back facing the front of the panther while sustaining the Mantis Attack Stance. He crouched on the ground, with one leg in front of the other, his right hand was positioned towards the ground while his hand on the left was held high above his head with its palm curved over. Droplets of blood could be seen dripping from the index finger on his right palm, as it faced towards the ground.
Pat. Pat.
Roooaaaarrr!!
Looking at undefended prey in front of him, the panther roared in rage preparing to unleash its most powerful method.
Puff!!!!
A line of blood appeared trailing from the back of its neck all the way to front, panicked the panther want to run away, but the situation was already decided.
Soon the light in the panther's eyes faded away, and its head flew from its main body leaving traces of burn marks on the ripped surface, bloodshot fort like a geyser spraying around the green grass and covering the area in shades of bloody red. The pungent scent of blood began to linger throughout the air.
Wiping the blood off his hands, Feng Yu then said in a disappointed manner, "It seems I'm still far away from achieving insights into the third stance. I imbued my 'Blurry Mantis Palms' with the strength of fire essence to complete state finally. But, I don't have a slight clue as to how to execute the Third Move: Blazing Palm Wave. Sigh, It's only been four days since I started hunting, there should still be plenty of time."
"This Purple Stripe Black Panther should be my 5th Five-Star Tier 1 Essence Beast, now that I've warmed up I should go try some stronger creatures."
Essence Beasts are creatures that could to cultivate using the essences of heaven and earth each of which is no less intelligent than humans beings, like cultivators they are divided into different tiers according to the strength. Tier 1 Essence Beasts have the strength of a Body Training realm expert ranking from a low level to high level through the use of the 'Star Ranking System.'
Generally, from 1 Star to 9 Star would be the same as 1st Tier to 9th Tier of each corresponding Martial Cultivation Realm. Tier 1 to Tier 4 beasts is usually referred to as Essence Beasts, while Tier 5 to Tier 8 beasts are referred to as Supreme Beasts.
There are stories of another type of creature that is unable to be categorized as merely 'Beast Kind' but, that is a story of a distant, ancient time.

The rain was falling harshly within the mountain range, and the thunder echoed throughout the surroundings drawing the liveliness of the environment to the gloomy atmosphere of nature once again revealing its might.
FLASH! KA-BANG!
A flash of lightning struck towards a distant location instantly destroying a large rock hidden within the forestry of the steep mountainside, shortly after, however, another three flashes of lightning appeared swiftly traversing through the region leaving a long trailing line each flashes apart.
Flash! Flash! Flash!
Feng Yu's form could be seen flashing from location to location within the mountain forest each flash taking him 15 meters away from each other. A sign that he has reached the perfection of small success stage in the <Lightning Flash Steps> movement skill.
He soon arrived at an area with a dense collection of trees, carefully making his way through the trees on their branches Feng Yu saw a field in front of him hidden away from the outside due to trees.
"Oh, Here should be a good place to take a rest from this awful weather. Hmm, maybe I should give it a quick inspection first to be sure. "after making a quick decision, he headed towards the field.
Hou! Hou! Hou!
As he drew closer to the area sounds of apes could be heard within the field.
"There are creatures here, I should be a little more cautious." swiftly he flashed and vanished into a shrubbery the size of a fully grown man.
Now the field was in full view, looking through the dense shrubbery in front him he saw a community of apes playing around in a small lake. These apes had beautiful silver fur and had long muscular arms, a few of the young apes were eating fruits and lying on the ground while the elder apes were mixing collected fruits into a large Jar carefully.
Soon the smell of liquor drifted towards the surroundings, taking a quick whiff Feng Yu instantly became excited.
"Monkey Liquor!!!!! What great luck! To come here at such a time when it's about to be brewed. Hmm, that color, these must be Silver Furred Apes."
Curious, Feng Yu wanted to try out the strength of these Silver Furred Ape's but decided against it. His priority now was to steal the Jar of Monkey Liquor.
Monkey Liquor, it is said to be a rare medicinal alcohol created by 'Ape Kind' not only is it capable of healing severe injuries by drinking it. The Monkey Liquor could also help one build a firmer foundation allowing for more natural and quicker breakthroughs in lower cultivation realms.
"With this liquor, I should be able to stabilize my foundation at a quicker pace and clear up the hidden effects of multiple realm breakthroughs back at the clan." Feng Yu said as calmed his thoughts and carefully observed the situation.
Soon the Monkey Liquor was completed, and all the Silver Furred Apes began to shout excitedly as they gathered around the Jar.
ROOOAAAARRRR!!!!!
As the saying goes, 'Birds Die in Search of Food,' and like birds, many animals share the same basic instinct. Suddenly, a Gigantic Red Tiger that was 10 meters in height 15 meters length appeared with a golden crown that had nine stars shining brightly on its forehead. It lifted its head and roared towards the sky demonstrating its prestige for a moment soon after charging towards the area of elder apes with the Jar of monkey liquor. A look of greed could be seen in its eyes as it stared at the jar of monkey liquor.
Feng Yu called out in shock "Golden Crown Red Tiger King!!!!!!!!"
Hou! Hou! Hou!!
The apes were furious, they rushed out in an attempt to block the Red Tiger King but was soon smashed away like paper with a swipe of its humongous paws.
Still shocked Feng Yu pondered "A 9 Star Tier 1 Essence Beast like this is willing to fight these Silver Furred Apes for the Monkey Liquor, could it be on the verge of a breakthrough towards Tier 2?"
Smashing away all the weaker Silver Furred Apes the Tiger King was excited as it was about to reach the Monkey Liquor. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com
"RED TIGER, HOW DARE YOU!!!!!!!!!"
Suddenly the essences of heaven and earth became chaotic once again as a voice echoed across the perimeter.
WOOSSSHHH!!!! BOOOMMM!!!!!!!!!!!
An Ancient Tree 50 meters tall requiring at least 35 men to surround it with their arms was instant snapped into two halves. The figure that appeared was like that of a Silver Furred Ape but was golden in color, and It had a height of 30 meters with arms as thick as large water barrels. There were nine stars also shining brightly on its chest. It gave off a primordial aura of ancient and supreme might.
"GOLDEN FURRED APE KING!!!!!!!!!!" Feng Yu was stricken with fear.
As if sharing the same shock as Feng Yu the Golden Crown Tiger King looked with an expression of Terror on its face.
