Complete Martial Arts Attributes

During this journey, Wang Teng obtained several more heaven-stage origin beast cores, allowing him to continue having guidance.

As time passed once again. One hour, two hours, three hours…

In the meantime, Wang Teng encountered several origin beast groups, but he didn't charge into them.

Surprisingly, these origin beast groups contained universe-stage origin beasts.

Even though Wang Teng was powerful, facing universe-stage origin beasts was extremely tricky. He had to employ all of his hidden techniques to possibly defeat a universe-stage origin beast.

However, success was not guaranteed.

Therefore, in such situations, Wang Teng wouldn't be foolish enough to provoke those universe-stage origin beasts.

Luckily, he could use his origin beast clone to disguise himself as an origin beast, stealthily moving through.

At this moment, he condensed a bear-like origin beast, three to four meters tall, hiding himself within. Then, he entered a group of origin beasts.

The origin beasts didn't notice anything unusual about him, allowing him to pass through quietly.

Even the gigantic universe-stage origin beast, resembling a large eagle perched in the central position, glanced at him but didn't pay further attention.

Wang Teng let out a silent sigh of relief and cautiously continued forward.

Roar!

A bear-like origin beast, seemingly displeased with Wang Teng, charged directly at him.

"Hmm?" Wang Teng was slightly surprised, feeling a bit speechless. He had been behaving, yet this origin beast still came over to provoke him. Apparently, someone thought he was an easy target.

In this situation, Wang Teng had no way to avoid it. He had to take action.

This bear-like origin beast charging toward him was also a heaven-stage beast. Wang Teng didn't hold back. He condensed the power of the eighth-rank domain on his bear paw and fiercely pushed forward.

Boom!

The bear-like origin beast, just within a hundred meters, was slammed onto the ground by a massive golden palm print, turning into a lump of Force meatloaf.

"Roar!" Wang Teng controlled the origin beast clone to let out a roar.

The meaning was clear — don't mess with me!

Seeing this scene, many cosmos-stage origin beasts retreated, creating a path for Wang Teng to pass through.

Wang Teng raised a bear's head, swaggering forward.

This time went smoothly, and no original beasts rushed at him again.

After all, even in such a group of origin beasts with a universe-stage creature, there weren't many heaven-stage origin beasts. The other heaven-stage origin beasts were relatively far away and they stayed in their lanes, minding their own business.

Now that the bear-like origin beast was defeated by Wang Teng, they recognized him as the new leader and wouldn't come close.

Wang Teng arrived at a cave entrance, walked in, and then sprinted away, leaving the origin beast group behind.

"It's getting hotter and hotter!"

Wang Teng furrowed his brow. Even though he used the Nether Frost, he could feel the temperature around him rising steadily.

Compared to before, the temperature increase here was more pronounced, soaring by a significant margin every few kilometers.

The surrounding space seemed to distort slightly.

This phenomenon usually occurs when the temperature reaches a certain level.

"It seems like we are indeed getting close to the core," Wang Teng said with a glint in his eyes, finding more excitement than concern.

For him, the rising temperature posed no significant threat. No matter how high the temperature went, it couldn't surpass the divine flames.

Even if the Nether Frost couldn't withstand it, he still had the Hornless Ice Dragon Pearl, making him completely unafraid of the high temperatures.

However…

After seven or eight hours, Wang Teng stopped, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and took out the Hornless Ice Dragon Pearl to shield himself from the surrounding high temperatures.

"Seriously? How can it be this hot?" Wang Teng was a bit speechless.

"I told you to use the Hornless Ice Dragon Pearl earlier, but you insisted on using the Nether Frost," Round Ball teased.

"Alright, I admit it was a mistake on my part," Wang Teng said, shaking his head.

In truth, he could use the divine flames to isolate the external temperature as well. However, compared to that, the Hornless Ice Dragon Pearl was more comfortable.

Wang Teng persisted forward.

"Wang Teng, have you noticed that it seems to have become quiet around here? There's not even a single origin beast in sight," Round Ball remarked.

"Yeah, I haven't seen any origin beasts for three hours now." Wang Teng paused, nodded, and peered around with vigilance.

The surroundings were unusually quiet. Streams of hot air spewed out from each cave resemble a giant beast exhaling, yet the flow of these air currents produced no sound. It was as if the caves absorbed any noise.

Wang Teng's footsteps on the ground were silent, and he had completely restrained his breath. Even origin beasts would find it challenging to detect his presence.

Simultaneously, he activated his Real Eye, scrutinizing each cave.

The heaven-stage origin beast core ahead chose a cave and flew into it.

Wang Teng was about to follow.

However, at the next moment, he abruptly halted his steps!

In a mere instant, that heaven-stage origin beast core vanished as if it had been swallowed.

Within the Fire Element Mountain, Wang Teng's Real Eye had limited range. The origin beast core was originally within his line of sight. Yet, it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

This was the first moment Wang Teng had encountered such a situation since entering the Fire Element Mountain.

His expression slightly turned serious, and he carefully observed the surroundings. Then, he gradually vanished on the spot.

Space concealment!

At this moment, he utilized his most secretive method of hiding.

Ever since he acquired the Black Shadow Scripture from the Shadow Fortress, he had been constantly using this technique to conceal his aura completely.

However, Wang Teng sensed it wasn't enough. After pondering for a moment, he activated the Shadow Power, a force he hadn't used until now.

His Shadow Power was only at the first rank and quite limited, but as it covered him, Wang Teng seamlessly melded with the shadows, providing an additional layer of protection.

Satisfied with the three layers of safeguards in place, Wang Teng nodded and cautiously stepped into the cave where the origin beast core had vanished.

He was currently moving within the crevices of space. However, universe-stage origin beasts could lock down space, so his methods weren't entirely secure.

Carefully proceeding forward, Wang Teng entered the cave. The cave was bathed in a fiery red glow, with an unexpectedly high temperature that even diminished the effectiveness of the Hornless Ice Dragon Pearl.

After covering a few kilometers without encountering any danger, Wang Teng remained vigilant.

At this moment, the cave seemed to reach its end, and the exit was visible ahead. Wang Teng cautiously moved forward.

As he did, he saw an extremely dazzling red glow with his Real Eye.

F**k!

He couldn't help but curse involuntarily at the brilliance of the light, which nearly blinded him.

The radiance was so intense that it almost seared his eyes. Bloodshot lines appeared in his eyes, spreading across the entire eyeballs, making them look eerily menacing.

Wang Teng hastily closed his eyes and deactivated the Real Eye. He dared not look any longer.

His eyes might genuinely be damaged if he did.

Wang Teng closed his eyes and let his spiritual power circulate through the eye sockets, soothing the stinging sensation. Slowly, he opened his eyes again.

"What on earth is this?" His expression turned extremely serious as he peered towards the exit. A hint of hesitation appeared on his face.

Should he cross that exit?

He couldn't be certain about what was on the other side. What if there were dangers?

Yet, having come this far, it would be a waste of effort to turn back now.

Wang Teng shook his head, giving a wry smile. Without further hesitation, he headed towards the exit, quickly arriving at the entrance.

Peering inside, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

A vast space unfolded before him. Though impressive, it wouldn't have astonished him on its own.

However, within this expansive space, a bizarre and gigantic monstrous beast floated mid-air.

Numerous red tentacles extended from the creature, connecting to the surrounding rock walls as if intricately linked to the entire Fire Element Mountain.

Beneath the horrifying beast, there was an abyss of immeasurable depth.
