Chapter 478: Chapter 445 Mass Upgrade_1

“Dead?”

Xiao Tian Yuan was so shocked that he felt somewhat numb.

He had learned from Xu Mu that the Martial Saints and Martial Arts Grandmasters who had ambushed them were all slain.

This news hit him like a tidal wave, continuously shocking his senses.

These were dozens of Martial Saints and hundreds of Martial Arts Grandmasters, a force that could crush everything in their path, and Xu Mu had just defeated them in the amount of time it took to brew a pot of tea.

Xiao Tian Yuan had already overestimated their abilities, but it seemed he had still underestimated them.

His teacher had probably reached the realm of a Martial God.

At this moment, Xiao Tian Yuan truly submitted to Xu Mu.

The difference in strength was too great. To his eyes, Xu Mu was like a god, and he wouldn’t dare to be disloyal.

The others were also shocked and held him in high reverence.

Xu Mu did not share the details with everyone. They didn’t know that there were also three Martial Emperors among them, otherwise, they would have been even more shocked.

“I obtained a few things when I killed them. Let’s use them to enhance your strength. You choose!”

Xu Mu took out some beast essence from the corpses and let those close to him choose.

The ones who had attempted to ambush him were not only there for him. They were also hunting beasts to increase their strength.

On the contrary, ambushing Xu Mu was merely an additional task for them.

These people, gathered together, were powerful and fearless. Although the total number of beasts they killed might not match that of the Da Xia Nation, the quality far exceeded that. There were even many beast essences of Martial Ancestors and Martial Saints, and even a few Martial Emperors’ worth.

Zhang Ergou coveted the Martial Emperor level beast essence, but Xu Mu had warned him that he could only handle as much essence as a Martial Emperor, and that it would take extensive training before he would be able to integrate more.

So, he simply watched with envy, but didn’t choose.

The others, however, did not hesitate and eagerly chose beasts suited to their abilities.

Yang Jiang chose a Martial Ancestor-level Howling Moon Sky Wolf!

Nan Hu chose a Martial Saint-level Six-winged Thunderbird!

Yin Wen chose a Martial Saint-level Six-tailed White Fox!

Yue didn’t choose anything, there were no plant-based beasts.

Mu Chen and Sheng TieFeng, two closely-related Martial Ancestors, had the opportunity to select as well. Being tactful, they only selected Martial Saint-level beast essence.

As for Xiao Tian Yuan, he did not choose.

The beast that he had merged with was already of the Martial Emperor level. But because his vitality was insufficient, he was unable to breakthrough to the Martial Emperor level, therefore he could not integrate a new beast.

“Since you’ve chosen, let me help you integrate them!

At Xu Mu’s statement, everyone was filled with excitement.

To tell the truth, merely choosing a beast essence wasn’t enough to incite a lot of excitement.

Like Xiao Tian Yuan, even if he has a Martial Emperor level beast essence, but could not fully integrate it and unleash its full power, it was meaningless.

The beast essence integrated only represented their potential, and did not guarantee they would be able to attain that level.

Thus, most people wouldn’t rashly try to integrate higher-level beast essence.

What truly excited them was that Xu Mu had a way to help them integrate and enhance it to their limit.

This was what truly excited and attracted them.

Xu Mu drained the remaining beast essence and absorbed it into his body to assist others in their integration.

Under his guidance, everyone successfully completed the integration, their strength was completely refreshed, advancing by several levels.

Sheng TieFeng and Mu Chen were so excited that they were somewhat disoriented.

The Martial Saint realm, it was a level they had dreamed of reaching. In the outside world, they could suppress a whole nation’s existence.

They had not dared to hold much hope before, but now they managed to easily overthrow it.

If they continue to follow this young master, they might be able to reach the Martial Emperor realm.

This time, the two of them completely submitted to Xu Mu. Even if someone tried to drive them away with a stick, they probably wouldn’t leave.

The last one was Xiao Tian Yuan!

When the Savage Beast spoke of helping him to enhance his power, his heart nearly jumped out of his chest.

Honestly, it was already outrageous for Xu Mu to help a few of them elevate their abilities to the Martial Saint realm. He had thought about reaching the Martial Emperor realm, but reason told him it was impossible.

But now Xu Mu spoke up and actually planned to help him ascend.

His extinguished hope was rekindled.

Xiao Tian Yuan nervously stepped forward. He wanted to ask if it was real, but he was afraid to speak out, fearing it was all an illusion.

It felt like he was deceiving himself.

Xu Mu didn’t pay attention to Xiao Tian Yuan’s apprehension. The refined blood he had processed integrated into Xiao Tian Yuan’s body. After helping him refine his marrow and improve his constitution, he directly advanced to the Martial Emperor level.

Xiao Tian Yuan stood there, feeling the immense power inside his body. He was speechless for a long time. In the end, all he could do was deeply bow to Xu Mu.

“Learn a new principle in the morning; benefit a death in the evening.” Now, even if he would die for Xu Mu, he wouldn’t frown.

Truth be told, such a rapid enhancement of strength would be impossible in the Cultivation Realm.

The reason he could easily do it was entirely related to the cultivation system of this world.

It’s more appropriate to say that the martial artists of this world borrow force rather than cultivate.

They borrow the power of savage beasts. They actually don’t need to work hard themselves. The only difficulty is subduing the beast spirit.

This method of soul fusion is catered by this world, but in the Cultivation Realm, it presents a huge drawback and almost ensures a failure to reach higher realms in the future.

Upon reaching higher realms, one must face the Heart Demon tribulation. This kind of strength, gained without a foundation and rapidly raised, is inherently unstable.

In addition to the fusion of foreign souls, which creates numerous gaps in one’s mind, attempting to cross the catastrophe would surely result in death.

The only way to make progress is to keep going down the same path and attempt to fuse with more powerful savage beasts.

However, these people have already completed fusion and can’t change anymore.

Moreover, even if they could change, what good would it do? Being unable to leave this world would still mean a dead end.

After helping a few of them enhance their strength, Xu Mu decided not to bring this group of people on the road anymore.

On one hand, their gains were already enough. On the other hand, advances toward the depths were dangerous, and he wouldn’t be able to protect so many people even if he wanted to.

Xu Mu’s original intention was to only bring along Yue and a few of his direct subordinates. This was also why he helped a few people enhance their strength.

But Xiao Tian Yuan insisted on serving him, being completely conquered by Xu Mu.

“Now that Mu Chen and Tie Feng have both reached the Martial Saint realm, they are enough to control the Da Xia Nation. It doesn’t matter if I don’t go back,” said Xiao Tian Yuan.

Sheng TieFeng and Mu Chen wore bitter expressions. They also wanted to follow, but Xiao Tian Yuan was their superior and was, in a sense, their benefactor. They felt awkward to refuse.

“If that’s the case, then come along.”

Xu Mu didn’t mind it and didn’t need to fuss about such a minor matter. Whether it was one more or one fewer person, it was almost the same to him.

As Xiao Tian Yuan’s strength was already enough to protect himself, Xu Mu didn’t need to pay extra attention to his safety.

Everyone separated here. Xu Mu led Xiao Tian Yuan and a few others deeper into the wilderness.

The Wilderness was incredibly vast. With their current speed, it would be almost impossible to explore it all within three months. Therefore, Xu Mu decided not to leave this time and to wait until next year to venture out.

Because of this thought, their pace was not fast.

One day, as they were traveling, Yue suddenly stood up, looking dazedly into the distance as if she had lost her soul.

“Brother, there’s a familiar person ahead, constantly calling me.”
