On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

Chapter 310: The Xuelou race

"I didn't consider there was a monk in the Qi Refinement Realm who could sense my presence. Impressive."

The figure looked up at Chen Tian with piercing red eyes that conveyed genuine admiration.

Chen Tian flew slightly closer, curiosity swirling within him as he stared back. The figure was wearing a cloak, making it hard to discern any distinct features.

To Chen Tian's shock, the figure wasn't human!

Humans, beasts, and demons all have unique characteristics that set them apart from one another. Their meridians also flow in different ways, and their energy signatures are distinct.

Now that the figure was in front of him, Chen Tian's powerful spiritual sense revealed that this being wasn't human.

Not only that, but he also sensed that this figure had the cultivation of the 5th Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

An individual with this kind of cultivation could cause immense damage on Earth, beyond what Chen Tian could imagine.

'How is that possible? Where did this person come from?' Chen Tian thought, feeling a sense of unease wash over him.

His first thought was whether there were others like this person on Earth, and if so, how many? Were they a threat to humanity? These thoughts raced through his mind.

"Hufff~~"

"You smell delicious. It's been years since I encountered such potent spiritual energy," the figure said, eyes glinting with hunger. Stay updated through M V L

Chen Tian realized that this being had likely sensed the spiritual Qi in his body, which explained why it had followed him.

"Who are you?" Chen Tian asked, trying to identify the mysterious figure.

"Hehehe~~, oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My bad, I was really absorbed by your energy. My name is Malakai, and I am a Xuelou," the figure replied with a sinister grin.

Chen Tian's confusion deepened as he tried to make sense of the situation.

'What exactly is a Xuelou?' he thought.

He had never heard of such a race, even in his first life. As he pondered this, the voice of Wu Ye echoed in his mind.

"What on earth is a Xuelou doing here!" Wu Ye expressed her shock at the appearance of a Xuelou in this world.

"Do you know what that is?" Chen Tian's curiosity grew at her reaction.

"You don't know?" Wu Ye asked doubtfully.

"The Xuelou are a race that resembles slender humans with athletic builds. Their skin is pale, almost sickly white, with a network of crimson veins pulsing beneath the surface.

They possess the terrifying ability to perfectly mimic the appearance of any race by absorbing its blood. This includes not only physical features but also mannerisms, speech patterns, and even memories.

This allows them to infiltrate any race's settlements, sow discord, and unleash chaos from within. They can also draw upon the life essence of any living being, draining them of strength and vitality.

The Xuelou race boasts exceptional senses, particularly sight and smell. Their crimson eyes pierce through darkness, allowing them to track prey in even the most challenging conditions."

Wu Ye's explanation left Chen Tian even more puzzled.

'Since when did such a race exist in the nine heavens?'

In all his life adventuring the nine heavens, Chen Tian had never heard of such a race. He felt that something was wrong. 'Maybe this race emerged years after my death. I still don't know how much time has passed since then.'

Chen Tian thought deeply as he tried to make sense of the information Wu Ye had shared. Stranger still, this person claiming to be from the Xuelou race was on Earth. How did he get here?

Now, the most important thing was to deal with the being in front of him.

"From your reaction, it seems you have a clear understanding of my race, don't you?" Malakai smirked, his eyes gleaming with amusement.

Chen Tian paused, studying Malakai's expression carefully. He sensed a hint of arrogance in the way the other held himself.

Chen Tian's eyes suddenly widened as bolts of lightning cracked and danced around his body. Without hesitation, Chen Tian performed the "Heavenly Lightning Steps [2nd Step]" and swiftly retreated several meters away.

BUGGG~~!!

BANG~~!!!

The place where he had stood moments ago was now engulfed in blood-red spikes protruding from the ground.

"Tskk! Hehehe! My plan to distract you seems to have failed, but that's good; it's been a while since I last enjoyed myself," Malakai chuckled, his smirk never leaving his face. His red eyes glinted with excitement.

WOOSHHH~~!!!

With incredible speed, he lunged at Chen Tian, as two crimson wings sprouted from his back before he closed the distance between them.

"Hehehe!! Finally, after all these years, I will have a tasty meal!!" Malakai's red eyes shone with excitement, saliva dripping from his mouth. Chen Tian noticed his sharp teeth and the changed aura around him.

"Haha! Human monk, I should thank you for providing me with such a delicious feast," Malakai's voice was filled with malice as he prepared to strike.

Razor-sharp claws made of blood formed on his fingers, glinting in the dim light.

Chen Tian quickly drew his Grade 4 sword and raised it to defend himself.

BANNG!!

The clash was deafening as the two opponents faced off. Chen Tian could feel the power radiating from Malakai, realizing that he wasn't someone to be taken lightly.

Despite this, Chen Tian wasn't worried.

With a strong aura emanating from Malakai, Chen Tian was determined not to lose.

BAM!

The cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Realm erupted within Chen Tian, causing a surge of energy to flow through his veins.

The sword in his hand seemed to hum with power as he swung it towards Malakai.

As the two clashed once again, but this time, Chen Tian struck that sent Malakai flying back with a forceful blow.

"Whaa!" Malakai let out a grunt as he struggled to regain his balance.

His body froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered and charged back at Chen Tian with even more intensity.

He hadn't expected Chen Tian to also be in the Foundation Establishment Realm, assuming he was merely a Qi Refinement cultivator.

But so what? He wasn't afraid.

'The taste of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is even more enticing,' a creepy laugh escaped from Malakai's lips as red energy surrounded him.
