It's been three months since then, and apart from encountering the lightning snake and the bloody bear last time, there have been no more demon beasts. The forest is still quiet and oppressive, though the air is fine, it's just too boring. During these three months, Wu Tian has learned the upgraded version of the fusion stage spells, Ice Sword and Thunder Palm, as well as the Golden Core stage Fire Rain technique, and has been practicing and refining them until now.
Ahead is another small river, similar to the ones before where no attacks or similar incidents have occurred since encountering the lightning snake. However, this river is slightly larger than the previous ones. Wu Tian carefully surveyed the surroundings and found no demon beasts. He couldn't tell if there were any in the sky, but flying a sword in the sky was too conspicuous, so Wu Tian didn't dare to fly. He surveyed the area with his spiritual sense and strangely found a small lake about 300 meters ahead of the small river. There had never been such a situation before. Wu Tian felt a little uneasy, but after observing the area carefully and finding no danger, he cautiously approached the lake. His unease grew stronger the closer he got to the lake, and he knew that there must be a demon beast or some other presence in the area. Before encountering other cultivators, Wu Tian had only encountered two fusion-stage demon beasts.
After observing the area for nearly an hour and finding no source of unease, Wu Tian narrowed his eyes. If there was nothing on the surface, then it must be at the bottom of the lake. Looking through the leaves, he saw that the lake was still and without ripples. His gaze shifted to the bottom of the lake, but he found nothing suspicious. This made Wu Tian feel strange because his unease had not dissipated, and it was not an illusion. Why did he feel more uneasy the closer he got to the lake?
It seemed that he had to take the initiative to attack in order for the other party to reveal themselves. Wu Tian was still young and inexperienced, and prone to impulsiveness. He figured that the presence that made him uneasy must be at the bottom of the lake, probably using something he didn't know to conceal itself. Thinking of the lake, Wu Tian realized that his Ice Sword, a fusion stage spell, would be useful. He activated his Ice Sword mark.
A massive amount of spiritual energy gathered quickly along with Wu Tian's gestures, condensing into small ice arrows with great penetrating power. Wu Tian had tested this ability many times before. The arrows shot towards the small lake.
Afterwards, he released the Huoli hood to lure out whatever was making him uneasy. The bottom of the lake was completely stirred up, and a large amount of water splashed on the surface of the lake. However, after waiting for a while and everything had settled down, Wu Tian found that nothing had come out, which made him depressed. Was he really being paranoid? Was this peaceful forest causing him to have hallucinations? He removed the Huoli hood and walked out. But just then, "Boom...." a thunderbolt hit Wu Tian.
He was thrown 5 meters away, and if it weren't for a sudden flash in his head, the thunderbolt that was heading towards his head would have seriously injured or killed him. Although it missed an important part, his left shoulder was still hit. The entire shoulder was burnt, which seriously injured Wu Tian.

Wu Tian quickly released the Huoli hood, took out a Huiyuandan left by his master, and ate it. His true energy quickly repaired the injuries on his shoulder. He released his flying sword to protect himself and looked around.
It wasn't until a long time later that the lake surface splashed, and "plop... plop..." water bubbles appeared in front of Wu Tian. A three-meter tall colorful golden bull appeared.
Seeing the patterns on the colorful golden bull's body, Wu Tian was suddenly shocked. According to the jade slip, this must be the Five-colored Golden Bull from the demon realm. When he saw its golden horns, Wu Tian was shocked. The Five-colored Golden Bull King? Ordinary Five-colored Golden Bulls only have two horns, while the Five-colored Golden Bull King has three horns. The middle golden horn, according to the jade slip, could release Heavenly Thunder in an instant. The attack he just suffered must have been from this Heavenly Thunder.
A demon beast at the Golden Core stage? Wu Tian observed the demon beast from inside the Huoli hood, feeling cold sweat on his forehead. He had to find a way to escape.
"Moo..." an angry sound came from its nose, and the Five-colored Golden Bull King looked at Wu Tian with red eyes inside the Huoli hood.
This Five-colored Golden Bull was no worse than a Bloody Bear in defense. Moreover, its strength was also great. The key was that this guy could release Heavenly Thunder instantly. The attack he had just suffered showed that this Heavenly Thunder was very powerful. Did he really come to the demon realm as the legend said? It was impossible! It was said that one had to go to a fixed place to enter the demon realm in the universe, and even his master did not know where that was. It was impossible for these powerful demon beasts to appear in the Cultivation Realm. So how could he explain what was happening in front of him?
But the three demon beasts he had encountered before only attacked him instinctively and didn't know much about demon arts, or he could say that they were mentally abnormal. In fact, the wisdom of demon beasts was not lower than that of humans. How could they attack him without reason?
Although the Five-Colored Golden Bull King has never seen himself before, judging from his battle with the two monsters, he probably cannot exert his full strength. However, according to the jade slip, demonic beasts in the Golden Core stage have their own inner core and can use it to attack their enemies. The power of the inner core increases with the strength of the demonic beast, and the inner core of a demonic beast in the Nascent Soul stage is probably stronger than a spiritual weapon.
Based on the Five-Colored Golden Bull King's momentum, he should be evenly matched with himself. As long as he is careful of his thunder and inner core, he still has a good chance of escaping. Wu Tian doesn't want to kill the Five-Colored Golden Bull King now, not because he doesn't want to, but because he doesn't have the ability to do so at the moment.
The Five-Colored Golden Bull King did not attack him crazily, but kept staring at him, with the water surface supporting his body. Gradually, the Five-Colored Golden Bull's body shrank. In a moment, it had shrunk to only about one meter, and then to Wu Tian's surprise, its body stood up and transformed into a human with a bull's head? The Five-Colored Golden Bull King gradually walked to the shore. With a loud boom as he stepped on the ground, the sound of his foot hitting the ground was enough to show how powerful he was. It might not be too impressive for those in the Yuanying stage or higher, but for Wu Tian now, it was a matter of life and death. The Five-Colored Golden Bull King's eyes became increasingly red, as if he couldn't control himself. The muscles on his body bulged slightly and turned red, and his nose was panting heavily. His gaze at Wu Tian was chilling.
How is this possible? He...he's not crazed? Wu Tian looked at the Five-Colored Golden Bull King with a horrified expression in his heart.
