Holding the title Earl for the South Eastern State, Altima proceeds slowly in an exploration pace, thoroughly exploring around the state before he reaches the Wu Di Royal City. In between of the way, Altima encountered a large amount of Demonic Beast as well as the ingredient, where he had it all gathered and refined into a sizable amount of Medicinal Pills to be presented as a gift to his brother and Wu Di Family Faction.
On a fruitful encounter, Altima actually met a beautiful and untamed Warrior Grade Demonic Beast, the Silver Six-Tailed Fox. During the fateful meeting, Altima rescued this injured Six-Tailed Fox when it is chased by a large number of Demonic Dark Hounds. Similar to Silver Six-Tailed Fox in the term of strength, the Demonic Dark Hound is always well known to be the off breeder, where they are often being found ravaging different type of beast to copulate and creating different gene of Demonic Dark Hounds.
"Get the Hell lost from here!", Altima shouts on the pack of 6 male hounds before he swings his spear around and had all of them escaped along with their lives.
With the pack of hounds running away, Altima spends some time treating the Silver Six-Tailed Fox, applying many different methods due to the different constitution between Beast and Human. In the end of the 3rd hour spent on treating its injuries, Altima finally manages to save the fox from death, thus receiving its loyalty.
Naming the Fox (Silvia), Altima proceeds with to the Royal City, only to stumble upon a Spatial Portal Next.
"Brother Mobi, check the Spatial Realm.", Altima quickly had his brother inspect the spatial Portal, while he himself explore the surroundings for any abnormality, as well as the safety and condition around this portal.
"Little bro, this portal seems to be opened randomly in different time, if we miss this opportunity, who know when we can stumble on this realm ever again.", Mobi quickly sends his thought to Altima.
"Brother Mobi, if in that case, let us quickly enter the Spatial Portal, my inspection sense nothing different on the surrounding.", Altima quickly makes his decision and enter the spatial Portal without a second thought along with Silvia.
Being transferred on a rough spatial travel, Altima finally enters a wide tunnel, where it could fit at least 10 adults standing in a wide distance. Checking on the murals etched on the walls, Altima notice a few specific drawing which had been repeated all over again on the wall, with only a few different limbs on each. Taking precaution on his surrounding, Altima quickly had the interface scanned the surrounding before he makes any move.
After he meditates for a total of 1 hour, the Report from Interface Scanning finally came, but no information is obtained except a rough sketch of the map is displayed. By taking in consideration on the possibility of traps is still active within this tunnel, Altima summons Victor and Vector deployed by his side. With both Goblin Berserker around, Altima has a greater confidence to explore this tunnel safely along with his way.
But out of his expectation, the journey along the path is safe and sound, without a single living being is spotted except more and more murals along the wall. Allowing Mobi to remember and save the picture of each mural, Altima quickly reaches the end of the Tunnel, where it leads to a dome shape hall. Within the hall, a total of 96 Doors is arranged in a set of 11 Bottom Doors and 1 Upper Door, and divided into a total of 8 set, almost identical to the Diagram in Bagua.
Standing in the Middle of the Centre Podium, Altima notices a total of 8 different Gemstone attached in the middle of the podium, where he could inject a sizable amount of Yin and Yang Essence Energy into the Gem to activate the formation.
"Seems like within this 96 doors, there Is only 64 correct Doors to be opened and challenged. Perhaps I should follow the arrangement from the starting of the tunnel to the end. Brother Mobi, can you came out with a pattern or arrangement plan ?"
This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.
"Perhaps we can start trying from the Upper and Lower Heaven Arrangement ?"
With Immediate action, Altima quickly starts his first try to control the Gem. Shaping his Yin and Yang Essence into the Shape of 43rd Hexagram of Displacement, Altima had his Essence Energy injected into the gemstone and activate the formation. A slight tremor and growls came out from the opening door, along with a Strong Demonic Beast, as if it's ready for the challenge from this human.
"Growl!"
Without notice, the Demonic Beast charge toward Altima, putting him as the target to be eliminated without prejudice. The beast starts by swinging its strong and quick claws trying to decapitate Altima into shreds, but within Altima expectation, he immediately moves aside from the reach of the Demonic Beast before swinging his spear directly and immobilizes one of its claw, while Victor and Vector combined their attack on both of the beast's rear limbs.
Being attacked from 3 directions, the beast quickly ran out of its patience, and came with a howling attack, trying to intimidate the others before it looks for a target to charge forward. But with Altima's quick wit, he immediately had Victor and Vector pair to hide in the blind spot behind the beast's tail, thus allowing Altima to Launch a strong Spear raining attack to thoroughly disturb the Demonic Beast.
"5th Stance of Yuan Wu Spear of Castle Breaking."
Slowly descending from the top of the Demonic Beast, Altima raised his spear and attack towards the whole body and head of the beast, quickly destroying the battle power possess by the beast. In the end, the beast finally defeated and thoroughly dismembered and the Skull is opened into two, revealing a Piece of Dark Golden Bead. Obtaining the first piece of Dark golden Bead, Altima places this bead onto the 43rd slot hole arranged around the podium.
Repeating the same procedures, Altima quickly had the remaining 55 doors opened and defeated the beast accordingly until he is left with the remaining 8 Upper Doors. Following the same procedure and diagram according to the mural, Altima finally release the very first strong Demonic Beast, almost double the strength compared to all the Demonic Beast Altima fight previously.
Thunderous Leopard "Shailar" - Lightning Canine Beast
Traits: Incomparable Speed, Agile and Durable from weapon and traps, Evolved Beast, Extremely Smart and Sneaky.
Threat Level: Stage 3 Master Practitioner of Zen Tier
"It has been so long past since I last feast on a human. Despicable humans, I will return to freedom once again after I kill you!", Shailar charges like a lightning bolt and appearing in front of Altima instantly.
Swinging the claw with a strength that could uproot a tree, Shailar had Altima pressured and tossed aside before it continues with the next attack, but within Altima's calculation, A wave of Zhen Wu Mountain Destruction Palm take its initiative strike, landing a triple hit on Shailar's Abdomen before it could react. With the landing of 3 hit, Shailar is taken to the ground, growling from the extreme pain before it stands up once again on all four, and quickly increase its distance with Altima.
Unexpected by Shailar, During the moment Altima launches his wave of attack, Victor and Vector are summoned and positioned nicely behind Shailar's blind spot, where in the next moment, Victor and Vector charge out with their full strength and give Shailar an attack it will never forget. But unfortunately, A Warrior Practitioner is still a wide gap of distance to reach its strength to easily kill a Master Practitioner.
Due to the lack of damage within Altima's Attack, Shailar once again manages to gain its momentum and move along the uneven terrain to escape and looking for a perfect opportunity to counter Altima's 3 person team. But as Shailar slowly losing its patience, it quickly exposes some rashness of the fiery temper, and charge head on towards Vector, who is the weakest among the three.
But!
Without noticing the fourth opponent hiding, Silvia the Silver Six-Tailed Fox manage to catch Shailar undefended. A rain of steel needle-like fur, piercing through all the defensive ability Shailar have and blinded the right eye before it reaches Vector's spot. Taking in this advantageous situation created by the team, Altima decided to end this battle in a hurry, where a Little Moon of Yin and Little Sun of Yang is formed on both sides of Altima's Palm, and thoroughly Freeze and Burn Shailar's body into an unaccountable carcass.
With the battle is over, Shailar's body soon disintegrate into ashes, leaving only a Huge Essence Stone as well as a Piece of bigger and more radiant Dark Golden Bead. Controlling his urge to continue with the opening of next door, Altima decided to further his cultivation for now, as he believes that, the next 7 remaining doors are the most challenging and deadly trial he would ever face before he could enter deeper within this Spatial Realm.
