Chapter 6 I have become the livestock among livestock

Soul Orbs, in principle, all beings of the primordial era have a chance to condense after death, containing the life imprint of their entire existence. Upon consumption, there is a chance to acquire the unique abilities, racial traits, and even the memories of the deceased being.

Even though the Araki Wolf, despite its small stature in the Aoki battle form, is covered in scales, it remains a vulnerable target. The genital area not only lacks any defensive capability but is also doubly weak due to the density of internal organs and the tenderness of the skin. After humanity discovered this fact, various quick courses on how to exploit this weakness proliferated like mushrooms after rain. Although the Araki Wolf suffered devastating blows as a result, humanity itself was also significantly affected. During that period, any man instinctively walked with his legs crossed.

Struggling to stand up, Mo Huang walked step by step towards these points of light, opened his arms, and drew in energy with a deep breath, as the starry points of light entered his body like fledglings returning to their nest

The force of the companion's body strike did not inflict any harm on the three rugged and thick-skinned Araki wolves. Instead, witnessing the death of their companion ignited their ferocity, and they continued to charge towards Mo Huang with fierce cries.

As he traveled along the way, passing by numerous lairs of wild beasts, whenever Mo Huang passed by, these wild beasts would always lower their heads and lie flat on the ground, signifying their submission

Mo Huang slightly closed his eyes, while the auxiliary personality that never ceased its mental scanning transmitted images of everything around him to his brain. The flow of air and the swaying trajectories of branches and leaves were all reflected in Mo Huang's heart. Just as the wild wolf Araki lunged at him, his footsteps suddenly came to a halt

With feet spread apart and knees slightly bent, although he is stepping on the soft, cloud-like leaves of the ground, there is an inexplicable feeling that he is currently standing on solid ground, an unshakeable sensation

In Mo Huang's spiritual world, time seems to have slowed down, the movements of the four wild wolves attacking are decelerated and dissected, every contraction of the muscles, every point of force, cannot escape Mo Huang's detection

The scene before me is the spectacle of the spiritual energy of these four Araki wolves returning to the heavens and the earth after their demise. The points of starlight continue to drift and multiply, as if the vast starry sky has been brought right before my eyes, extraordinarily beautiful. Mo Huang marvels at this, for it is the final imprint left by these four Araki wolves in the world.

The magnificent light grew ever more intense, yet the corpse of the Araki Wolf gradually turned charred in the brilliance, as if it had been burned by fire. Then, cracks began to spread across it, and finally, when the light reached its zenith, the corpse shattered with a thunderous sound, transforming into a cloud of black ash that scattered in all directions. Left behind was only a transparent sphere, about the size of a palm. Mo Huang picked up the sphere with both hands, secretly admiring it; it was crystal clear, faintly glowing with white light, and had a soft, almost water-like texture. Within the sphere, a scene could be faintly seen of an Araki Wolf running like the wind.

Take the soul orb in Mo Huang's hand as an example. After certain pioneers consume it, it decomposes into four combat techniques: "Qingmu Battle Body," "Piercing Divine Beak," "Wolf Strike Step," and "Natural Sensing." Ordinary individuals can gradually cultivate these techniques, eventually achieving a power far superior to the original version. Thus, the function of the soul orb, when it comes to cultivating combat techniques, is reduced to merely providing a shortcut to success. This has always been favored by certain young masters who are reluctant to engage in rigorous training, leading to a continuous rise in its price due to repeated endorsements.

The horse stance establishes a grounded position; once the posture is set, it immediately conveys an unshakeable feeling akin to a golden bell striking the ground. One hand is held upright in front of the chest, while the other is placed behind the back, with a slight bend at the waist. The upper body appears relaxed and limp, as if in a state of extreme relaxation

A glimmer of cold light flashed in his eyes, just as the four Araki wolves were about to pounce. Mo Huang reached out with one hand, creating a flurry of afterimages in the air, and then seized the forepaw of the smallest Araki wolf.

There were also certain wild beasts that raised their heads and let out defiant roars, but when Mo Huang's gaze, filled with murderous intent, fixed upon them, they gradually showed signs of submission

The corner of his mouth revealed a disdainful smile as he continued to maintain the previous posture. When three Araki wolves pounced, he followed the same pattern, seizing one to use as a club to strike the other two. Then, with a powerful flick, he continued with a kick to the groin, once again finishing off another Araki wolf

Mo Huang had no mood to deal with so much and directly charged towards the two Araki wolves

In "Wang Zhan," Mo Huang, who engages in direct combat with the Beast King atop the tree, has already established his identity as a king on this desolate tree.

The intensity has now been strengthened to a level capable of killing wild beasts such as the Araki Wolf. Although much of the pressure has been alleviated with the support of the primordial spiritual energy, the reaction force still inflicted considerable internal injuries on Mo Huang

If placed on Earth at this point in time, these small monsters, which even machine guns might not be able to eliminate, would pose a significant threat to humanity. However, in the eyes of Mo Huang, who has been reborn, these Araki Wolves are hardly considered a match, even inferior to the thugs of the Qing Wolf Gang. Although if the latter were to truly engage in a fight, it is unlikely that even if all the thugs of the Qing Wolf Gang were to perish, they would be able to kill these four Araki Wolves.

Soul crystals, in addition to devouring to gain certain extraordinary abilities and racial traits, are also extremely valuable raw materials for refining treasures and concocting medicines. With such a multitude of uses and a high probability of occurrence, their value naturally remains high. As an orphan, Mo Huang has never had the fortune to encounter such high-end luxury goods

Indeed, it is high-end luxury goods... Three hundred years later, all the various innate abilities contained within the soul orbs once possessed by humanity have long been consumed by the pioneers. Subsequently, based on the human body, they have developed martial techniques that even ordinary people can cultivate. Some are exceedingly crude, inferior to the originals, while others are exceptionally refined, far surpassing the originals.

With Araki Wolf's intelligence, it is naturally impossible to perceive how much hidden danger is concealed in Mo Huang's current posture. Fearlessly, it leaps forward, its front claws suddenly extending, and its sharp beak tightly closed, striking like a blade.

Now is not the time to confront your opponent. After retreating, gather your clan to repeatedly harass and test them, and finally, when you are confident, strike decisively to annihilate them

Mo Huang casually pinched it, confirming that the soul pearl, which naturally solidifies after preservation as stated in the book, is extremely difficult to destroy with ordinary physical attacks. Satisfied, he received it into his embrace and slowly departed

On the way down from the tree, Mo Huang did not climb down from the trunk again; instead, he swaggered confidently, exuding his own aura, as he made his way along the intricately maze-like branches.

The four Araki wolves seemed to sense the strength contained within Mo Huang's frail body, growling repeatedly, sharpening their claws and baring their teeth, their fierce appearance betraying an indescribable hesitation

In later generations, there are numerous combat techniques. Apart from a portion that are adaptations of combat skills inherent to Earth’s own civilizations, such as the "Primal Taijiquan" and "Horse Stance" mastered by Mo Huang, all other combat techniques originally stem from this object in hand

Mo Huang's gaze sharpened; in just a moment, the nearby black bear, with its tail between its legs, had almost dashed to the main trunk, where an uncovered opening lay. How could Mo Huang allow this strongest Araki wolf to escape so easily? A glint of cold light flashed in his eyes as his mental energy coalesced, transforming into formless yet tangible mental tendrils that suddenly burst forth and charged forward.

In the primordial world, the spiritual energy is boundless. All living beings, whether instinctively or consciously, absorb this spiritual energy to enhance themselves. However, everything has a beginning and an end. At the moment of death, the spiritual energy within the body will overflow and return to the heavens and the earth

The mental tendrils swept across, and the plump Araki wolf suddenly fell to the ground, its body convulsing a few times before becoming still. At this moment, it was only a few meters away from the escape hole.

Mo Huang was momentarily taken aback, and then as if recalling something, his mouth gaped wide open, saliva nearly dripping out, displaying an insatiable look of greed.

Finally, Mo Huang glanced at the lifeless body of the Araki wolf, seemingly filled with a mix of pity and indifference, and then prepared to turn away from the tree. At that moment, one of the Araki wolf's corpses suddenly emitted a burst of radiant light, shining with an extraordinary sanctity.

The conventional method involves seizing the wolf's paw and giving it a shake and a flick, followed by a swift kick to the groin, leaving this wild wolf to lie helplessly on the ground, awaiting its demise

After unleashing his ultimate move, Mo Huang also felt unwell, letting out a muffled groan as if struck hard. Two winding streaks of blood flowed from his nose, his complexion pale, and it seemed as though his strength had been completely drained as he collapsed to the ground.

The hand gripping the wolf's claw was extremely gentle, as if holding the hand of a delicate lover, but it was only for that moment; in the next instant, Mo Huang suddenly exerted force, converting the momentum of the wild wolf's lunge into a smooth rotation.

Mo Huang smiled lightly, knowing that if the standoff continued for a while longer, these few Araki wolves would likely tuck their tails and flee. If it were other wild beasts, Mo Huang would not mind, but the Araki wolves were different. One of the reasons they were named wolves by humans is that Araki wolves possess a very persistent sense of revenge.

The Soul Pearl... it is actually the Soul Pearl...

When humanity developed the Araki Realm in later generations, they suffered considerable losses due to such issues, leading to textbooks explicitly stating that when encountering Araki Wolves, one must eliminate them completely, or else there will be endless repercussions

The "Death Bird" technique, although merely a manifestation of mental power, imposes high physical demands. If one does not meet these requirements, it may result in self-harm before harming others. Mo Huang once employed this technique at the Qing Wolf Gang's base, and although it only caused temporary dizziness, the backlash left him feeling nauseous for quite some time. However, with the impending battle, he forced himself to suppress it; otherwise, he would have likely vomited uncontrollably.

With three loud bangs, three Araki wolves were struck away like baseballs by the bodies of their companions. Mo Huang swung the wolves in a complete circle and then flicked his wrist, sending the smallest Araki wolf slightly airborne in front of him. With a shake of its legs, it resembled a venomous dragon emerging from its lair, and a large foot kicked at the lower body of that Araki wolf.

The "Preservation Technique," a magic used in later generations to preserve dishes, was originally developed to preserve soul orbs

In later generations, even if countless scientists researched day and night, they could not determine the necessary factors for the formation of soul orbs; everything appeared to be random. Even when the spirit planter, who cultivates primordial plants, cuts them down, there is a possibility of harvesting soul orbs formed from the condensation of the plants. For instance, the strongest of the Araki wolves did not produce a soul orb, while one that remained neither strong nor weak did.

In the primordial world, there are countless powerful predators, and species like the Araki wolf are considered weak. To successfully continue their lineage, it is an essential talent to be adept at bullying the weak and fearing the strong. It is extremely common to flee when the situation is unfavorable in the primordial wilderness

The rapid healing from within, even accelerating the evolution of the body to some extent, left Shuang Mo Huang at a loss for words.

Mo Huang gazed at this enchanting yet bizarre scene, feeling somewhat dazed. Such images were not uncommon to see on television and the internet before his rebirth, but witnessing it in reality was a first for him

The Mockingbird

Proceeding slowly, all beasts submit... This is the majesty of the king

At that moment, the strongest Araki wolf, which was about the size of a black bear, suddenly tucked its tail and turned to flee, while another one let out a frenzied roar and pounced towards Mo Huang

The more powerful the creature, the more splendid the return of its spiritual energy after death. Even before his rebirth, Mo Huang had heard a rumor that when a super strong being at the level of an emperor in the human realm dies, the points of spiritual energy condense into a ten-mile light column, standing in the world for three days without dissipating, creating a magnificent spectacle. However, this is merely a rumor.

But everything is worth it

Crouching low, growling in a deep voice, the beast's eyes were replaced by a frantic vigilance.

Mo Huang is in a very good mood, and although he cannot make use of it at the moment, a good beginning always brings joy to people

These luminous points are products formed by the mixture of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the inherent energy of the Araki wolf, serving as a great tonic beneficial to any living being, more effective than any miraculous elixir. It is precisely because of the existence of this that slaughter is ubiquitous in the primordial world, revealing a glimpse of the brutality of the primordial era.

Mo Huang's aggressive charge left Araki no choice but to let out a fierce roar before pouncing forward to attack

Proceeding slowly is intended to review one's subjects, to proclaim one's identity as a king, and to provide an opportunity for those rebellious beasts to challenge, which is also a necessary step in the "King's Battle"

At this thought, Mo Huang's killing intent surged forth as he charged forward.

The remaining two Araki wolves became somewhat flustered. Although the two that had died were the weakest among them, such a swift and decisive hunt still instilled great fear in them

Mo Huang's lips moved, and a low or high incantation was uttered from his mouth. With a flick of his hand, a beam of light appeared on the soul orb, causing the originally water-like sphere to become solid.

Mo Huang is also a man, and his fondness for this move is not high. However, despite his disdain, practical techniques must be employed when necessary

On the corpses of the four Araki wolves, star-like glimmers began to gradually rise and float, shining brightly even under the illumination of the three suns of the Araki realm

When the wolves enter the forest, the consequence is that Mo Huang will no longer be able to live in peace, and it will be extremely dangerous. Among the many examples from later generations, the life of a human-level innate master at level seventy serves as the most bloody illustration.

The Araki wolf, kicked several meters away, immediately collapsed to the ground, its body trembling slightly, and its sharp, screeching howls became extremely weak, with blood continuously flowing from its groin, clearly on the verge of death

The lethal move in "The Silent Ridge" mercilessly proclaims the death of this Araki wolf, akin to the ominous black bird described in mythological legends

The original combat techniques of humanity originated from this

Mo Huang's eyes were almost popping out, making a clicking sound. Although he had never seen this thing in person, it was certainly well-known to him.

Inferior savage beasts, no matter how strong, are ultimately just more ferocious wild animals. Although their innate abilities vary, their attack patterns are monotonous. For instance, savage beasts like the rough-skinned wolf have only three methods of attack: a pounce, a peck, and then a fierce bite. If one can identify their weaknesses, they are merely an easy target.

The mental energy rippled like waves, swirling around the four wild wolves, with the pores of the body opening up, probing like the most sensitive radar.
