Chapter 489 - 424: Chaos Bloodline, Taihu Python

The giant wolf was not comparable to native creatures like Xiong Batian. To be precise, the giant wolf didn’t originally live here. It started out in the outer regions, but one day, the Demons from the outside emerged and seized the lands it relied on for survival.

As a result, the giant wolf was forced to come here. It then took advantage of the original Dominator Level creature’s death to claim its own territory.

In fact, many of the creatures in this area had arrived in the same way; they were not natives who had been here from the beginning.

The so-called natives generally referred to creatures born under the rule of a Dominator. There were many such creatures, because a Dominator Level being’s domain was vast, and there was no shortage of creatures like Xiong Batian who had undergone Spiritual Awakening.

So, in the giant wolf’s eyes, Xiong Batian was just a native. It, however, was different. It was a creature that had already undergone Opening Spirit Veins, and its personal strength was formidable. Even in this region that currently lacked a Dominator, it had a good chance of becoming one itself, as the few creatures that could rival it were too few to be a threat.

When Jiang Qiu asked who its most feared enemy was, there could only be one answer—an enemy that could be called the foe of most creatures in the Primitive Ancient Forest: the Demons from the outside!

"My Lord, what I fear most are the Demons from the outside. Their power is beyond imagination..."

The giant wolf truthfully told him everything it knew, not daring to hide a single thing. Under Jiang Qiu’s oppressive aura, it felt its own presence was like a lone leaf on raging waters, liable to be torn to shreds in an instant!

Even though it was already a powerhouse strong enough to contend for the position of Dominator, it had no thought of resisting Jiang Qiu. ’This must be what it feels like for an infant to face a giant.’

But Jiang Qiu just shook his head. "I already know about the Demons. You should tell me something I don’t know. For example, what creatures in this Primitive Ancient Forest are stronger than you, and where are they located?"

Jiang Qiu had already learned of the Demons’ existence from Xiong Batian, so he had no desire to waste any more effort on the topic. Besides, their knowledge of the Demons was likely six of one and half a dozen of the other.

Xiong Batian had said the Demons were the enemies of the Primitive Ancient Forest. All creatures in the outer regions were terrified, barely having time to flee. Even Dominator Level beings were nothing but prey. ’Faced with such a powerful existence, this giant wolf has only just stepped into the Realm of Opening Spirit Veins. What the hell could it possibly know?’

In Jiang Qiu’s view, the giant wolf was just one member of a vast army of refugees. Therefore, he wasn’t interested in the Demons it spoke of; he was more hopeful of learning about the powerhouses within the Primitive Ancient Forest.

His main priority, while still inside the Primitive Ancient Forest, was to learn more about his immediate surroundings. Once he had a better understanding of things here, he could then venture out to find the Demons.

There was another important point: both he and Xiong Batian needed to undergo Opening Spirit Veins. This meant they lacked the Essence Blood of a powerful Demon Race member, so they had to hunt some powerful members of the Demon Race.

The giant wolf was indeed decent. According to Xiong Batian, it was a contender for the title of Dominator, one of the strongest creatures to arrive after the previous one’s death. But that was only from Xiong Batian’s perspective.

As for Jiang Qiu, he wouldn’t spare a second glance for an ant like the giant wolf. He hoped to find a truly formidable member of the Demon Race. If possible, he even wanted to find a source of powerful Essence Blood that could match his own Dragon Race bloodline.

For now, however, that seemed a long way off. He had just been born in a small, remote corner of a vast forest, and without the support of the Half-Step Unity Realm, it was extremely difficult to find what he was looking for.

’I’ll just have to take it one step at a time.’ Jiang Qiu decided to first pry information about a higher-level creature from the giant wolf—at the very least, one at the Dominator Level.

"My Lord... are you looking for more powerful creatures?" The giant wolf quickly understood Jiang Qiu’s meaning. It was much smarter than Xiong Batian; otherwise, it wouldn’t have found its own method for Opening Spirit Veins and become one of the strongest beings in this area.

But it pondered for a long while, unable to fathom Jiang Qiu’s true intentions. The powerhouses it knew of, it had never actually seen; they were all just rumors.

Take a local Dominator, for example. Such beings only moved within their own territories, and even so, not all native creatures had ever seen their Dominator.

A Dominator’s territory was simply too vast for it to personally patrol every corner. Thus, most information about a local Dominator was just rumor. The giant wolf itself had only seen the Dominator of its original territory once and had never laid eyes on another.

’Under these circumstances, should I tell him everything I know? What if what I know is actually wrong?’

’Besides, Jiang Qiu is clearly a being on a completely different level from me. He’s likely a legendary existence, incredibly powerful! That bloodline pressure... it could match the legends from the depths of the Primitive Ancient Forest!’

Yes, a legend.

’I’ve never seen a form like Jiang Qiu’s before. Such a small, young cub, yet he possesses an oppressive aura that even I fear. In that case, he can only be a legendary existence.’
