Chu Tian felt something attack him.
His body flickered, preparing to evade.
But the next moment, he found it impossible to dodge.
The thing attacking him was as large as a mountain.
He could only choose to confront it directly.
Boom...
Chu Tian threw a punch.
This punch was nothing special, not revealing any aura.
Yet, after the collision between them, it let out a world-shattering roar.
Chu Tian's body swayed slightly, drifting back one position.
"Roar..."
The massive monster he collided with let out a howl, its entire body sent flying backward.
"This is... Zhulong?"
In that instant, he finally saw clearly what the creature was.
Zhulong, no doubt about it.
Chu Tian was not seeing this creature for the first time; Ye Ling's pet was exactly this.
After his rebirth, the first monster he encountered in the martial world was this very thing, a memory that remained vivid.
However, the Zhulong before him was much, much larger than Ye Ling's.
What had just attacked him was its serpent head.
There was still a white imprint on the tip of its nose, a mark left by Chu Tian's punch.
At this moment, this world was not completely dark. The Zhulong's eyes were only slightly narrowed, not fully shut.
Perhaps because of this, it wasn't pitch black or dazzlingly bright. Da Feng Novel Network
"So it's you, you beast, causing trouble!"
Seeing this, Chu Tian was puzzled as to why there was a Zhulong in this world within the spatial rift.
This creature was a mythical divine beast, not something common.
Its presence here explained why it was so dark before.
Opening its eyes brought day, closing them brought night; this was its innate divine ability.
Clearly, it had targeted him the moment he entered, causing him to fall into darkness.
"Hoo..."
The Zhulong's body was sent back by Chu Tian's blow. It roared and forcefully exhaled.
Chu Tian's eyes narrowed. People knew Zhulong represented day when open and night when closed, but few knew it could also exhale summer and inhale winter.
The exhale here as summer didn't mean warmth like spring.
Legend had it that Zhulong's body was connected to the underworld; its exhaled breath was the scorching flames of the fiery hell.
"Beast, you're courting death!"
After being attacked by this creature multiple times, Chu Tian became enraged.
His mood had not been good even before this, after learning about his situation.
After some venting through killing, he had felt a bit better.
But he was still unhappy. This was likely the downside of knowing future events.
Now, encountering this beast's harassment, Chu Tian was naturally filled with fury.
Without evading, he charged directly into the sky-filling flames.
"Die!"
Chu Tian's body seemed like a tiny ant before the Zhulong.
In the blink of an eye, he passed through the lava-like flame coverage without the slightest injury, landing directly on the Zhulong's head.
With his ant-like proportion, he swung his fist and punched the Zhulong's half-closed single eye.
Boom...
The Zhulong's head snapped backward.
Chu Tian was also taken aback; he had used at least thirty percent of his strength in that punch.
This guy was truly tough; it barely sustained any damage.
Boom boom boom...
Since that was the case, Chu Tian increased his strength by ten percent with each punch, causing the Zhulong to constantly shake its head, trying to fling Chu Tian off.
Chu Tian's feet seemed rooted; no matter how it shook, he stood as if on solid ground, his body unmoving.
After more than ten consecutive punches, fine cracks finally appeared on the Zhulong's eyelid.
"Roar... Roar..."
The creature began to cry out incessantly. At this moment, it didn't dare to use its innate divine abilities.
Chu Tian was attacking its eyelid; if it opened its eye, its pupil would be attacked.
No creature's eyeball could have higher defense than its eyelid; this was a law.
In fact, the more Chu Tian fought, the more astonished he became; this creature's defense was too high.
With his divine-tier cultivation, each punch and kick could destroy the Blue Star.
Yet, this Zhulong, after enduring Chu Tian's barrage of consecutive punches, was still unharmed, with only slight cracks appearing on its eyelid.
Although he hadn't condensed his skill power, these were just ordinary punches and kicks.
"Hmph, I'm done playing with you!"
"Bear Form... Activate!"
"Heavy Strike!"
"Rending Claw!"
"Condense...!"
Roar...
Behind Chu Tian, a giant bear appeared, raising its paws. The left paw emanated a white light, instantly covering its thick palm – that was the skill power of Heavy Strike.
The right paw forcefully extended three finger-like blades, gleaming with sharp light.
As Chu Tian brought his hands together, the giant bear's shadow's two palms also touched.
The power of the two skills intertwined. Chu Tian clasped his hands into fists, adopting a "Sky Cannon" pose, and smashed it towards the Zhulong's single eye.
The Zhulong seemed to know the power of this move; its body thrashed with greater intensity.
Furthermore, Chu Tian clearly felt a sense of fear emanating from it.
But he showed no mercy; he wanted to finish it quickly and find a way out.
However, at this very moment.
Chu Tian suddenly felt a strong gust of wind coming from behind his head. This gust carried a sharp aura.
From a considerable distance, it made Chu Tian's skin prickle.
"There's another monster?"
At the same time, a not-so-large dark shadow appeared in his divine sense.
The shadow had emerald green eyes.
Its two front claws gleamed.
It was those front claws that were clawing towards the back of Chu Tian's neck.
That sharp aura was like a divine weapon.
His attack, originally aimed downwards towards the Zhulong's eyelid, was abruptly halted as he twisted his body.
He swung backwards.
And the attacker behind Chu Tian.
Its body also stopped abruptly in mid-air.
It dodged with extreme speed.
The speed of this creature was indeed not slow.
Chu Tian's strike landed on empty air.
It hit the void, emitting a rumbling sound.
At this moment, he also saw what was attacking him.
That creature had pointed ears, with fine fur on the tips, making it look adorable.
Its emerald green eyes conveyed immense ferocity.
It looked like a vigilant leopard, but Chu Tian saw clearly that its body was grey-black with stripes.
This was not a leopard at all; it was clearly a large cat...
A... Civet cat!
"A Zhulong, and a civet cat?"
Chu Tian's expression changed.
This combination, was it that coincidental? A sense of familiarity suddenly welled up in Chu Tian's heart.
He recalled that the little civet cat they rescued from Civet Village was being raised by Zhao Lei.
"Could it be..." Chu Tian's eyes brightened.
*Hiss...*
That civet cat didn't give him time to ponder and pounced at Chu Tian again.
With the strange thought in his mind, Chu Tian naturally couldn't deliver a fatal blow, merely lightly parrying it away.
