Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

Glancing back at the small valley where he had resided for over a month, Wang Chen set forth on an unknown journey without a second thought.

The familiar bounds of Anyang City were temporarily out of reach, and he had no idea where he could go next. He could only take one step at a time, always moving in the same direction, confident he would eventually traverse the expansive mountains.

Wang Chen chose to head east.

Instead of the disheveled arrival of his early days, Wang Chen had now perfectly mastered his new body and raised his Cultivation Level to the Warrior Realm.

His Physique had become stronger, his movements swifter, and his stamina had seen a significant increase.

As he traversed mountains and valleys, moving through dense forests, Wang Chen tread as if on flat ground, his speed much faster than before.

Along the way, he encountered various animals, such as spotted deer and wild boars.

Wang Chen let them all go without killing.

Until a deep roar caught his attention.

Following the sound, he quickly found a Tabby Tiger in the dense woods ahead, tearing at a young deer.

The poor fawn, freshly killed by the tiger, lay motionless on the ground, its neck still gushing blood.

The Tabby Tiger, with its acute hearing and without Wang Chen making any attempt to conceal his approach, noticed him immediately. It dropped the deer carcass and adopted a defensive posture.

Lowering its body, the fierce tiger fixed its terrifying eyes on the unexpected intruder, emitting a warning growl from its throat as its tail swished gently behind.

Having just captured its prey, it had no interest in hunting Wang Chen, merely wary he might try to seize the deer carcass.

Seeing Wang Chen ignore its warning and approach closer, the king of the forest felt a profound affront to its dignity.

"Rawr!"

It let out a deafening roar, its powerful hind legs propelling it towards Wang Chen like an arrow released from a bow.

Despite its significant size, the tiger's speed was not to be underestimated.

Moreover, the tiger's roar captivated one's soul, with an effect akin to a sonic attack, making the trees around quiver.

For any ordinary person, they would probably collapse on the spot, utterly lacking the ability to resist.

Unfortunately for this tiger, it faced Wang Chen!

Right as the Tabby Tiger lunged, swiping its massive paw towards him, Wang Chen swiftly stepped aside, narrowly dodging the lethal blow.

In the blink of an eye, he brushed past the tiger, his right hand suddenly slashing out.

A flash of bright blade light silently swept across the Tabby Tiger's neck, as fleeting as lightning!

The Tabby Tiger pounced into thin air.

Under the force of its powerful inertia, it surged forward, and a sudden spurt of bright red blood shot from its neck.

"Roar–"

Under the pain, the Tabby Tiger couldn't help uttering a short, agonized roar, before something seemed to block its throat, halting the sound abruptly.

Stumbling, the king of the forest nearly lost its balance and fell to the ground.

But more than pain, it felt fear.

The Tabby Tiger realized that Wang Chen was not some weak human; he was fully capable of inflicting fatal damage.

Animal instinct told it to flee!

However, the king of the forest's realization came a tad too late.

Just as it attempted to dash towards the dense woods ahead, Wang Chen had already caught up, grabbing the tiger's tail.

"Die!"

The moment he caught the tiger's tail, Wang Chen's muscles tensed, simultaneously activating the Apex Corpse Dog Wheel and the Obscure Tortoise Wheel between his brows, with the power of both Fiend Wheels instantly bolstering him.

After breaking through the second layer of the Mysterious Sun Haven Seven Fiend Wheel, he hadn't immediately left the small valley, instead continuing intense cultivation for five days.

Only after his realm was fully stabilized and he had become familiar with and mastered his new power, did he embark upon this explorative journey.

Although the Tabby Tiger was fierce, it was ultimately not a mutated beast, and caught off guard, it was lifted by Wang Chen and heavily smashed against a nearby towering tree.

Bang!

The heavy tiger, weighing five to six hundred catties, collided with the thick trunk, causing an immediate impact.

The huge tree crown suddenly shook, and countless leaves fluttered down.

But the loser was clearly the one made of flesh and blood—the king of the mountains had broken countless bones in the collision, and its internal organs were also severely damaged.

When Wang Chen released his grip and let it fall to the ground, it tumbled several times, spitting blood profusely, struggling to get up.

The next moment, a sharp dagger mercilessly stabbed into the root of the tiger's ear.

All the way to the hilt!

The Tabby Tiger suddenly shivered, the light in its tiger eyes quickly fading into nothingness.

Having succeeded in his surprise attack again, Wang Chen pulled out the dagger and quietly waited beside it for a moment.

Until the tiger on the ground began to cool down, no information flashed within his field of vision.

Without a doubt, potential value could not be gained through killing.

Of course, Wang Chen had not yet tried killing people.

But he was almost certain that potential value was to be consumed!

And before Wang Chen's eyes lay a pile of meat.

A pile of high-quality meat!

He couldn't help but swallow his saliva, ready to start processing.

Such a big tiger, weighing five to six hundred catties, wouldn't be processed in a short time, and besides the tiger meat, the tiger's skin, bones, tendons, claws, and heart were all valuable items, not to be wasted casually.

Wang Chen bent down close to the tiger's neck and neck area, first drinking his fill of tiger blood!

This tiger blood was still steaming hot, with a pungent fishy smell—definitely not a pleasant taste.

But after drinking it, his stomach felt warm and comfortable—it felt like drinking a medicinal tonic.

Tiger blood was, after all, a substantial tonic!

[Potential +1]

Sure enough, after only half the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Wang Chen received a prompt.

The tiger blood was quickly absorbed, and the speed of converting it to potential was fast.

Unfortunately, with no appropriate tools at hand, Wang Chen watched as a lot was wasted.

After that, he used a dagger to skin the tiger.

As this tiger had been dealt with swiftly, the main wounds were concentrated on the neck, so the skin was fairly intact.

Then, Wang Chen picked large leaves and spread them out on the ground, neatly slicing off chunks of tiger meat.

It wasn't possible to eat so much tiger meat in one sitting, so to prevent spoilage, it had to be smoked.

As for the tiger bones and tendons, they had to be carefully stripped away.

Wang Chen even gained a rather impressive-looking tiger penis!

Just as he was busy "dissecting," a few shakes in the nearby bushes revealed several figures.

Huh?

Wang Chen immediately stopped his work and grasped the dagger, observing these sudden arrivals.

There were seven people in total, all dressed as hunters, each holding weapons such as harpoon spears, bows and arrows, and iron forks.

When they saw Wang Chen, they too were taken aback!
