"Why are you out here? Don't you Tyrannical Blue Apes normally stay in the inner region and the core region?" Davis smiled as he asked but felt confused.

If these Tyrannical Blue Apes occupied the entire region, wouldn't he have to proceed with extreme caution all the time?

In this case, it could be said he escaped death due to this magical beast just growing out of its infancy.

The little boy who had taken a few steps back, stared at Davis with a suspicious gaze, thinking why this human in front of him suddenly smiled like an idiot.

Once he heard the question, he dropped what he was thinking and answered, "I'm 10 already! My elders said that I should go hunt alone in the outer region, so here I am, trying to find a target to hunt."

"Unfortunately, all I saw was you human..." The little boy shook his head sadly.

But he suddenly started to dance like an ape, "What's your name human? My name is..."

"Zolta..." Davis interrupted.

The little boy was stunned!

Like a thrilled child, the little boy instantly asked, "How did you know my name!?"

Davis smiled teasingly, "A secret..."

Of course, he used Death God Eyes and inspected its lifespan. At that time, he also saw its name which made him surprised for an instant.

The little boy was disappointed but he found this human as something very interesting.

So, after that, the little boy tried asking various questions, but Davis used his Dark Concealing Shroud Art to directly disappear from its view.

The little boy was instantly surprised by Davis's disappearance and even clapped his hands, but after a few minutes, he discovered that the human had disappeared.

Looking sad for a few seconds, he transformed back to its magical beast form and left the area as it headed over to the outer region to continue its hunt.

Davis didn't know all that because he left right after using Dark Concealing Shroud Art.

He decided that this method would be more useful to hunt beasts, rather than to meet them head-on and fall into traps as he encountered with the giant snake.

...

Time passed.

A few days eventually passed and Davis hunted many beasts in the terrain between the inner and outer regions.

Most of them were High-Level Spirit Beast Stage Magical Beasts, and only a few were Peak-Level Spirit Beast Stage Magical Beasts like the giant snake.

Most of the magical beasts were cunning and sharp, so he had a hard time killing magical beasts that survived the stealth attack.

He killed all of them somehow but he was kind of unfortunate because he didn't encounter a single Grand Beast Stage Magical Beast this whole week.

All Davis acquired were the cores, carcasses and the soul essences of the magical beasts that were at or below Peak-Level Spirit Beast Stage.

When he counted the amount of Peak-Level Spirit Beast Stage Soul Essences he had, it left him quite sad.

He had about 5 Peak-Level Spirit Beast Stage Souls which were useful to increase his soul force somewhat, and 17 High-Level Spirit Beast Stage Soul Essences which were quite useless to him.

This low efficiency was caused by him not being able to use Soul Sense as he was afraid that he might inadvertently alert a Sixth Stage Beast which could result in his death....

Otherwise, with his Soul Sense extending into the horizons, he would be able to locate the Magical Beasts he wanted to target with ease.

The whole Tyrannical Blue Ape Mountain Range spanned for about 200,000 kilometers and was divided into the outer region, inner region, and core region in the surface.

Finding a suitable target was no easy task as there were numerous magical beasts of different stages existing in this place.

Davis assessed his Soul Forging Cultivation and assumed that if he had just broken through the Peak-Level Adult Soul Stage, which he already did, he would require 3 Low-Level Elder Soul Stage Soul Essences to breakthrough to the Elder Soul Stage!

Low-Level Elder Soul Stage Souls are comparable to Low-Level Grand Beast Stage Souls.

This meant that if he were to collect only Peak-Level Spirit Beast Stage Souls, he would require about 60 of them to break through the next level but that is only in theory and not practical at all.

'I can't keep on hunting like this... This method is too slow. There's not a single Grand Beast Stage Magical Beast around this area, at least not visible in my sight. I have to head over to the inner region...'

Davis thought as he decided to head over the inner region where there would be Fifth and even the Sixth Stage Magical Beasts.

He had a determined expression on his face and did not doubt that the consequences would be dire if he slipped up.

With careful steps, he crossed the border of the inner region and entered it.

Stopping for a moment, he checked his surroundings as he released his Soul Sense for a few hundred meters.

As his soul sense extended slowly, he still wasn't able to find any Low-Level Grand Beast Stage Magical Beasts.

The terrain was rocky but it was still covered by greenery and weeds, with towering trees that were more than 50 meters tall, sparsely spread over the area.

Narrowing his eyes, he extended his Soul Sense once more into the wilderness with a taut expression on his face.

He was incredibly careful and controlled his soul sense to the point of sweating from nervousness.

After all, he didn't want to be suddenly traced back by a Sixth Stage Magical Beast!

While his soul sense extended for about more than 4 kilometers, he froze!

But a smile gradually crept up his face when he realized that the magical beast he sensed didn't notice his soul sense and trace him back.

The magical beast he sensed looked like a tiger with sharp claws and two tails. Its eyes were pristine and glowed faintly, even when bathed in the daylight.

Observing its unbridled magical beast aura, he could see that it is a Low-Level Grand Beast Stage Magical Beast! A Fifth Stage Magical Beast!

Davis recognized this magical beast and was able to recall its species name; Glowing Light Tiger.

'A beast that is of light type, huh...' He thought as he silently approached it. Within minutes, he closed on in and was only a few hundred meters away from it.

Lying on a thick branch of a tall tree, it lazily bathed in the sunlight as it slept.

Davis couldn't figure out whether if it was sleeping or not, nor was he interested in figuring out.

He smiled and stretched out his hand, 'Its time for your turn, Fallen Heaven...'

'Hehe...' An eerie laugh emerged from within.

Black aura oozed out of Davis's hand and materialized into a decrepit black book.

Davis's eyes turned red as he looked at the Glowing Light Tiger which had a body that was 6 meters tall and 12 meters long while it had light yellow striped skin.
