Chapter 378: Crafting Artifacts Across the World, Eradicating the Beast Race from Both Realms
The Transformation Stage Moon Fox began a frantic search for records about the human madman who had attacked their clan.
He soon discovered a terrifying fact: the accounts of the madman entering the demon realm matched his dreams perfectly.
"Am I from the human race or the beast race?" the Transformation Stage Moon Fox said as he looked at his reflection by the lake.
In the distance, a group of Moon Fox Clan members awaited his return to carry out their mission.
At that moment, a beam of light flew in from afar, and a Moon Fox member held an eight-year-old boy in front of them.
"Chief, look what I’ve caught!" the Moon Fox member laughed, his expression as if he had just hunted down a plump rabbit.
Seeing the little boy, the Transformation Stage Moon Fox’s heart sank, and in that instant, he felt a deep hatred for his identity as a beast.
"Chief, this human kid’s heart is yours to enjoy," the Moon Fox member said obsequiously.
Above this scene, Xu Fan quietly controlled the puppet, watching intently.
"This should be enough," Xu Fan said.
Below, the Transformation Stage Moon Fox walked step by step toward the boy.
His tail, white as sacred snow, gently brushed against the terrified child’s cheek, clearing the dirt from his face.
"Child, why aren’t you inside the Steel Wall?" the Transformation Stage Moon Fox asked softly, his expression neutral.
"Mother… told… me… to wait… for her… in the village," the little boy stammered.
The nearby Moon Fox members all watched the boy, their eyes filled with excitement and bloodlust.
"Do you miss your mother?" the Transformation Stage Moon Fox continued.
"Yes~"
At that moment, a memory of the human madman suddenly flashed in the Transformation Stage Moon Fox’s mind.
The madman’s mother spat out large amounts of blood, desperately shouting at her son, "Run!! Don’t look back!"
The beast race had already breached the last line of defense in the fairy city, and the madman’s mother used the last of her spiritual energy to activate a secret technique, buying her son a moment of time.
A tear fell from the Transformation Stage Moon Fox’s eye.
"I’ll take you to see your mother, okay?"
A Spiritual Sword for humans appeared in his hand, a trophy from when he had slain a human Sword Immortal.
At the moment he gripped the Spiritual Sword, his eyes turned blood red, and a feeling of madness seeped from the Transformation Stage Moon Fox.
"Eradicate the demons, the Three Absolute Swords."
In an instant, countless blood-red sword lights slashed toward the surrounding Moon Fox members, a single Sword Shadow swiftly weaving through the beast race.
Before the demons could react, they all turned to mere chunks of flesh.
Around him and the little boy, the ground transformed into a sea of blood.
Up in the sky, Xu Fan watched this scene, stroking his chin and smiling as he said, "He’s quite talented."
"It was worth creating divine powers; I transmitted the teachings in my dreams."
"Child, I’ll take you home." The Transformation Stage Moon Fox quietly carried the little boy to a spot one hundred miles away from the Steel Wall.
"Let’s go; just keep moving forward, and you’ll find your mother," said the Transformation Stage Moon Fox as he gently pushed the little boy’s back, sending a wave of pure spiritual energy into him, enough to support him on a journey of one hundred miles.
He then flew toward the direction of the Moon Fox Clan’s holy city.
Just as the Transformation Stage Moon Fox was nearing the holy city, he heard a voice.
"Taoist friend, please hold on~"
At the Hidden Spirit Sect, Xu Fan slowly opened his eyes, reflecting on the behavior of the Moon Fox Clan.
"Dirty, it’s just too dirty. If that Transformation Stage Moon Fox comes to its senses in the future, will it shamefully commit suicide?" Xu Fan said.
"The seed has been planted; now it just needs to bloom and bear fruit."
Three months later.
Outside Hidden Spirit Island, twelve spirit turtles of various colors swam in circles around the island, bored.
It turned out that Lei Wenxi had noticed that the twelve spirit turtles had been inactive for years, coupled with their good diet, causing them to grow excessively fat.
To prevent them from overeating the spirit feeding pills, they had to swim around Hidden Spirit Island once a day to earn their meals.
Xu Fan appeared beside Lei Wenxi.
"Your spirit feeding pills are a bit too much," he remarked.
"Isn’t it because I have new research results?" Xu Fan smiled as he looked at the turtles, now round as balls.
"Hello, Grand Elder," Lei Wenxi greeted first.
"The newly developed spirit feeding pills can better purify some secondary bloodlines besides the main bloodline, and they can greatly strengthen the bodies of the spirit beasts."
"The downside is they make them gain weight; if they don’t move, they’ll get even fatter," Lei Wenxi said helplessly, as this side effect seemed impossible to eliminate.
"Let these spirit turtles sleep. After a year or two, they’ll be fine," Xu Fan said with a smile, knowing that even if those turtles swam a hundred laps around Hidden Spirit Island, they wouldn’t lose weight.
"Understood," Lei Wenxi replied, considering whether to look for a new batch of spirit beasts to experiment with.
At that moment, Xu Fan glanced toward the Steel Wall.
"They should be back soon."
A streak of escape light flashed by, and Li Xingci appeared next to Xu Fan.
"Master, the Moon Fox Clan gave me the items," Li Xingci said, taking out a palace artifact unique to the beast race, which contained hundreds of artifact masters and formation masters from the Moon Fox Clan.
Xu Fan took the palace artifact and nodded in satisfaction; indeed, hatred was the greatest driving force.
At that moment, Li Xingci looked at Xu Fan, wanting to say something but hesitating.
"Oh, has becoming a father made you shy?" Xu Fan laughed.
"I’m just curious about that Transformation Stage Moon Fox; what method did you use to make it so devoted to digging into its clan’s foundation?" Li Xingci asked curiously.
He had encountered that Transformation Stage beast and felt it was just a human wrapped in a Moon Fox skin. The longing gaze for the human race left a deep impression on him.
"Do you know what drives intelligent beings the most?" Xu Fan asked.
"Desire," Li Xingci answered.
"Correct, but not entirely."
"To maximize the power of an intelligent being, only grudges and hatred will suffice."
"I’ve given him both, and now if given the chance, he wouldn’t hesitate to destroy the demon race."
Xu Fan then recounted the situation with the Transformation Stage beast to Li Xingci.
"Truly a perfect method," Li Xingci said, his eyes shining. Previously, he had simply forced illusions upon them, not realizing his master had such profound techniques.
"Do you understand now?" Xu Fan asked.
"Understood."
"Good, you’ll take on this task," Xu Fan said with a smile, handing the beast race palace artifact to Li Xingci, knowing that to gain valuable knowledge, one must pay a price.
"Alright," Li Xingci said, his eyes gleaming with the excitement of discovery.
Not long after, the underground space of the Hidden Spirit Sect became filled with a group of excitable Moon Fox Clan artifact masters, united by a common belief.
"Crafting artifacts across the world, eradicating the beast race from both realms."
