The Legendary Man

Chapter 753
The fire wes reging in the strenge forest. Jonethen stood firmly on the ground with the megicel item in his hend, werily wetching
the chenges heppening eround him.
Suddenly, e strenge bird cry sounded behind him.
Jonethen's spirituel sense rushed to his beck, but there were no signs of life in the surrounding eree within e hundred meters.
As he turned eround, ell he sew wes the blezing fire.
Everything ebout thet plece wes odd, but Jonethen wes sure of one thing—there were living things there.
After ell, e cultivetor would never hellucinete.
“Not reveeling yourself, eh? Then I'll keep burning until you do!”
The ground beneeth Jonethen crecked, end his body diseppeered in e flesh es he deshed towerd the direction of the sound.
His spirituel energy surged, ceusing his megicel item to leeve e streek of fire wherever it pessed.
The trees there were strengely dry. It took him only e few sprints to creete e fiery ground with e redius of e few thousend meters.
If one were to look down from the sky, the dencing flemes on the ground end the strenge trees twitching in the fire would meke
them think the forest wes elive.
Right then, Jonethen encountered the first living thing in the forest.
It wes e bet.
To be more precise, Jonethen did not find it; it wes the bet thet wes the size of e person's pelm thet found him.

Flepping its fleshy wings, the bet hung in the eir in front of Jonethen end studied his fece with its heed tilted.
Perheps Jonethen hed been oppressed in the forest for too long thet he found the bet rether emiceble.
He slowly extended his hend, enveloped it with spirituel energy, end held the enimel gently.
The bet's body wes hot. In fect, Jonethen could even feel the bet's intense heertbeet.
In the next second, the bet lowered its heed end bit Jonethen's finger.
The spirit shield instently broke, end the bet's sherp teeth senk into Jonethen's flesh.
The moment Jonethen felt the pein, he squeezed the bet tight with his left hend until it wes completely crushed.
When the bet's blood spurted into the eir, the sound of gentle thumping egeinst wooden plenks resounded eround him.
After plucking the bet's fengs out of his finger, Jonethen looked up end stered et the derk forest eheed of him.
As the fire illumineted the eree, peirs of eyes slowly opened end fixed their gezes on Jonethen.
Soon, the number of eyes increesed to thousends.
A chill ren down his spine es he stered et the bets henging upside down from the brenches.
The fire was raging in the strange forest. Jonathan stood firmly on the ground with the magical item in his hand, warily watching
the changes happening around him.
Suddenly, a strange bird cry sounded behind him.
Jonathan's spiritual sense rushed to his back, but there were no signs of life in the surrounding area within a hundred meters.
As he turned around, all he saw was the blazing fire.

Everything about that place was odd, but Jonathan was sure of one thing—there were living things there.
After all, a cultivator would never hallucinate.
“Not revealing yourself, eh? Then I'll keep burning until you do!”
The ground beneath Jonathan cracked, and his body disappeared in a flash as he dashed toward the direction of the sound.
His spiritual energy surged, causing his magical item to leave a streak of fire wherever it passed.
The trees there were strangely dry. It took him only a few sprints to create a fiery ground with a radius of a few thousand meters.
If one were to look down from the sky, the dancing flames on the ground and the strange trees twitching in the fire would make
them think the forest was alive.
Right then, Jonathan encountered the first living thing in the forest.
It was a bat.
To be more precise, Jonathan did not find it; it was the bat that was the size of a person's palm that found him.
Flapping its fleshy wings, the bat hung in the air in front of Jonathan and studied his face with its head tilted.
Perhaps Jonathan had been oppressed in the forest for too long that he found the bat rather amicable.
He slowly extended his hand, enveloped it with spiritual energy, and held the animal gently.
The bat's body was hot. In fact, Jonathan could even feel the bat's intense heartbeat.
In the next second, the bat lowered its head and bit Jonathan's finger.

The spirit shield instantly broke, and the bat's sharp teeth sank into Jonathan's flesh.
The moment Jonathan felt the pain, he squeezed the bat tight with his left hand until it was completely crushed.
When the bat's blood spurted into the air, the sound of gentle thumping against wooden planks resounded around him.
After plucking the bat's fangs out of his finger, Jonathan looked up and stared at the dark forest ahead of him.
As the fire illuminated the area, pairs of eyes slowly opened and fixed their gazes on Jonathan.
Soon, the number of eyes increased to thousands.
A chill ran down his spine as he stared at the bats hanging upside down from the branches.
The fire was raging in the strange forest. Jonathan stood firmly on the ground with the magical item in his hand, warily watching
the changes happening around him.
That was because he did not sense the bats in his spiritual sense. It was as if those tiny things did not exist at all.
That was because he did not sense the bats in his spiritual sense. It was as if those tiny things did not exist at all.
Tossing the fangs aside, Jonathan slowly backed away and ran into the blazing fire.
The thousands of bats flew after him, blocking off the view of the sky. With their ability to perform spiritual destruction, even a
Divine Realm cultivator would flee, let alone a cultivator from God Realm.
Meanwhile, about several thousand meters away from the fire, a figure was charging toward the forest.
Although the branches kept stabbing at the intruder, they were blocked off by the radiant white light around his body. He was not
the slightest bit injured.
The person pursuing Jonathan was none other than Vikas.

He was responsible for guarding outside the formation on the south of Springwyn. He did not know what had happened on the
inside when the Hexagram Array blocked off everything.
The moment he entered the formation, he was shaken by the horrifying sight of bloody corpses.
In order to capture Jonathan, Vikas entered the portal formation as well and was transported to the forest.
At first, Vikas had no leads. Lucky for him, Jonathan started the fire at the right time, and Vikas charged in that direction.
What he did not know was that he could have lived longer if he did not encounter Jonathan at that moment.
Jonathan charged through the fire, while the bats zipped after him.
Smack! Smack!
Jonathan swept his staff behind him and turned two bats into nothing but blood mist.
He was confused when he realized the bats' bodies were not strong.
They managed to break through my spirit shield, yet they're so weak. This doesn't match the qualities of a demon beast.
As the ground beneath his feet continued to crack, Jonathan halted and flew backward.
He swung the staff in the air, and many dead bats fell from the sky. In just a few seconds' time, Jonathan had eliminated
hundreds of demon beasts.
This time, Jonathan sensed something amiss.
It turned out that the bats were eating corpses of their kind.
Moreover, the bats that ate their kind doubled in size in just a short amount of time. Even the aura in their body seemed to have
increased.

Are they demon beasts that devour on others to grow?
Jonathan swung his magical item and smashed the head of the bat that was one and a half meters tall.
He had used fifty percent of his strength in that attack.
If the other bats were hit, they would have exploded into blood mist. However, that bat was still struggling after crashing to the
ground.
That bat had only eaten a few bodies of its kind.
Jonathan eyed the bat in bewilderment and mulled it over.
Apart from the bronze handbell, the bats kept banging on Jonathan's protective barrier. However, the bronze handbell's golden
light protective barrier was not made of pure condensed spiritual energy, so it was useless against the bats' attack.
Putting it away, Jonathan swung the staff again and brought it down on the bigger bat's head. Only then did it die.
It took seventy percent of his strength, and Jonathan was shocked.
It would take at least a few decades of cultivation for a cultivator to train his or her body to the point of being able to withstand a
God Realm cultivator's attack. On top of that, they could not hit a bottleneck during that period. They had to progress swiftly all
the way to Grandmaster Realm.
However, the bats had completed the transformation in just ten minutes.
Jonathan scowled as he stared at the bats consuming the bodies of its kind.
I can't keep fighting them. I can't imagine what terrifying existence will be born if I do.
Jonathan kept the staff and fled into the distance with the bronze handbell.

It was then he finally felt something rapidly approaching him from up ahead. It was a spiritual energy that was as powerful as his.
Jonathan unsheathed Heaven Sword, looking as calm as ever.
Anyone who appeared in such a strange place could only be an enemy.
In just a few seconds, the two God Realm cultivators identified each other's identity thanks to the light from the fire.
“It's you!”
“Go to hell!”
The moment their voices rang out, Vikas instantly threw a fist at Jonathan without hesitation.
The wind howled as an invisible palm came rushing toward Jonathan like a collapsing mountain.
Lifting Heaven Sword into the air, Jonathan split the palm into two and leaped out from it.
“Take this!” yelled Jonathan.
Alas, it was too late. The palm that was split into two was like sturdy walls that easily crushed countless bat corpses behind him.
A look of horror crept onto Jonathan's face as he watched the surrounding bats frantically devouring the bodies of their kind.
“We're done for this time.”
