On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

"KOOOOO!!!" A thunderous roar reverberated through the forest as Chen Tian found himself face to face with an extraordinary creature.

It was unlike anything he had ever laid eyes on—a 2-meter beast bearing a resemblance to a kangaroo, but distinguished by its fiery red fur and imposing stature.

The kangaroo-like beast locked its intense gaze onto Chen Tian, its eyes shimmering with a captivating blend of curiosity and power.

"That's a Koru Beast!" Su Bingxin, who followed Chen Tian, was trembling in fear.

"A Koru?" Chen Tian observed her reaction and decided to utilize Chaos Insight, it was the first time Chen Tian used it on another living being.

*****

Name: Koru

Level: First Stage of the Qi Refinement Realm

Traits: Great Strength: Third Stage of the Qi Refinement Realm

*****

'The strength of a Third Stage of the Qi Refinement Realm is perfect with this I can confirm how strong my body is." Chen Tian realized. It became clear to him why Su Bingxin trembled upon encountering this creature.

The beast named Koru possesses formidable strength, that reached the Third Stage of the Qi Refinement Realm. This indicates that Koru was a beast of exceptional strength.

"Chen Tian, I think we should back out." Su Bingxin, took hold of Chen Tian's hand.

Chen Tian hesitated for a moment, contemplating Su Bingxin's suggestion. The strength of Koru, reaching the Third Stage of the Qi Refinement Realm, was indeed a cause for concern for Su Bingxin.

But for someone like him who has the Chaos God body that boosts his physique to another level, Chen Tian had the confidence he could defeat the beast in front of him.

"No, Bingxin," Chen Tian replied firmly. "We have come this far, and I believe with our strength we can defeat it."

"Sigh..., you're hopeless; fine, I will help you."

Chen Tian refused. "I want to test something, so I am going to face it alone."

Bingxin looked at Chen Tian with concern in her eyes. "Are you sure about this? It's a dangerous the beast we're dealing with. Its strength is above its cultivation base. I don't want to see you get hurt."

Chen Tian nodded, his determination unwavering. "I understand, Bingxin; don't worry; I never take on a battle that I know I can't win."

Bingxin sighed, realizing she couldn't change Chen Tian's mind. "Very well, but promise me that you'll be careful and come back to me in one piece."

Chen Tian smiled at her reassuringly. "I promise. I'll be back before you know it."

With that, Chen Tian walked toward the beast.

The beast did not attack them but instead looked at them with curiosity. It leaped and bounded around effortlessly, propelled into the air by its powerful hind legs. Chen Tian cautiously approached the kangaroo-like creature, captivated by its behavior.

As Chen Tian drew nearer, he observed that the kangaroo-like beast possessed a muscular build and a thick, red, fur-covered body. Its large, expressive eyes exhibited both intelligence and curiosity. The creature's ears perked up as Chen Tian approached, and it appeared to tilt its head inquisitively.

Upon Chen Tian's approach, the beast swiftly shifted its stance, tensing its muscles as if preparing for a confrontation. It stood upright on its commanding hind legs, revealing its towering height and imposing presence. The beast's thick, red fur seemed to bristle with intensity, further emphasizing its formidable appearance.

Chen Tian braced himself, preparing for the imminent attack.

With a swift, fluid motion, the beast threw a punch with its muscular arms, showcasing its strength and agility. Its movements resembled those of a kangaroo.

WOoshhh~~

Chen Tian tilted his head and avoided the punch that was directed toward his face.

He could feel the air rush past him as the beast's strike whizzed by, narrowly missing its target.

With a near miss, Chen Tian's heart raced, adrenaline pumping through his veins. He knew he had to stay focused and agile to evade the relentless onslaught.

In a split second, Chen Tian made a decision. He swiftly maneuvered his body, leaning to the side and dodging another lethal strike.

A kangaroo punch is not something to be taken lightly. Kangaroos are powerful animals with well-developed muscles, including their arms and legs. While kangaroos primarily use their punches for self-defense and establishing dominance among other kangaroos, their punches can cause significant harm to humans.

A kangaroo's punch is delivered with its strong hind legs, which are built for hopping and have large claws. They can kick and strike with great force, potentially leading to serious injuries. The impact of a kangaroo punch can result in broken bones, lacerations, internal injuries, and even knockouts.

Not to mention that the beast in front of him wasn't a normal kangaroo; if that beast's punch landed on him, he would get injured.

"The best way is to attack." Chen Tian, though, as he dodged another punch with a swift and agile leap to the left, assessing the situation in the split second he had.

Chen Tian continued to move swiftly and agilely around the beast, leaping and evading its attacks. With each leap, he carefully observed the creature, assessing its strengths and weaknesses.

As Chen Tian circled the beast, he noticed that its movements were somewhat sluggish. It seemed to rely more on its brute strength than agility. Chen Tian knew that exploiting this weakness would be crucial to his approach.

"Wait, why am I even avoiding its attack?" In the first place, he decided to take on this beast to test his body strength; there was no point in avoiding it.

Chen Tian took a deep breath, channeling his focus and strength. He decided to abandon his evasive tactics and face the beast head-on. If it relied on brute strength, he would meet it with his own.

Without further hesitation, he launched himself toward the beast, throwing a powerful punch directly at its body.

"What!"

Su Bingxin, who was watching the fight, was shocked.

One should be aware that the beast possessed exceptional strength, making it too formidable for any cultivator in the Qi Refinement Realm to confront directly.

Upon witnessing Chen Tian's reckless action, Su Bingxin was filled with shock.

She knew the danger he was putting himself in by directly confronting the beast with a powerful punch.

The girl still doesn't know that Chen Tian had already reached the Qi Refinement Realm. His cultivation level remained concealed from everyone except Xu Zhiyuan, whose own cultivation was high enough to discover Chen Tian's true cultivation level.

"Kooo"

The beast, seeing a punch coming toward him, also swiftly retaliated by throwing a powerful punch of its own.

Bang

As Chen Tian's punch and the beast's punch collided, a shockwave reverberated through the air. The impact sent a powerful jolt through both Chen Tian and the beast, causing them to stagger backward momentarily.

The clash of their punches created a burst of energy, crackling with intense force.

"Haa, so my body strength is comparable to a Third Stage Qi Refinement Realm?" Seeing the beast also stagger backward, Chen Tian got the gist of his body strength.

"Then you are of no use to me anymore," Chen Tian said as he looked at the beast.

Boom

As the beast regained its balance, it retaliated with a ferocious swing of its arm. Chen Tian anticipated the attack, swiftly evading the incoming strike with a sidestep.

He lunged forward, delivering a precise and powerful punch to the creature's exposed side.

The impact reverberated through the air, causing the beast to stagger backward. Its immense size determined to bring an end to the fight.

Chen Tian's muscles tensed as he channeled his Qi to flow through his body. With a focused mind, he directed the energy to his arm, infusing it with a surge of power. As he pulled back his arm, a radiant aura formed around his fist.

It only took a second for Chen Tian to do that, the beast was still affected by Chen Tian's previous punch, so it wasn't able to react to the upcoming punch directed toward him.

Bang

"Koooo!!"

Chen Tian's powerful punch landed squarely on the beast's stomach, causing it to let out a deafening roar of pain. The force of the blow sent the beast flying 10 feet backward.

Sensing an opportunity to end the fight, Chen Tian swiftly moved forward, a sword materializing in his hand.

With the sword firmly gripped in his hand, Chen Tian closed the distance between himself and the wounded beast with remarkable speed. The beast, still recovering from the powerful punch, struggled to regain its footing as Chen Tian positioned himself strategically, preparing for the decisive strike.

With a focused gaze and steady hand, Chen Tian raised the sword high above his head. The blade glinted in the sunlight.

In one fluid motion, he brought the sword down with incredible force, aiming for the beast's vulnerable neck.

The blade sliced through the air and found its mark, severing the creature's head from its body. The beast's deafening roar abruptly turned into a gurgling, choked sound as its life force dissipated.

The body fell heavily to the ground, twitching briefly before succumbing to stillness.
