Gate of Immortality

Chapter 7: Demonic beast and strange altar

As the rustling became louder, Yang shi began sweat crazily, he could feel something dangerous nearing him. A black shadow appeared and it gave Yang shi a soul leading fright. He saw a giant black panther at least thrice a big from an average tiger. Yang shi thought to retreat but, he found his body frozen. The panther glaring at Yang shi with it's glowing yellow eyes, as it neared Yang shi screamed and tried to faint, unfortunately, he couldn't faint. The panther showed disdain through its eyes and spoke like a human" Stop, feigning little mortal brat, hmph I couldn't even feel to hit you with your weak body, *tut* such a weak prey" Yang shi opened his eye and stared at the tiger dazedly, " A-t-talking TIGER???". "Hmph, brat, you dare to call me a taking tiger, I am a mighty demonic beast, I am a darkcloud panther." Yang shi quickly prostrated before the tiger and said " Yes, yes, Oh, mighty, demonic best lord, your power has no bounds, you can destroy a mountain with your single breath..."

" Enough bootlicking, brat.."

" No, it's not bootlicking sir, you are very great and mercifully, you need not to glance such a weak mortal like me, I can't even fit in your gaps of teeth"

Like humans, there are countless races practices cultivation, the normal animal,after a long year gains wisdom, and turned into ferocious beasts, they are intelligent, can absorb qi of heaven and earth, and understand human language. The panther in front of him, is even more dangerous than a ferocious beast, the panther was a demonic beast who can talk in human language and perform some powerful battle art. There was a legend that after this stage, demonic beasts can transform into a human form, of course, this was all a hearsay, that was Long Xuan a.k.a yang shi thought. The place Yang shi currently was the endless sky forest, the neighbor forest of blue sparrow kingdom, it has an abundance of normal wild beasts and a good number of ferocious beasts. Demonic beasts are very rare as its power was comparable to the human primordial spirit awakening realm. theses beings reside in deep woods, of course, its a no-man land. Yang shi terrified to think that he had accidentally intrude into a demonic beast's territory. No wonder there are no animals nearby. " damn it, such rotten luck, shouldn't I would have gotten a powerful treasure with a peerless cultivation technique, what the hell with this script." Yang shi cursed in his heart."Damn you old coot" yang shi swore at the mysterious man. "Mighty, demonic beast, since you decide to not eat me, I shall, be going then..."

" WAIT, did you ate the fruits of that tree??"

Yang shi halted, his face looked like a squashed eggplant. The fruits which tasted so sweet now feels like a poison. Yang shi had the urge to cry but no tear came.

" I-I-I did...not eat any...yellow fruit, great demonic beast." damn this slippery mouth.

" Interesting, I didn't say anything about yellow fruit... I know what to do with you"

" Please spare me great- ahhhhhh. Yang shi screamed as the panther pounced at him, lifted grabbed his clothes with its jaw, and dashed into woods.

After yang shi opened his eyes he wished he could close it again," Damn, is one demonic beast is not enough that heaven gave me another five demonic beast?" In front of him was a boar demon, a bull demon, a Snake demon and so on..

" Brother, panther, who is this kid, *sniff* such a bad odor, said the boar demonic beast.

" I brought some sacrifice for the altar"

" This mortal brat, for sacrifice, brother have you gone mad?, at least bring some qi realm cultivators"

" Well, meat of mosquito is still meat, besides for a month, not much people coming into the forest, and due to the covenant, we can't barge into human territories. so tell me, what should we do?"

After saying this the panther brought yang shi, into a cave. What yang shi saw caused him to vomit. Inside the cave was an open space, with a pool in the center, the pool was filled with dark red liquid, which was apparently human blood. Littered around it was countless bones, with four pillars at four corners. 'so, the so-called altar is an ancient formation, hmm, some runes aren't at its correct place and the blood energy is not enough the formation, Wait, hoe did I know this, Ah its the memory of that man"." who have you brought little black?" a voice boomed in the cave.

"My lord, I have brought the sacrifice."

*sigh* "this brat, with no cultivation, can't do much, still, better than nothing since I have been injured and we can't attack on human cities because of the pact. We need to quickly complete our task.

" Yes, Your Majesty"

The human-like person is certainly not a human, he has a horn on his forehead. Yang shi was burst to tears after he saw it,[ No this is not right, you are cheating, You are fucking cheating, This is a beast who transformed into a human. what the hell I should do now?]. Then something struck his brain.

" I GOT IT, YES yes, I know what are you doing, you want to concoct a crimson Blood vitality pill right?"

" Little boy, how did you know?" asked the demonic-man, raising his brows. Clearly, he didn't expect a mortal boy to know about such a matter.

" Hehe, I even know that you don't have the main ingredients, a large amount of blood."

" Heh, kid don't try to be smart, we will eventually gather enough blood for concoction." The black panther snickered, clearly he sensed something was amiss.

" Well, I thought to help you poor guys, but it seems, virtue is unnecessary"

" Then how a mortal like you can help us?" the demonic man asked. His curiosity has piqued.

" From your word, it seems you need a large amount of human blood for this altar to activate, but you can't gather much sacrifice as you can't attack on human civilization due to a pact, but what if people come here by themselves?", Yang Shi grinned mysteriously.

" You said you can lure humans here?" the panther asked. "You, a meager MORTAL?"

" Hehe, Beast king, an ant can go to such places where elephant can't go. Believe me, I can gather lots of human cultivators here."

" But aren't you a human yourself? why do you want to help us?" The demonic- man asked suspiciously.

" I have a life and death grudge for an enemy clan, I can not eliminate them with my meager power, thus I want your help, and besides you will set me free."

" Hmm, lad, if you do as you are saying, not only I can spare you, but also reward you."

" But what if you are lying and escape from here?" The panther asked doubtfully.

" There is no chance I can escape, you only need to follow my plan, and BOOM! , people shall come like a tide."

"Let's have a cooperation then." The demonic- man laughed loudly.

" So the first thing we need to do is......."

.....................................................................

* Outskirt of city*

Two guards with bronze plate armor, who was guarding the city gates, are talking.

" Brother Zhu, don't you think the forest has become too peaceful, these days?"

" Isn't this is the same all over years?" the brother Zhu said.

" No, I mean, even normal animals have vanished."

" Hmm, now you have said this...."

" HELP, SOMEBODY HELP..." brother Zhu was interrupted as someone shouted for help.

" Look, brother Zhu, that man is seriously wounded, let's check it out."

" LOOK, WHAT'S THAT?" brother Zhu shouted as he pointed at something.

Behind the bleeding man, a red-colored lion was coming, it looked at the two guards like its prey.

"A-A- high-level ferocious beast, Red blaze lion, Hurry and inform the captain." brother Zhu shouted.

" Fuck, how can a high-level ferocious beast came out of forest.? the second guard cursed under his breath as he runs toward the city.

On a large rock, a thin young man was sitting, gave a smirk

" The first step has initiated."
