Legend of the Heavenly God
Ch. 3 ~ Deathly Forest

The territory that became the residence of one of the top grade saint spiritual beasts. Deep in the forest there is a branching cave, each branch will lead to a different place. One of them is to the place where the creature lives.

With his holy status, the creature has been training for hundreds of years to ascend to heaven and can transform into a human form as desired.

The beasts in this Deathly Forest were of several classes. Early, middle, upper, and peak grade ferocious beasts.

Even though it was still an early grade, compared to the top grade beasts in other continents it was still higher in the attack power and endurance of the beasts in this forest.

That was what Tan Hao had not realized because he had never left this island and did not even know there was another life outside this island.

For a Tan Hao early and middle grade ferocious beast was no match for his physical strength as well as his endurance. With a single attack will immediately be seriously injured and even killed. Unlike the high-class ferocious beasts that were still a match for his physical strength. Even so, on this island high-class wild animals are rarely found.

Meanwhile Tan Hao had reached the interior of the forest of death.

"Hm ... Where should I start?" muttered Tan Hao while looking left-right.

"Ahh whatever! The important thing is to be able to gather resources, the rest must last for one month. Hmm... It looks like it's going to be interesting, hahaha!" exclaiming Tan Hao walked leisurely while looking at the other side of the forest.

Although the strength that Tan Hao possessed was high yet was not an excuse for his uncle not to keep an eye on, Yao Liu was seen smiling faintly in his book room.

'Looks like I need to go deeper and put this thing down. After all, no one will take it before the owner.'

a person with a wide camping and gray robe hid behind the trees while carrying a wooden box.

Without feeling it the day had gotten darker since Tan Hao entered the forest. The high intelligence and ability he had, it was not difficult for him to gather almost half of everything he needed.

"I'd better find a place to spend the night, and think of a plan for tomorrow! But, it looks like I'll have to hunt a partridge for dinner first." Tan Hao held the stomach that continued to sound, because it had not filled his stomach for most of the day. A heavy step and an expression of fatigue were seen on his face but did not stop him from continuing to walk through the forest.

After getting around five jungle chickens, Tan Hao entered a cave and lit a fire using two small stones to roast his dinner.

Amidst the fun he was enjoying dinner, a voice suddenly echoed quietly. But it sounds so clear as it is so close. Realizing that voice was no ordinary sound, Tan Hao immediately acted alert despite still enjoying the dish.

"Your head is big too, man! Dare to set foot in my territory?" the voice echoed with a big tone. Making anyone who hears will shudder in fear.

Moments after the sound was gone, the aura inside the cave suddenly became heavy and heavier, accompanied by a killing intent that was so intense.

"Who's there!" tan Hao shouted staring intently.

"Hey ... Who'sis that? Come out, don't be a coward!" he shouted again after not getting any response.

Not long after the aura that came increasingly thick and stifling, at the end of Tan Hao's vision was seen a shadow.

Tan Hao immediately grabbed the hilt of his sword preparing to attack just in case the creature attacked suddenly.

''Get out of here or I'm a victim, man!"

"I'm sorry, it's not meant to disturb you or rule your territory. I'm just looking for shelter and rest!" sahut Tan Hao was firm even though the creature was not yet clearly visible.

"Where is that creature? Am I having hallucinations? Let me look deeper into this cave! Maybe I found something!" inner Tan Hao while walking into the cave, while he was still tightly grasping his sword.

But who would have thought, just a few steps Tan Hao fell unconscious. But, he did not realize that, his subconscious still felt in the same place.

He kept going deeper and deeper. But the deeper into it is not dark but the more luminous it is as bright as day.

"Ehh, where is this? I'm sure it's still night, just some time walking here why is it day?" Tan Hao wondered as he scratched his non-itchy temple plan.

'It looks like there's someone! May I not disturb him and end up wretched.' Inner Tan Hao after seeing there is a person sitting cross-legged not far from his position.

''Sorry uncle! What is this place and where?" tanya Tan Hao hesitated a little.

Tan Hao's hesitation disappeared after the person opened his eyes while smilingly looking back at him.

"Young man, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Come here, there are many things I want to make sure of!" she said slowly with a smile, her attitude looking so friendly.

Tan Hao was quite careful when approaching the figure, although in his heart he was confused why there were other humans in the cave but he did not reduce his level of vigilance. For he knew from his uncle's words that there were no men on this island but himself and Yao Liu. But, in front of him now seen from anywhere is a human.

''Don't be afraid! I will not do evil to you but the opposite. You've been a long time since I've waited and believe that I've been watching you from time to time until you're in front of me. If I'm mean, I've been doing that a long time...!" the light of that person who was approximately thirty years old, his eyes looked narrowed along with a widened smile.

"Ehh! I-i...."

Having not had time to finish his words, the man cut off Tan Hao's words.

"Calm down young man, to convince you! First introduce my name is Ye Yuan. I've been here for over a thousand years. Waiting for someone who will free me from the hatred that now rules me...."

Tan Hao began to soften while taking a deep breath then sat down in front of Ye Yuan while continuing to listen to Ye Yuan's words without cutting him off.

"...And you just met him, even though you didn't see his embodiment, because he was afraid to show himself to you, and that astonished me! But once you're here I just realize that something inside your pure and holy body is the reason my hatred is afraid of you and not continuing its plan to devour you!" clearly Ye Yuan while holding out a glass of water.

"I mean uncle? The creature I met in the mouth of the cave just now?" tan Hao asked as he continued to observe.

"Yes you're right! I have not fully introduced myself to you. My name is Ye Yuan and I am a peak stage saint spiritual beast. I am only one of the 10 sacred spiritual animals that came third after creation. Why am I here ... Because the 10 saint spirit beasts were not placed in the same place. We were scattered to all corners of the world. The Goddess who created us did not say the purpose, just said something ordinary that separated us so as not to kill each other because of the seizure of territory. It's just that we realized it wasn't the real purpose, because we were created in pairs. When we were separated then it directly affected our spirit hearts and gave rise to the hatred that controlled our spirit bodies," Ye Yuan explained as he occasionally glanced at Tan Hao.

"So what uncle meant? Uncle is the true spirit beast heart consciousness? Then the ten animals are also the same as the condition of uncle today, if I may know who they are? I'm curious about your story, Uncle Ye Yuan!" tan Hao asked seriously while propping up his chin using one hand.

''Haha, it seems like I underestimated your ingenuity too much! All right I'll explain. But before that, are you willing if I become your Spirit Energy? Take me out of this place and take me on a journey! At least my strength is in third place, you know...! If I could find my partner on the way then my strength increased many times. How's it?" ye Yuan asked clearly his face was expectantly shameless.

"Ehh! Spirit Energy? I can consider it, but what is it? Is it some kind of high-level power?"

"Haha, you idiot! Spirit Energy has nothing to do with inner power, after all that inner energy for a weak human who calls himself a swordsman ... Haha spirit energy is more than that! Those with energy spirits can be said to be the strongest of all the warriors in your world, hahaha ...!" obviously Ye Yuan while continuing to laugh.

''If so. There is no reason to refuse uncle's request! Means I will become strong after coming out of this island," Tan Hao replied excitedly after hearing Ye Yuan's brief explanation.

"After I tell and explain everything, I will teach you how to absorb the energy spirit!"
