Chapter 596

After smashing the head of a giant ape beast with a punch, Gu Ding's black Devouring Flame gushed out of his palm and covered the giant beast's body.

The giant ape's body shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into pure flesh and blood energy that returned to Gu Ding's body. In just a few seconds, the twenty-meter-long giant ape's shriveled body dissipated. Gu Ding put away the flame and continued to rush forward.

After three days of hunting and killing thousands of beasts, Gu Ding finally stepped out of the dense forest and saw the human city.

Gu Ding had only used his Soul Attack twice in the past three days. The first time was when he encountered a third-rank true god-level giant ape demon beast, and the second time was when he encountered a fourth-rank black python.

The two true god-level demon beasts thought they had encountered delicious food, but they did not expect Gu Ding to wipe out their souls in an instant. Gu Ding's speed was far inferior to the demon beasts of this level, and he could not escape at all. If he fought, he would not even be able to scratch their skin, so he could only use his Soul Attack to kill them and put the two huge bodies into the Storage Space.

With the strength of Gu Ding's current Divine Fire, he could at most refine the bodies of nine-star half-step true god-level demon beasts. He could not refine the bodies of true god-level demons, so he could only store them.

The blood and vitality of the thousands of demon beasts that were devoured by Gu Ding's Devouring Flame were all absorbed by him, and his physical body was upgraded to the level of a one-star half-step true god-level. However, Gu Ding's physical body seemed to have reached a bottleneck, and there were no signs of improvement. Therefore, Gu Ding began to cultivate the Imperial Manifestation Body instead.

The cultivation of the Imperial Manifestation Body required a large amount of blood and vitality. The blood and vitality of thousands of demon beasts only increased the power of the Magic Image Realm from 7,000 times to 7,300 times, and there was no change in the physical realm. However, Gu Ding was still satisfied with the result. Three days had increased by three hundred times. At this rate, he would soon be able to enter the third realm of the Imperial Manifestation Body. He had to stay in this world for a full year, so there was no need to rush things.

The human city wall was only five meters tall, which was completely different from the grandeur Gu Ding had imagined.

"The city wall is so short that it can't be used for defense, right?" Gu Ding could not help muttering.

"In this world, there are many more demonic beasts than humans. True Divinities are all over a hundred meters tall. If we were to build that kind of city wall, it would consume too much manpower and resources. Furthermore, no one knew how to set up a defensive array formation. Once the city wall was built, it would be destroyed in a single strike. Therefore, it was enough to build this kind of low wall to defend against some weak little beasts. Furthermore, there are people hunting demonic beasts in the vicinity of the city every day. This city wall is actually just a decoration. "

The Sea Sovereign's explanation was simple and clear. In fact, if a city did not have a defensive array formation or dao pattern, it did not matter if it did not have a city wall. Regardless of whether it was made of bricks or metal, it would be easily destroyed under absolute power. Only with the addition of arrays or Dao patterns would it have a real defensive effect.

As he neared the city gate, Gu Ding attracted a lot of attention. Those people were hunters who hunted monsters outside the city.

Gu Ding attracted attention because of his body size. In this world, everyone cultivated their bodies directly, causing their bodies to be bigger than the humans in the Cosmic Sea where Gu Ding was. Gu Ding's height of 1.8 meters was average in the Cosmic Sea, but in this world, he was considered a dwarf. The adult men in this world were basically more than 2.5 meters tall, and there were even quite a few who were more than three meters tall. They were all about the same size as Biggie.

Not only was Gu Ding not tall enough, but he was also very thin. In the Cosmic Sea, his body was already considered thin. In the eyes of the local residents in this world, it was simply a symbol of malnutrition. There were even many children who were about the same height as Gu Ding whose arms were thicker than Gu Ding's thighs.

"If you don't eat properly, you'll definitely become as thin as this big brother of yours." An auntie about three meters tall was walking out of the city. When she saw Gu Ding, she said to the child on her left.

Gu Ding naturally heard what she said. He was a little speechless, but he finally understood why these people were looking at him with such strange eyes.

After confirming that the gazes were not malicious, Gu Ding walked toward the city gate. Just as he was about to step into the city, he was blocked by two big, strong hands. The ones who stopped him were two gatekeepers.

"You're from the countryside, right? Don't you know the rules? You have to pay an entrance fee to enter the city! "A bearded guard on the left with a fierce face said.

"Entrance fee?" Gu Ding was stunned when he heard this, and immediately communicated with Neptune through his consciousness. "The currency here isn't Dawn Stones, is it?"

"Of course not! The currency here is called Blood Beads. It's a special mineral that contains a small amount of Vitality energy. It's also a special product of this world. You can use the beast carcasses in your Inventory to exchange for Blood Beads. A lower deity's beast carcass can be exchanged for 100 to 500 Blood Beads, a middle deity can be exchanged for 1000 to 5000 Blood Beads, a higher deity can be exchanged for ten times more than a middle deity, and an extreme deity can be exchanged for ten times more than a higher deity, and so on, "Neptune explained.

In fact, Gu Ding's Inventory had a lot of extra beast carcasses, but they were not at the level of an extreme deity. They were not very helpful for the cultivation of his Emperor Body of Nature Manifestation. He had originally planned to keep them and sell them when he entered the city.

"How much is the entrance fee?" Gu Ding looked up at the guard when he heard what Neptune said.

"100 Blood Beads." The bearded guard held out a finger.

"I don't have any money on me. Can I use beast carcasses instead?" Gu Ding asked with a grin.

"You can use beast carcasses instead!" The bearded guard nodded.

As soon as he finished speaking, a lower deity's beast carcass appeared in front of Gu Ding. "Will this do?"

The bearded guard saw the thumb-sized hole in the beast carcass's head at a glance. His pupils shrank suddenly, and he thought to himself, 'What a neat technique!'

He walked around the beast carcass and secretly looked at Gu Ding at the same time. Then, he nodded. "It's done. Go in!"

Gu Ding grinned and strode toward the city.

Seeing that Gu Ding had gone far away, the bearded guard squatted down and reached out to turn the beast carcass over. He examined it carefully, and after a while, he finally clicked his tongue. "I didn't expect that malnourished kid to be a master. There was only this fatal wound on the beast carcass. Other than that, there were no other scars. This means that the kid just now killed this beast with one finger, without any extra attack. This finger was right in the center of the forehead. Steady, accurate, and ruthless, not a single word wrong … "
