Various sounds of sonic booms and explosions continuously erupted at the summit of Heavenly Extremity Peak. Accompanying these sounds were fierce beast roars, along with a large amount of debris and vegetation scattering in all directions.

  Xing Peng, executing the "Wind Shadow Steps," stood like a surreal immortal, hands behind his back, atop a towering ancient tree, his gaze fervently fixed on the battle below involving five ferocious beasts.

  As time passed, these five beasts had reached a fever pitch in their brutal and bloody combat. They were truly fighting with all they had, paying much less attention to Xing Peng than they had at the outset. Now, if Xing Peng chose to leave, his chances of escaping these beasts' pursuit were at least above fifty percent.

  However, as the beasts fought more fiercely, Xing Peng had no intention of leaving. The five beasts were more or less injured, with the Green-faced Fang Python, one white and one green, suffering the most severe wounds. Blood flowed from their bodies, and deep, bone-exposing wounds appeared on their skin, even revealing the Green-faced Fang Python's inner core.

  The inner core of a beast was not only an excellent supplement for humans but also a rare treasure for other beasts. As the inner core of the Green-faced Fang Python became vaguely visible, beasts like the Golden-back Tiger grew covetous of it. Their eyes shimmered with bloodthirst and undisguised greed, akin to a john's lustful gaze upon a prostitute.

  "Hmph! Beasts will always be beasts. Even though they've evolved into fierce creatures, their beastly nature remains uncultured! The fiercer they fight, the greater my advantage. This time, I might indeed obtain some valuable spoils of war!" Xing Peng watched the battle among the Golden-back Tiger and other beasts, sneering internally.

  Initially, being pursued by the Green-faced Fang Python was frustrating for Xing Peng. At that time, he thought of using the python's pursuit to sharpen his own skills. It was not until the Golden-back Tiger and other beasts joined the fray that he truly felt endangered. However, now, that crisis was almost entirely resolved. Although the Green-faced Fang Python was being grievously injured by the Silver Wing Golden Tusk Elephant and other beasts, nearing death, it did not give up resistance. Its venomous spit and constricting attacks also wounded the Golden-back Tiger and others.

  Xing Peng was clear that the Green-faced Fang Python was likely doomed. Although its venom was formidable, it could not stand against the simultaneous attack of the Golden-back Tiger and the other two beasts. Once the Green-faced Fang Python fell, revealing its inner core, an internal battle among the Golden-back Tiger, Silver Wing Golden Tusk Elephant, and King Kong Gorilla would inevitably erupt, leading to fierce conflict. Thus, Xing Peng was in no hurry to leave, seeing the situation as nearly settled and the opportunity as clear.

  "Boom!" The King Kong Gorilla delivered another powerful punch to the python, causing the Green-faced Fang Python's body to shudder violently before it suddenly spat out blood and showed signs of lifelessness.

  As the python fell, the Golden-back Tiger's attack and the Silver Wing Golden Tusk Elephant's deadly strike also fiercely landed on the white python, tearing its body apart. Almost instantaneously, a human-head-sized inner core rolled out from the white python's body.

  No sooner had the inner core appeared than the Golden-back Tiger and Silver Wing Golden Tusk Elephant set their sights on it. Their gaze on the inner core was immediately followed by a fierce roar towards each other, both sounds filled with ferocity and warning.

  The Golden-back Tiger and Silver Wing Golden Tusk Elephant faced off, each exuding a bloodthirsty aura, as if daring the other to step forward and face immediate retaliation. During their standoff, the King Kong Gorilla tore open the body of the green python, revealing another inner core of similar size.

  Two inner cores, three covetous beasts, with two already in a standoff, seemed to give the King Kong Gorilla an advantage. However, just as the King Kong Gorilla was about to devour the inner core, a swift "swoosh" of air was heard, and a figure suddenly appeared beside the inner core, grabbed it, and fled into the distance.

  The King Kong Gorilla, stunned, stared dumbfounded at the escaping figure for a long moment before reacting. Once the figure had disappeared, it roared in furious frustration. In its simple mind, it couldn't believe what had just happened, that the 'ant' it had overlooked dared to steal from its mouth.

  Though the King Kong Gorilla roared in madness, it did not immediately pursue Xing Peng but instead turned its fiery gaze to the other inner core. To these uncultured beasts, a nearby treasure was the first to be devoured. It planned to consume this inner core before dealing with the 'ant.'

  As the King Kong Gorilla focused on the other inner core, moving towards it, it joined the standoff between the Golden-back Tiger and Silver Wing Golden Tusk Elephant. For a moment, all three beasts' gazes were intensely bloodthirsty, and their emanating aura was frighteningly powerful.

  Meanwhile, Xing Peng, taking advantage of the standoff between the Silver Wing Golden Tusk Elephant and the Golden-back Tiger, had snatched the Green-faced Fang Python's inner core from the King Kong Gorilla's grasp. In the blink of an eye, he had run far away, stopping only when he no longer sensed the King Kong Gorilla's pursuit. He looked back towards the location of the beasts with confusion.

  "That King Kong Gorilla didn't chase after me?"

  "Beasts will always be beasts! This has turned out entirely to my advantage!"

  Seeing that the King Kong Gorilla did not pursue, Xing Peng decided not to run further but instead immediately find a place to refine the inner core. By refining this inner core, his strength would surely increase, and perhaps he could obtain a few more inner cores. With the Golden-back Tiger and others' warning roars, Xing Peng didn't need to think hard to know that the King Kong Gorilla had also joined the standoff. The three beasts coveting one inner core would surely engage in a fierce battle.
