Chapter 166: Armadillo Beast Tribe

While Lex's fox beasts fought against the final surviving rock worm beasts for their territory, Lex was cultivating while sustaining the 4 clones that he was now capable of forming.

Lex knew his the cultivation alone wouldn't be enough to break through, and it would only lessen the hurdle that he had to overcome, but was focusing on learning more about the elements around him and begun pondering on the next part of the Elemental Ascension Method.

Lex was aiming to learn and improve the Elemental Energy Transformations, to practice and improve his skills and ability to wield energy of all elements, while also slowly reducing the size of the bottleneck.

All meanwhile, he was also practising and improving the Penetrative Fist, which he was able to do all at once with his multiple clones.

Within a few days, his fox beasts had taken over the territory of the rock worm beasts, and Lex had managed to lessen the hurdle of the bottleneck while also practising and improving his skills with his 4 clones.

Lex knew that his progress wasn't quick enough if he was to face against the demonic cultivation master, but if he was able to break through into the Golden Mortal Rank, he might be able to protect the continent.

His fox beasts had all increased their power massively and he trusted them to be able to protect themselves, so Lex set his sights on the other main beast tribes.

He was planning to pick off the leaders of all the beast tribes and the strongest beasts, then allow his fox beasts to defeat the rest of the beasts to strengthen themselves and train through combat.

He was sure he could defeat the other beast tribe leaders quite easily, but what he was unsure of was being able to defeat the giant ant queen that was able to sense his clone even while travelling underground using the Land Elemental Energy Transformation.

Lex was not only attempting to take over the Underground Coves with his fox beasts to increase his strength, but also to gain the portable sub-dimension that would be a massive help for him and would allow him to take his fox beasts with him without revealing them to the opponent.

Trusting in Ella and Angela's to be able to prepare the continent for the attack, Lex knew that the rest was up to him to gain enough strength to be able to defeat the demonic cultivation master.

"Fox beasts I will be heading out for the next beast tribe, and will aim for the leader and the strongest beasts" announced Lex as he projected his voice which resounded and echoed throughout the area.

After the fox beasts gathered around him, Lex continued with what he was saying.

"I will leave the rest of the beasts for you to defeat and devour after you have managed to defeat all the beasts and we will aim to defeat the other strongest beast tribes within a week, in preparation for the giant ant beast tribe which is the strongest" stated Lex.

The next beast tribe that Lex was heading for was the armadillo tribe and he was planning to use his Penetrative Fist to attack past their armour, which he had practised.

Lex had acquired his Armadillo Armour from one of their kind, and the armadillo beast he came across had accidentally broken through to the surface and was overwhelmed by the light of the sun.

After adapting to the living environment of the surface, that was much different to that of the Underground Coves, the beast set out to explore and was accidentally found by Lex, who was looking around the area close to the mountainous region for powerful beasts to hunt.

They fought, Lex gained the upper hand, then the armadillo beast attempted to escape back to the Underground Coves, but Lex caught the beast and returned to his seclusion within the mountainous region after defeating it.

Over the past few days, he had managed to improve the Penetrative Fist while also lowering its activation time and use of energy, by increasing his control and removing any unneeded steps in the process.

The fox beasts had all become blood-thirsty hunters that enjoyed hunting beasts and devouring their bodies and cores, but they were still only small and cute fox beasts in the eyes of Lex who had been nurturing and strengthening them over the past few months.

Howling in reply, the fox beasts were ready as they set out and moved towards the Armadillo Beast Tribe at incredible speeds.

Lex had noticed as they became stronger, the offspring that they gave birth to would already be born at a high rank and unlike humans, the beasts wouldn't be born at the Mortal Rank.

It was something that he had never seen before, but considering the amount of energy that the female fox beasts consumed while they were pregnant, in the form of beast meat and beast cores, it was understandable.

They were slowly but steadily increasing in size as they were all cross-breeding between the fox beast races, but the few inevitable casualties were halting the growth of the population of fox beasts.

Blitzing through the Underground Coves, Lex and his fox beasts destroyed any walls or beasts in their way as they travelled towards the Armadillo Beast Tribe.

Lex didn't care about causing a commotion or revealing himself, and was declaring war against every beast in the Underground Coes by doing so.

The appearance of the Underground Coves was the same throughout and it was void of any plants, which was why the beasts relied on hunting to survive.

However the energy within the Underground Coves was denser than on the surface, and the closer they went towards the centre, the more abundant the energy was.

The giant ant beast tribe had managed to gain such incredible strength, while also completely gaining control of the centre of the Underground Coves, and made Lex wonder whether there was a treasure within the centre that helped them to do so, and would also explain the dense energy in the Underground Coves.

But focusing on the task at hand, knowing that he would be able to relieve his curiosity after reaching the Giant Ant Beast Tribe, Lex waltzed into he Armadillo Beast Tribe and began wreaking havoc with his fox beasts.
