Chapter 210: Cerberus!
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
Form and Will Sect had a long history, and was the overlord of a huge area. The numbers of experts within the sect were also countless.
The Form and Will Fist was also the famed martial technique of Form and Will Sect. Those who have not reached Evolved Jing were not allowed to learn more than two styles!
Right now, the so-called Form and Will Fist manuals circulating in the market were just watered versions of the simplified Form and Will Fist manual! Those manuals only had a minor effect for strengthening the body.
Bei Feng felt that as the birthplace of the Form and Will Fist martial technique, the sect would definitely have the complete records about it, and might even have detailed materials regarding all 12 Demonic Beasts.
As Bei Feng stopped practicing the Eagle Form Style, the essence blood from the Snow Ridge Celestial Eagle also stopped flowing into his body. This strange phenomenon was something that only appeared when he was cultivating the technique.
The tiny drops of blood were slowly refined by his body, causing Bei Feng's strength to increase by 400 to 500 jin in a short period of time!
'Forget about the Form and Will Fist. Fishing is still the real priority!'
Bei Feng flung the thought out of his mind for the time being. The Form and Will Sect was located all the way at the Qilian Mountains, in the Great Northwest. The distance was extremely far, and a trip to and fro would take a great amount of time to traverse.
Furthermore, the cooldown timer for utilizing the Myriad Heavens Fishing System had finally refreshed. This time, Bei Feng was hoping to fish up a treasure similar to the Reishi King. After all, he felt rather uncomfortable knowing he was owing someone else a favor.
With a thought, the Fusang Wood Fishing Rod appeared in his hands, emanating an archaic aura.
Bei Feng ran his fingers lightly over the woody patterns of the fishing rod. As he grabbed onto the hand grip, he felt a sense of extreme compatibility. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the patterns on the grip flowed exactly according to his palm print!
Even if Bei Feng moved his palms slightly, the patterns on the fishing rod would follow suit, shifting until it fitted him perfectly. When he was done admiring the intricacies of the rod, he directly cast the line into the well.
Bei Feng sat down lightly by the well as his snow-white robes fluttered in the breeze. Accompanying behind him was a huge patch of dazzling flowers, causing him to look like an immortal fisherman from a fantasy world.

In one of the many Myriad Worlds, there was a certain small town with a sizable populace. This town was bustling with activity, and the cries of numerous hawkers resounded throughout the din as each one competed in volume to advertise their wares. The business for all restaurants and wine lodges was simply bursting with prosperity.
As this town was situated on the edge of Mt Zhen Huan, countless Demonic Beast Hunters would stop by here frequently, causing it to flourish quickly.
Numerous large Demonic Beast carcasses were transported into the town at this moment, causing the merchants who were waiting at the side to spring into action immediately.
But among them, there were three merchants who did not even spare those Demonic Beast carcasses a single glance. Their faces remained expressionless as they gazed into the distance, as if they were waiting for something.
"It wasn't easy to finally discover that beast. We cannot let it escape!"
The representative of a large merchant house sighed as he looked at the other two.
"If it manages to get loose again, there will certainly be yet another bloodbath. God knows how many people will fall under its sharp claws at that time." The representative of the other large merchant group was a plump lady. Her face turned a little unsightly as she spoke.
"That beast is in the critical period of its advancement, and needs the support of large amounts of food and energy to support it. Before this, it'd already wiped out seven small towns, causing the death of tens of thousands. This matter had already attracted the attention of Lord Morpheus. Now that Lord Morpheus is personally leading a team to capture it, that beast would not be able to escape anymore!" The last merchant representative revealed with a cold gleam in his eyes.
"What? Lord Morpheus is taking action personally?!" the plump woman exclaimed as the fats around her waist jiggled with agitation.
"If Lord Morpheus is really coming in person, there's no way this would fail."
The other male merchant smiled as he released the burden in his heart. If this matter could not be resolved even with Lord Morpheus taking the helm, that would be a colossal joke.
At this time, at a town a few hundred li away, numerous loud cries and shouts could be heard. The entire area was desolated and covered in ruins.
"My Lord, we were late by a single step, allowing the beast to escape!" a bulky man draped in a long cape upon which was imprinted a five sided star suddenly appeared and reported.
"It's alright. That beast will not be able to run far. Chase after it!"
A tall, handsome man with features akin to a celestial immortal stood calmly in midair. Long, golden hair flowed behind his back, fluttering gently in the wind. His face remained expressionless as his gaze swept past the ruins of the town which resembled a living hell. Without another word, he soared away in a certain direction.
Not far away, a huge beast with three heads was making its way leisurely towards Mt Zhen Huan. Based on its appearance, this creature looked exactly like the fabled three-headed hell hound, the Cerberus!
"Some humans are coming," the leftmost head opened its mouth and said.
"Let's speed up. We've already consumed enough flesh and blood, so let's avoid any unnecessary complications," the center head said. This was the most critical point in their evolution, and it did not wish to engage in a fight with the humans.
"Too late, they've caught up." A terrifying gleam flashed in the eyes of the rightmost head.
"Evil beast! Hurry and surrender!"
Morpheus's voice blasted over from a great distance. At the same time, his body flashed several times as he appeared before the three-headed hound.
Following closely behind him, the team of 100 Demonic Beast Hunters also caught up and surrounded the Cerberus.
"Damn it, Old Second, what did I say? I told you to move a little faster, but you said that you were too full from eating and wanted to walk it off. Look at what happened!" the rightmost head scolded with annoyance as it looked at the leftmost head. They all shared the same stomach, but him and big bro were completely fine. Only that lazy Old Second complained about being too full.
"What's the big deal? We'll just swallow these bunch of humans together at the most," the leftmost head snapped back with indignation. At the same time, it turned its massive maw at the group of humans as it began salivating.
"Human, I can tell that you are very strong. However, we are not exactly weaklings either. If we really fought, I believe that none of us will come out of it well. Why don't we take a step back each and mind our own business?" The head in the middle suggested. Hearing the head in the middle speak up, the other two heads immediately fell silent, as though they had become fearful.
"That's impossible. Vile beast, you've attacked and devoured too many citizens of our empire. Thus, you need to receive judgment for your deeds!"
Morpheus looked down coldly at the huge Cerberus without any fear in his eyes.
"Hehe, we killed and ate those humans based on our own abilities. Why should we need to consider your judgment?" the leftmost head sneered arrogantly as saliva dripped off the side of its maw. It swiveled its beady eyes and examined the group of humans, as if it was deciding which one to swallow first.
Everyone looked back at the Cerberus, stunned. Even the other two heads on its body turned to look at the idiot speechlessly.
"Impudent! If that is the case, let's fight!"
Morpheus was so angered that he began laughing aloud. This was truly the first time he'd seen such an arrogant and presumptuous Demonic Beast.
"Raise the formation!" A loud voice echoed out. Immediately, the 100 strong Demonic Beast Hunter team all took out a formation plate. An eye dazzling five-pointed star suddenly appeared under the Cerberus's body!
The five-pointed star turned golden as numerous runes appeared, turning into countless realistic chains!
The chains were as lively as snakes, shooting towards its target with great speed!
The moment the five-pointed star appeared, a huge force also erupted forth in the same region, causing everything in the area of effect to sink downwards!
As for Morpheus, he remained standing motionlessly in midair. However, the aura around his body was growing stronger and stronger, as if he was charging up for a huge, killing blow!
"Break out of this formation!"
The huge Cerberus also felt its body sinking under the huge pressure. At this time, the head in the middle finally panicked and barked loudly.
