The Unique Guardian Beast Master in Cultivation World

“Master, I can’t do it, I really can’t, I’m just a worthless good-for-nothing!”

In the lavish great hall, with its intricately carved beams and painted rafters, resplendent in every corner, Cheng Ping, now dressed in brocade, without any demeanor warranting such splendor, kneels on the ground, pleading desperately with the indifferent white-robed young man.

“So, what do you want to talk about?”

Feng Qing’an looks down at the young man knelt at his feet, devoid of any royal aura.

“Master, can’t you let me go back, I really can’t do it, I can’t protect everyone, I’m useless, I’m a failure.”

Young Cheng Ping lifts his head, his countenance filled with panic, fear, and a trace of expectation.

Just within half a month, he, who once thought his life worthless and dull, is now suffocating under the heavy burden thrust upon him.

At first, when he came back to the mortal world, under the guidance of the master, he turned into a demon, rescuing the villagers who were held captive by the snake demon. These villagers originally feared him, but now they revered him like a god, after he braved the streams and mountains to escort them back to the city.

People who narrowly escaped death from the mouth of the demon, naturally fear encountering similar situations again. As for the existence that can protect them, they can regard them as deities and worship them regardless of their appearances.

Many city gods have Yakshas, with green faces and sharp fangs, ugly and frightening, obeying their orders, yet these Yakshas also have statues in the City God Temples, revered and worshipped by the commoners.

Cheng Ping’s demon form, although more terrifying than the Yakshas, is not ugly but carries an aura of wild brutality and a majesty that can make demons submit. When such an existence stands in front of you, it naturally gives a sense of security.

Following the desperate pleas of the villagers, Cheng Ping agreed to their request and stayed in the city with them. Then, things developed as they naturally should.

In a world dominated by the Human Race, demons run rampant, especially in the towns with low population, which are vulnerable to demon attacks. In just a few days, the boy rose to prominence in the unfamiliar town, just as Feng Qing’an anticipated.

The heart of a young man is always filled with a certain passion. If he is weak and powerless, he can only resort to rhetoric, which is meaningless against reality. However, Cheng Ping has awakened an extremely powerful, unusual bloodline.

When he saw demons brutally slaughtering the Human Race, his burning passion would allow him to throw all of his worries behind and even burn his own life to trigger the power he had obtained.

However, what the boy does not know is that if he uses the power of the Yama Bloodline to fight, his “Lifespan” will deplete.

If he can win and devour the soul of the demon in combat before his power runs out, not only does he not have to worry about his “Lifespan” depletion, but his bloodline will further strengthen and gradually grow under the nourishment of the demon’s soul.

This bloodline, which can rapidly grow through battles with demons, requires not only enough kills in the battle with demons before “Lifespan” depletion, but also the ability to control a rapidly growing power.

For a practitioner who has to chant scriptures to nourish the soul at the beginning, the risk of deviating from the righteous path increases as he ascends his realm level, let alone controlling this kind of power that can grow unreasonably using the power of the bloodline.

For a young man with not quite mature mental strength to control this kind of inherently demonic power, which radiates wickedness from the inside out, he would normally fall into the path of demons and become a humanoid catastrophe wreaking havoc in the world if he doesn’t die.

However, with the presence of Feng Qing’an or more accurately Sen Miao, the Qilin Beast, they can protect the young man’s mental strength from the demonic nature of his bloodline and wickedness.

But the boy who doesn’t have much life experience hasn’t realized how terrifying his bloodline could be or how good of a protection he has received.

He was just acting out of sheer passion, fighting demons in an unfamiliar town for a group of humans who looked similar to him in the past.

But it was precisely because of this reckless and fearless determination, reminiscent of a newborn calf not fearing a tiger, that not only allowed him to continuously win against the demons—with there being no demon too wild that couldn’t be suppressed by someone behind the scenes— but also earned him the recognition of the townspeople.

The boy, whose Yama Bloodline power increased every day with each battle with the demons, was even put on a pedestal by the townsfolk. The boy was originally intoxicated with the enormous vanity and cheers of being worshipped by the people.

However, after he was dizzily elevated to the status of a deity amidst the townspeople’s cheers, shouts, and pleading, everything changed.

The original boy only needed to kill a demon to receive the people’s cheers, adoration, and awe-filled glances, but after he agreed to protect the city, risking his life to fight the demons, killing them were consequently seen as a matter of course.

The cheers and adoration gradually decreased, while complaints, criticism, and scolding gradually increased. The townspeople no longer appreciated him for killing the demons, instead they blamed him for not arriving early enough, causing their family members and relatives to lose their lives at the hands of the demons.
