Chapter 100: Apex Predators - 100
There were 5 dinosaurs in total and each of them was around 20 feet tall. They had small arms hanging from their body and a slightly round head.
Zhou Fan decided to name them tyrannosaurus rexes, or T-rex for short. The T-rexes were clearly excited when they saw the gigantosaurus. They looked at him as if he was nothing but prey, similar to the way that the gigantosaurus looked at the ankylosauruses.
Looking at them, Zhou Fan felt that the gigantosaurus would win in a 1v1, but with 5 t-rexes, it stood no chance. Apparently, the gigantosaurus thought so too as it started to slowly back away from the group of t-rexes.
Of course, the t-rexes didn't let it go far before surrounding it. Sensing its entrapment, the gigantosaurus roared into the air and charged towards one of the t-rexes.
ROAR!
Once the gigantosaurus reached the t-rex, it bit at its face. Unfortunately, the t-rex wasn't as helpless as all of its other victims. It fought back without much trouble and seemed fairly equal to the gigantosaurus.
It only had to 1v1 the gigantosaurus for a few seconds before the rest of the t-rexes showed up.
There was no suspense or unexpectedness as the gigantosaurus soon fell. The t-rexes had killed it without sustaining any major injuries.
As they ate at its body, Zhou Fan moved on. The t-rexes were likely the peak predators around the area, so he decided to move on to other areas and see what other existences there were.
After leaving the forest, Zhou Fan soon arrived at a swamp. Two foot deep water covered the ground. It was stinky, moldy, and dirty. Zhou Fan truly couldn't imagine what dinosaurs would choose to live there.
After traveling around the area for a few days, Zhou Fan was surprised to discover that many of the dinosaurs he saw in the forest also existed in the swamp.
The only dinosaurs he didn't see were the brontosauruses and t-rexes. Zhou Fan assumed that the brontosauruses didn't live in the swamp because it didn't fit their habitat, while the t-rexes didn't live in it because there was another apex predator more suited to the environment.
As for what the predator was, Zhou fan looked forward to finding out. After journeying through a fair amount of the swamp, Zhou Fan finally discovered the apex predator.
There was a dinosaur that walked on four legs yet still was 30 feet tall. It had what seemed like a semi-circle fin on its back, however, Zhou Fan could tell that it was actually its spine.
Zhou Fan only took one look before he called it a spinosaurus.
He watched it hunt with efficiency, despite not living in a pack. Even with its size, it moved faster than any land dinosaur Zhou Fan had seen.
Zhou Fan continued to look through the swamp for another day before he left it. Without a doubt, the spinosaurus was the apex predator of that area.
Zhou Fan continued to move around the 10,000 miles surrounding the mountain for many days before he found an incredible environment.
It looked like a mesh of the many terrains he had seen before, and everything was much bigger. There were rocky areas, mountainous areas, swampy areas, plains, forests, redwood tree areas, and many more.
If there was ever a dinosaur haven, this would be it. With the size of the environment, there were sure to be many more dinosaurs and many new species. Perhaps there would even be an apex apex predator.
Zhou Fan traveled around the big area, seeing many more apex predators than before. There were t-rexes and spinosaurus fighting each other, and even a much bigger gigantosaurus than the one he had seen before.
He also saw many new species of dinosaurs, some big and some small. By the time he had combed through half of the area, he had already named enough dinosaurs to fill up a book.
Just as he was crossing through the exit of the redwood area and entering the mountainous/rocky area, Zhou Fan felt the ground tremble beneath his feet. It wasn't fast as if a big animal was running, but slow as if a mountain was taking a step.
Zhou Fan could tell that the source of the sound was behind the mountain that stood in front of him. He quickly climbed up it and reached the peak. The sight he saw over the mountain was something he would never forget.
There was a huge oasis surrounded by mountains. In the distance, Zhou Fan could see a dinosaur as big as a mountain itself. It was hundreds of feet tall and covered with what seemed to be a rocky pattern.
It somewhat resembled a brontosaurus, but was much much bigger. Even a dragon would find it hard to match up to such a giant being in terms of size. With a single glance, Zhou Fan could tell that it was the true king of dinosaurs.
He named it the titanosaurus due to its titanic size. Zhou Fan looked in the rest of the oasis and spotted many different species. He then set off on an adventure to discover every dinosaur species and create a book detailing them.
The entire thing took almost a year before Zhou Fan finished. He had enjoyed it thoroughly.
After he finished, Zhou Fan silently left the dinosaur area and returned to the skies. Since a year had passed, the expansion of the world would be completed in a few days.
Zhou Fan had planned on creating more opportunities, but the dinosaur book had taken up too much time.
He planned to go into seclusion soon, but he first decided to publish his book in one of the celestial libraries.
He arrived in the celestial lands quickly, where he published the book of dinosaurs and where to find them under the name That_Dinosaur_guy.
He didn't sit around and wait for the results and instead started to look around the new and improved central city.
After about a year, the city had been repaired and improved to a much better state than before.
Chapter 101: Breakthrough - 101
The first place Zhou Fan looked was the place that he had battled with Anna and the dragon king. Not a single thing had changed and the battle had even become what seemed like a tourist attraction.
Many people, old and young, stared at the battlefield and tried to comprehend something.
The next place Zhou Fan looked at was the city walls. They were now many times stronger than before and even contained a formation that would both defend the city and increase the strength of someone using it.
The other place Zhou Fan looked was the towers that once signified the soul formation cultivators in the central city. He could tell that they had torn down five of them and replaced them with ten others. The ten other towers clearly belonged to the soul formation cultivators that were called back from the battlefield.
As for the rest of the city, everything looked about the same but with minor improvements.
Zhou Fan looked at the tallest tower and sensed Anna's presence. Her strength had grown a bit in the time he was gone, but it was nothing crazy.
After checking out the city, Zhou Fan teleported back to the floating palace above the now abandoned floating palace city.
Nothing had changed in the year he was gone and Zhou Fan sat down where he had previously and started cultivating.
As he started to cultivate, he noticed that his speed was faster than before. Despite the fact that he had broken through to the second level of lesser dao creation and it should take longer to advance to the third level, he sensed that it would only take ten thousand years. the same amount of time it took to break through to the second level.
Zhou Fan became interested in the change and looked around the Zhou World using the Dao. He was instantly able to discover that the increase was caused by the increased strength of the Zhou World and its inhabitants.
The increase was minor, but it still astonished Zhou Fan. Perhaps he would be able to increase his own cultivation speed by increasing the strength of the Zhou World?
Zhou Fan found himself excited at the very idea. That meant that the Zhou World would no longer be a fun toy, but a tool to increase his strength.
With a closer look, Zhou Fan discovered that the very existence of the Zhou World was tied to its inhabitants. Everything born on it would instantly die if it was destroyed, and if every living being born from it died, then it would die.
That being said, Zhou Fan technically counted as a living being, so it would likely never die. Of course, that didn't mean Zhou Fan would die if the world was destroyed. Zhou Fan was too powerful for that.
After making the realization, Zhou Fan decided to attempt to make the world even stronger the next time he came out of seclusion.
With that, Zhou Fan fell into deep seclusion and didn't stop for a long time.
------------------
10,000 years later, Zhou Fan stopped cultivating. Like last time, he stretched a bit, although unnecessary, and started to walk towards the exit.
He had managed to break into the 3rd level of lesser dao creation in his seclusion and his strength had increased greatly. Nothing new had happened to him or his cultivation besides breaking through, however.
He teleported right outside the door after making sure that he was invisible. However, he soon realized that that had been unnecessary.
Below the floating palace was an endless sea of trees. The only place without trees was a path leading to the stairs that lead to the floating palace. The path was quite a beautiful path with pink trees known as cherry blossoms lining it.
After seeing no one nearby, Zhou Fan turned off his invisibility and started to walk along the path. Zhou Fan walked for 20 minutes before he arrived at a small town.
It was only a square mile and Zhou Fan could see every inch with a glance. Zhou Fan felt surprised when he looked due to the beings living there.
Instead of celestials, there were many humanoid beasts living in the town. Some only had minor differences from humans like a fox tail while some had fur covering every inch of their bodies.
What surprised Zhou Fan was not the fact that there were beasts, but that they resembled humans rather than celestials.
Zhou Fan even saw a man whose only difference from a human was some fur on the back of his hand. Zhou Fans quickly got over the surprise and started to examine them.
From their organs, there was no doubt that they were beasts, but they weren't transformed beasts. Instead, they were more like hybrids of celestials and beasts.
Zhou Fan didn't even want to think about how that started.
Zhou Fan was interested in the town, but first decided to look at the state of the world after he broke through.
As expected, the Zhou World was preparing for another major expansion. After this one, the world would increase in size by more than 4 times.
Its size was already starting to exceed many things within the universe, but wasn't even near the level of the biggest.
The Qi in the Zhou world was also starting to increase greatly with his breakthrough. Soon, everything's cultivation speed would be faster.
After checking out the state of the world, Zhou Fan turned his attention back to the humanoid beasts.
Instead of calling them humanoid beasts, Zhou Fan chose to call them beastmen. After deciding to explore the village, Zhou Fan didn't even change his form. He started to walk in exactly as he was. Simply Zhou Fan.
It was a great feeling that one wouldn't understand had they not had to change their very looks for a long period of time.
There were no gates nor guards and Zhou Fan freely walked into the village without even getting noticed.
