Chapter 919: Purple Ghost Fire Lotus
In a vast demon sea, five figures appeared. In front of them, a massive and vicious sea beast was relentless. As its enormous body continued to turn and twist, a monstrous wave was set off. The wave launched water swords that rushed to the five people standing atop the demon sea.
In this endless demon sea, dense demon auras were boiling frantically.
“Tsk, the human powerhouses’ flesh and blood are the best!” The massive demonic sea beasts said. His laughter was wild.
Before he could continue to attack, Ye Xiwen had already made a move. A fiery long saber grew larger and larger in the sky. Until the end, it slashed downward with an uncontested momentum. The wheezing slash was deafening. The boundless demon aura was cut in half instantly.
“Puff!“
The intimidating and massive demonic sea beast was so vulnerable. It couldn’t withstand a single blow from Ye Xiwen. It was directly beheaded in half with blood spurted out. The massive body broke into two halves and fell directly from the sky into the sea, setting off another monstrous wave.
The massive demonic sea beast was at Transcendent Realm Fifth level, which was nothing to a true expert.
However, it didn’t recognize the disparity in strength and coveted this team’s idea. Ye Xiwen slashed it in half with a saber.
Ye Xiwen opened his palm. A blood-dyed ray came out of Ye Xiwen’s palm. Ye Xiwen absorbed all flesh and blood in that massive demonic sea beast into Tianyuan Mirror instantly. Only the skin remained. Ye Xiwen immediately grabbed the Neidan [1].
Ye Xiwen swallowed it directly into his body!
The demonic sea beast’s vigor and blood essence were all absorbed by Tianyuan Mirror, which then transformed into pure energy and instilled into Ye Xiwen’s body.
Ye Xiwen felt his cultivation grew a bit stronger. Insuppresible elation was revealed on his face. Such harvest was only plausible in Chaos Demon Sea. After all, all the creatures in Chaos Demon Sea, including the sea clans and demonic sea beasts, had half of the demon bloodline. They could be regarded as half a demon clan, so Ye Xiwen could absorb the flesh and blood’s essence to enhance his energy.
After only a few days in Chaos Demon Sea, his cultivation had greatly improved. He had progressed a lot from Transcendent Realm Third Level Initial. At this rate, he would reach Transcendent Realm Third Level Peak in a month. With that, it opened the opportunity for him to attain Transcendent Realm Fourth Level.
His foresight told him that after reaching Transcendent Realm Fourth Level, his combat power would be comparable to Transcendent Realm Seventh Level. It would be a significant increment.
The rest of the team was used to it. In the past few days, everyone had become accustomed to what they had witnessed. For everyone, even if it was only Transcendent Realm Fifth level, it was still a demonic sea beast after all. With its massive body size, it had become a formidable opponent, which the average Transcendent Realm Sixth Level expert struggled to deal with. Although any team members could slay this demonic sea beast, it would never be as simple and easy as Ye Xiwen.
Ye Xiwen defeated the demonic sea beasts with merely one slash, ultimately catching the demonic sea beast off guard. It had no way to resist.
They didn’t know that Ye Xiwen possessed the Tianyuan Mirror and extraordinary ability to restrain the demon race bloodline. Even if the demon race was stronger than Ye Xiwen, Ye Xiwen could completely restrain them with Tianyuan Mirror.
This was the fundamental reason why Ye Xiwen frequently hunted after he came to Chaos Demon Sea. The Vanishing Shadow Poisonous Crocodile Clan would never let him off easily. He was required to improve his strength continually. Absorbing the demonic sea beasts’ blood essence was undoubtedly the most effective way to do so.
Therefore, Ye Xiwen chose to kill more powerful demonic sea beasts and absorb their vigor and blood essence so that his cultivation could quickly advance into Transcendent Realm Third Level Peak.
Ye Xiwen occupied the vigor and blood essence of the demonic sea beast alone, including the Neidan. Yet, the others had nothing to say. Ye Xiwen did not lay his hand on the martial art instruments and spirit crystals on the sea demon clan experts. He left all these items to them.
Of course, Bai Hanmo and Yao Qian didn’t mind. For Xiong Zhicheng and Yu Sisi of the Bear Team, they were satisfied with the distributions. Although these demonic sea beasts were powerful, their flesh and blood were not useful. It was all due to their demon clan bloodline. The average person couldn’t ingest them directly at all. Otherwise, they would be prone to Qi Deviation. The Neidan’s effect was limited. Therefore, the loot distribution was the most optimum for them.
In general, everyone got what they needed.
With professional demon hunters like Xiong Zhicheng and Yu Sisi, Ye Xiwen and others took lesser detours. They even avoided sea clan experts’ ambushes several times. They all evacuated first because Xiong Zhicheng and Yu Sisi had discovered the encirclement early. Otherwise, it would be another challenging and bloody battle.
But even so, the team was still going through various battles frequently every day due to Chaos Demon Sea’s chaotic situation. After gaining battle experiences, there was a significant improvement for the entire team.
Yao Qian made rapid progress. While fighting and comprehending her martial art technique, she absorbed the energy in the previously ingested pellets. Her cultivation increased rapidly. At this rate, she could reach the Transcendent Realm Seventh Level before the Top 100 Competition. In that case, she would be in the lead among the younger generation of experts. Her placement in the Top 20 was almost guaranteed.
Bai Hanmo’s progress was outstanding too. His talent was robust already. After years of training and accumulation, what he lacked was battle experiences. In the battle, his accumulation throughout the years hard turned fruitful. It rapidly turned into growth in cultivation.
Therefore, the trio’s gains were basically at cultivation growth. For Xiong Zhicheng and Yu Sisi, their gains were mostly martial art instruments. Both parties got what they wanted in this cooperation. Everyone was satisfied.
It was a gluttonous feast for Ye Xiwen!
Time went by in this manner. Three months had passed. During the three months, Ye Xiwen, Yao Qian, and others wandered in the Chaos Demon Sea’s outer area, almost at the edge. They dared not dive deeper into the place. They said that the demonic sea beast clans’ higher-ups gathered in the depths of Chaos Demon Sea. That place was well recognized as a gathering place for many Law Manifestation experts who had surpassed the Transcendent Realm.
Although Ye Xiwen wanted to improve quickly, he was not an idiot who was ignorant of his limits.
But, even if it was only in the outer area, it was still dangerous. They even encountered a terrifying Transcendent Realm Nine Levels demonic sea beast lurking in the outer area. At that time, it was hunting for food. Although there was a far distance, everyone felt this horrifying monster’s existence and did not approach it.
In addition to the Transcendent Realm Ninth Level demonic sea beast, Ye Xiwen, and others also encountered the existence at Transcendent Realm Eighth Level several times. These formidable opponents included demonic sea beast clans and sea demon clans. The situation was thrilling.
But fortunately, the experienced Xiong Zhicheng was with the team. So every time at the moment they were about to be discovered, everyone escaped in time.
On this day, in an underground oceanic trench, a dark and translucent lotus flower bloomed.
“Is this Purple Ghost Fire Lotus?” It was Yu Sisi’s exclamation. Astonishment flashed in her eyes.
“What is Purple Ghost Fire Lotus?” Bai Hanmo asked.
“This is a rare natural treasure. It has a purple color and is translucent. For the sea demon clan, it is a tonic supplement. The Transcendent Realm sea demon clans would raise their level by one if they were to ingest it. Any flower boom of its kind is rare. Countless sea demon clan experts and even demonic sea beasts will fight for it. Every time it appears, there will be a bloodbath. Throughout the lotus flower encounters recorded in Chaos Demon Sea, each harvest is accompanied with the death of many sea demonic clan experts and demonic sea beasts!” Xiong Zhicheng explained dutifully. “It’s a pity that Purple Ghost Fire Lotus is a lethal poison for humans, unlike its tonic property to the sea demon clans and demonic sea beats. The Purple Ghost Fire Lotus can only bloom under dense demon auras. With that, there is a lot of demon aura in it. If a human swallows it directly, it will collapse the qi and Dantian in the body!”
Everyone felt the flower was quite precious with its excellent property to advance their cultivation by one level. However, after learning that the treasure was only for the sea demon clan, everyone was naturally less interested than they initially were. After all, there would be a terrible ramification for the human race.
“Ye Xiwen, get your hands on that Purple Ghost Fire Lotus quickly!” Ye Mo’s voice abruptly appeared in Ye Xiwen’s ear.
“Have you ascended successfully?” Ye Xiwen asked in surprise.
“Nope, I was startled by the aura emitted from the Purple Ghost Fire Lotus!” Ye Mo continued, “I’m quite sensitive to the demon aura!”
“You mean. We can assimilate it with the Tianyuan Mirror!?” Ye Xiwen had a great tacit understanding with Ye Mo after all these years. He instantly understood Ye Mo’s intention. Although there was no way for ordinary humans to absorb it, it was a completely different case for Ye Xiwen, who owned the Tianyuan Mirror.
But just when Ye Xiwen was about to ask for this Purple Ghost Fire Lotus, which no one was interested in, a burst of frantic laughter came from not far away.
“Hahaha, I didn’t expect to discover the Purple Ghost Fire Lotus by just tailing a few humans!”
