Chapter 130: Chapter 97: The Strange Movements of the Demon-Refining Pot! New Rune!_2
Nurtured by his massive amount of essence blood and divine power, it was gradually transforming into a spiritual artifact and could already be considered a half-spiritual artifact.
A faint spiritual consciousness was slowly awakening within the Divine Axe, filling him with anticipation.
Having tested the runes, Lu Li felt extremely delighted.
In the future, as long as he had a large quantity of Five Elements Ore, the Divine Weapon could be infinitely enhanced, all the way until ascension…
“It seems that I will have to subdue more Sea Floor Demon Beasts in the future. Mining must continue; the current efficiency is too low. It’s also time to sort out that group of lazy wretches.”
“In the future, I also need to find a large amount of second and third-tier spiritual ore. All these plans have to be scheduled, including the Heavenly Tribulation of the Iron Pillar’s Dragon Transformation…”
He mulled over this in his mind.
He just needed to wait until after the Foundation Establishment grand ceremony before he could step by step implement his plan.
Lu Li put away the Demon Refining Pot and walked out of the cave.
Upon reaching the outside, he soared into the sky and quickly tunneled towards the west of Mystic Moon Island.
“Ssss…”
A blue tunneling light skimmed over the surface of the sea like lightning, leaving behind a long trace as the endless sea mist tumbled through the void.
Less than half a year remained until the Foundation Establishment grand ceremony, and he prepared to explore the sea area around Mystic Moon Island.
He wanted to see if he could slay one or two Foundation Establishment Demon Beasts casually and test if there were any changes when the Demon Refining Pot refined spiritual liquid.
Now that his Divine Body had transformed, he no longer felt like he was walking on thin ice as in the past.
The peak strength of Foundation Establishment was not considered weak anywhere across the entire Outer Sea.
He gently spurred his Divine Skills, tunneling towards the northwest. Each flicker covered four li, which was extremely terrifying.
In the void, endless Star Power and various Spiritual Energies poured into his body, replenishing his own consumption…
“Indeed, the Spirit Monkey ancestor was right; having an Innate Divine Body is just the starting point for the path of the mighty. Things are now greatly different.”
Lu Li plunged into the bottom of the sea, tunneling freely through the water, sniffing the familiar scent, feeling extremely exhilarated in his heart.
Mystic Moon Island was located at the southwestern edge of the vast Dragon Sea’s Outer Sea.
Thousands of li to the south was the Sea of Ruins; the Spiritual Energy was incredibly chaotic, and there were some unknown forbidden lands.
Tens of thousands of li to the north was the direction of the Inner Sea. Separated by a vast chaotic sea area, both sea floor and sky Demon Beasts roamed freely, and it was not a place where non-strong beings could easily cross.
To the west laid the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons, where countless Sea Floor Demon Beasts resided, even the islands were occupied. Some human beings and numerous other races were even farmed and consumed; it was like a hell on earth.
In this realm, there were many species, not even the Human Clan was the most powerful. Besides, they were divided into several factions such as righteous and demonic. Except for the risk of extermination, it was difficult to concentrate forces.
Several days later, at the edge of the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons,
Deep within an oceanic trench,
A blue tunneling light, swift as lightning, burst through the coral groups, revealing a very handsome young man.
It was Lu Li, who had wandered his way here.
Since leaving Mystic Moon Island, he had been exploring westwards, covering tens of thousands of li.
After crossing a large territory of Qi Refining Demon Beasts, he gradually reached this ocean trench.
Here, Lu Li sensed a trace of Foundation Establishment Demon Beast’s aura, which was very thick.
“It seems this place marks the division between Qi Refining Demon Beasts and Foundation Establishment Demon Beasts.”
As the outskirts of the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons, it was not too likely for Purple Mansion Demon Beasts to appear here.
Lu Li passed through a large reef tunnel and slowly swam forward.
The trench ahead was dozens of li wide, its length immeasurable, and it was occupied by numerous Qi Refining Demon Beasts.
These Demon Beasts resembled apes, with pitch-black bodies, belonging to a Water Ape Species.
The trace of Foundation Establishment Demon Beast’s aura was precisely coming from deep within the trench.
The leader of this group of Water Ape Species was a Foundation Establishment Demon Beast.
He tunneled rapidly towards the front. At that moment, a group of Demon Beasts also detected the anomaly and began to swim out of their caves, swarming towards Lu Li.
Lu Li paid no attention to these low-level Demon Beasts. His aura suddenly burst forth, pressing towards the crowd of demonic creatures. His overwhelmingly formidable presence intimidated everyone present, causing the Water Apes to tremble and display faces filled with fear.
In no time, a Water Ape, tens of zhang tall, rushed out from the deep trench. Its body surged with Demon Energy, and its presence was quite extraordinary.
It shot through the crowd like a thunderbolt and stopped not far from Lu Li.
“What business does a strong Human Clan cultivator have in our territory?”
The Demon Ape sensed Lu Li’s incredibly strong aura, causing it to tremble with fear, and it couldn’t help but speak in a weak voice.
That kind of aura, it had only encountered in the deeper reaches of the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons.
Lu Li saw the Demon Ape actually speaking human language, using the common tongue of the Dragon Descent Sea, and couldn’t help but feel somewhat surprised.
He stood with his hands behind his back, his expression nonchalant, “I came to borrow something from you today?”
“What is it? Spirit Plants and spiritual ore? As long as my clan has it, we can discuss it.”
The Demon Ape was humble in its demeanor, knowing that to show bravado when weak was to court death. Over the centuries, its wisdom had become quite profound.
Had a weaker one approached, it would have been attacked and eaten by now, for Human Clan Cultivators are quite delicious.
“I need to borrow your body!”
Lu Li’s face remained calm as he took out a Divine Weapon and activated his Innate Divine Ability, slashing fiercely ahead.
The aura was extremely powerful, causing the surrounding waters to churn wildly. An axe light manifested from the depths, instantly striking towards the old Demon Ape ancestor, as if heralding the beginning of the universe.
Sensing such an overwhelming aura, a group of low-level Demon Apes looked terrified, shivering in place. If it weren’t for their Clan Leader’s presence, they would have already scattered in all directions.
“Roar…”
A sense of impending death enveloped it, and the Water Ape Clan Leader let out an angry roar, pulling out a black iron rod and smashing it hard towards the giant axe ahead.
Billowing Demon Energy rose to the sky, stirring the surrounding waters and rocks into chaos.
In this life and death crisis, it used all its strength for this attack; the aura emitted by the other party filled it with dread.
“Boom…”
A loud noise reverberated across the seabed. The black iron rod was cleaved in two by the Divine Axe, which continued on its trajectory, relentlessly slashing towards the giant ape.
“Ss…”
Before the giant ape could react, a huge head soared into the sky, the corners of its eyes filled with fear and unwillingness. Then, its entire body collapsed with a thunderous fall, dying the surrounding waters a deep crimson.
“Ah…”
Seeing this, a group of Water Apes around scattered in fear, disappearing quickly near this reef.
Lu Li paid no heed to these Little Demons, directly collecting the corpse of the Foundation Establishment Demon Beast into his Demon Refining Pot.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a sudden change occurred.
A mighty and unmatched aura swept over from the northwest.
The surrounding waters roiled wildly, creating thousands of giant waves.
Lu Li felt a sudden tightness in his body, finding it difficult even to breathe.
“Golden Core Venerable?”
His face filled with horror, he then poured Divine Power into his eyes, turning his head to look in the direction of the northwest sea. The scene he witnessed next would remain with him for a lifetime.
He saw a stunningly beautiful woman standing in the void some thirty miles to the northwest, her presence overwhelming.
She was dressed in a white robe as pure as snow with hair that hung down to her waist. Her elegant eyes glinted with authority, bearing the demeanor of one accustomed to high status.
In terms of both appearance and temperament, she was a rare sight in Li Lu’s life, far surpassing even the Saintess of the Flowers Sect whom he had met before.
At that moment, the woman’s brows were slightly furrowed as she stared coldly ahead at the array inside.
She commanded a golden Flying Sword, slashing fiercely at the array with Sword Qi that was sharp enough to seemingly tear through the void.
Beside the woman in white, there stood four purple-robed women with lesser appearances and auras. Each held a command flag, with streams of light rapidly flowing from them.
“Boom, boom…”
Inside the array ahead, a mutant giant viper was relentlessly striking, causing thunderous roars. The Array Light Screen flickered unsteadily under its impact.
The giant viper was dozens of zhang long, its scales glinting with a dark green light, and its presence was terrifying. Endless Demon Energy soared to the sky; had it not been for the array barricade, the surrounding areas for tens of miles would likely be tainted by Demon Energy.
The four purple-robed women around were sweating profusely, their faces conveying grave concern.
“A Golden Core Venerable and four Purple Mansion True Ones surrounding and attacking a Dragon Seed?”
Sensing the cultivation and aura of the group, Lu Li’s expression grew stern.
He quickly activated his tunneling technique, turning to escape toward the rear. After a few flashes, he disappeared from the nearby sea area.
To foolishly watch a battle between powerhouses was simply courting death; his only thought was to flee as far as possible.
A blue tunneling light moved swiftly among the sea floor reefs, traveling like water, as fast as lightning, and in no time, he had traversed several hundred miles.
He finally stopped in a deep trench on the sea floor, taking a slow, deep breath.
As Lu Li made his escape, Liu Luoxin seemed to sense something and turned her head to sweep the seabed, but she didn’t pay much attention to it.
It had taken her immense effort to trap this Dragon Seed in the void array; her only desire was to kill it quickly.
If it weren’t for the fact that it was weakened and lacked the sea for support, even she would have to avoid its sharp edge.
After all, a Dragon Seed in the Golden Core Stage was indeed tremendous.
What do you think?
