Chapter 244: The Million Beast Wall! Human Cultivators Join the Battle! Strength Increases Tenfold!
The Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile crashed heavily onto the ground below, creating a massive crater. Despite this, the Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile was exceedingly excited.
It felt its internal power continuously expanding, with immense spiritual energy from heaven and earth converging and being absorbed into its body.
At the same time, the aura of the Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile was steadily increasing.
Soon, the aura of the Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile reached its peak.
Then……
Boom!!!!!!!
The aura suddenly skyrocketed.
Ninth-Order Beast!
A vast amount of spiritual energy was absorbed by the Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile, repairing its damaged body.
The originally colossal body gradually shrank.
This shrinking wasn’t to make it weaker but to concentrate its power.
Of course, if it wished, it could expand its body to a colossal size of a hundred thousand fathoms, obscuring the sky.
However, such a large form was only for show and intimidation, serving no other practical purpose.
In the distance.
Qin Wang carefully sensed the drop of soul blood from the Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile in his sea of consciousness and nodded to himself.
Due to the influence of the heavenly laws, the soul blood of the Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile had also gradually turned golden, with a faint glow emanating.
The soul blood of the Spirit Transformation Stage was far stronger than that of the Nascent Soul Stage.
At this moment, Qin Wang finally understood why Wu Su could easily suppress those Nascent Soul cultivators with just a Spirit Transformation Stage soul.
The quality of the Spirit Transformation Stage soul was so high that it was almost indistinguishable from the true physical body, or rather, the only difference was that the soul could not cultivate.
Perhaps, there might be techniques to cultivate the soul?
Qin Wang didn’t dwell on it.
Anyway, now that the Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile had advanced to a Ninth-Order Beast, the next plan could commence.
Zhang Fujiang and the others saw the smile at the corner of Qin Wang's mouth and immediately understood that the Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile had successfully advanced.
“Congratulations, Master. The beast pet has successfully advanced to a Ninth-Order Beast and can rival a Spirit Transformation True Monarch.”
The three spoke in unison.
“Next, it’s time to reap the rewards. Anyone daring to covet the Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile will have to face my wrath.”
Qin Wang spoke slowly.
Although his tone was calm, as if casually stating a fact, Zhang Fujiang and the others couldn’t help but shiver.
They exchanged glances and felt that the South Region was about to undergo a drastic change.
Previously, over a dozen Nascent Soul experts from the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty had been wiped out, and now, if the thirteen Nascent Soul experts were eliminated, it would mean that more than half of the Nascent Soul experts in the South Region would be gone.
It would be difficult for the South Region to remain stable.
At this moment.
The thirteen Nascent Soul experts could no longer contain their greed.
“The Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile has just undergone the lightning tribulation and is at its most vulnerable. We must seize this opportunity to kill this beast and restore peace to the world!”
One Nascent Soul expert said solemnly.
“That’s right! Act quickly to avoid letting it escape.”
“Hurry, hurry, hurry.”
“If we all attack together, we can surely kill this beast.”
The others nodded in agreement.
At this moment, one Nascent Soul expert had some reservations.
“Should we… reconsider? I have a feeling of unease. Could there be a Demon King nearby spying on us?”
As soon as this Nascent Soul expert finished speaking, he was immediately rebutted by those around him.
“Impossible, absolutely impossible! This is the rule between humans and beasts for thousands of years. Within a day after passing the lightning tribulation, neither Spirit Transformation True Monarchs nor Ninth-Order Demon Kings are allowed to interfere. If a new Demon King survives, it becomes a new Demon King. If it doesn’t, other Demon Kings are not allowed to seek revenge afterward.”
“That’s right, this rule must be followed. Unless they want to start a war between humans and beasts.”
“Don’t worry, everything will be fine.”
The other Nascent Soul experts comforted him.
The cautious Nascent Soul expert hesitated for a moment and then shook his head.
“In that case, I wish all of you good fortune.”
With that, he turned and flew away.
Thus, only twelve Nascent Soul experts remained.
“Hmph, it’s fine if he left. It just means less division of spoils.”
Yan Changsong from the Yan family of the Dayan Immortal Dynasty spoke directly.
“Forget it, everyone has their own aspirations. Let him go.”
“We have twelve people, and that’s enough.”
“Let’s go, let’s start hunting the new Demon King.”
The group of twelve soared into the sky and flew towards the Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile.
Just as they were halfway there, they were immediately blocked by the outer layer of beasts.
A million beasts had gathered here to protect their new king. Only by offering help in times of crisis could their loyalty be demonstrated. The beasts were well aware of this.
“Roar!”
“Moo!”
“Hiss!”
“Yip!”
Countless beasts roared and bellowed.
Even in the face of Nascent Soul experts, they would build a wall with their lives to protect their king.
“Noise.”
The twelve Nascent Soul experts didn’t hold back at all and immediately unleashed their attacks.
In an instant, lightning flashed, flames soared, and countless explosions shattered the copper wall and iron rampart formed by the beasts.
Even so, the beasts did not retreat. They continued to surge forward, attacking the twelve Nascent Soul experts.
After a while, the twelve Nascent Soul experts realized that this method was not working.
After all, with a million beasts, even if they stood still and let them kill, it would take a massive amount of time.
Every minute delayed allowed the Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile to recover a bit more.
Yan Changsong had an idea.
“Attention, human cultivators! Attack immediately! Our Dayan Immortal Dynasty will buy all beast bodies at ten times the market price!”
Yan Changsong’s voice echoed far and wide.
Other Nascent Soul experts quickly responded.
“Our Great Qi Immortal Dynasty will buy all beast bodies at ten times the market price!”
“Our Dayan Lu family will buy at ten times the market price!”
“Our Dayan Wang family…”
Many Nascent Soul experts began shouting.
The previously indecisive human cultivators immediately became excited.
Ten times the market price!
This was a huge profit!
With a million beasts here, just picking up a few would be equivalent to a year’s worth of hard work.
If they selected valuable materials, wouldn’t they…
People immediately waved their magic treasures and rushed over.
Although most were only Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators, with occasional Golden Core cultivators among them.
However!
Their number was simply overwhelming.
Altogether, there were at least a hundred thousand cultivators.
A hundred thousand cultivators were quite a problem for a million beasts.
What was even more troublesome was that the twelve Nascent Soul experts could kill the beasts as easily as crushing ants.
Soon, the twelve Nascent Soul experts finally broke through the encirclement and reached the Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile.
At this moment, the Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile’s body had shrunk to only a thousand fathoms in size.
Although its body had shrunk, its weight and strength had not diminished at all.
This meant its attack power had increased tenfold.
Because its strength was more concentrated!
However, the twelve Nascent Soul experts did not understand this principle.
In their view, the shrinking of the Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile’s body was a sign of weakness!
This was the perfect opportunity to kill the Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile!
