Chapter 2801 - 2804: Magic Sea Beast Emperor, Rapid Breakthrough

So far, Ling Xiao has only obtained a little over ten Magic Crystal Stones.

This speed definitely doesn’t match up to the thirty-plus people.

After all, they are familiar with the layout here and know where the Magic Sea Giant Beasts are more numerous.

The reason the Devil Sea Secret Realm opens periodically is because the Magic Sea Giant Beasts regenerate after some time.

Everything originates from that mysterious anomaly.

It created these Magic Sea Giant Beasts.

And it also created the Devil Sea Secret Realm.

The most interesting thing is that every time the Magic Sea Giant Beasts regenerate, their range of activity is about the same.

This is even more advantageous for Yun Lan and those guys.

Therefore, Ling Xiao believes his initial plundering plan was absolutely correct; without doing that, he couldn’t possibly compete against thirty-something people alone.

Too unrealistic.

Ling Xiao shook his head and continued forward with Xiao Jin, as there’s plenty of time left.

The trial of the Devil Sea Secret Realm is set for three days.

And only a few hours have passed so far.

Ling Xiao is not anxious about plundering; for now, he plans to steadily raise Xiao Jin’s strength to roughly his level first.

That way, even if they encounter a powerful Magic Sea Beast King, they can handle it with ease.

About an hour later, Ling Xiao noticed changes in the surrounding environment.

The temperature of the magma had become hotter than before.

Under this scorching heat, regular Martial Artists can’t survive, and even those with Yin-Yang Realm Cultivation would find it unbearably uncomfortable.

Ling Xiao activated the Volcanic Battle Body, making himself somewhat more comfortable.

Moreover, the Volcanic Battle Body seems to be slowly improving under this intense heat.

The initial Volcanic Battle Body already rivals Immortal Grade Triple Heaven Martial Technique, so what happens after further improvement?

Ling Xiao is quite looking forward to it.

As for Xiao Jin, there’s no need to worry; Xiao Jin is inherently a combination of Devouring Demon Fetus and Golden Crow.

It can absorb heat to level up.

Such high temperatures are not harmful to it at all, but instead can improve its strength.

"Boss, it looks like the mutated Magic Sea Giant Beast Chen Buyi mentioned, we’ve finally found it!"

About a hundred meters ahead, a fierce-looking Magic Sea Giant Beast was absorbing thermal energy from the air.

Ling Xiao could confirm that it was indeed a One-star Eleventh Layer Hell Peak-level mutated Magic Sea Giant Beast.

"Go!"

Ling Xiao called out, splitting up with Xiao Jin, charging at the mutated Magic Sea Giant Beast.

Poor mutated Magic Sea Giant Beast, though quite strong, unfortunately met these two monsters.

Ling Xiao, needless to say, could defeat even Martial Artists with First Turn Yinyang Realm Twelfth Layer Hell Early Stage Cultivation.

Xiao Jin can also battle across ranks, easily hurting opponents at the Eleventh Layer Hell Peak with the Nine Netherworlds Yellow Springs Golden Light.

Under their combined attack, the mutated Magic Sea Giant Beast was easily killed.

After the mutated Magic Sea Giant Beast died, it indeed left two Magic Crystal Stones and a stronger Demon Beast Crystal Core.

Xiao Jin happily swallowed the Demon Beast Crystal Core, exclaiming, "Boss, we guessed right. By consuming these level’s Demon Beast Crystal Core, I only need five to advance to the Eleventh Layer Hell Peak!"

"Great, let’s hurry up and get to work!"

One man, one beast started another round of frenzied hunting.

Soon, Xiao Jin’s strength broke through again, reaching the First Rotation of Yin and Yang Realm, Eleventh Layer of Hell Peak.

Moreover, the key is that this breakthrough does not have any side effects, which is truly enviable.

"Damn, I worked hard for so long to break through to this realm; you reached it so easily, it’s really enviable."

Stopping the hunt, Ling Xiao and Xiao Jin rested in a secluded spot, Ling Xiao spoke with some feeling.

"Otherwise, boss, shall we switch places?"

Xiao Jin jokingly said.

"Better not."

Ling Xiao shook his head.

Although Xiao Jin’s current form makes strengthening easier, it still requires luck without places like the Devil Sea Secret Realm, it’s quite troublesome.

Besides, keeping someone in a continuously beast-like form is truly hard.

This is what they call gains are born of losses.

Ling Xiao would rather cultivate slower than change into Xiao Jin’s form.

Moreover, his cultivation speed is actually quite fast.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, just at that moment, a terrifying roar came from ahead.

Ling Xiao hurriedly stood up, using the Tai Chi Eye to look ahead, revealing a glimmer of a smile.

"Xiao Jin, tastier prey is here, the Magic Sea Beast King, and not just one!"

Perhaps their thriving hunt got them too close to the core of the Devil Sea Secret Realm, alarming the Magic Sea Beast King.

Hundreds of Magic Sea Beast Kings were charging towards them.

"What do we do, boss? Encountering so many Magic Sea Beast Kings at once, even you and I would find it very troublesome, wouldn’t we?"

Xiao Jin asked anxiously.

"Don’t worry, do you notice anything special about the terrain here?"

Ling Xiao chuckled.

"It’s narrow!"

Xiao Jin suddenly realized.

Though this path is not too narrow, it can certainly accommodate four to five people walking side by side.

But the size of the Magic Sea Beast King is too large, allowing at most one at a time to pass through.

Thus, as long as Ling Xiao and Xiao Jin hold the pathway, they can take down these hundreds of Magic Sea Beast Kings one by one.

"Xiao Jin, you hold the line, I’ll set up the array, can’t expend too much energy, as we’ll need to plunder later."

Ling Xiao called out, taking out array materials, beginning to set up the array along the narrow path.

Xiao Jin already rushed up, guarding the narrowest part of the path, fighting with the Magic Sea Beast King.

Though Xiao Jin is only at the First Rotation of Yin and Yang Realm, Eleventh Layer of Hell’s Peak, and the Magic Sea Beast King is already the Twelfth Layer Hell early stage.

Xiao Jin remains undaunted.

Especially the terrifying Nine Netherworlds Yellow Springs Golden Light, which almost guarantees that any hit on the Magic Sea Beast King would injure it.

At this rate, Xiao Jin has an estimated eighty percent chance of winning.

But it’s really too tough.

That’s why Ling Xiao needed to set up the array.

Here, the best arrays are the Ten Thousand Beasts Blood Refining Array and the Minor Ten Thousand Thunder Slaying Immortal Formation.

Ling Xiao does not yet have the capability to set up the real Ten Thousand Thunder Exorcism Array, but the Minor Ten Thousand Thunder Slaying Immortal Formation’s effect is also pretty good.

"Xiao Jin, you can step aside now!"

Ling Xiao shouted, and Xiao Jin moved aside.

The leading, heavily injured Magic Sea Beast King surged in.

Boom!

Terrifying thunder appeared out of nowhere, and the Magic Sea Beast King collapsed to the ground.

Then the Ten Thousand Beasts Blood Refining Array activated.

The energy within the Magic Sea Beast King was absorbed by the array directly into Ling Xiao’s body.

Ling Xiao stepped forward, struck with his sword.

Poor Magic Sea Beast King was incredibly strong, but was hurt by the array, Ling Xiao killed it with a powerful sword technique effortlessly.

"This is indeed an effective way to improve cultivation levels while upgrading martial techniques."

Ling Xiao felt delighted.
