Bang!
A group of demon beasts that were transformed from small demon kings shot up into the sky from the sea, and they fell back into the water and created huge waves as high as dozens of meters.
Each of these demon beasts was about 1,000 meters long, making Hao Ren who stood on the golden boat which was about 90 meters long look like a small insect.
However, the power of the heavenly lightning bolts opened their hard skin and struck their demon souls.
When these demon beasts fell into the sea, it looked as if more than ten small mountains crashed into the ocean, surging up high waves.
The level 10 demon beasts hidden under the sea were elated when the broken-off heavenly lightning bolts struck them.
These level 10 demon beasts had reached the top realm and would face the Heavenly Tribulation any minute. However, due to a large number of level 10 demon beasts in the Demon Sea, they must wait for their turns since the lightning energy had to be replenished.
The cultivators on land usually didn’t fly in storms for fear of triggering heavenly lightning bolts. However, the demon beasts in the Demon Sea were eager to receive heavenly lightning bolts. Even the smaller lightning bolts that wouldn’t transform them were welcomed. These smaller lightning bolts could get them used to lightning bolts and prepare them for Heavenly Tribulations.
After the successful transformation, they would become small demon kings and got out of the demon beast forms. They could scare off level 10 demon beasts and venture deeper into the inner area to get enlisted by big demon kings. Also, they could occupy a small area in the outer sea to establish a small force.
Crack! A bolt of purple lightning exploded in a white flash on the sea.
About a dozen level 10 demon beasts close to the center were struck by the sufficient but not fierce lightning energy, and they began to emit demonic light, the first sign of transformation.
Snap! The demon beasts which were transformed by small demon kings fell in the sea and launched their demonic aura, hacking the nearby demon beasts into two halves including nine level 10 demon beasts which were about to transform.
The surging ocean was turned into a sea of blood instantly.
The small demon kings that were struck down by the heavenly lightning bolts wouldn’t allow the level 10 demon beasts to take their advantage and reach the Transformation Realm so easily!
Two level 10 demon beasts fled swiftly with lightning energy still shimmering on their bodies.
Crack!
One small demon king attacked again, and one of the fleeing level 10 demon beasts was killed.
The last one fled faster without looking back but was shattered by another small demon king.
The level 10 demon beasts which could have transformed were all dead in the blink of an eye!
With the limited resources of the Demon Sea, brutal killings were the norm. After all, the small demon kings wouldn’t allow the other demon beasts to reach the Transformation Realm so easily!
Among the tens of millions of demon beasts, only a small portion could reach level 10 from fierce battles. Then, a tiny portion of the level 10 demon beasts could pass the Heavenly Tribulations while only a few could survive until they become big demon kings!
That was the cruelty of the Demon Sea!
Standing on the golden boat, Hao Ren watched the death of more than a dozen level 10 demon beasts and was astonished by the cruelty of the small demon kings!
If not for the great speed of the purple gold hairpin and the lightning cultivation technique of the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll, he would have died here!
No wonder the other human cultivators and dragon cultivators didn’t dare to venture into the Demon Sea!
“Go!” Hao Ren urged.
It was close to noon. If he didn’t get out of here soon, he wouldn’t get out after it turned dark!
The dual-elemental nature essences in his body were put into the golden boat, and it left a series of afterimages while it flew swiftly to the west.
Swoosh… Seeing over a dozen level 10 demon beasts being struck back into the sea, the golden shield returned to Hao Ren’s side.
Since Hao Ren helped it pass the Heavenly Tribulation, it owed a favor to Hao Ren. However, for simple-minded dharma treasures, they would fight when they thought that they would win but would flee when they felt like it was dangerous.
After just passing the Heavenly Tribulation, the golden shield looked blackened like a rusted iron plate when it didn’t use its powers. It probably would look like this in the future.
Hao Ren looked at it and didn’t scold it for not doing its best. After all, it was good enough that it helped him, and he couldn’t expect it to risk its life for him when he wasn’t its owner.
“In the future battles, the golden shield can launch some sneak attacks as a helper even if it can’t be counted as part of the main force…” While Hao Ren thought about this, he struck down more than a dozen small demon kings emerging from the sea with sword energies.
Staying close to Hao Ren, the golden shield shot out several golden beams, killing several small demon kings and some level 7 and level 8 demon beasts that tried to rush out.
As a supreme spiritual treasure, its spiritual senses were more powerful than Hao Ren’s and could clearly see the demon beasts hidden in the sea.
While the purple gold hairpin traveled at top speed, they shot out white sword energies and golden lights.
Bang! Occasionally, a level 10 demon beast would rush out, and Hao Ren would launch hundun sword energies to summon heavenly lightning bolts, striking the demon beasts on and under the sea into the depth of the ocean.
For the small demon kings with lower realms, he attacked them with sword energies; for the demon beasts with higher realms, he attacked them with lightning bolts. Despite the great number of small demon kings, none could block Hao Ren.
Hao Ren calculated the time silently and estimated that he could fly out of the Demon Sea in two hours.
“Since you are here, you may stay here. Brother, since you’ve come into the Demon Sea, you’d better stay!”
A resonant voice crashed down with great power.
The nature essence in Hao Ren’s body paused abruptly, and he couldn’t circulate the Treasure-Controlling Scroll smoothly. Consequently, the purple gold hairpin lost its source of nature essence and slowed down abruptly.
Hum!
A huge purple net appeared in the high sky.
Hum!
The golden shield released a wave of golden light toward the huge purple net. Although it had just advanced and hadn’t solidified its realm yet, it could easily defeat ordinary dharma treasures.
However, the golden light went through the purple net without any effect!
Swoosh… The golden shield flew away from the side.
“Our king is inviting you to his home. You can come with me now!” the voices sounded again.
He sounded calm and unimpressed at the fact that Hao Ren had a supreme spiritual treasure as his helper.
Hao Ren knew the newcomer was not a small demon king but a mighty figure. When the huge purple net crashed toward him, he immediately took out the realm-breaking note and shot it out.
He reacted very fast, knowing that since the golden shield’s lights couldn’t touch the huge purple net, it wasn’t a dharma treasure but an array formation.
Bang.
The huge purple net disappeared in the high sky.
“Well…” The voice in the void sounded surprised when Hao Ren had easily broken the purple array formation.
Hao Ren now had four more realm-breaking notes in it.
Despite their ordinary looks, the realm-breaking notes were excellent in battles!
Zhen Yuan Zi, who was Penglai Island Master, had given Hao Ren new clothes and his necklace back to him when he returned to human form from the dragon form.
Hao Ren took the opportunity to check his necklace and saw a small golden token in it; it was the Penglai Immortal Token!
“This token probably isn’t a gift but something for me to bring back to the Dragon God Shrine!” Hao Ren thought.
Suddenly, Hao Ren understood why this powerful demon king tried to catch him in the outer area!
With the Penglai Immortal Token, Hao Ren could land on most of the remote celestial mountains in the Demon Sea, and the demon kings couldn’t go to these places to catch him since they had agreements with the independent cultivators.
However, in the outer area where it was only two hours away from the edge of the Demon Sea, there were no remote celestial mountains!
“If you can get out of the Demon Sea safely…”
Hao Ren remembered Zhen Yuan Zi’s words. Zhen Yuan Zi had known the journey would be dangerous, but Hao Ren had to take his chance since he didn’t want to stay in Penglai Island to avoid the dangers.
Crack… Disregarding the damage to his body, Hao Ren released the peak Qian-level power.
More than 40,000 sword energies shot out at the same time!
Faced with powerful enemies, he couldn’t conceal his strength anymore and must kill with one attack! The more he delayed, the more dangerous the situation would get!
“Come out!”
Standing on the boat, he shot 40,960 sword energies into the high sky.
The sword energies were so dense that they reflected the sunlight, giving the illusion of hundreds of thousands of sword energies.
“Hehe. Not bad.”
A young man who looked to be 19 years old appeared slowly from the void behind a golden fan.
Mid-tier Nascent Soul Realm.
Looking at him, Hao Ren felt his true realm.
Since he had reached mid-tier Nascent Soul Realm after transformation, he was a master among the small demon kings!
It must be noted that the cultivation of the demon beasts was more difficult than that of the human cultivators. They had to pass the Transformation Tribulation after cultivating from level 1 to level 10, and then they had to cultivate again. This small demon king’s mid-tier Nascent Soul Realm was much more powerful.
After all, Zhen Congming had just reached Zhen-level which was equivalent to the Core Formation Realm!
“You show no appreciation to kindness! In the territory of the Demon Sea, you’ll die without knowing why!” The small demon king who was standing in the void put away the golden fan and pointed it at Hao Ren.
Hao Ren was at peak Qian-level, and this small demon king was only at mid-tier Nascent Soul Realm which was equivalent to Xun-level. However, this small demon king had re-cultivated after transformation and thus cultivated twice!
A black light shot from the golden fan toward the spot between Hao Ren’s eyebrows.
Hao Ren’s 40,960 sword energies rushed over with the full force and lightning energy.
Hiss… Ear-piercing noises sounded, and the small demon king retreated half a step in the high sky and spread out the fan abruptly.
Bang! Two surges of powerful nature essence exploded in the air.
In the surging heat waves, Hao Ren retreated ten meters on the golden boat which almost touched the sea water.
“Hehe. Your attack is useless against me.” The small demon king waved the fan, looking relaxed. “Of course, you can try attacking me with heavenly lightning bolts.”
“Heaven lightning bolts…” Hao Ren touched his necklace and thought.
Suddenly, Hao Ren saw two black dots flying toward him from a distance.
