On the map of the Heavenly Demon Ridge, the area of water occupied by the Death River section was twice as large as the territory of the Yunwu County Kingdom, with ten thousand miles of water in all directions.
Within a body of water, a large number of ferocious savage beasts were bred, and among them, there were even fifth rank savage beasts that possessed the terrifying power to tear apart Fish Dragon Realm martial artists.
Zhang Ruochen’s choice to enter the Deadly River section was also a risky move, after all, it was only on the water that he wouldn’t leave behind his scent, and it would be easier to evade the Black Market’s pursuit.
Now, he only needed to worry about not being targeted by the powerful water savage beasts.
After spending half a day, Zhang Ruochen’s injuries recovered and his whole body was full of strength again.
Not only that, he felt that his martial cultivation, seemed to have improved again, and he was already just a foot away from the Earth Extreme Realm Grand Circle. At any time, he could, in one fell swoop, break through the realm.
Zhang Ruochen looked at the Elephant Swallowing Rabbit that was paddling, smiled, and said, “Pots and Pans, come over here!”
When Pot Pot heard Zhang Ruochen call out, it immediately placed itself on a tree branch, jumped twice on the dugout boat, and plopped down under Zhang Ruochen like a pug.
Zhang Ruochen stroked Pot Pot’s head and took out a jade box, from which he took out a piece of spirit meat weighing more than twenty kilograms and handed it over.
Smelling the aroma of the spirit meat, Pot Pot’s mouth watered and immediately leapt up, took a bite of the spirit meat, dragged it to the other end of the canoe, and began to eat it fiercely.
Zhang Ruochen also took out a piece of spirit meat, cut it into small pieces, and slowly ate it.
Eating spirit meat was not only able to replenish energy, but also enhance cultivation.
After eating the spirit meat, the energy in his body grew crazily, and although it didn’t help Zhang Ruochen to impact to the Earth Extreme Realm Grand Circle, it was comparable to the results of Zhang Ruochen’s half a month of hard cultivation.
After the pot finished eating that piece of spirit meat, it was once again frozen by the cold energy contained in the spirit meat, and its whole body turned hard and motionless.
Through the ice crystals on the surface of its body, it could be seen that it still had its mouth wide open and its eyes wide open, looking very dull and adorable.
“Worthy of being a mutant species amongst the Elephant Swallowing Rabbits, its digestive ability is not generally strong. Still as a juvenile, it was able to absorb the power of the spirit meat of a fourth-stage medium savage beast, something an ordinary Yellow Extreme Realm martial artist wouldn’t be able to do.”
Yellow Extreme Realm martial artists, if they swallowed the spirit meat of a Fourth Order Medium Savage Beast, not only would they not grow in cultivation, but they might lose their lives instead.
“Wow!”
Right at this moment, the originally calm water surface suddenly sprouted huge bubbles, some of which were only the size of a fist, while others were even bigger than a face basin.
It was as if, the entire waters had boiled up, emitting a wave of heat.
“What’s happening?”
Zhang Ruochen stood up abruptly, only to see a dark red glow appear under the water hundreds of metres away.
The red light, which kept getting stronger, surfaced.
It was actually a crimson flame, suspended on the black water surface, appearing particularly blinding.
In the flame, wrapped in a strange flower the size of a millstone, a total of twelve petals, appearing crystal clear, emitting a strong fragrance.
Seeing that ball of flame, Zhang Ruochen’s face revealed a look of ecstasy, “Twelve-point Nefarious Flame Spirit Babe, the Death River Segment, actually able to breed such a treasure, it’s too unbelievable.”
The Nirvana Fire Spirit Pao is a spirit medicine that enhances the cultivation level of a martial artist, and is originally of the fire attribute, yet, it can only be nurtured in extremely cold waters.
The Nirvana Fire Spirit Oddball, every time it grows a petal, it increases by one grade.
Twelve grades of spirit sorbet meant that it had been growing for twelve hundred years.
The medicinal power of a spirit medicine, over a thousand years, would mostly undergo a qualitative change, just like a martial artist’s cultivation level breaking through from the Earthly Extreme Realm, to the Heavenly Extreme Realm.
A nine hundred year old spirit medicine might already be quite a remarkable treasure for a martial artist.
However, in terms of medicinal power.
A nine hundred year old spirit medicine was more than ten times worse than a thousand year old spirit medicine.
A Nirvana Fire Spiritual Sorcerer that had grown for twelve hundred years was naturally even more precious, and such an Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasure would have a great allure even to a martial artist of the Heavenly Extremity Realm’s Great Circle.
“If I can obtain a twelfth-grade Nirvana Fire Spirit Paeonia, even just taking a single petal should be able to allow me to break through to the Earth Extremity Realm Great Circle.”
Zhang Ruochen got excited and immediately harnessed the dhow and travelled in the direction of the Nirvana Fire Spirit Pappa.
The twelfth grade Nirvana Flame Spiritual Sorcerer came out and caused a great commotion, startling all the savage beasts in the surrounding waters and converging in this direction.
“Woo!”
A savage beast’s cry resounded in the water.
In the water, a sky-turning wave was set off, and a giant claw condensed from black water reached towards the Twelfth Grade Nefarious Flame Spirit Babe, wanting to seize this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasure.
“What a terrifying savage beast aura.”
Seeing that he was about to rush in front of the Twelfth Grade Nefarious Flame Spiritual Sorcerer, Zhang Ruochen was forced to give up and immediately grabbed the potpourri that was frozen into ice and opened the inner space of the Space-Time Crystal Stone, rushing in at the first opportunity.
The Twelfth Grade Nefarious Flame Spirit Babe, although it was a Heaven and Earth Spirit Quencher, it was uneconomical to lose one’s life for it.
That one savage beast in the water was too strong, and it was impossible for Zhang Ruochen to block its strike, which was why he could only temporarily hide in the inner space of the Space-Time Crystal Stone.
Of course, Zhang Ruochen didn’t give up on the 12th Grade Nefarious Flame Spirit Pool, and after hiding in the Space-Time Crystal Stone, he immediately released his Spatial Domain to closely monitor the movements outside.
At the same time, he put the Flying Fish Armour on his body and was always ready to rush out and seize the treasure as soon as the opportunity arose.
Just as that one of the waterside savage beasts, was about to grab the twelfth-grade Nefarious Flame Spirit Pao, in the water, another savage beast’s whistling sound resounded.
Another powerful waterside savage beast appeared.
“Rumble!”
It was a Silver Light Shark with a twelve-metre long body and silver scales all over, leaping up from the water with a speed as fast as a silver arrow.
That one water savage beast from earlier also rushed out of the water, its body was a hundred times more massive than the Silver Light Shark, it was like a black island with eight tentacles, it was actually a huge and incomparable octopus.
The strength of the two water savage beasts were both very terrifying, and they fought together, causing the entire water area to toss and turn.
“Pah!”
Suddenly, one of the tentacles of the Silver Light Shark struck above the Nirvana Fire Spiritual Sorcerer, piercing through the peripheral flames and shattering the Nirvana Fire Spiritual Sorcerer into twelve pieces of petals that flew in twelve different directions.
Each petal was two metres long and as thick as five fingers merged, like twelve pieces of flaming crystal jade, floating on the water in a hundred feet radius.
Each petal contained strong medicinal power, if taken, it was comparable to taking a nine hundred year old elixir.
For Zhang Ruochen, even if he obtained just one petal, he would definitely be able to impact the Earth Extremity Realm Grand Circle.
“Surprisingly, it’s split into twelve.”
Zhang Ruochen hid in the Space-Time Crystal Stone and realised that one of the petals was very close to the location of the Space-Time Crystal Stone, only four zhang away, so it could be said that it was within reach.
However, once he went to fetch the petals of the Nirvana Fire Spirit Oblong, he would definitely be discovered by those two powerful Waterside Savage Beasts.
To fight, or not to fight?
Spell it out!
Zhang Ruochen carefully controlled the Spatial Domain, wrapping the petal of the spirit flower in the Spatial Domain, and using the power of space to slowly pull the petal in the direction of the Space-Time Spirit Crystal.
“Wow!”
On the surface of the Space-Time Spirit Crystal, a circle of faint white light appeared, and with the fastest speed possible, it collected that piece of spirit flower petal into the inner space.
Zhang Ruochen stood in the inner space of the Space-Time Spirit Crystal and received that piece of Spiritual Orange Blossom Petal with great joy in his heart.
Great!
By possessing this piece of spirit flower petal, he would be able to break through to the Earth Extremity Realm Grand Circle in one fell swoop before entering the Underwater Dragon Palace, taking his cultivation to the next level.
The Silver Light Shark and that huge octopus were still fighting for the most precious Spiritual Sorbets of the Nirvana Fire Spiritual Sorbets, and didn’t realise that a piece of Spiritual Sorbets petal was missing.
The Spiritual Sorbets, wrapped in the centre of the twelve petals, took up most of the medicinal power of the Nirvana Fire Spiritual Sorbets.
After the twelve petals were dispersed, the Spiritual Sorbets were exposed, suspended three feet from the surface of the water, emitting a fiery glow.
The Spiritual Paozi looked like a basin-sized crystalline orb that was crimson in colour, emitting a temperature that boiled the waters.
Ordinary people who got close to it would instantly go up in smoke.
Zhang Ruochen took advantage of the moment when the two waterside savage beasts were fighting to collect three Spiritual Pappa petals in a row, and when he was about to collect the fourth Spiritual Pappa petal ……
Suddenly, the two savage beasts were alerted and realised that there was a “thief” hiding in this area of water, who had actually secretly collected three spirit flower petals.
They are the overlord of this piece of water, who dares to steal the heaven and earth spirit belonging to them under their eyes?
The two savage beasts stopped at the same time, and began to search for the traces of that shameless “thief”.
Soon, they found a wooden boat floating on the water surface, only that there was no breath of life on the wooden boat, so they didn’t pay too much attention to it earlier.
Until this moment, carefully probed, only to find that the one wooden boat, actually came from the faint aura fluctuations.
“Crap! It’s been discovered! These two savage beasts are not only powerful, but also extremely intelligent, so I really did underestimate them.”
Zhang Ruochen stood in the inner space of the spatial crystal stone, frowning tightly as he began to think hard about a countermeasure.
“Wow!”
The Silver Light Shark swam to the side of the wooden boat and saw that there was no hidden “thief” on the boat, only a small crystal.
How can there be only one crystal?
The silver shark was furious, his mouth let out a strange cry, opened his huge mouth, bit the dugout boat into two, and swallowed a spirit crystal into his stomach.
Zhang Ruochen was naturally in the inner space of that one Spirit Crystal and followed into the Silver Light Shark’s belly.
“It seems that I still overestimated the intelligence of these savage beasts, actually swallowing a space-time crystal into their bellies, isn’t that asking for death?”
If it was outside the Silver Light Shark’s body, Zhang Ruochen would definitely be no match for the Silver Light Shark. However, entering the Silver Light Shark’s body, its defences were reduced to a minimum, and it would be as easy as a slap in the face for Zhang Ruochen to kill it.
However, Zhang Ruochen was not prepared to kill the Silver Light Shark right now, he was also prepared to use the Silver Light Shark’s fighting strength to seize the Spiritual Paozi and the remaining Spiritual Paozi petals.
Right now, he would take advantage of this moment to refine a piece of Spiritual Sorrento Petal and impact the Earth Extremity Realm Grand Circle.
