Chapter 530: Origin Beasts
Ye Xiao left the Sacred Pill City and once again entered the forest and through the forest, he arrived at a strange land after two days.
The land was blood red with a blue sky above. Not further away, there was a river... no, there was a sea.
Ye Xiao was shocked when he arrived at this land. He took a deep breath and thought: "What kind of plane was this?"
"Let"s find a place to rest first." Ye Xiao murmured then he took a step in the air. His body flashed like a bolt of lightning as he flew far away at an astonishing speed.
Ye Xiao could feel that the pressure here was great. It was also because of the pressure, his speed reduced greatly.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, the surface of the sea rolled. A figure shot out from the sea, followed by a great but terrifying aura.
Ye Xiao"s expression turned cold. Without thinking, he slapped the thing back.
"Bang!"
Spirit energy erupted as Ye Xiao"s palm collided with the attacker"s palm. A loud rumbling sound echoed in the sky. A violent gust of wind then swept out wildly, setting off a stormy sea.
The attacker was ruthlessly sent flying and fell into the sea, causing the surface of the sea to surge once again.
"This is..." Ye Xiao looked at the attacker in shock.
What appeared in Ye Xiao"s sight was a strange demon beast. It had a shark-like head but the latter half of its body was similar to a toad. In short, it looked like all kinds of demonic beasts had gathered together.
"I didn"t notice anything before this." This was the reason why Ye Xiao was so shocked.
As his divine sense spread out, Ye Xiao"s face turned serious. This demonic beast didn"t have any Life aura at all.
Under the observation of his divine sense, this strange demon beast looked like it was formed from some kind of pure energy. Strictly speaking, it wasn"t a demonic beast at all.
"What exactly is this? Is it a special creature produced in the Divine Realm?" Ye Xiao"s mind was filled with all kinds of guesses.
At this moment, the monster that Ye Xiao did not know how to address roared and charged towards him again.
"Although the aura of this monster is strong, it"s only comparable to an Early Stage Immortal King Realm. " Ye Xiao frowned and waved his hand once more.
A terrifying force pierced through the monster just like a spear. Before the monster could even get close to Ye Xiao, it fell down once more.
Under Ye Xiao"s surprised gaze, the monster"s body gradually turned into bright starlight, turning into stars that filled the sky and dispersed, returning to heaven and earth.
At the place where the monster originally stood, there was only a blue crystal.
Ye Xiao noticed this strange crystal. He waved his hand and the crystal flew towards him and in a few seconds, it landed on his hand.
When the blue crystal was in his hand, Ye Xiao felt a strange energy gathering in the blue crystal. This energy did not look like the energy from the demonic beast"s core, nor did it have the energy of an Immortal Stone. It was the energy that Ye Xiao had never come into contact with before.
When he sensed this energy, the spirit energy in Ye Xiao"s body shook. It became restless as if it wanted to devour this energy.
"This is strange. My spirit energy is already extremely pure. Such weak energy is actually able to attract my spirit energy. The energy contained within this crystal isn"t simple." When Ye Xiao saw the reaction from the spirit energy within his body, he immediately became interested in the blue crystal in his hand.
Although the spirit energy within his body wanted to swallow the blue crystal, Ye Xiao still did not act rashly. It would not be too late to swallow it after knowing what this blue crystal was.
Ye Xiao kept the blue crystal in his spatial ring and continued flying, looking for a place to land. However, this time Ye Xiao was much more careful. His divine sense kept paying attention to the surface of the sea. Sure enough, he discovered many similar demonic beasts along the way. None of them had any Life Force in their bodies.
Ye Xiao hadn"t noticed them before because he was careless.
Very soon, Ye Xiao saw an island. He immediately flew towards the island and landed on it. When he landed on an island, more than ten blue crystals had already appeared in his hands.
The strongest of the lifeforce-less demonic beasts he hunted down was only at the Middle Stage of Immortal Emperor Realm, while the weakest was only at the Early Stage of Immortal King Realm.
Taking the word "Divine Realm" in mind, these demonic beasts were quite weak.
Ye Xiao opened up a cave in the depths of the island and sat down cross-legged, beginning to recover his energy.
He didn"t rest in these two days as he kept flying without stopping after leaving the Sacred Pill City. Inside the forest, he encountered quite a few demonic beasts whom he fought against and killed them.
Without stopping anywhere in the middle, he arrived at this strange land and flew for a few hours before coming to this island. He had already spent almost all the spirit energy in his body. If he wanted to move further, he needed to recover first.
.....
In the cave that was opened up on the island, Ye Xiao was sitting with his legs crossed. He was circulating the Fifth Layer of Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique rapidly.
Under the constant circulation of the Fifth Layer of Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique, Ye Xiao started recovering his energy.
But, since this was the Divine Realm and what flow in the air was True Essence instead of Divine Essence, the recovery speed of Ye Xiao"s spirit energy was really not fast.
He was unable to absorb the True Essence so he chose to devour it slowly and convert them into spirit energy before refining them and sending them inside his Solar System.
The recovery of his lost spirit energy gave Ye Xiao a sense of security in his heart. Since there were fake demonic beasts comparable to an Immortal Emperor Realm in this unknown land, it was not necessarily impossible for there to be stronger fake demonic beasts. So, being ready to encounter stronger danger at any time was the right thing to do.
After recovering most of his Spirit Energy, when Ye Xiao was about to leave, he sensed something.
He spread his Divine Sense and discovered a huge ship flying in the sky. On that huge ship not far from the island, more than ten people wearing the same uniform were hunting and killing fake demon beasts.
"These uniforms... Could it be the uniform of a certain sect"s disciple?"
"Wait... Since these people"s target is a fake demonic beast, perhaps I can use my Divine Sense to investigate what exactly these fake demonic beasts are."
Ye Xiao"s expression changed as he kept observing these disciples of some unknown sect. He wasn"t afraid that they would find out about him because the strongest person among these groups was only at the Late Stage of Immortal Emperor Realm.
As these disciples conversed, Ye Xiao finally heard what a fake demonic beast was.
The so-called fake demonic beast was called Origin Beasts. It was said that these Origin Beasts were formed by special energy in this land. This special energy was called Origin Energy.
As for what effect that the Origin Energy had, Ye Xiao could only roughly guess from his observation and conversation of these sect disciples that with Origin Energy could refine the Spirit Energy within one"s body and make it purer. The quality of the spirit energy will increase and become even denser. And, the most surprising thing was that Origin Energy could even fasten the advancement of martial artists below Divine Lord.
These sect disciples were very young and each of them should only be several hundred years old, or even younger. However, each and every one of them had basically cultivated to the Immortal King Realm and above. The one leading them was a young girl with the appearance of a fish sinking into the water and she was at the Late Stage of Immortal Emperor Realm!
After an Origin Beast died, it would drop a crystallized crystal filled with Origin Energy, which was called an Origin Crystal.
"Sister Feng, we have hunted quite a few Origin Beasts. Let"s go. It"s said that there"s an Ancient Immortal Realm Green Flood Dragon nearby and it"s very dangerous."
On the huge ship, a disciple wearing white clothes helplessly said to the beautiful woman beside him.
This disciple"s clothing was similar to that of a woman but the former was more masculine while the latter was more feminine.
