Chapter 1146
It was so fast that it was impossible to track . The attacks of the ninth rank sea demons completely missed .
“Nice work, Cloud!” shouted Long Chen . A bird cry rang out from above the clouds as if in response to Long Chen’s encouragement .
A rainbow light suddenly shot down like a meteor . Cloud had folded its wings and was shooting straight toward a ninth rank sea demon .
BOOM! A huge hole was forcibly pierced through the sea demon’s body . Everyone was shocked .
Cloud was only at the seventh rank . But it killed ninth rank sea demons so easily .
Not just anyone was capable of recognizing it for a Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow . After all, that was a legendary existence . In the Dragonblood Legion, only Long Chen, Meng Qi, and Tang Wan-er knew its origin .
The Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow had been expelled from the Xuan Beasts . That was why it was best not to tell everyone about Cloud’s ident.i.ty .
However, even Long Chen, Meng Qi, and Tang Wan-er were shocked by Cloud’s power .
“The Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow is far stronger than I ever imagined . We definitely need to let it have its freedom . ” Seeing Cloud completely dominating these sea demons, Long Chen was awed .
He saw that Cloud was hunting the ninth rank sea demons, and it was trying different moves, different angles . It was honing its instincts and hunting abilities .
Cloud was as quick as lightning, and its attacks only grew sharper and mightier . Any ninth rank sea demons it killed would be directly swallowed by it .
Seeing this, Meng Qi couldn’t help but sigh . She had always been worried about Cloud growing too fast because of its innate deficiency . But she had forgotten, the Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow was no ordinary Magical Beast . It had its own inheritance .
She had already helped make up for practically all of its innate deficiency . Whatever little bit remained could be naturally made up by Cloud .
Now that Cloud had advanced to the seventh rank, its core runes had been activated, and it was crazily absorbing flesh to make up for its deficiency . It was even more effective than when Meng Qi prepared special medicine b.a.l.l.s for it . So Meng Qi couldn’t help but feel ashamed . She had clung too much to her knowledge as a Beast Tamer .
Although Long Chen wasn’t even a Beast Tamer, and he didn’t know much about the habits of Magical Beasts, he still saw more than she could .
“Cloud’s one thing, but Wilde really is a monster . How can he eat so much without his stomach exploding?” Tang Wan-er looked at Wilde with shock .
It had been several hours . Other people would directly put away the corpses of the ninth rank sea demons they had killed to be exchanged for points . But Wilde would kill one and eat one . Others had gathered a few hundred ninth rank sea demons during this time, but Wilde’s speed was probably ten times theirs .
Even after eating so many, he was still hungry . Each ninth rank sea demon was like a small mountain, and even though their corpses were shrunk with a King item, that was just a spatial restriction . They weren’t truly small . Once they entered his stomach, they would return to their original size .
No one dared to try eating a ninth rank sea demon like that . It would cause their body to explode . But Wilde was still eating them without pause .
“Wilde is also undergoing some kind of transformation . He needs lots of meat as well,” said Long Chen .
Long Chen had talked about Wilde with the Xuan Master . The Xuan Master had said that the Barbarian race only existed in legend and that there was no way to say anything about them for sure . Apparently, there had been some mix-blooded Barbarian races that were essentially the same as Magical Beasts . Due to their berserk natures, they had become the enemies of the entire cultivation world and were exterminated back in the immortal era .
After that, Long Chen just kept his mouth shut about Wilde . He knew too little about the Barbarian race . It was best to keep Wilde’s status as low-key as possible .
Wilde was starting to advance . Because he relied on the energy within the meat to advance, his cultivation path was different from everyone else’s . No one knew what his limit was . But after eating a thousand ninth rank sea demons, his expression still didn’t change, and that was a bit frightening . Wilde’s stomach was like a bottomless pit .
Looking from Wilde to Cloud, Long Chen bitterly smiled . It seemed trying to get rich off selling sea demon corpses wasn’t going to happen .
As soon as Cloud defeated and ate one, it would move on to the next . Its body was slowly growing as it ate more, and its runes began to activate, expelling impurities from the food it had eaten and keeping only the essence .
This was definitely a terrifying way to advance . It was constantly eating and getting stronger in battle, and it was a kind of flawless advancement .
Long Chen just watched as the Dragonblood Legion fought . He kept the flying boat on standby just in case they encountered a tenth rank sea demon .
Although he had heard that tenth rank sea demons would not appear when the beast tide was brewing, who could guarantee anything? It was better to be careful .
After fighting for three days, even the Dragonblood Legion was starting to get tired . Furthermore, because of this non-stop intense fighting, quite a few people had ended up being so tired that they were injured in battle .
But with the healing disciples present, everything was still fine . Long Chen didn’t give the order to retreat yet .
Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er had an urge to fight as well, but they were held back by Long Chen . A battle against the will was also important . The more tired they became and the more their will slacked, the easier accidents would occur . But it would also temper them more .
When there was no longer a tide of ninth rank sea demons charging at them, all the warriors sighed with relief . They sat on the flying boat, exhausted .
As for the Dragonmark warriors, they directly fell asleep, feeling like their bodies were empty .
Only Wilde and Cloud were still full of energy . Wilde’s bronze skin had some faint runes s.h.i.+ning on it, and his aura was still growing . It was like a sleeping dragon was about to awaken within his body .
As for Cloud, it had just advanced to the eighth rank the day before . That kind of speed was absolutely shocking .
Long Chen immediately stopped Cloud from eating any more, because its aura was starting to fluctuate . That was a sign its realm was growing unsteady . It couldn’t keep eating .
He personally refined a few medicinal pills to stabilize its realm . It could kill sea demons for rations now, but it couldn’t eat them immediately .
Now everyone saw how terrifying Cloud could be . It simply spread its wings, and its runes lit up . Millions of rays of light shot out, slaughtering the ninth rank sea demons .
Then it opened its mouth and a green line of light shot out, blowing apart the sea demons .
That light only flashed once, because if it was used twice, there wouldn’t be any rations left .
Even Long Chen and Meng Qi, who had personally seen the tenth rank Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow, were shocked by Cloud’s abilities . It had such terrifying abilities at just the eighth rank . This kind of power had surpa.s.sed their understanding .
Even if Meng Qi summoned all her ninth rank sea demons, they wouldn’t necessarily be able to beat Cloud . Very likely, they would all be killed by it, because not only was it powerful, but it was also incredibly fast . Wanting to flee in front of it was just a joke .
They had truly killed an immense number of ninth rank sea demons this time . Millions of corpses had filled their spatial rings, and there was nowhere else to put them .
Long Chen tossed the leftovers that no one had room for into the primal chaos s.p.a.ce’s black soil . The Iron Spruce Oaks rapidly grew and would soon reach their peak .
The primal chaos s.p.a.ce was now flouris.h.i.+ng with life, giving Long Chen confidence . He wouldn’t have to worry about being injured now .
“Hm?” Long Chen’s expression suddenly changed . A symbol lit up on a jade tablet on his waist, and an ear-piercing alarm rang out .
“w.a.n.g Zhen’s in danger!” Long Chen saw that it was the red symbol that represented w.a.n.g Zhen . It was rapidly flas.h.i.+ng, meaning it was an urgent distress call .
This was one of the Xuantian Dao Sect’s tools . It could sense copies of itself within a range of half a million miles . And as long as they were within a couple hundred thousand miles, they could accurately pinpoint their locations .
“What happened? Did he run into a tenth rank sea demon?” asked Meng Qi .
“Meng Qi, Wan-er, look at these coordinates . Fly in that direction . ” Long Chen then jumped onto Cloud’s back and said, “Cloud, use your fastest speed . Let me see what it means to chase the clouds . ”
Cloud let out a clear bird cry and transformed into a seven-colored ray of light . The sound of its bird cry still hung in the air, but its figure had already vanished from their sight .
