Chapter 411: Chapter 411: Thunder Dragon Eel

Horrific slime sprayed out from within the Warrior Synthesis Nest, forming a giant egg.

A vast, unending stream of Source Energy poured into the slime.

A Thunder Dragon Eel larva materialized. It resembled an eel but had the head of a Giant Dragon, with a mysterious Curse Seal inscribed upon its forehead.

A terrifying surge of Source Energy poured into the Thunder Dragon Eel larva, which immediately began to inflate like a balloon.

When the Thunder Dragon Eel grew to ten meters long, a golden Thunder Divinity shot into its body. It immediately convulsed, its entire frame trembling.

Immense Source Energy surged in, strengthening the Thunder Dragon Eel’s body. Countless sharp Bone Spikes emerged from its flesh, making it look even more ferocious and savage.

After fusing with the golden Thunder Divinity, the Thunder Dragon Eel continued its frenzied evolution, its body growing ever larger.

By the time the 3 points of Thunder Divinity, 2 points of Defense Divinity, and 1 point of Power Divinity had all been absorbed, the Thunder Dragon Eel had evolved into a terrifying beast a hundred meters long. It had the head of a Giant Dragon, from which eight tentacles sprouted, and a mysterious Thunder Pattern was etched upon its forehead.

「Three days later.」

CRACK!

The giant egg encasing the Thunder Dragon Eel cracked open, the slime within forming a pool. The Thunder Dragon Eel swam out of the egg and lay dormant in the viscous pond.

With a thought from Shu Feng, a block of information appeared.

"Thunder Dragon Eel."

"Power: 1250, Agility: 600, Defense: 800, Constitution: 800, Intelligence: 30, Spirit: 850, Profound Qi: 130,000,000, Charm: 1, High-level Soul Power: 10."

"Divine Life Form. Power Divinity: 1/1, Thunder Divinity: 3/3, Defense Divinity: 2/2."

"Divine Traits: Fixed Increase in Power Performance +50%, Thunder Magic Potency increased by a fixed 150%, Defense Enhancement increased by a fixed 100%, Divine Resistance +6, Immune to Mid-level Lethal Spells!"

"Abilities: Thunder Manipulation, Super Recovery."

A fiery glint flashed through Shu Feng’s eyes. ’Seven hundred thousand Source Power, all my Divinity, and all my Soul Power are gone! The strength of this Thunder Dragon Eel isn’t bad. It’s a pity it wasn’t enhanced to the Tier Six Martial Saint Realm, otherwise it could have dominated the Cyan Demon Sea. Still, with its current power, it should be enough to defeat the Sea Demon Association.’

Shu Feng had never heard anyone in the Bi Yao Demon Sect mention a faction called the Sea Demon Association. Since he had never heard of them, they couldn’t possibly be a top-tier power with a Martial Saint Powerhouse among their ranks.

’My supply of medicinal pills is more than enough. First, I’ll raise my cultivation as high as I can.’

Shu Feng immediately began his closed-door cultivation with Xiaozhu inside the City Lord’s Mansion in Qiguang City.

Shu Feng’s physical constitution was terrifyingly strong, his comprehension was extraordinary, and with the help of the Mutated Lifebound Gu inside him, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. He quickly reached the limit of the Grand Martial Master realm, then broke through in one fell swoop to become a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

Two months later, inside a secret chamber in the Qiguang City Lord’s Mansion, Shu Feng slowly opened his eyes. A sharp light flashed within them as he began to radiate the terrifying aura of a Grandmaster.

A look of regret flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. ’Not enough resources! To advance to the Martial Venerable Realm, I need far more!’

If he had sufficient resources, Shu Feng could have cultivated in seclusion all the way to the Martial Venerable Realm. But while Qiguang City was wealthy, his own foundation was simply too profound. He had to cultivate every Martial Arts Realm to its Extreme Realm before breaking through, a process that required a vast ocean of resources.

A cold glint flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. ’The Sea Demon Association... What a fine piece of prey.’

「In a grotto-mansion on a wide, nameless island in the Cyan Demon Sea.」

"Sun Yiluo has invited me to Qiguang City to assassinate an Inner Sect Disciple of the Bi Yao Demon Sect, Han Feng. Ning Master, what do you think? Should I go?"

A lanky, somewhat ugly middle-aged man with snake-like vertical pupils and a bizarre aura held a letter, tapping his fingers as he spoke slowly.

Ning Master chuckled. "Sea Martial Venerable, it seems that brat Han Feng has some real skill, to have pushed Sun Yiluo this far. He wants to eliminate the problem at its root, but he doesn’t want to get his own hands dirty, so he came looking for you."

The Sea Martial Venerable said coolly, "That Han Feng has more than just ’some skill.’ Demon Rat, one of the Twelve Giant Demons, met a brutal end at his hands. And when he killed Demon Rat, he was only at the Martial Master Realm."

Ning Master’s pupils contracted. "What? Han Feng is that strong? In that case, his Talent must be monstrous. If he isn’t killed, the Bi Yao Demon Sect will one day have another Martial Saint!"

Powerhouses capable of killing a Martial Arts Grandmaster while still at the Martial Master Realm had appeared before in the Black Tortoise Realm. As long as they didn’t die prematurely, those experts who could kill an opponent two Great Realms above them almost invariably became Martial Saints, ruling over their own territories with unimaginable might.

A vicious glint flashed in the Sea Martial Venerable’s eyes as he spoke in a cold voice. "I have no desire to make an enemy of a man like that. Unfortunately, his presence in Qiguang City is cutting off my source of income, so he simply has to die."

Every year, Qiguang City offers a great deal of resources to the Sea Martial Venerable as tribute. If he were to lose it, his status within the Sea Demon Association would plummet. Worse, he would also lose all hope of advancing to the Martial Venerable Realm.

Ning Master asked curiously, "What do you plan to do? Are the two of us going to team up and assassinate him?"

Both the Sea Martial Venerable and Ning Master were terrifying powerhouses at the Half-step Martial Venerable Level. If they joined forces, they would have a seventy percent chance of successfully assassinating even a Grandmaster.

The Sea Martial Venerable revealed a sly, cunning smile. "No. I’ve already informed the Twelve Giant Demons of his location in Qiguang City. There’s no way they’ll let Han Feng, the great enemy who killed their comrade, get away."

The Twelve Giant Demons were the most powerful independent bandits in the martial world of the Great Zhou Demon Country. Their leader, Demon Dragon, was a terrifying master rumored to be invincible beneath the Martial Saint Realm.

Two other members, Mo Hu and Demon Snake, were also terrifying experts at the Martial Venerable Level. As long as the Twelve Giant Demons knew Shu Feng’s location, they would absolutely come to hunt him down.

Ning Master said with admiration, "Sea Martial Venerable, you are truly brilliant!"

With the Twelve Giant Demons involved, the Sea Martial Venerable could remain hidden behind the scenes and watch events unfold. It placed them in an unassailable position, free to advance or retreat as they saw fit.

「Inside a manor in Qiguang City.」

"Have you confirmed it?"

In a room, a tall, powerfully built middle-aged man spoke in a cold voice. He wore black robes embroidered with the image of a ferocious tiger, and a domineering aura emanated from him.

This man in black was none other than Mo Hu, one of the Twelve Giant Demons, whose name was feared throughout the martial world of the Great Zhou Demon Country. Among the Twelve Giant Demons, he was a terrifying powerhouse second in strength only to Demon Dragon.
