Chapter 416: Chapter 416: Martial Saint Level Thunder Dragon Eel

The Sea Martial Venerable said, "On Sea Demon Island, the headquarters of the Sea Demon Association, there’s an entire Ocean Amber Mountain! Every year, we sell large quantities of Ocean Amber in exchange for Cultivation Resources."

Shu Feng’s eyes lit up, a flicker of excitement crossing his face. ’An Ocean Amber Mountain!! The Sea Demon Association... I have to get my hands on it.’

He couldn’t begin to imagine how much Source Energy a mountain of Ocean Amber would provide.

’The Sea Demon Association Leader has a mysterious background and formidable strength. To take him down, I have to be fully prepared!’

After a moment of contemplation, Shu Feng said, "Take me to your Treasure Vault!"

"Yes, Master!"

A respectful look flashed in the Sea Martial Venerable’s eyes as he led Shu Feng into a secret warehouse.

"This is it? You’re the Vice Association Leader of the Sea Demon Association. How can you be so poor?"

Shu Feng glanced around the warehouse, his brow furrowed in displeasure.

The total resources in the warehouse probably didn’t even amount to one-twentieth of what was in Sun Yiluo’s Treasure Vault, leaving Shu Feng sorely disappointed.

The Sea Martial Venerable said with a look of terror, "Master, most of the resources I’ve acquired over the years were handed over to the Sea Demon Association Leader. I’ve used up practically everything that was left. I am terribly sorry!"

’Pills for Grandmasters! Ocean Amber! Okay, not a total loss. Huh, what’s this?’

Something suddenly caught Shu Feng’s eye. He snatched up a fist-sized stone ball, and a strange light glinted in his eyes.

The Sea Martial Venerable explained, "I found that stone ball inside a strange fish three years ago. At first, I thought it was the fish’s Inner Core. But after studying it, I realized it was incredibly hard and wasn’t an Inner Core. I couldn’t figure out what it was, so I just left it in the warehouse."

After cleaning out the warehouse, Shu Feng went straight into his Base Space.

"Source Energy +2,000!"

"..."

Tossing all the Ocean Amber from the warehouse into the Resource Dissolving Pool netted him a total of 400,000 Source Energy.

’This thing should be great for the Thunder Dragon Eel! Alright, swallow it and evolve!’

Shu Feng stood atop the Source Energy Evolutionary Mutation Nest, looking down at the Thunder Dragon Eel inside. A slight smile played on his lips as he tossed the stone ball in his hand.

The Thunder Dragon Eel opened its cavernous maw and swallowed the stone ball in a single gulp.

A torrent of mucus spewed out, enveloping the Thunder Dragon Eel and forming a large cocoon. An immense amount of Source Energy began to surge furiously into the Thunder Dragon Eel’s body, stimulating the stone ball.

Stimulated by the Source Energy, the stone ball erupted with a terrifying Power that spread throughout the Thunder Dragon Eel’s entire body.

The Power was terrifying, far exceeding what the Thunder Dragon Eel could withstand. Four bulges grew on its body, then split open to reveal four muscular claws.

On the Thunder Dragon Eel’s forehead, in addition to the incredibly mysterious Lightning Pattern, another incredibly mysterious Storm Pattern appeared.

A bulge emerged on the Thunder Dragon Eel’s forehead and then split open. A single horn, etched with both the Lightning Pattern and the Storm Pattern, extended from its brow.

「Three days later.」

CRACK!

The large cocoon enveloping the Thunder Dragon Eel cracked open. A new form of the Thunder Dragon Eel appeared before Shu Feng’s eyes. It looked like a terrifying beast, with four limbs, a single horn on its forehead, and a body covered in a thick layer of scales. It emanated a terrifying aura.

Although the Thunder Dragon Eel hadn’t grown any larger, the aura it exuded was far more terrifying, reaching the horrifying level of a Spirit Saint.

With a thought from Shu Feng, the Thunder Dragon Eel’s stats appeared.

"Thunder Dragon Eel."

"Power: 1,650 (+400), Agility: 1,000 (+400), Defense: 1,200 (+400), Constitution: 1,200 (+400), Intelligence: 130 (+100), Spirit: 1,250 (+400), Profound Qi: 300,000,000 (+170,000,000), Charm: 100 (+99), Holy Soul: 2."

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

"Divine Traits: Fixed Increase in Power Performance +50%, Fixed Increase in Thunder Magic Potency +150%, Fixed Defense Enhancement +100%, Fixed Increase in Storm Magic Potency +150%, Divine Resistance +9, Immune to Middle Tier Lethal Spells!"

"Abilities: Thunder Manipulation, Super Recovery, Storm Manipulation."

A fervent glint appeared in Shu Feng’s eyes. ’Storm Divinity +3! That stone must have truly been the Inner Core of an immensely powerful Great Sea Monster.’

Empowered by the energy from the mysterious stone, the Thunder Dragon Eel had finally transformed. It had evolved a Holy Soul, becoming a terrifying Tier Six Martial Saint Level Great Sea Monster in one fell swoop.

Furthermore, by evolving bestial limbs, the Thunder Dragon Eel had transformed from an Ocean Element Great Sea Monster that could only dominate the seas into a terrifying amphibious behemoth.

Of course, in the ocean, the Thunder Dragon Eel was incomparably ferocious, capable of battling other Tier Six Great Sea Monsters. Even a Martial Saint would be no match for it in the sea. However, once on land, it was still no match for those same Martial Saints.

Shu Feng felt a pang of heartache as he looked at the vanished 400,000 Source Energy. ’400,000 Source Energy, gone just like that! The Sea Demon Association... Only by taking down the Sea Demon Association can I make up for this loss.’

If that 400,000 Source Energy had been used on Shu Feng himself, it would have been enough to force a breakthrough to the Martial Venerable realm.

Sea Demon Island, the headquarters of the Sea Demon Association, was a large island with an area of over four thousand square kilometers.

A hundred-meter-long ship was speeding toward Sea Demon Island.

"Identify yourselves!"

As the large ship came within five thousand meters of Sea Demon Island, the waves churned. Two giant Sea Serpents, each with twenty meters of its body extending above the surface, swam toward them. Atop the head of each Sea Serpent stood a bronze-skinned Warrior holding a trident, exuding a fierce aura.

"It is I!"

The Sea Martial Venerable walked out onto the deck, gave the two Warriors a single glance, and spoke with cold arrogance.

"Greetings, Lord Vice Association Leader!"

The expressions on the two Warriors changed slightly, and they bowed to the Sea Martial Venerable in salute.

"Mm."

The Sea Martial Venerable gave a cold grunt of acknowledgment and went straight back inside the ship.

Escorted by the two Warriors, the large ship arrived at a pier.

The Sea Martial Venerable and a rather unfamiliar young man disembarked, boarded a luxurious horse-drawn carriage, and headed straight for the Sea Demon Association headquarters.

"Lanxi greets you, Lord Vice Association Leader!"

As soon as the Sea Martial Venerable arrived at the Sea Demon Association headquarters, a stunningly beautiful woman came forward to greet him with a bow. She was tall, dressed in a black bodysuit that perfectly accentuated her gorgeous figure.

’The Association Leader has grown quite fond of promoting young people these past few years.’

The Sea Martial Venerable glanced at the stunning beauty, gave a slight nod, and said, "I wish to see the Association Leader. Please announce my arrival."
