Chapter 178: Suppression from the Bloodline
Sky.
That Second Rank Great Spirit Beast Thunder Roc had also noticed the Mysterious Water Crocodile from the moment it appeared.
However, what angered it was that the other party was actually the Beast Pet of that ordinary-looking Human Cultivator!
Despicable! Thunder Roc's eyes were sharp, and it screeched. What it disliked the most were these Demonic Beasts who willingly became Human Beast Pets.
Crackling sounds! Electric arcs flickered, and Thunder Roc's aura suddenly surged. A pair of sharp claws that could easily pierce Cultivator Magical Artifacts, wrapped in Lightning power, spread its giant wings and swooped down towards the Mysterious Water Crocodile.
Boom! Two Second Rank Great Spirit Beasts collided in Mid-Air, erupting a dazzling light. The nearby air suddenly exploded, scattering a Shock Wave in all directions.
The shock stunned those Low Rank Demonic Beasts, and they fell downwards.
Subsequently, the two Demonic Beasts began to fight in Mid-Air, where Lightning roared, the air was chaotic, and mountains crumbled and earth split.
The Fierce Wind scraped out by the aftermath of the battle even shaved off a large half of the bow of a Loose Cultivator Alliance Magical Warship.
Even though Thunder Roc's Lightning Mystical Power was incomparably sharp, and coupled with a pair of incomparably sharp claws, it still could not break through the Mysterious Water Crocodile's dark-gold Scale Armor's defense.
On the contrary, the Mysterious Water Crocodile was not flustered, and its giant tail, flashing with Lightning power, lashed out and heavily struck Thunder Roc's back.
Bang! Thunder Roc was caught off guard and solidly took this hit, instantly being sent crashing down thirty or forty yards.
A wisp of blood spilled from its sharp beak, and in its eyes, it stared at the opposite Mysterious Water Crocodile with some disbelief.
It had not expected that a Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage Demonic Beast could actually cause damage to itself.
It should be known that it possessed Earth Grade Bloodline Talent! Thunder Roc put away its underestimation, no longer engaging in close combat, but instead relying on its speed to constantly circle and turn, attempting to exhaust the Mysterious Water Crocodile's stamina.
However, after the two sides chased and grappled for half an hour, no matter how Thunder Roc flew and escaped, it could never shake off the Mysterious Water Crocodile's pursuit.
In the end, Thunder Roc became anxious. As a Clan Leader, it had always regarded itself as being in a superior position, enjoying the authority brought by its noble Bloodline.
When had it ever suffered such humiliation? To be chased around like a stray dog by a Mysterious Water Crocodile. Even if it won, it would be looked down upon by other clans when it returned to Beast Roar Mountain Range.
Thinking of this.
A fierce glint flashed in Thunder Roc's eyes, it let out a sharp screech, and then unleashed its strongest Innate Bloodline Divine Power! It opened its sharp beak, and the silver Lightning flickering around its body all converged in front of its beak, and Fierce Wind continuously spewed out of its mouth, condensing into a huge magic ball interwoven with Wind and Thunder.
Terrifying Spell power suddenly descended upon this Heaven and Earth.
The Loose Cultivator Alliance Cultivators watching this scene were terrified. If this Great Demon's Innate Mystical Power landed on the Magical Warship, it would definitely be unable to withstand it.
The Mysterious Water Crocodile was also unwilling to be outdone. It opened its massive mouth, and the dark-gold scales on its back lit up one after another, connecting into a single piece.
It also used its advanced Innate Bloodline Divine Power—Earth Deity Lightning! A ball of golden Lightning gathered in its mouth, constantly expanding outwards.
Almost in an instant.
Two Lightning-type Great Demons simultaneously launched their Innate Bloodline Divine Powers.
Boom, crackle! Two dazzling Lightning Mystical Powers, one gold and one silver, one above and one below, met in Mid-Air, and then suddenly bombarded each other.
Power like a Thunder Tribulation erupted in the air, Electric arcs flickered and exploded, and the Demonic Beasts that were affected in the surroundings were reduced to Ashes.
Many Demon Birds scattered and fled, fearing being caught in the Range of the two Great Demons' Mystical Powers.
Everyone's eyes were focused on this earth-shattering showdown.
Sizzle!
Mysterious Water Crocodile's eyes were icy cold, and the Lightning Mystical Power in its mouth suddenly exerted force again! A Soul Might of the king of all beasts erupted from its body!
A strange golden Rune floated out from between Mysterious Water Crocodile's eyebrows and merged into the Lightning.
The golden Earth Deity Lightning suddenly surged twofold, instantly submerging the Wind and Thunder emitted by Thunder Roc, and then bombarded towards the opponent!
A golden Lightning light reflected in Thunder Roc's pupils. At the same time, a natural sense of suppression from the Bloodline came from the Soul's Depth, and a look of fear immediately appeared in its eyes.
How is this possible? Heaven Grade Bloodline! Rumble! The Earth Deity Lightning spat out by the Mysterious Water Crocodile fiercely struck Thunder Roc, Lightning roared, instantly submerging it.
A cloud of blood mist erupted in the Sky, and a huge corpse plummeted from the Sky.
Thunder Roc was not completely dead at this time, still hanging on to its last breath. It was about to self-detonate its Demon Core and perish together with the opponent.
But it saw the Mysterious Water Crocodile transform into a streak of Electric light, instantly appearing in front of it, opening its bloody maw, and biting off its neck in one bite.
Gushing blood spurted out from Thunder Roc's neck.
Thunder Roc's eyes were full of unwillingness as it fell into boundless darkness. Above the Sky, a group of Demon Birds saw their Clan Leader being killed, and they all scattered like birds and beasts.
The remaining few Foundation Establishment Great Beasts looked at the Mysterious Water Crocodile in horror and also turned their heads to flee.
The Sky, which had just been covered in dark clouds, instantly became clear and cloudless. The Cultivators on the Loose Cultivator Alliance Magical Warship, while feeling the relief of surviving a disaster, were also shocked speechless by the scene just now.
That Late Tier 2 Thunder Roc Great Demon, with its outstanding Strength, even a Perfected Foundation Establishment Human Cultivator might not necessarily be its Opponent, yet it was crushed by Qin Ming's Beast Pet.
Zhou Ping's gaze towards Qin Ming was also full of awe. Such a terrifyingly powerful Beast Pet, was this nurtured by a Spirit Plant Master?
The Mysterious Water Crocodile, carrying Thunder Roc's Corpse in its beak, returned to Qin Ming's side and proudly raised its head.
"Well done, you'll be heavily rewarded later!"
Qin Ming waved his hand at Thunder Roc's Corpse and stored it into his Storage Bag.
Then he let the Mysterious Water Crocodile leave.
After doing all this, Zhou Ping from the Scattered Alliance flew over and bowed deeply to Fellow Daoist Qin, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Qin, for your timely rescue!"
"Otherwise, we would have been in grave danger."
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, you must not! In the face of Beast Calamity, it is our duty to help each other." Qin Ming quickly helped Zhou Ping up.
After the two exchanged pleasantries, the Loose Cultivator Alliance Magical Warship dared not delay any longer, tidied up the battlefield, and quickly left Moon Gazing Lake.
…
Moon Gazing Island.
Qin Ming returned to On the island with the Mysterious Water Crocodile.
Wu Jiang swallowed his saliva, and nervously asked Qin Ming, "Fellow Daoist Qin, did something major happen outside?"
"Why was there the sound of fighting with beast groups?" "It's nothing, the Scattered Alliance Fleet was targeted by a group of Demonic Beasts, but it's already been resolved." Qin Ming spoke as if it were a very casual matter.
"Oh, oh! That's good!" Wu Jiang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Qin Ming smiled slightly and patted his shoulder, "Rest Assured, focus on your Farming, there is no safer place than here."
Wu Jiang nodded repeatedly, and then continued instructing the Clan Members to Farming.
Qin Ming returned to the front of his Cave Residence, threw Thunder Roc's Corpse on the ground, and took out a Demon Core from its head.
"It actually carries a trace of Thunder Serpent Bloodline, no wonder its Strength is much stronger than ordinary Late Tier 2 Demonic Beasts." He held the Thunder Roc Demon Core in his hand, examining and studying it.
But the Mysterious Water Crocodile at his feet had already drooled all over the ground.
"Alright, alright, take it!" Qin Ming casually threw the Demon Core to the Mysterious Water Crocodile, and by the way, took out a Spirit Transformation Demon Fruit from his Storage Bag and gave it to it as well.
"I've almost been feeding you Tier 3 Spirit Transformation Demon Fruit as meals. This time, you must Breakthrough to Late Stage for me, otherwise I'm going to eat crocodile meat."
The Mysterious Water Crocodile was immediately ecstatic, affectionately nuzzling Qin Ming's trouser leg, and then, with two Spirit Items in its mouth, happily crawled back to its old lair.
…
Qin Ming dissected Thunder Roc's Corpse, collected its Essence Blood and Flesh, and separately took down the pair of Thunder Wings and sharp claws, sealing them with Spirit Sealing Talismans.
This item was a rare Weapon Refinement Material. If it were placed outside, it could fetch a sky-high price.
For the next period of time.
The vicinity of Moon Gazing Lake returned to its usual tranquility. Only a few Demonic Beasts would pass by, but they would also fly away, bypassing the Mist of Moon Gazing Island.
There were also some Demonic Beasts that were blind and ignorant, crashing into the Mist Illusion Realm and turning into Blood Beads one after another.
Qin Ming threw all the Blood Beads to his Life-Bound Spirit Plant Longevity Vine. His Ancient Tree Longevity Body's Cultivation progress also increased by a large margin.
On this day.
Qin Ming came to Wu Jiang and his wife's Wooden Hut by the Lakeside, and had Mu Ruyin use the Monster Beast Meat left over from Pill Refining to make a large Dining Table of delicacies. When it came to cooking skills, her craftsmanship was truly exceptional.
The dishes on the Dining Table were all different, with perfect color, aroma, and taste. The few people ate with greasy mouths and happy expressions.
Qin Ming had eaten many Immortal Abode Delicacies from Wine Houses, but their taste was not as good as what Mu Ruyin made.
The young couple usually could not eat such rare Monster Beast Meat, which was of great benefit to their Cultivation growth, so they did not care about their image and devoured everything like a whirlwind.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, um… I heard… the defense line established by the Scattered Alliance in Spirit Habitat Archipelago is about to become unsustainable?" Wu Jiang asked, chewing a piece of unknown Monster Beast Meat in his mouth, which seemed to be quite chewy, and speaking unclearly.
Qin Ming ate pastries and nodded slightly, "That's right, if it continues like this, I'm afraid we can only ask Azure Sea Immortal City for help."
"However, judging from the current Situation, Immortal City is also preoccupied with its own affairs, so it's a bit difficult!"
"Alas! If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have sent my son to Thunder Origin Sect. There are battles every day, and I guess he doesn't even eat as well as I do!" Wu Jiang said, and took a big bite of Monster Beast Essence Flesh.
Mu Ruyin pinched him hard, "Look at what you can say!"
Qin Ming was immediately amused by the two of them.
…
Half a month passed again.
Ever since the Mysterious Water Crocodile devoured Thunder Roc's Demon Core and ate that Tier 3 Spirit Transformation Demon Fruit, it had been in a deep sleep and had not shown any signs of waking up until now.
Qin Ming even once thought that this big oaf might not have been able to withstand the Demon Power in Thunder Roc's Demon Core and had directly died.
But he and the Mysterious Water Crocodile were telepathically linked. Even if he could not sense its Aura, he could still sense that it was alive.
It was just that he did not know how long he would have to wait before it woke up. Looking at its posture, it was estimated that it would not wake up for at least a year or two.
A few days later, Aunt Long from Mirror Snow Pavilion also made a trip, and in this chaotic Situation, transported five 'Five Elements Origin Qi Spirit Peach' trees.
Qin Ming hurriedly welcomed her into the Guest Greeting Pavilion and served Spirit Gathering Tea.
"Alas! Fellow Daoist Qin, you don't know, but making this trip was really not easy!" Aunt Long sighed with emotion.
Qin Ming learned from her that Azure Sea Immortal City was now under full city-wide martial law. Even people from Mirror Snow Pavilion found it extremely difficult to come out for a trip.
Then Aunt Long also handed over the Spirit Stones from the last time Gu Qingzhao was entrusted by Qin Ming to sell Spirit Materials.
Finally, there was also a Jade Slip sent back from Su Yuqing of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty.
"Alas! In such a dangerous Situation, I still have to trouble Fellow Daoist Long to make a trip in person. Qin is really sorry. This is a small token of my appreciation, please accept it, Fellow Daoist Long." Qin Ming then took out a can of Spirit Gathering Tea and a jar of Spirit Fire Wine and gave them to Aunt Long.
Anyway, the Jade Unicorn Wine with even better effects was about to be brewed and ready to be taken out of the cellar.
Aunt Long's eyes lit up! To be honest, she knew about these two items of Fellow Daoist Qin's, and they had a great role in improving the Cultivation of Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
She had been stuck at Early Foundation Establishment Stage for decades, and it would be a lie to say she was not tempted, so she reluctantly accepted the two items.
Aunt Long only stayed on Moon Gazing Island for half a day, told Qin Ming some of the latest Information about the Cultivation World, and then bid farewell and left.
Afterwards, Qin Ming could not wait to take out the Jade Slip that Su Yuqing had sent him.
He immersed his Divine Sense in it and began to read.
After reading the contents, Qin Ming's expression changed from surprise to shock, and then from shock to doubt. In short, it was very dramatic.
In the Jade Slip, Su Yuqing expressed his surprise that Qin Ming was able to get a Perfected Tier 2 Level Demon Ape Demon Core, constantly congratulating him, and between the lines, revealed a hidden envy.
Immediately afterwards, he attached several Upper Grade Second Tier Pill Recipes, which could be used to refine Pills with Perfected Tier 2 Level Demon Cores. The rarity of these Pill Recipes could be imagined.
Perhaps even the Pill Cauldron Pavilion in the Immortal City Core District could not get such Pill Recipes.
The following content shocked Qin Ming a bit. In the letter, Su Yuqing said proudly that he himself had already touched the threshold of a Tier 3 Grandmaster Alchemist, and his Cultivation had even broken through to Late Foundation Establishment Stage, and Golden Core was in sight! "Brother Qin, Su knows that the reason you sent so many good things to me is for the Core Formation Pill Pill Recipe, right? Hehehe!"
"But I heard that a Beast Calamity has broken out in your area, are you alright?"
"Core Formation Pill is also a strategic Resources controlled by Nascent Soul Sects that dominate a region. If I give you the Pill Recipe, I will also lose my head."
"But, I know a place where you can get the Pill Recipe…"
