Crocodile Ancestor, This Ride Is Beyond Your Control!

As Fang Qing led his many classmates in slaughtering the Lesser Divine Crocodiles, the larger demon beast let out a terrifying sound.

A soul-piercing roar made their very souls tremble, filling them with endless fear.

A grave look appeared on Fang Qing's face as well. He knew that the great demon beast was the legendary Crocodile Ancestor. Even a few furious roars from it were enough to wound their souls.

They had to gather more energy as quickly as possible and complete the blood sacrifice, so Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin could set sail again.

As Fang Qing and the others slew the Lesser Divine Crocodiles, their blood and essence were absorbed by the Five-Colored Altar. This was the legendary blood sacrifice, a method of accumulating energy. Only with enough energy could Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin set sail again.

They were still far from having enough.

They needed to kill more demon beasts.

While slaughtering the demon beasts, Fang Qing kept an eye on the overall situation and filled every gap in their defenses.

Whenever any classmate was too slow to strike, he stepped in himself, keeping the outer defensive circle intact.

Even as he filled the gaps in their defenses, Fang Qing was able to enter a state of cultivation. The Buddhist Six-Syllable Mantra from before seemed to have been recorded and captured by his Bodhi Seed. It now resounded within his heart, continually strengthening his spirit and will. Though his attention was divided among several matters, his mind did not grow weary.

That was the power of the Bodhi Seed. The Bodhi Seed Fang Qing had fished up was undoubtedly a precious treasure. It had captured the Buddhist Six-Syllable Mantra and had now become the key to his entry into cultivation.

Though the Buddhist Six-Syllable Mantra had not yet helped his physical body, the improvement to his spirit alone was already extremely beneficial.

The more he fought, the stronger he became.

By the end, every classmate had submitted to Fang Qing's command. No matter how many Divine Crocodiles came, they were all destroyed by the group.

"I never thought there would be so many demon beasts here, and they're all damned crocodiles!"

"They're everywhere. If Fang Qing hadn't been directing us, we'd have been in serious trouble this time."

"But more demon beasts are still coming. Damn it, what did these things grow up eating? Did they eat this entire place empty?"

Many of the classmates still had the mood to chat as they slew the demon beasts. Yet more and more beasts appeared in the distance, black scales carpeting the ground in a dense mass, numbering in the tens of thousands.

Boom!

A tremendous shock rang out, and the ground shook violently. A fiercer, more dreadful aura suddenly erupted from a thousand meters away, reaching the heavens above and the Yellow Springs below as it surged through heaven and earth.

Two terrifying eyes like lanterns appeared amid the ruins of the Ancient Temple.

It was as though a volcano had erupted there. Boulders as large as houses crashed down near the Five-Colored Altar, as if they were about to destroy the world.

A colossal body suddenly appeared in the air there, radiating an incomparably terrifying aura.

At that moment, Fang Qing's many classmates turned pale.

Judging from its aura alone, the demon beast that had suddenly appeared was not something they could deal with. This no longer seemed like a minor boss, but the legendary ultimate boss.

Had they only just entered the world of cultivation, only to die here?

The terrifying demon beast's aura nearly crushed everyone's minds, but Fang Qing roared, "Keep killing the demon beasts! We're almost out of here!"

As he spoke, Fang Qing opened his mouth and exhaled again. The flames of the Bronze Lamp surged forth, transforming into a fire dragon dozens of meters long. Wherever it passed, hundreds of Divine Crocodiles were annihilated.

"Attack together!"

Pang Bo and Ye Fan followed close behind, unleashing fierce attacks.

Even more Divine Crocodiles died at once. The essence, energy, and spirit of the dead Divine Crocodiles did not escape, instead being absorbed by the Five-Colored Altar.

Ancient Runes in five colors appeared in the sky, as though ancient stars were shining. The Taiji Bagua Diagram appeared once more. This was a sign that the Starry Sky Ancient Road was opening.

Seeing this, all the classmates became delighted. Everyone began desperately slaughtering demon beasts, seeking to escape before the terrifying King of Fierce Beasts arrived.

Otherwise, once the King of Fierce Beasts came, no one knew whether they would survive.

More and more Divine Crocodiles became rivers of blood. The Taiji Bagua Diagram in the sky grew increasingly clear. Its eight symbols flickered uncertainly before all lighting up, opening a Starry Sky Ancient Road.

Boom!

At that moment, the King of Fierce Beasts let out an enraged roar. It directly extended a huge black hand and viciously grabbed at the Five-Colored Altar.

The hand was black, glossy, and chilling. Its fingers alone were seven or eight meters long. As it pressed down, it blotted out the sky, intent on crushing Fang Qing and the other classmates to death.

It was an utterly horrifying sight.

But the huge hand did not come down. A mysterious force pushed it aside.

Meanwhile, the enormous dragon corpses that had remained motionless began to tremble, releasing powerful Dragon Qi that suppressed every Divine Crocodile. Even the Crocodile Ancestor looked uncertain and did not dare advance any farther.

"Back to the Bronze Coffin!"

Fang Qing shouted and led everyone toward the Bronze Coffin.

They had done enough. What happened next depended on Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin.

The group retreated into the Bronze Coffin, and everyone's emotions churned.

Even Fang Qing was no exception. He knew this interstellar journey was still extremely dangerous. The greatest danger was the Crocodile Ancestor. The gap between them was simply too vast, and they could only rely on the Bronze Coffin itself.

It was an extremely risky gamble, but one worth taking.

Outside, the Crocodile Ancestor seemed unwilling to give up. It unleashed another supreme killing move, countless streams of divine power erupting from its terrifying hand as it tried to seize the Bronze Coffin.

But its hand could not break through the Giant Bronze Coffin at all. Instead, the Giant Bronze Coffin injured its hand, and even more terrifying divine blood flowed down and was absorbed by the Five-Colored Altar.

Clang.

Amid everyone's anticipation, the Giant Bronze Coffin shook, its lid closing as the nine enormous dragon corpses slowly pulled the Bronze Sarcophagus into the air.

The Interstellar Train finally started again.

Even the Crocodile Ancestor could not keep the Bronze Coffin behind.

Fang Qing finally let out a faint sigh of relief, though he did not relax completely.

The Bronze Lamp gave off light and circled around him, making him look as though he wore divine robes of flame.

He also held a string of Prayer Beads in his hand, emitting a faint glow.

Not far from Fang Qing, the Buddhist Treasures of Pang Bo, Ye Fan, and the others also still shone faintly, their light not completely extinguished.

This time, they had slain an enormous number of Lesser Divine Crocodiles, giving Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin enough energy to start. Thus, these Buddhist Treasures still retained some of their power. If nothing unexpected happened, these Buddhist Treasures with power remaining would be enough to serve as life-saving strength once they reached another world.

After visiting Treasure Mountain, they could not possibly come away with nothing at all.

As Fang Qing thought this, Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin officially began its journey and finally left the Crocodile Ancestor's attack range.

For now, they were safe.
