However, these three dragon-blooded demonic beasts had no idea that, on this battlefield, there was actually another person observing the Dragon Carp's advancement alongside them.

Jing Qian himself had never expected that the ball of grass he'd accidentally thrown down would stir up such enormous waves!

Still, as a spectator enjoying the spectacle, the bigger the commotion, the better it was for him.

Only when the waters were muddied could one fish in them. With the uniquely advantageous conditions provided by the Void Realm, Jing Qian had slipped into the very heart of the battlefield and picked up whatever scraps he could. That was perfectly reasonable, right?

He did not ask for much. Ideally, he just wanted a few of the demonic beasts to truly fight, shed some scales or shells, and let him pick them up!

Even the most battered fragment of a Seventh Grade Crocodile Dragon Scale was a priceless treasure. If he could pick up one—or even half of one—he would make a killing.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the advancement of the Crimson Scale Dragon Carp. This was the crucial turning point that would determine how the situation evolved.

And this Dragon Carp truly lived up to everyone's expectations. In just three days, it successfully completed its advancement from Azure Wing!

The newly born Eighth Rank Golden Dragon Carp had doubled in length once more, reaching three feet three inches. The streak of purple scales on its back had transformed into bright, pure gold.

The very next second after completing its advancement, it instantly transformed into an even thicker streak of golden light and fled beyond the Crocodile Dragons' encirclement at nearly twice its previous speed.

Its underwater speed had already surpassed a thousand miles per hour, yet it merely stirred up a faint ring of waves.

The enhancement from the Dragon Travel Technique had grown even stronger!

And even so, it still could not break free from the encirclement of the three Seventh Rank demonic beasts!

Before it had fled very far, the White Jade Lobster flicked its tail and transformed into a streak of white light, flashing in front of the Dragon Carp.

The Dragon Carp veered sharply to the front right, only for a hazy pink glow to block its path once again.

Behind it, the black radiance formed by the Crocodile Dragon swept in with a thunderous roar, advancing with overwhelming force.

The three great demonic beasts attacked in unison!

Blocking the Dragon Carp was only one part of it. Three powerful beams of Magic Power shot from the mouths of the three demonic beasts, each striking toward the others!

A battle between three Seventh Rank beings erupted!

Within the Void Realm, Jing Qian had already risen to his feet, both fists clenched as he focused all his attention on the battle.

This was a clash between three Seventh Rank demonic beasts!

Its splendor far surpassed every competitive event from his previous life, completely captivating him!

Boundless Destiny Essence and Magic Power poured forth, churning up monstrous waves across the sea.

This was a clash between Blue Blood Destiny Essences!

The Magic Power casually unleashed by these demonic beasts exceeded Jing Qian's by more than a thousand times!

The fact that Jing Qian could hide at the center of this battlefield and watch the entire battle was a rare stroke of luck.

However, just when Jing Qian thought the battle had reached its climax, the changing situation suddenly gave him an enormous surprise!

Through the dimensional World Membrane, he suddenly felt that the battlefield before him had experienced one second of desynchronization between sound and image.

It was as if the signal transmission had frozen.

But he immediately realized that this was caused by material deformation so violent that it had outpaced the transmission of sound waves.

When the imposing roar finally arrived as well, this earth-shattering catastrophe suddenly entered Jing Qian's eyes.

He saw the three Seventh Rank demonic beasts unleashing their full strength for the Dragon Carp across the vast sea.

A crocodile, a tortoise, and a shrimp refused to yield to one another and fought with everything they had, churning the sea into towering waves and making heaven and earth collapse.

But all of a sudden, an utterly terrifying force descended from the sky, like a heavenly punishment sent to destroy the world, crashing straight into the center of the battlefield.

In an instant, spiritual light illuminated everything and Magic Power surged in every direction. A colossal explosion erupted there!

The seawater within a half-mile radius was instantly vaporized by the force, transforming into a vast white mist that blotted out the sky.

A nuclear bomb had fallen from the heavens. The originally roiling ocean had been blasted into a waterless vacuum zone!

Although the surrounding seawater surged toward the region to fill the enormous void,

at the very least, during that brief span of time, the force descending from the sky had accomplished the earth-shaking feat of draining the sea and creating land!

The three Seventh Rank demonic beasts had originally been locked in an evenly matched struggle, but now they were sent flying by the sudden force, crashing heavily onto the dried seabed. For a moment, they could not even get back up.

Within the Void Realm, Jing Qian stared in stupefaction, his shock beyond words.

Was this really an impact that an individual life-form could create?

What kind of mighty power was needed to accomplish something like this?

It turned out that, even before the Crocodile Dragon arrived, another terrifying demonic beast had been drawn by the Crimson Scale Dragon Carp and was heading toward the battlefield as well.

However, because of its own circumstances, this demonic beast moved relatively slowly and could not keep up with the Crocodile Dragon's pace at all.

Yet it had not given up on pursuing the Dragon Carp. Instead, it stopped deep beneath the sea five hundred miles away and began to brew its own Magic Power and divine ability.

Terrifying fluctuations of Magic Power emanated from the demonic beast's true body.

An enormous volume of seawater was swallowed into it.

The demonic beast seemed like a bottomless pit, sucking a gigantic whirlpool out of the surface of the sea.

This suction continued for three whole days!

Only after the Golden Dragon Carp completed its advancement did the demonic beast finally stop.

But in the next second, the demonic beast suddenly erupted upward, shooting straight into the sky!

Only then did it reveal its form. It was actually an unimaginably enormous mottled East Wind Spirit Clam!

The two shells of the clam were over a hundred meters across, resembling a small mountain.

Once it rose into the air, its two shells opened slightly, and a massive jet of water shot out from within.

Immediately afterward, the recoil from the water jet was fully transferred to the Spirit Clam's body.

The Spirit Clam demonic beast accelerated a second time in the sky, flying rapidly toward the center of the battlefield.

Whenever its acceleration eased slightly, it fired out another water jet.

It was like a rocket accelerating in stages, growing faster and faster!

All the seawater it had absorbed turned into fuel for acceleration. On its fourth acceleration, this enormous Spirit Clam broke the sound barrier!

When it fell into the heart of the battlefield like a meteor descending from the heavens, its speed had been frantically accelerated to nearly four times the speed of sound!

The terrifying kinetic energy contained within it was impossible to calculate.

This mottled Spirit Clam was like a moving mountain, carrying the force to destroy heaven and earth as it slammed viciously into the center of the battlefield.

Its enormous kinetic energy transformed into an unprecedented shock wave that spread in every direction, instantly tearing the already-boiling sea into chaos.

With such might and such results, how could it not be called the "East Wind Spirit Clam"?

And just as Jing Qian stood stunned and the three demonic beasts collapsed, the prepared Spirit Clam had already opened its shells and swallowed the Eighth Rank Golden Dragon Carp in one bite. It then settled in the center of the battlefield and began digesting it.

After obtaining the Golden Dragon Carp's bloodline purification, this Seventh Rank Spirit Clam now had a chance to glimpse the Sixth Rank Purple-Eyed realm!

The road ahead was beckoning. Nothing in the outside world could interest it anymore.

It had absolute confidence in the defensive power of its shells. Once the doors were shut, it could not be bothered with the storms raging outside.

And in a corner of the battlefield it had not been watching, a tiny figure suddenly appeared, stole two enormous Crocodile Dragon teeth, and vanished without a trace.
