Starsea Fruit; Sea-Measuring Stele
With a tremendous roar and dazzling spiritual light, countless waves rolled in, carrying the force of world destruction, and the entire Hidden Azure Island began to sink.
Even the residual force of a few people's attack caused the distant Azure Crane Mountain to begin to collapse.
Ye Jingcheng landed at a distance, watching the terrifying attack and feeling the remaining spiritual light. His original plan to release some Technique Method from afar was completely abandoned.
The difference between the Purple Mansion and the Golden Core is too great.
Not to mention the difference between the early stage of the Purple Mansion and the Golden Core realm.
To Ye Jingcheng's astonishment, the Earth Dragon Demon King once again used the Mountain Prison Art.
Four incredibly solid mountains with Spirit Patterns appeared, completely trapping the giant tortoise of the Sea-Overturning Demon King inside.
Even a tsunami couldn't reach the Mountain Prison.
At the same time, the Earth Dragon Demon King's enormous golden lizard tail continued to slam down, causing the Sea-Overturning Demon King to howl in agony.
"If you dare to kill me, the Star Sea Demon Emperor will surely slaughter the entire Azure Cloud Sea Region!"
The Sea-Overturning Demon King continued to roar intermittently.
His roar, however, did not stop Ye Xuecang and the Earth Dragon Demon King; instead, it made them attack even faster.
Both the Outer Sea and the Taihang Mountain Range naturally contain areas ruled by Demon Emperors.
However, most Demon Emperor rarely roam outside.
Upon reaching that level, one either possesses extraordinary talent and transforms into Demon Cultivator, or has a powerful bloodline and remains dormant for many years.
Ye Xuecang's fingers tightened, and this time he spat out a lot of blood, forming a blood pattern that flowed into the magic sword.
The goal was to achieve a swift victory.
The Thundercrash Sword, a natal Law Treasure, was unleashed once more, this time with even more terrifying sword power.
It also directly chopped at the turtle meat that had been smashed to pieces by the Earth Dragon Demon King.
It's clearly a case of striking while the iron is hot, to finish it off!
"Roar!" The Sea-Overturning Demon King opened its huge mouth and instantly spat out a water dragon, inside which was its demon core.
As soon as the demon core appeared, the water dragon seemed to gain a spiritual aura, and one could faintly hear its roar.
The water dragon and the Thundercrash sword strikes collided.
A deafening roar erupted, and countless waves surged forth, creating a massive curtain of rain.
The Thundercrash Sword was also sent flying backward.
Furthermore, cracks appeared on the Law Treasure!
In the midst of the clash between the Sea-Overturning Demon King and Ye Xuecang, the Law Treasure flying sword, its material failing, broke once again.
Ye Xuecang coughed up a mouthful of blood as a result.
Now that two swords have been broken in succession, even a third-tier Purple Mansion stage natal magic Law Treasure is struggling to withstand the backlash.
Fortunately, Ye Xuecang drew out the demon core's attack this time.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Earth Dragon Demon King over there once again conjured its claws for an attack!
This claw shone with golden light, like a divine punishment, and was enormous.
From a distance, it looked like a golden calamity.
The Sea-Overturning Demon King dared not be negligent, and at this moment, he even spat out a stone bead.
The stone bead is covered with Spirit Patterns, clearly indicating that it is an extraordinary Fourth Stage treasure.
The claws collided with the stone beads.
The golden claw light instantly turned into gray stones, scattering all over the ground.
The stone bead flew back.
"Roar!" The Sea-Overturning Demon King roared repeatedly, displaying formidable power.
However, the Sea-Overturning Demon King had his trump card, and so did the Earth Dragon Demon King.
A slight smile appeared on its lips.
The next moment, it squeezed with its claws.
With a loud boom, the Mountain Prison suddenly shrank, and the next moment, it collapsed.
The massive landslide caused half of Hidden Azure Island to sink. Ye Jingcheng was shocked to see this and immediately cast a newly formed Blood Escape Barrier in the distance to escape.
Otherwise, he was worried he'd be blown to pieces!
This was the first time Ye Jingcheng had used the Three-Origin Blood Escape Art, but the effect was excellent; he covered dozens of miles in the blink of an eye.
However, after using it, he felt weak all over, and the layer of blood barrier that he had painstakingly cultivated within his body completely disappeared.
His gaze turned back to the distance.
A torrent of pebbles crashed into the sea, raising the Haiping considerably.
The Sea-Overturning Demon King in blood, his tortoise shell was mostly blown open, and he was on the verge of death.
Just then, Ye Xuecang once again Mountainbreaker with his sword.
They severed the turtle head of the Sea-Overturning Demon King.
Ye Xuecang elixir into his possession.
On the contrary, the stone bead was captured by the Earth Dragon Demon King.
"You can take the corpse too!" came the voice of the Earth Dragon Demon King.
At the same time, it roared three more times towards the sky.
This sound signifies a struggle for territory among the Demon Kings.
No other Demon Kings or Demon Emperors will come to investigate.
As for the fact that the Sea-Overturning Demon King was a subordinate of the Demon Emperor Shui Yi, the Ye Family had already found out.
The true loyalists wouldn't be here.
Even if it ultimately triggers Beast Tide, it's still what the Ye Family wants to see, since the Ye Family's current Beast-Link Tower is only missing Demon Beast souls.
Therefore, the threat posed by the Ye Family Sea-Overturning Demon King was no different from that of a child who had been bullied and was clamoring to have someone come and help him the next day.
"Jingcheng, are you alright?" Ye Xuecang's voice came through the phone.
Ye Jingcheng shook his head, indicating that he had nothing urgent to attend to.
"Let's go, straight to the lair of the Sea-Overturning Demon King!" Ye Xuecang immediately released the Golden Light Rhinoceros Demon.
The Golden Light Rhinoceros was a powerful demon in the area, so it naturally knew the lair of the Sea-Overturning Demon King very well, and also had a general idea of the other lairs.
After all, the Ye Family has quite a few members, including the Sea-Overturning Demon King this time and the great demon from last time.
Moreover, unlike last time when the entire Ye Family was injured, this time with the Earth Dragon Demon King, the Ye Family has nothing to fear when searching for him.
"Come on up!" Ye Xuecang, riding on the Golden Light Rhinoceros and accompanied by the Earth Dragon Demon King, who had transformed into a golden robe, picked up Ye Jingcheng.
"May I call you Dragon Ancestor today?" The Earth Dragon Demon King asked jokingly when he saw Ye Jingcheng standing on the Golden Light Rhinoceros.
Clearly, he was reminded of the Earth Dragon Valley, Ye Jingcheng's actions of only calling upon the Demon King.
"I hope the Dragon Ancestor won't take offense that day!" Ye Jingcheng cupped his hands, revealing a slightly embarrassed smile at the Earth Dragon Demon King's teasing.
However, his attitude remained respectful. Now that the Earth Dragon Demon King had Beast Communion, he might even become Nascent Soul Demon Emperor in the future. How could Ye Jingcheng possibly push away such a powerful backer?
Moreover, Ye Haicheng held the Earth Dragon Demon King in high esteem, so calling out to him was nothing unusual.
"Haha, then today, I'll give you another treasure!" The Earth Dragon Demon King casually tossed the stone bead Law Treasure he had just received to Ye Jingcheng.
Upon seeing this, Ye Jingcheng was also taken aback.
"Dragon Ancestor, this..." Ye Jingcheng seemed somewhat apprehensive. He couldn't accept a reward without merit, especially one that was at least Fourth Stage Law Treasure.
"This is your reward for framing that old codger Silver Moon last time!" the Earth Dragon Demon King said.
"Don't think it's useless. This stone bead Law Treasure, although it's only Fourth Stage low-level Law Treasure, is a special type of Law Treasure. It's worth three or four million Spirit Stones, which is still acceptable!" After the Earth Dragon Demon King finished speaking, he looked at Ye Xuecang again.
That means, I know I'll give you the treasure, but the benefits will go to Ye Jingcheng.
Ye Xuecang nodded, and Ye Jingcheng smiled with relief, putting away the stone bead.
"Thank you for the reward, Dragon Ancestor!"
As Ye Jingcheng put away the stone bead, the Golden Light Rhinoceros Demon also sank into the sea.
A faint spiritual barrier enveloped the three of them, making them unable to feel even the slightest bit of sea pressure. This feeling, different from that of the Spirit Boat, was quite strange to Ye Jingcheng.
At this moment, the Golden Light Rhinoceros pressed on with even greater effort.
As a great demon of the Outer Sea, it naturally possessed a great deal of intelligence. After witnessing the destruction of the Sea-Overturning Demon King, it no longer harbored any resentment.
Moreover, after it Beast Communion with the Ye Family members and became connected with beasts, the elixirs given by the Ye Family were far more effective than those it had obtained from devouring some Demon Beasts.
Furthermore, the Sea-Overturning Demon King wasn't exactly kind to the surrounding Demon Beast; sometimes, it was common for him to devour powerful demons.
The Golden Light Rhinoceros Demon felt it was wonderful to be able to Sea-Overturning Demon King's lair, even if it was just to take a look.
The lair of the Sea-Overturning Demon King is not nearby.
Ye Jingcheng estimated that after the last tribulation, the Sea-Overturning Demon King probably hadn't even returned to its lair and was waiting for the Ye Family members here, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to arrive so quickly.
Of course, it's also possible that the Sea-Overturning Demon King, after consuming the Demon-Luring Grass, went around seeking out women.
Perhaps if Ye Jingcheng looked for turtle-like Demon Beasts nearby, he might find a few exceptionally gifted spirit turtles.
The Golden Light Rhinoceros swam in the sea for most of the day before finally reaching a dark, sunless abyss.
The seawater here is at least tens of thousands of feet deep, and there is no sunlight at all.
Only some luminous stones in the seabed silt emitted a faint glow.
"We've arrived!" the Golden Light Rhinoceros demon said in human language.
Ye Jingcheng finally saw the distance.
There was a huge depression there, and upon closer inspection, one could see that there was a ruined altar inside the giant pit.
The stones on the altar were all of the highest quality, and Ye Jingcheng even saw a broken Ancient Teleportation Array nearby.
However, without the Space Jade, the Teleportation Array could no longer be used for teleportation.
Otherwise, this place could have served as a second transit point for the Ye Family.
Beside the Teleportation Array, there was a slightly smaller pit, but even though it was slightly smaller, it was still over a hundred feet wide.
That huge pit was clearly where the Sea-Overturning Demon King lay prone.
"Star Sea Fruit Tree!" Just then, a spirit tree from the seabed caught the attention of the three.
It was a jade tree as colorful as the starry sky.
Several star-shaped flowers have already formed at the top of the jade tree.
This spiritual fruit is also extremely famous in the Cultivation World.
Because it can greatly enhance the physical strength of Demon King, it is an extraordinary treasure even for Golden Body Cultivators.
Upon seeing this treasure, the Earth Dragon Demon King's eyes lit up.
With this Star Sea Fruit, it will be more confident in breaking through nature.
Even if Demon Beast cultivates Demon Cultivator methods and practices spiritual arts like a cultivator, it will still pay attention to its bloodline and Qi and Blood.
This Star Sea Fruit might not be a lifesaver, but it's a welcome addition, slightly increasing the chances of the Earth Dragon Demon King breaking through.
"Go, wipe out all the nearby Demon Beasts!" Ye Xuecang directly ordered, instructing the Golden Light Rhinoceros Demon to first exterminate the surrounding area.
Although it's unlikely that any Demon Beasts would dare approach the Sea-Overturning Demon King, Ye Xuecang's cautious nature still compelled him to do so.
Then Ye Xuecang began to set up the Array. They would not be guarding this place, Earth Dragon Demon King would return to the Taihang Mountain Range.
Ye Xuecang is to be stationed on Skycloud Island.
The only explanation is that Ye Shengyi broke through to the Golden Core stage and became a pseudo-Core cultivator, which allowed him to guard this place.
At this moment, it is natural to set up the Array in advance.
A cultivator normally needs to undergo tribulation to break through to the Golden Core stage, but refining Demon King does not require tribulation, and there is no need to make a big fuss about it.
That way, we can settle things here.
While Ye Xuecang was setting up the grand formation, Ye Jingcheng continued to examine the underground ruins.
There must have been an underwater palace here before, or perhaps the gate of some underwater sect.
Many cultivators in the sea area place their sects underwater.
Ye Jingcheng had also heard of cultivators who tempered their bodies under water pressure at the bottom of the sea.
However, Ye Jingcheng searched everywhere but found no treasure.
There weren't any turtle eggs as I had imagined.
Clearly, this Sea-Overturning Demon King was not only a male tortoise, but also a widow.
"The Teleportation Array here is worth studying!" At this moment, Ye Xuecang finally finished setting up the Array and walked over. He looked at the ruins of the Teleportation Array with a curious look in his eyes.
After some hesitation, Ye Jingcheng headed towards the spot where the Sea-Overturning Demon King was lying.
There, where they were lying, was an ancient stone tablet about three feet long.
Ye Jingcheng hadn't noticed before.
But as soon as Ye Xuecang moved the stone tablet aside, a terrifying surge of Water Attribute Spiritual Qi rushed outwards.
This scene also greatly surprised Ye Jingcheng; there was actually a Fourth Stage Spirit Vein being suppressed beneath it.
This stone tablet is clearly also a rare treasure.
"The Sea-Measuring Stele!" Ye Jingcheng looked at the three ancient characters on it.
The stone tablet was completely covered in dust.
"This is the greatest gain of this trip!" the Earth Dragon Demon King said at this moment.
"Is this Ancient Treasure?" Ye Xuecang asked hesitantly.
Clearly, the other party was also somewhat uncertain at this moment.
But then, he smiled broadly.
Ye Jingcheng's heart pounded when he heard the name.
In the Cultivation World, anything that can be placed inside the body for refinement and nurturing can be called a Law Treasure.
Law Treasure are also divided into three tiers: third, fourth, and fifth.
Above Spirit Treasure Law Treasure, there are Spirit Treasures, which require specific Treasure-Linking Art to activate.
Without a specific Treasure-Linking Art, even Sixth Stage Spirit Transformation God Lord cannot use it.
Among Spirit Treasures and Law Treasures, there is also the category of Ancient Treasures.
However, Ancient Treasures are different from Law Treasures and Spirit Treasures. They are more special and cannot be stored in the body for refinement, nor can they be placed in storage space.
It cannot even be contained within Grotto-Heaven, as it involves certain rules of heaven and earth.
However, it cannot be denied that the power of Ancient Treasures is also immense.
If they were to attack the Sea-Overturning Demon King in his lair, both Ye Xuecang and the Earth Dragon Demon King might suffer a crushing defeat!
"Fellow Daoist Long, we may need you to guard this place for a while longer!" Although the Earth Dragon Demon King's attributes are not very compatible.
But at this moment, Ye Xuecang was helpless.
After all, he still had to keep an eye on the Skycloud Archipelago, while the other Purple Mansions here couldn't be defended at all.
Only the Earth Dragon Demon King can guard this place, which will put his mind at ease.
Otherwise, the loss of the Ancient Treasure, the discovery of the Fourth Stage Spirit Vein, or even the disappearance of the Star Sea Fruit would not be a situation that the Ye Family would want to see.
Once Ye Shengyi breaks through to the Golden Core stage, he can naturally replace the Earth Dragon Demon King.
"This is alright!" The Earth Dragon Demon King nodded.
It is also very interested in this place.
Seeing the Star Sea Fruit tree next to me made me even more satisfied.
Watching the fruit trees ripen is a reassuring experience for it.
As for Earth Dragon Valley, it won't have any problems for several years or even decades.
Even if problems arise, the Earth Dragon Demon King wouldn't really care too much.
The spirit fruit trees there ripened some time ago, but it has already devoured them.
As for other forces, as long as they exist, they can gather such a large force at any time.
"Then it's settled, Jingcheng. Next, let's search the other great demon lairs!" Ye Xuecang continued to cover the underground Spirit Veins with the Sea-Measuring Stele to prevent it from leaking out.
Then, he took Ye Jingcheng and summoned the Golden Light Rhinoceros Demon.
The Golden Light Rhinoceros Demon was also in high spirits at the moment, but when it heard that it was going to search its own lair, it was immediately extremely disappointed, and even the spirit fish it had just eaten no longer tasted good!
