"I hadn't expected A Er to take the first step."
Lightning exploded. An albino Stone Dragon Lizard covered in mottled black markings flicked its broad, fat, slippery tongue, feasting freely on the lightning. The black markings on its back writhed like living things, growing ever more lurid, hideous, sinful...
This was none other than A Er, the Stone Dragon Lizard born after Ye Cangsheng's consciousness merged into the body of the Curse-Calamity Fierce Lizard.
Sensing the surging curse power within A Er, which seemed ready to burst forth, even Wang Ba could not help casting it a sidelong glance.
As an indispensable participant in the Threefold Suffering Curse Technique, it was one of the few divine beasts Wang Ba had never taken outside.
But over the years, the cultivators of the Little Cang Realm had made extensive use of Threefold Suffering to purify their Dao Domains and nourish their primordial spirits, and A Er had received an enormous amount of curse power in return.
Thus, over these few hundred years, even without Wang Ba cultivating it, it had relied on that vast curse power to rise all the way from the sixth tier to seventh-tier perfection.
Like Fanming, it could have entered the eighth tier-the Tribulation Crossing Realm-long ago, had it not been constrained by the rules of the Sea of Boundary Turmoil.
Even so, judging by Wang Ba's observations of the curse power within its body, A Er might well have had a considerable chance of reaching the eighth tier on its own, even without an environment like the Little Cang Realm.
After all, every use of Threefold Suffering was a tremendous feast for A Er.
What Threefold Suffering stripped away was not merely Dao Domains, but also disordered rules and dissipating primordial spirit power, all of which became
