When the Level 8 Turtle Yao appeared, everyone's hearts sank, and a chill ran down their spines.
The Infant Carp Beast let out a mocking cry, sharp and unpleasant.
"Everyone, attack!"
Under the command of the Level 8 Turtle Yao, the Demon Beasts swarmed forward. Those with Divine Abilities unleashed them, while those without used their bodies as Magic Treasures to attack.
The Core Formation Cultivators, in turn, activated their Magic Treasures, transforming them into multicolored streams of light that charged into the beast horde.
Roars, collisions, and explosions churned the currents of this sea area.
At this moment, Li Feiyu had unknowingly crept behind the Infant Carp Beast. Once he launched his attack, he naturally wouldn't be able to conceal his presence.
However, this was irrelevant to him.
Five or six streams of Extreme Yin Cold Qi shot out, instantly striking the Infant Carp Beast's body. In a flash, its body was frozen solid.
The Infant Carp Beast was a naturally water-attributed Spirit Beast, possessing a certain resistance to cold Qi, which was why it was merely frozen and not killed.
Li Feiyu's aura was exposed, immediately attracting the attention of the Turtle Yao. He turned to look and, seeing Li Feiyu freeze the Infant Carp Beast, immediately roared, "Human, how dare you!"
The Turtle Yao himself was also a Heaven and Earth Spirit Beast, and he had taken good care of the Infant Carp Beast, who was also a Spirit Beast. This time, when he persuaded it to help, he naturally promised that nothing would happen to it. Yet, right under his nose, the Infant Carp Beast was captured by a human. How could this not enrage him?
Li Feiyu smiled slightly at the Turtle Yao, then collected it into his lihuo cauldron, transforming into a streak of light and heading directly upwards.
"Kill them!"
The Turtle Yao issued another command, while he himself pursued Li Feiyu.
His speed in the water was not slow, and the distance between him and Li Feiyu was constantly closing. Just as he was about to catch up, a dark green lightning bolt suddenly descended from above. Feeling the power of this lightning, the Turtle Yao's eyes showed fear, and the huge turtle shell on his back immediately turned upwards.
Boom ~
The dark green lightning struck the turtle shell with a loud bang, splashing countless hair-thin arcs of lightning.
The Turtle Yao, struck by this terrifying force, was knocked back.
"Another human Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, how hateful!"
With a sweep of his Divine Sense, he saw a concave groove on his turtle shell, with the surrounding area charred black. Only the Divine Ability of a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator could possess such power.
Not long ago, when he was undergoing his Lightning Tribulation, a human Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator came to cause trouble, almost causing him to fail. Fortunately, he had asked his Dragon Clan friend to be his Protector, otherwise he might have already become a Magic Treasure in human hands.
Although the Turtle Yao cursed, he also learned from his mistakes. He did not dare to act rashly alone, so he did not continue the pursuit. Instead, he vented his anger on the other Core Formation Cultivators.
All fourteen of them perished there.
Li Feiyu emerged from the sea, swiftly fleeing to a small island before releasing the Infant Carp Beast from the lihuo cauldron, then striking it dead with a Azure Wood True Lightning.
"The Level 7 water-attributed Spirit Beast inner core is mine. All that's left is the fire-attributed Spirit Beast inner core."
Compared to water-attributed Spirit Beasts, fire-attributed Spirit Beasts were much rarer in the Outer Star Sea. Just as he was worrying, a violent explosion occurred several tens of miles away from him.
Li Feiyu pondered deeply, and out of curiosity, he once again concealed his aura and flew towards that direction.
"So it's the Black Breath Demon Hunting Group."
They were one of the three teams that set out at the same time as the Cloud Heaven Demon Hunting Group.
When the smoke at the center of the explosion completely dispersed, a slender, gigantic figure, over a dozen zhang long, appeared.
"Crimson Flame Dragon?!"
Li Feiyu was so shocked he almost cried out. His face showed extreme joy, and his eyes sparkled with excitement.
"And it's a Level 7 one! Heaven is truly helping me!"
Just having obtained the inner core of a Level 7 water-attributed Spirit Beast, and now encountering a Level 7 fire-attributed Spirit Beast. Am I perhaps someone favored by Heaven at this moment?!
The Crimson Flame Dragon was much stronger than the Infant Carp Beast. Not only was it a fire-attributed Spirit Beast, but it was also a member of the Dragon Clan. Its crimson scales were incredibly hard, and ordinary Magic Treasures could not penetrate them.
Its sharp claws were extremely powerful, capable of easily tearing apart typical defensive Magic Treasures.
It was agile and incredibly strong. Besides Dragon Breath and Dragon Flame, it also possessed the fire Divine Ability, Crimson Flame. Ordinary Magic Treasures struck by it would likely melt in an instant, making it quite terrifying.
The Crimson Flame Dragon was besieged by many Core Formation Cultivators, with only a few scales falling off its body. Its dragon eyes burned like golden flames, resembling golden pupils, ferocious and terrifying.
"Hunting this Crimson Flame Dragon will probably allow me to forge a set of inner armor with good defense, capable of withstanding one or two Nascent Soul Stage attacks."
"That's truly excellent."
Li Feiyu stopped above everyone's heads, quietly releasing the Great Five Elements Sword Formation diagram. It wasn't until the surrounding light barrier began to rise that everyone reacted, then looked around in a panic.
"Up there!" someone shouted.
In a short while, the light barrier had closed, and they had become trapped like turtles in a jar.
Several Cultivators tried to attack with Magic Treasures, but the five-colored light barrier didn't even ripple. The late stage Core Formation Cultivator among them tried attacking, which did cause the light barrier to ripple.
But what did that matter? It only rippled; it was still a hundred and eight thousand li away from breaking open.
"Fellow Daoist, who are you? Why have you trapped us?"
"If you want this Crimson Flame Beast, we can cooperate. Why resort to this?"
Li Feiyu didn't want to waste words. He summoned the Great Five Elements Sword and unleashed his strongest power. Fortunately, the commotion was isolated by the great formation, otherwise this powerful aura, strong enough to rival a Nascent Soul, would surely attract the attention of nearby transformed Demon Beasts and Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators.
The five-colored torrent surged unhindered, vast and unstoppable. No one could withstand a single blow. In just over ten breaths, all the Cultivators, including the late stage Core Formation one, perished.
The Crimson Flame Dragon's eyes were filled with terror. It opened its mouth and spat out a stream of crimson-golden flames.
Li Feiyu likewise shot out three streams of Taiyin Cold Qi.
He had cultivated this Divine Ability almost to the limit of the Core Formation Stage. Further up was Taiyin True Water, a great Divine Ability of the Nascent Soul Stage.
Unlike Blazing Sun True Fire and Azure Wood True Lightning, which could be cultivated across stages, there was no shortcut for this. Li Feiyu could only attempt to Cultivate it after reaching the Nascent Soul Stage.
The Taiyin Cold Qi and the Crimson Flame were evenly matched. Their opposing attributes led to a violent explosion upon collision.
At this moment, Li Feiyu manipulated the five-colored torrent to condense into five gigantic five-colored swords.
"Go!"
Li Feiyu formed a sword finger and lightly waved it. The Five Elements giant swords descended, piercing the Crimson Flame Dragon in five places, with the fatal wound in its head.
Its eyes quickly dimmed, filled with unwillingness.
After collecting it, Li Feiyu changed his appearance and immediately flew towards Mist Island.
Over a month later, he returned to his Immortal Cave and began Alchemy.
However, to ensure the success of the Advancement Nascent Pill on the first try, Li Feiyu first attempted to refine other Medicinal Pills to increase his Alchemy proficiency. Only when he felt he had enough skill did he begin refining the Advancement Nascent Pill.
The Advancement Nascent Pill primarily used the water and fire power of Spirit Beast inner cores, with Spirit Medicine to stimulate, catalyze, and neutralize them, condensing them into a special power.
Because it involved two extreme forces, control was extremely difficult. It was fortunate that Li Feiyu had powerful Divine Sense and abundant magical power to manage it.
Nevertheless, even so, the refining of this Advancement Nascent Pill took Li Feiyu nearly two months.
When the Medicinal Pills were released, there were three in total. Each one was reddish-blue, round and full, with an incredibly rich medicinal fragrance. Even a single breath gave a feeling of surging power.
"One High Grade Pill, two Medium Grade Pills."
"Not bad."
