Chapter Eighty-two Thousand Years of Yin Soil

  The cyan light on Yue Cheng's body was no longer true energy, but a higher level of aura than true energy. With the protection of this aura, Yue Cheng's defensive power had also increased significantly. Last time, Yue Cheng was injured by that fourth-stage demon beast, but this time he was confident in killing it.

  Half an hour later, the four of them arrived at the entrance to the underwater cave they had visited last time. The entrance was seven or eight meters high and also seven or eight meters wide. Inside the cave were huge reefs that were extremely solid.

  "It's you four again, how dare you come to my territory and be so arrogant." As soon as the four of them arrived at the cave, four magic beasts quickly rushed out. Seeing that it was the same four people from half a month ago, two sixth-stage magic beasts became enraged.

  Four of the magical beasts were two sixth-order Black Whales, with enormous bodies that were even longer than the Purple Electric Snake's true form. One was a fifth-order Nine-legged Crab, also with an enormous body that resembled a small reef in the sea, its defensive strength unparalleled. Even Tonnis' full-strength attack last time couldn't harm it, only enraging it.

  The last of the four-stage magical beasts was a huge shell, called the Five-Colored Magical Shell. Its thick shell had defensive power that was just as formidable as the Nine-Clawed Crab's. Last time, Yue Cheng had a headache from dealing with it and almost suffered a great loss.

  "This time, Grandfather, I'm here to kill this little fish." The Whirlwind Tiger let out a loud roar and swung his large knife fiercely towards one of the Black Fiends. Immediately following, the Purple Thunder Snake also whipped its long tail forward, striking another Black Fiend.

  The five-tiered demon beast nine-legged crab was naturally handed over to Tonis to deal with, and Yue Cheng faced the colorful magic shellfish again.

  "Here comes this move again." Yue Cheng's face changed slightly, and the five-colored magic shell opened a slit. A black **quickly rolled over. This black **had severe toxicity, and Yue Cheng naturally didn't dare to touch it carelessly. He hastily wielded his sword to dodge, and the yin-yang sword in his hand carried a huge sword aura that chopped towards the five-colored magic shell.

  The enormous sword-like protrusions seemed to have split the seawater into a cool, five-colored magic shell. The body was huge in shape, but its speed was extremely fast. It quickly closed the gap on its shell and hid inside, relying on its thick shell, even a fifth-tier magical beast would find it difficult to deal with it.

  With a "chi" sound, Yue Cheng's sword edge chopped onto the thick shell of the Five-Colored Devil Shellfish, but it only left a faint crack. This made Yue Cheng feel somewhat depressed. The Yin-Yang Sword was also a magical artifact, yet it couldn't inflict fatal damage on the Five-Colored Devil Shellfish.

  Endless sea surface from the seabed transmitted a mighty force, calm sea surface at this time because of the seabed reasons become turbulent, hundreds of meters high waves rose one after another, dozens of miles around the water monster had been scared away.

  The Tiger of Heaven and Earth was at an advantage against the giant black whale, thanks to the large knife forged by Yue Cheng in his hand. The situation with the Purple Electric Python was similar, as it faced a black whale covered in wounds from being whipped by its soft whip.

  With a "whoosh" sound, the two walls of water parted, and Tonis's sword edge fiercely slashed out a crack on the back of the nine-legged crab. A faint thread of fresh blood flowed from the back of the nine-legged crab, and Tonis felt a thrill in his heart, his attack speed increasing unconsciously.

  Yu Cheng and the Five-Colored Devil Whale's fierce battle, although Yu Cheng had the upper hand, the Five-Colored Devil Whale also suffered a series of cracks from Yu Cheng's Yin-Yang Sword. The Five-Colored Devil Whale was indeed covered in wounds, but it did not suffer any fatal injuries.

  "Unmatched Trouble Immortal Tower." Yue Cheng's hand formed a seal, and a one-inch-sized delicate golden small tower rapidly appeared in front of him, emitting golden light that rotated non-stop. The delicate golden small tower slowly grew larger, and the golden light on top also became brighter.

  The Supreme Confinement Immortal Tower has a total of seven layers, each with different powers. Inside, there is Yue Cheng's Supreme True Fire and several large arrays carved by Yue Cheng. Although Yue Cheng has only refined the first layer of the Supreme Confinement Immortal Tower for now, its power is already astonishingly shocking.

  Feeling the shock of the Supreme Confinement Tower in Yue Cheng's hand, the colorful magic conch quickly wrapped its thick shell tightly around itself. The shell also emitted a faint five-colored glow. It couldn't understand how the human in front of it, who wasn't even his opponent last time, had become so formidable in just half a month.

  "Go." Yue Cheng's hand seal changed, and the Wushang Kunxian Tower had already transformed to be about the same size as the Five-Colored Devil Whale. It then heavily pressed down on top of the Five-Colored Devil Whale.

  A loud "Ka" sound was heard, and the Tower of No Upper Bound suddenly felt like it had a weight of ten thousand kilograms, pressing down on the thick shell of the Five-Colored Devil Whelk. The shell actually cracked open with a considerable gap, and then the crack began to spread outwards. Threads of fresh blood also flowed out from the shell.

  The "Hiss" sound, the Supreme Tower of Tribulation was still growing in size, and in an instant, it had engulfed the massive Five-Colored Magic Shell into its first layer. Waves of Supreme True Fire began to erupt from the tower, and although the Five-Colored Magic Shell's defense was strong, it could not withstand the scorching of the Supreme True Fire. In an instant, a series of mournful cries echoed from within.

  Yue Cheng's handprint changed, and he made a gathering gesture. A dazzling fourth-grade demon beast inner pellet flew from the window of the Supreme Confusion Immortal Tower into Yue Cheng's hand, while the corpse of the colorful demon shell turned into a piece of ash forever left in the tower.

  "Quickly run." Facing the two sixth-order magical beasts, Black Whale and Violet Thunder Snake, who saw the strange tower in Yue Cheng's hand and heard the miserable cry of the Five-Colored Magical Shellfish, they were shocked in their hearts. Their intelligence was no longer inferior to that of humans, and they quickly ran backwards.

  "You two little fish, don't run away." Xiao Tianhu and Zi Dianmang rushed out one after another, and with great difficulty, they managed to gain the upper hand. Xiao Tianhu and Zi Dianmang were reluctant to let the two black whales go just like that.

  "Stop chasing!" Yue Cheng shouted to stop Xiao Tian Hu and Zi Dian Huang. Although they had the upper hand with their weapons, it was not easy to kill two same-level magical beasts. In his heart, the two black whales thought of running away, and here in the water, it was even harder to kill them.

  The Sky Roar Tiger and the Violet Thunder Snake reluctantly stopped their pursuit, for they did not dare disobey Yue Cheng's orders.

  "What, you think this little crab can escape?" Hoot and Purple Electric Eel had just stopped chasing the two black whales, but found that the nine-legged crab fighting with Tonys was quickly running towards them, planning to run into the sea area in front.

  "Boom." "Hiss" Xiang Tian Hu and Purple Thunder Boa attacked at the same time, but the agile Nine-legged Crab's defense was too strong, and with the wounds inflicted by Tony earlier, it couldn't withstand the simultaneous attack from Xiang Tian Hu and Purple Thunder Boa. Its entire body was instantly beaten into a meatball, dead beyond recognition.

  "Go, collect the thousand-year-old yin soil." Yue Cheng took the lead and entered the underwater cave, in an instant, a large pile of thousand-year-old yin soil was all collected by Yue Cheng. In fact, the thousand-year-old yin soil is useless for ordinary alchemists and artifact refiners, but it's different for Yue Cheng, its use is much greater.

  In the following days, Yue Cheng and Xiao Tianhu as well as Zi Dian Huang, Tonis launched a crazy attack on some fifth- and sixth-grade magic beasts in the deep sea. For a time, the entire deep sea was in chaos. Some higher-grade magic beasts all hid in the deeper part of the deep sea, while some third- and fourth-grade water magic beasts directly fled to the islands. Suddenly, many small teams were in trouble. Large numbers of third- and fourth-grade magic beasts landed on the shore, and those small teams were no match for them.

  As for the deepest part of the ocean, Yue Cheng didn't dare to go there. He heard from Xiao Tianhu and Zi Dianmang that there existed seven-stage magical beasts inside, and around those seven-stage magical beasts were many six-stage and five-stage magical beasts.

  Just half a month before the half-year deadline, Yue Cheng and others finally returned to the outer island from the depths of the sea, preparing to return to Zuo Xing Island. During this period, Yue Cheng became rich, not to mention the precious materials and spiritual medicines on his body, just the demon beast cores on his body were worth a sky-high price: over 400 third-grade demon beast cores, over 200 fourth-grade demon beast cores, over 60 fifth-grade demon beast cores, and even three sixth-grade demon beast cores.

  Yue Cheng roughly calculated the price, and just these internal elixirs could be sold for tens of millions of gold coins. Tens of millions of gold coins were only worth a few hundred Yue families, and even the Sima family, a major power on the Left Star Island, did not have Yue Cheng's current net worth.

  "Afterwards, I shouldn't need to go around looking for money to refine any more magical equipment." Checking over the gains of the past half year, a smile appeared on Yue Cheng's face. From now on, he could cultivate in peace, without being as poor as when he was in Li Ying Town.

  As for the harvest of this half year, of course, the vast majority is the achievements of Ao Tianhu and Zi Dianmang. With two sixth-order magic beasts and the weapons refined by Yue Cheng, dealing with those fifth-order magic beasts was naturally easy, let alone fourth-order magic beasts, which were simply *naked slaughter*.

  Later on, the higher-level monsters either ran deep into the ocean or hid one by one, which made Xiao Tian Hu and Zi Dian Mang feel extremely depressed.

  After half a year of tempering, Yue Cheng's cultivation had reached the peak of the early fetal breathing period, and Tonis' progress was also great, not far from becoming a 6th level magician, mainly due to Yue Cheng giving him some elixirs later on.

  Tunis himself was also working hard to cultivate, every day he would be bullied by Ao Tianhu and Zi Dianmang for no reason, his goal was that one day he could also bully these two magical beasts without any reason, to avenge himself.

  They're finally going to leave the deep sea, Ao Tianhu and Zi Dianmang are more excited than Yue Cheng and Tonis. The two have lived in the deep sea for decades and have long wanted to leave, but they were blocked by the invisible barrier of Lingjing Sect and could not take a step out of the deep sea, even flying over from the air was impossible.

  This time, both beasts ate the Hua Xing Dan and transformed into human form, allowing them to blend in outside the barrier. Thinking about the world outside, both beasts became excited.

  "It's been almost three years, Yi Qian. I'll go find you on behalf of Yue Cheng." Yue Cheng murmured, lifting his head to gaze at the sky.

  On the shallow waters of an island, six figures were surrounding and attacking five fourth-tier magical beasts. The five fourth-tier magical beasts were all extremely fast aquatic magical beasts known as water spirit snakes. Each water spirit snake was tens of meters long, with heads as big as a small elephant, coiling on the sandy beach like four small hills.

  Six figures were six disciples of the Lingjing Sect, among whom was Ou Yang Fei Qing, with a slender and alluring figure. The other five included two nine-star Douling, one ten-star Douling, one two-star Douwang, and one fourth-level water system magician.

  Such a strong lineup of small teams can be considered the strongest among all small teams, especially with Ou Yang Fei, a genuine fifth-grade alchemist.

  Under the siege of five fourth-order magic beasts, the six people were already at a disadvantage. The speed of the five magic beasts was too fast, and their defensive power was also very strong. Among the six people, except for Ouyang Fan and Er Xingdou Wang who were each holding off one water spirit snake and had not yet fallen into a disadvantageous position, the other four people were in some danger.

  "Miss, how can there be five water spirit snakes here? It's too strange." The two-star Dou Wang said to Ouyang Feng after repelling the water spirit snake in front of him.

  "Lately, I don't know what's going on, but four-stage magical beasts are everywhere." Ouyang Piao's breathing was rapid and weak, close combat wasn't her strong suit, facing a four-stage magical beast she was also struggling, her delicate face already covered in sweat.

  A "hiss" sound came from the long and sturdy but extremely agile water snake as it thrust its huge head, as fast as lightning, towards Ouyang Feng.

  "Puff" A scorching flame rapidly condensed in front of Ou Yang Fei's body, this scorching flame was formed by the beast fire on Ou Yang Fei's body. When the scorching flame burst out of Ou Yang Fei's body, it quickly transformed into a stream of ordinary flames shooting towards the attacking Water Spirit Snake.

  "Hū" Seeing Ou Yang Jian's body in front of the flames, the Water Spirit Snake's body suddenly shrank back. There was a thread of fear in its eyes.

  Ou Yang Fei's body had a beastly flame that was refined from high-level demon beasts, and the flames still carried a hint of residual aura from the high-level demon beasts. The Water Spirit Snake, being only a fourth-level demon beast, didn't dare to attack Ou Yang Fei again for the time being as it gazed at the flames in front of him.

  "Miss, we have to think of a way to get out of this situation." The Second Star Dou Wang said worriedly, if they continued to drag things on like this, it would be their own people who would end up suffering.

  "These few magical beasts are very powerful, and it's hard for us to escape." Ouyang Piao said, although the water spirit snake was afraid of his own beast fire, but he himself couldn't do anything about it. "Miss, look over there, that's Elder Yue." Er Xing Dou Wang suddenly saw four people walking towards them from the front, one of whom was Yue Cheng, who had recently become a guest elder of the Ling Jing Sect.

  "Elder Yue, please help us! We are disciples of the Lingjing Sect." Several disciples of the Lingjing Sect didn't know Yue Cheng personally, but they had seen his appearance before. As soon as they saw him, it was like seeing a lifesaver. They knew that Yue Cheng was the champion of the Alchemy Master Competition and his strength surpassed even their own mistress.

  "Master, it seems like someone over there is calling you." Xīng Tiān Hǔ whispered to Yuè Chéng.

  "The people of Lingjing Sect are here, it seems that Ouyang Feng is also present." Yue Cheng also heard the voice of the Lingjing Sect disciple and immediately said to Xiao Tianhu and the others: "Let's go over there."

  As a member of the Lingjing Sect, Yue Cheng was someone who couldn't be ignored. Moreover, he himself was also a guest elder of the Lingjing Sect, and when he had just arrived at the Deep Sea, several disciples of the sect were very polite to him, so he really couldn't find any reason to refuse.

  "Elder Yue, we are surrounded by these five demonic beasts, please help us!" Several disciples of the Lingjing Sect shouted loudly as soon as Yue Cheng approached.

  "Tonys, you and I will go to help them out, Xiao Tian and Zi Long won't need to make a move." Yue Cheng said after sizing up the situation.

  "Master, why don't you let us sell them? I can cut these few small snakes in half with one knife." Hu Tianhu said gloomily.

  "It's precisely because your strength is too great, that's why we don't want you to sell it." Yue Cheng still didn't want to expose the true strength of Xiao Tian Hu and Zi Dian Xiang, having himself and Tonis go help the Ling Jing Zong people was already enough.

  Upon hearing Yue Cheng's command, the two beasts did not dare to disobey and could only honestly stay aside and watch. Meanwhile, Yue Cheng and Tonis swiftly rushed towards the battlefield, each charging at a Water Spirit Snake to attack.

  A dense gust of wind magic power shook on Tony's long sword, and a huge sword edge slashed down from the air. While Yue Cheng did not rise with his sword, he stood on the ground with his hand also grasping the yin-yang sword, his true energy circulating, and a sword edge condensed on the yin-yang sword, pointing towards a water spirit snake.

  "Hiss, puff" almost simultaneously two light sounds came out, the water snake that was split by Tonis had a blood mouth with a depth of several points on its back, and the water snake that was attacked by Yue Cheng also had an extra blood hole in its abdomen.

  The two water snakes writhed in agony, their massive bodies rolling uncontrollably on the sandy beach, a terrifying green tongue darting in and out of their gaping mouths.

  "A fifth-level magician." Everyone's gaze was cast towards Tonis, who was suspended in mid-air. The aura surrounding him was unmistakable - only a fifth-level magician could possess such a dense aura. Moreover, with just one sword strike, he had cleaved a rift on the Water Spirit Snake's back, something that even a fourth-level magician couldn't accomplish.

  Feeling the gaze of admiration from the crowd, Tonis couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and with a swing of his long sword in hand, he launched another attack at the water spirit snake.

  With Yue Cheng and Tonis each taking down one of the Water Spirit Snakes, the pressure on the six members of the Ling Jing Sect was greatly reduced. Now, with four people working together to take down one snake, they had the absolute upper hand.

  "Once again, the Blazing Inferno Sphere." Yue Cheng put away his Yin-Yang sword and formed a hand seal. In front of him, a scorching hot flame condensed into a terrifying fireball, which emitted an aura that made one's heart palpitate.

  "What kind of attack is this, it's so strong." The Purple Electric Snake in the distance also felt a slight palpitation as it gazed at the Blazing Fireball condensed from the Supreme True Flame in Yue Cheng's hand.

  A loud, deafening sound of immense power erupted, and with it, the massive body of the Water Spirit Snake was sent flying by Yue Cheng. On its body, a terrifying flame was burning fiercely, crackling away. This was still Yue Cheng's first time using the Blazing Heavenly Flame Sphere after his cultivation broke through to the Fetal Breath period.
