Chapter 73: Xiao Hei Awakens

  Little Meteor and Little Spring Day walked in the forest for more than 5 days after passing through the Hot Blood Mercenary Corps. Today is another sunny day, but the sun's temperature is very low, and there are cold winds blowing from time to time in the forest.

  It's now past 10 at noon, under normal circumstances, Little Meteor should be holding hands with Little Spring and identifying the surrounding plants. However, today he didn't, instead he and Little Spring floated quietly one meter above the ground, sitting cross-legged to practice their skills.

  They are not like this because they are really diligent. Cultivation is a matter of course, and Xiaoliu Xing naturally knows that he cannot be impatient and must take it one step at a time. Excessive diligence can sometimes have the opposite effect. So in general, he cultivates for a period of time and then rests for a while. Today is an exception because he feels that Xiao Hei has been asleep for more than three years, nearly four years, and will finally wake up!

  Just as they were leaving the Magic Beast Forest, Little Meteorite not only taught the two beasts the "Demon God's Secret" but also gave each of them a purple Xuan Yang Pill. Each Xuan Yang Pill, if fully absorbed, could increase one's energy by about 7,000 years!

  This is a pretty scary number, Xiao Hei can absorb it in less than four years and wake up, the speed is still very, very fast. Not only Xiao Hei, but also Xia Chun Tian said that Xiao Bai will also wake up soon. So the two of them are cultivating on one side while waiting for the other two to wake up today.

  The situation is not bad, Xiaoliuxing and Xiaochuntian did not wait for too long, about two hours later, Xiaoliuxing first felt Xiaohei's abnormality. Just in the previous moment, Xiaohei's body energy was fine, but the next moment, its body energy began to surge rapidly.

  Although he couldn't see it with his own eyes, through the contract, he could still fully sense all of Xiao Hei's conditions in the demon beast space. It was no different from seeing it with his own eyes. The medicinal power of the Xuan Yang Dan was constantly merging with its own energy as Xiao Hei continued to run the Demon God Seal, becoming a part of its energy. Then, following the original energy, along the route of the Demon God Seal, it returned to the starting point and was absorbed by its own demon core.

  The blue magic core inside it was also slowly growing bigger, rounder and more radiant through continuous absorption of the merged energy. Of course, apart from its magic core, Xiao Hei's entire body was enveloped by a cyan light, forming a cyan cocoon that tightly wrapped around it.

  That faint blue glow was initially very weak, but as time passed, it grew thicker and thicker until nothing could be seen of its body. The energy fluctuations emitted by Xiao Hei's body also grew stronger and stronger.

  Little Meteor's heart vaguely knew that Little Black might be advancing! Through Lao Lai, Little Meteor also learned that the demon beast was not born as a certain level of demon beast and would remain at that level for its entire life. Under certain conditions, they could still advance. It's just that such advancements rarely occur.

  The higher the birth level of the demon, the more likely it is to advance, because high-level demons have wisdom that is not inferior to humans, they can actively seek conditions for their own advancement, and low-level demons cannot. The advancement of demons and the promotion of human strength are the same principle, after promotion, the strength will be greatly improved.

  The little black was wrapped in the green light cocoon for about an hour, then the light cocoon began to fade and drilled into Little Black's body at a very fast speed. In less than 5 seconds, it all disappeared, revealing the Little Black inside.

  Before Little Meteor could rush to check what changes had occurred to Little Black, the eyes of Little Black, which had been closed since entering the Monster Space, suddenly opened. A green light flashed through his pupils, and then Little Meteor heard in her mind the thoughts that Little Black had come up with.

  Without hesitation, Xiaoliu Xing's mind moved and Xiao Hei disappeared from the monster space, only to reappear in the air just over 20 meters away. At this time, Xiaoliu Xing once again didn't have a chance to react.

  "With a whoosh, Xiao Hei flew directly into the sky at an incredible speed, leaving only a faint black bird shadow that was almost invisible to the naked eye. Xiaoliu initially estimated that even with his flying sword, he definitely wouldn't be able to catch up! Progress is really great."

  The trees in the forest here are very tall, and when Xiao Hei first came out, it was still in the woods. When it flew towards the sky, the branches that blocked its way were all knocked down, and many leaves fell off. Not only that, but also because of excitement, Xiao Hei made a loud cry while flying towards the sky. It was deafening. Fortunately, this is a forest, far away from the city, and there are no people around. Otherwise, it would have definitely attracted the attention of the strong.

  Xiao Hei's loud roar didn't scare the humans, but it scared all the other magical beasts in the forest half to death. Under Xiao Liuxing's expanded consciousness, within a five-kilometer radius, whether they were first-level low-grade magical beasts or sixth-level high-grade magical beasts, as soon as they heard Xiao Hei's roar, they immediately fell to the ground and trembled with fear.

  The little meteor did not use the power of the contract to forcibly bring back the little black that had already flown away. Instead, it allowed itself to fully experience the thrill of advancing. He could understand its feelings. So he looked at the trail left behind by Little Black's flight and rarely showed a smile.

  About ten minutes later, a strong gust of wind came, and Xiao Hei's huge figure suddenly appeared above the forest. And clearly reflected in Xiaoliuxing's mind. Before falling asleep, it was four meters long, with a wingspan of ten meters, but now its length is over ten meters, and its wingspan is twenty meters when spread! More than double the size it used to be!

  The change in the monster's body also means a change in its strength. Through contact with Lao Lai, Xiao Liuxing now has some understanding of the power of Tier 4 and below in the Divine Realm. When they first met, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai were both 8th-level monsters, or Sacred Realm monsters, but now Xiao Hei's strength has reached Tier 2 in the Divine Realm!

  It advanced two ranks in a row! Directly skipping over the first rank of the Divine Realm. Now, apart from its body growing larger, its fur had turned even blacker than ink, and it emitted a cold, metallic luster under the sunlight that made one's heart feel a chill.

  Apart from that, Little Meteor also discovered that Xiao Hei's originally fist-sized, uneven magic core had grown more than twice in size and became extremely round. This was what Little Meteor directly observed through his own divine sense.

  The Xuan Yang Dan contained 7,000 years of pure energy. Xiao Hei had absorbed over 5,000 years' worth, and the remaining 2,000 years' worth of energy was scattered throughout his body. Xiao Liuxing estimated that with this scattered energy added to Xiao Hei's physical strength, his defensive power would definitely increase by more than double.

  At this moment, Xiao Hei was spreading its huge wings and floating quietly in the air. Yes, just like Xiao Liu Xing, it didn't flap its wings and stayed suspended in mid-air. At this time, it had an arrogant expression on its face as it gazed around. The demeanor of a master was evident without a doubt; all that was missing was a big sign hanging from its neck with the words "I am a Divine-level Master" written on it.

  Xiao Hei was indeed extremely happy and excited. His parents were both at the peak of the Holy Rank, so he was born as a Holy Rank himself. In the eyes of other magical beasts, the Holy Rank was a super high-ranking position, but only they themselves knew that in the Magical Beast Forest, the Holy Rank could only be considered as a mid-to-high ranking position.

  In the Beast Forest, only the Divine Rank is truly powerful. It's said that the strongest ancestors of the Beast Forest are unparalleled powerhouses at the 8th layer of the Divine Rank. The beasts in the Beast Forest can't easily leave because of their own rules. With a straightforward and violent personality, it has tried countless times to break through its limits and advance to become a Divine Rank beast, but it has never succeeded, no matter how hard it tries. That is until it met its current master, a strange little master.

  In the Monster Forest, each monster has its own territory. The stronger the monster, the larger the territory. Of course, all of this requires you to fight for it yourself. Every day in the Monster Forest, duels occur due to territorial disputes. Many monsters die every day from these battles.

  And it often has disputes with the neighboring domains due to domain issues, and Xiao Bai is one of them. Although there is a requirement in the Holy Realm that no matter what happens, they cannot kill each other, but sometimes the situation is still very tragic. Especially since its strength is slightly weaker than Xiao Bai's, it loses every time, fortunately, it is a wind-type monster with speed as its forte, and can escape with minor injuries every time.

  However, in order to protect its own domain, it often goes to duel with Xiaobai. One duel can last for hundreds of years! The location of the battle between Xiaoliu and Xiaobai happened to be on the edge of Xiaobai's domain, so it was sensed by it.

  It initially thought it was Xiao Bai and other demons dueling, thinking there was an opportunity to take advantage of, so it quickly rushed over, only to run into Xiao Liuxing. After being defeated by Xiao Liuxing and under the threat of death, it formed a master-slave contract with Xiao Liuxing as the master. Originally, it was still unwilling, especially since Xiao Liuxing was just a child.

  However, when the small shooting star passed on the You Shen Jue to it and allowed its power, which had not grown for nearly a thousand years, to grow again, it was convinced! Then, after eating that strange thing given by its young master, it woke up from its sleep and suddenly broke through to the long-awaited Divine Realm! It couldn't help but feel excited!

  So as soon as it came out, it didn't even bother to greet its master, and went straight to experience its own strength. Not to mention anything else, just the speed alone was several dozen times faster than before! Several dozen times, ah, it had already begun thinking about how to teach a lesson to those magical beasts that held grudges against it when it returned to the Magical Beast Forest. Was it going to be a case of finding teeth all over the ground? Or finding teeth all over the ground?

  "What's the point of staying up there, hurry up and come down!", just as Xiao Hei was feeling pleased with himself, a voice suddenly appeared in his mind - standard Beast Language! According to Lao Lai's introduction, once a demon reaches the Holy Stage, it can change its shape at will. As for how much it can change, that depends on its strength, but shrinking its body is no problem at all. Some demons can even transform into humans!

  "Huh, Master, you can speak Beast Language?" Xiao Hei exclaimed in his rough voice while shrinking his body and flying onto Xiaoliu Xing's shoulder.

  At this time, it truly felt the terror of Xiao Liuxing. As a divine beast, it could only see that its master was an ordinary 4th-stage warrior! A 4th-stage warrior could defeat itself? Could sit calmly in mid-air like this? Not to mention a three-year-old child, even ghosts wouldn't believe it! This could only mean that the strength of its little master far surpassed its own!

  Is this still a human? How old is he? The little girl next to him is the same! It makes him speechless. However, compared to his master's strength, he has more important things to ask.
