Chapter 701: Chapter 701: Ye Feng’s Discovery, The Terror of Mutated Demon Fiends
“Sigh, Brother Flathead really thinks highly of himself!”
Ye Feng shook his head helplessly.
He gazed into the distance, looking towards the direction of Nanyan City.
“Since the route has already been established, it’s time for me as the Sect Leader to make an inspection.”
Ye Feng tore through space with his hands and stepped through.
Above Nanyan City.
An elegant and upright figure appeared out of nowhere.
The first thing he did was look towards the Purple Bamboo Forest in the city and noticed an invisible shield there.
“It seems to be a protective shield set up by the Sea Clan Heavenly Emperor, which also protects Nanyan City. It appears that this mysterious Heavenly Emperor-level powerhouse has the Human Race at heart, which is good.”
Ye Feng murmured to himself.
He did not know that this was a shield set up by Ling Yue with the Eight Elemental Sky Halberd.
Since Fox Da Hong and the others returned, they have been busy building Sea God City and had forgotten to report their encounter with Ling Yue, the “Honorary Elder,” to Ye Feng.
Quite coincidentally.
Ye Feng was not interested in this Sea Clan Heavenly Emperor.
He did not use the Wind Spirit Pearl to divine the future, and as such, he did not know that the person behind it was Ling Yue.
Whoosh!
Ye Feng flew along the established route.
Along the way.
He saw the Divine Turtle Island and the Old Sea Turtle, so he landed.
“You… Who are you?!”
The Old Sea Turtle stared at Ye Feng, who had appeared out of thin air, seeing a man of extraordinary elegance and bearing who looked like a mortal, but whose undeniable charisma simply could not be concealed.
“I am Ye Feng, the Sect Master of the Misty Sect!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the Old Sea Turtle involuntarily inhaled sharply, drawing in so much air that he sucked a large amount of sea sand into his lungs.
“There’s no need to be surprised!”
Ye Feng examined the Old Sea Turtle, “I see your bloodline is not ordinary, would you be willing to join my Misty Sect and become a Mountain Guardian Spiritual Beast? Don’t worry, you will still be in charge of guarding Divine Turtle Island, but you will also have access to the Spiritual Beast exclusive Technique “Demon Emperor’s Art”.”
“The… the Demon Emperor Art?!”
The Old Sea Turtle gasped again.
When it had submitted to Fox Da Hong and the other Spiritual Beasts, it had already heard that the Misty Sect possessed a special Cultivation Technique for Spiritual Beasts called “Demon Emperor’s Art”, which could enhance one’s bloodline and, when cultivated to the peak, one could become a Demon Race Heavenly Emperor!
Now, hearing that it could also cultivate this technique, it was naturally excited.
Ten minutes later.
Ye Feng added the Old Sea Turtle to the Spirit Beast Pavilion as a new Spiritual Beast and personally guided it in cultivating “Demon Emperor’s Art”. After it had some understanding, Ye Feng continued on his way.
After that.
Upon passing each station, Ye Feng would add its guardian to the Spirit Beast Pavilion and teach them the “Demon Emperor’s Art”, instructing them in their cultivation.
Half a day later.
In the Sea God City, at the City Lord’s Mansion on Sea God Island.
Ye Feng sat in the seat of honor, looking down at the fat seal that was respectfully kneeling below, and asked, “After cultivating “Demon Emperor’s Art”, how do you find your cultivation progressing?”
“Reporting to the Sect Leader, I feel full of energy and have finally touched the threshold of the Demon Emperor.”
The fat seal smiled broadly.
“Hmm.”
Ye Feng nodded, “Continue your cultivation! Strive to become a Demon Emperor of the Void Break Realm as soon as possible, so that you will have enough strength to guard Sea God Island.”
“Yes.”
…
After leaving Sea God Island, Ye Feng began a purposeful search over the sea.
He always felt that the Crimson Moon Demons at sea were completely different, evolving faster and posing a greater threat.
“This is strange.”
“Very few Demon King Level Crimson Moon Demons appear on land, but why are there over a thousand times more at sea, nearly encountering one or two every thousand miles?”
“This anomaly must have an explanation.”
Ye Feng murmured to himself.
Suddenly, he made a discovery.
Three hundred meters under the sea surface.
Here, there were more than a dozen Demon General Peak Crimson Moon Demons transformed from eelgrass, sizing each other up.
Splash!
Suddenly, they began to fight one another.
An hour later.
Of the dozen or so eelgrasses, only one remained; it had devoured its kin, successfully evolving from a Demon General Peak to a Lower Rank Demon King.
“So that’s how it is!”
“They can grow rapidly by devouring each other!”
Ye Feng’s expression changed drastically when he realized this.
If the Crimson Moon Demons only absorbed the Power of the Crimson Moon for their cultivation methodically, then their breakthrough speed wouldn’t be fast, and although they might start off alright, their subsequent progress would be much slower than that of cultivators.
As long as the Crimson Moon Gate was sealed, the demons wouldn’t pose a significant threat.
However, Ye Feng was shocked to discover that the Crimson Moon Demons could strengthen themselves by devouring their own kind.
This method could rapidly create powerful demon fiends.
A dozen peak Demon Generals could create a lower-rank Demon King.
And a dozen peak Demon Kings could, in turn, create a lower-rank Demon Emperor; beyond that, the process could continue in like manner.
It wouldn’t be long before.
In the depths of the sea, a Demon Emperor-level Crimson Moon Demon would surely be born, becoming a terrifying threat.
Ye Feng could easily crush countless Void Break Realm Demon Emperors with a wave of his hand, but that was because he possessed Quasi-Saint strength.
Yet across the vast Shenzhou Continent and the Boundless Seas, with their endless expanse and countless living beings,
In such circumstances, strong individuals like Ye Feng who are at the Quasi-Saint level are few and far between.
On average, not even one Quasi-Saint would emerge from a trillion beings.
Therefore, the Void Break Realm was already very powerful.
“This matter must be taken seriously,” Ye Feng said.
He did not wish to hide this concern.
With a flick of his finger, he transformed the scene he witnessed into a Divine Sense projection and transmitted it to the Jiaoyang Holy City.
In a quiet mansion.
Yuzhu was cultivating.
After advancing to the peak of the Void Break Realm and becoming a top-tier Heavenly Emperor-level powerhouse with the help of the Jiaoyang Ancient Saint, she cultivated even harder and determined the path she would take from now on.
“With the arrival of the Celestial Clan, the strength of a top-tier Heavenly Emperor is no longer sufficient; I must prepare to fuse two types of elemental energies to become a One-Turn Quasi-Saint as soon as possible,” Yuzhu murmured.
Suddenly, a wave of Divine Sense energy surged in front of her.
Following that.
A series of images appeared in the air.
In the sea domain, more than a dozen peak Demon General-level seaweeds were ferociously attacking each other, constantly devouring one another.
Eventually, a Demon King-level seaweed demon fiend was born!
“This is bad!” Yuzhu realized something and her expression turned to one of alarm.
She quickly formed a hand seal, and an unfamiliar sea domain appeared in front of her, albeit somewhat blurred.
The next moment.
The image expanded to reveal Ye Feng’s face.
“You received the Divine Sense projection sent by me, right?” Ye Feng asked, his expression slightly solemn.
“Sect Master Ye, where did you discover this phenomenon?” Yuzhu asked with a serious look on her face.
“The Southern Sea Domain.”
“Please send me the location.”
A few breaths later.
Rip!
A rift in the void appeared beside Ye Feng, and Yuzhu, with her graceful figure, stepped out slowly.
“Is this the place?”
Yuzhu looked around. “I’ve heard that the Divine Sea Dragon Empress comes from this sea domain, and she is within the Eight Elemental Seas Clan. I’m quite familiar with her. Should I inform her of this news?”
“The Divine Sea Dragon Empress?”
Ye Feng was taken aback.
He had some recollection of this Heavenly Emperor-level powerhouse, but he didn’t know her well.
“Forget it!”
“I plan to continue searching this sea domain to identify why the Crimson Moon Demons can advance by devouring their own kind. If we don’t find the root cause, we’ll only be addressing the symptoms, not the disease,” Ye Feng said gravely.
“Then… I’ll go to the Eight Elemental Seas Clan to meet the Divine Sea Dragon Empress and inquire about the situation in the sea domain,” Yuzhu said.
“That would be appreciated!” Ye Feng nodded.
Thus, the two split up.
Ye Feng continued to search for the cause in this sea domain, while Yuzhu flew billions of miles away, intending to visit the Eight Elemental Seas Clan.
…
Millions of miles away.
In a shallow sea domain where the average depth was only a few tens of meters and many water plants grew,
Rip!
A giant kelp burst forth with a formidable aura, swallowing dozens of kelp demons around it and successfully advanced to the Divine Origin Realm.
For the first time, a glint of intelligence appeared in its eyes.
