Chapter 718: The Power of the Devouring Talent (2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Every expert who could reach the Star Platform was an outstanding talent who had cultivated for thousands of years. Unfortunately, they had now turned into Blood Beads. His figure disappeared. He came to a cave deep underground in the distance. He sat down cross-legged. Then, he took out the blood bead and began to use his talent to devour it. He devoured the energy in the blood bead like a whale. Almost instantly, he felt the power of heaven and earth mixed with fire.

Shen Ping could not help but feel ecstatic. The Devour talent could actually refine and absorb the understanding of the Dao of Heaven and Earth. It was really too impressive. In that case, he did not need to enter seclusion to comprehend at all. He only needed to kill other Star Platform experts.

“As expected of a strange beast talent! Every one of them is abnormal!” He was filled with emotions again. Be it teleportation, enhancement, the Pupil of Sea Beast, the Soul Parasite, or the current Devouring, any one of them could allow a cultivator to quickly rise. They were equivalent to a weakened version of the golden finger.

And now, it was all on Shen Ping.

Half a month later, he had completely absorbed the information of the power of heaven and earth in this Flaming Star Platform Blood Bead. Different from the Heaven’s Will Stone, his fire bloodline had directly broken through to the Star Platform level. This time, his lightning, wood, fire, and water elements had all reached the Star Platform level.

He still had three Heaven’s Will Stones in his hand. It was enough for him to breakthrough to the Star Platform with the remaining wind, earth, and metal. The other two blood beads were water and soil. Although he could break through, Shen Ping did not enter seclusion immediately and continued to accompany the women and set off from Tianshan to tour the southwest.

Every time they arrived at a prefecture, they would stay for three to five days, or at most ten days to half a month.

As time pa.s.sed, Nangong Yao and Ling Qing also let go of their bodies and minds. They were intoxicated by the vastness of the Great Xia Dynasty and experienced different cultures and customs, as well as various metahumans born from bloodlines.

Jinzhou, the southwesternmost prefecture of the Great Xia Empire. The territory here was relatively small, and it was adjacent to the Yan Country. Compared to the Great Xia Dynasty, the Yan Country was much smaller. Every year, they would pay tribute to the court. The strongest in the country was only at the Star Palace realm.

“I heard that there’s a very dangerous place in Jinzhou called the 18 Caves. Not only are there many demons inside, but even Star Palace Realm cultivators can’t come out. Should we go and investigate?” Ling Yu’er suggested.

This suggestion was immediately matched by Ji Ruyue. She was just feeling bored. Every day, she would travel around, having an even chance to eat meat and drink soup. She even had to queue up. Now that there was a fun place, she was naturally the first to be interested.

Lian Nishanghesitated and said, “That’s not good. Star Palace Realm cultivators can’t even come out. We’re all in the Star Realm. It s too dangerous.”

“What are you afraid of? Husband is here.” Ji Ruyue giggled and said, “Husband, is it okay?”

Shen Ping pretended to darken his face. “Of course… It’s a yes. With me around, nothing will happen.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruyue and Ling Yu’er beamed with joy. The two of them had stacked up quite a bit along the way, and so far, they rarely bickered. After all, other than stacking up, they had to enjoy each other’s seafood delicacy every time they quarreled.

Nangong Yao and Ling Qing also revealed curious expressions. If not for Shen Ping, they would definitely not have gone to the 18 Caves. However, Shen Ping was at the Star Platform Realm. Still, the two women still expressed their worries.

“If I sense any danger, I’ll take you away immediately.’

They rested for the night. The next day, Shen Ping brought them to the 18 Caves. There were a total of 18 caves here. Every one of them looked independent, but they were connected underground. Moreover, the deeper they went, the narrower it became. The stench became stronger. Clearly, it was the nest of the demons.

He did not sense it. It would be too boring to sense such a novel place again. After walking for about two hours, the aura of a demon spread over from the depths.

“It’s a Star Realm demon.” Lian Nishang’s face was solemn.

Nangong Yao smiled and said, “Leave this demon to me later.

Not long after, the group encountered a scorpion-type demon. Before Nangong Yao could make a move, Lian Nishang and Ji Ruyue had already killed it.

“Sister Yao, I’m sorry.” Lian Nishang stuck out her tongue. It was purely an instinctive reaction of a member of the Demon Suppression Division.

“It’s fine. There are still many demons below.”

They continued forward. As expected, they encountered one demon after another. Most of them were Cla.s.s 5, and a few were Star Realms. As for the Demon Kings, they did not see them.

“This cave is really quite deep. The deeper we go, the more pools there are. It seems to be the nest of water-element demons. There should be a Star Palace Demon Venerable of the demon flood dragons in the depths.” Lian Nishang a.n.a.lyzed.

Ling Yu’er smiled and teased, “Not only are there many pools, but there’s also some viscous poison. If you get infected, even Star Rank cultivators will find it difficult to deal with it.”

Ji Ruyue understood. “Among us, only Sister Nishang is comparable to this cave.”

Lian Nishang reacted and snorted shyly. “Sister Ruyue, why are you joking too? Hmph, if we’re talking about the pool, you’re not inferior either.” The girls exposed each other’s shortcomings and gradually arrived at the depths of the cave. The strength of the demon had also increased to the level of a demon king. Even Lian Nishang and Ling Yu’er find it difficult to deal with. Only Nangong Yao, Ling Qing, and Ji Ruyue could deal with them freely. Shen Ping stood beside them and had no intention of interfering. They walked for another four to six hours. The demon’s strength had increased to the Star Palace level, which piqued Shen Ping’s curiosity. After all, the overall strength of Jinzhou was not strong, and there were no special resources here. The guardian of the Demon Suppression Division was only at the mid-stage of the Star Rank, which could suppress an entire state.

And a Star Palace Demon Venerable had appeared in a cave. If he came out, wouldn’t he be able to directly sweep through the entire Jinzhou? He killed a Star Palace-level demon with a wave of his hand.

Lian Nishang, Nangong Yao, and the others stopped joking. Their expressions became solemn. Finally, they reached the deepest part of the cave. The venom here was enough to kill late-stage Star Ranks. Only by relying on the domain supported by Shen Ping’s bloodline and stars could the girls be safe and sound.

Roar!!

As if sensing the aura of Shen Ping and the others, a monstrous flood dragon with the strength of the fifth level of the Star Palace rushed out. However, as soon as it appeared, it was crushed into blood beads by the domain.

“This is…” He walked to the nest of the flood dragon. Shen Ping immediately sensed a familiar aura. “Beast Pattern Golden Fruit… No, it seems to be the essence of beast blood. And it’s purer than ordinary beast blood essence.” He looked at the blood pool that was about ten feet in front of him. He tried to devour and refine some. Immediately, the blood in his body boiled. The absorbed blood actually contained a huge amount of energy. It contained the information of the Dao of Heaven and Earth. Although it was only a trace, it still shocked him.

Even the essence of beast blood could only allow Beast Spirits to sense the fluctuations of the world. This blood pool could actually allow one to comprehend the information of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao. It was clearly a bloodline that was even stronger than the essence of beast blood.

No wonder a Star Palace realm demon could be born. Shen Ping guessed that this blood pool had not been around for long. Otherwise, the flood dragon would probably already be at the Star Platform realm.

“Could it be that the blood pool is the special resource that was born at the grand meeting that Elder Yan mentioned last time? If that’s the case, those peak Star Platform Realm experts who are sleeping are very likely to come out!’ He narrowed his eyes and pondered. The most important thing about the Emperor Realm was the power of heaven and earth. No other resources could help. Now that he had the blood pool, he could save hundreds or thousands of years of bitter cultivation. Those Emperor Realm experts would definitely fight for it.

“Husband, what is this?” Ji Ruyue could be considered knowledgeable, but she could not recognize what kind of resource the blood pool in front of her was.

Shen Ping shook his head. “I don’t know either, but this is definitely a treasure more precious than Heaven’s Will Stone. Each of you can absorb and refine a drop. Don’t be greedy. To you, one drop is the limit.”

“Yes, husband.”

Lian Nishang, Ji Ruyue, and the others immediately took a drop from the blood pool and sat cross-legged to refine it. In less than half a month, they had all improved by a level.

“Come, let’s leave.”

The blood pool was of great importance. He had to inform Chen Bin and Elder Yan immediately and get the Lizard Sect to investigate the blood pool resources with all their might.
