In the turbulent waters, a mighty force thrust them into the sky shrouded in mist, landing after quite a while.
Li Mo packed away the bl**d of the Rift Sea Dragon Whale, planning to rush back and rescue Guo Jing, only to notice that she had seemingly transformed into her human form at some point.
Her muscular frame made her cheeks flush crimson:
“Wu Mo, you still love me deep down…”
“Not a chance!”
Ming Jiao, aka Little Li, pulled his thoughts back and struck a dramatic T-pose:
“For the unity of the Monster Clan, I simply won’t give up on any good monster!”
“Boss Mo is right!”
Wu Daming tried to clap, but in his true form, his two claws couldn’t quite meet.
Now, whatever Boss Mo said, he was all in for it.
Because just then, he realized how gentle Little Li had been when giving him a beating, even to the point of being careful…
“Boss, where are we headed next?”
“Let me think.”
Li Mo put away his hammer and pulled out a small map.
Hmm, perhaps soon the “Wukong Seeking Tao Diagram” would vanish and transform into a true divine form.
Before that happened, he wanted to thoroughly digest this incredible power.
Opportunities to absorb seventy variations of something this good didn’t come by often.
Having swiftly planned a route.
Sky Flood Dragon Little Li brought Guo Jing and Wu Daming along, and they zoomed through the waters following the investment route mapped out on the small diagram.
When it came to time management, Little Li was a genius.
He could always save a monster in the nick of time!
Too bad there weren’t any humans from the bl**d Phoenix Secret Realm around; otherwise, they’d probably find this all strangely familiar…
“Wuzhiqi? Why are the Celestial Divine Jade summoning such powerful true spirits?!”
“Let go of that female monster!”
Three pure monster goons came crashing down from above.
Guo Jing and Wu Daming shielded their injured companions, and with a few shout-outs from Master Li, they quickly got the job done before zooming to their next investment spot.
Leaving the saved monster in a dazed state.
Forget about the saved monster, even the observing monsters and Floating Temple monks outside were initially shocked into stupor.
After all, our extraordinary Sky Flood Dragon not only striked from the waters, he had even dashed into the adjacent Fire Realm.
Wasn’t he tired?
Why did he seem to have endless stamina? Too persistent!
To be this strong was already outrageous; to be strong and enduring could only be described as terrifying!
But gradually, their shocked expressions morphed into numbness, which then fell into contemplation.
Why was that?
“Why on earth is Wu Mo doing such a thankless task?”
“He claims he wants all monsters to unite, and won’t abandon any of them—could that possibly be true?”
“Is it… because he’s kind?”
“I, a member of the Qingguang Eel Clan, strongly suspect he has not only the bl**d of a True Dragon but might also have a hint of connection to our eel clan…”
“Baloney! He’s not a dragon morphing into something else!”
“I, a Tengu Clan member, refuse to accept that! He can accurately find other monsters; this is obviously our clan’s wind-tracking technique!”
“Quiet! We need unity!”
The Monster King and the great monsters were all quite moved, their hearts stirring with a strange, unfamiliar emotion.
The floating monks exchanged glances.
“Master, what are you looking at?”
Taoist Murong Xiao, now dressed in monk robes, asked puzzled.
“Amitabha…”
Heng Yuan sighed, pointing toward the Buddha statue in the grand hall.
“Are you suggesting we move this Bodhisattva and let Brother Li sit there?”
Murong Xiao chimed in with his interpretation.
Heng Yuan: “……”
What he meant was, while Li Mo wasn’t of the Buddhist faith, he was already performing good deeds—the very aim of their Floating Temple!
How did you come up with the idea to let him sit there as if he were the Bodhisattva?
Is it because you’ve done that yourself?
The old monk had meditated long enough to be silent, but these past few days had left him with a bellyful of complaints he wanted to spill out.
“He’s bound to be involved with the Jade Phoenix Divine, surely destined to reclaim the bloodline of the True Dragon, right? It wouldn’t be impossible for him to truly become the Southern Border’s monster leader.”
Wu Qing’s eyes brightened, excited as she pinched Murong Feng.
Murong Feng smiled weakly in response:
“Yeah, we don’t have to rush to reproduce.”
Half-monsters were extremely hard to conceive.
How did he end up with such a soul force back then…
“Wu Mo isn’t just powerful, he has noble bl**d; with this aura and ambition, he truly looks like a True Dragon!”
“If he later soars through the Nine Heavens, our Giant Whale Clan would gladly lend a hand.”
The Giant Whale Clan members, known for their straightforwardness, all thumped their chests in agreement.
Other monster clans fell silent for a moment.
Suddenly, one of the bird clan members asked:
“Speaking of which, what’s the Qingluan Divine Maiden up to?”
“Could she be at the Celestial Divine Jade’s lonely peak right now? Ready to grab the divine jade at any moment?”
Wu Mo was wasting too much time.
And so,
Shang Qin Qing smiled at the monk in white robes:
“Little monk.”
“…..”
The monk fell silent for a moment, then turned the celestial screen.
The next second.
“Hahaha, I knew it!”
Shang Qin Qing applauded, bouncing around like a former third-grade monster saint.
Down below on the celestial screen, the stunning woman, like a reflection in water, danced through the azure, causing countless true spirit projections to shatter as she passed.
Instead of rushing to grab the Celestial Divine Jade after finding the correct direction, she continued doing something similar.
…
In the Five Element Realm.
“He too must be doing something similar,” Ying Bing sensed the ever-filling Demon-Slaying Gourd cracking, her gaze seeming to pierce far into the distance.
If the gourd filled completely, it would be sufficient for her to coalesce the hundred bird phoenix deities.
But that relied on having the Jade Phoenix Divine in the first place.
When observing the divine intentions in the Observation Realm, she’d have no more worries; it was just a matter of time before the interior view was achieved.
Considering the system’s comparison, could she activate it once more?
Having accumulated enough true spirits, Ying Bing paused her thoughts, standing tall beneath the lonely peak.
Above her head glimmered the divine brilliance from the Jade Phoenix, yet she didn’t spare it a glance.
Still, she looked into the distance, as if waiting for something.
Monsters started to arrive one after another.
Among them were the half-monsters led by Zhiduo, clearly showing signs of a brutal battle—each one injured.
Upon seeing Ying Bing, their expressions fell momentarily in shock.
Had they not discussed this before?
If the True Dragon bloodline and True Phoenix bloodline clashed, they didn’t necessarily have to wait for both sides to be at d*ath’s door to take advantage of the situation.
After all, the strength of the true spirit in this encounter exceeded their expectations.
Yet looking at it now, at least the Qingluan Divine Maiden seemed completely unharmed, forming a stark contrast with their disheveled appearances.
“Hmm?”
Ying Bing’s cold gaze swept over.
Immediately, several half-monster demigods felt a sharp tension and hurriedly lowered their heads.
Then, they exchanged silent glances.
Uh-huh.
Looks like we need to stick to the original plan…
Other scattered monsters arrived, but including the Qingluan Divine Maiden, other massive half-monsters stood there, each one filled with alarm.
None dared to approach?
There must be some trickery afoot!
Thus, a strange scene unfolded.
More and more monsters gathered beneath the lonely peak of the divine jade, yet not a single one dared to step forward.
Monsters had their herd mentality too…
Half an hour passed.
Ying Bing, sensing the time, lifted her head and looked over; her clear, icy eyes suddenly lit up, shining almost like a spring sun melting snow.
The gathering monsters froze in shock.
They turned back, a startled shiver running through them, not daring to stand between the two sides.
Are you kidding?
What if these two clashed? They could become incidental casualties!
…….
P.S: Audience, did you see that? How formidable the electrified little beast became.
Please recharge; even the little fluff wants to be zapped, heh heh.
