Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

In the Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Monsters, in the Red Dragon Sea, there is the Fire Lotus Island.

Billowing black smoke billowed out of the crater, lingering over the island like a ghost. Lava rivers crisscrossed, hanging orange-red tassels on the dark rocks. The smell of sulfur filled the air.

Ao Fang was hanging on the crater, standing with his hands behind his back, his red hair draped over his shoulders.

The billowing black smoke swept over his iron tower-like body, as if it had a spirit, and everyone retreated away, not daring to disturb him in the slightest.

He lowered his head slightly and looked down at the crater below him.

In the seething magma, a red lotus with twelve petals floated up and down, about a foot in size, with a flickering light as if it were breathing.

Every time the light flashed, magma would rush out of the crater angrily, turning into a lava river, flowing slowly down the hillside.

Next to Ao Fang stood a middle-aged monk who looked to be around forty years old, with an ugly and sinister appearance. He was wearing a cloak made of red feathers and was only as tall as Ao Fang's chest.

Ao Fang stared at the twelve-petal red lotus in the magma and suddenly said, "Fellow Daoist Luan, is Kun Feng still hiding in Beiming Island and not moving an inch?"

The sinister man whispered, "Yes, I sent people to monitor Beiming Island at all times. The Kunyu Clan did not drive them away, but we never found any trace of Kunfeng. It seems that he wants to survive the transformation thunder tribulation on Beiming Island and then leave the island."

Ao Fang's eyes turned cold. "Kunfeng, you are so bold that you dared to attack my only son. Did he think that I can't do anything to him if he hides in Beiming Island? Fellow Daoist Luan, you will accompany me tomorrow to flatten Kuntong's Lengfeng Island!"

The sinister man was startled and hurriedly advised: "Fellow Daoist Ao, this matter needs to be considered carefully. Kun Feng killed nephew Ao Hui, it was just a matter between the younger generation."

"Kun Tong has publicly apologized to my Chi Jiao lineage and presented four kinds of top-grade spiritual materials and ten thousand-year-old spiritual herbs as an apology. It is only natural for us to hunt down Kun Feng, but we cannot touch Kun Tong."

“Otherwise, we will completely break off relations with the Kunyu Clan, sparking a war between the two clans. This will inevitably cause turmoil in the entire Ten Thousand Monsters Sea, allowing the human race to benefit from it!”

"Hmph!" Ao Fang snorted coldly, and the boiling magma in the crater suddenly calmed down. The billowing black smoke solidified in the air. The twelve-petal red lotus seemed to be frightened, and the petals closed together and quietly sank into the magma.

"Could it be that my only son died in vain at the hands of Kun Feng?" Ao Fang said word by word.

The sinister man said, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Ao. As far as I know, Kun Feng has not yet been to the Ten Thousand Feet Abyss, and he is not far from overcoming the thunder tribulation of transformation."

"If he can't go to the Ten Thousand Feet Abyss to temper his body and be baptized by the spatial ripples before he passes the tribulation, he won't be able to fully tap the potential in his bloodline. We can take action while he's in the Ten Thousand Feet Abyss."

When Ao Fang heard the words "Ten Thousand-foot Abyss", his expression became unusually serious: "Kun Feng has mastered the art of teleportation before he has even passed the tribulation. His bloodline is so pure that it is rare in ten thousand years. Would he risk his life and leave Beiming Island to go to the Ten Thousand-foot Abyss?"

The sinister man said: "If it were anyone else, they would definitely stay on Beiming Island and wait for the calamity."

"But Kunfeng is different. His bloodline is so pure that he is highly valued by the Kunyu clan."

"In order to protect him, Kun Tong did not hesitate to lose face in public, apologize to our Red Dragon Clan, and give up a large area of ​​sea as compensation for secretly supporting Ao Bo and causing trouble for the Dragon Clan."

"In my opinion, the Kunyu clan has already regarded Kunfeng as the next generation of clan leader and has devoted all their efforts to training him. How can they sit back and watch him go through the transformation thunder tribulation without going to the abyss of the sea, wasting some of his potential in vain?"

"You mean, the Kunyu clan will help Kunfeng go to the abyss before he overcomes the tribulation?" Ao Fang raised his eyebrows, and the mirror-like calmness of the magma in the crater was broken, rippling slightly, and it came back to life.

The sinister man nodded: "Yes, I predict that the Kunyu clan will definitely send Kunfeng to the Wanzhang Sea Abyss. We will set up an ambush outside the Wanzhang Sea Abyss in advance to kill him. We will definitely be able to avenge nephew Ao Hui!"

"The abyss..." Ao Fang frowned, a rare flash of fear in his eyes, "We can't set an ambush outside the abyss, so let's set an ambush on the road leading to the abyss from Beiming Island."

The sinister man was startled and puzzled, but he knew Ao Fang. Once he had spoken, he would not tolerate disobedience. He immediately agreed, "Alright, set up an ambush along the way and catch them by surprise. We should be able to succeed in one fell swoop."

Ao Fang said: "Kun Feng is about to pass the tribulation, and he may leave Beiming Island at any time. We should leave tomorrow without delay."

"However, our clan has accepted compensation from the Kunyu clan, so we should not interfere in this matter. This is the business of our Red Dragon clan. I ask Fellow Daoist Luan to gather some people, and I will go find my second brother."

"This trip must succeed, not fail. We must kill Kun Feng. This is to avenge Ao Hui, but also to strangle him in advance. We must not let a great demon of divine transformation appear in the Kunyu clan and unify the Ten Thousand Demon Sea!"

"Don't worry, Brother Ao, I will leave this matter to Luan!" The sinister man clasped his fists and bowed, then turned around and flew down the volcano.

Ao Fang also turned and left. The magma in the crater had begun to boil and tumble again at some point, with black smoke billowing out and lingering around. A twelve-petal red lotus quietly emerged from the surface of the magma, and the petals spread out, flashing with spiritual light, floating up and down.

……

Somewhere in a remote sea area in the Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Monsters.

It was late at night, the night was pitch black, the moon was dim and the stars were sparse, and the sea was calm with only slight waves.

A dim light passed across the sea, silently and without a trace.

Suddenly, the calm sea surface was broken, a dorsal fin pierced the sea surface, like a cutter cutting through rice paper, splashing waves, and swam rapidly towards the escaping light. The escaping light faded, revealing the figure of a monk, suspended in the air.

This person wore an exquisite mask hollowed out with gold threads, which covered the upper half of his face. He was dressed in moon-white clothes, had a tall and slender figure, and had an extraordinary temperament. It was Chen Yuan who had dived into the Sea of ​​Monsters.

He looked at the dorsal fin that was rushing towards him, breaking through the sea surface, with a calm look.

Finally, the dorsal fin came to Chen Yuan. With a loud splash, a huge shadow jumped out of the sea, opened its bloody mouth, and pounced towards Chen Yuan!

The moonlight in the sky was dim and the stars were sparse, but Chen Yuan could still clearly see the true face of the shadow.

This is a giant shark several meters long, covered with iron-gray scales, and its bloody mouth is full of fangs that flash with a cold white light.

Its huge body was wrapped in a layer of blue light, and a strong demonic aura emanated from it. It was a level seven demon beast. When it swooped down, its speed was extremely fast, comparable to that of a magic weapon.

Chen Yuan did not dodge or evade, but rushed forward and punched out!
A hint of cruelty flashed in the giant shark's deep green eyes. The blue light around it became more intense, and its speed increased a bit.

This person not only did not retreat, but dared to rush forward. He was really courting death.

The next moment, two figures with huge differences collided with each other. With a bang, the giant shark was hit on the head by Chen Yuan's punch, and its proud strength was completely at a disadvantage.

At the same time, a layer of snow-white frost quickly spread, freezing most of the giant shark's body.

Chen Yuan raised his hand and grabbed it. Fu Hai Ge appeared out of thin air above the giant shark. With a light wave, a huge blue light blade shot out, cut through the ice, and pierced deeply into the giant shark's body, ending its life in an instant.

The giant shark's huge body fell into the sea. Chen Yuan flashed and came under the giant shark. He raised his left hand and easily held up the giant shark.

He pointed his right hand and the Sea Spear fell. The long spear body became light and agile at this time, and it gently scratched the giant shark's body and peeled off all of its blue shark skin.

Then he swung Fu Hai Ge lightly, cutting off hundreds of iron-gray scales and the sharp teeth of the dorsal fin, and took out a fist-sized blue demon pill, all of which were put into the mustard seed ring by Chen Yuan.

After doing all this, Chen Yuan threw the giant shark's body into the sea. The blood spread, dyeing the sea water within a radius of dozens of feet dark red.

Countless low-level monsters and unintelligent sea beasts gathered and devoured the giant shark's flesh and blood.

Chen Yuan smiled slightly, and with a flash of light, he continued to fly eastward.

The Megalodon has a mediocre bloodline and is average in strength among the seventh-level monsters. It can’t even last more than two rounds in his hands.

Two hours later, a faint light appeared in the eastern sky. Chen Yuan immediately slowed down his escape speed, dived into the sea, and slowly landed on the seabed a thousand feet deep.

This was an underwater mountain range, pitch black and lightless. He spread out his spiritual sense, and everything within a radius of more than forty miles was under his control.

After his cultivation level was raised to the late Jindan stage, Chen Yuan's range of spiritual awareness expanded by ten miles, surpassing that of Jindan cultivators of the same level. In addition, the continuous strengthening of his spiritual awareness by the starlight infusion made his perception range even farther.

He bent his body and came to a cave. He entered the cave and sat cross-legged, feeling the weak squeezing force. He slowly closed his eyes, withdrew his consciousness, and restrained his breath.

At this time, nearly nine months had passed since Chen Yuan left the Rocky Sea.

According to the map, he flew all the way to the east, hiding during the day and coming out at night. He only traveled at night and dived into the sea during the day to hide his tracks.

As a result, his flying speed would naturally not be fast.

Sometimes they had to avoid the sea areas where the transformed demon kings lived as marked on the map. It took them nine months to finally cross most of the Ten Thousand Demons Sea.

However, his luck was also very good. He did not encounter any transformed monsters along the way, and he had never encountered even the royal family of monsters.

He encountered thirteen level seven monsters that were as big as giant sharks, in addition to nine level six monsters and six level five monsters, all of which he killed easily.

Chen Yuan was already extremely careful, hiding during the day and coming out at night, always spreading his spiritual awareness when he flew.

But there are always some monsters that have extremely unique innate magical powers, or extremely strong hiding abilities, or extremely strong perception abilities, and can discover Chen Yuan's traces.

Some of those with fierce temperaments would take the initiative to catch up and give Chen Yuan all their demon pills and the scales, skin, tendons and shells that had been nurtured with their demon power for hundreds of years.

Chen Yuan meditated and practiced his skills in the underwater mountains until night fell, then he left the sea and flew eastward.

A month later, his mustard ring contained the demon pill and feather claws of a seventh-level wind phoenix, and he finally crossed the sea of ​​​​ten thousand monsters and arrived at the abyss marked on the map. (End of this chapter)
