However, after eating a bit, it would jump back into the sea.
On numerous such occasions, it could no longer hide its aura.
"This is... the Lady of Yuanci?!"
Wang Ba looked stunned, and he intentionally walked over to the giant Stone Lizard.
He clearly felt that an intangible force around the giant Stone Lizard was suppressing his mana.
Wang Ba was not unfamiliar with this force; it was the power of Yuanci that cultivators feared the most.
"But... how is this possible?!"
Wang Ba couldn’t believe it.
An idea passed through his mind, and he quickly used the Bloodline Identification Skill.
Immediately, to his astonished surprise, the giant Stone Lizard, which originally had only one type of second-tier bloodline, now had an additional one.
The color was chaotic, and without any doubt, it was the Bloodline Glory representing the power of Yuanci.
"What caused this? The flesh and blood of the Coral Dragon it ate, or the seawater it drank?"
Wang Ba was full of doubts.
He quickly used the Bloodline Identification Skill on the other Stone Lizards and Azure Spirit Turtles.
Surprisingly, apart from the Hundred Colored Stone Lizard and Thousand-eyed Dark Lizard, the bloodlines of the Double-headed Dragon and some Azure Spirit Turtles had some subtle changes.
However, the changes were not as pronounced as those of the giant Stone Lizard.
Wang Ba hesitated for a moment and looked again at the Mysterious Dragon Soldiers still gnawing on the Coral Dragon, only to be shocked to discover that their bloodlines were singular.
And this sole bloodline seemed to have reached its limit.
"The array and the dragon clan’s essence have purified the bloodline of the Mysterious Dragon Soldiers, but the price is that the potential of the Mysterious Dragon Soldiers stops at Class III... No wonder the ’Weapon Guide of Mysterious Dragon’ says that Mysterious Dragon Soldiers can only go as high as Class III..."
Wang Ba had a moment of realization.
He then cut off the remaining skull part of the Coral Dragon, put it away, and dragged a portion of the body that was submerged in seawater up to the island for the spirit beasts to gnaw on.
Thus, the spirit beasts speedily ate, and Wang Ba didn’t stop at all, dismembering the body of the Coral Dragon.
At the beginning, Qin Lingxiao still lent a helping hand, but after exhausting much of his mana and accomplishing little, he decided to sit on the side and watched the spirit beasts eat and evolve, while keeping an eye on Wang Ba with his peripheral vision...
...
This feast lasted for a full three days.
Wang Ba walked towards the huge skeleton that had been half hollowed out.
He looked at the more than a hundred Mysterious Dragon Soldiers that were originally coiled around the towering white bones and were now curled up together.
He frowned slightly, unsure:
"Are they about to undergo metamorphosis?"
These more than a hundred Mysterious Dragon Soldiers, after being refined again and having ample supply of Class IV top grade flesh and blood, had now reached the level of Class III upper grade.
As a result, they suddenly became listless, hanging on the bones one by one.
As Class III spirit beasts, they certainly couldn’t be sick.
After thinking it over, Wang Ba decided to carefully collect the Mysterious Dragon Soldiers together with the skeleton.
He then scanned the Stone Lizards and Azure Spirit Turtles, all of which had raised their rank to Class III middle grade, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
This banquet of spirit beasts was not in vain.
Afterward, he finally turned his attention to the giant Stone Lizard, the most eye-catching of all.
The giant Stone Lizard was now eight or nine zhang high, and its body length reached a staggering twenty or so zhang.
It was like a small mountain.
The other spirit beasts had basically eaten until they were full and had to withdraw because they couldn’t digest the food. Only this big fellow was still submerged in the seawater, tearing at the body of the Coral Dragon.
The aura on it had already surpassed the middle grade of Class III. More importantly, the strong aura of Yuanci around it was much stronger than that in the seawater.
If he got a bit closer, Wang Ba even faintly felt that the Five Elements Mana in his Mother Qi of Dharmas was slowly collapsing.
So Wang Ba had to drive it into the sea.
After all, it was as free as a fish in the water.
With the decrease of the flesh and blood on the Coral Dragon, Wang Ba did not find its Inner Core.
Perhaps it was due to the lack of spiritual energy in this place.
However, in its stomach, he did see the previous Ray Eel, which had been torn into several pieces.
For Wang Ba, it was quite a hefty gain.
Just then, the giant Stone Lizard, which was lying on the bones of the Coral Dragon, suddenly shook.
A wave indicating a breakthrough arose.
Wang Ba immediately looked at the giant Stone Lizard, and saw it suddenly jump into the sea, open its mouth, and rapidly suck in the surrounding seawater like a whale.
While sucking in, a large amount of seawater was also spat out.
However, Wang Ba keenly sensed that the seawater that was spat out did not seem to contain the power of Yuanci.
"Is it absorbing the force of the Yuanci?"
Wang Ba couldn’t help but show a thoughtful expression on his face.
And as it steadily continued to absorb,
The cheeks of the giant Stone Lizard gradually puffed up.
Above its head, a lump gradually began to form.
Soon, a horn similar to that of a Coral Dragon began to grow out of the lump.
The giant Stone Lizard eventually stopped this behavior and slowly crawled out of the sea.
This time, it was not in a rush to eat.
Wang Ba quickly walked over to the giant Stone Lizard, only to find, to his surprise, that the invisible force of the Yuanci surrounding it had completely disappeared.
"Did...did it disappear?"
Wang Ba instinctively looked at the giant Stone Lizard and couldn’t help but whisper:
"Fu, where is your Yuanci force?"
Although the giant Stone Lizard Fu was large in size, Wang Ba found it friendly, and thus, he had given it a name, Fu, not long ago.
Quite vulgar, but it was the limit of Wang Ba’s naming ability.
The giant Stone Lizard Fu tilted its head to look at Wang Ba, its eyes seemed intelligent...but not much.
Wang Ba had to explain for a while before Fu seemed to finally understand something and obediently called out.
The next moment, Wang Ba suddenly felt a strong force of Yuanci rapidly covering him!
In just an instant, he felt that he could not use the Five Elements Mana in the Mother Qi of Dharmas.
However, he did not rush Fu to turn it off and instead flew quickly to the outer area. 𝚗ov𝚙𝚞𝚋.c𝚘m
His Mother Qi of Dharmas was not of the Five Elements, so he could barely use it here.
It was only after flying for seven or eight miles that he finally felt he had left Fu’s coverage area.
"This distance, so far!"
Wang Ba couldn’t help being a little surprised.
What surprised him was that with the upgrade, Fu seemed to be able to control the release of the force of Yuanci.
If he encountered an opponent outside, once he suddenly used it, unless there was a large gap, the opponent would certainly be defeated.
Wang Ba quickly flew back, and Fu obediently took back the force of Yuanci. Looking at Wang Ba, the large hazel pupils seemingly curious, as if learning his every move,
Seeing Fu’s huge body, Wang Ba had a thought.
"Since Fu is not afraid of the force of Yuanci and can move freely in the sea, why not explore the area?"
"I remember we came from the geographical position outlet below this sea area."
Thinking of this, Wang Ba’s eyes lit up.
After looking around, he quickly stored the remaining half of the Coral Dragon’s body into his Storage Treasure.
Then he called Qin Lingxiao, who was somewhat dazed on the side.
"Let’s go! Let’s go to the sea!"
"Ah? Now?"
As though waking from a dream, Qin Lingxiao exclaimed.
Wang Ba couldn’t help but frown slightly.
This guy, why does he feel increasingly unreliable?
Has he not recovered from the previous shock of seeing the Coral Dragon?
Thinking about this, he immediately said:
"Then you wait here, I’ll go see first."
"No! I’m going too!"
Without thinking, Qin Lingxiao immediately refused.
Wang Ba hesitated a moment, then nodded.
With all the treasures he carried, he indeed could be of great help in case of any situation.
Soon, to Qin Lingxiao’s surprise, Wang Ba jumped into Fu’s mouth.
"Get in quickly, why are you hesitating?"
Wang Ba urged.
Looking at Fu’s large mouth and bizarre blue tongue, Qin Lingxiao instinctively wanted to refuse.
However, after a slight hesitation, she gritted her teeth and followed up.
Then Fu, carrying the two of them, quickly submerged into the sea...
