168: Demonic Outbreak

Soon, the first Tier 6 demon appeared in the Abyss. It was none other than the future Fear Demon King—Apollo.

Following his advancement, a large number of demons also broke through, successfully reaching Tier 6.

The Berserk underwent Evolution into a Berserk Demon, and the Slaughter underwent Evolution into a Darkborn Sword Demon; both demons reached Tier 6 together.

However, rapid advancement through feeding could only allow them to reach the peak of Tier 6; without comprehending the Laws, they could not break through the shackles of Tier 7.

Seeing this, Ye Chen ordered those Tier 6 demons to pause their feeding. Although continuing to eat could enhance their strength, it was somewhat too wasteful.

After all, there was only one corpse of the Leviathan; one couldn't just slaughter it again after it had been eaten.

He still had to consider the thoughts of the Abyss's top boss.

Of course, if they died in battle, that would be a different story.

After some demons advanced to Tier 6, Ye Chen teleported over ten million Worms.

Faced with the nutrient-rich Leviathan, these Worms were not polite at all, one after another opening their giant mouths to gnaw on it.

Seeing them eating happily, Ye Chen separated the most nutrient-rich piece to save for the Demon Dragon. After all, the Demon Dragon deserved credit for the successful slaying of the Leviathan this time.

Immediately after, he separated another large piece to save as a future reward, handing it over to the Abyss Will so other kin could exchange for it using Karma Fire.

These Worms' eating speed could not compare to the demons', so he let the Abyss Will supervise them.

Once a demon reached Tier 6, it would clear its spot for other Worms, continuing until the Leviathan's corpse was completely devoured.

Looking at the surging Tier 6 demon legion in the Abyss, Ye Chen was full of expectations for them.

In the future, they would be the main force in the Abyss.

At this moment, the Abyss Will informed him that Xiao Zhi from the Beast Taming World had sent another trade request.

This time, his trade item was a lotus seed capable of purifying bloodlines, and he wanted to quickly improve the strength of his own Kachi Dog.

Ye Chen did not have much interest in this lotus seed. The bloodlines of the monsters resurrected in the Abyss were quite pure already and did not need purification, but he still agreed to this trade request.

He couldn't dampen the young man's enthusiasm; only by letting him taste enough sweetness could the business be made bigger and stronger.

Ye Chen casually cut off a small piece of the Leviathan's flesh and tossed it into the spatial passage.

Afterward, he placed the lotus seed in the trading hall. The trading hall would become increasingly lively in the future, and, in the Nature of things, the more trade items, the better.

Even if he couldn't use it himself, there would always be someone in the myriad worlds who needed it; perhaps he could sell it for a good price.

In the past few days, a few more deals had been facilitated in the trading hall, but they were all insignificant, and he still hadn't obtained any world coordinates.

Ye Chen was not in a hurry; the abyss of desire was always difficult to fill.

...

On the other side, Xiao Zhi was waiting anxiously at the spatial passage.

At this moment, he was in the outer area of the Magic Beast Great Forest, holding an iron sword with a cold, piercing glint in his hand, while Kǎ Qí followed by his side.

However, its body had many more wounds, the result of fighting with some pursuers during the escape over the past few days.

Originally, after Xiao Zhi escaped from the academy, he thought he could fly far away. However, such a huge flaw had appeared on the academy's side that they were bound to capture Xiao Zhi and bring him to justice.

Thus, led by the patrol captain, they had pursued Xiao Zhi all the way here.

The patrol captain, through investigation, learned that Xiao Zhi wanted to escape into the Magic Beast Great Forest, so he directly set up an encirclement on the only path, preparing to cut off Xiao Zhi's retreat.

Xiao Zhi realized he could not turn back; wanted posters of him were posted in every city on the way back, and returning would be no different than walking right into a trap.

However, the road ahead was blocked, and his own strength was not enough to break through the encirclement, so he could only seek a trade again.

But he had nothing of value on him, only a lotus seed confiscated from a prick.

He had seen this kind of lotus seed in the rewards for the school competition; it could purify a battle pet's bloodline and was relatively precious.

There were originally two, and he had fed one to his own dog, but it had no effect at all.

Now, he contacted the God of Trade with the mindset of just giving it a try.

Because there had been a successful trade before, the God of Trade had left a mark on him, so this communication was extremely smooth.

He informed the God of Trade of his trade item and his trade needs, hoping to obtain an item that could improve his battle pet's strength.

The generous God of Trade agreed to his request and teleported over a piece of flesh the size of a human head, radiating a rich aura of pressure.

When this flesh emerged from the spatial formation, Kǎ Qí's eyes immediately widened, and a hint of greed and desire flashed in its eyes.

However, it restrained its desire and cast its gaze toward Xiao Zhi.

"Kid, you have good luck. I just received a Divine Beast corpse, so I'll spare you these scraps."

The voice of the God of Trade rang in Xiao Zhi's ears, but the content made his spirit jolt violently.

Upon learning that this flesh came from a powerful Divine Beast, Xiao Zhi's eyes went straight.

A Divine Beast—that was a creature from legend; each one possessed the power to move mountains and fill seas, and he had only ever seen them in books.

Now, a piece of Divine Beast flesh appeared before his eyes, and all he had paid was a small lotus seed; this gave him a surreal feeling.

This made him have to marvel at his good luck in being able to gain the favor of the God of Trade.

"Thank you, Senior. This junior will find high-value items as soon as possible to redeem my soul."

Xiao Zhi said firmly. As a person who was still considered upright, he did not like owing others things.

"No matter, no need to rush. As an old man, I have enough patience to wait for you to grow."

"In the future, if you have difficulties, communicate with me in time. Many things that are huge problems in your eyes are not worth mentioning in my view."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhi thanked him repeatedly, and his trust in this God of Trade increased by a few points in his heart.

"By the way, this Divine Beast flesh is relatively mild. Kǎ Qí can eat it directly, and it can improve its strength quite a bit."

"I advise you to let it eat it as soon as possible. Predators are on the way, and with your current strength, you cannot keep this meat."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhi felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly signaled Kǎ Qí to consume the flesh. At the same time, he held his iron sword and stood beside Kǎ Qí to protect it.

The moment Kǎ Qí received the order, it pounced and began to devour it ravenously.

This piece of flesh was a relatively tender part of the Leviathan, but for the Tier 2 Kǎ Qí, it was still very difficult to tear apart.

It didn't care about chewing either; it tore off a piece and swallowed it whole.

When the Divine Beast flesh appeared in the Magic Beast Great Forest, it caused a great disturbance. Some of the monsters in the outer area felt this scorching power and surged toward here like a tide.

Fortunately, this was only the outer area, and those that arrived were all low-tier monsters.

These monsters had low strength, but their numbers were not small. Soon, a few rabbit-type monsters nearby arrived first and rushed toward the Divine Beast flesh.

They had only one thought in their minds—devour it!
