350: Entering the Demonic Sea

While Mu Feng was investigating Han Yuyan's information, Han Yuyan's refining process was also completed.

As her eyes opened, all the surrounding cold Qi was drawn back into her body.

With the cold Qi entering her body, her entire Aura improved significantly.

It seemed that besides learning the new Divine Ability, Five-Colored Ice Flame, she had also gained many other improvements.

"Why are you looking at me?"

"Is there something on my Face?"

As soon as Han Yuyan opened her eyes, she saw Mu Feng scrutinizing her body.

Her pretty Face couldn't help but flush.

She subconsciously touched her cheek to see if there was any dirt on her Face.

"Hahaha, no."

"I was just marveling at how much your Aura improved after absorbing this Cold Essence."

"It seems you benefited greatly."

Mu Feng chuckled, not shying away from the fact that he was looking at her.

"I did improve quite a bit this time."

"But I still have to thank you, Mu Feng, for the Cold Essence Jade Box."

Hearing Mu Feng say this, a hint of disappointment flashed across Han Yuyan's Face.

However, when she spoke of her Cold Essence's improvement, her Face became radiant with smiles again.

It was clear how much this Cold Essence had helped her.

"You're welcome."

"Let's go."

"It's time to leave this underground palace."

Both of them had already refined and mastered their new Magic Treasure and new Divine Ability.

If they left now, even if they were unlucky enough to encounter that Devil Head, they should be able to deal with him together without a problem.

"Okay!"

Han Yuyan nodded obediently, then followed Mu Feng's steps, returning upwards.

[Actually, this underground palace has a teleportation exit, you don't need to go back the way you came.]

Mu Feng, who was about to return, stopped his steps when he saw the red prompt appear before his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing this, Han Yuyan asked curiously.

Mu Feng did not rush to answer Han Yuyan's words, but instead communicated with the System in his Sea of Consciousness.

"Is there a Formation here?"

"Where does it lead?"

[It should be inside the Demon Abyss Sea. This underground palace is built around the Demon Abyss Sea, and the teleportation gate exit is in a small Secret Realm within the Demon Abyss Sea. Aren't you going to upgrade your Lifebound Treasure? There are a lot of Advanced Demonic Beasts and Demonic Creatures there, so it should meet your requirements.]

"Inside the Demon Abyss Sea?"

"Lots of Advanced Demonic Beasts and Demonic Creatures!"

Seeing that the teleportation exit had Demonic Beasts and Demonic Creatures for him to level up his Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Sword, Mu Feng's eyes lit up.

The battle with the Silver-Winged Yaksha had also made him realize that his Lifebound Treasure was still not quite enough when facing a Nascent Soul Old Monster.

The reason for this was simply that his Lifebound Treasure was only an Advanced Magic Treasure.

When fighting Core Formation Yao Beasts earlier, Mu Feng hadn't noticed.

But when facing transformed Yao Beasts or some transformed monsters, the Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Sword seemed a bit lacking.

It no longer had the pleasure of cutting through enemies like cutting melons and vegetables, as it did when it was first forged and used to kill Core Formation Yao Beasts.

And he was now also close to advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm.

In the future, his opponents would likely be primarily Nascent Soul cultivators.

Therefore, the improvement of his Lifebound Treasure was imperative.

Otherwise, it could easily be replaced by other powerful Magic Treasures while he was using it.

"Hmm, I just found out, thankfully there's a teleportation Formation in this underground palace to leave, so we don't have to go back to the entrance."

After learning the location of the teleportation gate's exit, Mu Feng turned to answer Han Yuyan's question.

"There's a Formation here?"

"Where does it lead?"

As soon as Han Yuyan heard Mu Feng say there was a Formation, she subconsciously asked about its exit.

It was clear that she was quite cautious.

"I don't really know about that."

"But it's so close to the Demon Abyss Sea, so it should probably teleport us inside."

"I heard that the man-eating Demonic Creature is near us, so returning the same way might be more dangerous."

"Why don't we just use the teleportation Formation to leave?"

To be honest, although Mu Feng was no longer afraid of that Demonic Creature, he felt that if he could avoid it, he should try his best to avoid it.

He didn't want to do such a thankless task.

This Trial Tournament was so dangerous; if he got injured because of it, it would be a huge loss.

He might even be targeted by people with ill intentions.

"Teleporting to the inside of the Demon Abyss Sea?"

"That works too, I can just test the power of my new Divine Ability!"

Han Yuyan had not originally intended to enter the Demon Abyss Sea.

When she came in, she had heard others say that the Demon Abyss Sea was one of the most dangerous places in the entire Trial Tournament.

Demonic Creatures ran rampant inside.

With her strength at the time, entering would have been certain death.

But now, her Cultivation Realm, Cultivation Technique, and Divine Ability had all greatly improved, so it was naturally a different story.

Of course, her greatest confidence in daring to enter the Demon Abyss Sea was still because of Mu Feng beside her.

She had witnessed Mu Feng's previous strength.

He had almost single-handedly slain the Silver-Winged Yaksha, who was close to the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul.

Now that he had taken the Jade Box and absorbed the Yaksha's essence, Mu Feng's strength would only be greater.

Therefore, following Mu Feng was the safest course of action.

Moreover, she felt that Mu Feng's character was quite good, and most importantly, he was handsome.

Who doesn't love handsome men and beautiful women?

Of course, such words naturally couldn't be spoken aloud.

After all, she also had her Face to maintain.

"Then let's go."

Seeing Han Yuyan agree, Mu Feng immediately followed the route suggested by the System, taking one person and one pet, and heading towards the location of the teleportation Formation.

The few of them moved very quickly.

In a short while, Mu Feng led Han Yuyan to a hidden corner.

"Whoosh!"

As Mu Feng flicked his palm, a ball of flame shot out, instantly illuminating the dark underground palace.

As the light appeared, a dilapidated teleportation Formation appeared before the two of them.

"Not bad, it seems it can still be used."

Mu Feng checked it, confirming that the teleportation Formation was merely lacking Spirit Stones and not damaged, then began to take out High-Grade Spirit Stones from his person and arrange them at each teleportation point.

His current fortune was decent, so these few High-Grade Spirit Stones were naturally not a concern.

After a period of busy work, the originally abandoned and dim teleportation Formation lit up again.

This made Han Yuyan next to him feel that Mu Feng was incredibly reliable.

She just needed to follow along and benefit.

"Don't stare, let's go."

Activating the teleportation Formation, Mu Feng called out to Han Yuyan and the Little Lizard.

After both of them entered, Mu Feng placed the last High-Grade Spirit Stone into the teleportation Formation.

Immediately, a large amount of blue light illuminated the front of the Formation.

When the blue light reached its Peak, the two of them felt a flash before their eyes.

Their bodies left the underground palace's teleportation Formation and appeared in a gloomy valley.

Needless to say, this should be the inside of the Demon Abyss Sea that the System mentioned.

He turned his head and saw that the Little Lizard had also teleported over, then Mu Feng released his Divine Sense to probe the surrounding environment.

"It really is inside the Demon Abyss Sea, there are so many Demonic Creatures."

As soon as his Divine Sense was released, a large number of Demonic Creatures and Demonic Beasts of various forms appeared within his detection range.

It seemed their teleportation had no problems, which put Mu Feng at ease.

[Ahead are several unique spiritual plants of this place. You can go and pick some. They are all medicinal ingredients that you might need for Alchemy after reaching the Nascent Soul Realm.]

Just as he retracted his Divine Sense, a message with a spiritual plant prompt appeared before him.

"Unique spiritual plants?"

"OK!"

Mu Feng had originally intended to directly go and grind monsters to upgrade his Lifebound Treasure.

However, since there were spiritual plants now, he would naturally go and pick them first.

"Fairy Han, do you want to come with me to pick spiritual plants, or do you want to explore on your own?"

Before leaving, Mu Feng turned to ask Han Yuyan beside him.

"This place is dangerous, I'd rather stay with you."

She had also released her Divine Sense to check earlier and found that there were Rank six and seven Advanced Demonic Creatures and Demonic Beasts nearby.

With her current strength, self-exploration would likely not withstand the attacks of these Demonic Creatures.

Mu Feng had also asked because he noticed this problem.

Actually, he preferred to act alone.

"Alright, then let's go."

"When I released my Divine Sense just now, I found many spiritual plants on the other side of the valley."

"We can go and pick some."

Mu Feng presented the System's prompt as something he discovered with his Divine Sense, otherwise, it would be hard to explain how he knew there were spiritual plants nearby.

"Okay."

"Anyway, I'll just follow behind you and pick up the scraps that the number one on the points leaderboard doesn't want."

Han Yuyan teased.

When she was in seclusion refining the Cold Essence earlier, she had also glanced at the points leaderboard.

And she discovered something incredible: Mu Feng was actually in first place on the points leaderboard, and he seemed to be far ahead of the second place.

At first, she was quite shocked, but then she thought of Mu Feng's unfathomable strength, and everything seemed reasonable again.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to only find out now."

"I thought you already knew."

Listening to Han Yuyan's teasing tone, Mu Feng chuckled.

He had been in first place on the points leaderboard for a day or two now.

He had thought Han Yuyan already knew, but he didn't expect her to have just found out.

"I just found out when I was refining the Cold Essence."

"At first, I was quite surprised, but then I thought of your strength and felt it was normal."

"I heard that the team reward for this is distributed according to the world we're in. Whether we can get a share depends on you."

Han Yuyan playfully stuck out her tongue, showing no hint of her usual aloofness.

If those who admired her saw this playful side of her, they would surely be greatly astonished.

"Hahaha, I'll do my best."

"Let's go."

Mu Feng laughed heartily, then led the Puppet Lizard towards the opposite mountain.

When Mu Feng first heard the name Demon Abyss Sea, he thought it was a sea area surrounded by Devilish Qi.

But after entering, he realized it seemed to be just a huge gray mountain range.

Perhaps calling it Demon Abyss Mountain would be more fitting, Mu Feng thought to himself.

Crossing the mountain, the two people and one pet arrived at a Spiritual Plant field covered in various shades of gray, intertwined Spiritual Plants.

The quantity and variety of Spiritual Plants here were abundant.

Mu Feng released his Divine Sense to investigate and found that the only Demonic Beast guarding the Spiritual Plants nearby was a Rank seven Demonic Tiger.

He then relaxed.

With his current strength, as long as he didn't encounter a large number of transformed Demonic Creatures, there would be no problem.

"Roar!"

The Demonic Tiger was quite agile; as soon as Mu Feng released his Divine Sense, it discovered him.

After a roar, it charged directly towards the two of them.

Just as Mu Feng was about to casually deal with it, Han Yuyan suddenly volunteered from the side, "Um, can I fight it? I want to test the power of my new Divine Ability."

She had just learned the new Divine Ability, Five-Colored Ice Flame.

It was said that she could fight above her Rank with this skill.

So, when she saw the Demonic Tiger appear, Han Yuyan actively requested to fight.

"Of course, no problem."

Since she wanted to make a move, Mu Feng was happy to relax.

"Okay, then I'm going in!"

Having received Mu Feng's permission, Han Yuyan flicked her palm, and a pointed hammer appeared in her hand.

This hammer was none other than her Lifebound Treasure, the Glazed Profound Ice Hammer.

As soon as her Magic Treasure appeared, Han Yuyan pushed off with her legs and proactively attacked.

"Roar!"

Seeing Han Yuyan actually dare to attack proactively, the Rank seven Demonic Tiger roared, and a pair of dark, sharp claws swiped at her.

The claws were incredibly sharp and extremely fast.

If they hit directly, she would at least lose a layer of skin, if not die.

However, Han Yuyan faced the claw attack without dodging.

She met it head-on.

Seeing this, the Demonic Tiger showed a triumphant expression.

Its claws quickly reached for Han Yuyan's head.

However, just as it thought it could instantly kill Han Yuyan,

Clang!

When the claws were only a few head-lengths away from Han Yuyan's head, a Blue Light Shield suddenly appeared on Han Yuyan's body.

The light shield was thick and incredibly stable.

The seemingly fierce tiger claws, upon touching it, became like cat claws, losing all their power.

Seeing the ancient treasure Blue Light Shield take effect, Han Yuyan's taut nerves relaxed.

Her combat became increasingly confident.

She wielded the hammer in her hand with a powerful, wind-like force, looking incredibly formidable.

Although it wasn't the first time he had seen her use a hammer, Mu Feng still marveled at how she, with such a beautiful Face, fought with such a wild ferocity.

This contrast was quite interesting.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

After taking several hammer blows, the Demonic Tiger cried out in pain and retreated repeatedly, trying to avoid Han Yuyan's attacks.

But Han Yuyan had no intention of giving up.

While swinging the hammer rapidly, she also condensed a five-colored lotus flower in her palm.

The lotus petals emitted chilling Qi and had flames flickering on them.

It looked like her new Divine Ability, Five-Colored Ice Flame.

Seeing Han Yuyan unleash this killing move, Mu Feng also stopped what he was doing and carefully observed the power of this Divine Ability.

Come to think of it, he was only one Rank higher than her.

He wondered if he could withstand being frozen by this Ice Flame?

Seeing the Ice Flame, Mu Feng suddenly had this strange thought.

However, he immediately shook his head and chuckled.

He had the imitated Spirit Treasure Vajra Shield protecting his body, so he should be fine.

While Mu Feng was pondering, Han Yuyan's Five-Colored Ice Flame had already been unleashed.

With a flash, the Ice Flame transformed into a giant lotus flower, directly blocking the Rank seven Demonic Tiger's path.

The Demonic Tiger also seemed to sense the extraordinary nature of the Ice Flame and tried to dodge.

However, Han Yuyan gave it no chance.

She flicked her hammer, forcing it onto the Ice Flame.

"Roar!"

The Demonic Tiger had no choice but to open its mouth and release a large amount of pure Devilish Qi, hoping to use it to resist the Ice Flame's attack.

However, all of this was futile.

As soon as the Devilish Qi touched the Ice Flame, it was immediately ignited, turning into large black ice crystals.

Burning away the Devilish Qi spat out by the Demonic Tiger, the Ice Flame's speed did not decrease.

The Demonic Tiger still tried to dodge, but it was already too late.

The Five-Colored Ice Flame exploded a second before it could dodge, blocking all its escape routes.

With a "whoosh," the Demonic Tiger was frozen into a ball by the Ice Flame and fell from the air.
