113: Lin Yao was stunned when he instantly killed a third-tier monster.

Above the East Sea Region, the winds and clouds were shifting, and dark currents were surging.

All the major top-tier factions were plunged into an unprecedented atmosphere of solemnity and oppression due to the shocking speculation about the "Spirit Transformation Realm."

However, all of this seemed to have nothing to do with that Tranquil Courtyard located in a corner of Fallen Immortal City.

Inside the courtyard, Mysterious Ink remained like a salted fish devoid of worldly desires, lazily coiled upon that bed made of thousand-year cold jade.

He kept his majestic dragon pupils tightly closed, his breathing steady and long.

He silently guarded the Cultivation Chamber that had long been completely isolated from the outside world, while simultaneously carrying out his boring yet comfortable... AFK grand undertaking.

Just at this moment.

A voice that was slightly reserved yet full of respect slowly sounded outside the courtyard.

" Mo... Brother Mo, are you here? "

Mysterious Ink's eyelids, which were as motionless as a mountain, lifted slightly.

It was Senior Brother Lin Yao standing at the courtyard entrance with a fawning smile, holding a food box that emitted an alluring aroma in his hand.

Seeing this, Mysterious Ink found it somewhat amusing in his heart.

This kid... he really had figured out how to play the game of worldly wisdom.

Ever since that night, after witnessing Ye Feiyan's terrifying Golden Core Peak cultivation, this kid's attitude toward him had taken a 180-degree turn.

Now, he was even calling him "Brother Mo."

" Come in. "

Mysterious Ink's magnetic voice slowly sounded.

" Hehe... Thank you, Brother Mo! "

Upon hearing this, Lin Yao felt as if he had been granted an amnesty; he hurriedly ran in, fawningly placing the food box in his hand before Mysterious Ink.

" Brother Mo, this is the 'Hundred Beast Feast' that this Disciple specially packed for you from the most famous 'Drunken Immortal Pavilion' in the city. Would you like to try it? "

Mysterious Ink did not stand on ceremony.

He opened his dragon mouth and took a gentle breath.

Inside the food box, dozens of delicacies made from the flesh of various Yao Beasts containing pure spiritual power turned into streams of light and vanished into his belly.

" *Hiccup*... "

Mysterious Ink let out a satisfied burp.

Immediately, his majestic dragon pupils, filled with a sense of laziness, fell upon Lin Yao again.

" Speak. Those who offer favors without a cause must be harboring ulterior motives. What have you come to find me for? "

" Hehe..." Hearing this, Lin Yao scratched the back of his head somewhat embarrassedly, a look of shyness appearing on his face.

" Well... Brother Mo, this Disciple does indeed have a favor to ask. "

He took a deep breath, finally gathering the courage to state his purpose.

" This Disciple would like to ask Brother Mo to take action and help me hunt a Third Rank Demonic Beasts. "

He paused, fearing that Mysterious Ink would misunderstand, and hurriedly added: " That Yao Beast is called a 'Ghost-Faced Fox.' Although it only has Third Tier Mid Stage cultivation, its body contains a trace of an extremely diluted Fourth Rank Bloodline. "

" My tamed beast, 'Whale Kun,' is currently in a critical period of Bloodline Awakening and urgently needs to devour the essence of some high-rank Bloodlines to serve as a catalyst! "

" But that Ghost-Faced Fox is too strong, and this Disciple is truly unable to cope with it... That is why I have the audacity to come and ask for Brother Mo's help! "

Third Rank Demonic Beasts?

Hearing this, a flash of understanding passed through Mysterious Ink's majestic dragon pupils.

He thought it was some major matter.

It was merely a single Third Rank Demonic Beasts.

To him, it was no different from an ant on the side of the road.

A piece of cake.

Besides, this kid Lin Yao seemed somewhat agreeable.

" Fine. "

He flicked his massive dragon tail and said indifferently.

" Lead the way. "

" Huh?! " Hearing this, Lin Yao was stunned at first, and then a wave of ecstasy surged into his heart.

He agreed?!

Brother Mo actually agreed so readily?!

" Thank you, Brother Mo! Thank you, Brother Mo! "

He was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed, his posture as respectful as could be.

Immediately, he did not delay any further and hurriedly led the way for Mysterious Ink.

In no time at all, the man and the snake had already left the Fallen Immortal City, which was filled with a murderous aura, and arrived before a towering mountain range that was soaring with Demonic Qi.

Fallen Immortal Mountain Range!

" Brother Mo," Lin Yao introduced fawningly, "That Ghost-Faced Fox is extremely cunning and loves to hide during the day and come out at night."

" Since it is still daytime, I am afraid it will be somewhat difficult to find it."

" It might trouble you to wait here for a while, Brother Mo."

" Once night falls, that guy will certainly appear on its own."

However, Mysterious Ink chuckled upon hearing this.

A trace of playful... disdain flashed within his majestic dragon pupils.

How could a mere Third Rank Demonic Beasts hide from his terrifying Divine Sense, which was already comparable to the Mid Nascent Soul Stage?

" There is no need for such trouble. "

He said indifferently.

Immediately, his massive dragon body turned into a stream of light and dashed straight into the depths of the mountain range.

Seeing this, although Lin Yao was filled with doubts, he still hurriedly followed.

Very quickly.

Mysterious Ink brought him to a seemingly unremarkable... Mountain Gorge.

" Brother Mo, what are we doing here? "

Looking at the Mountain Gorge before him, which was empty except for a few craggy, strange rocks, Lin Yao's face was filled with endless... confusion.

However, Mysterious Ink could not be bothered to explain much to him.

He slowly raised that dragon claw covered in pitch-black dragon scales.

Just like that, with a calm and breezy manner, he lightly tapped at the empty Void Realm!

*Hum*—!

A ripple of energy, almost invisible to the naked eye, flashed and vanished.

The next moment!

A... strange scene that Lin Yao would never forget appeared.

In that previously empty Void Realm, a snow-white fox figure with a ferocious mask like an evil ghost on its face suddenly appeared without warning.

Between its brows, there was a blood hole that went straight through!

Its life force had already been severed!

Its corpse fell straight down from mid-air.

With a "bang," it smashed onto the cold ground.

" ... "

In an instant.

Lin Yao, who had been filled with confusion, felt as if he had been struck hard on the crown of his head by a bolt of divine lightning from the Nine Heavens.

He stood frozen on the spot.

His eyes, which had been full of confusion, widened, and his mouth hung open unconsciously, wide enough to fit a fist.

His face was left with only endless, absurd, ghost-seeing-like disbelief!

This... this... it's... over?!

He stared blankly at the corpse of the Ghost-Faced Fox, which was already dead beyond death, only feeling his brain go "buzz," leaving his mind blank!

He had thought that what was to follow would be an earth-shattering battle.

For this, he had even prepared the Medicinal Pill for healing.

He even spent a large sum of money to purchase a Third Rank Formation capable of trapping and killing an Early Golden Core Stage Cultivator as support.

But the result was... just this?!

One finger?!

With just a light, casual tap of a finger, he had... instant-killed this Ghost-Faced Fox, which was enough to give countless Late Golden Core Stage Cultivators a headache?!

" Put it away, let's go back. "

Just as Lin Yao's mind was shaken and his brain was blank, Mysterious Ink's lazy voice slowly came.

" Huh? Oh! Okay! Okay! "

Upon hearing this, Lin Yao woke up as if from a dream and hurriedly scrambled to put the corpse of the Ghost-Faced Fox into his Storage Pouch.

But even after he had completely put away the corpse, which still retained a trace of warmth,

he still felt as if he were dreaming.

Too fast! It was simply too fast, too easy!

You have to know, this Ghost-Faced Fox was not only a powerful Third Rank Demonic Beasts, but its specialty was that elusive, ghost-like Divine Ability of concealment.

It could be called unique.

But now... it had actually been found so easily by Brother Mo and killed with a single finger?!

Involuntarily.

An unprecedented curiosity suddenly surged into his heart!

He looked with immense awe at that massive dragon body, which was filled with an endless mysterious aura, his voice becoming somewhat stuttering due to the extreme shock.

" Mo... Brother Mo... what... what exactly... is your Realm? "
