68: Chapter 68 The Holy Spirit's Overthrow! The World-Burning Flame Sky Sparrow!
...
The Fire Jiao Saint Emperor's demon core was held in the Dragon Sparrow's mouth, tightly wrapped by a surge of pure energy. Immediately after, its body began to burn hot; Chu Ran could even see molten lava seeping from its wings from a distance...
And its body began to grow frantically. Once the molten lava covered its entire body, it instantly dried and cracked, as if covering its already powerful body with a layer of molten armor!
"Li—!"
A sparrow cry suddenly rang out in the air, the dark clouds in the sky instantly dissipated, and sunlight bathed the earth, accompanied by a crimson fire rain filling the sky!
A scorching mist rose from the sea surface, and even the air trembled from being roasted by the flames...

[Mastered Elements: Source Blazing Flame (Soul), dragon flame (Soul), Sky Flood Dragon Flame (Pseudo-Heaven)]
[Spiritual Breath Sharing (Combo Skill): The beast actively releases its own spiritual breath to establish a connection with other beasts contracted by its Beast Tamer. It can transfer its own spiritual power/stamina to other beasts and also receive spiritual power support from them, providing mutual supplementation and significantly increasing synergistic combat endurance.]
[True Dragon Flame Might (Comes with dragon flame): The exotic fire carries the pressure of a True Dragon's remnant soul. When the Dragon Sparrow uses flame techniques, dragon shadows will appear roaring within the flames, causing negative effects on the attacked enemies.]
[Rebirth from Ashes (Attribute-Matching Skill Book): When the Blazing Dragon Sparrow's body touches any fire, it will stimulate its bloodline vitality. The recovery speed increases in synchronization with the temperature and grade of the fire it contacts.]
[Heavenly Fire World-Burning (Comes with Sky Flood Dragon Flame): An advanced version of Blazing Flame Fire Rain, with a larger range and higher damage...)]
[Low-Level Enslavement (Sky Flood Dragon Flame additional effect): This beast is immune to flames below the Pseudo-Heaven species and can directly enslave fire-attribute demonic beasts below the Saint Spirit Level!]

[Evolution Points required for next evolution: Three million.]
...
Seven times!
All attributes increased by seven times!
Combat power is approaching 2.8 million!
Chu Ran had previously estimated, based on the increases when the Mosquito Emperor and Sacred Turtle evolved, that the Dragon Sparrow's attribute increase upon evolving to the Saint Spirit Level should be between 3.5 or 4 times... a combat power of around one million would have been reasonable...
But now it has directly increased by a full seven times!
Is this the auxiliary benefit of a Saint Spirit Grade Demonic Beast's demon core?
Too strong!
The pressure the Dragon Sparrow now emits is similar to the Qilin Saint Emperor when Jiang Chuan uses Power of Laws to assist... and the Dragon Sparrow might even surpass it...
Although the Dragon Sparrow now stands at the very peak of Tianxuan, it is still only a Peak Saint Spirit, far from even touching the edge of a Totem...
What kind of terrifying existence is a true Totem...
Just as Chu Ran's thoughts were drifting, a panel of information suddenly appeared before him.

...
At that moment, waves suddenly surged on the calm sea in the distance, and a terrifying aura instantly enveloped the entire sea region. As the seawater churned, a prehistoric giant crocodile burst out from the surface, filled with killing intent!
Its body was like a jagged reef polished by primeval ages, its back covered with layers of diamond-shaped bone armor. The edges of the plates glinted with a dull, bluish-black metallic luster, fitting together seamlessly like a suit of heavy armor forged from ancient black iron...
The crocodile's head was hideous as if carved by a ghostly axe, its bloody maw splitting open to its neck. Two rows of dagger-like fangs were grimly interlaced, the longest ones being as long as a forearm, with dark brown blood scabs congealed at the tips...
Pupils as sharp as blades were set beneath heavy bone brows, with violent cold light swirling within the murky yellow. Its four limbs were as thick as the gnarled roots of a thousand-year-old tree...
The wind whipped up by that massive tail as it swung, capable of sweeping away an army, directly pressed the waves on the sea surface down by several feet...
As soon as it appeared, the surrounding seawater seemed to be frozen by an invisible force. That murderous aura originating from primeval times was like a heavy sledgehammer smashing hard into the sky above the entire sea region, causing a suffocating deathly silence to permeate between heaven and earth!
[Heaven Swallowing Crocodile Emperor]
[Rank: Saint Spirit Level!]
[Combat Power: 1.5 million.]
...
At the harbor, Boao stood on the shore, staring blankly at that terrifying giant crocodile on the sea!
He knew very well that the terrifying existence was the hegemon of this Endless Sea Region!
He then turned his gaze toward that fire-attribute sparrow beast in the sky above the sea. Standing on its head at this moment was precisely the young man who had killed the Pope...
Boao knew that the fire-attribute beast must be a very terrifying existence; the aura it now revealed was even much stronger than before at the Sakura Pagoda!
But in this Endless Sea Region, there is only one hegemon!
That Heaven Swallowing Crocodile Emperor was already an upper-tier existence among Saint Spirit Grade Demonic Beasts, not to mention this entire sea region was its territory, and it had countless means during battle...
Sakura Sun had once sent two Ninth-Turn Experts to surround and kill it, but how could a terrifying demonic beast that had been immersed in this sea region for thousands of years be so easily killed? Those two Ninth-Turn Experts had exhausted all their efforts and still failed to keep it on the sea surface...
However, it had never surfaced again since that escape, which Sakura Sun considered as one less major threat...
Looking at the corpses of demonic beasts everywhere and the thick smell of blood permeating the entire sea surface...
He was deeply grateful for the young man's righteous intervention, but...
The fact that the Heaven Swallowing Crocodile Emperor had surfaced again now must also be because of the young man's frenzied slaughter...
Boao was afraid...
He was worried for the young man, fearing he would die on this sea...
Boao's heart was in his throat; what he feared even more was that if this young man ultimately failed to defeat the Heaven Swallowing Crocodile Emperor and fled, the Crocodile Emperor would eventually take its anger out on Sakura Sun...
The now fragmented Sakura Sun could simply no longer withstand the wrath of such a terrifying Saint Spirit Level Beast Emperor...
At that moment, a sheet of red flames instantly descended from the sky. Countless Meteor Spheres carrying scorching heavenly fire showered down, smashing heavily toward the location of the Crocodile Emperor...
Boao's eyes widened, his entire face filled with shock.
Because he clearly saw the current movement of the hegemon of the Endless Sea Region...
It was... trying to escape!
This... isn't right, is it?
