58: Pure Blood Dragon

Qingyang has fallen into a deep sleep and begun breaking through to the eighth tier.

While Qingyang was in deep sleep, Huang Shan was also forcefully pushing his strength towards the seventh tier almost every day, relying on Fierce Beast flesh and blood plus zhen crystal.

Interestingly, the aura produced when Qingyang began breaking through to the eighth tier seemed to resonate with Yin Li, the Frostwater Fire Ape.

On the second day after Qingyang started breaking through to the eighth tier, Yin Li surprisingly also began breaking through to the eighth tier.

This immediately hurt Huang Shan's pride.

So, over the next few days, Huang Shan consumed Fierce Beast flesh and blood almost to the point of bursting, refining and then absorbing it every day.

On the other hand, Mao Qiu had already reached the peak of the fifth tier, so it naturally broke through to the ranks of sixth-tier Exotic Beasts within seven or eight days.

Next, under Mao Qiu's command, tens of thousands of low-tier Fierce Beasts that had died in battle throughout the Lingshan Forbidden Area began to be frantically devoured by his Treasure Seeking Rat subordinates, one by one.

Bu Bai and Blood Town, who had followed Qingyang in this campaign to Ling Mountain, also naturally broke through to the sixth tier during these few days.

On the eleventh day of Qingyang's deep sleep, with a cry coming from the horizon, Little Luan, heavily injured, stumbled to Ling Mountain.

Because her injuries were too severe, with one wing even looking like it was about to break, the moment she arrived at the core of Ling Mountain,

driven by instinct, she swallowed a full ten thousand zhen crystal in one gulp before directly falling unconscious.

On the fifteenth day of Qingyang's breakthrough sleep, Little Luan finally managed to wake up under the nourishment of the zhen crystal' energy.

Afterwards, she also brought news from the Eternal Night Forbidden Zone.

King Kong died tragically, and Xuan Ming, having already broken through to the ranks of sixth-tier Super Exotic Beasts, is now under the oppressive power of the White Tiger Divine Beast, who wants Xuan Ming to defect.

But because Xuan Ming was unwilling, and that White Tiger was also unwilling to give up such a sixth-tier Exotic Beast, Xuan Ming was currently severely injured, had his limbs severed, and was imprisoned in the lake within the Eternal Night Forbidden Zone.

On the twentieth day of Qingyang's deep sleep, as Huang Shan finally broke through to the peak of the sixth tier, he immediately devoured all the remaining zhen crystal and forcefully began his advancement.

On the afternoon of the same day Huang Shan forcefully advanced, as a dazzling light emanated from the core of Ling Mountain, Yin Li's body surged to a hundred meters, and he broke through to the eighth tier first.

The aura of the eighth-tier Divine Beast, the Frostwater Fire Ape Yin Li, made the Humans in the Qingshang Special District, tens of thousands of miles away, feel an extreme sense of oppression.

Although he had broken through to the eighth tier first, because Qingyang had previously defeated him fair and square, Yin Li had no thought of taking advantage of the situation; instead, he honestly waited for Qingyang to break through.

Two days later, as a trace of Divine Beast bloodline aura emerged from the Beast Tomb, Qingyang, having undergone twenty-two days of deep sleep, finally broke through to the eighth tier.

Inside the Beast Tomb, Qingyang's body length had now grown to eighty meters. As his strong and powerful body writhed, each scale, the size of a cattail fan, also made a slight sound.

He still appeared entirely black as ink with mysterious golden patterns covering him, but upon closer inspection, one would find that the current Qingyang,

whether it was his head, body, or tail, had completely taken on the appearance of a Flood Dragon, with only subtle details hinting at his former form as a python.

Suddenly opening his black-gold vertical pupils, Qingyang slightly shook his Flood Dragon head. On top of his head, his originally spiraled horns each had a small fork appear.

But due to his massive size, although they were small forks, they were still several meters long and exceptionally ferocious.

Beneath him, his claws, over ten meters long, gleamed with black-gold cold light, looking exceptionally terrifying.

The moment his consciousness returned, Qingyang looked at his attributes.

[Species: Golden-Patterned Ink Flood Dragon (Divine Beast "One").]

[Realm: Eighth Tier Initial Stage.]

[Strength: 2000.]

[Speed: 2000.]

[Defense: 2000.]

[Devour Points: 7796.]

[Skills: Ice Blade Meteor Kill (-600℃, releases eighteen ice blades.) Cooldown: 24 hours.

Backwater Extreme Sacrifice (Attributes ×5 times, duration five minutes, afterwards all self attributes return to one.) Cooldown: 120 hours.

Flood Dragon Poison Heart Erosion (Releases a 200-meter diameter poisonous mist, instantly kills targets one major tier below self, lasts 2 hours.) Cooldown: 24 hours.]

"What is this?" Looking at his attributes, Qingyang couldn't help but exclaim.

Divine Beast, a Divine Beast that only existed in records, but today, his own bloodline had reached this level.

Then, after noticing that his Ice Blade Meteor Kill skill had actually become eighteen ice blades, and the range of the Flood Dragon Poison Heart Erosion's poisonous mist had increased from a hundred meters to two hundred meters,

Qingyang immediately couldn't help but let out a long howl.

"Ang~"

A Flood Dragon's roar, all beasts submit.

As Qingyang's voice echoed throughout Ling Mountain, all the Fierce Beasts, upon hearing this sound, simultaneously prostrated themselves on the ground, facing Qingyang, and let out various fanatical roars.

Outside the Beast Tomb, a flash of battle intent appeared in Yin Li's eyes, but he also knew what Qingyang was currently facing. Finally, watching Qingyang slowly appear outside the cave, he immediately said.

"You're finally awake. I wonder if you noticed those ancient carvings in the Beast Tomb? Take a look first, and after you're done, I'll tell you what I know."

Hearing this, Qingyang immediately turned around and looked inside the Beast Tomb.

He saw ancient and mysterious symbols on the surrounding walls, seemingly recording something.

After observing for a long time and finding that he didn't recognize these symbols at all, Qingyang could only leave the place and come to the valley, casting a questioning look at Yin Li.

Seeing this scene, Yin Li grinned broadly and immediately said, "To be honest, I didn't recognize these things originally either.

But because I devoured those beast cores, and after refining and absorbing a part of them, I also gained some strange knowledge. That's how I found out what these symbols mean.

Simply put, these symbols explain the strength tiers of Fierce Beasts from ancient times to the present. According to those symbols, there are sixteen beast tiers."

As he said this, Yin Li lightly waved his fist, which was like a small hill, and continued to explain, "We Fierce Beasts are divided into a total of sixteen tiers. Currently, you and I are both at the eighth tier.

This is the tier division for all Fierce Beasts from ancient times to today. Additionally, the bloodlines of Fierce Beasts are also recorded on it.

Fierce Beast, Exotic Beast, Divine Beast, and Super Divine Beast, a total of four tiers. Legend has it that from ancient times to the present, in each era, at most only one or two Super Divine Beasts seem to be born; it's normal for there to be none.

But according to the records, a Super Divine Beast is like the culmination of all the luck of an era. As long as a Super Divine Beast is born, it will exhaust all the luck of that era."

After listening to Yin Li's words, Qingyang couldn't help but turn his head curiously again to look at the mysterious symbols inside the Beast Tomb, wondering what energy those Fierce Beasts relied on for advancement before the world recovered.
