Chapter 228: Tier-Three Demonic Beast

“Let’s go!”

With the saint artifact in my hands, heavens belonged to me!

Jiang Yi was even more confident for his upcoming task now. With this saint artifact, his attack strength was definitely on par with a Soul Travel Realm expert; any Soul Travel Realm expert would fall after being hit by these two fire dragons. Of course, that was if the enemy stood still and allowed themselves to be hit. A Soul Travel Realm expert’s strength was formidable, but the speed was even more astonishing. If Jiang Yi was to clash head-on—before the fire dragons could be released, they would have dodged.

“Swish!”

Jiang Yi began to increase his speed as he sprinted into the depths of the mountains. With this saint artifact protecting himself and more than a dozen Fire Spirit Rocks—even if he was to encounter a tier-three demonic beast, it wouldn’t be life-threatening. Of course, he wanted to find and tame a tier-three demonic beast.

“Pong, Pong, Pong!”

As he sprinted in a frenzy, Jiang Yi met many tier-two demonic beasts. Every time he brandished the Fire Dragon Sword, the tier-two demonic beast would be suppressed and immobilized by the formidable aura from the Fire Dragon Sword. It had no choice but to watch helplessly as it was slain. The prowess of a saint artifact wasn’t something a low-tiered demonic beast could go against with.

After more than four hours, Jiang Yi couldn’t even remember how many demonic beasts he had encountered, which was at least more than twenty. Jiang Yi still had not met a demonic beast that was to his expectation; neither did he encounter any tier-three demonic beast.

The sky was turning dark while Jiang Yi was getting fatigued as well. After hurrying for several days, he was already considered mentally tough for him to last until this moment. He prepared to find a place to sleep, but this was in the depths of the mountains, and there were more demonic beasts in the night. Hence, it wasn’t safe anywhere.

“Underground!”

Jiang Yi had an idea when he recalled about the Kingdom War. If he was to dig an underground cave, the demonic beast wouldn’t be able to follow the tunnel; and he could walk several hundreds of kilometers below, right?

He found a giant stone peak and leaped onto it. He would jump around 10 meters every time and thrust the Black Scale Sword into the stone peak, borrowing strength to launch himself up again.

“This is it!”

While over 30 meters above the surface, Jiang Yi swiftly used the Black Scale Sword to spin, effortlessly digging a small hole while his body followed in.

“Tsk-Tsk!”

As the Black Scale Sword drilled in, the stone walls instantly turned into dust before Jiang Yi began to dig downwards. Demonic beasts were sensitive to human aura; thus, he didn’t dare to sleep in this stone peak.

After spending an hour, Jiang Yi dug for more than three kilometers down with a winding tunnel which would take the demonic beast a lot of time—even if it was to follow this tunnel. What’s more, the further down the tunnel, the narrower the tunnel got. Demonic beasts generally had massive bodies which wouldn’t even fit.

Jiang Yi didn’t dare to seal up the underground cave; otherwise, he might suffocate to death. After completing the excavation, he took out some small items from the Fire Spirit Pearl to set up some mechanisms. He then took out some clean water and rations to munch on. Consuming sufficient food and deprived of any energy to cultivate or decipher the Nameless Divine Art, he immediately fell and went into deep sleep.

Jiang Yi slept without any worry on this night and didn’t even have any dreams. It was only a little stuffy, but no demonic beasts came disturbing him for the entire night.

Waking up early in the morning, Jiang Yi ate some rations and began his daily cultivation. His cultivation speed was now very fast—all because he had two purple mansions, increasing his cultivation speed by ten folds. In just over a month’s time, he already had this indistinct feeling that he was about to break through the limits of the third stage of Purple Mansion Realm.

He did have the absolute treasure, the celestial stone, but it was a pity that he didn’t have enough time to refine it. The energy within the celestial stone was too overwhelming and required at least ten days to refine a single piece.

After cultivating for an hour, Jiang Yi emerged from the underground cave and began his search for a suitable demonic beast. The deeper he went into the mountains, the higher the tier and grade of the demonic beasts—where tier-two peak-grade demonic beasts started to appear.

“Massacre Intent!”

Facing off against tier-two peak grade demonic beast, Jiang Yi had no choice but to use his trump card. A tier-two peak-grade demonic beast wasn’t like regular low-tiered demonic beasts which would only release their demonic arts before their imminent death. The higher the tier of a demonic beast, the lesser the weakness they would suffer after releasing their demonic arts. Hence, they used their demonic arts at a higher frequency. Low-tiered demonic beasts could only wait for death after releasing their demonic arts; thus, the reason why they only released it when they were about to die.

The third rank of the Massacre Intent was indeed much more formidable!

He could see it in the Purple-Eyed Giant Tiger which didn’t dare to move an inch. After Jiang Yi ascertained that this giant tiger—which was over three meters long—was immobilized, he shot forward and cleaved with the Fire Dragon Sword.

“Bang!”

Two fire dragons were shot out bursting the tiger into pieces, even shattering the small stone peaks at the side.

“En-En!”

Jiang Yi kept the Fire Dragon Sword with a satisfied expression. Seeing from this situation, his Massacre Intent could easily suppress a tier-three low-grade demonic beast. If he was to tame a tier-three demonic beast, it would definitely aid in increasing his overall combat strength.

Unfortunately…

After circling the nearby vicinity for an entire day, he still couldn’t find any tier-three demonic beast. He had slain more than a dozen of tier-two peak-grade demonic beasts, but he didn’t find any that was fast or had any special magical skills. Of course… even if some of those demonic beasts had magical demonic arts, he wouldn’t know either—because he wouldn’t allow them to even release the demonic arts.

Two days had already passed!

The bridal escort army from the Divine Martial Kingdom should be about to reach the southern territory. Jiang Yi was now burning with the urgency as he dug another underground cave and prepared to spend the night. He told himself that he had to tame a spirit beast by noon before he headed straight for the Great Xia Kingdom.

The capital of the Great Xia Kingdom, Summer Rain City, was just three days away from the borders of the Divine Martial Kingdom. Even if the bridal escort army was slower than expected, they would just need an additional one or two more days to arrive at the Summer Rain City. He had to find an opportunity to intercept them during these four to five days; otherwise, he would lose all his chances once they arrived at the Summer Rain City.

Moreover, he had another more important thing to do. He had to make a trip to Mt. Fire Cloud, allowing the Fire Spirit Pearl to consume sufficient Earth Fire. Without the Earth Fire, he would certainly be seeking for his death if he was to clash against that huge army.

“Sigh, I shall do my best and leave the rest to the heavens. Tomorrow, once noon arrives, I must set off for Mt. Fire Cloud.”

Jiang Yi let out a sigh and laid down in the underground cave, falling into a deep sleep. In the pitch black cave, the entire surroundings were moist dirt; and Jiang Yi was sleeping like a beggar under a bridge. He was curled up into a small bundle and had yet to even take a bath during this period of time. His clothes were ragged; he had a scraggy beard and disheveled hair like a savage man.

“Shh-shh-shh!”

In the middle of the night, a slight echo alarmed Jiang Yi, causing him to bounce onto his feet and his eyes releasing a killing aura. The Fire Spirit Pearl was glittering, and he was ready for a fight at any moment.

“Shh-shh-shh!”

The sound was getting louder. The Fire Dragon Sword was now in Jiang Yi’s hand when the mud wall ahead suddenly burst open. A black and enormous demonic beast’s sinister head exposed itself. This demonic beast didn’t follow the tunnel but actually dug its way here.

“Die!”

At this moment, Jiang Yi’s eyes were turning blood red while the killing aura was bursting from his body, suppressing this demonic beast. The Fire Dragon Sword in his other hand was radiating with red light as two fire dragons revolved in the sword body, getting ready to fly out.

“Eh? Tier-three demonic beast that could dig underground?”

When Jiang Yi saw that this demonic beast was actually not shivering from the suppression of the Massacre Intent and the Fire Dragon Sword, he quietly sensed the demonic beast’s aura—which immediately lit up his eyes. A tier-three demonic beast that could underground was something he could only come across serendipitously!

He was here at Mt. Thirty Thousand to tame a spirit beast, and wasn’t this black fellow the best spirit beast? A spirit beast that could either fly in the sky or dig underground was the best tool for escaping.

“I choose you then!”

Jiang Yi controlled the Fire Dragon Sword’s sword force and kept it from launching out, constantly pouring more essence force so that the Fire Dragon Sword and the Massacre Intent could continually suppress this demonic beast. Jiang Yi quickly took out the spirit beast talisman where the golden wordings appeared in preparations to tame this unknown demonic beast.
