Celestial Thunder Devastation!

Lin Qiu grunted as Thunder-type Celestial Chi materialized and surged into his right hand . When he threw his fist, it struck forward like a raging thunder . This punch was a mid-Mystique Venerable Rank fighter’s all-in attack!
Boom!
The gold-armored soldier was shoved several steps backward by the impact of the blow .
Lin Qiu immediately flew away .
“I can’t believe he got away!” After the gold-armored soldier took Lin Qiu’s punch, Ye Chen felt frustrated . He immediately calmed himself and when he looked ahead, Lin Qiu had already dived into the ocean . “Seems like I haven’t mastered Palm Shattering the Milky Way technique yet!”
If it was the Purple-fire Astra Lion who had cast Palm Shattering the Milky Way, it would have probably taken out Lin Qiu in just one hit . In terms of cultivation base, Ye Chen was still inferior to Lin Qiu . Even with the secrets of Palm Shattering the Milky Way, he only managed to gravely wound Lin Qiu . He figured Lin Qiu must have eaten some sort of medicinal pill which raised his potential which would explain how his Celestial Chi had suddenly surged .
“It won’t be that easy if he wants to get away!” Ye Chen searched his surroundings with his Astral Body . He found that Lin Qiu did not swim into the sea . Lin Qiu was probably also aware that he would be marked by the octopus sea monsters if he went into the sea . He merely swam to the other side of the island and was resting on a cliff . It looked like he was replenishing his Celestial Chi .
‘This guy is probably trying to buy some time and find an opportunity to escape . It would’n be that easy to get away from the tracking of my Astral Body . ’ Ye Chen was about to have the gold-armored soldier go after Lin Qiu when suddenly, he felt something ominous . An unsettling aura came from somewhere far away on the surface of the ocean .
What was happening?
Ye Chen stopped . His Astral Body reached into the sea to investigate .
Lin Qiu recomposed himself briefly . He looked around him and noticed that Ye Chen did not pursue him . Only then was he able to breathe a sigh of relief . However, he still dared not let his guard down . The most threatening thing about Celestial Beasts was their Psyche . It was said that they could track up to thousands of kilometers with their Psyche . It would be an effortless task just to track several kilometers .
‘I have to make use of this window to recover . I might not be able to get away so easily the next time we confront each other,’ Lin Qiu thought . He dreaded facing Ye Chen, especially that terrifying palm technique that was able to break through his defensive Celestial Chi and rupture his meridians . The vicious technique sent shivers down his spine .

Lin Qiu made his way into a forest on the island . While recovering his Celestial Chi, he cautiously observed his surroundings . Even the sound of wind brushing against leaves made him jump . His nerves were constantly on the edge .
Ye Chen felt an ominous aura coming from the undersea . He cautiously and quickly retrieved some ointment to help the Golden Sun Condor with its injuries .
“Chirp chirp,” the Golden Sun Condor cried out in a low voice .
Ye Chen inspected the Golden Sun Condor’s wound . The arrow had pierced through the Golden Sun Condor’s chest and the wound was grievous . If any other regular human or common beast suffered such an injury, they would have died a long time ago . A Heavenly Venerable Rank mystical beast had a strong life force . Despite the grievous wound, Ye Chen could see that it was slowly recovering .
Ye Chen applied some ointment on the Golden Sun Condor’s wound and wrapped it with bandages . Thereafter, he fed the Golden Sun Condor a Mystique Venerable Rank Spirit Pill .
After the bandages were wrapped, the Golden Sun Condor tried to get up several times . Each time, it struggled and collapsed back on the ground .
Ye Chen patted the Golden Sun Condor’s back . He smiled and said, “Fluffy Nine, why don’t you rest?”
Despite its grave injury, it was determined to get back up . Ye Chen decided he was going to properly nurture the Golden Sun Condor . Even though the Golden Sun Condor was not very intelligent, such a resilient quality was rare whether it was in humans or mystical beasts .
After he finished wrapping bandages for the Golden Sun Condor, Ye Chen worriedly looked at the sea surface . His Astral Body had already entered the oceanic trench . He was not sure what was happening or whether it would affect Little Wingsy who was cultivating inside the Soul Pearl .
The sun was shining brightly . The ocean waves were relatively small as well . Yet, there seemed to be an unknown entity creeping below the surface of the calm seas .
Ye Chen’s Astral Body had finally found Little Squido and the Soul Pearl .
Little Squido was stuck to an underground rock . It looked like he was eating something . A short distance away from him, five octopus sea monsters lined up obediently, waiting .

The Soul Pearl floated on the ocean trench, illuminating a faint dark light . It looked like a giant black pearl that had streams of light patrolling around it . It gave the Soul Pearl a mysterious appearance .
Within the Soul Pearl, Little Wingsy had transformed into his primal form . He was battling countless Winged Serpents like himself . These Winged Serpents were slightly different from Little Wingsy where their bodies were pitch black . They were conjured by the elder who resided inside the Soul Pearl using the Soul Pearl’s power .
“Master, this training is so tedious!” Little Wingsy grumbled while fighting the Winged Serpents .
When Little Wingsy evoked his cultivation system, the feathers on his body instantly grew several folds longer . A black light hovered around them as a large cloud of black flame amassed around his body . Astounding heatwaves routinely boiled out of the black flame clouds . On top of that, steel blades danced inside the cloud of flame . This was the result of his demonic technique cultivation .
“Of course, the training is difficult but to become stronger, it’s worth the effort!” The elder sat cross-legged, his body also glowed with a faint black light . Three skulls with strange red flames glowing in their eye sockets circled the elder .
Those who did not know about the elder would be shocked when they witnessed such a scene . They would think the elder was a supreme demon .
The elder looked up at Little Wingsy who was flying in mid-air and sighed . He reflected that this disciple of his was truly gifted . In the past, it had taken him two hundred years just to learn his first demonic technique . It only took Little Wingsy less than a month to learn a large part of the first form of demonic technique, Sword Hill Inferno . He should be able to master it in another half a month .
“My judgment was correct . The Winged Serpent is an ancient mutated species that carries demonic blood . They don’t need to resort to a massacre to learn these demonic techniques . Such progress could not possibly be matched by ordinary people . ” The elder smiled contently .
At this moment, if the people who invented this school of demonic technique were still alive, they would have been irritated to death witnessing this ridiculous scene . Practicing demonic techniques were very different from the regular practice of refining one’s cultivation system . The progress of practicing demonic technique was extremely diligent and rapid . Even a common person with average talent would only need two months to perfect their first technique . To take two hundred years just to master the first technique, Sword Hill Inferno, was completely unheard of .
Little Wingsy had demonic blood in his veins . It should only reasonably take him up to three days to master the first form . However, it took him nearly an entire month just to barely grasp the technique . This was a clear display of incompetence . If the people who discovered the school of demonic technique were still living today, they would probably reprimand Little Wingsy for his incompetence . The elder had the audacity to commend Little Wingsy for being naturally gifted .
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Little Wingsy took another beating from the Winged Serpents created from the energy of the Soul Pearl . If not for Little Wingsy’s extremely resilient body, he would be covered in bruises by now .
In the past, Ye Chen and Little Tanuki had tried to teach Little Wingsy martial art techniques countless times . The lessons they gave always went in one ear and out on the other hence Little Wingsy still did not learn any martial art technique after a long time . Little Wingsy had always been very playful . Anything he had learned today would be forgotten tomorrow . It was a tall task just to get him to learn martial art techniques . So, to get him to learn even more advanced martial art techniques was a near-impossible task .
Whenever Little Wingsy transformed back to his primal form, he had a small selection of martial art techniques that he was naturally born with . Since his birth, he had not learned any new martial art techniques . The reason that he was so determined to learn new martial art techniques this time around was largely for the sake of Ye Chen and Little Tanuki .
Even if Little Wingsy had to take a beating from the Winged Serpent created from the Soul Pearl’s power, he gritted his teeth and held through the pain .
“I’m too weak . I can’t protect Big Brother Ye Chen and Big Sister Tanuki like this . I have to become stronger!” Little Wingsy’s eyes were filled with determination . When he flapped his wings, countless steel blades materialized around him and shot outward .
Sword Hill Inferno!
Little Wingsy cast the martial art technique again . Raging flames dance in the skies as the steel blades raged on like a violent storm, shooting toward the Winged Serpent . Boom boom boom, the Winged Serpent were devoured by the steel blades .
After slaying the Winged Serpents, Little Wingsy came back down . He had transformed back to his human form and he was out of breath at that point .
When he saw that Little Wingsy had defeated the Winged Serpent illusions, the elder brushed his mustache and smiled faintly . He looked very pleased .
“Not bad, you’re improving faster than I’ve expected . After you have grasped Sword Hill Inferno, I shall teach you a stronger technique – Absolute Zero Freezing Hell . This technique is ten folds stronger than Sword Hill Inferno!” the elder boasted proudly .
“Ten folds stronger than Sword Hill Inferno? Will I be as strong as the dark spirit if I mastered it?” Little Wingsy looked at the elder with awe .
“Of course, it’s just a lowly dark spirit so you could easily kill it . ” The elder smirked . It was difficult to tell what he was thinking . “This next technique… It’s considerably more difficult . Back then, it had taken me five hundred… Uuh hum, even for my outstanding natural talent, it had taken me fifty days of training just to learn it . ”
“Master, you’re amazing!” Little Wingsy looked at the elder with respect .
The elder’s cheeks flushed red . He patted Little Wingsy on the shoulder and encouraged him . “Little Wingsy, one day, you’ll reach Master’s level as well . ”
When he heard the elder’s words, Little Wingsy’s eyes glowed with excitement . He wondered when he would be able to master the second technique . When he thought of how powerful the second technique was, he was boiling with excitement .
As the two were conversing, somewhere deep in the trench, a large school of bubble boiled upward .
The elder frowned as he seemed to have sensed something .
“Master, what is it?” Little Wingsy noticed the elder’s expression and asked curiously .
“Nothing!” The elder shook his head . He grew more alert, closely paying attention to what was going on outside . He thought to himself, ‘Could I be this unlucky? Could there be something that was hiding inside this trench?’
At the same time, Little Squido, who was outside, was also getting agitated . His entire body trembled . He had his eyes wide opened, staring into the trench as he waved his tentacles around .
From inside the Soul Pearl, Little Wingsy saw Little Squido signaling with his tentacles . He quickly turned around to tell the elder, “Master, Little Squido is telling us to quickly escape . ”
“Quickly escape? Why?” the elder asked . Just as he finished his sentence, a dim light suddenly appeared from deep within the trench . After a moment, the dim light slowly became brighter as an enormous sea turtle appeared within their line of sight .
