Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The golden crystal egg hovered silently in the air while the radiance around it grew brighter and brighter. The Immortal’s Will contained within the Zhu Immortal Magical Formation was slowly flowing toward the golden crystal egg.

As for Ye Mo, holding his Sky Blood Spear with one hand, he used the Caged Dragon Power within him to repair the Zhu Immortal Magical Formation while he kept an eye on his surroundings.

Crack!

Ye Mo’s expression shifted when he heard the sound. That was the sound of the barrier of seals collapsing. Instantly, attacks from all directions crashed down on him like a massive tsunami.

But at the same time, from a different direction, another “crack” rang out.

That was an extremely soft sound, yet Ye Mo was able to hear it.

The crisp sound was soft compared to the massive wave of attacks coming toward Ye Mo, almost negligible. But to Ye Mo’s ears, the sound was so very clear.

Floating in the air, tiny cracks appeared on the golden crystal egg.

And, through these cracks, golden rays of light shot out.

Ye Mo could sense the slow rise of an extremely terrifying presence, a presence that was noble, divine, grand, and valiant.

Crack! Crack!

The cracks on the hovering golden crystal egg increased, and, like a spider web, the cracks spread all over the egg before, finally, the egg exploded.

And, with this explosion, the tsunami of attacks crashing down on Ye Mo was turned to nothing, while the various Heavenly Demon experts were sent flying in all directions.

A terrifying aura of destruction rose.

The golden radiance spread out and covered everything, rendering everyone there incapable of seeing exactly what was going on.

And when the radiance finally faded, a massive jade gold crystal beast appeared before everyone’s eyes.

“The evolution...is a success?” Ye Mo stared at Xiao Jing, who was high up in the air, with a stupefied look on his face.

Xiao Jing was much larger than he used to be. Originally, he was as big as a palm, but now he was as large as an adult elephant. His whole body was golden in color, and his body was clearly outlined. He no longer looked adorable. Instead, he looked oppressive and majestic.

The most obvious change in Xiao Jing was the massive golden crystal wings that had formed on his back. The wings looked incomparably beautiful, almost perfect.

On his forehead was an imprint. It was the core of a Jade Crystal Beast that had also absorbed the original will contained within the Zhu Immortal Magical Formation, the Will of the Immortal.

“With Xiao Jing’s current strength, even I would feel some fear when facing him.” A look of burning desire flashed within Ye Mo’s eyes. He longed to see how far had Xiao Jing’s evolution pushed his strength.

“What is that? Did the beast from earlier evolve into this form after eating our Crystal Core energy?”

“That’s right. It must be. But that beast’s aura seems very powerful.”

The Heavenly Demon experts opened their eyes wide in shock when they saw Xiao Jing. They wanted to keep attacking, but when they sensed Xiao Jing’s aura, they started retreating by instinct instead.

“Damnable human of the Ancient Azure Dragon clan, he’s actually brought along something this sinister! I’ll kill him.” The Heavenly Demon young master, who had transformed into a dragon, was completely fearless. He leaped and, with his mid-grade Bejeweled Weapon pitchfork, streaked across the sky and stabbed at Xiao Jing.

Hovering in the air, when Xiao Jing saw the incoming pitchfork, he just flapped his wings. The space around him started trembling and the mid-grade Bejeweled Weapon pitchfork shattered. As for the Heavenly Demon young master, the dragon scales all over his body started dropping off while he crashed down onto the ground.

The Heavenly Demon young master, a Draconic Human who was as powerful as a Transcendence Fifth Realm expert, was unable to resist even one attack from Xiao Jing. Ye Mo was completely shocked as he watched on, eyes open wide.

“Ye Mo, we should leave,” Hong Ling said. “These Heavenly Demon clan members aren’t classified as demons. Killing them won’t get you any points. Now that Xiao Jing has successfully evolved, our trip has paid off. We should quit while we are ahead.”

Ye Mo understood what she was trying to say. They couldn’t afford to stay here any longer. He hopped onto Xiao Jing’s back.

Bang! Bang!

Suddenly, the space around them darkened and the wind started bellowing fiercely. A figure flew straight toward them. This newcomer was massive, and his body was covered with dragon scales. Compared to the Heavenly Demon young master, this person looked more like a dragon than a Draconic Human.

It was the leader of the Heavenly Demon Clan, a Transcendence Eight Realm expert.

Even with his fearsome appearance, Xiao Jing didn’t seem to care. He flapped his wings and streaked away with Ye Mo, vanishing from sight.

“What a terrifying speed. That speed is far beyond the Transcendence Realm. Even if I chased after them, I won’t be able to catch up.” The Heavenly Demon clan leader was alarmed when he saw Xiao Jing’s speed.

As for Ye Mo, on Xiao Jing’s back, when he felt the speed they were moving, he was greatly astonished as well.

Right when Ye Mo was finally starting to enjoy the high-speed travel, Xiao Jing suddenly stopped. Ye Mo blanked out slightly before he noticed that the Transcendence Sixth Realm Sky Demon was standing guard nearby.

At the same time, the Sky Demon had discovered Ye Mo, too. Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Jing flapped his wings, sending out crystal drills that rained down upon the Sky Demon. The Sky Demon was instantly killed and crashed to the ground dead.

“That...that...”

Ye Mo was so shocked he didn’t know what to say. And, after killing the Sky Demon, he gained 64 points.

“Xiao Jing, what exactly is your level right now?” Ye Mo asked. “Transcendence Seventh Realm?”

Xiao Jing shook his head.

“His current level is probably the same as this big demon, Transcendence Sixth Realm,” Hong Ling said. “But his combat strength is closer to a Transcendence Seventh Realm, and his speed is far beyond anyone below the Profound World Realm.”

Hong Ling was greatly astonished with Xiao Jing’s ability as well. The strength of a god was indeed different, that a random evolution would make it so powerful.

Ye Mo felt like he should thank the Sky Demon. If it weren’t for the Sky Demon chasing after him, he wouldn’t have entered the lair of the Heavenly Demon clan. And without going there, Xiao Jing wouldn’t have evolved to such a terrifying level.

With Xiao Jing’s current strength and speed, he would be a great help to Ye Mo in his cultivation.

And the moment Ye Mo reached the Transcendence Realm, he would most likely be as strong as a Transcendence Sixth Realm expert. With him and Xiao Jing working together, he was curious what fool would dare challenge him.

But he would never dare to expose Xiao Jing easily. Xiao Jing’s existence was top secret, and he wouldn’t be able to make casual use of Xiao Jing.

But, here in Purgatory, he could ride on Xiao Jing and travel around killing demons like mad. Even Transcendence Sixth Realm demons could be killed with a single hit from Xiao Jing.

“There are still two days before this tournament ends. Let us hunt madly, then. Let’s see what fool would dare attack me.” Ye Mo sneered coldly before flying away, transforming into a streak of light and vanishing from where he was.

Although Xiao Jing was unable to communicate normally with Ye Mo, he still understood what Ye Mo wanted. Their next goal would be to hunt for more demons.
