Chapter 303 The Dilemma of the Sacred Beast
Saint?

Chen Ming found it strange that there was a Saintess on Bliss Island, and that her cultivation level didn't seem to be very high.

Logically speaking, among those powerful forces, someone who can be called a saintess shouldn't have a low cultivation level.

He activated the Yin God's perspective and looked around, but found no hidden experts at the Divine Treasure Realm nearby.

While it's true that there are certainly some powerful individuals in this world who can conceal their primordial spirit, surely no one would be so cautious in a place like Paradise Island.

As Chen Ming was thinking, the "Holy Maiden" was still caught up. After all, her cultivation level was lower and she was injured, so she could not truly shake off her pursuers.

Once one's strength reaches a certain level, even a slight difference in cultivation level can result in an immeasurable difference in skill.

Such a freak as him, who could kill a first-rank cultivator while only being a second-rank cultivator, has been extremely rare throughout history.

After blocking the white-clad woman's path, the rank one man did not rush to attack. He said, "Holy Maiden, hand over the item and come with us. Don't worry, my master will not harm you."

The woman in white held a sword in her hand, her expression cold and ruthless. "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. I will never betray the Holy Lord!"

After saying that, he slashed his neck with the sword in his hand.

He actually wanted to commit suicide.

The first-rank official was taken aback and was about to stop him when suddenly, a figure appeared beside the woman in white, holding the sword between two fingers.

This sudden turn of events shocked everyone present.

The way this person appeared was truly bizarre; even with their keen eyesight, they couldn't see how he appeared. It was as if he teleported there out of thin air.

"Who are you?"

The first-rank expert felt a chill run down his spine, instinctively sensing a tremendous sense of crisis, as if he were facing a powerful expert at the Divine Realm.

"Kill your people!"

The moment the unassuming middle-aged man spoke, his heart tightened, and his first instinct was to run away, to run as far away as possible.

But it was too late—

He felt a chill in his heart, and before his eyes gushed out a large amount of blood, along with torn limbs. Soon, he was plunged into eternal darkness.

……

You have killed a level 96 enemy and gained 2 million experience points.

Chen Ming casually killed the first-rank official, as well as two third-rank officials beside him.

Before he knew it, killing a first-rank expert was as easy as killing a chicken.

After dealing with the three men, he said to the stunned woman in white, "Why did you have to take your own life, young lady? These thugs can no longer harm you."

"Thank you so much, young master, for saving my life!"

Upon hearing his words, the woman in white seemed to snap out of her daze and hurriedly thanked him, her voice slightly stammering.

"This is not the place to talk. Let's leave first."

Chen Ming said that the two left the place without even disposing of the bodies.

A moment later, the two arrived at a valley.

Chen Ming stopped and said, "No one should be chasing us anytime soon. May I ask your name, young lady?"

The woman in white stared at him and suddenly said, "My benefactor is not from the island, is he?"

“Indeed, I only arrived on the island a few days ago. The person who brought me here forcibly demanded my token, so I had no choice but to kill him. Now I'm in hiding.” Chen Ming didn't hide anything from her, then asked with some doubt, “How did you figure that out, young lady?”

The woman in white smoothed her slightly disheveled hair and said, "If you were from the island, you would definitely recognize the clothes I'm wearing."

"By the way, I just heard them call you the Saintess. You must have a very high status on the island."

"What saintess? I am merely a maidservant who serves the Holy Lord."

Chen Ming tentatively asked, "The Holy Lord you speak of, young lady, could he be the legendary guardian beast of the island?"

The reason he rescued her just now was based on this guess.

After much thought, it's highly likely that the person on Paradise Island who can be called a "Saintess" is related to that sacred beast.

However, this sacred beast is quite interesting, as these "saintesses" actually call it the Holy Lord.

The woman in white corrected him with a look of reverence, "On the island, everyone respectfully calls the Holy Lord 'Lord Ming Sheng'!"

When in Rome, do as the Romans do, and asked, "Which faction did those three belong to? How dare they attack you? Aren't they afraid of offending Lord Ming Sheng?"

The woman in white said with some worry, "Those people just now must be outsiders. The people on the island would never dare to disrespect the Holy Lord. Now that the Holy Lord is still asleep, these people must want to get the seal to enter the Holy Lord's dwelling place from me, and they want to harm the Holy Lord."

Chen Ming said, "Lord Mingsheng is all-powerful; these clowns will certainly not succeed."

“I’m a little worried about Caiyun. She’s also a maidservant who serves the Holy Lord. These people will definitely try to harm her too… I have to go back quickly.”

"I will go with you."

"it is good."

……

Not long after, a middle-aged man in a purple robe received the report at the foot of a hill a dozen miles away. He was furious and said, "What? They got away? Useless! They can't even catch a second-rank official."

"Why are you angry, Senior Brother Li?"

Beside them, a young woman dressed in red, exuding exotic charm, spoke up. She had a red crescent moon on her forehead, which made her look somewhat eerie. "She's just a maid who serves that half-breed phoenix. She won't affect the overall situation."

The purple-robed man said somewhat irritably, "What do you know? That Ice-Fire Phoenix is ​​currently suffering from the pain of two opposing bloodline powers clashing, and it is at its weakest. If we disturb it in advance, it will hide in the underground fire veins, making it difficult to catch."

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Bliss Island was embroiled in internal strife and preoccupied with its own problems, not to mention the Ice and Fire Phoenix was suffering a backlash. He couldn't tolerate even the slightest deviation from the plan.

If he can subdue this divine beast at the peak of the Divine Realm this time, he will be able to surpass the others and become the Holy Son of this generation!

The woman in red said with a smile, "If Senior Brother Li wastes any more time here, it might really run away."

"go!"

The man surnamed Li waved his hand and led his men into the valley. It was also the dwelling place of the sacred beast that guarded Paradise Island.

The woman in red followed behind, looking down on this Senior Brother Li with some disdain.

What's the use of being strong if you can't even control your own temper?

The Demon Transformation Sect and the Blood Demon Sect both belong to the Longevity Sect. Although they are said to be of the same lineage and share the same breath, they are actually banding together to fight against the whole world.

Moreover, she was not a member of the Blood Demon Sect, but an envoy of the Moon Goddess Sect.

In fact, the current situation of the Demon Transformation Sect is even worse than that of the Blood Demon Sect, because there are not many demon beasts left in this world.

The Heavenly Punishment Hall has blocked all the exits from the demon realm, so every demon beast killed in the human world is one less to be found. Over thousands of years, they have almost disappeared.

The Demon Transformation Sect made the same choice as the Blood Demon Sect: to go to sea!

On some remote islands overseas, one can occasionally see some monsters surviving, as well as monsters living in the sea.

This is why the Demon Transformation Sect has continued to exist overseas.

This time, the two sides joined forces. The Demon Transformation Sect helped the Moon Goddess Sect seize Bliss Island, and the Moon Goddess Sect helped the Demon Transformation Sect tame the divine beast on the island.

Since ancient times, those that can be called divine beasts have all had extremely noble bloodlines. Upon reaching adulthood, they awaken their bloodline power and possess strength equivalent to that of a Divine Realm expert.

This ice and fire phoenix has an even more miraculous bloodline, possessing both ice and fire attributes.

Logically speaking, the Ice Phoenix and the Fire Phoenix are natural enemies; their union is strange enough, but to produce offspring is even more incredible. As this Ice and Fire Phoenix continues to grow, the power of its bloodline becomes stronger, and the conflict between the two irreconcilable forces intensifies.

Therefore, every so often, this phoenix has to suffer the consequences of the clash of bloodline powers, which not only greatly diminishes its strength but also causes it extreme pain.

And this was precisely the opportunity for the man surnamed Li from the Demon Transformation Sect to subdue it.

With so many experts on Paradise Island and natural barriers, it would have been virtually impossible to force an attack on the island.

The internal strife on Paradise Island created this perfect opportunity.

……

On the other side, Chen Ming and the woman in white entered the underground rock layer through another, more secluded passage, and continued to go deeper underground through the winding tunnels.

He discovered that the environment here was somewhat similar to the fire element space of the Zhenhai Prince's Mansion, with extremely dense fire element power, forcing the woman in white to use ice-attribute protective energy.

"Young lady, how much longer do we have to walk?"

As soon as Chen Ming asked the question, he felt the ground shake.

He asked, "What happened?"

The woman in white's expression changed. "Oh no! The Holy Lord is in danger!"

She was extremely anxious and immediately sped up her pace.

Chen Ming followed behind and asked, "Who exactly is it that would harm Lord Ming Sheng?"

"It must be the Moon Goddess Cult!"

The woman in white said worriedly, "The Holy Lord once said that the Moon Goddess Cult is ambitious and advised the Island Lord not to have too much contact with them, but the Island Lord refused to listen..."

So, that sacred beast could actually speak?
Chen Ming was somewhat surprised. Could it be that it had already taken human form?

The cultivation system of demon beasts is different from that of humans. In the demon race, human transformation is equivalent to the Life Palace Realm.

The Transformation Realm means becoming a powerful demon.

That's not right. If it were a powerful demon in human form, how could the Moon Goddess Sect dare to provoke it?
Is it possible that the Moon Goddess Cult is going to send out a Life Palace Realm expert for this?
According to the old Taoist priest Wangchenzi, when a martial artist reaches the Divine Treasury Realm, they can be considered to have reached the age of knowing their destiny. They can clearly perceive the passing of their lifespan.

Each time you make a move, your lifespan will decrease accordingly.

An injury can potentially shorten one's lifespan by several years, or even more than a decade.

Therefore, once a martial artist reaches the Divine Treasure Realm, they tend to value their lives highly and will not easily take action unless absolutely necessary.

This is even more true for those at the Life Palace Realm.

Therefore, in the mortal world, there are occasional rumors of experts at the Divine Treasury Realm taking action, but rumors of experts at the Life Palace Realm taking action are extremely rare.

The demon race is different. Demons are born with long lifespans, exceeding those of humans by ten or even a hundred times, so they naturally have far fewer concerns...

"No, judging from how worried the woman in white looks, the sacred beast must be in a rather weak state right now."

Chen Ming made this conjecture in his mind.

Otherwise, he couldn't imagine who could threaten such a powerful, transformed demon, especially since it was on its home turf.

Unless it's a legendary Yuan Tai realm expert.

As Chen Ming was pondering this, he suddenly sensed two incredibly powerful forces: one ice, one fire.

He merely glanced at it with his Yin spirit, and his soul seemed to be scorched, then frozen, and then began to burn again...

It's like experiencing both ice and fire!

He dared not look any longer and withdrew his Yin spirit into his Niwan Palace. He felt half of his body burning while the other half was freezing cold.

"No, it's not two forces, it's one force!"

He realized something was wrong; these two extremely violent forces, one ice and one fire, were actually one force.

This power seemed poised to spiral out of control at any moment.

It's that sacred beast!
Chen Ming was stunned.

Previously, Du Caiyue said that this sacred beast possessed the power of both ice and fire attributes, and he thought it was like himself, able to perfectly switch between these two powers.

As a result, the two forces within it were truly incompatible.

Even after exploding like that, the monster is still alive, which shows how incredibly resilient its body is. A human would have exploded long ago.

"No wonder the Moon Goddess Cult dared to make a move against it; they must have known about its situation all along."

Chen Ming tried to alleviate the discomfort caused by that first glance, thinking to himself.

Then, he sensed two other powerful forces.

"It's the Divine Treasury Realm!"

One of them practiced the Blood Demon Technique and was likely a member of the Moon Goddess Cult.

As for the other person, his aura was violent, yet there was a vague sense of familiarity about him. Who was he?

Chen Ming dared not use his Yin Spirit to look at the two people anymore, and could only sense them by their aura.

Then, an even more powerful and violent force appeared.

"Who is this? Their power seems to be inherited from the previous person, very similar, yet somewhat different..."

Just as I was thinking this, a huge space suddenly appeared before me.

Not far away, in the very center, there was a fire pit, and a huge, magnificent bird was soaking in it.

This bird has flames on one wing and ice crystals on the other. It must be a sacred beast that embodies both ice and fire.

At this moment, its situation was quite dire; it was trapped in a large net, and above it, a giant black bear was firmly pinning it down. It was struggling incessantly.

"Hahaha, it's actually a powerful demon that's almost transformed!"

A man in purple robes stood by the pool, laughing wildly, "No need to struggle, it's useless. This is an ancient treasure, the Demon-Binding Rope. Once a demon is bound, it will be difficult to break free."

"Now, you're mine! Behave yourself and become one with me!"

After he finished speaking, a drop of golden blood condensed between his brows.

"Demon Transformation Technique!"

Chen Ming recognized the secret technique used by the purple-robed man at a glance, and suddenly realized why he felt that the man's aura was somewhat familiar.

No wonder the Moon Goddess Church attacked this guardian beast; it turns out they had members of the Demon Transformation Sect by its side.

This sacred beast is indeed a priceless treasure to the people of the Demon Transformation Sect.

Now, that sacred beast is in trouble.

Chen Ming sighed inwardly, and the thought of retreating began to take root in his mind.

After all, the Demon Transformation Sect is the nemesis of the demon race. This guardian beast of the island was ambushed, trapped by the Demon Binding Rope, and suppressed by a black bear equivalent to the Divine Treasure Realm.

There was also a Moon Goddess Cult protector at the Divine Realm level nearby.

Even if he were to make a move, he wouldn't stand a chance of winning.
