A comic book journey to see the Eye of Antiquity

"And of course, there are my gourmet cells. Let them go to the Sixth Continent to complete their evolution!"

(PS: How is it, everyone? Doesn't the writing style seem to have improved a lot in terms of the control over the Eighth Prince's personality and the description of the character?)

0552 Fish dish, King Whale defeated.

The sixth continent is different from other continents. Although it is called a continent, it is actually an ocean.

After all, the ruler of the Sixth Continent is King Mu En of the Whales. Just from the name, you can tell that he is the strongest of a species of whale, and whales must live in the sea.

Therefore, in fact, there are only seven continents in the culinary world, and the sixth continent is the ocean that separates the seven continents.

At this moment, Yang Lei and Xiao Ma had arrived at the sea. No matter what setbacks they encountered along the way, they were able to easily resolve them. Riding on a wisp of air, they were leisurely sinking into the depths of the sea.

This ocean is so vast that it seems bottomless.

Actually, it's easy to understand if you think about it. The ocean is different from land. It's not just measured in planar area, but in three-dimensional area, meaning it's not only vast, but also deep.

Yang Lei was using his activated pupil technique to look around. He had already found the location of Whale King Mu En long ago. He didn't even need to look for him. Whale King Mu En was actively rushing towards him.

It seems that Whale King must have watched his battle with Ape King before. After learning that Yang Lei had arrived on the Sixth Continent, he did not choose to run away, but instead charged over with the spirit and confidence of a king.

Yang Lei remained unfazed, glancing at Whale King before turning his attention elsewhere. He quickly searched for his target in the vast ocean, prioritizing the whereabouts of Another over the Seven Beasts.

"what?"

Suddenly, Yang Lei let out a soft exclamation. He was astonished when he finally spotted the other fish. Several pure white fish, each just over the size of a person, were rushing toward him at a speed exceeding the speed of light.

"Is that an ANOTHER? And an adult fish at that?"

Yang Lei couldn't help but mutter to himself. Judging from the looks of it, these ANOTHER routes were all heading this way, which meant that they were led here by Yang Lei.

"Did they choose me?"

Yang Lei couldn't help but feel smug, but soon he shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity it's not. This is a case of sacrificing the pawn to save the king, isn't it? There are still a lot of adult fish hiding in the Soul World, and these few are just a way to distract me or prevent me from entering the Soul World."

"It seems that they must have sensed it when my physical clone entered the Soul World in its Grim Reaper form."

"You are indeed clever fish. Although there are only five, since you have offered yourselves to us, I will grant your wish."

Yang Lei's mutterings had long piqued the curiosity of the little horse beside him. Since it didn't have any eye techniques, it naturally couldn't see what Yang Lei was seeing.

But the next moment, Xiao Ma was shocked. Five pure white fish quickly came from afar and began to circle around the bubble where they were.

Although no thoughts were expressed, Yang Lei understood their meaning and nodded, promising, "Since you have taken the initiative to appear before me, I naturally do not need to go to the Soul World to capture more of you."

Xiao Ma didn't understand Yang Lei's meaning, but the ANOTHERs seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. They stopped circling around him and instead burrowed into the bubbles, floating beside Yang Lei as if they were his pets.

Seeing this, Yang Lei suddenly felt a little reluctant to cook them. Raising an ANOTHER seemed quite interesting, huh?

"Roar."

Just then, a deafening roar that could shake the entire ocean came from afar, followed by a dark blue shadow rushing toward them.

"It's the King Whale."

Little Horse was startled. Not long ago, he had just met the Ape King and the Deer King, so he could naturally recognize the aura of the other king.

"This is the delivery person bringing me shark fin soup."

Yang Lei laughed. Before the five ANOTHERs could subconsciously start to run away, he took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of Whale King. His speed far exceeded the speed of light, and he was completely unaffected by the underwater environment.

"Stop it right now."

Yang Lei was like a speck of sand in front of the whale king, but when he raised his hand and placed it on the whale king, he actually blocked the whale king's advance.

That was the whale king Mu En, a level 6,600 whale, a colossal creature with a height of 2,500 meters, a body length of 10,000 meters, and a weight of 1.5 trillion tons. Moreover, he had been charging at it with great force, but Yang Lei managed to hold him down with a simple gesture.

It's not an exaggeration to say that Yang Lei's power was already terrifying, not to mention that he could use chakra and magic to enhance his power.

Furthermore, even the full force of Horse King's hoof couldn't harm Yang Lei, and Whale King isn't known for such collisions, so it's understandable that Yang Lei could easily stop Whale King.

King Whale had clearly anticipated that it wouldn't be able to defeat Yang Lei with just one move, so it had a backup plan. At that moment, it opened its massive jaws and inhaled sharply...

Someone once said that King Mu'en's race is the black hole whale, implying that the whale's stomach is as big as a black hole, and also implying that the whale is like a black hole, capable of swallowing even light.

At that moment, as the whale king opened its mouth and swallowed, the surrounding sea area instantly became a vacuum zone. The surrounding seawater was unable to react and it took a while to 'fill' the area with seawater again.

Looking at Yang Lei, Whale King's swallowing technique was completely ineffective against him. He floated in front of Whale King, pressing its head without moving. No matter how hard Whale King struggled forward or how it opened its mouth to swallow, it couldn't deal with Yang Lei.

"Is that all you've got?"

After a while, Yang Lei saw that Whale King only had a few moves over and over again, and he couldn't help but get a little annoyed.

Why did I say before that the Ape King, who had the lowest rank, was the strongest among the eight kings?

Because the other eight kings only know a few so-called secret techniques, while the Ape King knows ape martial arts, and even the ape martial arts of the entire Seventh Continent were passed down by it.

Think about it, compared to those who know martial arts, the other eight princes are implicitly outmatched in strength.

Take King Whale as an example. Its special move is simply to open its mouth and swallow, using a suction force comparable to a black hole to devour its enemies. Even if Yang Lei were accidentally swallowed by it, he would instantly turn into a spirit, which is a soul state.

Of course, Yang Lei is different from others. Even if he dies by accident, he can be resurrected at any time because he can switch between a soul state and a living state.

Now that Yang Lei has captured five ANOTHERs, there is naturally no need to go to the Soul World anymore. At this moment, he pressed Whale King's head down, and no matter how hard it opened its mouth to suck, it did not budge an inch.

Chapter 651

"Let's end this farce as soon as possible."

Seeing that Whale King had no new tricks up its sleeve, Yang Lei shook his head and made a decision. He raised his hand and gently patted Whale King's head, instantly striking its pressure point.

Acupressure on the Eighth Prince?

It's hard to believe that someone could do something like that, even able to strike the Eighth Prince's pressure points. That's incredible!

But Yang Lei was not smug at all. He was now confident that he could even strike pressure points on the earth, let alone the 'mere' Eighth Prince.

"After collecting the shark fins, go hunt the seven beasts, and then evolve the gourmet cells!"

0553 Heading to the Fourth Continent

Yang Lei had nothing to say about Whale King, because it wasn't Whale King that protected humanity on the Sixth Continent, but rather the giant Shell, one of the Seven Beasts.

Therefore, Yang Lei tortured the whale king quite a bit, taking several fins from its body before releasing it from its pressure points.

Of course, before releasing the whale king, Yang Lei asked it if it would submit to him and become his king.

At first, the whale king remained silent, but the murderous intent emanating from Yang Lei was too much for it to bear. In the end, faced with a choice between life and death, it could only choose to compromise.

Yang Lei then let the Whale King leave and threatened it not to approach the Giant Shell among the Seven Beasts, while he ignored the other seven beasts.

After defeating the whale king, Yang Lei returned to the bubble, and set off again with the now somewhat unfazed little horse and five well-behaved food treasures, ANOTHER.

Instead of rushing to the Giant Shell, Yang Lei first found the other seven beasts and obtained some edible meat from each of them. Then he collected materials that could be used to make the Golden Kitchenware.

For example, the teeth of the Shark King 'Electric Shark' can be used to make kitchen knives, the rocks on the shell of the Turtle King 'Pandora' can be used to make cooking pots, and the body of the Coral King 'Coral Rem' can be used to make cutting boards, and so on.

Overall, the Kin-no-Kitchenware set consists of 16 pieces: a kitchen knife, a pot, a cutting board, a frying pan, a spoon, an apron and hat, and a spatula.

Of all the items, the spatula was the most difficult to handle because it required obtaining a certain mineral from the Giant Shell. When Yang Lei arrived at the 'Blue Restaurant' inside the Giant Shell, which was the human civilization of the Sixth Continent, the five ANOTHERs beside him shocked the people there.

In particular, even the leader, Slime, made an appearance.

Although slime is Yi Long's gourmet demon, it should still be inside Yi Long's body, serving as both Yi Long's gourmet cells and source of power, as well as his appetite.

In fact, slimes have the ability to create clones. One of its clones appeared in front of Yang Lei after discovering ANOTHER.

When the slime learned that Yang Lei's purpose in coming here was to collect the minerals of the Giant Shell, he made a condition: Yang Lei had to compete against the chef of the Blue Restaurant in exchange for ANOTHER.

In fact, Yang Lei could have easily taken away the necessary materials, or even the entire Giant Beta, simply by force.

But he didn't do that; instead, he actually competed with those so-called chefs.

During the cooking competition, Yang Lei not only asked his opponent to place additional bets on the giant shell minerals.

After all, the value of ANOTHER is much higher than that of the giant shell's mineral content, so it's reasonable for him to increase his bet.

What the slimes and the others didn't expect was that Yang Lei's additional condition was nothing more than the Giant Shell, which is the book of this human civilization.

Whether it's a storybook or any other kind of book, Yang Lei wanted them to prepare one of each kind for himself, so he could take it with him after he won.

As for the outcome of the contest, is it even necessary to say? Of course, Yang Lei won easily; there's no need to even think about it.

Even if the other party brings out ingredients that have become extinct, Yang Lei can easily complete the cooking with the help of the Eye of Knowledge. Not only is his speed unmatched, but the deliciousness of his cooking is also unparalleled.

In the end, Yang Lei left safely, carrying the giant shell minerals and a large number of books that the other party had willingly offered, under the watchful eyes of countless people filled with reverence.

After emerging from the giant shell, Yang Lei had essentially accomplished his goal of coming to the Sixth Continent.

However, there is one thing that is troubling him: he had originally planned to complete the evolution of the gourmet cells on the Sixth Continent, but it seems that he has not been able to evolve them yet.

"We can't keep delaying like this, can we?"

Yang Lei was torn, wondering whether he should search for similar ingredients on the sixth continent, or simply use the ingredients he had on hand.

Actually, the little horse next to it was also quite conflicted. Yang Lei had a lot of ingredients in his hand that made it very hungry. It instinctively felt that it would get great benefits once it ate them.

Especially the meat of the Eight Kings. Apart from the meat of its mother, the Horse King, the meat of the other eight kings can bring it great benefits. After all, those are the other eight kings who are comparable to its mother, or even stronger.

Unfortunately, Yang Lei neither eats it himself nor lets it eat it. After all, for a foodie, it's already hard enough to resist eating it, let alone watch others eat it. Isn't that just asking for trouble?

"Be patient."

Yang Lei could only persuade Xiao Ma in this way. In fact, he was also drooling and suppressing his urge to eat. He promised Xiao Ma, "Let's go to the Fourth Continent first. If my food cells still haven't found a chance to evolve, we'll just leave it at that and start eating on the Fourth Continent, how about that?"

What could Xiao Ma say? He could only nod.

It's no use not nodding. It kept protesting to Yang Lei the whole way, but if protesting worked, wouldn't it have been able to eat delicious food long ago?

And so, after a brief journey around the Sixth Continent, Yang Lei, with his enormous gains, led Xiao Ma on his way to the Fourth Continent.

On the way, Yang Lei created two physical clones. One clone took five ANOTHERs to the inner world for research and simple processing, in preparation for the upcoming cooking.

Unlike other Earth meals, ANOTHER's other ingredients are all edible and can be cooked; the only difficulty lies in capturing them.

Unlike other ANOTHERs, which are extremely difficult to catch and cook, they cannot be eaten raw and must be processed before becoming edible.

So Yang Lei plans to cook up ANOTHER and put it in his personal space before eating the whole Earth meal. It's fun to have it with him all the time, but it will be very troublesome when he actually starts eating it.

One physical clone went to research the processing and cooking methods of ANOTHER, while the other physical clone was not idle either, taking the materials obtained from the seven beasts to start making golden kitchen utensils.

Originally, Yang Lei certainly didn't know how to make it, but that didn't matter. He not only had the book about golden kitchen utensils that he got from the Giant Shell, but also the high-end kitchen utensils he had bought in the human world.

Those high-end kitchen utensils are all made by famous people, such as the Merkle knife and the cookware made by Lifang, etc.

Although it wasn't specially made or made of any high-end materials, it was indeed made by them.

Chapter 652

In this way, Yang Lei was able to find out their skills, such as Tsukishima's abilities and the analysis of the Eye of Knowledge. Soon, Yang Lei became an expert in this field.

With the successful production of a large number of golden kitchen utensils, ANOTHER was finally able to start cooking.

Meanwhile, Yang Lei and Xiao Ma also arrived on the Fourth Continent.

0554 Gourmet Cell Evolution Level 11

The fourth continent is known as the continent with the largest food area. It is not only the habitat of the Serpent King among the Eight Kings, but also the birthplace of EARTH, the dessert in the complete meal of Earth.

Because of its largest area, the fourth continent is home to a wide variety of life forms. Since the Queen Snake, also known as the Snake King, is carnivorous, the plant level is generally much higher than the animal level. Level 4,000 is very common, and level 5,000 is not uncommon.

It was here that Yang Lei's culinary skills finally evolved once again.

Since leaving the Death Maze, Yang Lei has traveled through the Seventh, Sixth, and Fifth Continents from the Eighth Continent. However, it wasn't until the Fourth Continent that he finally managed to evolve his Gourmet Cells to the Eleventh Level. Yang Lei was so excited that he almost cried his eyes out.

Of course, it wasn't just because this level of gourmet cells was too difficult to evolve; there was another reason that excited him so much: not only were his attribute values ​​and physical qualities improved once again, but he also discovered that his inner self, which had already transformed into a colored diamond material form, had actually returned to the pure gold stage.

As Yang Lei's culinary cells evolved to an advanced stage, his internal body, such as cells, flesh, and bones, underwent some changes.

First it emitted a golden light, then it transformed into a pure gold-like substance. Finally, when it evolved to the tenth level, it underwent another qualitative change and became a diamond-like substance.

Now, when his gourmet cells evolved to level eleven, his body's inner core reverted to pure gold. What does this mean?

"So, I'm returning to simplicity?"

Yang Lei succinctly revealed the secret: when he evolved to a certain level, his body no longer underwent miraculous changes, but instead began to evolve back to its original, simple form.

In other words, he has a chance to become a 'normal person' again.

At least the shape and color of blood and flesh will return to the normal range.

Yang Lei couldn't help but feel a little excited. It was still pure gold now. He wondered if it would revert to its original state when the food cells evolved to the twelfth level.

Constitution: 73,666,600 points; Strength: 76,666,600 points; Agility: 74,666,600 points; Spirit: 72,666,600 points.

When Yang Lei's food cells finally evolved to level eleven, all his attributes increased by fifty million points.

Yang Lei said he had predicted such a terrifying number of attribute points.
