Cultivation begins in Qingfeng Market.

The vast sea groaned under the pressure of the two forces.

The sea surface was pressed down by an invisible pressure, forming a huge arc-shaped surface.

The giant whale was stuck at the intersection of the two forces.

The giant whale sensed the threat of death.

It's gone mad.

Its enormous body, hundreds of feet long, began to struggle wildly, releasing its demonic power without reservation, completely dyeing the sea within a hundred miles in pitch black.

Countless water columns shot into the sky, each one imbued with black demonic power, exploding in the clouds.

The clouds were stirred up by demonic power, forming a thunderstorm that covered a hundred miles in the sky.

Dark clouds rolled in, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and torrential rain poured down.

But it didn't work.

Lin Zhao and Tian Hao made their moves simultaneously.

The two major domains were like two millstones, grinding down from both sides.

The thunderstorm was forcibly dispersed, the dark clouds were torn to shreds, and the lightning was cut down by sword energy before it could even strike.

The water columns were burned and shattered one by one, and even the water vapor was evaporated by Haoyang.

The seawater below was cut into small, independent spaces by the sharp sword energy, and the seawater was pushed aside by the fierce edge, unable to get close.

The two of them worked together, even forcefully, to lift the giant whale out of the sea.

The giant whale, hundreds of feet tall, was lifted into the air by an invisible force, hovering between the two major domains.

The giant whale thrashed and struggled in the air, each twist bringing with it a storm of spiritual energy, but it could not break free.

On one side was scorching heat, while the bright sunlight burned its left side.

The scales cracked, curled, and turned red under the high temperature, and the flesh sizzled as it was roasted, filling the air with a burnt smell.

On one side, sharp sword energy sliced ​​through its right side.

The scales were peeled off piece by piece, revealing the pink demon flesh underneath. Then the demon flesh was also sliced ​​off by the sword energy, and blood poured out like a waterfall.

However, the vitality of a peak third-tier demonic beast is simply too tenacious.

It was still tumbling violently in the air.

The charred flesh was rapidly regenerating, and the cut wounds were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Lin Zhao looked at the scene and felt that something was wrong.

They were baking on one side and slicing on the other.

He and Tianhao exchanged a glance across the sea, dozens of miles apart.

They both saw a strange look on each other's faces—what was this?

The sect's secret holy son,

He switched careers and became a chef.

The two teamed up to hunt monsters, but ended up roasting a whole whale in the open air on the battlefield.

Lin Zhao was the first to look away.

Tianhao also coughed lightly.

Forget it.

Let's kill this beast first.

The two no longer held back.

The battle lasted for a day and a night.

The two had thoroughly experienced the defense and vitality of a peak third-tier demonic beast.

Although their attacks could injure it, each time a wound was inflicted, the giant whale's demonic power would surge forth, healing it at a visible speed.

Scales break and new ones grow; flesh burns and another layer regenerates.

The two bombarded the whale for a day and a night before finally breaking through its defenses.

Three suns soared into the sky, beams of light shooting forth simultaneously.

The Vast Sun Sword Lotus unleashes its sword energy.

The two forces simultaneously entered the giant whale's body, collided at its core, and then exploded.

The explosion silenced everything. The sea was still for a moment.

Then—boom! The sea, hundreds of miles away, trembled.

The whale's body was torn apart from the inside, exploding into hundreds of pieces. Flesh, scales, and bones scattered everywhere, crashing into the sea and creating waves several meters high.

The sea was a mess.

Blood, bits of flesh, and floating entrails were everywhere. The stench of the demonic creature mixed with the smell of burning flesh made people want to vomit.

The two landed on the sea, wading through the water, panting heavily.

After a full day and night of intense output, my spiritual energy is almost depleted.

The two underestimated the power of a peak third-tier demonic beast. If it were just one of them, they would probably be in trouble. Third-tier demonic beasts are much harder to kill than Core Formation cultivators.

To put it bluntly, although the two are strong in combat, they are only at the early stage of Core Formation.

They are able to unleash attacks at the peak of the Core Formation stage thanks to the enhancement of their great supernatural powers and magical treasures.

Other methods haven't caught up yet.

If they were truly peak Core Formation cultivators, they wouldn't need a day and a night to kill this giant whale—

They can directly penetrate defenses, shatter demon cores, and sever divine consciousness, or use various secret techniques to suppress the self-healing ability of demonic beasts, all in one smooth motion.

Now...

The two looked at each other and shook their heads simultaneously.

Start cleaning up the battlefield.

Demon core, scales, giant bones, flesh and blood—not a single one can be wasted. A peak third-tier demon beast is a treasure trove from head to toe.

The cultivators of the Endless Demon Sea possess a special method for processing the flesh and blood of demonic beasts—they use secret techniques to condense the enormous, unmanageable flesh and blood of these beasts into individual blood crystals.

Blood crystals can only be formed by monsters of the second rank or higher.

A single blood crystal contains spiritual power comparable to a mid-grade spirit stone, and has a wide range of uses—it can be used for setting up formations, refining weapons, making pills, and driving large magical artifacts.

The only drawback is that it contains too many impurities and cannot be used directly for cultivation.

Of course, demonic cultivators don't care about this.

The two used their magic to collect the scattered flesh and blood of the giant whale from the sea.

The spiritual energy enveloped the flesh and blood, compressed and tempered it, removing impurities and condensing the essence into fist-sized dark red crystals.

In the end, the two worked together to condense tens of thousands of blood crystals.

The demon core went to Lin Zhao, the scales and giant bones went to Tian Hao, and the blood crystals were split in half.

On the distant sea, low-level demonic beasts could already be seen gathering—they had smelled the blood and were surging in from all directions, vying for the remaining fragments of flesh and blood.

"It's time to go," Tianhao said.

Lin Zhao nodded.

The two transformed into streaks of light and flew low over the sea for half a day before catching up with the Dinghai, which had already sailed far away.

The protective array was still useless to them. The two silently returned to their respective rooms, as if nothing had happened.

Lin Zhao closed the door and let out a long breath.

His spiritual energy and divine sense were almost completely exhausted. He leaned against the door for a while before sitting down cross-legged.

There are so many powerful cultivators in this world.

That Tianhao is indeed a monster.

The Great Divine Power of Vast Sun and Heavenly Sun—if he hadn't used the Heavenly Heart Wheel to forcibly seize a portion of the opponent's Vast Sun Power to enhance the power of the Sword Lotus, the Azure Lotus Sword Domain alone really wouldn't have been able to withstand it.

In terms of strength, Tianhao is stronger than Qinglian's clone. Even the Five Mountains clones might not be able to defeat him; only the main body can suppress him.

In the process of using his own power, he also roughly figured out some details of that great supernatural power.

The power of Haoyang is not actually of the fire attribute.

His power is too pure; it should be of the Yang attribute.

Haoyang, it should be Haoyang.

Tianlu Divine Sect, Tianhao Holy Son.

Lin Zhao silently recited the name in his mind and began to meditate to recover his spiritual power.

However, Tianhao wasn't having an easy time either. The mana consumption of his great divine power was more severe than that of Lin Zhao's Five Sacred Mountains Suppressing Heavenly Dragon.

He barely made it back, and he's probably in his room trying his best to regulate his breathing right now.

Lin Zhao closed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

This time it's barely a tie.
