Erha’s suggestion seemed good to Xiang Beifei. These Huangquan monsters are all quite powerful. Apart from some weaker desolate beasts, most have Heavenly Connection level strength. From recent encounters with the Meat-Winged Monster, it appears Xiaohei is capable of extracting crystal nuclei from these Huangquan monsters.
Xiaohei eagerly rubbed her paws, asking if perhaps they should go down and catch one for a try?
Xiang Beifei weighed the pros and cons briefly before shaking his head, saying: "No rush for now. These Huangquan monsters are busy battling here and won’t run away. Let’s locate Huangquan Hell first and then decide."
Celestial maiden Guanghui mentioned that the Eternal Night Demon King has been recuperating in Huangquan ever since being injured by Daoist Qingde. He could be hiding out in some corner here, and Xiang Beifei dared not alert him.
Such powerful existences would be troublesome if they suddenly emerged.
For now, Xiang Beifei plans to locate Helian Zheng, rescue him, and then cause commotion here. Even if he can’t kill the Eternal Night Demon King, he intends to leave a lasting impression.
Xiang Beifei continued flying forward, constantly dodging the powerful claws and massive tails extending from the battling Huangquan monsters.
Flying above Huangquan is far from safe. Though the monsters might not see Xiang Beifei, the battle shockwaves are too strong for Xiang Beifei to ignore completely.
He contemplated flying higher, but this place is bizarre; flying too high renders Huangquan Sea invisible, yet visible spaces are intermittently beset by violent attacks from Huangquan monsters.
Huangquan Sea is vast, obscenely huge. After flying for nearly half an hour, the sight still revealed endless slaughter, and he hadn’t found Huangquan Hell or even its boundary.
"Could that place be underwater in Huangquan?"
Xiang Beifei couldn’t help considering this possibility. Without any road signs, searching feels as aimless as finding a needle in a vast sea.
Xiaohei inquired about visiting the depths of Huangquan, offering to punch all Huangquan monsters into submission. She boasts a skill set for dealing with them!
"I understand your prowess, but now is not the time for fighting."
Xiang Beifei shook his head, surveying Huangquan Sea once more, pondering a moment before saying: "Let’s try descending without engaging them."
With some disappointment, Xiaohei tucked her paws away.
Xiang Beifei circled around to find a relatively open area before beginning his descent.
Calling it open is hardly accurate; the multitude of monsters in Huangquan resembles drops in a pot, leaving little room to land.
He noticed a human clutching onto a saber-toothed tiger’s tooth, tossing the massive beast away, clearing a large space, which prompted Xiang Beifei to quickly head there.
Upon approaching, Xiang Beifei realized Huangquan not only contained yellow water but also many mangled flesh pieces and shattered bones, floating and sinking with a stench despite spiritual power barriers, making him frown.
Erha remarked that the flesh and bone debris in Huangquan looked akin to a colossal pot of yellow bone broth, like his skeleton race’s yellow fire stew, only seasoning was missing to make it edible.
"You want to eat that too? You really have no standards."
Xiang Beifei smirked slightly, then cautiously stepped into Huangquan water, enveloping himself in spiritual power. This corrosive liquid would reduce ordinary humans to blood upon contact, requiring great caution.
However, just as he submerged half his body, the seawater violently churned below, followed by a terrifying wave that surged and thrust him out.
Quickly stabilizing himself mid-air, Xiang Beifei turned to see a giant one-horned whale emerging from where he’d started descending, toppling him.
The whale’s goal wasn’t him; two tongue-like appendages emerged from its mouth, twisting like braided ropes as they grabbed and engulfed the human-like creature that defeated the saber-toothed tiger.
But moments after swallowing the human, its belly exploded. The human forcibly tore apart the fifty-plus meter whale from within!
With red eyes, he let out a furious roar, grabbing the whale’s disconnected spinal bones with each hand, swinging them into the air and smashing them together!
Fragments collided with deafening noise, reducing the whale to shredded pieces. Bone scraps and Huangquan bloodwater cascaded like a waterfall!
Xiang Beifei couldn’t help but exclaim in awe, sidestepping to dodge the frightening Huangquan waters.
This human-like creature is formidable, outwardly displaying power exceeding Xiang Beifei’s. Even facing the Flaming Six Wings previously didn’t convey such overwhelming pressure.
Without doubt, Xiang Beifei thought, if this Huangquan human-like creature fought with Flaming Six Wings, Flaming Six Wings would likely be torn apart effortlessly!
"Luckily, these Huangquan monsters are only dominant here."
Xiang Beifei breathed a sigh of relief, recalling that during the attack on Hanxia, the Eternal Night Demon King didn’t unleash numerous Huangquan monsters, clearly restrained by concerns. Otherwise, such powerful forces would overwhelm Hanxia and Jiuzhou’s defenses.
