Chapter 1122: One Stalking Another

“Zi Ying, doesn’t that mean all these Soaring Ants can evolve into Seven-colored Heaven-devouring Beasts?” Jian Chen asked in surprise . If it were true, then the number of divine beasts would have been just too terrifying .

“Master, that can be the case on paper, but it’s impossible to get them all to evolve into Seven-colored Heaven-devouring Beast, because even in our vast and powerful world, there are extremely few of them . They’re basically miraculous existences, so it’s impossible for there to be too many Seven-colored Heaven-Devouring Beasts,” said Zi Ying .

“It’s a pity that this one only has two lights so far, so it’s not a true Seven-colored Heaven-devouring Beast . Only after it evolves to seven lights does it become a true divine beast . However, the evolutions require vast quantities of energy . It’s already extremely difficult for it to evolve to two colors in a place like this that lacks so many resources . It’s absolutely impossible to evolve to seven colors . ” Qing Suo’s voice rang through Jian Chen’s head as well . It was filled with some pity .

“All you can say is that the divine beast was born in the wrong place . If it was in our world, it would probably evolve to seven colors in less than ten thousand years,” said Zi Ying . His voice was also filled with regret, feeling pity for the divine beast .

“Zi Ying, Qing Suo, if the divine beast fully evolves, what level of strength will it possess?” Jian Chen asked . He was curious to know more about the Seven-colored Heaven-devouring Beast since the sword spirits paid so much attention to it .

This was because he knew the sword spirits possessed a very great background . Ordinary things would never pique their interest .

“To the Seven-colored Heaven-devouring Beast, the seven lights are a type of bloodline . It’s the indication of abilities and not a representation of strength . Only by fully evolving will it become a true divine beast . A few beasts with decent talent can reach seven colors in a thousand years, but their strength probably isn’t even at the level of Saint Emperor in this world . Meanwhile, there are some Seven-colored Heaven-devouring Beasts with only one or two colors that can reach the utmost peak through arduous cultivation . Their only weakness is that their natural abilities are nowhere near as powerful as true divine beasts,” explained Zi Ying .

Jian Chen gained an understanding with that explanation . If the Seven-colored Heaven-devouring Beast could evolve into a true divine beast with seven colors, it would be like the white tiger, possessing strength that exceeded its cultivation level and various unbelievable abilities . However, if it wanted to truly become powerful, it still needed to cultivate continuously .

“The Seven-colored Heaven-devouring Beast is evolved from insects . It is not a species by itself . When it is young, it will follow various species of insects through different forms, but as it rapidly evolves and becomes a true divine beast, its final form is all the same . ”

“Back in our world, there was a vast number of insect species . Many of the magical beasts in this world are even part of these insect species . Our world is vastly different from the world you used to live in master . The insect species in master’s previous world probably did not even amount to a thousandth of all the species in our world,” said Zi Ying .

“A few king beasts will definitely appear in every species, and the Seven-colored Heaven-devouring beast is one of the kings of the insects,” Qing Suo explained .

Obviously, the Soaring Ants had their own territory . Now that Jian Chen had left their land, the flood-like ants had all dispersed .

Jian Chen gazed at the fist-sized, Seven-colored Heaven-devouring beast from afar . A gleam of light flashed through his eyes .

“Zi Ying, Qing Suo, how likely am I to tame the beast?” Jian Chen asked .

Zi Ying and Qing Suo did not reply immediately . They remained silent for a while before saying, “This Seven-colored Heaven-devouring Beast has already lived for a very long time . I can already sense pulses from a conscience . It already possesses intelligence . Coupled with the fact that it's no weaker than master right now as well as its natural pridefulness, taming it is almost impossible . ”

Jian Chen secretly sighed . The Seven-colored Heaven-devouring Beast was different from the white tiger . The white tiger began following him soon after it was born . They had gone through many hardships together, so a good relationship had been established long ago . It would indeed be very difficult if he wanted to get the divine beast to followed him as easily as the white tiger . It was practically impossible .

“But it’s not completely impossible,” Qing Suo suddenly added . After a moment of silence, she said, “The resources here are far too lacking, so it can’t evolve to seven colors . We may be able to use this fact, but now is not the time . We need to wait until master has the ability to completely suppress it, and only then will there be a sliver of success . ”

“The only weakness of Seven-colored Heaven-devouring Beasts are their souls . If you get the Heavenly Enchantress who is good with soul attacks to come along as well, your chances will greatly increase,” said Zi Ying .

Jian Chen knew that it was not time for him to try to tame the Seven-colored Heaven-devouring beast . He traveled far away and detoured around the Soaring Ants’ territory . Afterward, he found a safe place to release Zhou Chuyun and the others from the saint artifact .

Appearing again, all of their wounds had been completely healed . Jian Chen had already secretly ordered the artifact spirit long ago to heal their wounds, so all of them were brimming with vitality . Zhou Ling and the other Heaven Saint Masters were still rather shaken, having not returned to their senses from the fright before .

Zhou Chuyun and Liu Jun both thanked Jian Chen . They knew that if it were not for Jian Chen’s help, they would have been reduced to freezing corpses .

“Senior Yang Yutian, where was that place before? Why did I feel like it was another world? That world was actually filled with extremely-pure Radiant Saint Force that healed me in just a few seconds . It was miraculous,” Zhou Lin asked Jian Chen as she hugged his arm . Her face was filled with curiosity .

“That was a treasure . ” Jian Chen gave a simple reply and did not go into detail . Afterward, he continued to follow Zhou Chuyun who was searching for the divine water of the world .

Everyone became much more cautious after the experience with the Soaring Ants . They remained alert at all times, unwilling to be careless .

In the blink of an eye, Jian Chen’s group had stayed in the depths of the divine realm for seven days . They had come across various dangers during that time . Not only were there feral beasts, there were also forces of nature .

Not only did the forces of nature include the corrosive rain and soul-injuring lightning, even huge whirlwinds would also form from time to time . Once sucked into the wind, everything, no matter how tough, would be ripped to pieces . However, what was puzzling was that the whirlwinds would only impact foreign objects and could not destroy anything from the divine realm .

During those seven days, Jian Chen did not find the divine water of the world, but he did obtain quite a few thunderstones . Jian Chen only kept the thunderstones of the 15th or 16th Star, handing the rest to Zhou Chuyun and the others . They became so happy that they struggled to keep their mouths closed .

There were extremely few people in the depths of the divine realm, rarely did anyone set foot there . Jian Chen’s group had only run into less than ten people while they had been there .

During that time, Jian Chen had asked Zhou Chuyun and the others about the spirit sea, but he learned nothing at all . The spirit sea was where the divine water of the world appeared . Finding the spirit sea would equate to finding the origins of the divine water .

Jian Chen’s group had already approached the only tunnel into the depths . The adventurers in the surroundings gradually increased, ranging from Heaven Saint Masters to Saint Rulers . There would even be one or two Saint Kings from time to time .

However, almost all of them maintained a radius of a hundred kilometers . They wanted to try their luck . Other than Saint Kings, very few people dared to venture any further .

“Sigh, I’ve once entered the depths of the divine realm many times despite the hardships in search of the divine water, but I’ve always returned empty-handed . I heard that signs of it have now appeared in the depths, so I wish I can find it and completely heal the injuries of my soul . ” A disheveled old man murmured to himself as he walked around nearby .

Jian Chen’s eyes narrowed when he saw the old man . He was a rather powerful Saint King at the Fifth Heavenly Layer, someone who had just reached the 16th Star .

Jian Chen followed Zhou Chuyun quickly as they traveled to the tunnel that connected the two regions . They came across more and more people and could even hear some of them discussing the matter about a supreme expert venturing into the Mountains of the Sleeping Dragon a few days ago .

“I’ve found it, I’ve finally found it . ” Suddenly, Zhou Chuyun at the very front excitedly called out . He shot to a hundred-meter-wide hole in the ground nearby .

The hole seemed to have been formed by the residue of a battle between experts, but the surrounding ground was extremely level, as if a battle had never occurred there . A huge tree was planted in the center of the hole .

“This was one of the signs I left behind, and I had even planted a tree native to the divine realm so it would be easier to recognize . In order to prevent people from destroying the signs I had left, I planted quite a few of them, and they all point to the location of the divine water . The other signs should be nearby . Let’s look for them quickly . We still can’t find the location with this sign alone . ” Zhou Chuyun explained before immediately heading off to search for the other signs .

Very soon, Zhou Chuyun found the other signs and verified where the divine water of the world was . He immediately hurried off with Jian Chen and the others .

At the same time, Lan Mo had passed through the tunnel with the experts of the Hundred-footed clan . He had used a secret technique to confirm the location of the Blue Sky Adventurers before pursuing .

Right after the people of the Hundred-footed clan had left, the experts of the Huangdao clan appeared nearby . They had discovered the tracks of the Hundred-footed clan long ago, tailing them secretly by completely erasing their presences .

“Looks like we only need to follow the people from the Hundred-footed clan to find where the divine water is . This really does not take any effort at all! Everyone, hide well and don’t get too close,” sneered an old man . They continued to silently tail the people of the Hundred-footed clan from behind .
