Picking up the corpse of the slain beast, Lu Xuan threw the flesh of the Jiao Dragon Queen to the Deep Sea Poison Jiao Dragon. To his surprise, it was still consuming the flesh of the Consolidation Realm creatures at a ridiculously fast absorption rate. The Deep Sea Poison Jiao Dragon had unknowingly unlocked the powers of the Consolidation Realm.

In Lu Xuan’s eyes, although the creature still lacked skills in terms of battle, it had nevertheless passed the threshold of the Consolidation Realm. With Genuine Dragon blood that naturally flowed within its Poisonous Dragon body, the creature was definitely still stronger than Li Shou.

The Deep Sea Poison Jiao Dragon now had the stable form of a Jiao Dragon. It had grown out four sharp talons, and two deer-like antlers had begun to sprout on its head.

If it continued to purify its blood, it had the potential to be an unstoppable force in the future.

“Master, I wish to eat more flesh of Consolidation Realm monsters,” this fool of a Deep Sea Poison Jiao Dragon said to Lu Xuan. “A few more and I can reach the peak of the Consolidation Realm.”

There was excitement in its tone. To be able to consume so many monsters of a high level must have been a joyous experience.

“Even if this is how monsters normally grow, this is too fast!”

Lu Xuan squinted his eyes and teleported himself into the Sky Ocean Secret Realm.

According to his calculations, the Deep Sea Poison Jiao Dragon had been growing at an alarming speed.

As Lu Xuan observed the creature closely, he discovered the foolish monster had the rare ability to continuously swallow anything in its path.

An ability like this was extremely rare. Traveling the world in his past life, Lu Xuan had rarely come across any with such a talent.

Entities with this ability were able to continuously consume energy and therefore continuously grow. It was a truly something unique.

Moreover, what made this ability rarer was its non-conformation to the law of division.

Magics were divided into several categories. There were abilities that had been honed to their fullest potential by some. This was done through continuous refinement till the individual gained a monopoly of the ability. From there, the ability would be passed down through their bloodline.

In the present day, many monsters followed the same process and gained such abilities through the constant awakening of the bloodline’s powers within them.

Lu Xuan’s born Taoism aptitude did not differ much from that. As long as Lu Xuan constantly evolved the bloodline’s powers that were present in his born Taoism aptitude, he could constantly strengthen the Delusion-breaker Eye.

In the time when he reached his peak, with just the Delusion-breaker Eye, Lu Xuan could survey the Nine Heavens and the Nine Voids. The hundreds and thousands of realms were visible to him. He had an unprecedented ability that could not be matched by anyone.

Aside from the ability to swallow endlessly, another magics it had was an ability that had no precedence, nor did it abide by any law.

It was an ability that existed only to those who knew. Like the ability to swallow endlessly, Lu Xuan had only seen a few in his past life in many different clans, and none could be explained by any law. Abilities such as this were gifts from the Heavens and the Earth, and the users of the such must have been greatly favored by them.

It was beyond his expectations that this fool of a creature was able to awaken such an ability.

If the monster had reached the peak of its abilities, it would have the power to swallow realms—with one mouthful, it could swallow a thousand realms. That was when it would be truly formidable.

This ability to swallow worlds and grow its own powers would pose a problem even for strong Celestial Lords. This ability was harder to come by than the bloodline of a Genuine Dragon and hence was beyond precious.

The Deep Sea Poison Jiao Dragon’s potential had grown exponentially.

“I thought I was raising this fool to become a Genuine Dragon.” Lu Xuan was euphoric. “Who would’ve thought that I had been raising a Realm Swallowing Beast!”

The potential of a Genuine Dragon was worlds apart from the potential of a Realm Swallowing Beast!

The only downside was that Deep Sea Poison Jiao Dragon’s ability to swallow endlessly was in the most basic state and version. Without enough improvements, it was incomparable to the abilities of a Realm Swallowing Beast at its peak.

It was because of how basic it was that it took Lu Xuan so long to realize. If it had not been for his sudden observation that the Deep Sea Poison Jiao Dragon had been growing unusually fast as it swallowed its meal this time, he would have missed this crucial finding.

“Looks like I’ll have to intensify your training!”

Lu Xuan squinted his eyes, and a sharp light flickered within them.

He intended to leave the Tempest Ocean Realm as soon as he had gained an upper hand there. But after he had witnessed the potential of the Deep Sea Poison Jiao Dragon, Lu Xuan decided to hunt a few Consolidation Realm monsters for him.

In comparison to the handful of Consolidation Realm users in the human world, the Tempest Ocean Realm was packed with many such individuals , where the numbers far exceeded one’s imagination.

Lu Xuan realized he could kill two birds with one stone: one to train the Deep Sea Poison Jiao Dragon, and the second to eliminate the Consolidation Realm monsters. These Tyrants of the Deep Sea had brought upon mankind many traumatic calamities.

He was aware he could not completely eradicate every Consolidation Realm monster in the Tempest Ocean Realm. However, the monsters were a result of the countless years of natural selection and growth in the realm.

If it was possible to fully eradicate them now when a new Consolidation Realm Deep Sea Tyrant had emerged, there would be a drop in the number of these monsters and their skills compared to the present.

This would delay the Great Monster Apocalypse by years and the Jiao Dragon Palace would lack manpower for any future invasions, thus giving mankind sufficient time to nurture more Consolidation Realm individuals.

In that future, mankind’s ability would have grown tremendously and the Five Consolidations of the Four Great Holy Lands would not be the sole vulnerable force of defense.

If the XuanHuo Sect Leader had not been the best of the Cultivators, the dark fate of mankind would be unimaginable.

However, these things were out of Lu Xuan’s control. The spiritual connotation of the humans in the Tempest Ocean was much stronger than the spiritual connotation of the humans on earth, yet both were vastly inferior when matched up with the strong Northern Demonic Sect and the Jiao Dragon Palace of the Tempest Ocean Realm.

No matter how powerful Lu Xuan was, he had to leave eventually. He could not stay to protect them forever. Only with a clan with people strong enough would be able to consistently withstand future attacks.

With this thought, Lu Xuan had made up his mind and disappeared from this region of the ocean.

Half a day had passed, and a creature the size of a mountain appeared this very region. With its piercing cold gaze, it surveyed the surroundings.

Suddenly he caught a whiff of his beloved wife’s blood. Although the waves had washed away all traces, he could still detect the smell.

The death of his wife, whom would not have a chance to ever meet again, started to sink in.

“Who! Who did this!”

As the creature roared, he remembered the message from his beloved wife. It was short and vague: a human. But who it was not specified.

“I will tear all of you apart, I will destroy all of mankind!”

The creature roared once more, his voice resounding through the Deep Sea.

It did not occur to him, as he plotted on eradicating mankind, that his own base would be raided by humans themselves. Even less so, that his dear wife’s life had tragically lost in the hands of a human.

He was overcome with grief and a vengeful grudge burned fiercely within his heart.
