Chapter 839: Chapter 839 Seaborne Hunt

The Tiger Shark Demon moved incredibly fast in the water, and under normal circumstances, a cultivator diving into the sea would find their flying speed greatly reduced. After all, the resistance met with underwater is a completely different matter compared to air resistance, and it would be impossible to catch up with the Tiger Shark Demon.

However, Su Chengyu carried the South Sea Mermaid Pearl, which not only purifies the body and reinforces the Dao Heart but also functions as a water repellent. That’s why Su Chengyu dared to chase into the deep sea.

As he plunged into the ocean, Su Chengyu’s body lit up with a green glow, a sign of the South Sea Mermaid Pearl’s water-repelling ability. This allowed him to fly through the water without much impedance, quickly catching up to the Tiger Shark Demon and blocking its path.

"So, Tiger Shark Demon, weren’t you going to eat me? Why are you running? I’d like to taste what shark meat is like," Su Chengyu said leisurely.

"How... How can you be so fast?" the Tiger Shark Demon asked in disbelief.

Su Chengyu did not respond to the Tiger Shark Demon, but instead attacked with his sword. The demon thought that in the deep sea, a cultivator’s strength would be greatly diminished while it was like a fish in water, seeing an opportunity to kill this human whelp.

All at once, the Tiger Shark Demon opened its gaping maw and created a massive suction, drawing the seawater into its mouth like a whirlpool. Numerous fish around it were devoured by the demon’s large mouth.

Su Chengyu was not spared from this powerful force of suction and was sucked into the demon’s mouth.

The Tiger Shark Demon closed its mouth, eyes gleaming with a sly expression as it slowly swam towards the surface.

"Human brat, you want to eat my flesh? What wishful thinking. On the surface, I cannot defeat you, but here in the deep sea, you are no match for me and are destined to be buried in my stomach," the Tiger Shark Demon said complacently.

However, just as it was about to reach the surface, hoping to find its next prey, it suddenly felt a strange sensation in its belly, followed by intense pain. The Tiger Shark Demon writhed in agony in the water.

Puff!

A brilliant blue light burst forth from the back of the Tiger Shark Demon, revealing Su Chengyu’s figure. The shark demon floated on the water’s surface, breathing its last, as the surrounding seawater turned red with its blood.

Su Chengyu landed, standing on the Tiger Shark Demon’s head. He swung the Dragon Slayer Sword, severing the demon’s fins—the most exquisite part of its flesh and undoubtedly a delicacy.

The rest of the Tiger Shark Demon’s body was devoured by the Heaven-Mending Stone, and its inner core was pocketed by Su Chengyu.

The bodies of the Demon Clan are treasures, containing strong essence not only in their inner cores but also in their flesh, which can be refined. The corpses of many demon beasts are also materials for crafting magical artifacts.

After slaying the Tiger Shark Demon, Su Chengyu continued flying over the sea, looking for the next island while hunting sea demons along the way. If he encountered anything particularly fierce, he would flee, but the most formidable creature he encountered in two days was a Shadow Sea Snake Demon with the strength of the Demon King Realm.

Su Chengyu had once encountered Shadow Snake Demons by the sea and almost lost his life if not for Ye Qingci’s rescue. Those Shadow Snake Demons had gained power from the Shadow Sea Snake Demon, transforming into demon men.

Adult Shadow Sea Snake Demons belong to the Demon King Realm, but more formidable ones can reach the Demon Emperor or even the Demon Monarch stage.

However, within the first layer of the Kunwu Realm, there should be no demon beasts of the Demon Monarch stage. The most powerful would be at the Demon Emperor stage. Once these demon beasts in the first layer cultivate to the Demon Monarch stage, they will be captured and taken to the second layer of the Kunwu Realm.

This was also to ensure the safety of those undergoing the trials. Otherwise, a Demon Monarch of the Hollow Realm could emerge, and that would leave none of the trial participants alive.

After all, the highest realm for those on the first layer of the trial is the Golden Core Realm, which is no match for a Demon Emperor.

There are not many Demon Emperors in the Kunwu Realm, and these Demon Emperors generally do not leave their territories, like the Demon Emperor Stage Two-Headed Golden Lion, whose realm is already the highest in the first layer of the Kunwu Realm. It usually does not leave its island, but if someone were to go there, they could only consider themselves unlucky, with death being their only path.

Su Chengyu was lucky, as the Two-Headed Golden Lion was guarding the heavenly treasures in its den, and thus didn’t come out to hunt; otherwise, had Su Chengyu been teleported to that island, his chances of survival would have been slim.

The Sea Phantom Snake Demon that Su Chengyu encountered had just reached adulthood, equivalent to an early Golden Core Realm cultivator. Su Chengyu was no match for it and originally planned to escape, but the Heaven-Mending Stone took action and killed the Sea Phantom Snake Demon.

Of course, the trophies were naturally hoarded by the Heaven-Mending Stone. After Su Chengyu pleaded earnestly for a long time, he only managed to get the Snake Demon’s snake gallbladder.

The snake gallbladder of the Sea Phantom Snake Demon was also an extremely precious item, worth no less than its inner core. However, Su Chengyu did not rush to absorb it directly. Instead, he wanted to make the most of the Sea Phantom Snake Demon’s snake gallbladder by crafting it into an elixir, specifically the Dragon Spirit Pill, which was what Su Chengyu needed most!

To craft the Dragon Spirit Pill, one needs the snake gallbladder from a Demon King Realm snake demon, regardless of which snake demon it comes from. It must be from the Demon King Realm, and that’s why the Dragon Spirit Pill is much more precious than the Xuantong Pill.

Of course, besides a Demon King snake gallbladder, other rare medicinal ingredients are also needed to craft the Dragon Spirit Pill. A single Dragon Spirit Pill can directly enhance one’s realm by a level, no wonder Su Chengyu coveted it so much.

After killing the Sea Phantom Snake Demon, Su Chengyu continued to wander over the seas. So far, he had discovered two islands but had not encountered a single living person.

On the second island, while Su Chengyu was exploring, he found traces of a battle, bloodstains on the ground, human blood, but no living person was found. Presumably, they were eaten by the Beasts inhabiting the island.

What thrilled Su Chengyu the most was that the Heaven-Mending Stone was now a match for the Golden Core Realm, which greatly increased Su Chengyu’s chances of survival in the Kunwu Realm. Having a companion comparable to a Golden Core Realm at his side all the time was incredibly comforting.

Besides the Heaven-Mending Stone, his biggest lifesaving method was the Primordial Spirit clone of Feng Jie Yu within the Ten Thousand Years Jade Marrow. However, that was his trump card, which Su Chengyu would absolutely not use unless absolutely necessary.

Over the past few days, Su Chengyu had been continuously battling Beasts and hunting at sea. The Heaven-Mending Stone had taken action only once to kill the Sea Phantom Snake Demon. For the other formidable Beasts Su Chengyu encountered, the Heaven-Mending Stone did not intervene again. It seemed it was still assimilating the Sea Phantom Snake Demon and ignored Su Chengyu.

Su Chengyu distinctly felt his realm steadily rising. The trials of combat made him feel that it wouldn’t be long before he might step into the Fourth Layer of the Tongxuan Realm. He liked the sensation of trial in the Kunwu Realm; it was indeed more suitable for cultivation than the outside world.

He believed that anyone who survived the Kunwu Realm trial would achieve significant improvement. Some might even be transformed and progress by leaps and bounds!

One day, Su Chengyu saw a large island in the distance, and a surge of Sword Qi shot up to the sky.

"Hmm? There’s someone on this island. Judging by the level of the Sword Qi, they’re at least in the Tongxuan Realm."

He didn’t hesitate, concealed his aura, put away the Dragon Slayer Sword, and quietly flew toward the island, heading for the source of the sword light. After more than ten days, he would finally meet another living person!
