Chapter 1224: Chapter 1224: Sitting on the Mountain Watching the Tigers Fight

Fang Bai sat cross-legged inside the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron, his Divine Sense continuously observing the life-and-death battle between Madam Linghu and the Swordtooth Shark.

"Fortune favors me!"

Upon discovering that the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron had fallen from the Swordtooth Shark’s massive abdominal wound, Fang Bai, who was inside the cauldron, couldn’t help but excitedly swing his fist.

To Fang Bai, Madam Linghu’s strike was akin to giving him a "big gift," allowing him to escape effortlessly from the belly of the Swordtooth Shark.

"Thump!"

The Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron fell from the Swordtooth Shark’s abdomen, plunging into the sea and creating waves several feet high.

However, this minor wave, like a grain of sand in the vast ocean, did not catch the attention of Madam Linghu and the Swordtooth Shark.

Despite its modest size, the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron was extremely heavy and sunk dozens of meters into the sea in an instant.

Inside the cauldron, Fang Bai circulated Water Element Qi to form a protective shield around him before lifting the lid of the Furnace Cauldron and breaking out, then casually storing the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron in his Spatial Ring.

Propelled by Water Element Qi, Fang Bai shot out of the water like a bullet and hovered several meters above the surface of the sea.

The Swordtooth Shark, with a gaping hole torn in its abdomen by Madam Linghu, was not on the brink of immediate death, but would inevitably perish once its blood drained out.

The Swordtooth Shark, possessing a certain degree of intelligence, seemed to anticipate its eventual fate and became even more crazed, launching a frenzied, suicidal attack on Madam Linghu.

A vicious beast that disregarded its own life and a martial artist who had activated their body’s latent potential; every collision between the two spurred huge waves and was shockingly imposing.

Even Fang Bai, who by now possessed the ability to directly confront Madam Linghu, watched with a secretly palpitating heart.

Fang Bai’s exceptional vision allowed him to discern after just a moment that although Madam Linghu had the upper hand in their clashes and the Swordtooth Shark was doomed, Madam Linghu would not only exhaust her Essence Energy, but she would also suffer severe side effects from the activation of her body’s potential. In a few hours, she would become as powerless as an ordinary person.

In these treacherous seas, where dangers lurk on an endless horizon and where sea beasts may emerge at any time, the outcome for an ordinary person was self-evident.

Therefore, even if Fang Bai did not take action, Madam Linghu’s chances of escaping alive were slim.

This outcome was exactly what Fang Bai wished for, so he shifted laterally in mid-air, moving to a relatively calm area of the sea and leaving a wooden plank there to land on, preparing to sit back and watch the fierce battle unfold.

The gravely wounded Swordtooth Shark, now noticeably less agile than before, quickly suffered several new cuts in its weaker defense spots from Madam Linghu’s high-grade Spiritual Artifact. Though the wounds weren’t large, the relentless gushing of blood severely weakened the creature.

In just dozens of breaths, the seawater within tens of meters around had been stained red by the blood flowing from the abdominal wound of the Swordtooth Shark, and the smell of blood pervaded all directions.

"I originally wanted to watch them fight until they were both severely injured, but now it seems I can’t stay here any longer!"

Fang Bai’s released Divine Sense, now expanded to nearly a thousand meters than before his recent advancement, detected a group of fierce sea beasts rapidly approaching from all directions, likely drawn by the scent of blood.

Though the attacking power of these sea beasts was not comparable to that of the Swordtooth Shark, their potential frenzy was still quite terrifying. Even Fang Bai felt his scalp tingle and decided to leave, to avoid being surrounded and attacked by them.

Fang Bai could control a considerable part of the sea beasts with his Beast Taming Art, but firstly, controlling the sea beasts consumed a great deal of mental focus, and secondly, the sea beasts in this area would surely gather in greater numbers. Madam Linghu would have no chance of survival, and there was no benefit in him staying any longer. It was better to leave.

Fang Bai discerned the direction, stamped his feet, and the wooden plank beneath him shot out like an arrow, skimming over the water, speeding towards the eastern seas.

Although there were many sea beasts blocking the way in the eastern seas, with Fang Bai’s current Cultivation Level, by circulating Wind Essence Qi, he could now remain airborne for longer periods. When encountering sea beasts blocking the way, he could easily fly over them from above.

Fang Bai easily broke free from the dangerous sea area where the sea beasts congregated. Glancing back, he saw that Madam Linghu had already slain a Swordtooth Shark, but she was then engulfed by sea beasts surging from all directions.

"The old witch is done for!"

The unwilling and sharp, miserable screams of Madam Linghu faintly reached his ears, then the sound was swallowed by the wind and waves. Fang Bai could imagine the scene of Madam Linghu depleting her Essence Energy, the side effects of stimulating her body’s potential appearing, and being devoured by the competing sea beasts.

Madam Linghu, who had chased him like a ghost for thousands of miles, had fallen, and Fang Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The only regret Fang Bai felt was that a powerhouse like Madam Linghu must have accumulated a staggering amount of Cultivation Resources over the years. Unfortunately, he was unable to obtain the Spatial Ring on her finger, which was a substantial loss.

Previously, Fang Bai’s Spatial Ring contained quite a few Cultivation Resources too, but they were completely exhausted when he was advancing his Cultivation Level in the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron, even the Spiritual Medicines prepared for refining Elixirs were gone.

Now, Fang Bai had nothing but some Spiritual Artifacts and materials for forging Spiritual Artifacts in his Spatial Ring, with not a single Cultivation Resource left, making him a true "penniless pauper."

Without Cultivation Resources, the cultivation of a Martial Artist will be affected, and it is tough to improve their strength.

Especially for a prodigy like Fang Bai, who needs a vast amount of Cultivation Resources for each cultivation attempt, the lack of Cultivation Resources is even more painful.

"It’s rumored that Shenwu Continent is rich in dense Heaven and Earth Origin Energy and abundant Cultivation Resources. I hope it won’t disappoint me."

Fang Bai checked his nearly empty Spatial Ring and couldn’t help but smile wryly, thinking that he could only look for Cultivation Resources once he arrived at Shenwu Continent.

Fang Bai didn’t know how far Shenwu Continent was, but as long as he continued eastward, he would eventually reach it.

After traveling tens of miles on the wooden plank, he saw a solitary sea beast with strength comparable to a Martial Artist of the Universe Level’s early stage. Fang Bai controlled the beast with the Beast Taming Scripture, jumped onto its back, and continued forward with the sea beast as his vessel.

By evening, a sailing ship appeared on the sunlit sea.

The ship was coming from behind Fang Bai, heading in the direction of Shenwu Continent.

Fang Bai was overjoyed and, to avoid creating a spectacle, released control over the formidable sea beast under his feet and stepped back onto the wooden plank to approach the sailing ship.

Having been in the True Martial Realm for a while now, Fang Bai had learned quite a bit about it and realized at a glance that the sailing ship did not come from Tiansheng Continent.

The hundreds of Martial Artists aboard carried an aura that mostly consisted of Fire Primordial Qi. From this, Fang Bai deduced that the ship should come from the Land of Extreme South in the True Martial Realm.

The Land of Extreme South had numerous volcanoes, was hot all year round, and had the richest concentration of Fire Primordial Qi. As a result, Martial Artists there practiced Fire-type Martial Arts, leading Fang Bai to such a deduction.
