Riding on the untamable and demonic Demon Blood Vulture, Xiao Chen patrolled the Black Cutlass.
Firstly, he could quickly adapt to the Ash Gray Sea's environment. Secondly, he could hunt ferocious beasts to temper himself, adding nourishment for the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation. Thirdly, he could search for a place to undergo his tribulation.
The vast Ash Gray Sea stretched as far as the eye could see.
The waves surged, and large waves rose and fell. Occasionally, pirate ships and adventuring ships of sects passed by.
Although the Ash Gray Sea was vast and dangerous, there were many cultivators and pirates who came here to seek fortuitous encounters and temper themselves.
This was especially so for pirates. Of the ships that passed by, seven out of ten were pirate ships.
Xiao Chen had once heard Xiao Suo say that the forbidden seas were places that many pirates wanted to explore their entire lives.
Without stepping into the forbidden seas, one could never be considered a true pirate. This was a kind of qualification.
However, this sea region was only at the edge of the Ash Gray Sea's periphery. It was still a long way from the true deep sea.
In this place, it was mostly peaceful and no accidents would happen.
Everyone knew that there would not be any tempting resources or fortuitous encounters at the Ash Gray Sea's periphery. There was no need to worry about it.
"Big Brother, there's a Demon Blood Vulture!"
A cultivator at the bow of a pirate ship discovered the Demon Blood Vulture soaring in the sky, and his eyes immediately lit up.
The Demon Blood Vulture was a rare ferocious beast. Its entire body was a treasure.
This was especially so for cultivators who cultivated demonic Cultivation Techniques. It was a great supplement, even more attractive than dragon blood or dragon meat.
"Don't get any ideas. Don't you see that there is another person on that Demon Blood Vulture? It is best not to offend someone who can even tame a Demon Blood Vulture. Otherwise, you will not even know how you died! "
That captain was very knowledgeable. When he saw Xiao Chen on the Demon Blood Vulture, he immediately gave up on that idea.
There were many similar people. However, when they saw someone tame a Demon Blood Vulture, they all gave up.
Their eyes filled with pity. A Demon Blood Vulture was something that they would not run into even once in a blue moon.
Even if they ran into one, it would be astonishingly strong and possessed an overwhelming demonic nature. One could not afford to offend it.
For example, when Xiao Chen ran into a middle-stage Star Venerate and a Demon Blood Vulture that had yet to fully mature, he could be said to be bursting with Luck.
"Over there!"
Xiao Chen, who sat casually on the Demon Blood Vulture, looked around and discovered a strange black fish at the bottom of the sea.
His body was like a small island. If not for the fact that he was bobbing up and down, one would really think that he was an island in the sea.
Xiao Chen knew quite a lot about Direbeasts, but he didn't know what this strange black fish in front of him was.
However, based on its aura, it was a Star-Venerate-level ferocious beast.
"It's you, do it!"
Xiao Chen patted the Demon Blood Vulture he sat on, and it swooped down like a red phantom. Before the strange black fish could sink back into the water, the Demon Blood Vulture's claws tore through its scales and flapped its wings.
Boom!
It raised monstrous waves, and the seawater on both sides directly sank.
The Demon Blood Vulture snatched the strange black fish out of the air. Blood flowed out like a mountain stream.
This guy's claws are really terrifying. Fortunately, I didn't give it a chance to grab me.
Xiao Chen thought to himself, I got lucky. The Demon Blood Vulture's strength is truly horrifying.
There was practically no need for Xiao Chen to make a move. The instant the Demon Blood Vulture grabbed the strange fish and soared into the air, it used its sharp beak to peck and puncture the strange fish's head.
Then, the Demon Blood Vulture swallowed the strange fish. No matter how it struggled, it was useless.
In merely two or three moves, the Demon Blood Vulture nearly killed this early-stage Star Venerate strange fish.
Xiao Chen quickly stopped the Demon Blood Vulture and directed the Demon Blood Vulture to fly back to the Black Cutlass. When it got close, it tossed the half-dead strange fish into the sea.
"Whoosh!" Xiao Suo activated the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation, and a blood mist spread out from the ship.
The Immemorial Demon Soul Formation continuously consumed the pirate-sized strange fish, giving off terrifying roars. That was the Yazi Beast Demon eating.
From Xiao Chen's angle, the Black Cutlass, which was covered in blood mist, looked exceptionally strange.
The Demon Blood Vulture, which Xiao Chen sat on, looked at the blood mist. Saliva flowed out of its mouth like a river.
The Demon Blood Vulture became restless, wanting to pounce over and suck up all the blood mist.
However, Xiao Chen firmly held it down, not giving it a chance at all.
This was not the time to feed this ingrate. Once it grew stronger, it could kill Xiao Suo in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Chen had to wait until Elder Tang's cultivation reached a certain level and he completely tamed this Demon Blood Vulture before he could feed it without any worries.
"Let's go."
After taking a few more looks, Xiao Chen rode the Demon Blood Vulture far away again.
During the past half month, Xiao Chen and the Demon Blood Vulture patrolled the place, killing all sorts of ferocious beasts.
With the Demon Blood Vulture, an old bird of the Ash Gray Sea, around, Xiao Chen could avoid those terrifying ferocious beasts that he could not afford to offend.
Even so, there were still several times when he had a close shave with his life on the line.
Once, he saw an unremarkable little bird. He found it strange, so he gave it a few more glances.
That little bird instantly turned seven-colored. Then, it opened its beak and spat out green venom that filled half the sky. Everywhere it passed, no ferocious beast survived after coming in contact with the venom.
Later, Xiao Chen learned that this was one of the ten great venomous beasts of the Ash Gray Sea. It was known as a flower-bird.
When the Demon Blood Vulture revealed its true form, it outshone the flowers. However, even Holy Venerates did not dare to come in contact with its venom.
Fortunately, Xiao Chen had the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram, preventing the venom from coming in contact with it. Otherwise, he would have died.
After another half month, Xiao Chen rode the Demon Blood Vulture back to the Black Cutlass.
"Boom!"
When the Demon Blood Vulture landed on the Spirit Beast Platform, it spread its wings and glared. The other ferocious beasts like the Cold Steel Eagles immediately trembled in fear and quickly moved to the side.
"Big Brother, the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation lit up five pearls!"
Xiao Suo quickly walked over and shared this news with Xiao Chen.
After one month of hard work and killing more than one hundred ferocious beasts, the remaining half of the pearl finally lit up.
With the five pearls lit up, the Yazi Beast Demon Soul's strength rivaled that of a late-stage Star Venerate. Coupled with its identity as a Great Desolate Eon ferocious beast, it was actually much harder to deal with than a true late-stage Star Venerate.
Xiao Chen nodded and said, "I'll go and take a look."
When Xiao Chen entered the next layer, he found himself surrounded by a hazy blood mist. There was practically no place for him to stand.
The blood mist, which originally only covered the formation's surface, had already seeped out completely, spreading to every corner of the next layer.
Xiao Chen observed carefully and discovered that much of the blood mist could perfectly permeate the various components of the ship.
Actually, this Black Cutlass was slowly absorbing the blood mist at all times.
However, it was clear that the speed at which the ship absorbed the blood mist could not keep up with the speed at which the blood mist seeped out.
Otherwise, the ship would not be in this state, not even having a place to stand.
"Big Brother, I noticed this mysterious phenomenon long ago. Although the ship's defense increased significantly from absorbing the blood mist, I keep feeling that it will turn into a demonic ship sooner or later."
Xiao Suo stood beside Xiao Chen, speaking somewhat worriedly.
"A demonic ship?"
Xiao Chen smiled and asked, "Xiao Suo, what do you think of Demonic Dao cultivators?"
Xiao Suo was stunned for a moment before replying, "Actually, I've come into contact with many Demonic Dao cultivators. Most of them are ferocious people, not bound by morals or etiquette. When they do things, they do not have any worries or restrictions. For the sake of achieving their goals, they will do anything. "
After Xiao Chen got off, he asked, "What do you think of that Yan Zhe?"
Feeling confused, Xiao Suo asked, "What does this have to do with Yan Zhe?"
Xiao Chen smiled and replied, "Naturally. That Yan Zhe has thick eyebrows and big eyes. While he looks righteous and magnanimous, he has a venomous heart. Do you think he is of the Demonic Dao or the Righteous Dao? "
"This …"
"Hence, even if we use a demonic ship, we might not be of the Demonic Dao. Even if we cultivate a Righteous Dao Cultivation Technique, we might not be of the Righteous Dao. There is no need to worry too much. "
These words immediately cleared up Xiao Suo's thoughts, smoothing out the knot in his heart.
"Most of the crewmembers on this ship are young. Their mental states and willpower might not be as firm as ours. After staying with the blood mist for a long time, it will be hard to avoid being affected. As the captain, your every action is very important. If you can guard your heart, you will be able to imitate them and prevent them from falling into the Demonic Dao. "
"I understand."
Xiao Suo nodded. This time, he had completely resolved the knot in his heart. In the future, he would no longer feel as conflicted when facing the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation.
After all, he was the owner of this ship. Xiao Chen's explanation was for Xiao Suo to have a better Black Cutlass in the future.
However, the blood mist that leaked out was too wasteful and had some hidden dangers.
I have to go and see how Elder Tang's cultivation of the Beast Taming Art is going and whether he can completely tame that Demon Blood Vulture.
…
"Captain, that Xiao Chen is still asking for reinforcements. It looks like he has already adapted to the Ash Gray Sea."
In the Iron Horn Pirate Group, the core crewmembers surrounded Yan Zhe, discussing in whispers.
None of them wanted to watch this duck fly away right in front of their eyes.
Yan Zhe smiled faintly and said, "It is just the periphery of the Ash Gray Sea. We will run into trouble sooner or later. There is no rush. I gained a lot from this trip to the Grave Sea, deepening my mental state. I feel that I will break through to Star Venerate soon. "
"Congratulations, Captain!"
The moment Yan Zhe said that, the others immediately became excited. Breaking through to Star Venerate meant that the captain would advance to the second stage of the Cloud Sea Realm, the Holy Venerate Realm.
