Chapter 1140: Repelled (Please Subscribe)_1

One of the demon cultivators gasped in shock, "Hiss! Such terrifying flames, quick, dodge! You mustn't let it touch you!"

He felt a profound sense of danger from these strange dark golden flames; to be hit would mean at least injury, if not death!!

Having said that, he exploded with his fastest speed towards the back to dodge, but still, his arm was inadvertently touched by the flames...

The intense burning sensation made him involuntarily cry out, "Ahhhhh!!"

But fortunately, he managed to escape the area covered by the sea of fire...

As for another demon cultivator, his eyes were filled with frustration...

He simply could not believe that he was unable to deal with a monster beast of the same Saint Realm! Clenching his teeth in rage, he shouted, "I refuse to believe it! How could a mere monster beast be this absurdly strong! Mid-grade Immortal Rank Martial Skill, Holy Imperial Eight Directions!"

It could vaguely be seen that countless streams of spiritual power were bursting out from his body, slowly diffusing around him, and then in just a few seconds, solidified into a shield radiating a sturdy aura...

In the blink of an eye, all that could be heard was a humming noise, and this demon cultivator found himself in the midst of the sea of fire...

The demon cultivator who had escaped the range of the sea of fire covered his left arm, his face dark as he watched the red glow before him and secretly cursed, "Damn it! Is that guy an idiot?? Trying to resist like that!"

He had only grazed it lightly, and his entire left arm was severely injured; if his whole body had been touched, it would be questionable whether he could survive!

The Cloud Devouring Beast glanced at the demon cultivator standing outside the sea of fire and coldly snorted, "Hmph! One of them actually managed to dodge! My fire is not something you two weaklings can withstand!"

Although this fire did not target the soul, once it touched the flesh extensively, it would burn continuously, almost impossible to extinguish!

He had thought to take out these two with one strike, but now it seemed he would need to expend some effort!

Tens of seconds later, the dark golden flames had also dissipated...

The demon cultivator who had used the shield to ward off the flames was emitting a strong burnt smell, yet he had not lost his life...

Gasping for air, he coughed and said, "Cough cough...that was close... I almost died!! These flames are so intense!"

If he hadn't increased the input of spiritual power at the last moment, he might now be a charred corpse!

Seeing that the other was still alive, the demon cultivator not far away shouted, "Let's leave this place first, the two of us are no match for this monster beast!"

To take it down, at least five Saint Realm experts would be needed!

As soon as these words were spoken, the two demon cultivators exchanged glances and nodded to each other...

The Cloud Devouring Beast, naturally, was not going to let them escape easily, and shouted coldly, "Thinking of running?? How can you get your way! Just perish right here!"

Immediately afterward, it once again generated a tremendous dark golden flame from its mouth...

And sprayed it towards the two demon cultivators who sought to escape...

With no other choice, they forcibly bit their lips and angrily shouted, "Blood Escape Technique!"

They had taken note of today's grudge; they would definitely butcher this monster beast later!

After performing this technique, their bodies instantly exploded into a blood fog, disappearing on the spot...

If one were to pay close attention, they would detect that their auras had now appeared a kilometer away...

The Cloud Devouring Beast paused for a moment, then forcibly swallowed the flames back down, surprised, "Huh? They really escaped?"

Discomfort settled at the bottom of his heart; he had finally managed to be imposing for once, yet in the end, he hadn't even killed a single demon cultivator!

As he spoke, the Divine Power within his body began to wildly surge outward, and in just a few seconds, his form hundreds of meters in size shrank back to its original body...

However, this also made him unable to resist boasting to Xu Sheng, "How about that, isn't my strength incredibly powerful!"

Xu Sheng nodded indifferently, "Hmm! Your strength is indeed not bad; probably no less than five Saint Realm experts could take you down!"

Upon hearing this, the Cloud Devouring Beast revealed a confident expression and disdainfully said, "Hmph, just five, if I could use the previous state, even ten of them wouldn't be my match!"

Xu Sheng just smiled and said no more...

Should five Saint Realm experts join forces to use a sealing martial technique, the Cloud Devouring Beast would have no means to break free, its enormous size becoming a perfect target!

Realizing this, the Cloud Devouring Beast, as if he had thought of something, turned his head away, somewhat embarrassed, "Hmph, right... just now... thank you for letting me experience the strength of a truly transformed monster beast!"

Xu Sheng simply nodded slightly and shifted his gaze back towards Duanmu Lian and Zhou Qingruo, who were sitting cross-legged on the ground, their Cultivation Levels gradually stabilizing...

Their Spiritual Power had reached its limit, and it wouldn't be long before they could break through the bottleneck and advance to the Saint Realm...

Most importantly, the bloodlines within their bodies would be greatly enhanced, and their strength was sure to undergo a qualitative change...

As expected, after he had waited for nearly four hours, a violent Spiritual Ripple suddenly erupted...

Duanmu Lian and Zhou Qingruo's surging Spiritual Power directly broke through the bottleneck, advancing from the Immortal Monarch Realm to the Saint Realm!

Immediately after, both of them opened their Beautiful Eyes and started to carefully feel the condition within their bodies...

When they found not only no side effects but also feeling clear-headed and their bloodlines flowing smoothly, they sensed that their strength was incomparably greater than before!

Duanmu Lian said joyfully, "As expected, we have broken through to the Saint Realm, and there really aren't any side effects!"

Zhou Qingruo also nodded, "This Elixir that removes side effects is truly defying heaven. If released into the Cultivation World, I am afraid everyone would want to get their hands on it, right?"

Hearing their conversation, the Cloud Devouring Beast muttered under his breath, "Hmph! In the end, it was still you two who consumed it. If you had given that Elixir to me, those two demon cultivators from earlier would have been dead long ago!"

Xu Sheng smiled and said, "Qingruo, Lian, are you feeling anything besides the improvement of your Cultivation Level? Such as regarding your bloodlines?"

Duanmu Lian asked in confusion, "Hm? What do you mean?"

Zhou Qingruo's amber Beautiful Eyes suddenly lit up. After feeling it again, she couldn't hide the surprise on her face and said, "The bloodline I obtained in the Xuanming Domain has become even more potent, and it seems I have awakened some ability!"

Hearing this, Duanmu Lian immediately understood and after paying careful attention, she exclaimed in astonishment, "Really... really? Though I don't know what that bloodline ability is, I can indeed try to use it!"

Xu Sheng pondered and said, "Is that so? The bloodline has been strengthened. Oh, right, you were able to break through smoothly because of this little fellow here."

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Lian and Zhou Qingruo immediately looked at the Cloud Devouring Beast with skeptical eyes, their distrustful expressions almost spelling out two words: Him?

Feeling his beastly pride insulted, the Cloud Devouring Beast retorted through gritted teeth, "Hey, hey, hey!! What's with that look? I, for one, nearly took down two Saint Realm demon cultivators all by myself just now!"

"And you, Xu Sheng, right? Calling me 'little fellow,' I have lived for at least ten thousand years, alright?"
