Chapter 2266 - 2258: Slaying the Three Red Demons
This time heading to the Vast Sea, Huang Xiaolong was traveling alone.
On the way, Huang Xiaolong wasn’t in a hurry, advancing while cultivating.
Over the past half-year, thanks to continuously consuming Fifth Grade Heavenly Earth Elixirs for cultivation, his strength had almost reached the Dominator Ninth Stage Middle Stage Peak.
Even Jiang Tian, the top Saint Heir of the Holy Sect, had neither the qualification nor the opportunity to consume Fifth Grade Heavenly Earth Elixirs for cultivation during his Dominator Ninth Stage.
Huang Xiaolong, a Dominator Ninth Rank, consuming Fifth Grade Heavenly Earth Elixirs daily without interruption for cultivation, was simply the ultimate luxury.
Moreover, the Heavenly Earth Elixirs left by Wan Zhuoyuan, who was a Saint in his previous life, were of high quality. The lowest were Fifth Grade middle-grade, and most were Fifth Grade high-grade.
To prepare for the Holy Platform battle, Huang Xiaolong is consuming only Fifth Grade high-grade elixirs now.
Thus, his strength is improving at an astonishing speed.
Currently, Huang Xiaolong’s Enlightenment Saint Realm, Holy Veins, and Holy Body rank are low, but he possesses three Great Dao Saint Forms and three Great Holy Veins!
The combination of the three Great Dao Saint Forms, the three Great Holy Veins, coupled with the uninterrupted consumption of high-grade Fifth Grade Heavenly Earth Elixirs for cultivation, makes Huang Xiaolong now faster in cultivation speed than many Saint Heirs of the Holy Sect, at least faster than Huang Zhouping.
Though Huang Xiaolong practiced while traveling, thanks to the Treasure Golden Pig’s speed, he quickly arrived at the Vast Sea.
Originally, according to Guo Qirong’s estimation, Huang Xiaolong would take four months to reach the Vast Sea and another four months to return, but he reached the Vast Sea in just two months.
The Vast Sea is one of the four great seas of Zhuoyuan Sacred Land, and the most chaotic place of Zhuoyuan Sacred Land.
It’s a place where criminals and fierce people wanted by many dynasties of the Holy Land mingle, and is home to countless bandits.
Many dynasties have sent armies here, but none succeeded in truly purging it; all returned unsuccessful.
Even the Central Sacred Dynasty, the largest dynasty of the Holy Land, failed to pacify it despite deploying billions of soldiers and thousands of Supreme experts.
When Huang Xiaolong arrived, it was already dusk. The faint sunlight at dusk reflected on the endless waves shifting with the wind, crafting a different kind of beauty.
After pausing for a moment, Huang Xiaolong rode the Treasure Golden Pig through the skies, heading to an island called Vast Cavern Archipelago.
The Vast Cavern Archipelago is one of the largest islands in the Vast Sea, formed by hundreds of connected islands.
The Red Demon trio are hiding in the Vast Cavern Archipelago.
Of course, the Vast Cavern Archipelago, not only is it the largest island in the Vast Sea, it’s also one of its most chaotic places.
Considering that wearing the Saint Son brocade robe would draw too much attention, Huang Xiaolong had already changed it before arriving at the Vast Sea.
Currently, Huang Xiaolong is wearing a brocade robe made from materials like Ancient Golden Silkworm Silk and Eternal Bamboo Silk, looking dignified and imposing. It’s a middle-grade Supreme Spiritual Treasure given to him by Biluo Emperor Bi Liang.
Eight days later, Huang Xiaolong arrived at the Vast Cavern Archipelago without any major incidents.
Although he encountered a few bands of robbers at sea, they were all dealt with individually by Huang Xiaolong. These robbers were minor, not very powerful, and even if there were one or two Supreme First Rank among them, Huang Xiaolong, with his current strength, could easily defeat them without using the Beast Barbaric Thunder Pearl or the Four Great Divine Flames.
Upon arriving at the Vast Cavern Archipelago, Huang Xiaolong headed to the largest island, Spirit Fire Island, at its center.
According to the task, one of the Red Demon trio’s hiding places is on the Spirit Fire Island.
Although Spirit Fire Island is an island, it is vast, no smaller than the former Jinyuan Kingdom, like a piece of land floating on the sea.
Huang Xiaolong took off from the Treasure Golden Pig, concealed the aura of the middle-grade Supreme Spirit Robe, and entered the Spirit Fire Island.
Just as Huang Xiaolong entered the Spirit Fire Island, the Red Demon trio, who had already received the news, were drinking and celebrating in one of the mountain cave mansions on the island.
Because a few days ago, the Red Demon trio had acquired something astonishing.
This item is absolutely something that would make many Holy Lands envious.
"Big brother, I’ve already contacted the Holy Dao Pavilion, and we’ll deposit this item we’ve acquired for auction with them!" Red Demon number two, He Longde, said with a smile, "Once auctioned, we will be able to have an endless supply of Holy Currency and Spiritual Elixirs and Spirit Stones. Then we can find a place to cultivate peacefully and live a stable life!"
Red Demon leader He Longjie laughed, "True, and with the talent of our three brothers, we’ll change our names and surnames afterwards, go to other Holy Lands, and pledge allegiance to different Holy Sects, also making it as disciples!"
All three laughed heartily.
"However, if that Zhuoyuan Saint Heir named Huang Xiaolong really comes to Spirit Fire Island, how should we deal with this kid?" The third brother, He Longzhi, said, "If we kill this kid, I’m afraid the Zhuoyuan Saint Sect won’t let it go!"
The leader, He Longjie, nodded, "This Huang Xiaolong, though he is a Saint Heir of the Holy Sect, is a waste, he’s still a Saint Heir. If he dies at our hands, the Zhuoyuan Saint Sect definitely won’t let us off."
"Or, when we capture him, we’ll temporarily seal his strength, strip him, and throw him into the Vast Sea." The second brother, He Longde, pondered, "This will serve as a warning to the Zhuoyuan Saint Sect, letting them know we’re not to be trifled with!"
"Sounds good!" The leader He Longjie agreed with a smile.
"Seal my strength, strip me, throw me into the Vast Sea? Nice idea, just not sure if you have that capability." A cold voice said.
The Red Demon trio was startled suddenly.
At that moment, a person walked in from the doorway of the cave mansion they were in.
"Huang Xiaolong?!" The trio’s expressions were uncertain.
"It’s me." Huang Xiaolong stepped to the center of the great hall under their gaze.
The leader, He Longjie, sneered, "Looks like you arrived quite quickly, we thought you’d take another month. But that’s fine, the sooner you come, the sooner we’ll deal with you!"
"However, your task scroll should detail our strength." The second brother, He Longde, frowned, "Even with our combined strength, you couldn’t possibly be our match, so why dare to boldly enter!"
"Looks like you already knew I was coming." Huang Xiaolong said with a cold face, "It’s the Holy Sect’s Holy Alliance that leaked the information to you, and Jiang Tian told you about my strength and realm too, which is why you’re confident waiting for me?" Pausing, he continued: "But did it ever occur to you that Jiang Tian might intentionally deceive you, and the information given was wrong?"
"You mean?!" The leader He Longjie’s expression changed.
At this moment, Huang Xiaolong simultaneously activated the three Great Dao Saint Forms and three Great Holy Veins, his aura vast as it pressed the trio speechless, then his figure flashed, and he struck with a palm.
