The King of Urban Mercenaries

The essence soul of the Dragon Clan, even after a thousand or ten thousand years, it’s not guaranteed to disappear by even one-tenth, but obtaining it will definitely increase one’s own strength.

Little Black continuously absorbed the power of the essence soul, and gradually it evolved into his own power starting to grow. Eventually, Little Black’s power kept changing, leaping from the powerful True Body Third Transition to the realm of the True Body Sixth Transition, and the momentum continued rising.

However, at this moment, Little Black had already absorbed all the essence soul of the Dragon Clan within him, and the growth of his power had stopped. Little Black opened his eyes and suppressed the essence soul within him, because at this moment, that monkey had arrived!

"Didn’t I say? I hope you don’t come down," Little Black said.

The monkey gazed at Little Black before him, shocked. His power was clearly at the realm of True Body Third Transition, but in the blink of an eye, it had already reached the realm of True Body Sixth Transition. Such a huge leap in strength was truly terrifying. He suspected that if Little Black continued to grow, he might reach the same level as him! Terrible! Too terrible!

"Did you devour the Dragon Clan’s essence soul?" the monkey asked.

"That’s right, what of it? I’m here to devour the Dragon Clan’s essence soul; what’s so strange about it?" Little Black responded to the monkey.

The monkey was speechless, nodded, "Nothing, you continue, but..."

Then the monkey noticed something, "Where is Lin Fei?"

Little Black chuckled, "He’s nibbling on bone marrow inside the Dragon Bone. Do you want some? He could spare you a bit, though not much."

Upon hearing this, the monkey was left speechless, shook his head, "Forget it, I’ll go back up first."

Little Black nodded, watched the monkey leave, smirking, this monkey was really an unstable factor!

Then, Little Black quietly felt the changes within him. The essence soul wasn’t used up entirely because, at this moment, there really was no need to expose all his power.

He seized the moment before the bones shattered, directly flew along the path, heading underground to where his senior sister was.

"Oh crap, this is practically asking for trouble!" Little Black exclaimed in wonderment. In front of him, Lin Fei was entirely red, with even golden phoenix patterns spiraling on his body, incredibly miraculous, and blazing with fiery flames.

"Won’t you burn to death? If you die, I die too. This is trickery, don’t die, Lin Fei!" Little Black exclaimed, currently hoping Lin Fei wouldn’t die.

"Black Mudfish, who are you saying will die?"

Lin Fei’s voice came through, then he stood up, looking at Little Black.

"Oh, you’re awake? How do you feel now? Feeling okay?" Little Black asked.

Lin Fei’s fiery red body was rapidly fading, and in a snap, it had returned to its usual appearance, but behind his back, there was a phoenix pattern, distinctly clear.

"Why does it feel like the phoenix essence blood in my body, so little to refine?" Lin Fei asked confusedly; when he refined it, it seemed like the phoenix essence blood had vanished.

"That’s because your body absorbed the phoenix essence blood, don’t worry, it’ll slowly incorporate into your body over time, and by then you’ll be even stronger. Get dressed first, let’s talk once we’re outside," Little Black reminded.

Lin Fei nodded, looked around, after the phoenix essence blood disappeared, the lava around had also vanished, leaving behind a vast empty space. The temperature of the space was still high, but it was not as it initially appeared.

At that moment, Lin Fei dressed and left with Little Black, heading outside to find his senior sister.

The massive Dragon Bone hadn’t shattered yet, but Lin Fei knew it wouldn’t take much longer before it inevitably shattered. By then, the water pressure would rush into the eggshell, though the ’eggshell’ was filled with air, perhaps it wouldn’t be invaded by water, but the pressure would completely collapse the Dragon Bone.

"Alright, let’s go."

Arriving above, Little Black and Lin Fei flew towards the monkey. In the blink of an eye, they were in front of the monkey, who looked at Lin Fei in shock, "Your cultivation has grown to the later stage of the Nascent Soul Realm? So fast."

Not only was the monkey surprised, Lin Fei was also surprised, looking at himself, checking it out, exclaiming, "Oh crap, I’ve really leveled up fast, I’m already at the later stage of the Nascent Soul Realm? It’s crazy fast!"

Hearing Lin Fei’s words left the monkey speechless again, didn’t expect these two guys to be so surprising. In the blink of an eye, they had reached the later stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, seems reaching Nine Transitions True Body Realm was only a matter of time.

But the faster, the better, at least for the monkey, such speed was best, only this way he could quicker attain what he sought.

"By the way, big monkey, what’s your name?" Lin Fei and Little Black, along with the monkey, swam upwards, quick-moving, so he transmitted to the big monkey.

"You can call me Qitian!" the big monkey announced.

Hearing this, Lin Fei nodded, "Qitian, you remind me of a legend from our Lower Realm, about Qitian Dasheng Sun Wukong. He was known as the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, later became the Victory Buddha too," Lin Fei said.

The monkey was surprised, "He was a monkey too?"

Lin Fei nodded, "That’s right, his favorite weapon was the Ruyi Jingu Bang, Ocean Stabilizing God Needle, could grow or shrink, weighed thirteen thousand five hundred jin."

"Why so light? Just over ten thousand jin," the monkey remarked, with ease, he could lift millions of jin, weighing a little over ten thousand jin meant little to him.

"Haha, for us in the Lower Realm, that’s indeed formidable," Lin Fei remarked.

"Well, since he calls himself Great Sage Equalling Heaven, I’ll call myself the same, sounds good too," the monkey suggested.

Little Black frowned, coldly warned, "Monkey, I advise you not to talk nonsense, claiming to be a saint is beyond your words, a Saint is invincible. Speak carelessly, and you might vanish in an instant."

"A Saint? Do Saints truly exist?" the monkey asked.

Little Black snorted coldly, remained silent, then Lin Fei curiously asked, "Little Black, do you know something, share with us?"

Hearing Lin Fei’s words, Little Black spoke, "Lin Fei, the vast world is filled with countless talents, better not to dwell on such thoughts. At this time, even strong people cannot reach that level, so for you, focusing on finding your wife and children is more crucial!"

Lin Fei was speechless, "I just asked a question, why so serious? Of course, I won’t forget my purpose."

Little Black chuckled, "I’m not being serious, the Dao marches when a Saint steps forth, a Saint is a presence you and I can never touch. It’s better not to think too much!"
