A small island near the East Sea.
Mu Yuan steered the Spirit guidance boat to the shore, secured the anchor, and went ashore with Du Busi.
Upon landing on the island, Mu Yuan could hear low roars.
He noticed that the two of them were heading in the direction from which the low roars were coming.
Arriving at a valley in the center of the island, Mu Yuan’s expression became strange.
He saw that in this valley, a huge rock was pressing down on a bloody and mangled…
octopus?
It was this octopus that was making the low roars.
Only half of its head and two tentacles were exposed.
Its base color was pitch black, as if demonic energy was churning within, yet a supremely masculine and rigid, heart-trembling aura emanated from it.
Mu Yuan saw that the Power of Heavenly Thunder was faintly bursting forth from the Deep Sea Demon Octopus’s tentacles, trying to destroy the rock pressing down on it.
Unfortunately, this place seemed to have been carefully chosen by Du Busi.
The rock was very hard, and the Power of Heavenly Thunder only left a faint trace, unable to break the rock, and the ground was even more solid.
“The deep sea is vast; it’s not easy to find a Sea Spirit Beast that suits you.
If I hadn’t imprisoned it, who knows how long it would take to find it again,” Du Busi said naturally.
The corners of Mu Yuan’s mouth twitched slightly.
What could he say?
He could only say that it was well imprisoned.
“Speaking of which, this Deep Sea Demon Octopus’s vitality is truly formidable.
It’s been at least two months, and it still has the energy to release the Power of Heavenly Thunder,” Du Busi said.
Mu Yuan also nodded seriously, looking at the Deep Sea Demon Octopus, a look of satisfaction appearing in his eyes.
To be able to survive a heavenly tribulation, and because of that absorb a bit of the power of the heavenly tribulation, mastering the Power of Heavenly Thunder, formidable vitality was likely a prerequisite.
Even if it was just grazed by the heavenly tribulation, surviving is a feat in itself.
After all, this Deep Sea Demon Octopus’s cultivation is only a thousand years, while heavenly tribulations are usually faced by Fierce Beasts, a power capable of annihilating at least a 200,000-year-old Fierce Beast.
The Deep Sea Demon Octopus, seeing the culprit who caused it to be buried by the huge rock again, flashed a look of hatred in its only exposed eye.
A mournful cry came from under the huge rock.
One eye stared at Mu Yuan, equally full of hatred.
It had an extraordinary experience.
When it was at three hundred years of cultivation, it was affected by a Fierce Beast’s heavenly tribulation.
Although it was only a graze, that time almost cost it its life.
Fortunately, it had another opportunity, relying on its own abundant vitality to forcibly endure it.
Not only did it not die, but it instead used the power of the heavenly tribulation to give birth to a seed of the Power of Heavenly Thunder within its body.
That period of tempering also made its intelligence far exceed that of other Spirit Beasts of the same cultivation.
At this moment, Du Busi brought Mu Yuan here, and it had already guessed their intentions.
With monstrous hatred in its eyes, the Deep Sea Demon Octopus was about to end its own life.
It would rather commit suicide than give its spirit ring to this guy.
However, it was suppressed by the huge rock, so the difficulty of committing suicide was not low.
The moment it saw its tentacles lift, Mu Yuan also moved.
“Vajra Demon Subduing!”
This was a special ability Mu Yuan had recently comprehended while fusing with the crimson spirit bone.
It was an application of Vajra Power, infusing a wisp of his own will, transforming into an angry-eyed Vajra, capable of subduing demons.
At the same time, blood energy lingered on Mu Yuan’s right arm, and the crimson blood light intertwined with the Vajra Power on his right arm, shaping into the phantom of an arm.
The arm reached out and collided fiercely with the Deep Sea Demon Octopus’s tentacles.
Boom!
Heavenly thunder raged, and the Vajra appeared.
Two forces erupted within the Deep Sea Demon Octopus, causing it immense pain.
Feeling the grand and majestic aura within the opponent, containing a trace of heavenly might, Mu Yuan couldn’t help but be shocked.
While shocked, he was even more expectant.
From a distance, he could already feel the resonance between his Vajra Power and that Power of Heavenly Thunder.
If he could obtain this Deep Sea Demon Octopus’s spirit ring, his Vajra Power would definitely be able to undergo a transformation.
Bang!
The Deep Sea Demon Octopus let out a shrill scream.
Du Busi had approached at some unknown time, lifted the huge rock above the Deep Sea Demon Octopus, and simultaneously stomped out several times, trampling its remaining tentacles into pulp.
“Still want to commit suicide?” Du Busi snorted coldly, obviously seeing through the Deep Sea Demon Octopus’s thoughts.
Mu Yuan was stunned.
He had just attacked purely because he thought the opponent was going to counterattack.
“I will watch this Deep Sea Demon Octopus; you cultivate with peace of mind and break through to level 20 first.”
Mu Yuan took a deep breath and nodded heavily.
He hadn’t reached level 20 yet.
But it was close.
From rushing all the way from Heaven Dou City to East Sea City and then out to sea to here, it had been no more than a month.
Mu Yuan had already realized his true self, and his will had undergone a transformation.
According to his feelings, the bottleneck of level 20 should not exist.
But even so, cultivation from level 19 to level 20 could not be broken through without two and a half months.
However, Mu Yuan’s situation was special.
He still had residual Whale Glue power in his body, which should have been slowly absorbed during his subsequent cultivation.
However, during the fusion process of the crimson spirit bone, he quietly absorbed this part of the Whale Glue power, and at the same time, the crimson spirit bone also contained some blood energy, which merged into Mu Yuan’s body.
Blood energy itself only strengthens the physique and naturally has no effect on a Spirit Master’s Soul Power cultivation.
But Mu Yuan was a Body Martial Soul user.
The Spirit Bone itself was also a right arm bone.
Mu Yuan’s Spirit was enhanced, and his Soul Power was also quietly boosted.
This was the advantage of a Body Martial Soul.
If the body is strong, the Spirit is also indirectly enhanced; whether it is cultivation aptitude or one’s own strength, everything is improving synchronously.
Under the support of various conditions, Mu Yuan felt that he had already touched the threshold of level 20.
In the blink of an eye, half a month later.
Opening his eyes, a flash of dark gold passed through Mu Yuan’s eyes.
“Broken through.”
From taking the Whale Glue and breaking through to level 19 until now, it had only been a month and a half, and Mu Yuan had crossed a major bottleneck and broken through to level 20!
“Since awakening my Spirit, I reached level 10 in four months, spent one month hunting for a spirit ring, and then after cultivating for one year and one month, I had the qualifications to absorb another spirit ring.”
Such speed was unimaginable.
Even Mu Yuan himself was secretly shocked.
“This speed is not normal.
There must be something special somewhere.
I must find it out.
This might be where my true talent lies, and it is my qualification to stand out on this Douluo Continent!”
Suppressing the suspicion in his heart, Mu Yuan came to the valley where the Deep Sea Demon Octopus was suppressed.
Meeting Mu Yuan’s gaze, a flash of hatred passed through the Deep Sea Demon Octopus’s eyes; that hatred was etched into its bones.
For a spirit ring, these two Spirit Masters tortured it so cruelly; it was extremely hateful!
It had intelligence surpassing Spirit Beasts of the same cultivation, but not much; its CPU processing power was limited, and its emotions were often very simple.
Since it was hatred, it was naturally etched into its bones.
However, in that extreme hatred, there was also a hint of begging in its eyes.
“End me quickly.”
These days, it had really been driven crazy by Du Busi’s torture.
This time Mu Yuan appeared, and it felt it.
Mu Yuan had broken through.
“Hurry!”
“Hurry up!”
“It was about to be liberated.”
Mu Yuan captured the extreme hatred in the Deep Sea Demon Octopus’s eyes, and at the same time noticed that hint of begging.
With these two appearing simultaneously on a Spirit Beast, his mind was inexplicably touched.
