Chapter 352 Slaying a Ninth-Rank Demonic Beast
However, Lu Hao didn't care too much. After all, the trend was in the hands of humanity. Moreover, although energy was useful after reaching the ninth rank, its usefulness was not much. After reaching the ninth rank, the focus was more on the Origin Dao.
Lu Hao emerged from the ruins, not in a hurry to return to Hope City. After seeing the Forbidden Sea, he realized that his current divine weapon, still a seventh-grade divine weapon, no longer had any amplifying effect on him, only providing a hardening effect. As for the chaotic monsters he killed in the King's Battleground, they were completely unusable, as their entire bodies contained chaotic energy, making them unsuitable for forging divine weapons.
All he had captured were complete divine weapons, not the corpses of high-grade demonic beasts. Looking at the Forbidden Sea before him, Lu Hao thought of the giant octopus he had encountered on his way here. He could easily deal with that giant octopus now. Moreover, fighting in the Forbidden Sea would prevent the fluctuations from spreading outside, making it the best place to fight. After breaking through to the ninth rank, he could also go directly to the depths of the Forbidden Sea to hunt and accumulate killing points.
After making his decision, Lu Hao activated stealth and headed towards the Forbidden Sea. Although it was just a tributary and unlikely to contain any supreme demonic beasts, he still activated stealth just in case, planning to deactivate it later when he was ready to make his move down below.
After entering the Forbidden Sea, Lu Hao's perception range was compressed to about 100 meters. This was after Lu Hao's mental strength broke through 10,000, and before that, his perception range was less than 10 meters. Lu Hao quickly found his target: an eighth-grade lobster demon beast. After all, its appearance was exactly the same as a crayfish on Earth. As for why he chose an eighth-grade demon beast, Lu Hao's current divine weapon was only seventh-grade, so he planned to find three eighth-grade demon beasts and one ninth-grade demon beast. When he broke through to the ninth grade, he would directly fuse them into the demon beast and forge a ninth-grade divine weapon, which would save a lot of effort. However, this would only be enough for the ninth grade. After reaching the peak, he would have to find a way to find a true divine weapon. Only that kind of weapon would not fall behind. Lu Hao was really envious of Wang Jinyang and the others. They could directly inherit a divine weapon when they reached the sixth grade. Why didn't he have a divine weapon to inherit?
Looking at the giant lobster in front of him, Lu Hao felt a little hungry. He had been busy improving his skills in the Forbidden Zone Battleground and hadn't eaten a single meal. Although he had reached a level where he no longer needed to eat to sustain his body, he still felt hungry. He decided that he would have a meal of lobsters after returning to Earth. The next moment, Lu Hao unleashed his blood energy and slashed at the giant lobster. Weakening by the forbidden seawater, Lu Hao's original thousand-meter blade light was reduced to a hundred meters, but its power was still beyond what an eighth-rank cultivator could withstand. With one strike, the giant lobster tried to raise its pincers to defend itself, but to no avail. Its pincers were instantly cleaved in two.
Lu Hao put the lobster's corpse directly into his storage space, planning to merge it all in when he broke through later.
The commotion caused by Lu Hao's outburst attracted many demonic beasts, but they were all low-grade demonic beasts, with the most being two seventh-grade demonic beasts. Lu Hao killed the two seventh-grade demonic beasts, collected both sets of brain cores, and then swam towards the depths of the Forbidden Sea Qianliu, since ninth-grade demonic beasts were too rare to see in the tributaries.
After searching for a short while, Lu Hao found another giant octopus. Its appearance was similar to the ninth-grade giant octopus he had seen before, except that this was an eighth-grade giant octopus. Lu Hao took it without hesitation. This time, the commotion caused by Lu Hao's killing finally attracted an unusual predator. It was a ninth-grade sea monster. Lu Hao couldn't recognize its name from its appearance. Lu Hao didn't care about the name; he wasn't picky about forging divine weapons anyway, as long as the quality was up to standard. After sensing Lu Hao, the sea monster quickly attacked him with one of its tentacles. Lu Hao naturally wouldn't sit idly by and slashed at the tentacle it had attacked with his sword.
A deafening roar echoed through the Forbidden Sea, but due to the nature of the Forbidden Sea, the sound faded by the time it reached the surface. No one in the entire Demon Capital Underground Cavern discovered that a battle between Ninth-Rank cultivators was taking place there.
Lu Hao's blade clashed with the sea monster's tentacles, but in the end, Lu Hao's blade light prevailed, causing considerable damage to the sea monster's tentacles. Lu Hao judged that this sea monster was at least at the high level of the ninth rank, otherwise it would not have been able to block Lu Hao's attack.
Enraged by its injury, the sea monster began to tremble and charged towards Lu Hao. Lu Hao's spiritual sense detected the sea monster's size, confirming his earlier assessment. The hundreds-of-meters-long monster charged towards Lu Hao, attempting to crush him with its massive body.
Lu Hao almost laughed at the sight. These monsters had evolved without any brains, weren't they? They were practically charging straight into his blade. It could only be said that most of these monsters living in the Forbidden Sea were wild and had no intelligence whatsoever. In their world, the bigger the size, the stronger the monster, and fighting was simply a matter of ramming each other. Lu Hao wouldn't let this opportunity slip by. He unleashed all his blood energy once more and slashed at the head of the sea monster as it charged towards him.
A streak of blood flashed across the dark Forbidden Sea. In the next instant, countless creatures in the Forbidden Sea smelled the scent of blood, but the fluctuations emanating from the battle site deterred them from going there.
With a single stroke, Lu Hao sliced off half of the ninth-grade sea monster's head, revealing its gleaming golden bones.
The sea monster was completely bewildered. Why wasn't this little thing following the rules? Shouldn't it be going to fight it head-on and see who was tougher? What was going on? Why did its head hurt so much? With the sea monster's intelligence, it couldn't understand what was happening at all. All it knew was that it was injured, seriously injured, and might die.
So the sea monster turned and ran, but how could Lu Hao let it get away? Lu Hao's ninth-grade divine weapon still needed to be placed on the sea monster. However, Lu Hao hesitated a bit. After all, this sea monster was too stupid. Would it affect him if he used it to forge the divine weapon? But this thought flashed through Lu Hao's mind. He didn't think about it in detail. He should just take this one down first. If it didn't work, he could find another ninth-grade demon beast later. Anyway, it was not difficult for Lu Hao to deal with a ninth-grade demon beast. Lu Hao quickly chased after it and slashed out with his sword. This time, he directly chopped off the remaining half of the sea monster's head.
Having successfully killed this sea monster, compared to the cave warriors, this dull-witted beast was much better; it didn't even try to dodge and went straight for a head-on collision.
Lu Hao stored the sea monster's corpse in his storage space, hoping to find another ninth-grade demon beast, since this sea monster was too foolish.
