Chapter 76

Without further ado, the dragon whale, worth 2000 contribution points, appeared before Li Fan, and it even took the reward for the mission.

How could Li Fan bear this?

Foundation Establishment cultivators were helpless against this dragon whale, but Li Fan might not be powerless to kill it!

Li Fan's eyes narrowed slightly, and the formless killing intent immediately locked onto the dragon whale.

The whispering in his ears and the illusory scenes before his eyes appeared again.

However, this time, the side effects were much less severe than when he locked onto the Ten Thousand Dharma.

Li Fan quickly recovered, and seeing the dragon whale's figure about to disappear, he quickly followed.

The strange beast, the dragon whale, did not realize that it was already being targeted by a killing intent.

At this moment, it was hunting in the deep sea.

The pulsing from the protrusion on its head told it that it was almost there.

As long as it continued to hunt, it wouldn't be long before a tremendous change would occur in its body.

It would then shed its ugly form and transform into the sacred appearance in its mind.

The dragon whale patrolled the deep sea, as if strolling in its own garden.

Before long, it discovered prey ahead, one of its own kind.

Another dragon whale, but a female.

The female dragon whale, attracted by the powerful male aura, swam forward in a fawning manner.

The strange beast, the dragon whale, looked at this "beautiful" existence in the clan and felt a wave of disgust and revulsion.

Is this my kind?

How absurd.

Dangerous light flickered in the eyes of the strange beast, the dragon whale.

When the female dragon whale got close, it opened its massive mouth and mercilessly swallowed her whole.

What a pitiful creature!

Silently digesting the flesh in its stomach, the strange beast, the dragon whale, couldn't help but recall its past.

Once, it was like this pitiful creature, aimlessly wandering in the depths of the sea.

Living, eating, and mating by instinct.

But from one day on, everything suddenly changed.

As if waking from a long nightmare, it began to awaken its consciousness.

It had a goal.

It wanted to become strong, as strong as those creatures that flew above the sea.

Its mind was suddenly filled with knowledge.

Thus, it knew what to consume to grow the fastest.

Its intuition became increasingly accurate.

In certain areas of the seabed, it always felt an immense danger whenever it approached.

So it always avoided these areas while feeding.

Its growth rate accelerated, and it became increasingly intelligent.

Gradually, it could even sense things on the surface that would benefit it from the depths of the sea.

Thus, for the first time in its life, it burst out of the sea and feasted on the island.

And it quickly left when danger approached.

After that, a protrusion appeared on its forehead.

And in its mind, the image of a powerful strange beast emerged.

A vague sense told it that this was the power deeply hidden in its bloodline.

As long as it continued to devour, it could become as strong as its ancestors!

Yes! Ruthless devouring! No one can stop me!

A dangerous aura pulled the strange beast, the dragon whale, back from its memories to the present.

It suddenly realized that a huge sea snake was blocking its path.

In its memory, this sea snake had been alive for a long time.

When it was born, the sea snake was already the dominant force in this area.

In the past, for safety, it always avoided the sea snake.

But now, times have changed...

A greedy look flashed in the eyes of the strange beast, the dragon whale, as it pounced on the sea snake.

After a fierce battle, the sea was stained red with blood.

The strange beast, the dragon whale, swallowed the most valuable parts of the sea snake.

Gentle energy continuously flowed from its stomach, healing its wounds.

The dragon whale was somewhat excited.

Although it was injured, it was definitely worth it.

As long as it fully absorbed the sea snake's energy...

Before it could indulge in its fantasies, another dangerous aura quickly approached from not far away.

Is it that giant octopus?

Why are they all coming together today?

I'll just swallow all of you.

The dragon whale roared and engaged the giant octopus in battle.

After a long time, the giant octopus's massive body was torn into pieces.

But the strange beast, the dragon whale, was also covered in wounds.

There was no time to absorb the octopus; the dragon whale sensed that three or four more dangerous auras were approaching from not far away.

What a bad day!

It sped up, trying to get away from these annoying creatures.

But...

It never ended.

No matter where it went, it would encounter enemies that attacked it.

Even those who were clearly no match for it came like mad, seeking death.

At first, it wanted to teach these creatures a lesson, but soon, it could only flee in panic.

Because there were too many of them, and it hadn't rested for a long time, it was becoming increasingly exhausted.

The dragon whale felt something was wrong.

But it couldn't figure out what the problem was.

The pursuit by other sea creatures seemed to never end.

The dragon whale's consciousness began to blur.

Just before death, it vaguely saw a blue glowing phantom appear before it.

Then, its consciousness was completely frozen.

...

Using the Blue Flame Phantom to deliver the final blow to the strange beast, the dragon whale, Li Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The formless killing intent dissipated, and the surrounding sea creatures, which had been eyeing him greedily, no longer approached after a moment of confusion.

The time it took to hunt the dragon whale exceeded Li Fan's expectations.

This strange beast was indeed too powerful.

Recalling the several fierce battles between sea beasts he had witnessed along the way, Li Fan was still secretly alarmed.

Fortunately, no matter how strong, it couldn't withstand endless consumption.

It took more than twenty days to exhaust the strange beast, the dragon whale, to death.

This showed how tenacious its life force was.

"Only I could do it; otherwise, ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators would be helpless against it."

"The formless killing intent, as expected, is powerful, derived from the killing intent of heaven and earth."

Hunting the strange beast, the dragon whale, without spilling blood, Li Fan obtained 2000 contribution points, and he couldn't help but feel delighted.

"The dragon whale is too large to fit into the storage ring. I can only cut off a few distinctive and valuable parts..."

Li Fan looked at the dragon whale's corpse and thought to himself.

After a lot of hard work, Li Fan dismembered it.

Just as he was about to leave, Li Fan suddenly remembered something.

"I've heard that these dragon whales often have undigested objects in their stomachs. Over time, they form a mass that can be used as a rare material for forging and is worth a lot of contribution points."

Adhering to the principle of not missing out on anything, Li Fan began to search the dragon whale's stomach.

"The dragon whale's stomach is really a mess, with all sorts of things..."

"Hey, this is..."

Li Fan picked up a half-digested spherical object and immediately felt a sense of familiarity.

Soon, he realized.

"Isn't this a琉璃珠 (琉璃珠 is a type of precious bead, often translated as '琉璃珠' or '琉璃珠')...?"
