The Inner City was in full swing, with Cloud Summit Villa and the Heavenly Phenomenon War Department bringing out their hidden treasures, while not too far from them on the ocean's surface, Ye Zhongming and Xia Bai found themselves in a huge crisis after entering the island of the Sea King Disk.
They encountered an eighth-level mutated life form.
Initially, they had confirmed that the golden light emitted by the Sea King Disk only had healing and marking effects on human evolvers. Ye Zhongming and Xia Bai had planned accordingly, intending to just watch during the remaining four openings of the Sea King Disk, waiting until the sea beasts fought fiercely amongst themselves before stepping in for a small profit. If they encountered a sea beast with prominent strength, they would avoid trouble and wait for it to leave before scavenging.
The first three of the remaining four openings of the Sea King Disk indeed went smoothly, and the two of them reaped significant rewards. Not only did they acquire a lot of high-level materials, but from the previous two rounds of scavenging, they had collected nearly twenty seventh-grade magic crystals and about ten sixth-grade magic crystals.
If it weren't for the ongoing battle in the Inner City and concerns over their subordinates, and if it weren't for the limited number of openings of the Sea King Disk, Ye Zhongming and Xia Bai would even have been willing to stay here for a while longer, as this was practically picking up money without any risk—an opportunity too good to miss.
However, things did not go as they had hoped. Just when they thought everything would be smooth sailing, the Sea King Disk had only one last opening left, and during that time, a whirlwind that blew away the gray mist brought an unexpected guest—Xiao Peng.
When Xiao Peng landed on the ground, it startled Ye Zhongming and Xia Bai. They had assumed this guy had been blown elsewhere, but who would have thought he arrived at this moment?
Xiao Peng didn't want to come either, but the previous strong winds had scattered him away from Ye Zhongming and Xia Bai, landing him far out at sea. Under the cover of Black Revenge, he was originally trying to swim back to land, but after a day of effort, just when victory seemed in sight, he couldn't escape the suddenly appearing whirlwind and was brought here instead.
Seeing this brother from his past life safe made Ye Zhongming naturally happy, and in his excitement, he thought about letting him obtain the Sea King mark as well.
If only one person could obtain the Sea King mark, at the very least, he wanted Xiao Peng's battle beast, Black Revenge, to undergo a second-level mutation to increase its strength.
The idea was good, but unbeknownst to them, perhaps due to it being the last opening of the Sea King Disk, an eighth-level upper dragon appeared among the incoming sea beasts.
The orange magic crystal on the upper dragon's forehead made even someone like Ye Zhongming and Xia Bai feel parched. After all, they couldn't even defeat the ‘dual seventh-level’ copper ink sea anemone! Now, Ye Zhongming didn't have another sky dome suppression.
Ye Zhongming felt that this should be the highest evolution level currently on this planet and one of the most powerful mutated life forms.
This upper dragon was a genuine eighth-level existence!
The ocean, indeed, is a place capable of giving birth to miracles.
As soon as this eighth-level upper dragon set foot on the island, it displayed its unparalleled strength. It arrogantly walked towards the Sea King Disk, and under the allure of the golden light, a seventh-level sea beast dared to block its path. The upper dragon directly used its relatively ‘petite’ three-meter tall body to ram into the abdomen of the opponent that resembled a building, and mere seconds later, this gigantic sea beast fell to the ground, unwilling to die.
Faced with this eighth-level opponent, it had no power to resist at all.
Ye Zhongming and the others watched with bated breath, fearing to attract the attention of this terrifying creature.
