Feng, if there's a disagreement, just self-destruct.
Night!
After extinguishing the campfire, Chen Chu and An Fuqing allocated their night watch duties.
An Fuqing, who was on guard for the first half of the night, sat down by the cliff's edge and quickly fell into a meditative state. The immense energy of heaven and earth surged towards her, drawn in by her sword intent.
Glancing at the young girl with her long hair dancing wildly behind her, Chen Chu also leaned against the mountain wall, crossed his legs, and entered into a state of cultivation.
Buzz!
As the dragon elephant skill operated at the sixth level, streams of heavenly energy breathed into Chen Chu's body through his pores, quickly refined by the true dragon power.
The amount of energy absorbed and refined each second was a hundred times that of his previous cultivation at the third level of heaven.
This showcased the terrifying nature of condensing divine might dominance body, as he inhaled and exhaled like a true giant beast, drawing in energy from the universe.
Compared to the enormous mutated beasts that awakened their innate abilities at the second or third levels, human cultivators in the early stages were almost always at a disadvantage.
A typical first level of heaven cultivator couldn't match a first-level mutated beast, and a second level couldn't contend with a second-level beast, only able to challenge them after reaching the third level with true power and weapon techniques.
But once they stepped into the fourth level of heaven, the gap between cultivators and mutated beasts quickly began to close as true martial power gradually revealed itself.
Moreover, as they rose in rank, when they reached the sixth level of heaven, with extraordinary weapons, battle armor, secret techniques, advanced techniques, and willpower, human cultivators could even overpower mutated creatures.
Upon reaching the seventh level of heaven, when a cultivator could summon true martial phantoms and manipulate heavenly energy with every movement, they became even stronger, far surpassing the mutated giant beasts that relied on their physical gifts.
Of course, this comparison wasn't absolute. Just like human geniuses, mutated beasts of the same level could still be divided into ordinary, elite, royal bloodlines, and dragons.
However, humans with complete technique inheritances and cultivation paths generally had greater potential and faster growth than those mutated beasts.
Just as Chen Chu was quietly cultivating, he suddenly felt a slight movement in his heart, his attention shifting towards the thunder flame giant beast.
Roar! The cave had been dug open.
More than a thousand meters beneath the deep sea, the cave located halfway up the mountain emitted a ghostly blue glow. Seeing this scene, the thunder flame giant beast couldn't help but emit a savage roar.
This was because it had buried the cave entrance before it left.
Nearby, the forty-six-meter-long mutated tiger kun swung its massive tail with disappointment, emitting a whimpering sound.
Wimper, wimper, wimper!! Thunder Flame, there's no good stuff inside anymore.
Once, the two beasts had taken down two deep-sea double-headed pythons here, especially memorable due to the poisonous and slowing innate abilities of the opponents.
This was the only time the thunder flame giant beast had encountered abilities related to time since entering the deep sea.
If it weren't for not meeting the evolution requirements at that time, it would have considered absorbing that slowing ability.
Beside it, the massive and fierce deep sea dragon turtle curiously peeked into the cave and then growled, "Roar!! It's too small, can't fit."
Roar! I'll go take a look.
The thunder flame giant beast was undeterred, swinging its tail and forcing its way into the ghostly blue cave.
At this moment, the thunder flame giant beast had already grown to forty-eight meters in length, looking even more ferocious, and the cave it once entered casually now felt somewhat cramped.
