Chapter 505: Fire Element Profound Truth

The Blade Slaughter Sect Master was amazed. In such a short time, his own disciple had managed to kill a Tri-System Deity!

Relying on the Sacred Artifact, the Profound Annihilation Spear, Li Yang had spent more than ten minutes to wear down and kill a Tri-System Deity!

"By the way, Teacher, is there any news about the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon or the Thunder Star Beast?" Li Yang asked.

Li Yang couldn't possibly search for the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon and the Thunder Star Beast all by himself, so he naturally asked the Blade Slaughter Sect Master for help.

As an invincible king of the Divine Realm, the Blade Slaughter Sect Master knew many people on the Slaughter Battlefield.

"No."

Hearing Li Yang's question, the Blade Slaughter Sect Master shook his head. "I did run into one before," he said, "but that Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon was very cautious and vanished quickly."

On the Slaughter Battlefield, members of the same race got along well, but when encountering an Alien Race, the only options were to fight or flee. Trying to follow one constantly was just too difficult.

'Still nothing?' Li Yang felt a sense of helplessness.

...

'It seems finding the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon and the Thunder Star Beast is even harder than I imagined.' Li Yang shook his head.

It was like trying to pinpoint a constantly moving fish in the ocean. Even if someone else spotted it, by the time Li Yang arrived, there was a ninety-nine percent chance the fish would have already swum away to some unknown location.

'That Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon left too?'

He gazed into the distance. By now, Li Yang had reached the location where the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon had been reported.

He knew a Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon had been cultivating in seclusion here, so he had rushed over immediately. But by the time he arrived, it had already left.

The entire Slaughter Battlefield was immense, and every expert on it was constantly moving. Finding a specific target was, needless to say, incredibly difficult.

This meant that Li Yang had completely lost his target.

'Forget it. I'll just take it one step at a time. For now, it's time to break through!'

At this moment, Li Yang was on a huge mountain peak. Strange fluctuations emanated from his body—this was the Self-Sustaining Profound Skill of the Fire Element Law!

Li Yang had acquired his Fire Nether Divine Beast avatar relatively early. In terms of Law comprehension, his understanding of the Fire Element Law was the strongest.

He had previously mastered the Melting Essence Profound Skill and broken through to the World Realm. And now, he was on the verge of mastering the second profound skill of the Fire Element Law: the Self-Sustaining Profound Skill!

Even while he had been in the Virtual World, his avatar had continued to work on its comprehension.

And just a moment ago, he had finally reached the cusp of mastery!

This time, Li Yang wouldn't suppress it like before. He chose to complete his comprehension immediately.

With Li Yang focusing on his comprehension, only a short time passed before he completely mastered the Self-Sustaining Profound Skill!

RUMBLE!

A scorching energy spread between heaven and earth, and Li Yang sensed it immediately.

This energy, endless and inexhaustible, existed everywhere in the void. Now, it descended abruptly! It was the Law Origin of the Fire Element!

A single Law system contained four profound skills. Mastering any one of them would cause the corresponding Law Origin to descend from the heavens and temper the cultivator's physical body.

Li Yang focused his mind, continuously circulated the law, and began to absorb the streams of the Fire Element Law Origin.

This absorption process lasted for a full three hours!

Afterward, the endless Fire Element Law Origin slowly receded.

'My strength has increased a bit more.'

Feeling the increase in his strength, a slight smile touched Li Yang's lips.

Because his own foundation was so powerful, the boost in strength from absorbing the Law Origin for mastering just one more profound skill wasn't particularly large.

What pleased Li Yang more, however, was his progress in the Fire Element Law!

'The Fire Element Law has four profound skills. In less than a hundred years since I began my comprehension, I've already fully mastered two of them! Just two more to go.'

As long as he mastered the remaining ones, he could break through and become a Deity!

And his Fire Nether Divine Beast avatar was a born Deity. As long as he fully mastered the four profound skills, there would be no bottleneck for him in the Fire Element Law, and he could break through easily.

Amidst his joy, Li Yang looked into the distance, and the smile on his face faded a little.

'Oh well. If I can't find them, there's nothing to be done. My main body should head to the Legacy Grounds for now!'

After another sweep of the area confirmed the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon was gone, Li Yang had no choice but to leave.

He flew off into the distance.

"Li Yang."

He hadn't flown far when Soul Ink's voice suddenly spoke up. "I have some good news for you."

"Oh? What good news?"

Hearing Soul Ink, Li Yang's heart leaped with joy. "Did you find that Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon?" he asked.

Soul Ink's detection ability was obviously immeasurably stronger than his. For Li Yang right now, finding the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon was clearly the best possible news.

"No," Soul Ink shook his head.

'You didn't?' At his words, a hint of disappointment flickered in Li Yang's eyes.

"But I did find some Thunder Star Beasts," Soul Ink said calmly.

"What? Thunder Star Beasts?" Hearing Soul Ink's words, an expression of incredible joy lit up Li Yang's eyes once more. "Where?"

He was overjoyed. The Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon and the Thunder Star Beast were both his targets!

He came to his destination, didn't find the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon, and ended up finding a Thunder Star Beast instead! This was an unexpected blessing.

"With your Thunder Star Beast avatar, it will take about twenty minutes to get there," Soul Ink said.

"Twenty minutes?"

Li Yang nodded. "Is anyone around right now?"

"Rest assured, no one is paying attention to this area. You can summon your Thunder Star Beast avatar directly," Soul Ink said calmly, knowing Li Yang's concern.

He had been an Overlord in his previous life. Unless another Overlord happened to pass by, he could easily detect even the consciousness of an Emperor.

"That's good!" Li Yang nodded. With a single thought...

SWISH!

A giant beast appeared before him.

This was a two-hundred-meter-long behemoth that resembled a flood dragon!

The behemoth's body was purple and appeared to be made of rock. It had four sharp claws and a thick tail nearly as long as its entire body.

Mystical, lightning-like patterns seemed to cover every inch of its body. At first glance, it looked as if real lightning was arcing across its form, making one's soul tremble.

It was none other than Li Yang's Thunder Star Beast avatar!

"ROAR!"

The Thunder Star Beast avatar appeared and couldn't help but let out a low, excited roar.

'Time for the Thunder Star Beast avatar to move out!'

Now that other Thunder Star Beasts had been found, Li Yang certainly wasn't going to waste any time.

WHOOSH!

The Thunder Star Beast avatar turned into a streak of light and swiftly flew off into the distance.

"Soul Ink, keep an eye on those two Thunder Star Beasts. I'll need you to tell me if my avatar needs to change direction."

Twenty minutes was a long time. If the two Thunder Star Beasts changed their course, he might miss them.

"Don't worry," Soul Ink said calmly. "Just keep flying. I'll let you know ahead of time if you need to change course."

"Good," Li Yang nodded.

His eyes were full of excitement. The Thunder Star Beast race was a truly powerful race in the Cosmos. Although they didn't have a Creator Ancestor, they had at least several Overlords!

Besides the ten great races with Creator Ancestors, like the Human Race and the Demon Race, the strongest races in the next tier were ones like the Thunder Star Beasts!

'If I could blend in with them and be cultivated as a top-tier genius, how great would the benefits be?'
