100: Chapter 100 Eighth-Tier Magical Beast

However, Xiao Yan was not interested in those barbarian tribes; unifying the Northwest Continent provided enough prestige, and spending time on other continents would undoubtedly be a waste of time.

"Since that is the case, tell me the location of the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire. Time waits for no one, and I shall depart now," Xiao Yan said directly, ignoring Lion Heaven's hints.

Seeing that Xiao Yan had no intention of dominating the Northern Continent, Lion Heaven couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed, but he still honestly informed Xiao Yan of the location where the war was taking place.

Xiao Yan nodded slightly, and green Qi slowly released from his body, forming a spherical energy membrane that enveloped Xun'er as well.

Wrapping his arms around Xun'er's slender waist, Xiao Yan shot into the sky instantly, speeding toward the north of the continent—the east of his current position—at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people.

The air tore apart wherever he passed, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared beyond the horizon. By the time Lion Heaven widened his eyes to look closely, Xiao Yan's figure had already vanished.

Relying on the Purple-Winged Giant Owl, he probably wouldn't know when he would reach the Southern Continent, and there were no spatial wormholes to the barbarian tribes here, so he could only rely on himself.

The Earth's equator is 40,076 kilometers long, and the fastest airplanes can circle it in just a few hours.

The Jia Ma Empire is traversed by a Magical Beast Mountain Range that stretches for tens of thousands of kilometers, and with over a hundred countries in the Northwest Continent, the minimum distance is several million kilometers.

Xiao Yan's current position was not very close to the coastline near the Northern Continent, yet it was still several hundred thousand kilometers away.

But after only two days or so, Xiao Yan arrived before the ocean where the Sea Heart Flame was born.

Although he had stopped for a period of time in between, this speed was still jaw-dropping.

Looking at the calm, azure ocean before him, Xiao Yan's expression shifted slightly.

"Brother Xiao Yan, what is it?" Xun'er asked curiously. Over the past few days, apart from stopping for a few hours to rest while passing by several well-known large cities, the rest of the time had been spent traveling.

"There seems to be something beneath this ocean." A green light flickered slightly in Xiao Yan's pupils, as if he were looking through the ocean, straight into its deepest depths.

"It likely only has the strength of a Dou Zun Realm, or perhaps it has touched the level of a Ban Sheng. You wait here for me for a moment; I will be right back," Xiao Yan said to Xun'er, though he was somewhat uncertain about the Realm of that aura. After all, even if it were the Ban Sheng Realm, Xiao Yan would not feel a shred of fear.

This location still belonged to the territory of the Northwest Continent, and Xiao Yan had an obligation to investigate. If necessary, he had to eliminate this unstable factor.

"Alright, but do not force yourself if you encounter danger, so as to avoid getting hurt," Xun'er said with some concern. She knew Xiao Yan's actual Realm was only Dou Zong, and although the combat power he displayed far exceeded a Dou Zun, she couldn't help but worry when encountering such matters.

"Rest assured, my strength is sufficient to handle it." Xiao Yan nodded and then flashed into the ocean.

On this azure seabed, there was a bottomless trench. After just a few hundred meters, light became nearly invisible, plunging everything into pitch-black darkness.

In this massive trench, terrifying giant beasts hundreds of zhang in size appeared from time to time. Ordinary people would be scared to the point of heart palpitations and suffocation just by taking a single glance.

However, for Xiao Yan, these giant beasts were merely a matter of a single punch, and he had no interest in observing these giant beasts at this moment.

He soon arrived at the bottom of the trench, where a scene different from the pitch-black trench appeared before his eyes.

Many plants and sea beasts emitted light; although still dim, it was enough to illuminate this area.

And in the middle of this area was a giant clam emitting a milky-white light.

The surface of the clam's shell showed slight signs of cracking, revealing the soft clam meat inside.

Xiao Yan approached slowly, his eyes curiously observing the thousands-of-meters-large clam. The aura he had sensed earlier was emitted by it.

This was an Eighth-Rank Peak Demonic Beast with strength comparable to a Ban Sheng expert, but its current aura was weak, only at the level of an ordinary Eight-Star Dou Zun. It seemed it had suffered significant injuries previously.

"Human, why have you come here?" An aged voice transmitted into his mind.

The giant clam's milky-white light slowly retracted, and then its body also rapidly shrank, eventually transforming into an aged figure.

The figure was hunched, and the aura was weak, giving Xiao Yan the feeling that it was on the verge of death.

As the figure appeared, a milky-white barrier was created, isolating the seawater from this location.

"My name is Xiao Yan. I was passing through and sensed your aura, so I came to take a look," Xiao Yan said truthfully.

Upon hearing this, the old person looked surprised. One must know that this trench was extremely far from the sea surface, and combined with its special secret technique for concealing its aura, even an ordinary Ban Sheng expert would be unable to sense it. Yet, the person before it had actually discovered it.

The old person's eyes shifted, and then it sighed, saying: "Over a hundred years ago, I fought a formidable enemy. Although I successfully killed him in the end, my injuries were too severe, and I could only linger on in this place..."

Seeing the old person's state, Xiao Yan was thoughtful and then said: "Although your injuries are serious, in my view, they are not difficult to treat."

Upon hearing this, the old person's eyes lit up and it said to Xiao Yan: "Can Your Excellency treat my injuries? If you can truly treat my injuries, I will provide sufficient reward."

Xiao Yan shook his head and said: "I have several Pill Formulas that could treat your injuries, but I have not yet collected many of the medicinal herbs required, so I cannot refine them."

"That is truly a pity..." the old person said regretfully, then added: "However, since Your Excellency said this, there must be some hope. I have several spirit pearls that I have nurtured for hundreds of years. If Your Excellency can lend a helping hand, I am willing to hand them all over to you!"

"I have two Medicinal Pills here that should be able to alleviate your injuries. If you are willing, I can exchange them with you." Xiao Yan nodded upon hearing this, then took out two jade bottles and said.

"Since Your Excellency is willing to exchange, I am extremely grateful. I just don't know what these two bottles of Medicinal Pills are?" The old person did not take out the spirit pearls directly but asked instead.

"I observe that not only is your physical body damaged, but your Soul has also suffered damage to a certain extent. Therefore, these two Medicinal Pills are: one is Soul Nourishing Saliva to nourish the Soul, and the other is the hunyuan bone-sculpting pill to repair the physical body." Xiao Yan introduced these two Medicinal Pills to the old person before him.

Xiao Yan had prepared more than one portion of these Medicinal Pills; even if he gave them to this Eighth-Rank Demonic Beast, Xiao Yan still had several portions left in his possession.

The hunyuan bone-sculpting pill required his own intervention to maximize the medicinal effect. By leaving some hidden measures inside the clam spirit's body at that time, he could, to a certain extent, achieve a preventive effect.

Seeing Xiao Yan toss the jade bottles to it, the old person quickly caught them, opened them to observe carefully, and then revealed an expression of pleasant surprise.
