Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 660 - 317: Fourth Rank Demon Monarch

"Since that’s the case, I have something to offer, perhaps it can lend you a hand."

As she spoke, True Monarch Lan Ling lightly waved her delicate hand, a circle of elegant purple ripples emanating from her sleeve. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

A streak of light shot out from her Storage Ring and landed steadily in front of Xu Ping.

The light dissipated, revealing a small, deep blue oil-paper umbrella.

It appeared ordinary and unassuming, but Xu Ping could sense an extraordinary aura within it.

"This item is called the ’Calamity Transformation Umbrella,’ it was something I acquired in my early years. It is quite beneficial for overcoming tribulations."

"Now, I present it to you as a small reward for your contributions to the sect." True Monarch Lan Ling nodded slightly, a subtle and hard-to-detect deep meaning flashing in her eyes.

"Thank you for the gift, True Monarch."

Xu Ping expressed his joy and immediately cupped his hands in gratitude.

The ’Calamity Transformation Umbrella’ gifted by True Monarch Lan Ling was clearly much superior to the treasure he bought for the Water Lake Mouse to pass the Thunder Tribulation.

With this treasure in hand, the Water Lake Mouse should be able to safely overcome the Thunder Tribulation.

Subsequently, True Monarch Lan Ling also shared some insights on Demon Beasts breaking through to the Fourth Rank with Xu Ping.

Naturally, Xu Ping cupped his hands in gratitude, memorizing every word of True Monarch Lan Ling.

These were invaluable experiences summed up by the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons through countless practices.

For Xu Ping, who was attempting to transform his Spirit Pet for the first time, they were undoubtedly of immense reference value.

...

...

Three months passed by like flowing water.

On this day, it was the auspicious day Xu Ping had chosen.

In the center of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons’ mountain gate, within a temporarily constructed stone hall in the region of the Fourth Rank Spirit Vein.

This area was surrounded by a special Array, capable of adjusting the most suitable ratio of Spiritual Qi and Evil Qi according to the different attributes of the Demon Beasts, providing the best external environment for breakthroughs.

All the Fourth Rank Demon Monarchs of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons completed their transformations and breakthroughs in this area.

Boom!

At this moment, a vast and ocean-like wave of Demonic Power abruptly erupted from the stone hall, akin to an ancient fierce beast awakening.

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within a hundred-mile radius went berserk, forming countless vortexes visible to the naked eye, madly converging toward the central stone hall.

"The Third Rank Demon Core is beginning to transform!"

Xu Ping sat cross-legged on the high platform outside the stone hall, his eyes reflecting the increasingly intense purple-blue glow within the hall.

Inside the stone hall, the curled-up body of the Water Lake Mouse hovered in mid-air, surrounded by liquid-like purple-blue Demonic Power.

The Third Rank Demon Core in its abdomen was undergoing earth-shattering changes.

The originally round surface of the core began to crack, with countless fine golden lines spreading from the inside out.

Simultaneously, the aura of the Water Lake Mouse surged to the extreme of the Third Rank in an instant.

And this surge was far from over, accelerating rapidly toward the Fourth Rank.

In the sky, anomalies began to appear, the originally clear sky gradually covered by thick clouds, with lightning flashing and thunderstorms raging.

These were natural reactions sensing the imminent breakthrough of the Demon Beast, a prelude to the impending Thunder Tribulation.

Three days later.

The anomalies in the Heavenly Phenomena intensified, causing a tidal wave of Spiritual Qi, the active and turbulent Spiritual Qi gradually expanding to hundreds, even thousands of miles.

All cultivators in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons could clearly feel this abnormal fluctuation.

Crack!

A crisp shattering sound echoed through the stone hall, the shell of the Demon Core completely disintegrated, revealing a radiant purple-blue light cluster within, shining like a star.

This light cluster squirmed and expanded as if it had life, gradually solidifying into a new, fist-sized core with mysterious patterns flowing on its surface—a Fourth Rank Essence Core!

"It has succeeded!"

Xu Ping’s eyes sparkled with bright light.

As soon as the Essence Core took shape, it emitted a terrifying pressure that far surpassed the Third Rank, twisting the air inside the stone hall.

Even more astonishing was that the entire transformation process only lasted three days, breaking a record that had stood for thousands of years in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.

At this moment, even True Monarch Lan Ling was slightly astonished.

"It seems that Elder Yan’s Spirit Pet is even more profound than I imagined," True Monarch Lan Ling mused inwardly, her gaze filled with even more admiration.

The Water Lake Mouse’s rapid transformation into the Fourth Rank Essence Core, even with the aid of a mysterious Demon Core, highlighted its powerful foundation.

Dozens of miles away, at Yunqing Zhenren’s cave residence.

"Why is this man so formidable, and even his Spirit Pet has such a profound foundation!"

Standing at the peak, Yunqing Zhenren gazed coldly at the distant Heavenly Phenomena, his eyes full of unwillingness and resentment.

His foundation had been destroyed, and although his master had perfectly restored it with a healing holy pill, he still blamed Xu Ping.

Old grudges unresolved, only to be added with new enmity.

Seeing that Xu Ping’s Spirit Pet was successfully breaking through to Fourth Rank and transforming, his hatred for Xu Ping only deepened, like a venomous serpent coiling in his heart, lingering day and night.

"This is just the first hurdle; I refuse to believe this dumb mouse can truly break through to the Fourth Rank transformation!"

A faint cold smile appeared on Yunqing Zhenren’s lips.

He was already preparing to break through to Nascent Soul, naturally aware of the challenges involved.

How could a wild Demon Beast ever be worthy of breaking through to Fourth Rank transformation!

...

Rumble—

As if sensing the formation of the Fourth Rank Essence Core, the sky above the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons suddenly turned gloomy.

Dense, gray Tribulation Clouds rapidly gathered from all sides, as if drawn by some mysterious force, covering the skies within a radius of several dozen miles in an instant.

These tribulation clouds were not ordinary clouds but bore a certain majesty of the Heaven and Earth Laws.

Faintly visible within the clouds were green lightning flashes, like serpents ready to devour anything in their path!
