Chapter 229 Free Demon Beast Giveaway
229 Free Gift of Demon Beast
However, this time, all the Foundation Establishment powerhouses from the entire world have been mobilized, which made him uneasy. This was something he had never anticipated, and he happened to meet Small Knife, a Foundation Establishment Elder of the Water Element Sect, so he naturally inquired flatteringly.
Small Knife also took the opportunity to inquire about the world outside.
Just like that, Small Knife acquired the desired information, but the other party didn't get what they wanted, resulting in an inevitable stalemate.
The two moved forward, and they weren't the first Foundation Establishment powerhouses to arrive.
So they were quickly received by the Outer Sect Elders of the Five Elements Sword Sect, and accommodations were arranged.
The location was in the middle of the five peaks, covering a large area, with each person having a cave residence. The presence of Spiritual Qi was abundant, and the environment was excellent.
Already, over twenty Foundation Establishments had arrived in advance.
Soon, Small Knife was invited to a gathering.
As the people gathered, they were restlessly discussing this mandatory order, not understanding its significance. Then they started the exchange meeting.
This was customary.
All were Foundation Establishment powerhouses, and indeed had a few top-tier items hidden away.
Previously, the most sought-after was the Foundation Establishment Pill, while Magical Artifacts were the least favored.
Because as the top-level cultivators of this world, they essentially faced no danger.
But things were different now, as leaving this world wouldn't be a leisurely excursion; they would definitely encounter danger.
This led to magical artifacts, which were previously of little use in this world, skyrocketing in value, while the Foundation Establishment Pill, originally a profound treasure, was eagerly exchanged for combat ability.
However, for Foundation Establishment powerhouses, early-stage Magical Artifacts were useless; at least middle-grade ones were needed.
Foundation Establishment powerhouses could easily nurture middle-grade Magical Artifacts, and almost everyone present had them, but no one was willing to trade those that could directly enhance attack and defense, not even for more.
Seeing this, Small Knife took out a sharp spike Flying Sword from the Chaotic Sea Ancient Beast.
He presented a middle-grade Magical Artifact, asking for nothing else but a direct exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill.
One-for-one.
This would have been impossible in previous times.
In the outside world, the Foundation Establishment Pill is worth much more than middle-grade Magical Artifacts.
Now, it was being competed for, and the Foundation Establishment elder who successfully made the exchange even added over a thousand Spirit Stones as a bonus to secure the top deal.
Small Knife was very pleased with this acquisition, as after all, these were Foundation Establishment old-timers. Even the Four Major Forces could not bring out so much when purchasing items from players.
Thus, Small Knife took out a second sharp spike Flying Sword.
It was naturally exchanged as well.
With two Foundation Establishment Pills in hand, but still not satisfied, Small Knife readily presented Spirit Water.
First Realm Spirit Water, not only restoring Spiritual Power but also significant for healing injuries, and was among the most commonly used enhancers.
So he easily exchanged it for another two Foundation Establishment Pills.
This was also the reason these old beings, returning to retire, had converted almost all their wealth into Foundation Establishment Pills for nurturing the younger generation.
Even having upper-grade and middle-grade Magical Artifacts were sold off in the Upper Realm; the middle-grade Magical Artifacts they now had were the ones nurtured later.
Anyway, having returned, this place was safe, and they could slowly nurture the Magical Artifacts, while the Foundation Establishment Pill was something rare and invaluable.
In retiring there, descendants naturally followed, and the Foundation Establishment Pill became a foundational asset for future family generations.
They never dreamed that they would be forcibly recalled, which to them seemed unimaginable.
And something unprecedented.
Thus, the Foundation Establishment Pill became a burden and benefited Small Knife.
This brought Small Knife into the spotlight, sparking the curiosity of other Foundation Establishment cultivators, though there was nothing they could do.
Feeling it was enough.
Just as an elderly Foundation Establishment cultivator was introducing his Top-Grade Spirit Talisman, attracting everyone's attention.
Small Knife immediately opened his personal space.
And released the Chaotic Sea Ancient Beast, which had been difficult to restrain.
"What is that?" Small Knife screamed and retreated instantly.
With Small Knife's alert, everyone reacted immediately.
As soon as the Chaotic Sea Ancient Beast appeared, it quickly expanded and emitted an aura surpassing the early stage of Foundation Establishment, reaching the middle stage.
Then, as if subjected to an invisible suppression, its aura began to wither.
Small Knife sensed that the entire world's power was suppressing this creature.
This was much more powerful than the force within his personal space, and within just a few breaths, the Chaotic Sea Ancient Beast was pushed back to the peak of the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
Small Knife had a premonition; the Chaotic Sea Ancient Beast's foundation was not simple and likely wasn't a being of this world, but came from the Outer World.
That's why it possessed such powerful methods.
Even though it was suppressed to the early stage of Foundation Establishment by the world power, it wasn't ordinary and wouldn't be easily defeated by someone at the same stage without enough depth.
"Chaotic Sea Ancient Beast!"
An elderly Foundation Establishment powerhouse seemed to recall something and immediately recognized it, exclaiming in shock.
Then everyone fled even faster.
Everyone was unscathed because the Chaotic Sea Ancient Beast hadn't attacked but was rapidly expanding and fleeing far away like a startled bird.
The Five Elements Sword Sect responded swiftly as well.
Loud shouts rang out.
Sword-controlling cultivators flew out from the five peaks.
In the largest numbers, they were almost all in the Qi Cultivation Stage.
They hadn't attacked yet, not even approached, when they suddenly paused, seemingly receiving some instructions.
Pausing in mid-air in bewilderment.
Then, visibly, lines emerged above the five peaks.
Array?
Mountain Protection Array?
Then colorful rays of light shot up from the five peaks, converging in the air into one hundred-meter long Flying Swords.
Each radiating an aura at the peak of the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
"Array?" Small Knife pondered.
"Tier Two Top-Grade Mountain Protection Array, Five Elements Sword Array." Small Knife had already retreated far away, as did the other Foundation Establishment elders.
