"If you want to defeat Ye Qiudi, you have to cultivate to the Soul Transformation stage. You have to refine the soul of the Nether Crane, which is at least fifth on the Beast Rankings. Only then will you have a chance." The divine beast, the Kun Peng, that was lurking in Lu Changfeng's dantian's Qi Sea, suddenly spoke.

"Damn, you finally spoke." Lu Changfeng said in dissatisfaction, "Watching your master being bullied, if you don't come out and scare them, you'll give me face."

"With your current strength, can you transform me into my true form and use it to scare me? You must be dreaming. " The Roc shook its head helplessly.

"Alright, you're amazing, you're the boss! Why can only refine the fifth ranked Netherworld Crane, and not the top ranked demon beast? " Lu Changfeng said in dissatisfaction.

"Boy, don't be greedy. With your current strength, refining the fifth Unholy Crane is your limit. As for the top four magical beasts, you don't have the qualifications to hunt them.

"Okay, where's the Netherworld Crane?" Lu Changfeng could not wait any longer.

"It's in the Abyss!"

If the Green Fox Ridge was said to be the heart of the frozen forest, then the depths of the Abyss was the heart of the Green Fox Ridge. It was a huge swamp with a radius of a hundred miles.

When Lu Changfeng arrived at the Abyss, even though he had prepared himself mentally, he was still shocked by the scene before him.

The swamps of the Abyss were as far as the eye could see. The pitch-black soil was suffused with a black miasma and was lifeless. It emitted an extremely fishy stench and did not have a single trace of life.

On top of the swamp, many bubbles burst and emitted black poisonous gas. From time to time, black mud would roll about. Lu Changfeng knew that there were all kinds of dangerous magical beasts hidden under the swamp.

It was just that they were extremely good at camouflage and blended into one with the swamp, making it extremely difficult to distinguish them with the naked eye.

At this moment, a piece of black soil not far from the swamp began to roll violently. It quickly moved towards Lu Changfeng, and a foul stench assaulted his nostrils.

Lu Changfeng looked over and saw that the moving monster was a gigantic crocodile!

This was the ninth ranked Black Dragon Demon Crocodile!

"Brat, looks like I'm going to take action again!" The Kun Peng Divine Beast suddenly said, "This Black Dragon Demon Crocodile's strength is so great that it can sweep away a hill. Moreover, its attacks are filled with dense black poison gas. You absolutely cannot do it without me!"

"Blood vessels are connected!" Without waiting for Lu Changfeng's response, the Kun Peng Divine Beast forcefully channeled its invincible ancient power into the ancient bloodline within Lu Changfeng's body.

Lu Changfeng felt as if the blood in his body was boiling, and the Essence in his dantian was surging. The strength in his entire body suddenly increased by a hundred times, and he fiercely punched the Black Dragon Demon Crocodile.

Terrifying spirit power gushed out like a thunderbolt. Even though the Black Dragon Demon Crocodile's body was as hard as iron, under the bombardment of Lu Changfeng's spirit energy infused with the ancient magical beast's power, its flesh and blood were all blown into smithereens.

The tyrannical spiritual energy didn't decrease at all, shaking everything within a hundred miles. It caused the magical beasts hidden in the swamps to constantly churn as they appeared one by one.

However, Lu Changfeng's body also suffered a huge blow. The powerful strength of the Kun Peng Divine Beast far surpassed what Lu Changfeng, who was currently at the Transcending Mortality Stage, could endure. His eight meridians felt as though they were about to burst.

"Quickly consume the Dan Yuan of the Black Dragon Demon Crocodile!" The divine beast, Kun Peng, warned.

Lu Changfeng picked up the medicinal pill that was filled with green light and consumed it immediately. A foul stench assaulted his throat.

However, as soon as the dan Yuan Qi entered his stomach, it immediately exploded and released an endless stream of Yuan Qi that gushed into the meridians and blood of Lu Changfeng's body, and along with the power released by the Kun Peng, it turned into surging Qi and stored in his Dantian's Qi Sea.

Only then did the swelling pain in Lu Changfeng's meridians slowly disappear.

At the same time, Lu Changfeng felt that the strength in his body had grown many times stronger than before. With a light wave of his hand, a faint golden Spiritual Energy shot out.

With a loud boom, a huge crater was created on the swamp. Black mud flew in all directions and five Black Dragon Demon Crocodiles were sent flying. They fell straight down and were knocked unconscious by Lu Changfeng's palm strike.

Obviously, the current Lu Changfeng already had the strength to advance into the Soul Transformation stage. What he needed to do now was to find the Netherworld Crane and refine its beast spirit. Only by doing this could he have the chance to defeat the Earthly Lord Stage Ye Qiudi.

"What a terrifying power. Have I fused with the power of the Black Dragon Devil Crocodile?" Lu Changfeng was secretly shocked.

"A mere Black Dragon Devil Crocodile is nothing!" The Kun Peng Divine Beast scoffed, "Your ultimate goal in coming here is to find the Netherworld Crane and refine it!"

"Only by refining the Netherworld Crane's beast spirit will you have the opportunity to go further and cultivate to an even higher realm!"

The Kun Peng Divine Beast urged Lu Changfeng nonstop, fearing that he would stagnate due to his pride.

"How can I find the Netherworld Crane?" Lu Changfeng could not wait to find the Netherworld Crane for the few squads of Kun Peng Divine Beasts.

Of course, there was another important reason why Lu Changfeng couldn't wait to find the Netherworld Crane. Once he refined it, he would be able to obtain all the magical beasts in the frozen forest.

"The Unholy Crane is an extremely intelligent magical beast. It is just a step away from evolving to a Spiritual Beast."

"At this time, the Netherworld Crane is probably hiding in some corner and cultivating and evolving. In the vast Abyss, finding it is easier said than done!"

"But it has a fatal flaw, and that is that the Unholy Crane's wine is lustful."

"As long as you fully utilize the weakness of the Unholy Crane, you will be able to draw it out."

"Good wine and sex?" Lu Changfeng was taken aback. "In such a desolate place, not even a single person could be seen. Where in the world do you get such good wine from?"

"Also, even if there is good wine from beauties, we can't let the Unholy Crane ruin our plans!"

"Who said there aren't any more beauties?" The Kun Peng Divine Beast roared, "Isn't the young miss of the Ye family, who always looks down on you, a peerless beauty?!"

"Absolutely not! We absolutely cannot let the Netherworld Crane see her!" Lu Changfeng hurriedly rejected the Kun Peng's suggestion.

"With me here, what are you afraid of?" The Kun Peng Divine Beast said, "Moreover, she looks down on you in the first place. Why are you still thinking for her?"

"She can take responsibility for me, but I can't take responsibility for her!" Lu Changfeng felt a sense of desolation, "Furthermore, this is too dangerous. I can't let her be harmed by the Netherworld Crane in front of me!"

"Sigh, those who achieve great things cannot be restrained by these matters of love between children." The Roc let out a sigh.

"No way, no way. Let's think of another way!" Lu Changfeng said.

"This piece of trash also came to the Abyss?" Lu Changfeng heard a mocking voice come from behind him. He didn't even need to look to know that Ye Qiudi and her group had also come to the Abyss.

"Haha, you didn't find her, she delivered herself to you." The Kun Peng Divine Beast was secretly delighted, "However, don't worry, this is bait. I guarantee that the Netherworld Crane will not be able to harm her!"

Lu Changfeng turned around and saw Ye Qiudi, dressed in flowing white clothes, bringing a group of people to the Abyssal Abyss.
