My Beasts Grind Proficiency For Me

Chapter 637: Chapter 3: Wing-Spreading Great Saint

Under Yang Jing’s command, the Flying Ship Fleet sailed west at high speed, heedless of the Spiritual Qi consumption.

The many crew members aboard the Flying Boats all wore nervous and uneasy expressions. In the Central Continent, battles between Flying Boats were extremely rare, not to mention that most of them had previously been nothing more than crew on cargo vessels.

Flying Boat battles at sea were particularly brutal, a winner-take-all battlefield. Even if the losers were lucky enough to survive the fight, their chances of survival in the vast, open ocean were slim.

Unless one was a Cultivator proficient in Water Escape, even a Golden Core Cultivator would not have enough Magical Power to fly back to the Central Continent from the West Sea.

Aside from the crew members who were extremely eager for military honors, nearly everyone else would have preferred to avoid the intercepting Demon Sect fleet and head directly for the Western Continent.

However, Yang Jing’s word was law in the Rescue Army. Once he gave a military order, they dared not raise any objections.

The Demon Sect fleet. The entire force was composed of three sub-fleets, from the Northern Demon Sect, the Southern Demon Sect, and the Eastern Demon Sect, respectively. Onboard were also seven Demon Saints from the Western Continent’s Demon Court and three seafaring Demon Saints who held dominion over parts of the ocean.

The fleets had only completed their rendezvous seven days prior, and even now, the command structure was still rather chaotic.

By the personal decree of the Celestial Slaughter Demon Saint, command of the entire fleet had been given to the Nascent Soul Cultivator Chu Feng. Chu Feng was an Elder of the Southern Demon Sect who had commanded Flying Ship Fleets for years, fighting against the fleets of the Central Continent’s Fuhai Sect in the North Sea. He possessed a wealth of experience.

But even with the Celestial Slaughter Demon Saint’s backing, the other Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators in the fleet were deeply dissatisfied with Chu Feng, often feigning compliance while acting otherwise.

Most Demon Cultivators were selfish and self-serving. They were worried that under Chu Feng’s command, they would be used as cannon fodder and needlessly sacrificed.

The Demons were even more defiant and unruly. They had already fought to a fever pitch against the Six Sects Alliance Army on the Western Continent and had developed an addiction to eating people. After being incorporated into the fleet, they frequently and secretly devoured Demon Cultivators from the crew.

’These various hindrances are giving me a splitting headache. However, if I can command the fleet to annihilate the Rescue Army and kill Yang Jing in battle—that Cultivator the Celestial Slaughter Demon Saint sees as a thorn in his side—I will surely win the Demon Saint’s favor. When I ascend to the Outer Realm in the future, I could become the lord of my own Demon Country, not some slave ordered around by the Outer Celestial Demons.’

’With a little more accumulation, I might even be able to reach Divinity Transformation.’

’In the Outer Realm, reaching Divinity Transformation isn’t as difficult as it is in the Nine Heavens World, especially for a Demon Cultivator like me.’

"The shipping lanes from the Central Continent across the West Sea to the Western Continent are limited. Our fleet is stationed at a choke point they must pass through. Everyone, be on high alert. A great battle could break out at any moment."

He had convened a meeting on the flagship, the Black Demon, summoning most of the Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Although the sea appears vast and open, with routes seemingly everywhere, the number of safe passages is actually quite limited. Within the West Sea are numerous massive Mixed Caves. These Mixed Caves are points of corrosion where the Outer Realm encroaches upon the Nine Heavens World, continuously releasing Demonic Qi into it.

Some Mixed Caves have even been occupied directly by Nascent Soul Demon Kings and transformed into Demon Countries.

These Mixed Caves are saturated with Demonic Qi. A Flying Boat passing through the airspace above them would have to consume a massive amount of Spiritual Qi at all times. This situation is extremely dangerous. If a ship were to get trapped deep within a Mixed Cave, it might even run out of Spiritual Qi, leading to its destruction and the death of its crew.

Therefore, a small number of High Tier Flying Boats might risk a direct passage through a Mixed Cave. But a large fleet would never risk such enormous losses by attempting to cross.

"This Yang Jing was quite active back on the Western Continent. He ruined quite a few of the Western Continent Demon Sect’s major plans. I never expected him to actually become a significant power. Even the old ancestor, Celestial Slaughter, is wary of him, sending down a decree from the Outer Realm for us to take his life."

A Body Refining Demon Cultivator covered in golden scales, with Demon Horns sprouting from his head, said:

"But no matter how strong he is, thinking he can aid the Western Continent by cobbling together a ragtag army is just wishful thinking. If he had turtled up in the Central Continent, there’d be little we could do. But now that he’s left, isn’t this the perfect opportunity for us to curry favor with the old ancestor, Celestial Slaughter?"

These Four Sects Demon Cultivators usually feigned compliance with the Outer Celestial Demons, but they would never pass up an opportunity to curry favor with the old ancestor, Celestial Slaughter.

"According to our spies embedded in the Thousand Islands Alliance, his so-called Rescue Army is mostly using Flying Boats gathered from the Noble Families of the Western Continent. Most of them are Tier Two Flying Boats, with only a few Tier Three vessels. It’s a shame those spies were later rooted out by Yang Jing’s disciple using that Divine Mirror Magical Treasure. Still, Flying Boats are precious. Even if Yang Jing acquired a few more in the following days, it couldn’t be many. With superior numbers and superior strength, the advantage in this battle is ours!"

Chu Feng pointed to the Nautical Chart behind him, his voice brimming with confidence.

The other Nascent Soul Cultivators mostly thought the same and burst out laughing. As for the Demon Saints from the Western Continent and the sea, the thought of a massive feast of blood and flesh made their eyes gleam as they involuntarily started to drool.

Seeing these Demons’ disgraceful behavior, a flicker of contempt passed through the eyes of the Demon Cultivators present.

Chu Feng gestured for silence. He was well aware that these Demons were defiant and unruly, and that they often devoured their own allies, causing great unease and resentment among the Low Tier Cultivators in the fleet. However, the Demons’ Power was not to be underestimated, especially those from the Western Continent, many of whom possessed innate Talents. To completely annihilate the Rescue Army, he would have to rely on them.

"My greatest concern is that the Rescue Army might dive deep into the sea or ascend high into the sky to evade our blockade. Therefore, Flipping River Great Saint and Swallowing Sea Great Saint, I ask that you lead the Demons skilled in water to lock down the entire sea region along the shipping lane. If you encounter the Rescue Army, just hold them in place. We will arrive in an instant. As for the sky, our Four Sects’ Golden Core Cultivators will pilot small Flying Boats, joining Spreading Wings Great Saint and Riding Wind Great Saint to establish a blockade in the Taixiao Heaven."

Chu Feng had fought against the Central Continent’s Flying Boats over a hundred times and was extremely familiar with their tactics. They loved to leverage the superior performance of their vessels, either by diving into the water or ascending to high altitudes to launch surprise attacks.

The Demon Sect Flying Boats could only take the hits passively, completely helpless. But things were different now. When it came to diving and flying, these Great Demons who had reached the Demon Saint realm were in no way inferior to the Central Continent’s Flying Boats. He would have them tie down the enemy, and then he would lead the fleet to deliver the final blow.

Chu Feng already had the script written in his mind.

Spreading Wings Great Saint had not fully taken human form. He had the head of an eagle, with sharp, piercing eyes. His feathers were like blades, and his voice was as shrill as a sword’s cry:

"We can certainly fly up to the Taixiao Heaven. But if the Rescue Army comes from the sea, we still want half the blood food afterward."

He had roamed freely across the Western Continent, devouring countless Golden Core Cultivators from the Six Sects, and his Demon Power had grown substantially. If he could just devour a dozen more Golden Core Cultivators, he might be able to break through his bloodline’s shackles and reach the next level.
