Chapter 366: Chapter 366: The Powerful Juicer, Energetic Zi Ran! (Please Follow)

The six Venerable Realm Demon Beasts were sucked dry, left as withered and shriveled husks.

Xiao Ye’s eyelids twitched, *when a demon beast ran into Yun Bing, at least their bodies stayed intact, but when it came to Ziran, those beasts were completely drained, leaving nothing but dry fur and brittle, squeezed bones—total annihilation.*

*No wonder they called her the Juice Queen—well, the juicing machine!*

Ziran had rosy cheeks, bright eyes brimming with energy, and with a cheeky grin tossed the crystal cores to Yun Bing, saying, "Crystal cores are in hand, let’s hurry up and hit the next spot."

After this fight, she didn’t look drained of energy at all—instead, it was as if she had just nourished herself, seeming even more lively and powerful.

Yun Bing clicked her tongue in amazement, envying her, "Your skill is just awesome, a perpetual motion machine."

"I seriously wish I had your Juice Queen skills."

Ziran rolled her eyes, "You can’t form a contract with me. Otherwise, you’d have all my skills, too."

"Besides, I envy your Mythical level template—even slaying above your realm and unbeatable among your peers!"

Yun Bing nodded, "If I made a contract with you, I’d have more than just your skills. I’d have your body, too."

Then she joked, "If you want a Mythical level, sure thing, go form a contract with Xiao Ye. Then you can upgrade your own template to Mythical."

Ziran didn’t respond, *and who knew what she was thinking inside.*

With that, the group pushed onward.

Along the way, they ran into another group of demon beasts, including Venerable Realm Demon Beasts. Ziran stepped in once more, draining every last one of them into shriveled husks.

They bagged six lower-grade Venerable, ten middle-grade Venerable, four upper-grade Venerable, and two perfected Venerable crystal cores.

Xiao Ye couldn’t help but marvel—*on this planet, although its absolute top combat power was a step below Blue Star, the amount of high-end power was way higher than Blue Star. Venerables walked everywhere, and Great Venerables were as common as dogs.*

*So many high realms, all accumulated over thousands of years.*

*Take any Venerable, for example—Yun Bing took over a thousand years to advance to Venerable Realm. This top-tier core secret realm only opened once every five thousand years, enough time for any demon beast cub with decent talent to ascend to Venerable. The best ones could even make it to Quasi-Saint.*

*Was this lucky, or just misfortune?*

*Even with all these high Realms, because the planet’s rules were flawed, no one could break through past Quasi-Emperor Realm, and the place got enslaved and kept as livestock by the Blue Star Venerable Alliance elders.*

After joining the Venerable Alliance, Xiao Ye had learned some of their secrets. He knew this place was a top core secret realm, opened only once every five thousand years as part of the Venerable Alliance’s legacy.

The three kept moving.

They encountered three more Venerable Realm Beast—Ziran struck as the juicing machine and drained them all dry!

They moved again.

Thirty-six Venerable Realm, one Quasi-Saint—Ziran and Yun Bing both attacked, slaying them all unscathed.

After that, Yun Bing was starting to feel fatigued, muscles aching, while Ziran looked more pumped than ever, her body strong and full of life.

Once they’d recovered a bit, the three headed back out to hunt more demon beasts.

They bumped into sixteen Venerable Realm, two Quasi-Saint—one at initial stage, one at perfect Quasi-Saint.

Xiao Ye used Time Freeze [same realm: five seconds, higher enemy realm: fewer seconds], his innate skill, pausing time for both Quasi-Saints: the initial one for 0.5 seconds, the perfected one for just 0.1 second.

During the time pause, Ziran struck like lightning, unleashing the full power of a perfected Quasi-Saint and slaying both Quasi-Saint demon beasts.

*At this level, victory or defeat happened in a split instant.*

After using Time Freeze to the max, Xiao Ye saw stars and felt like his arms and legs were jelly—he nearly fainted right there.

Luckily, Ziran flashed over and caught the falling Xiao Ye, pulling him into her arms. His head landed on her ample chest, so he avoided face-planting into the dirt.

Without the Quasi-Saint demon beasts and with Ziran’s swift attacks, the remaining Venerable Realm demon beasts were quickly wiped out.

He plunged his hand into the demon beasts’ chests to take out the crystal cores.

After the last core was out,

Yun Bing was left panting for breath, muscles throbbing all over, spatial energy inside her almost gone, and her spirit was close to collapsing.

Ziran, in contrast, bounced around, full of energy and not tired at all.

Yun Bing said with jealousy, "You really are the Juice Queen, the perpetual motion machine!"

Ziran grinned, "Thanks for the compliment!"

Yun Bing counted the crystal cores, "Since coming here, we’ve gotten twenty-four lower-grade Venerable, forty-eight middle-grade Venerable, twenty-nine upper-grade Venerable, ten perfected Venerable. That’s a total of 111 crystal cores."

Ziran nodded, "Halfway through the mission already, and it’s only been a day and a half. Let’s find a spot to rest up and recover a bit, then we’ll keep looking for more Venerable Realm demon beasts."

The goal this time was sixty lower-grade, sixty middle-grade, sixty upper-grade, and twenty perfected Venerable crystal cores—a total of two hundred Venerable Crystal Cores.

The three found an ancient tree, dug out a huge hollow, and Ziran pulled three beds from her storage ring, setting them up in the tree hollow.

Yun Bing stashed one bed, saying, "Xiao Ye and I will share a bed."

Then, with a swirl of spatial power over herself, she swept away all the sweat and grime—totally skipping the need for a bath, coming out smelling fresh and clean.

Xiao Ye did the same, then snuggled up with Yun Bing and hopped into bed for a solid sleep.

Ziran’s face fell black, *she stared at the two lovebirds cuddling next to her, swearing a barrage of mental curses.*

"Hmph! If you two won’t bathe, then I will."

She drew a curtain, summoned a bath barrel, stripped off her purple skirt, and slipped in for a soak.

Time slipped by. Xiao Ye and Yun Bing fell into deep slumber on the bed, while Ziran sat in her bath behind the curtain, eyes closed in meditation.

Three hours later, Xiao Ye heard Tang Hao’s voice in his ear.

Tang Hao said, "Master, there’s a Saint Realm Demon Beast spying on us—it should be a Fire Attribute Saint Realm Demon Beast."

Xiao Ye woke up, his brow jumping!

*A Fire Attribute Saint Realm Demon Beast—probably the very Hydra that the Divination Skill predicted, the one with fire rules.*

*What must come, will come eventually.*

*But in the prophetic vision, Tang Hao didn’t show up. Maybe there was no time to contact him in the vision.*

*This time in real life, Tang Hao made contact early, so at least they wouldn’t be so helpless against a Saint Realm opponent.*

"Not good, the Saint Realm Demon Beast is rushing over. In two minutes, it’ll hit our area," Tang Hao’s voice got urgent.

Xiao Ye bolted upright, springing off the bed. He slapped Yun Bing’s round butt, saying, "Sister Yun Bing, wake up! There’s a Saint Realm Demon Beast coming right at us!"

Yun Bing’s eyes fluttered open, then she jolted awake, getting dressed and standing on her feet in a flash.

After calling Yun Bing, Xiao Ye dashed out to the curtain, shouting, "Sister Ziran, the Saint Realm Demon Beast is coming—get ready for battle!"

Ziran shot up out of the water. Xiao Ye caught a blurry glimpse of her proud figure through the curtain.

Ziran slipped into her purple skirt, yanked the curtain aside, and said, her expression grave, "I didn’t sense anything at all. Which direction is the Saint Realm Demon Beast coming from?"

"Boom!" A thunderous noise shook everything.

In an instant, ten thousand miles around them became an endless Fire Domain, burning all things to a crisp.

Xiao Ye, Yun Bing, and Ziran were fully protected by Tang Hao, unharmed and fully clothed—not a thread burnt away.
