Chapter 676: Black Crested Gorilla (Part 1)

Kenny Lin sat cross-legged on the spiritual pool.

The spiritual liquid in the pool had long been completely absorbed by Amalia.

Only a faint layer of milky white remained, but the spiritual energy underneath continued to surge up.

Once it reached a certain concentration, it would liquefy into spiritual liquid again.

Now, because Kenny Lin was sitting on it, the spiritual energy didn’t have time to condense into liquid before he absorbed it.

Amalia watched him for a while

After confirming there was no problem, she then shifted her attention to the Black Star Beast’s corpse nearby.

The Black Star Beast’s cultivation had reached the peak of the Golden Core stage.

Its bright golden inner core had been extracted.

It was just one step away from advancing.

However, if it had truly advanced, the human cultivators who are entering the secret realm might not have been able to handle it.

The combat power of demonic beasts at the same level was often higher due to their strong defensive abilities.

If it hadn’t been for Ajit Wan using his small golden sword that was equivalent to an attack from a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, he would have died long ago.

After extracting the inner core, Amalia also removed the other parts of the Black Star Beast, such as claws, teeth, skin, and some internal organs.

These were all materials for refining artifacts and medicine.

Then she burned the corpse with a single flame.

"Huh?"

When Amalia got up, she suddenly noticed a few wisps of spiritual energy that were drifting from the spiritual pool and disappearing into her embrace.

Amalia opened her clothing, which revealed a small creature on her chest.

Wealth who is nestled inside was absorbing those few wisps of spiritual energy from the spiritual pool.

"Could it be that it still needs a large amount of energy to advance?" she wondered.

Previously, Amalia had left a few spirit stones for Wealth, intending them to stave off hunger when it woke up from advancing, as it had absorbed a significant amount of energy beforehand without any other abnormalities.

Thinking of this, Amalia placed Wealth on Kenny Lin’s lap.

The small creature’s body rose and fell with its breaths.

Upon entering the spiritual pool, a large amount of spiritual energy surged upwards, some of it flowing into Wealth.

She guessed correctly; Wealth needed a vast amount of spiritual energy even while in slumber.

Perhaps it hadn’t woken up because the surrounding energy was insufficient, thus prolonging its advancement.

Kenny Lin only fluttered his eyelids lightly when some of the spiritual energy was diverted, but he didn’t open his eyes.

Amalia didn’t dare let the spiritual pool out of her sight.

She initially thought of placing a large stone next to the pool to block outsiders’ view, but considering that their movements were too noticeable if anyone came, they would quickly discover their presence anyway.

So, it seemed unnecessary.

After a while, Amalia checked on their situation and found that most of Kenny Lin’s body had sunk into the spiritual pool.

Underneath the pool was a spiritual vein, which would disappear after being absorbed, leaving an empty shell.

Without spiritual energy rising up, one might mistakenly think the pool had already been taken if they didn’t look closely.

This thought put her somewhat at ease.

However, this sense of ease only lasted for a short while.

The Double Cavern Secret Realm had existed for many years, and the demonic beasts living here knew what this place was.

Previously, it had been occupied by the Black Star Beast, who have enough strength to keep them at bay.

Now that the Black Star Beast was dead, these creatures began to covet the spiritual pool.

Amalia killed each demonic beast that approached her.

The smell of blood permeated the air, attracting even more demonic beasts, and causing the ground to tremble slightly.

Amalia frowned.

If this continued, more and more demonic beasts would come, and she wouldn’t be able to fend them all off alone.

As she was thinking, the ground suddenly shook violently.

The lurking demonic beasts around her, as if encountering their natural enemy, instantly fled.

Even the demonic beast who was preparing to attack Amalia had its fur stand on end, abandoning the spiritual pool behind her and running away swiftly as if chased by a deadly predator.

Amalia was puzzled when a giant shadow was suddenly cast from the sky.

With a loud crash, a demonic beast that was about approximately 10 meters tall jumped down from a height.

When it landed on a large rock, it smashed it to pieces instantly.

It was the Black Crested Gorilla, a demonic beast with cultivation comparable to the Black Star Beast, both of them at the peak of the Golden Core stage.

Its combat power was on par with the Black Star Beast.

Previously, the two demonic beasts had fought fiercely over this spiritual pool, with the Black Star Beast narrowly winning.

Now that the Black Star Beast was dead, the Black Crested Gorilla, which had coveted the spiritual pool for a long time, sensed the absence of the Black Star Beast’s aura and appeared.

The Black Crested Gorilla’s giant size made Amalia seem insignificant in comparison.

Its cold, black eyes swept over Amalia without pausing, as her cultivation level was too low, only at the early Golden Core stage.

It could easily kill her with a flick of its hand.

The one who killed the Black Star Beast was clearly not her.

The Black Crested Gorilla let out an excited roar, with an underlying tone of expulsion.

When the tiger roars, the forest disperses.

The demonic beasts who were still lurking nearby sensed the Black Star Gorilla’s intent to drive them away.

Knowing they couldn’t defeat the Gorilla, they reluctantly retreated while glancing back every few steps.

The Black Crested Gorilla stood up, appearing even taller than it initially seemed, towering over 15 meters.

It pounded its chest with its fists, roaring continuously, causing ripples in the air.
