Chapter 551: Chapter 543: Successfully Breaking Through the Immortal Gate

“`

A single-handed slash and a two-handed swing should surely differ in power.

A two-handed force is greater, and so is the power of the chop, dealing at least double the damage to the giant whale.

Even so, such damage to the massive whale is still only a minor wound.

The demon core of this deep-sea giant demon is as big as a human head, and with a body over a hundred meters long, the waves it raises are like undulating mountains. Its grade is at least above thirteen, and it might even reach fourteen.

Such a formidable demon beast would normally be impossible for Qin Niu to contend with.

But now he had found an opening.

Nearly all strong demon beasts share a common weakness. They may have a formidable defense across their bodies, even evolving carapaces, but their inner bodies cannot be as formidable as the exterior.

This allowed Qin Niu to wreak havoc inside its belly.

The chopping may not be fatal, but it effectively distracted the beast, making it too busy to respond. This created an opportunity for the Diamond Ink Turtle to absorb its demon core.

The Diamond Ink Turtle absorbed the demon core at an increasingly rapid pace, at times making Qin Niu feel somewhat unreal.

He still couldn’t be certain whether the ocean and demon beasts within the Immortal Gate were real or not.

As the Diamond Ink Turtle absorbed a massive amount of energy from the demon core, its body grew rapidly. Its shell displayed minute cracks, which quickly healed, and the process repeated.

In just a moment, the Diamond Ink Turtle effortlessly advanced to Grade Six.

Qin Niu checked its attributes, and after confirming the advancement, he was sure that all of this was real.

At this moment, he was less concerned about breaking through the First Immortal Gate.

He just hoped that before being ejected from the Immortal Gate, the Diamond Ink Turtle could absorb more energy from the giant whale’s demon core. After all, the Diamond Ink Turtle grew too slowly.

For it, this was a once-in-a-millennium chance.

…

As time passed, the Diamond Ink Turtle absorbed the energy from the giant whale’s demon core faster and faster. The demon core, originally as big as a human head, shrank significantly due to its frenzied absorption.

The giant whale’s struggles grew weaker.

The wounds Qin Niu inflicted by slicing its organs, which initially healed rapidly, were now healing more slowly.

Blood continued to seep out.

The Diamond Ink Turtle had grown over two meters in length, becoming a massive turtle. Dark cyan patterns emerged on its shell, forming enigmatic runes, with streaks of electricity flickering continuously across its body.

It was hard to imagine that not long ago, this timid turtle was merely a Grade Five pet.

Now that it had absorbed the energy of the giant whale’s demon core, it had transformed into a Ninth Level beast pet.

The demon core of the giant whale had shrunk to the size of a sea bowl.

The Diamond Ink Turtle directly swallowed it in one gulp.

As the Diamond Ink Turtle swallowed the demon core, the giant whale’s body trembled violently, convulsed, and stiffened.

A white light gateway appeared in front of Qin Niu.

“This… Is this the passage out of the Immortal Gate?”

Qin Niu could hardly believe his eyes.

Surprises often come so unexpectedly.

He had already lost hope of breaking through the First Immortal Gate.

From the tales of those who had failed to break through the First Immortal Gate, he had realized that most challengers had different experiences within the Immortal Gate, leaving no trace to follow.

Everyone has their path, and trying to find the way through that others have succeeded by might end up being a fruitless pursuit.

The First Immortal Gate posed ‘questions’ according to each person’s situation.
