"At such a close distance to the sea, there are third-level monsters."

"No wonder they say the Endless Sea in the southwest of Yunzhou is a hundred times more dangerous than the East China Sea."

Cao Rui looked around and saw almost no other Foundation Establishment cultivators.

In the southwest of Yunzhou, most of the foundation-building cultivators would choose to attack and kill the second-level monsters that came ashore, and few foundation-building cultivators dared to directly enter the Endless Sea.

Cao Rui’s spiritual sense locked onto the third-order sea monster below.

This is a mixed-blood sea dragon, dark blue all over. It is rising and falling on the sea, hunting low-level monsters along the coast.

It also discovered Cao Rui at this time, but it also regarded Cao Rui as its prey, staring at Cao Rui with its eyes from time to time.

"Let me test you to see if my magic sword is sharp."

Cao Rui controlled the golden sword and shot it directly at the dragon.

Swoosh! The golden sword turned into a dazzling golden light and rushed towards the sea dragon at a terrifying speed like lightning.

The sea dragon was obviously also shocked by the speed of Cao Rui's magic sword.

In a hurry, it opened its bloody mouth, let out a deafening roar, and white mist gushed out of its mouth.

The white mist wrapped around the golden sword like a living thing and quickly condensed into huge blue icicles.

It turns out that this sea dragon is actually an extremely rare ice-attributed monster.

The golden sword glowed faintly within the icicle, as if it was trapped in an icy cage.

Cao Rui did not panic. He concentrated all his magic power and waved his hand vigorously.

Buzz! With a low roar, the icicle shattered in an instant, and the golden sword finally regained its freedom, continuing to slash at the sea dragon with great momentum.

Upon seeing this, the sea dragon flashed and suddenly dived into the vast ocean.

The next moment, vast white fog continued to seep out from the sea, and large areas of sea water were frozen into thick layers of ice in the blink of an eye.

But how could a mere layer of ice block the path of the golden sword? Under Cao Rui's exquisite control, the golden sword flexibly shuttled through the ice layer and closely followed the figure of the sea dragon.

However, due to the obstruction of the ice layer, the speed of the golden sword slowed down significantly and it could no longer catch up with the agile third-level sea dragon.

Cao Rui saw this and immediately patted the storage bag on his waist, and saw the other four magic swords fly out at the same time. It was much more difficult to control five second-level magic weapons at the same time than Yang Shize's control of a third-level magic weapon.

Fortunately, Cao Rui has already cultivated the Great Five Elements Sword Formation to perfection, and has a unique advantage in controlling the five-attribute magic swords.

He made sword gestures with his hands, and four magic swords shot out in four directions, surrounding the sea dragon.

Under the siege of five magic swords, the sea dragon soon revealed its flaws.

At this moment, Cao Rui controlled the golden sword and found a perfect opportunity to cut the sea dragon's torso.

The golden sword was so sharp that it actually successfully broke through its scales and penetrated deeply into its body.

Before the sea dragon got close, Cao Rui successfully injured it with just five magic swords.

The sea dragon finally realized how powerful Cao Rui was, and cleverly turned around and prepared to escape.

However, Cao Rui had already anticipated that it would react in this way, and his Cone Thorn magical power was already ready to be used!

While the sea dragon was panicking and trying to escape, Cao Rui launched a divine spike without hesitation.

The Cone God Thorn was like an invisible lightning, directly hitting the sea dragon fleeing in the sea.

The sea dragon's consciousness was obviously not as strong as that of the third-level deep-sea black turtle. After being hit by Cao Rui's divine cone, it became visibly sluggish, and its speed in the sea also dropped significantly.

"Five swords become one!" With a loud shout, Cao Rui quickly made sword gestures with both hands, and saw five rays of light quickly gathered together, which were the five second-level magic swords.

They quickly merged together in the sea water, forming a huge sword, flashing dazzling light.

The sword light rushed towards the sea dragon like lightning.

After all, the sea dragon is a third-level monster. At this moment, the sea dragon has recovered from its previous state of unconsciousness.

But faced with such a rapid attack, it was too late to make any effective defense or evasive action.

The sword light was like a meteor, instantly piercing through the sea dragon's head, leaving a streak of scarlet blood.

The sea dragon opened its eyes wide, as if it couldn't believe that it was killed like this.

Its huge body lost its vitality and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.

Upon seeing this, Cao Rui immediately dived to the bottom of the sea and controlled the magic sword to dig out the sea dragon's demon pill.

He carefully placed the demon pill into a jade box, and then put the sea dragon's body into a storage bag.

The flesh and blood of this sea dragon should be able to fetch a good price.

"The second-level magic weapon is indeed much more powerful!" Cao Rui secretly sighed in his heart.

This battle made him deeply aware of the gap between second-level magic weapons and first-level magic weapons.

With the support of the second-level magic weapon, he can easily deal with third-level monsters, and it can even be said to be effortless.

The combat capability has made a qualitative leap compared to before.

With this sea dragon as a backup, Cao Rui's confidence doubled.

Cao Rui flew out of the sea, took out a bottle of purple spirit pills and swallowed a few of them to restore his consumed mana.

Afterwards, he drove his body and flew deeper into the Endless Sea, continuing his journey of hunting monsters.

......

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

The territory of the third-level monster is very vast, and it takes a lot of time to find and explore.

During this month, Cao Rui has been hunting monsters in the Endless Sea, but most of his time is spent on traveling and looking for monsters.

However, relying on the powerful force of the Cone God Thorn and the Great Five Elements Sword Formation, Cao Rui showed absolute advantage in the battle with the third-level monster.

Whenever he found the traces of third-level monsters, these monsters had almost no chance of escape and would eventually be ruthlessly killed by the sword light.

In the past month, Cao Rui has successfully killed five third-level sea monsters, including the ferocious sea dragon he encountered at the beginning.

On this day, Cao Rui looked at the five third-level demon pills in his storage bag, and prepared to temporarily refine the five demon pills for use before continuing to hunt demon beasts.

Cao Rui found a small island and opened a cave on it. After a little concealment, he took out the alchemy furnace and began to refine the Demon Spirit Pill.

The medicinal materials needed to refine the second-level demon spirit pill from the third-level demon pill are very valuable. Its main function is to eliminate demonic power and condense spiritual power.

One portion of auxiliary material is worth five hundred spirit stones.

Before Cao Rui set out from the market, he purchased twenty sets of auxiliary materials, spending a total of spirit stones.

Cao Rui patted his storage bag, took out the third-level alchemy furnace, lit the fire with ease, and put in the auxiliary ingredients for the Demon Spirit Pill.

The aroma of medicine gradually began to emanate from the cave...

Ten days later.

Inside the cave, Cao Rui put away the third-level alchemy furnace.

In front of him, five successfully refined demon spirit pills were floating.

"Then let's see if we can break through to the fifth level of foundation building."

Cao Rui took out a demon spirit pill and swallowed it.
