Chapter 56. The cunning beast is an auspicious creature...
On Moon Wolf Mountain, the Wolf King slowly opened his wolf eyes, a thoughtful look flashing across his face.
The giant, round, black wolf, its expression serious, asked, "Wolf King, what was the result of the test by that Qingqiu totem?"
Wolf King shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be Su."
"This nine-tailed white fox is currently preparing to try to overcome the typhoon. He probably doesn't have the energy or the inclination to scheme and plot."
The slender, moon-white giant wolf showed surprise.
His tone was filled with disbelief: "This Qingqiu totem hasn't even reigned for 150,000 years, has it?!"
"How could his speed of comprehending the principles of heaven and earth, and his speed of cultivating the Way of heaven and earth, be so fast?"
From the moment he began his cultivation journey until now, he has undergone four transformations, which has taken him two hundred thousand years.
This speed of advancement ranks among the top three in the historical records of Moon Wolf Mountain. His cultivation speed surpasses that of others, and currently, only Wolf King remains alive!
Within Qingqiu, there is not a single fox that has undergone a fifth metamorphosis, nor are there any so-called cultivation guides.
Now, with Su, this fox from Qingqiu, not only has he unleashed a cultivation speed far exceeding his own, but he has also gained some insight into the fifth transformation?!
That's absolutely unbelievable!
Wolf King glanced in the direction of Qingqiu, a smile playing on his lips.
He said, "I destroyed the materials he had prepared for the disaster relief over tens of thousands of years. Now, if he wants to prepare them again, it will take him at least another five thousand years."
"Even if he successfully overcomes the calamity of the Bifeng five thousand years later, he will need to recuperate for at least five thousand years before he can completely stabilize his cultivation level."
"Within ten thousand years, Su will not pose any threat to us."
Furthermore, so what if Su has completed his fifth transformation?
If he, the Wolf King of Moon Wolf Mountain, can obtain that unknown cultivation resource in this secret realm, there is at least a 50% chance that his understanding of the laws of heaven and earth will undergo a transformation, thereby boosting his cultivation level, which has not increased by a single point over the long years, and there is a 10% chance that he will experience a leap in his cultivation realm and undergo his sixth transformation.
Once he has undergone his sixth transformation, he will stand atop the Nanshan mountain range, holding a position equal to that of the Phoenix who frequently hosts the Sweet Spring Banquet.
Wolf King looked at the moonlit sky not far from Moon Wolf Mountain, then slowly looked at the slender, moon-white giant wolf.
He asked, "Now that we've eliminated the most unpredictable variables, we should be able to pinpoint the puppy's location, right?"
The giant white wolf shook its head and explained, "It still doesn't work. Obtaining information from this puppy is extremely difficult, exceeding my capabilities."
"Secondly, I strongly suspect that he possesses the authority of heaven and earth, which was not bestowed by a totem. The strong scent of incense on his body makes me suspect that he himself is a totem of some divine realm."
"Some totems that are favored by heaven and earth will make it even more difficult to obtain their information. Even after advancing to a higher realm, one can only see a vague and unclear answer when looking at them again."
Wolf King was taken aback.
Is that little dog a totem god?
There are totem gods who swagger out of their own divine realm?
If he is truly a totem god, wouldn't he be unafraid that during his absence, ferocious beasts, calamity beasts, and evil beasts would invade his divine realm and destroy the foundation of his divine realm and faith?
The wolf king thought about it again and his face turned horrified.
If that little dog is indeed a totem and has left the divine realm, it means that the little dog may not be afraid of its own divine realm at all, and that problems may arise during its absence.
Either he is not simple at all, or he is fearless because he is confident in his abilities.
Wolf King felt his head throbbing.
Fifteen minutes later, the three giant wolves, still unable to reach a conclusion, all looked at the small hill surrounded by layers of pixelated moonlight, the natural gateway to the secret realm.
"Boom..."
'
One dull thud after another erupted, and a blurry image of the continent collapsed from illusion to reality, continuously falling towards the small hill.
In an instant, the natural rifts leading to the secret realm collapsed on a large scale, and countless five-colored lightning bolts appeared in mid-air, splitting the entire hill into a flat plain, shocking all the beasts that were besieging the pixelated moon curtain.
"Why did the passage to the secret realm collapse? This is completely different from any secret realm in the mortal world I've ever been to!"
"Did some creature within the secret realm do something, or obtain the core item of the secret realm, thereby indirectly gaining control of the entire secret realm?"
"Or did this secret realm nurture an incredible opportunity, which, once taken away, rendered it unable to sustain its existence and began to collapse outwards?"
One guess after another came from the mouths of those beasts, making their expressions greedy and their eyes bloodshot.
Regardless of the speculation, any confirmation would be the greatest encouragement for them.
If they could obtain the resources within, they would be confident of reaching the pinnacle of their current realm, thereby occupying a sacred mountain and proving themselves to be totem gods.
As for the moon curtain that prevents living beings from entering and leaving the secret realm?
With the fall of that continent, this thing will soon cease to exist.
About six breaths later, a loud bang was heard, and the huge landmass shattered the pixelated moon, merging the countless falling pixel blocks into itself.
A terrifying shockwave swept across all directions, altering the celestial phenomena within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles and triggering a massive, violent, outward-rushing tide of beasts.
Before the beasts outside the secret realm could show any joy or begin to harvest the creatures that emerged from the secret realm, a small dark golden ape soared into the sky and unleashed a five-elemental spiritual energy that shimmered with a faint gray light.
"I want a battlefield that can support the battles of all living beings within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles."
"The winner takes all, the loser loses everything!"
As soon as the words fell, the secret realm that had collapsed into the Mountain and Sea Realm suddenly scattered into fragments of space, manifesting an immense formation that, embodying all the laws of heaven and earth, began to rearrange and recombine.
Under Xiong Zhou's subtle gaze, countless spatial fragments gradually transformed into cubes, piling up to form a battlefield imbued with heavy bloodshed and ominousness, stretching across the high sky.
The Yin Fire descended, erupting beneath the dark golden ape, its flames engulfing its entire body.
None of the living beings present dared to approach, all tacitly maintaining a suitable distance, quietly waiting for the destruction brought down by heaven and earth to end.
Time flows slowly, and day after day passes.
As soon as the yin flames burning on the dark gold ape's body were extinguished, the gazes of the many creatures present suddenly sharpened, revealing immense greed and longing.
The little golden ape showed no panic whatsoever; its eyes remained perfectly calm, as if it had anticipated this scene.
With a hoarse voice, he growled in a low voice, "I... won."
"I have triumphed over the Yin Fire!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the entire battlefield, heavy with the stench of blood and an ominous atmosphere, responded.
Strands of yin fire gathered from all directions, coalescing into a nascent form of authority filled with intense calamity.
[Authority: Yin Fire Level: Refining Spirit Level 5 Progress: Lv.5 (0/??)]
Status: Embryo stage. Note: This is a calamity-related authority; extreme caution is required.
An information panel unfolded before Xiong Zhou's eyes, making his expression even more subtle.
"Clatter..."
'
Without saying a word, the dark gold ape directly grabbed the nascent authority that was floating in front of it and swallowed it whole.
"Splash..."
'
The fire elemental mixed with gray calamity energy frantically converged towards him, transforming into a baptism of heaven and earth, twisting and mutating the bloodline in his body.
A series of piercing roars emanated from the dark golden ape, echoing in its consciousness and penetrating its mind, causing the faces of the beasts whose essence was equivalent to the fourth level of Qi Refining to show a hint of surprise.
The screams were so painful that just hearing them made my consciousness tremble and I experienced a stress response.
But soon, the dark golden ape's mournful cries weakened, and its form underwent a tremendous change. Its fur turned crimson, and its blood and bones were imbued with an ominous and calamistic aura, causing the other beasts to retreat several steps, filled with dread.
"This is the bloodline of Zhu Yan."
"Legend has it that the appearance of this ferocious beast will cause great chaos and war, and is a very bad omen."
A black deer, its body entwined with green vines, spoke with a solemn expression, explaining the origin of the bloodline manifested on the little ape.
"Ha, will this lead to chaos and war?"
"This Nanshan mountain range, apart from the legendary territory ruled by the Phoenix, isn't it plagued by unrest every day?"
A large porpoise chuckled softly, completely ignoring the black deer's words.
"Indeed, so what if they are ferocious beasts? We too have their bloodlines. We are all ferocious beasts, we are all calamities."
"Since they are both ferocious beasts, who is stronger? In the end, we'll have to fight to the death to decide, won't we?"
A strange beast with the bloodline of the Zhen clan extended its scarlet tongue, licked its lips, and looked at the Zhu Yan on the battlefield, its gaze filled with undisguised greed and savagery.
"Come, the winner takes all, the loser takes nothing."
On this battlefield filled with ominousness and calamity, Zhu Yan's gaze was so calm, like a lake without a ripple, deep and dark.
"Oh."
Without hesitation, this strange beast with the bloodline of the Zhen directly stepped onto this battlefield filled with ominousness and calamity. Its whole body was surrounded by silver light and covered with Dao patterns. Like a meteor falling from the starry sky, it charged towards Zhu Yan.
A faint, dim light reflected in Zhu Yan's pupils as he raised his seemingly tiny fist and swung it at the strange beast that was about to collide with him.
"Bang!"
Blood splattered everywhere, and broken bones splintered from the crown of the head, lying flat in the air. A shapeless, mangled corpse slowly lay down.
Zhu Yan won. With just one punch, he completely shattered the beast with the ferocious bloodline into a mangled corpse, intimidating a large group of beasts that had gathered there.
"Such powerful strength! Is this the bloodline ability of the Zhu Yan?"
"Did he awaken this supernatural power incidentally while receiving that nascent authority imbued with calamity?"
"Bloodline supernatural power, this can already be considered a half-way innate supernatural power. It is a legacy left by the source of bloodline. Legend has it that it came from the time when the four elements of heaven and earth were not in balance, heaven and earth were unstable, and yin and yang were reversed, and it was left by those ancient ferocious beasts."
"If this bloodline supernatural power is bestowed upon the eyes, one will be able to see through certain laws of heaven and earth and discern the weaknesses of one's opponent."
One after another, the beasts carrying inherited memories began to speak, revealing most of the details about Zhu Yan.
Zhu Yan snorted coldly at the numerous beasts below the battlefield and reached out to beckon the flesh and blood of the strange beasts in front of him.
"I have defeated this monstrous beast with the blood of the ferocious beast."
Zhu Yan's voice rose once again on this battlefield filled with ominousness and calamity.
In an instant, streaks of bloody light rose from the flesh and blood of the strange beast, extracting a portion of pure blood and precious blood, which floated in mid-air. Some remaining bits of flesh and blood seeped into the battlefield, making the ominous and calamistic aura even stronger.
Zhu Yan raised his hand and swallowed the cultivation resources extracted from the corpse of the same realm. His blood energy began to rise visibly, and his cultivation level slowly and steadily improved.
"This is to transform the spirit, flesh, bones, understanding of the law, and cultivation of the defeated into nourishment to achieve self-sufficiency."
On Moon Wolf Mountain, the Wolf King, his eyes filled with shock, murmured softly.
He could see what had happened, but it was precisely because he saw some of the processes that he felt even more shocked and incredulous at the existence of this battlefield.
Extracting all the principles and nutrients from the remains and condensing them into resources is something that can only be done after comprehending the principles of law and understanding the way of heaven and earth, reaching the level of law evolution.
Even he, the Wolf King, within Moon Wolf Mountain, with the blessing of the divine realm, could temporarily elevate his application of the principles of law at the stage of practicing the Dao, that is, the power he could unleash, to the stage of evolving the law. However, due to the overly primitive application and reliance on instinct, the efficiency of this extraction was far less than one-tenth of that on this battlefield.
In other words, if he does such a thing, more than 90% of the laws, blood, and spirituality left in the corpse will be lost, and the utilization rate will be extremely low.
"This is the unknown entity within the secret realm that is blocking the power of my Moon Reflection Authority..."
'
"Indeed, an extraordinary opportunity and stroke of luck!"
The wolf king's gaze was almost entirely consumed by greed.
If he obtains this battlefield, he will be more than 90% certain that he will undergo his sixth transformation within ten thousand years, achieving parity with the Phoenix Emperor in terms of cultivation and realm.
Xiong Zhou stood aside, silently resonating with the Mountain and Sea Realm, reducing his own presence to a terrifying level.
He slowly approached the battlefield, which was filled with ominousness and calamity, feeling its affinity towards him, his expression incredibly complex.
Having the opportunity to receive something, especially one that comes knocking on your door, is undoubtedly a good thing.
but..
"Is something wrong?"
"Why do my senses and sudden impulses keep reminding me that this bloody thing, filled with ominousness and calamity, is connected to me?"
"I remember that this avatar of mine from the Mountain and Sea Realm is an auspicious beast that brings abundance, and unlike my original self, it can already be considered a pure-blooded beast..."
'
"Jiao is an auspicious beast..."
