Staying in the sect, controlling beasts and cultivating immortals

When it tried to devour a piece of bone the size of a fingernail that emitted a faint golden light and resembled some kind of powerful divine beast, the remaining will of that bone suddenly erupted into a ferocious beastly roar!

Although extremely faint, it still made the cub stiffen, and several faint golden lines appeared on its gray body, as if it were engaged in a fierce struggle.

Finally, the chaotic gray light intensified, completely engulfing and devouring the golden patterns.

The cub shook its little head, seemingly a little tired, but the light in its eyes became even more lively and sharp.

Its aura was slowly but steadily increasing at a rate visible to the naked eye!

Her size also seems to have increased slightly!
It acts like a highly efficient cleaner, guarding its master while tirelessly cleaning out harmful energy impurities from the cave that were detrimental to Yu Changsheng and Wang Cheng, all while strengthening itself.

It became the first "purification" barrier for Yu Changsheng to absorb external energy.

Time slowly passed in the deathly silence of the ancient ruins of the burial site.

Yu Changsheng was immersed in cultivation, a process intertwined with pain and rebirth. Chaotic Origin Power accumulated bit by bit, repairing his riddled body.

While Wang Cheng was unconscious, the gentle aura unintentionally released by the Chaos Source Beast cub slightly nourished his injuries, halting their deterioration.

Chen Xueqing was asleep, the runes on her chest slowly absorbing the barely perceptible free energy in the air, maintaining a fragile balance.

The Chaos Origin Beast cub's diligent devouring not only allowed it to grow but also slowly improved the energy environment within the massive skeletal cave, with a significant decrease in the concentration of death energy and malevolent intent.

However, this brief calm was destined to be just the calm before the storm.

The ancient ruins where gods were buried were by no means a good place.

In the depths of that leaden sky, a huge shadow seemed to be moving slowly, like a prehistoric beast surveying its territory.

From the distant, twisted black mountains, faint, chilling, inhuman, and beastly howls could be heard.

The ancient malevolent energy lingering in the air seemed to become more active with the passage of time, like a lurking venomous snake.

Yu Changsheng opened his chaotic gray eyes. Although he was still weak, the resilience and coldness deep in his eyes, tempered by life and death, were as pure as steel that had been tempered.

He looked at the scorched wasteland outside the cave entrance, where gods and demons were buried, then at the Chaos Origin Beast cub that was gnawing on a piece of black ore containing pure baleful energy, making a soft "crackling" sound, and then at his unconscious companion beside him.

strength!

He needs more power!
Not only must they repair themselves, but they must also control this newly generated chaotic energy to elevate their realm!
We must help this Chaos Origin Beast with unlimited potential grow up as quickly as possible!

We also need to find a way to completely cure Chen Xueqing!
This desolate land known as the "Ancient Ruins of the Burial of Gods" is both a boundless graveyard and a treasure trove containing endless power and ancient secrets.

"In the initial refinement of chaos, the source of power is born. When the young beast cries for the first time, the path of cultivation begins."

Yu Changsheng whispered, his voice echoing in the empty cave of bones, carrying a hint of determination.

He gently stroked the warm fur of the cub on his chest, his gaze drifting to the deeper darkness of the cave, and at the end of that darkness, a massive skeletal crevice that seemed to lead to an even deeper part of this ancient ruin.

This place is called "Ancient Ruins of the Burial of Gods," where countless ancient gods and demons are buried.

Even if a being has perished for millennia, the essence of a god or demon remains extraordinary. Perhaps... a relic here exists that can repair the soul and nourish life?

"We must...explore..."

An idea took firm shape in Yu Changsheng's mind.

Huddled here, one can only die a slow death.

Only by taking the initiative and utilizing the "treasures" of this ancient ruin can we fight for a glimmer of hope!
He struggled to sit up, his bones groaning under the strain.

The Chaos Origin Beast cub immediately sensed this, stopped gnawing on a new bone fragment, nimbly leaped onto his shoulder, rubbed its little head against his neck, and let out a dependent whimper.

“Skip the way for me…” Yu Changsheng communicated with his mind.

The cub tilted its head, and its strange eyes suddenly lit up with a faint light.

It seems to have an innate sensitivity to the flow of energy.

It sniffed hard with its little nose, and after a moment, it pointed with its little paws in a direction deep in the cave—there, a huge skeleton extended inward, forming a deep crevice covered with jagged bone spurs, and a heavier death aura and an indescribable energy fluctuation that seemed to have been accumulated over countless ages came from the depths.

Yu Changsheng took a deep breath, suppressing the churning blood and the emptiness in his soul.

He carefully placed Chen Xueqing in a relatively flat area at the innermost part of the cave, and then moved the unconscious Wang Cheng to the side.

The Chaos Mark glowed faintly as he mobilized the negligible wisp of Chaos Source Power he had just recovered, mixing it with the Netherworld aura remaining from the Altar of Soul Sinking Valley, and barely managed to create a thin, almost transparent gray light shield around the two of them.

This light shield is extremely fragile and can only serve a very limited purpose of concealing auras and providing a warning.

"Wait for me to come back," he whispered to the sleeping face, his voice hoarse.

Then, he took heavy steps, following behind the staggering but purposeful Chaos Origin Beast cub, and stepped into the darkness of the skeletal crevice.

The crevice is narrow and winding, with massive ribs resembling natural arches, covered with ancient scars as if carved by knives and axes.

The air was thick with the smell of sulfur and a rusty, bloody odor. Underfoot was a thick layer of bone meal, accumulated over countless millennia, soft and silent.

The deeper one goes, the dimmer the light becomes, with only the occasional gray glint on the cub's body and the purple star in its right eye acting as two faint guiding lights.

"Woo...!" The cub suddenly stopped and let out a wary growl at the seemingly ordinary bone wall in front of it, with several sword-like feathers on its back standing up.

Yu Changsheng's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately stopped. The Chaos Mark quietly activated, and gray mist appeared and disappeared on his body. He focused his senses and found nothing unusual about the bone wall in front of him, but from the space behind the bone wall, there seemed to be an extremely weak energy resonance—a cold, resentful fragment of will filled with endless despair, slowly awakening like a slumbering venomous snake being disturbed!

It is the powerful resentment left over from the ancient battlefield, clinging to the bones, and over the years, it has almost formed a kind of evil spirit!

"Retreat!" Yu Changsheng's mind raced.

However, the cubs reacted even faster!
Instead of retreating, it let out a roar as fierce as a newborn calf and lunged forward with its small body!
"Roar--!"

A twisted ghostly figure, formed entirely from viscous resentment and battlefield aura, suddenly burst forth from the bone wall! It had no fixed form, only countless blurry faces screaming in pain rolling in the mist, and the mental impact it emitted was enough to drive a Foundation Establishment cultivator insane instantly!

The darkness in the cub's left eye suddenly deepened!
An invisible suction force erupted!

The incoming evil spirit mist was as if it had encountered a black hole, and was forcibly pulled and twisted, rushing towards the cub's open mouth!
Devour!

It is actively devouring this evil spirit!
However, the resentment accumulated by this evil spirit over countless ages far exceeded the cub's expectations!
Although most of the energy was forcibly pulled into the cub's mouth, the most core wisp of extremely condensed, cursed black will, like a poisoned dagger, suddenly broke free from the devouring power and fiercely stabbed into the cub's fragile soul!

"Buzz!"

At this critical moment, Yu Changsheng was alive!
He didn't use any magic; he simply took a step forward, and the chaotic mark on his back suddenly shone with a bright gray light!
Instead of attacking, he unleashed his chaotic, mixed, and primordial aura, filled with destruction and new life, like a turbid wave that instantly submerged the wisp of black curse intent along with the remaining evil spirits!
That wisp of malevolent curse crashed into the chaotic grayness, like a clay ox sinking into the sea. The essence of chaos is "nothingness," encompassing everything and dissolving everything.

Faced with a higher level of power, the power of the curse instantly lost its clear direction, was shattered and assimilated by the chaotic conflicting energy, and finally turned into a pure but cold energy stream, which was absorbed by Yu Changsheng's chaotic mark and became new fuel for refining the chaotic source power.

"Pfft!" Yu Changsheng groaned, and grayish-black blood trickled from the corner of his mouth again.

Forcibly activating the mark to release its aura placed further pressure on his already shattered body. However, a glimmer of chaotic gray light appeared in his eyes! He could sense that after absorbing this "purified" evil spirit energy, the speed at which the mark on his back refined the chaotic source power seemed to have accelerated slightly!
The cub let out a satisfied burp, and its body shape seemed to solidify a little more, with the purple star in its right eye shining even brighter.

It seemed completely unaware of the danger it had just faced, and instead excitedly scratched at the ground behind the bone wall with its little paws, making urging "woof woof" sounds.

Behind the bone walls was a smaller chamber, seemingly part of the ancient beast's thoracic cavity. In the center of the chamber, bones were piled up into a small hill.

And at the top of that pile of bones, something was sticking out at an angle!
It wasn't a complete skeleton or weapon fragment, but rather a branch about the length of a forearm, with a warm, jade-like emerald green color... or perhaps the root of some kind of plant-like deity?
It had long since lost its vitality, yet it had not decayed. Its surface was covered with naturally formed, ancient runes that flickered like breath, radiating a pure and vibrant life force that had endured countless ages!
This aura was completely out of place with the intense deathly aura and malevolent intent surrounding it, yet it miraculously coexisted with it, forming a strange balance.

"Remnants of the laws of life...?"

Yu Changsheng's heart trembled violently!
This is absolutely the best supplement to heal Chen Xueqing's injuries!
The runes left by the Rainbow Deer were the catalyst, the manifestation of its protective will, while the remains themselves contained real, almost primordial, life-law power!

The Chaos Origin Beast cub was so excited that it jumped up and down. The pair of withered and dull antlers on its head trembled slightly when it sensed this life force, emitting an extremely faint desire.

However, the moment of ecstasy was replaced by vigilance.

How could such a divine object be without protection? That malevolent spirit just now was probably just a "watchdog" on the outside!
Yu Changsheng's gray pupils were as sharp as an eagle's, and the Chaos Mark was operating at full power, boosting his perception to its limit.

He found it!

Beneath those verdant roots, in the pile of bones, were not only scattered remains.

Eight deep purple, smooth bone fragments, resembling metal, were silently embedded in the ground in a mysterious arrangement, forming a hidden sealing array!

The core of the magic array is that section of emerald green root!

A restrained yet chillingly sharp aura, like a sleeping peerless weapon, was sealed within a magic array, guarding that section of root.

Yu Changsheng had no doubt that if anyone rashly touched the roots, it would surely invite a terrifying attack.

"The protective magic array...originates from the sharp will of battle and warfare..."

Yu Changsheng frowned.

Forcing his way through the formation, given his current state, would be tantamount to suicide.

His gaze swept over the little beast on his shoulder. The cub was tilting its head, curiously watching the almost invisible purple light traces flowing on the magic circle.

"Little guy, can you swallow that thing?"

Yu Changsheng directed his thoughts toward the sharp energy flowing through the core of the magic array.

The cub seemed hesitant, instinctively sensing a threat from the purple light.

But the powerful life force emanating from its roots held a fatal attraction for it. It licked its lips with its pink tongue, seemingly weighing its options.

Ultimately, the desire for "food" outweighed the instinctive wariness.

It let out a low growl, jumped off Yu Changsheng's shoulder, and cautiously approached the pile of bones.

Instead of lunging directly at the roots, it stopped a few feet from the edge of the magic circle and opened its small mouth.

This time, it didn't devour physical objects, but rather targeted the invisible, flowing array energy!

A peculiar suction force, imbued with a chaotic "assimilation" quality, emanated from its mouth, gently brushing against the deep purple bone fragments like ripples on water.

hum!
The magic circle was instantly activated! A blinding purple light suddenly erupted, and a purple light blade, condensed as if it were a tangible substance, with an aura as sharp as if it could sever a soul, materialized out of thin air and slashed toward the cub's head with lightning speed!
The cub was so frightened that its scales bristled, and it let out a sharp, mournful cry, instinctively rolling backward! But the light blade was too fast!
In that life-or-death moment, Yu Changsheng was already poised to strike!
Instead of trying to block the light blade that was powerful enough to shatter the spiritual treasure, he gathered all the chaotic source power that had just been restored in his body, mixed it with the mixed energy brought by the return of all beasts to one, and transformed it into a turbid gray torrent. Instead of attacking the light blade, he slammed it hard into a piece of bone that looked like an auxiliary piece and was slightly lighter in color at the edge of the magic array!

Attack where they must defend! Use the tactic of besieging Wei to rescue Zhao!
This array is a seamless whole; if you attack one spot, the power will be dispersed! This was the only flaw he discovered when he was observing the flow of the array patterns!

boom!
The gray torrent collided with the bone fragments! The bone fragments were instantly covered in cracks, and the light of the entire magic circle suddenly became chaotic! The purple light blade that was slashing towards the cub also paused slightly, and its light dimmed by three-tenths!
It’s this stagnation!
With the instinct of a Chaos Beast to face danger, the cub twisted its body at an incredible angle in the air, narrowly grazing the edge of the light blade!
The sharp aftershock swept across its hind leg, instantly turning several fine gray scales into ashes, leaving a shallow bloodstain!
"Ouch!" The cub cried out in pain as it landed, its hind legs limping slightly, but its little eyes became even more ferocious.

The blade of light, having missed its target, struck the bone wall on the side with undiminished force, leaving a deep, smooth, mirror-like slash mark! (End of Chapter)
