Staying in the sect, controlling beasts and cultivating immortals

At the same time, Chen Xueqing formed a hand seal, and the Life Gem shone with unprecedented brilliance.

"Forbidden Zone of Life - Binding of Thorns!"

Countless energy thorns, shimmering with emerald light and covered with sharp spikes of law, burst forth from the ground beneath the four hooves of the Primordial Dragon Armor Beast, like giant pythons with life, instantly coiling around its thick limbs and body!

The thorns and spikes contained a powerful force of life-stripping and confinement, frantically draining the life force of the dragon-armored beast and attempting to restrict its movements!

The Primordial Dragon Armor Beast roared furiously, its massive body thrashing violently, snapping countless thorns in two!

But in that instant of hesitation, Wang Cheng's earth-shattering sword strike, carrying the power to annihilate stars, slammed heavily into its neck scales!
clang--! ! ! !

A deafening roar, like a divine hammer striking a heavenly drum, erupted!

A terrifying shockwave exploded out in a ring, rippled the very fabric of space!
"Roar--!"

The Primordial Dragon Armor Beast let out a painful roar!
The thick, dark yellow scales on its neck were actually dented and covered with spiderweb-like cracks by Wang Cheng's attack, which was condensed with the power of the peak of the Overlord Body!
Strands of dark golden blood seeped from the cracks!
Although it failed to inflict serious damage, it was undoubtedly a huge humiliation!
Its scales were actually damaged by a human ant at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm!
The Primordial Dragon Armor Beast was utterly enraged!
The dark golden beast eyes instantly turned blood red, and a violent and ferocious aura swept through the entire space, several times stronger than before!
It suddenly swung its head, its massive dragon horns crackling with earth-yellow lightning that tore through the void, and slammed into Wang Cheng, who was being sent flying backward by the recoil! The speed was far greater than before!
Wang Cheng's old strength had been depleted and new strength had not yet been generated. He was about to be pierced by that terrifying dragon horn!

At this critical moment of life and death—

"Wow—!"

A roc's cry, capable of shattering gold and splitting rocks, and tearing apart the sky, resounded throughout the space!

A golden light suddenly appeared!

A golden figure, moving faster than divine sense could perceive, appeared in front of Wang Cheng as if by teleportation!
It's the Chaos Golden Roc!
Driven by Yu Changsheng's source power at any cost, it finally regained some of its strength briefly!
The Chaos Golden Roc spread its wings, and endless sharp golden chaotic energy transformed into two divine blades that tore through the heavens and earth, slashing at the terrifying dragon horns that were charging towards it!
Clang! Clang!
The sharp sound of metal clashing rang out!
The wing blades of the Chaos Golden Roc collided fiercely with the dragon horns of the Primordial Dragon Armor Beast!

Golden light exploded, and lightning scattered everywhere!
The Chaos Golden Roc let out a mournful cry, tumbling away from the immense force, its golden feathers flying everywhere, clearly indicating that it had suffered serious injuries.

But it bought Yu Changsheng the most crucial moment!
"Now!" Yu Changsheng's eyes blazed with chaotic light. He was waiting for the moment when the Primordial Dragon Armor Beast would launch a full-scale attack and defense in a fit of rage, creating the slightest opening!

He pointed his fingers like a sword, and a gray light condensed at the tip of his finger. It was not a grand and magnificent chaotic light of annihilation, but a chaotic finger force that had been condensed to the extreme and contained a trace of the true meaning of "annihilation" and "origin" - the Chaotic Calamity Finger!
call out--!
The finger strike was silent and swifter than lightning, aimed directly at the gap in the scales on the neck of the Primordial Dragon Armor Beast that had been cracked by Wang Cheng and was now oozing blood!
The Primordial Dragon Armor Beast sensed a deadly threat, and a trace of horror flashed in its dark golden pupils. It tried to turn its head to avoid it, but its body was entangled by the remaining thorns, and the Chaos Golden Roc was desperately interfering with it, so its movements were ultimately a beat too slow!

puff!

The condensed Chaos Tribulation Finger, like a red-hot iron piercing into butter, shot in with unparalleled precision through the cracks in the scales and armor, plunging deep into the flesh and blood of the Primordial Dragon Armor Beast's neck!
"Roar-!!!"

A bloodcurdling scream, sharp and piercing, echoed throughout the entire space!
The massive body of the Primordial Dragon Armor Beast suddenly stiffened. The dark golden flesh at the spot where the Chaos Tribulation Finger had pierced its neck instantly turned gray and disintegrated, and the strange power was still spreading wildly into its body!
The power of chaos annihilates the very essence of all things!
It writhed wildly, the earth cracked, and space trembled, trying to dispel the destructive power that had invaded its body.

However, the "calamity" power contained in the Chaos Calamity Finger is like a maggot clinging to a bone, destroying its vitality and origin!
While you are sick, I will kill you!
"Black Tortoise! ​​Swallow it!"

Despite the double exhaustion of his spirit and source power, Yu Changsheng roared at the Chaos Xuan Turtle in the Origin Pool, which had absorbed a large amount of primordial source power, whose aura had surged to the peak of the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and whose tortoise shell runes had completely transformed into dark gold!

Roar--!
The Chaos Tortoise suddenly raised its head from the pool, its eyes filled with a mixture of chaotic energy and primordial golden light!

It let out an unprecedentedly deep roar, and its entire body suddenly expanded, transforming into the size of a small mountain! The chaotic and primordial runes on the tortoise shell flowed wildly, drawing upon the earth's source power throughout the entire space!
It opened its enormous maw, not to bite, but to form a massive, chaotic vortex that seemed capable of swallowing the heavens and earth! At the center of the vortex was the absolute power of the Void!
Innate Divine Power - Chaos Returns to Nothingness and Devours the Heavens!
The terrifying suction force instantly enveloped the Primordial Dragon Armor Beast, which was struggling in pain and whose strength had been greatly reduced!
This suction force not only targets the physical body, but also directly affects its very essence!

The Primordial Dragon Armor Beast let out a terrified and desperate roar, struggling desperately and drawing upon the power of the earth's veins to resist. However, the destruction caused by the Chaos Calamity Finger on its neck caused its power to dissipate, making it unable to withstand the terrifying devouring force that combined the power of the Chaos Return to Nothingness and the Primordial Earth!
"Do not--!"

Amidst its mournful and unwilling howls, its enormous, mountain-like body was forcibly pulled and shrunk, eventually transforming into a stream of dark yellow light, which was completely swallowed up by the vortex of Guixu formed by the giant maw of the Chaos Tortoise!
Gudong!

The Chaos Tortoise closed its massive jaws, its enormous body suddenly slumping, swaying as if drunk. Light flashed intensely on its shell, countless profound runes flickering in and out of existence, while a surge of violent yet pure primordial power coursed and refined within its body.

Its aura soared upwards like a rocket, instantly breaking through the limit of the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm and touching the threshold of the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, and it is still steadily improving!

The color of the tortoise shell became deeper, and faint dark gold patterns even appeared on the edges, resulting in a qualitative leap in both its defensive and physical strength!
The space fell into a deathly silence.

The only sounds were the slow flow of the primordial pool water and the muffled thunderous refining sounds emanating from within the Chaos Tortoise.

Wang Cheng, leaning on his sword and panting heavily, stared at the spot where the devoured behemoth had vanished, then at the Chaos Xuan Turtle whose aura was surging terrifyingly. He couldn't help but curse, "Holy crap! It swallowed it whole?!"

Chen Xueqing also covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes filled with shock. That was a Primordial Dragon Armor Beast at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage!
Yu Changsheng's tense nerves finally relaxed, a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, but a carefree yet exhausted smile appeared on his face.

This battle was exhilarating! The power gained from the Chaos Rebirth, combined with precise calculations and perfect teamwork, actually allowed them to slay such a powerful enemy despite being of a higher level! The benefits that the Chaos Xuan Turtle gained are immeasurable!
Chen Xueqing's face was still pale, and the luster of the Life Gem was dim. She had almost exhausted her strength by using "Life Forbidden Domain - Thorn Binding" with all her might.

She leaned against a cold, broken piece of metal, gazing at the massive, chaotic Xuan Turtle, its shell runes flowing like molten dark gold. Her eyes were filled with awe and relief. "The Xuan Turtle... it's transforming!"

At this moment, the Chaos Xuan Turtle is in an extremely special state. Having devoured the Primordial Dragon Armor Beast, a peak ferocious beast that controls the laws of earth and metal, it's as if a star containing endless primordial origins has exploded within its body!

Its massive body was like a red-hot iron, its dark yellow light violently intertwining and clashing with the chaotic gray mist, emitting a muffled, thunderous roar.

The ancient chaotic runes on the tortoise shell lit up, reorganized, and imprinted at an unprecedented speed, becoming more complex and profound. The dark gold patterns on the edges spread like living things, exuding a sense of weight that suppressed the eight wastelands and bore the stars and mountains!
Its aura soared like a rocket, already breaking through the limit of the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and fiercely rushed into the peak of the Nascent Soul realm!
And this momentum did not stop; the violent energy continued to surge and refine within its body, attempting to breach the higher barrier.

Each fluctuation of power caused the entire underground space to tremble, the primordial pool to surge, and the luminous crystals embedded in the four walls to flicker.

"It is forcibly refining the essence of the Dragon Armor Beast in an attempt to reach a higher realm."

Yu Changsheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his voice slightly hoarse, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. A series of empty and piercing pains came from the Chaos Spiritual Meridians in his body. It was by no means easy to withstand the Dragon Armor Beast's innate divine power "Xuanhuang Annihilation Light". The Chaos Mark had also dimmed considerably.

But his back remained straight, his gaze burning as he looked past the turbulent waters and locked onto the Xuanhuang Mother Gold Embryo, which floated quietly in the center of the pool, flowing with the Daoist essence of chaos!

The greatest opportunity is right in front of us!
The Primordial Dragon Armor Beast is merely a ferocious beast guarding the treasure; the Chaos Mother Golden Embryo is the true core of this place!

"Old Wang, Xueqing, hurry up and recover!"

Yu Changsheng said in a deep voice, leaving no room for doubt, "The Xuan Turtle's transformation takes time and may bring unforeseen changes. This place is rich in primordial energy and metal elemental essence, making it an excellent place for healing and tempering! After we recover, we will retrieve the treasure!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he sat down cross-legged.

The chaotic mark on his back glowed faintly, like an invisible vortex, and began to actively devour the dense, primordial energy of the place.

Strands of pure, dark yellow energy, mixed with specks of sharp, dark gold, flowed into his body like rivers flowing into the sea.

hum!
The Chaos Spirit Vein greedily absorbed this energy, which was of the same origin but of a higher level.

The minor cracks caused by the previous clash with the dragon-armored beast were quickly healed and strengthened under the influence of the primordial energy, even becoming more resilient and wider, faintly revealing a metallic luster.

The depleted Chaos Source Power, like a torrential rain on a dried-up riverbed, surged and roared, rapidly filling and expanding. Its color seemed to be tinged with the heaviness of the earth and the sharpness of metal, becoming more restrained and profound.

Upon hearing this, Wang Cheng slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "That's right! We can't miss this opportunity!"

Without further hesitation, he plunged headfirst into the edge of the Origin Pool—he dared not venture into the raging energy vortex at the center like the Xuan Turtle.

The viscous, mercury-like pool water instantly enveloped his battered and bruised body.

"Hiss—!" Extreme pain and extreme pleasure struck at the same time!

The invincible golden body was as if it had been thrown into the most domineering furnace in the world. The violent primordial golden energy was like billions of red-hot steel needles, fiercely piercing into every inch of his flesh, bones, and internal organs, frantically tempering, squeezing, and reshaping it!
The primordial bloodline originating from the giant skeletal serpent was fully activated, greedily devouring the power of the same origin.

The cracks on his body surface healed rapidly under the wash of the golden energy, and the newly grown skin and muscles took on a deeper, more restrained bronze-gold color. His bones made popping sounds like popping beans, and their density and strength were soaring.

His mid-stage Nascent Soul realm was completely solidified, and he was steadily advancing towards an even higher level!
Chen Xueqing also sat cross-legged by the pool, holding the Life Gem on her lap with both hands.

She took a deep breath. Although the abundant life force here was masked by the metal element, it was still a great benefit to those who were compatible with the laws of life.

Emerald light flowed from the gemstone, resonating with the life-giving elements in the surrounding primordial energy.

She guided this mixed life force, gently but firmly repairing the overdrawn soul and damaged meridians.

The phantom of the Starry Deer appeared and disappeared behind her, and the halo of the life gem on its antlers became warm and lustrous again as the deer's body recovered, even becoming more solid.

Time slipped by quietly amidst the intense recovery and the Xuan Turtle's frenzied metamorphosis.

I do not know how long it has been.

"Roar--!!!"

A roar, far more powerful and majestic than before, as if from the depths of the earth, suddenly exploded from the mouth of the Chaos Tortoise!
Its massive body suddenly stood up, and the dark golden chaotic runes on the tortoise shell became completely stable, as if they were imprinted with chapters of the Great Dao.

A vast, profound, and indestructible aura of the peak of the Nascent Soul stage swept across the entire space like an ancient divine mountain awakening!
Above its head, the void faintly revealed the phantom of a vast, desolate land, and the suppressive power permeated the air, making even space itself feel stagnant and heavy!

The Chaos Xuan Turtle successfully refined the essence of the Primordial Dragon Armor Beast, completely stabilizing itself at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm! Its defense and power underwent a qualitative leap, and it even faintly gained control over a trace of the suppressive authority over the Primordial Land!

Almost at the same time it completed its transformation, Yu Changsheng suddenly opened his eyes! A chaotic halo flashed in his eyes, deep and unfathomable.

He exhaled a breath of turbid air, his aura becoming more complete and full, even surpassing his state before the battle! The chaotic spiritual veins within his body surged like dragons, his source power overflowing and surging, faintly carrying the sharpness of primordial golden energy and the weight of the earth's source power.

Wang Cheng leaped out of the pool, splashing water droplets.

His muscles were like cast iron, with a restrained dark golden luster. Every move he made contained explosive power. His blood and qi were like a furnace. His domineering body, which was at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, was completely solidified, and he was only a hair's breadth away from the late stage! He clenched his fist tightly, and the air in his palm exploded. He grinned and said, "That was great!"

Chen Xueqing was surrounded by a vibrant green light, her aura was peaceful yet powerful, her soul injuries had been fully healed, and her life gem shone brilliantly, clearly indicating that she had also benefited greatly.

The three exchanged glances, needing no words, and simultaneously looked towards the center of the pool—the Xuanhuang Mother Golden Embryo, which floated quietly, radiating an alluring chaotic Dao aura!

Yu Changsheng took a step forward, and the space beneath his feet seemed to automatically shrink, instantly appearing before the Chaos Mother Golden Embryo. Experiencing it up close allowed him to better appreciate its wondrous nature.

Neither gold nor jade, its warm and smooth surface contains the weight and sharpness of creation. The naturally formed chaotic Dao patterns on its surface are mysterious and unpredictable, and every faint pulsation causes the tides of the entire primordial pool.

"The Primordial Golden Embryo... a wonder of heaven and earth, the foundation of the Primordial Spiritual Treasure!" A burning light flashed in Yu Changsheng's eyes. He stretched out his right hand, the Primordial Chaos Source Power flowing in his palm, and carefully touched the cold embryo.

Just as their fingertips were about to touch—(End of Chapter)
