Taoist Master Xuanhuang

Billions of roars of dying, rage, bloodlust, and despair exploded at the same moment, converging into a reverberant tidal wave powerful enough to shatter the eardrums of gods and demons.

Countless terrifying figures, carrying the most primal killing intent, crashed, tore, and entangled together.

Like a storm of flesh and blood, the Ice Soul Armored Dragon was besieged by several Hellfire Ancient Lizards. Lava claws tore through the Xuanbing Heavy Armor, and blue blood mixed with magma poured out like a waterfall.

A beam of blazing white lightning struck down, instantly turning the three heads of the Nine-Headed Shadow Serpent Demon into charcoal. The remaining serpent heads retaliated even more frantically, their fangs deeply embedded in the chest of the Thunderwing Sky-Splitting Eagle.

The shadow beasts devoured each other in the corner, turning into fragments of black shadows that vanished into thin air.

Those who have the advantage will not miss any opportunity to benefit.

The Steel-Maned Beast bit through the spine of the Corruption-Infested Cloud Scorpion, ignoring the deadly poison, and swallowed it whole, the sound of bones grinding together emanating from its mouth.

The Ten Thousand Bones War Hound tore apart a mountain of rotting flesh from a ground beast. The decaying flesh and entrails splattered onto the rocks like a mudslide, only to be instantly frozen into strangely colored solids by the shooting poisonous fire or ice.

The foul-smelling sludge of flesh and blood had submerged the ankles of most of the giant beasts on the battlefield.

The battle triggered the annihilation of spiritual energy.

The frozen lava instantly exploded into millions of sharp ice crystals.

The lightning struck, causing the remaining rune array to trigger a geomagnetic storm, forming a massive vortex, much like a magnetic lightning vortex.

The collision of highly toxic miasma and spiritual allure gave rise to writhing, hissing purplish-green energy pustules, resembling eerie pustules.

The terrain on the battlefield changes every second.

The power of origin is beginning to boil!
The blood of all beasts soaked the earth, flowing wildly and converging along the rock runes, forming a boiling, blazing sea of ​​crimson-gold blood deep underground.

An ancient and powerful pressure began to rise from the depths of the blood pool. Countless tiny yet crystal clear primordial law runes rose from the surface of the blood sea, converging into streams of crimson-gold beast king heat, like blazing chains or greedy tentacles, sweeping across the battlefield!

Once a ferocious beast is severely injured and on the verge of death in a battle, or has devoured a large amount of flesh and blood, the beast king's heat will instantly sense it and forcefully pierce into its body!

Blood Refinement Transformation! The bound beast let out an even more shrill and ferocious roar.

Flesh and blood expanded and cracked wildly, and bones broke through the skin and flesh to grow and transform into terrifying arcs.

The scales rapidly peeled off, only to regenerate into even thicker, more menacing keratinous plates.

The skull splits apart, and a second or third set of huge new skulls covered with sharp teeth grows.

At the wound torn open by the Beast King's heat, a golden-red "Nirvana Beast Flame" containing primal power ignited, tempering the beast's body.

Every transformation means becoming stronger, but it also means that the next attack will be even more deadly!
The core of the battlefield is gradually being consolidated.

In the eyes of the surviving behemoths, the primal savagery has faded, replaced by a profound and unyielding weariness, and a brutal wisdom that is almost cold and ruthless—the wisdom of the beast.

They ceased their pointless conflicts and began to roam the blood-soaked mountain of corpses, each movement bringing with it a heavy, overwhelming pressure, as if the mountains were collapsing.

They gazed at each other from afar, and where their eyes met, even the boiling swamp of blood was pressed into a brief, flat crater by an invisible force.

Ultimately, deep within the core of the entire Bloodbath, magma, blood swamps, remains, and endless malevolent energy swirled wildly, forming a massive, ever-collapsed crimson-gold vortex—the Vortex of Return to Origin.

At the center of the vortex, only one figure remained!
It bore the marks of the most terrifying battles: its broken dragon horns bore traces of lightning, its newly formed giant skull was covered with ferocious plate armor that was a mixture of steel bristles and bone spikes, its torso was a fusion of the lava scales of the ancient lizard and the star-splitting steel patterns of the Hou beast, and its tailbone was broken into sections like a chain-toothed python, coiled with lightning.

A pair of impaired eyes, one deep blue like an icy core, the other blazing gold like a magma core.

With each heavy breath, it exhaled the primordial beast king's aura, a mixture of gold, red, and ice blue.

In the silent hell where all beasts lay dead, it raised its scarred head and let out a low, long sound, as if from the beginning of time:

"Roar—Awooo—"

The roar pierced through the sealed lid of the Demonic Furnace and reverberated at the edge of the formation.

All beasts return to their origin, their blood forged through eternity!
Only this one beast stands in the king's tomb!

A royal beast is born!

They remember this scene clearly and dare not forget it.

This memory instilled fear in them, but also an immense longing.

All we know is that the last survivor in the picture joined the Guiyuan Clan and became a member of the Guiyuan Clan.

From a ferocious beast devoid of intelligence, it not only gained wisdom but also achieved the late-stage level of a first-order transcendent being within the great formation.

It's no exaggeration to say that it's a path to rapid progress.

But they can't forget the remains of those who were eliminated. If they enter, they will most likely become one of those remains, rather than the one who makes it to the end.

Has anyone successfully completed the task of completing the list of demonic beasts born under the Heavenly Dao?
Yes, there are. Although it's only a one in ten thousand chance, some monsters still wanted to become stronger and chose the Origin of All Beasts, and they really made it to the end.

But the chances of that happening are too small.

If they were mindless, ferocious beasts, they wouldn't have so many thoughts or so much fear.

Who told them to complete the Way of Heaven and give birth to wisdom? Wisdom is the source of suffering and the prerequisite for fear.

They know the benefits of going all the way to the end.

Once a survivor is bathed in the blood of countless beasts and survives to the end, with the help of the formation and the blessing of the Beast King's will, every final victor will undergo a complete transformation.

If talent were also categorized by numbers, the highest talent a monster that hasn't undergone any training would be five, but once it has been baptized by the Great Array of Ten Thousand Beasts Returning to Origin, its talent would at least increase to seven or higher.

Don't underestimate these two points of improvement; these two points are the difference between geniuses and ordinary people.

This needs to be noted.

The simple Myriad Beasts Returning to Origin Formation does not have this ability.

Remember, the original purpose of the Myriad Beasts Returning to Origin Formation was to allow ferocious beasts to develop intelligence; they didn't have such a strong ability to transform.

However, as a cultivator progresses, their spirit beast will also progress.

The original formation has already been upgraded several times.

This already supports the premise that the Beastmaster can be born.

The reason I dare to call myself Beast King is because as long as I survive the baptism of the blood of ten thousand beasts, I will definitely reach the fourth rank.

It is a potential fourth-tier beast king, or even a reserve candidate.

If this still doesn't lead to becoming a fourth-tier beast king, then it would be quite unreasonable.

All the pride of the demon beast was completely shattered by everything that happened at the Spirit Beast Headquarters; it had lost every last bit of pride.

Originally, I thought I was pretty good. Among hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of ferocious beasts, I entered the first tier, gained intelligence, and became a demon beast.

It became a cultivator within the Dao Lord system.

This should have been something to be proud of.

After the trip to the Spirit Beast Headquarters, I finally understood why this place was a direct subordinate of the Dao Lord's spirit beasts.

The gap is too big; developing one's own wisdom is just the beginning for others.

It's so humid here that even these beasts, who should be the pride of heaven, are crying out that they can't stand it.

Fortunately, it wasn't a complete loss.

Having received the true teachings of the Daoist Master, the methods that he had previously struggled with were replaced by the "Scripture of the Return of All Beasts to Their Origin".

This technique needs no introduction; the Myriad Beasts Returning to Origin Formation evolved from this technique, which speaks volumes.

More fundamentally, it comes from the Dao Lord's body-refining method, the "Heaven and Earth Furnace Method".

The "Return of Ten Thousand Beasts to the Origin Scripture" was modified by the little fox based on the body-refining method; it is essentially one of the three invincible techniques.

After all, the three invincible techniques are more suitable for humans.

The little fox possesses the shards of a fifth-tier Venerable and the fortune and merit of a third-tier Beast King, so it's quite reasonable for it to create such a technique, which is comparable to a supreme treasure.

Whether it's the "Return of All Beasts to Their Origin" or the "Refining of Bloodlines," it all revolves around the fundamental principle of body refinement.

The myriad beasts are not only demonic beasts, ferocious beasts, and spiritual beasts; in the Scripture of the Origin of Myriad Beasts, humans are also considered beasts.

It is possible to refine a human being into energy.

As mentioned before, it was opposed by many human cultivators, but the opposition was ineffective. With the Holy Mother of Tushan and the Xuan Cat, ordinary people simply couldn't oppose it.

Conversely, these mythical beasts are also a treasure for humanity. You can eat people to evolve, and I can kill you and take everything from you.

The hides and bones of a first-tier spirit beast are far more valuable than those of an advanced-tier spirit beast.

Whoever is stronger is the big winner.

The human powerhouses had no objections, nor did the spirit beast powerhouses.

The opinions of weak spirit beasts and weak humans shall be disregarded.

After obtaining the cultivation techniques, the demon beasts returned to their birthplace to guard their territory for the headquarters and protect the land for their entire race.

Furthermore, if a promising junior is discovered, they can be recommended to the district headquarters, a responsibility similar to that of cultivators at the level of human villages and towns.

Most importantly, joining the Spirit Beast Headquarters is equivalent to having a powerful backer.

Even if discovered by human cultivators, humans would still have reservations.

Killing wild monsters is easy, but it's not so easy with monsters that have been formally registered. You can kill them, but they can also kill you.

Moreover, the officially registered demon beasts are far stronger than wild ones; the "Return of All Beasts to the Origin Scripture" was not learned for nothing.

Moreover, the Dream Eaters have already constructed a dream world belonging to their spirit beasts.

A strange computer similar to a human dragon master, the Hongmeng Skynet with extraordinary technology.

The spirit beasts finally have their own way of communicating.

They are only slightly inferior to humans. To enter the Spirit Beast Dream Realm, they need a safe and stable place.

Unlike the human-made Hongmeng SkyNet, it can be viewed entirely with a virtual bracelet.

However, something is better than nothing.

Although the Hongmeng Skynet and the Ghost Network will not hinder spiritual communication, they will treat everyone equally.

Ultimately, it's not something I can control, but the Spirit Beast Dream Realm, though rudimentary, is something I can manage.

Monsters can also be added to the network after they are recruited.

While broadening their horizons, it greatly enhanced their intelligence and perspective.

above……

This refers to the progress and current status of spirit beasts over the past few decades.

Xuanhuang's attitude towards spirit beasts was not as attentive as that of humans.

The birth of spirit beasts was entirely unintentional; they existed for the sake of divine cultivation.

He himself never expected things to turn out this way.

Therefore, he was very satisfied with the spirit beast.

Speaking of spiritual cultivation.

Xuanhuang glanced at it and saw that Wei Qiancheng, a divine cultivator, had already reached the third level, but the outside world was unaware of it yet.

The number of second-tier Divine Cultivation experts is no less than that of any of the Four Super Cults.

This is the special feature of divine cultivation: as long as one has enough faith and a strong enough will, one can rapidly improve through faith.

Wei Qiancheng was such a person.

The divine seal bestowed by Xuanhuang constantly influences his soul, resulting in his spirit, energy, will, and mind being extremely strong.

Reaching the third level is a piece of cake.

Divine cultivators don't need to comprehend profound mysteries; they only need to comprehend the divinity of the Dao Lord. They don't need to comprehend profound mysteries like ordinary cultivators.

If Xuanhuang were willing, he could easily allow Wei Qiancheng to comprehend 129,600 perfect insights in a short period of time.

After all, everything about divine cultivation is built upon the Xuanhuang.

Even if Xuanhuang did not intend to elevate Wei Qiancheng, Wei Qiancheng, with the divine seal bestowed upon him by Xuanhuang, was essentially like a VIP, possessing at least ten times the level of enlightenment that ordinary people could achieve.

As for how many times it can be achieved, it all depends on the strength of Wei Qiancheng's will.

A strong will leads to a faster understanding, while a weak will leads to a slower understanding.

But Wei Qiancheng's will is not weak, which means he is at least ten times faster than others.

on the other hand.

Over the years, the divine cultivators have swept away all the evil gods within the Xia Kingdom. The places under their control have all become the kingdoms of the Creation God Cult.

With such a vast source of faith, how could Wei Qiancheng, as the leader of the cult, not make rapid progress?

The Divine Kingdom's Heavenly Network has been upgraded to the second-order limit.

They are planning to enter the third-tier divine kingdom, the Heavenly Network.

This is why Wei Qiancheng entered the third tier; he needed a third-tier divine cultivator to control him.

He entered the third tier entirely in preparation for the advancement of the Divine Kingdom's Heavenly Network.

In this turbulent time, the Divine Cultivation Sect shows no signs of splitting, nor is it possible for it to split.

However, given the prevailing trend, they will also be affected.

This influence is the result of Xuanhuang intentionally restraining his divinity.

As long as Xuanhuang intends to suppress his divinity, the divine cultivators here will be experiencing the final tribulation, if we use spiritual energy as an analogy.

The period from the birth of spiritual energy to its peak is the growth period, and the period of diminishing spiritual energy is the final tribulation.

The gathering of divine nature by Xuanhuang marks the final tribulation for divine cultivators.

Of course, the final tribulation does not mean that one cannot achieve divine cultivation, nor does it mean that divine cultivation cannot progress.

Instead, progress will become more difficult, and the number of people becoming divine cultivators will decrease.

True geniuses in spiritual cultivation are unaffected.

The reason Xuanhuang did this was to comply with the tribulation he had set for himself and not weaken the projection of divinity. Divine cultivators who do not experience the final tribulation will continue to grow stronger and remain unaffected, which is unfair to true cultivators who are currently undergoing tribulations.

However, if the divine cultivators are left unaffected and grow unchecked, they will become the next source of 'calamity'.

Definitely.

Intentionally weakening oneself is also a form of long-term foresight.

The cultivators themselves sensed it; they understood, especially the higher-ups.

During meditation, I clearly felt that the divine light emanating from the Dao Lord had diminished considerably.

It's not a problem with the Dao Lord, nor is it a problem with the Dao Lord's physical safety.

Then it means that the Dao Lord intentionally restrained himself.

As the Lamb of Believers, they can clearly feel this.

Wei Qiancheng breathed a sigh of relief upon discovering this, his face beaming with smiles.

He didn't believe that the Dao Lord was abandoning them, but rather protecting them, since other forces were splitting and weakening, while the divine cultivators were unrestrained.

As a highly intelligent religious leader, he was mindful of potential dangers even in times of peace and had long been worried about them.

Fortunately, fortunately.

The Dao Lord is a master strategist; he couldn't have missed this, which put them at ease.

Divine power diminishes, it doesn't disappear; it's merely a period of difficult and arduous cultivation. The loyalty of a divine cultivator is not afraid of such a test.

And the test came at just the right time.
