Chapter 952 Monster
Qin Hao understood; he had anticipated the answer from the Mountain Hermit. After all, there were only a handful of mature Great Daos on the Origin Continent.

For countless years, the vast majority of cultivation has been spent on these few paths, struggling and striving, with very limited exploration of the unknown.

Most of the so-called god-kings are just looking for possibilities on the old path, without stepping into a new one.

Furthermore, they also place their hopes on the legacy left by their predecessors, seeking a path forward from it.

The "Art of Countless Origins" is a case in point. It was discovered by the Divine King of Jin, and when the three rulers of the Food Kingdom learned of it, a great war ensued. In the end, the Divine King of Jin perished, and the three rulers of the Food Kingdom gained nothing.

"What exactly is going on here? Why is there such a strong aura?" the Mountain-Sitting Guest asked.

"It's probably more serious than we guessed. The source of this fog shouldn't just be a Chaos Overlord-level treasure, or rather, it's not just one Chaos Overlord-level treasure," Qin Hao said, his tone becoming much more serious.

“I can sense a life force deep within, intertwined with the power of destruction, similar to the Beast of the Realm, but fundamentally different. It lacks the Beast of the Realm's perfectly formed life structure, instead appearing somewhat like a hybrid.”

Qin Hao explained the state he had perceived, bit by bit.

Let the former God-King judge these situations. Having lived for so many years and possessing so much experience, his judgment is far more accurate than my own.

"I didn't expect them to have such in-depth research. It seems they want to study the Beasts of the Realm, or even create them in their own world."

As the man sitting on the mountain spoke, he couldn't help but sneer.

"Unfortunately, they thought too simply. The creation of World Beasts cannot be achieved simply by destroying the origin and the Great Dao. Even though World Beasts are natural destroyers, they are still life, life born from destruction."

"After all this research, I've only managed to bring the beings within my body to a perfect genetic level, hoping to give birth to life forms that can directly embark on the path of divine power," said the Mountain-Sitting Guest.

The Origin Continent is not devoid of powerful beings who directly embark on the path of divine power; in fact, there are quite a few such beings and races. They are like special life forms born from the primordial universe, most of whom originated from the Origin Continent and are inherently quite unique.

However, most only reach a relatively high level; very few are as special as a Realm Beast. And there are none like the Realm Beast King.

Even whether any World Beast Kings still exist on the Origin Continent is unknown.

This is not a lack of understanding; it could even be said that the origin of the world has not been reached.

The Cosmic Sea and the Dark Land are extremely special existences. Although they are not as large as the primordial universe, their internal primordial power is extremely abundant, so abundant that it has given birth to a billion world beasts that have reached the level of true gods.

"Let's go see what kind of monster this is!" Qin Hao said, heading deeper into the dark place. The surrounding mist was completely assimilated before it even got close to him, creating a vacuum around him.

This made things much easier for both Zuo Shan Ke and Luo Feng, as they no longer needed to exert themselves to resist the troublesome fog.

The three advanced rapidly, the surrounding fog thickening even further. However, this had no effect on Qin Hao. "They've actually reached the Void True God level. It seems they're a bit more difficult to deal with than I imagined." Qin Hao's gaze pierced through the dense fog, sensing the monsters hidden deep within.

Although it only possesses the strength of a Void True God, its genetic level is not low, and it also has some characteristics of this World Beast. The extent of its power that it can unleash is somewhat unknown.

Furthermore, the armor on this monster's body is not simple either. The eggshell-like treasure surrounding its body should be the Chaos Overlord-level treasure mentioned by the Mountain Guest.

The treasure continuously absorbed the surrounding mist, and with each wisp of mist that merged into it, the monster's aura grew stronger.

The sense of disharmony about the monster also diminished somewhat.

The whole process was like nurturing a life, and that life was the monster inside the eggshell treasure.

As Qin Hao and the others approached, the monster inside the eggshell treasure seemed to sense the danger and became restless. The mist around the eggshell also began to become turbulent, with powerful shocks rapidly dissipating in all directions.

This impact contained not only violent energy but also an extremely volatile will. Even a sixth-tier world beast would lose its way under its influence.

Qin Hao's divine power rapidly formed a barrier within his body, completely isolating him from the surrounding turmoil. The violent aura around him had no effect on this barrier whatsoever.

Qin Hao, Zuoshanke, and Luo Feng continued forward and soon arrived outside the eggshell treasure. This treasure alone was nearly 10 light-years high and three light-years in diameter, making it extremely massive.

"These three guys have big ambitions. This monster's body contains the genes of at least dozens of special life forms, as well as the genes of the Beast King. It seems they've been planning this for quite some time."

The Mountain Guest quickly began to study the life inside the eggshell. Although separated by the precious eggshell, the monster's life force was still unobstructed, allowing Qin Hao and the others to clearly perceive it.

Qin Hao also sensed an extremely discordant feeling from the monster. Although the monster's life force was very strong, it was very scattered and not very stable.

In terms of sheer power of life force, this monster is comparable to a life form with a genetic level more than 90,000 times stronger. However, its inherent flaws prevent it from being truly powerful or robust.

However, as the surrounding mist merged in, it acted like an adhesive, constantly making him more whole and gradually fusing together all the incomplete parts.

"What an ingenious idea! Using the life energy of a Beast of the Realm to enhance its growth—this method is indeed interesting." Qin Hao examined the creature and gained a new understanding of the monster and the eggshell's function.

It was precisely this purpose that sparked the battle throughout the Dark Land. The energy released from the battles and deaths of numerous Beast Realms, along with the life energy and destructive power of the Beast Realms, became his best nourishment.

However, whether it will ultimately succeed remains to be seen. If it fails, the monster will be devoured by the Realm Beast, becoming sustenance for the Realm Beast's growth.

Perhaps the three rulers of the Food Kingdom had foreseen this situation. Regardless of success or failure, it would be a devastating blow to this part of the cosmic sea.
