Chapter 547 The Calamity of Ten Thousand Beasts, A Deadly Scheme

A thought struck him, and a prayerful murmur echoed from inside the thatched hut.

The Dragon King and the others only felt a blur before their eyes, and then they saw Li Wushou in front of them transform from a green robe into a golden robe.

Although it looked the same, the gods present felt a sudden chill in their hearts.

When they looked at Li Wushou again, it was as if they were facing a high-ranking deity, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of submission. Even the Floating Ancestor felt extremely oppressed.

This feeling flashed by, and Li Wushou continued to exchange pleasantries with everyone as usual.

But everyone knew something was bound to happen.

Within the Divine Aperture World, Li Wushou's mind sank into his original spiritual tablet, taking control of his Daoist spiritual body. He stepped out from the low mountain and disappeared into the underground netherworld.

The wisp of the Yang God clone of the Myriad Beasts Venerable, which he had suppressed at the bottom of the River Styx, roared to the sky.

The waters of the Styx around them swirled back, creating a vacuum.

The Shadow of Ten Thousand Beasts stepped out from the roar, running through the vacuum field and rapidly pushing the entire field outward.

With a swift movement, the Beast Venerable charged upwards, attempting to break free from the Styx River's suppression and escape.

"Hmph! Want to leave?"

Dao Yun Ling Shen let out a soft hum, and the myriad spirits in the River Styx echoed his cry.

Previously, all the ghosts in the Ghostly Sacred Realm, the Banner-Holding Realm, and the Seed-Holding Divine Realm were devoured by the Styx River. Nourished by the power of the Styx River, these ghosts became even more ferocious.

At this moment, summoned by the Daoist spirit body, they stepped forward one after another.

Although the Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts' charged attack was sudden, the black and white banners and the soul-sweeping bell contained countless ghosts.

The shadows of all beasts cried out in anguish, and one by one they dissipated within the domain created by the Venerable Beasts.

The Beast Master stood still, panting heavily.

Gazing at the dark Styx River that enveloped him once again, the Beast Master looked dejected.

As if speaking to himself, yet also as if he had discovered Li Wushou's Daoist aura, he spoke softly:
"I, a beast of ten thousand, gather the essence of all things, roaming freely across a region. I thought that even if the world changed drastically, I would be able to roam freely between heaven and earth. But I never imagined that in the end, I would only be food for others. How magnificent! How tragic! Hahaha!"

Li Wushou stood in the River Styx, looking at the deranged Beast Venerable with a bewildered expression.

The words of the Beast Master were somewhat beyond his expectations.

He had initially thought that the Beast Master was making a death throes, but now it seemed that something was amiss.

This is just a wisp of the opponent's Yang spirit. Even if he eats it, he will only lose some of his essence. Although this will have some impact on the beasts, there is no need to call himself a blood meal, right?

What did the other person mean by that?
Doesn't that mean there's something wrong with the other party's physical body?
The hunting expedition at Mount Bulao and the blood sacrifice to the Sparrow God are still vivid in my mind.

Could it be that before the Venerable One of Ten Thousand Beasts attained enlightenment, someone secretly used unknown methods on him?
Did something unexpected happen at this moment?

With a thought, Li Wushou quietly appeared in front of the Venerable Beast.

Seeing this, the Venerable Beasts' sorrowful emotions subsided somewhat.

Gazing at Li Wushou's Daoist spiritual body, with his discerning eye, he could immediately see the extraordinary nature of this body, as if all things were evolving within it.

This is even more profound than many of the Dao principles in his Myriad Beasts Sacred Domain.

"As expected of someone Zhenhai values ​​highly, he truly possesses unparalleled talent. My defeat against Jin Guang was not unjust!"

Li Wushou remained calm and asked indifferently:

"Why did you act that way just now, Venerable One?"

The Venerable One of Ten Thousand Beasts suddenly fell silent. After a long while, as if having made some kind of decision, he looked at Li Wushou and replied:
"I'm dying!"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Li Wushou's mind turned serious. Had something really gone wrong?
After speaking, the Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts walked around with his hands behind his back, seemingly accepting his impending death with equanimity.

Ignoring Li Wushou's reaction, he continued speaking to himself:

"I can sense that my physical body is decaying, my sacred domain is collapsing, and someone is feeding on my physical body and sacred domain."

It is only because of the isolation provided by your dark River Styx that I cannot discern who made the move.

It's unclear how the original body was attacked.

However, I had communicated with Jin Guang, Yan Wu, Xuan Huang and others a long time ago, and we all felt that there was a lot of conspiracy hidden in the cultivation methods of the world today.

However, our path has already been completed, and there is no way to make amends.

The calamity of the body likely stems from this.

"After cultivating for over a thousand years, it all amounts to nothing but a mirage, how laughable, hahaha!" This seemed to stir the emotions of the myriad beasts, causing their feelings to surge even higher.

Li Wushou quietly observed the myriad beasts. Having experienced the incident with the Sparrow Lord, Li Wushou was not surprised by these events.

The influence of the Hunters in this world extends far beyond Mount Immortal.

While it was unexpected that all the beasts would be caught in the trap, it wasn't entirely surprising either.

After a moment, having vented his emotions, the beast suddenly turned around, gazed at Li Wushou, and said with a smile:

"Your talent is unparalleled, and you can manipulate various Dao techniques at will. Is it really a good thing that Zhenhai values ​​you so much? Zhenhai is different from us; he may very well have designs on you."

Seeing that Li Wushou's expression remained unchanged, the Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts spoke again:
"Last time at Zhongtian Pass, I saw your extraordinary physical body. Your every move was incredibly powerful. Among the physical techniques you've practiced, there must be methods to comprehend the innate spirit, right?"

The Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts seemed extremely certain about this.

Li Wushou nodded slightly, confirming it.

The opponent's Myriad Beasts Body technique is far more sophisticated than the Dragon King's Golden Core Dragon Seed technique, but it lacks Li Wushou's powerful ability to devour and digest.

The fact that the other party could perceive this did not surprise Li Wushou, nor was there anything to hide.

Seeing this, the Venerable One of Ten Thousand Beasts smiled knowingly and continued:
"Your physical body is one of the strongest I have ever seen besides Zhenhai, including many Venerables."

Once a being's innate physical form reaches 90%, there will be an insurmountable barrier.

"With your current level of cultivation, you haven't yet broken through to the Venerable realm. You must not have crossed this insurmountable barrier yet, right? Are you waiting for your physical body to be complete?"

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Li Wushou's eyes.

These Venerable Ones are truly extraordinary in their insight. They are merely a wisp of the Yang Spirit of the Venerable One of Ten Thousand Beasts, yet they possess such ruthless insight.
With a sudden thought, he asked in a deep voice:

"Venerable One, what teachings do you have for me?"

The Venerable One of Ten Thousand Beasts smiled and waved his hand, replying:
"I dare not presume to teach you, but you should have a sense that when the chasm appears, no matter how much you gather and refine things, it will be difficult to make any further progress."

Because these things, regardless of their potential, are all too ordinary.

It can no longer enhance your inner strength and physical body.

However, I have two things that can help you overcome this hurdle!

Li Wushou focused his mind, his expression remaining unchanged as he gazed at the Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts.

Would the other party really be that kind?
Seeing that Li Wushou remained silent, the Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts seemed to have read his thoughts and smiled:
“A dying man’s words are good. When you reach the summit, erect my monument and open the path of all beasts again. That will settle this karma.”

Having said that, without putting on airs, he spoke with utmost sincerity:
"Back then, I hadn't even gone as far as you, and I hadn't even touched the insurmountable barrier, when I was tempted by the opportunity to become a Venerable and hastily broke through to become one."

But my body has been baptized by the Venerable One who has broken through to the next realm.

Over the years, the essence of all beasts has been gathered into my body. With the evolution and enhancement of the Venerable One's Daoist teachings, my body of all beasts has been further improved.

Although I no longer have the opportunity to become a Primordial Spirit, my Heart of Ten Thousand Beasts is an excellent treasure for the physical body.

Therefore, if you can obtain the heart of all beasts in my true form, you will surely be able to take a big step forward.

Besides, there is another thing, namely the Lord of the Blood Sea Sacred Domain—Moro. His heart also collects the blood essence of all spirits and has also undergone the baptism of the Venerable Realm. He has existed for at least two world changes and is stronger than me.

Once you win his heart again, with the blessing of these two items, you will surely be able to overcome any obstacle!

After saying this, the Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts stared intently at Li Wushou.

Li Wushou suddenly realized why the Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts was so generous.

It seems that the Venerable One of Ten Thousand Beasts was not entirely unaware of the calamity befalling his main body.

This wisp of Yang spirit may not have sensed who it was, just as when he discussed Daoist matters with Yanwu and others, the other party should have vaguely sensed and suspected something.

And that person should be Moro, the lord of the Blood Sea Sacred Domain.

The Beast Master must have been wary of him for a long time.

Therefore, whether it is his own Heart of Ten Thousand Beasts or the Heart of Moro, if Li Wushou wants to obtain them, he will inevitably confront the person who plots against his true form.

The reason for including Moro is in case Moro isn't the mastermind, and someone wants to take Moro away with them through him.
Or does he want to take himself away through Moro?
But is this news meant to retaliate against the mastermind behind it all, or are these two items truly useful?

Seeing the calm and collected Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts, who seemed completely unconcerned about being seen through, Li Wushou inexplicably began to believe the Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts' words to some extent.

According to his reasoning and verification, even if these two items cannot completely help him overcome the insurmountable barrier, they will indeed play a significant role in the Golden Core Dragon Seed.

The Venerable One of Ten Thousand Beasts is so calm, which must mean he is certain that he will not give up.

Even on his deathbed, he still managed to pull off a cunning scheme?
