Honghuang Taihuang

Chapter 131 Taotie

Zi Xiao possesses the Taixu Supreme Treasure, the Creation Jade Disc. This Taixu Supreme Treasure can draw upon the origin of the Heavenly Dao and evolve all phenomena in the world. The four ferocious beasts are inherently yin and turbid, so they cannot develop sentience.

However, the power of the Creation Jade Disc is enough to help the four ferocious beasts awaken their intelligence. Once the four ferocious beasts, as the lords of the ferocious beasts, awaken their intelligence, the other ferocious beasts will gradually develop intelligence under the influence of the four ferocious beast lords.

Once the countless ferocious beasts in the four extreme regions of the world—Eastern Yi, Southern Man, Northern Di, and Western Rong—develop intelligence, coupled with the four ferocious beast lords comparable to top-tier Primordial True Saints, the ferocious beast race will leap to become a top-tier race surpassing the five royal families.

Although the time it takes for this intelligence to develop is very long, it is still not as long as the time it takes to forge the Four Divine Beasts.

After the Four Divine Beasts were completed, the five royal families and Taiwei were shocked to discover that the Lords of the Four Ferocious Beasts had become four top-level Primordial True Saints. Taiwei and the Lords of the five royal families must have looked quite pleased.

Dianyi entrusted the task of investigating the Western White Tiger Mechanism Sacred Beast to his subordinates, and then descended into the Western Rong Domain alone with the help of the Creation Jade Disc.

However, as soon as Dianyi arrived in the Western Rong Domain, he saw a tall figure walking out of the Western Rong Domain.

The extreme aura of death and demonic energy was pitch black yet tinged with scarlet blood. Even though Zi Xiao's body was a Taiyi Realm Innate True Saint, he could still feel the extremely profound and terrifying aura of death.

Zi Xiao looked at Nuwa's death incarnation and dared not make any rash moves. His destroyed body was no match for Nuwa's death incarnation. Only after Nuwa's death incarnation completely left did Zi Xiao merge into the Western Rong Domain under the pure white light.

However, as soon as he entered the Western Rong Domain, Zi Xiao's eyes suddenly narrowed. As far as he could see, the mountains and fields of the Western Rong Domain were covered by a thick layer of bloody light.

Forests, mountains, barren hills, deserts—nearly 30% of the Western Rong Domain was covered with the carcasses of ferocious beasts.

Even with Zi Xiao's primordial spirit strength, it was impossible to calculate exactly how many ferocious beasts had died here in a short time. Perhaps the number of dead ferocious beasts in the Western Rong Domain had already exceeded the number of surviving ferocious beasts.

"Such a sharp sword mark, who was that person just now?" Zi Xiao looked down at the cleanly severed neck of a nine-headed ferocious beast in front of him, his brows furrowing. To kill all the soul power and life force within a Golden Immortal beast with a single sword strike was a level of swordsmanship that even he could not achieve.

"In the vast primordial world, there are only two powerful women, Nuwa and Zhu Qi. Nuwa is skilled in the Way of Creation, so this sharp and deathly sword technique doesn't seem to be hers. Zhu Qi is skilled in the Way of Life, Death, and Nirvana, which is somewhat related to the Way of Death. But why is Zhu Qi coming to the Western Rong Domain to kill these ferocious beasts?"

Zi Xiao smiled, somewhat puzzled as to who the person was and what their purpose was, but this had nothing to do with the purpose of his trip.

His figure transformed into a rainbow and arrived at the deepest part of the Western Rong Domain. Zi Xiao looked at Taotie, who was devouring the corpse of a Golden Immortal beast, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes. Pure white light emanated from between Zi Xiao's eyebrows.

The Supreme Treasure of the Void, the Jade Disc of Creation, slowly floated down from between Zi Xiao's eyebrows. In an instant, the vast and boundless pure white light enveloped Taotie, and the power of the Supreme Treasure of the Void suppressed Taotie completely.

The Western Rong Domain trembled. The primordial essence within countless surviving ferocious beasts was mobilized by Taotie, and a violent and powerful force erupted from Taotie's body, attempting to shatter the great power of the Creation Jade Disc.

However, Taotie's own cultivation was limited and its intelligence was not developed, so it was unable to fully unleash the power of the countless ferocious beasts in the Western Rong Domain. Otherwise, such power would be no weaker than a supreme treasure of the Void.

Pure white light continuously descended, like layers of clouds trapping Taotie. Faced with the fully unleashed power of the Taixu Treasure, Taotie had little power to resist. Strands of pure white light continuously merged into Taotie's soul.

The pure and vast power of the Heavenly Dao continuously tempered and reorganized the Taotie's soul essence. A ray of bright light bloomed in the Taotie's lifeless purple mansion. The Taotie's struggling body gradually stopped, and a glimmer of wisdom began to appear in its pair of dim yellow eyes.

Above the sky, Zixiao, pale-faced, looked at Taotie, who had stopped struggling, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

Currently, Taotie's intelligence is rapidly improving. Once Taotie's intelligence is fully perfected, coupled with Taotie's ability to draw upon the power of countless ferocious beasts in the Western Rong Domain, such Taotie will undoubtedly be a top-tier Primordial True Saint wielding the ultimate treasure of the Great Void.

If Taotie can reach this level, then the other three ferocious beast lords must also be able to reach it. In this way, the four ferocious beast lords would be equivalent to four top-level Primordial True Saints wielding the Supreme Treasure of the Void. Zixiao really wanted to see how Taiwei and the five royal families would deal with such power.

Time slowly passed, and it took a full 30,000 years for Zixiao to finally use the power of the Creation Jade Disc to fully develop Taotie's intelligence.

With a roar that sounded like a cathartic release and excitement echoing throughout the entire Western Rong Domain, Zi Xiao's figure vanished from the Western Rong Domain in an instant. The next moment, a pale rainbow shooting into the sky shattered the spot where Zi Xiao had been standing.

The towering Taotie below had vanished. A middle-aged man, wearing a white cloak, with a pale face and messy black hair hanging down his back, frowned as he looked at the empty sky above and let out a cold snort.

Although Taotie had just gained sentience, it still obtained a lot of basic information about the primordial world from the Jade Disc of Creation, and even learned about the destiny of the Four Divine Beasts.

Although Taotie didn't know why Zixiao was helping him, he knew that Zixiao must want him to fight against the five royal clans. Taotie was very grateful to Zixiao for giving him intelligence, but he hated even more the arbitrary manipulation of his soul by Zixiao before.

Zixiao has already left, and Taotie is helpless. Moreover, now that he knows the destiny of the Four Divine Beasts, if he doesn't take immediate action to strengthen the power of the ferocious beast clan, his death will be imminent once the Four Divine Beasts are forged.

With a wave of his hand, Taotie fused countless divine metals and spiritual trees from the Western Rong Domain with the essence of heaven and earth in his palm, transforming them into a long white bone spear that was over ten feet long.

The spear shaft was formed by melting various divine metals, and at the top was a short sword that was two feet and three inches long. The spear incorporated the essence of countless ferocious beasts, so although it was newly created, this white bone spear was already a top-level acquired treasure, and it was only one step away from becoming a treasure of creation.

Moreover, this white bone spear is constantly melting the essence of countless ferocious beasts in the Western Rong Domain, and eventually this white bone spear will surely be able to be upgraded into a supreme treasure of creation.
