Swallowing the Stars: I Have a Primordial Dao Seed

Meanwhile, the battle between Gao Tao, Kahn, and the beast leader had also reached a fever pitch. The beast leader was extremely powerful, and even with Gao Tao and Kahn joining forces, they were finding it difficult to kill it in a short time.

This giant bear leader is over a thousand meters tall, covered in dark golden fur, and each swing of its claws carries a terrifying force, as if it could tear everything apart.

Gao Tao thrust out his star-patterned spear repeatedly, the golden spear light colliding with the giant bear chieftain's paws, producing a deafening roar. Meanwhile, Kahn, wielding his earthen-yellow shield, stood firmly in front of Gao Tao, absorbing most of the giant bear chieftain's attacks.

"Zhou Yuan, use the Sky-Suppressing Slash to restrict its movement!" Gao Tao's voice was tinged with fatigue as he hurriedly spoke upon seeing Zhou Yuan flying over.

"Understood!" Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuan swung the Zhenkong Blade in his hand once more. The earthen-yellow blade emitted strong fluctuations of the Earth Origin Law and the Space Origin Law, and a huge blade beam slashed towards the giant bear leader.

"Sky-Suppressing Slash!" The blade of light pierced through the air, freezing the space in its path. Sensing the threat, the giant bear leader turned and struck out with its palm against the blade of light, but its movements were greatly slowed down by the suppression of the Earth Origin Law.

"Now!" Gao Tao seized the opportunity, and the star-patterned spear in his hand emitted a dazzling golden light. The fundamental law of gold pierced towards the ferocious beast leader as if it were a tangible substance.

The Star-Patterned Spear pierced the beast leader's body in an instant, and the beast leader let out a painful roar, his body struggling violently.

Seeing this, Kahn thrust his right-hand sword directly into the wound, striking the beast's vital core.

The ferocious beast leader died instantly and fell from the sky.

Just as Zhou Yuan and the others were dealing with the giant bear leader, Sorin finally found an opportunity on the other side.

Taking advantage of the moment when the sixth-tier Realm Lord giant bear was restrained by Mu Feng's Wind Spirit Blade.

The short dagger in his hand shot out like lightning, a condensed white blade of light precisely piercing the giant bear's left eye and shattering its life core hidden in its head.

"Roar!" The sixth-tier World Lord giant bear let out a mournful roar, its massive body crashing heavily to the ground, completely losing its breath.

With the fall of the five World Lord-level giant bears, the remaining hundreds of Domain Lord-level giant bears instantly descended into chaos.

Without their leader, they fled through the forest like headless flies. Some were killed by the aftermath of the battle, while others fled out of the valley.

"Stop chasing them. These domain lord-level ferocious beasts aren't worth much, it's not worth wasting time on them." Gao Tao waved his hand, stopping the group from giving chase.

His face was somewhat pale, but his eyes gleamed with excitement. "This harvest is quite substantial, with seven Water Essence Grasses and the corpses of five World Lord-level ferocious beasts. They are of considerable value."

"Finally solved!" Kahn slumped to the ground, panting heavily. He had just faced a giant bear beast at the peak of the Realm Lord level all by himself and had been slightly injured.

"Is everyone alright?" Gao Tao asked, looking at everyone.

"I'm fine, just a minor injury," Yun Yan replied, shaking his head.

"I'm fine too," Zhou Yuan, Mu Feng, and Suolin all said.

"Captain, these are seven Water Essence Grasses." Sorin took out the Water Essence Grasses from her World Ring and handed them to Gao Tao. The pale blue grass leaves were still covered with damp water droplets, radiating a strong aura of the water elemental law.

Gao Tao took the Water-Nourishing Grass, examined it carefully, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "Not bad, in excellent condition, each one is worth at least ten Chaos Units. When we return to the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, we'll sell these treasures and then distribute the profits."

"Yes, Captain." Everyone nodded in agreement. Although the battle had been brief, the aura of those who had exerted their full strength was somewhat weakened, but their eyes still shone with excitement.

Although the battle was dangerous, the gains were indeed substantial.

"Everyone, take a rest and recover from your injuries and restore your Force," Gao Tao said. "Later, we'll search the valley more thoroughly to see if there are any other treasures."

Everyone nodded, found a safe place to sit cross-legged, and began to absorb the power of origin to recover their injuries and regain their primal force.

The valley gradually returned to calm, with only the rustling of leaves in the breeze and the occasional roar of a ferocious beast in the distance.

******

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and when the morning mist once again enveloped the pool in the valley, Kahn's massive body finally slowly rose from the rock cave.

"Kahn, you're finally out of seclusion!" By the campfire by the pool, Gao Tao waved his hand, flipping a skewer of sizzling bear meat in his hand. "Come and eat some, this is the fattest and tender shoulder meat we specially saved for you."

Zhou Yuan, Mu Feng, Yun Yan, and Suo Lin sat around the campfire, with the grill in front of them piled high with pieces of giant bear meat.

Golden fat dripped into the fire, crackling and popping, and the rich aroma of meat mixed with spices filled the valley.

Kahn walked up to the crowd and, without any ceremony, took a skewer of meat the size of an average person's palm and started eating it.

Kahn strode up to the group, looked at the skewers of meat on the grill that were only the size of an average person's palm, and couldn't help but frown: "You guys are grilling these too small, they're not even enough to fill a tooth gap."

He said, snatching the half-person-high grill from Gao Tao's hands, "I'll do it myself."

Gao Tao smiled and shook his head, then took out a complete Domain Lord-level giant bear directly from his world ring. This giant bear was hundreds of meters long, covered in black fur, and even though it had been dead for many days, it still retained a faint aura of ferocity.

Kahn's eyes lit up at the sight. With a wave of his hand, the earth-yellow primordial law condensed into several huge blades, instantly cutting dozens of half-human-sized pieces of meat from the giant bear and placing them precisely on the grill.

While grilling meat, everyone chatted casually, discussing everything from combat skills to the customs and cultures of various parts of the universe, creating a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere.

As the sun began to set and everyone's stomachs were full, Gao Tao clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention back.

"Alright, now that we've eaten and drunk our fill, let's get down to business." Gao Tao's expression turned serious. "While everyone was recovering from their injuries this past month, Zhou Yuan, Suolin, and Mu Feng thoroughly searched the valley. Tell me about what you found."

Mu Feng spoke first: "I'm in charge of searching the area on the right side of the valley. It's mainly a mineral vein there, all D-grade common minerals, but the reserves are quite considerable. However, the value is too low, and it takes too much time, so it's not worth mining."

Zhou Yuan continued, "I searched the left side of the valley. There were no mineral veins there, but I found an orchard with fourteen D-grade spirit fruit trees, bearing about three hundred spirit fruits. These fruits can help domain lords quickly accumulate primal force. The market price for one spirit fruit is one billion cosmic coins, and one fruit tree is worth about one Hunyuan unit."

After Zhou Yuan finished speaking, Suolin spoke last, adding calmly, "In the part of the valley I searched, I found tens of thousands of tons of F2-grade metal Qingyun Stone Mother at the bottom of the pool. I checked the price through the virtual universe. This metal belongs to the low-to-mid-grade F-grade material, and its total value is about 10 Hunyuan units."
