In the Dry Origin World, he placed the corroded weapon in front of the gray aura again.
Puchi!
Without any pause, another hole appeared in the wall.
The fact that it could be used here meant that the aura wasn't a product of changing laws but something with strong corrosive properties.
With a light pinch, the Dragon Emperor's scales appeared again and drew the aura closer.
Similarly, a hole had appeared.
Su Yin shuddered.
If even the scales of the Rule realm couldn't withstand it, it meant that the Rule realm couldn't withstand it either. More importantly, the gray aura didn't seem to have reached its limit.
He grabbed at the air, and the True Dragon Sword appeared. When it touched the aura, a small hole appeared.
However, it consumed a lot of energy. A single aura wasn't enough.
Su Yin's state of mind was shaken and filled with disbelief.
The True Dragon Sword was a Realm Lord-level artifact, but it couldn't withstand the aura … What was it? Why could the firecrackers absorb it? Not only did they not die, but they could also release stronger vitality?
Puzzled, Zhang Xuan took out the eternal sand of time, only to find that it had also been completely corroded. The Wutong Tree Trunk, the Undying Flame, the Phoenix Plume … No matter what kind of treasure it was, it was unable to withstand this air current and was easily burned into a hole.
It seemed like there was nothing that couldn't be dissolved.
This was too terrifying!
If he could collect a lot of it and throw it out when he met an opponent, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand it at all!
"Could this be the legendary … Chaos Spiritual Qi?"
At that moment, Rushou suddenly spoke.
Su Yin looked at him in confusion.
Rushou continued, "I've only heard rumors. I'm not sure if it's true or not. Legend has it that outside the Celestial World is chaos. Here, this kind of Spiritual Qi is endless and spread across every corner of the universe. It's the foundation of everything in the universe. Chaos Spiritual Qi is derived from it!
"As for Chaos Beasts, they're lifeforms that grow by absorbing this Spiritual Qi. Like firecrackers, they should be a kind of chaos lifeform. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so powerful.
"This kind of Spiritual Qi is extremely corrosive. Lifeforms of the Celestial World won't be able to last long in it. They'll be digested and dissolved, unless … they can form a Chaos Saint Body! Otherwise, even a rank-9 expert won't be able to last long! "
Su Yin was stunned. "Do you mean that all Chaos Ancient Beasts have this kind of saint body?"
Rushou shook his head. "That I do not know …"
Suppressing his astonishment, Su Yin looked in the direction where the chaos spiritual qi was coming from. A short while later, he found a hidden space with a giant corpse sitting in front of him.
It was about the same height as Zhang Xuan. Its fur was black and white, and its eye sockets were dark. Even though it was just a corpse, it emanated a powerful pressure that made it difficult for Zhang Xuan to circulate his soul.
"Iron-Eating Beast!"
Needless to say, Su Yin already confirmed it.
The one before him bore a striking resemblance to the panda in his previous life. Without a doubt, it was the previous owner of the firecrackers, one of the Four Primordial Beasts, the Iron-Eating Beast.
Back then, the Dragon Emperor had taken the firecracker from its hands and defeated the Great Beast King.
Primal chaos spiritual Qi was slowly being emitted from its body.
After finding the corpse, Su Yin knew that he had achieved his goal. He stretched out his hand and grabbed it.
Since it was a saint corpse, as long as he could find a way to refine it, he should be able to gain a deeper understanding of the Chaos Ancient Beasts and improve his strength!
Boom!
Before the energy from his palm could reach the Iron-Eating Beast, Su Yin suddenly felt a violent explosion in front of him. A massive rift suddenly appeared in front of him, and his vision blurred for a moment before he fell into it.
He had actually been sucked into the space where the Iron-Eating Beast was.
While Zhang Xuan was still in shock, the black-and-white corpse suddenly rose to its feet, as if it had come back to life. Then, it sent a slap toward him.
"…"
Su Yin's scalp turned numb.
The corpse's eyes were tightly shut, and there was no sign of life in them. It did not seem like it had a mind of its own, but its strength was astounding. Even though it was just an ordinary slap, it was able to shatter the space around it like a watermelon.
Knowing that the other party was no weaker than the Dragon Emperor at his peak, Su Yin did not dare to be careless. He gathered all of his strength into his right fist and punched it forward.
Su Yin felt as if he had returned to his previous life. As an ordinary person, he was hit by a truck. A sense of helplessness welled up in his heart, rendering him unable to muster the slightest bit of strength.
His arm was dislocated, and the power of the Heaven Origin World was unable to stop the other party in the slightest.
Not only so, but the Primordial Spiritual Energy emanating from the Iron-Eating Beast's corpse was also corroding his clothes.
He had been taking off other people's clothes every day, but now, his clothes were being stripped naked by the other party. It was as if the saying went — the heavens would not spare anyone!
It was not just his clothes. Even his skin had turned black, and fresh blood was seeping out of it! Even though his body had fused with the Heaven Origin World, it was still unable to withstand the Primordial Spiritual Energy.
Su Yin's scalp turned numb.
He knew that Primordial Chaos Ancient Beasts were powerful, but he did not think that even a corpse would be so powerful!
He was able to fight the Dragon Emperor to a draw, and yet, he was unable to put up any resistance against the other party.
Impossible!
Zhang Xuan bellowed as the River of Time flowed into his body. The Great Dao of Life and Death, Human Sovereign, Sky Sovereign, and Earth Sovereign merged with his body and clashed with the other party's claw once more.
Peng!
Su Yin was sent flying.
He had managed to fend off the other party's corrosive power, but he was still struck by the other party's violent might. His right arm was broken into several pieces, and his bones were fractured. His internal organs were severely injured.
The energy from the Saint Origin Reservoir surged into his body, healing his injuries perfectly. Su Yin narrowed his eyes.
He had not been able to withstand even a single blow from the other party.
This corpse was way too fearsome!
Was this the strength of a Primordial Chaos Ancient Beast? How did the Dragon Emperor win against it back then?
Hong long long!
While Zhang Xuan was still pondering over this matter, the Primordial Chaos Ancient Beast's corpse continued walking forward. Its overwhelming might fell upon Su Yin once more, wrapping him up like a dumpling.
…
"Father, that Su Yin has escaped. I fear that he might have already found the Primordial Chaos Ancient Beast's corpse!"
Somewhere else in the depths of the battlefield, the Xiao Shi Crown Prince looked at the golden dragon before him in confusion.
The battlefield was huge, but the other party should have been able to find the Primordial Chaos Ancient Beast with the help of the firecrackers. If he could assimilate the corpse, wouldn't he become even more powerful?
Why was his father acting as if he was oblivious to the matter? Instead of chasing after Zhang Xuan, he chose to pummel Firmament instead.
"So what if he has found it?"
The Dragon Emperor asked. "Do you think that it's that easy to assimilate the corpse of a Primordial Chaos Ancient Beast?"
The Xiao Shi Crown Prince was perplexed.
The Dragon Emperor replied, "I'm the one who snatched the firecracker from the Iron-Eating Beast, so I know it better than anyone else. It's filled with vitality, and it doesn't just revive the beast. Instead, it contains a portion of the Iron-Eating Beast's power. Once it gets close to a corpse, it'll silently channel this power into the corpse!
The Xiao Shi Crown Prince widened his eyes in astonishment.
He really didn't know about this.
The Dragon Emperor continued, "What do you think will happen when the Primordial Chaos Ancient Beast is infused with the vitality of the Primordial Chaos Ancient Beast?"
"Will it … come back to life?"
The Dragon Emperor shook his head. "Of course not. I destroyed its consciousness in the battle back then, so it's impossible for it to come back to life. However, the rich vitality of the Primordial Chaos Ancient Beast should be able to recover its strength in a short period of time. The Primordial Chaos Ancient Beast had dominated the Primordial Chaos Ancient Beast for many years, but it was killed by me. As such, it was filled with resentment. Before its death, it was sealed in its head, and it was infused with vitality. Once it was awakened, it would surely kill anyone who tried to assimilate it!
"Don't worry. With the Primordial Chaos Ancient Beast infused with primordial spiritual energy, Su Yin won't be a match for it!"
The Xiao Shi Crown Prince widened his eyes.
He turned to his father once more, and he couldn't help but feel impressed.
As expected of an existence who had dominated the Primordial Chaos Ancient Era … Everything was under his control!
No, wait a moment …
All of a sudden, he felt a chill in his heart.
The firecracker was a weapon that his father had bestowed to the Great Beast King. Back then, there was no such person as Su Yin. In other words, it was very likely that his father had left this trap for him!
If that fellow hadn't submitted wholeheartedly and had snuck into the Primordial Chaos Ancient Beast to assimilate the Primordial Chaos Ancient Beast's corpse, he would have suffered a backlash!
It turned out that he didn't even trust the Great Beast King … It was no wonder why the latter didn't seem sad at all!
"If that's the case, does that mean that Su Yin is doomed?"
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Crown Prince Xiao Shi asked doubtfully.
The Dragon Emperor nodded nonchalantly. "More or less. Unless he manages to cultivate the Primordial Chaos Ancient Body or appeases the Primordial Chaos Ancient Beast, he'll be hunted down relentlessly!"
He had personally experienced the fearsomeness of the Primordial Chaos Ancient Beast. He had brought countless tribesmen with him, but even he had nearly lost his life. Even though the young man's fighting prowess wasn't weak, he was still far from matching up to the Primordial Chaos Ancient Beast.
Moreover, there was the chaotic spiritual energy that could corrode everything!
Hearing his confirmation, Crown Prince Xiao Shi heaved a sigh of relief and asked curiously again, "Father, which ancient beast's sacred remains are we going to look for now?"
"Pixiu!"
The Dragon Monarch's eyes flashed. "Of the four chaos beasts that entered the Immortal World, Pixiu was the first, Dijiang the second, Devourer the third, and Jingwei the fourth! This final battlefield is actually the stomach of a Pi Xiu! "
Crown Prince Xiao Shi: "Stomach?"
The Dragon Monarch nodded. "The Pixiu's abdomen is a world of its own. Back then, it swallowed me and millions of tribesmen in order to kill us. If we didn't succeed in killing them, we would have been trapped in there forever!"
Understanding the tragic situation back then, Crown Prince Xiao Shi subconsciously shrank his neck.
If it were him, he might have been completely wiped out.
The Dragon Monarch continued, "If you don't believe me, you can look for some pond water. It's extremely corrosive and can even melt Rule Realm experts. This is the stomach and intestines of a Pixiu. The experts that were swallowed by this fellow were all melted by this!"
Crown Prince Xiao Shi nodded. After walking for a while, he saw a pond water. He placed his weapons in it and easily melted them.
The Dragon Monarch said, "Don't worry about it. Hurry up and look for the Pixiu's heart. I've already refined a portion of it. As long as I can refine it completely, I'll be able to refine this world. If I can fuse it with the Beast Court, there's a high chance that I'll be able to cultivate the Primal Chaos Saint Body.
Back then, he had purposely left half of his strength here to suppress the corpses of the four chaos beasts and find a way to refine this blood-colored space. Now that he had returned, it was time to reap the benefits!
"Father, you'll definitely succeed!"
Crown Prince Xiao Shi nodded.
…
Boom boom boom!
Su Yin didn't know why the Devourer was attacking him. He was dodging left and right, and it was clear that he was at his limits.
The fellow before him was simply too strong. In fact, he was even stronger than the revived Dragon Monarch. This was especially so for his physical body. No matter how strong the attacks were, they were useless. It was as if he was indestructible.
"This is the Primal Chaos Saint Body!"
Rushou's voice sounded in his ears. "This kind of physical body isn't even afraid of chaos spiritual energy. Ordinary attacks are useless against it!"
"What should I do then?"
Su Yin felt his scalp tingle.
His attacks were ineffective, and the other party's attacks were unbearable. Was he really going to become a punching bag that could only be beaten?
If that was the case, it would be too tragic!
"I don't have a choice … This is the first time I've seen a chaos beast!"
Rushou said awkwardly. "See if you can negotiate with it so that it won't attack you. Instead, it'll attack Firmament or Dragon Monarch."
Su Yin: "…"
If I had that kind of ability, I wouldn't be here getting beaten up!
"Screw it!"
Frustrated, Su Yin's eyes flashed. "True Dragon Sword, Origin Energy Pearl, Vast Origin Cauldron, Thirty-Three Levels of Heaven, Eighteen Levels of Hell, Nine Levels of Spirit Firmament Tower, Five Elements Sacred Mountain, Ao Zu, Coiling Dragon Pillar, stabilize!"
With a low shout, his physical body immediately became sturdy.
As a peak Melder, his physical body was the Dry Origin World, and the Dry Origin World was his physical body. The two were one. With so many treasures fused together, he could completely temper his body into a peerless treasure that was not weaker than the Beast Court!
He charged forward.
Your physical body is strong, but mine isn't weak either. Let's try colliding!
Boom!
The two collided. Su Yin was sent flying again like a cannonball. His body was corroded by chaos spiritual energy, and his skin was burning.
"After fusing with so many treasures, your physical body is not weaker than the Beast Court, but it's still a distance away from the Chaotic Sacred Body. Unless … you can refine the Sacred Body in front of you, or … you can refine the Beast Court!"
Rushou said.
"Do you think I can succeed in my current situation?"
Su Yin was frustrated.
Rushou wanted nothing more than to hammer him to death. It would be good enough if he could even get close to it, let alone refine it.
As for refining the Beast Court … that was even more impossible!
Unless he could kill the Dragon Monarch, he would be courting death if he ran over.
Boom boom boom!
Paying no heed to Zhang Xuan's frustration, the Iron-Eating Beast continued to charge forward with its eyes closed. Punch after punch flew toward Zhang Xuan mercilessly. It seemed like it would not stop until it killed Zhang Xuan. It was like a shark chasing after blood.
"No, that's not right … There must be something that I don't know. That fellow is already dead, so why is it still attacking me?"
Su Yin didn't continue to clash head-on. He retreated as he pondered.
The Iron-Eating Beast had been killed by the Dragon Monarch fifty thousand years ago, and it was just an ordinary corpse now. Why was it still chasing him relentlessly?
