He wanted to refine the other party, but he hadn't even started yet.
Recalling everything that had happened since he arrived here, his eyes fell on the firecracker stuck in the ground.
The artifact was devouring the chaotic spiritual energy of the corpse and growing slowly. As it came back to life, its vitality grew even stronger. It seemed to have formed a special energy exchange with the Iron-Eating Beast's corpse.
"This thing is providing vitality to the corpse!"
Su Yin's scalp went numb. He instantly understood what was going on.
No wonder the Dragon Emperor had stopped chasing him. After all, he had already guessed that this would happen. As expected, those who had survived since the ancient times were all old fools. The slightest carelessness would put him in a passive position.
"Break!"
After realizing what was going on, Su Yin gritted his teeth and charged toward the spatial rift.
The barrier shook, and faint green ripples appeared on it, but not a single crack appeared. The space that the Iron-Eating Beast had sealed him in was abnormally sturdy. It was even stronger than any seal he had seen in the Celestial World.
Ignoring his charge, the Iron-Eating Beast charged at him again and rained punches and kicks on him. He felt as if he had encountered the Dragon God.
In his panic, his body was hit by the corrosive energy again. It seeped into his skin, into his body, and into the Dry Origin World. It destroyed the land, the sea, and countless trees.
Su Yin's face turned pale.
If he couldn't escape, he couldn't stop the firecracker. This way, his vitality would be endless. The Chaos Beast before him would keep fighting.
It wouldn't trap him here until he died, would it?
"It's not that there's no other way. If there's really no other way, you can do what the Dragon Emperor did. Sacrifice living beings … to forge a treasure like the Dragon God Whip!"
Rushou's eyes flashed as he said, "The Dry Origin World doesn't only have believers of the Firmament Realm. You also brought a lot of people from the Five Elemental Sacred Ground and the Human Emperor Sacred Ground. Although they aren't as strong as the Dragon Race, it should be enough to sacrifice a few billion!"
After the Dry Origin World was completely stabilized, it was much safer than the Human Emperor Sacred Ground. Su Yin had taken most of the experts of the Human Emperor Sacred Ground into it.
In other words, the Dry Origin World was like a real world. There were tens of billions of cultivators living in it.
If he really wanted to sacrifice them, it was more than enough.
Su Yin shook his head. "What's the difference between you and the Dragon Emperor?"
Those were all fresh lives. To sacrifice so many just for himself … he really couldn't bring himself to do it!
Rushou tried to dissuade him. "Now is not the time to be soft-hearted. You can only sacrifice a few billion at most. Nine out of ten people will survive. If you die, the Dry Origin Realm will shatter, and everyone will die!"
Su Yin still shook his head. "There must be another way …"
Strictly speaking, he wasn't qualified to be an ambitious and ruthless person. He was just an 18-year-old youth!
Bearing the faith of the 36 teachers, they hoped that they could lead the human race to greater heights. Humans were destined to triumph over the heavens. They couldn't even wait to protect themselves, so how could they take the initiative to kill others?
If he really did that, his Dao Heart would not be able to withstand it and would directly collapse.
Seeing that he was insistent, Ruan said no more.
If it were him, he wouldn't be able to do it either.
Otherwise, the five elements would have merged long ago, and Gong Gong and the others would have been devoured long ago.
"Sigh!"
Ruan Shou sighed, knowing that this youth might not be able to withstand the bombardment of the Iron-Eating Beasts. He shook his head and was trying to think of another way when he suddenly sensed that the five elements in the Dry Origin Realm had become somewhat chaotic and uncontrollable.
He took a look and couldn't help but shout, "Su Yin, look …"
"What's wrong?" The youth also split a strand of his consciousness to take a look. Then, he was stunned and filled with disbelief. "H-how is this possible!"
… …
… …
What appeared before him was a sea of fiery red, like the rosy clouds of dusk. The image of a divine bird hovered in the air, radiating scorching heat.
A young girl flew below the image, as if she was enduring some kind of pain. A pair of huge wings had appeared on her back at some point, and the bloodline in her body seemed to be activated by something and kept boiling.
"Gu Ling 'er?"
Su Yin recognized her.
It was the girl he had met in the Dry Origin Realm, Gu Yunqiu's disciple, Gu Ling 'er!
This young girl had always been mischievous, and she had left a deep impression on him. Moreover, she was born with immortal bones and was extremely talented. Later on, when he brought her to the Celestial World, she had improved quickly. After that … he didn't pay much attention to her. How did she suddenly break through?
It seemed like she had activated some kind of bloodline?
He frowned. Then, he saw streams of corrosive energy being devoured by the young girl. This was the source of the bloodline's evolution.
Su Yin shuddered in disbelief. "Chaos spiritual energy? She … she can actually absorb this kind of energy? "
When he crashed into the rift earlier, the Iron-Eating Beasts had ambushed him, and some of the Chaos spiritual energy had entered the Dry Origin Realm. He had been fighting all this time, so he didn't have time to digest it. He didn't expect the young girl to absorb it and activate her bloodline!
Even a ninth-rank Saint like him would be stripped naked if he came into contact with it. Why was the young girl … not only was she fine, but she had also become stronger?
And what was that divine bird above her head?
"It seems to be … the bloodline of a Chaos Ancient Beast!"
Rushou couldn't help but exclaim.
This was the only explanation for now. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the young girl was not affected by the Chaos spiritual energy that even Su Yin was wary of. On the contrary, she had become stronger.
With a thought, Su Yin recalled Gu Yunqiu's introduction of this disciple.
She was born in the Spirit Abyss Long River and was born with an Immortal Bone … However, when she arrived in the Celestial World, no cultivator or clan with a similar bloodline was found!
The Spirit Abyss Long River had flowed for ten thousand years, but no Immortal had come down. How did an infant like her come down?
He didn't think much of it at the time, but now that he thought about it, something was indeed wrong.
Could it be that … she didn't come from the Celestial World, but was born in the chaos outside the Celestial World, and was sent to the Dry Origin Realm by the Spirit Abyss Long River by coincidence?
As for the Immortal Bone … they didn't know anything about the Primal Chaos Saint Constitution, so they assumed that it was beyond the Pseudo Immortal Realm.
"I'll know if that's the case after I try!"
These thoughts flashed across Su Yin's mind. He stopped evading and started devouring the Chaos spiritual energy that the young girl was emitting.
In an instant, he felt as if his meridians were being corroded by concentrated sulfuric acid. He felt like his meridians would be torn apart at any moment.
Suppressing the discomfort, he brought the energy above Gu Ling 'er.
The young girl was like a cat that smelled blood when she sensed the energy. She could no longer hold back and rushed over with a flap of her wings.
Like a whale taking in water, she devoured all the Chaos spiritual energy in the air.
Gugugugu!
Her aura grew stronger and stronger as if it had triggered some kind of change.
She had only been in the Celestial World for two days, and she had barely reached the Golden Immortal realm. Now that her bloodline had been activated, her shackles were instantly broken.
In just ten breaths, she went from early-stage Golden Immortal to peak Quasi-Sage.
Boom!
She broke through to the Saint realm.
Rank one!
Rank two!
Rank three …
As she absorbed more and more Chaos spiritual energy, the young girl grew stronger and stronger. Her black hair and clothes fluttered in the wind, as if she would tear apart the shackles of the Dry Origin Realm at any moment.
"She really does have the bloodline of a Chaos Ancient Beast!"
There was no other explanation other than this for her to be able to absorb Chaos spiritual energy and strengthen her cultivation.
Su Yin clenched his fists in excitement.
He had thought that he would be doomed this time, but who would have thought that the young girl of the Dry Origin Realm would possess the bloodline of a Chaos Ancient Beast!
With a thought, he brought Gu Ling 'er out of the Dry Origin Realm and landed in front of the Iron-Eating Beast.
Tzzzzz!
Gu Ling 'er opened all the acupoints in her body at the same time and absorbed the surrounding Chaos spiritual energy like a sponge that had been dried up for many years.
Her strength did not increase by much, but her physical body grew stronger and stronger, even surpassing Su Yin's.
However, compared to the Iron-Eating Beast before her, she was still far too weak.
While Gu Ling 'er was making a breakthrough, the Iron-Eating Beast that was attacking Su Yin seemed to have sensed something and slowly came to a stop.
Knowing that it might be a reaction between the bloodlines of a Chaos Ancient Beast, Su Yin heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly drew energy from the Saint Origin Pool to heal his injuries.
Not only was he injured, but his physical body was also severely corroded. There were wounds all over his body.
It took him more than ten breaths to fully recover. He exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and was about to check on the young girl when she opened her eyes and blushed.
"…"
Su Yin was taken aback. Then, he felt so embarrassed that he wished that there was a hole in the ground that he could crawl into.
The Chaos Spiritual Energy earlier was so terrifying that it had corroded all of his clothes. Since there was no one around, and the Iron-Eating Beast did not give him a chance to, he did not put them on.
At this moment, he was only focused on healing his injuries. It was as if he was standing naked in front of her …
With a thought, a set of clothes appeared on his body and covered his entire body.
After dispelling the awkwardness, Su Yin asked, "Do you have the bloodline of a Chaos Ancient Beast?"
"Yes!"
Gu Ling 'er nodded. "The Chaos Spiritual Energy I absorbed earlier activated my bloodline and allowed me to inherit some memories. If I'm not mistaken, I should have … the bloodline of the elite guards!"
"Elite guards?"
Su Yin was puzzled.
Gu Ling 'er said, "They are as famous as the Iron-Eating Beast, Pixiu, and Dijiang. Back then, the Dragon Emperor fought with them here!"
Realization dawned on Su Yin.
Although he knew about the Four Great Primordial Beasts, this was the first time he had heard their names. He did not expect the girl to have the bloodline of one of them.
It was no wonder the Iron-Eating Beast had stopped. After the Chaos Spiritual Energy was absorbed, it sensed the strength of its companion and naturally stopped attacking.
Su Yin was curious. "Have you … cultivated the Sacred Chaos Body?"
Since she could absorb Chaos Spiritual Energy and possessed unfathomable strength, did that mean that she had already cultivated the Sacred Chaos Body?
It was said that the Sacred Chaos Body was something that Chaos Ancient Beasts were born with. It was what gave them the confidence to roam the heavens.
Gu Ling 'er shook her head. "Not yet. After I was born, I came to the Celestial World and was not nourished by the Chaos Spiritual Energy. I'm still a distance away from the Sacred Chaos Body. Unless … I can enter the Chaos Sea or … find the corpse of the elite guards and refine it."
Su Yin was curious. "The Chaos Sea?"
Gu Ling 'er said, "The Chaos Sea is boundless and filled with Chaos Spiritual Energy. The Celestial World floats in it like a bubble floating in the sea. Without the Sacred Chaos Body, one would immediately melt upon entering it …"
Soon, Su Yin understood.
It was similar to what Rushou and the others had said.
The Immortal Realm was most likely a realm left behind by a super expert. Only then could it nurture life and nurture cultivators. As for the Chaos, it was the foundation of everything. As long as one's cultivation was not high enough, it would be melted and turned into Spiritual Qi that spread throughout the world.
As for the Chaos Ancient Beasts, they were born to live in the Chaos Sea. That was why the girl before him could absorb Chaos Spiritual Energy without getting injured. That was why the firecrackers were greener and grew better.
"Then … can this Iron-Eating Ancient Beast be refined?"
After chatting for a while, Su Yin gained a deeper understanding of the Chaos Sea, so he asked nervously.
The Iron-Eating Ancient Beast's corpse alone was enough to make him unable to fight back. If he could refine it and make it a part of him, his strength would increase exponentially!
"Of course. However, it's incompatible with my bloodline, so I can't use it. You, on the other hand, have a world, so you can fuse with any energy. How about this? I'll teach you how to refine it and help you. The Iron-Eating Ancient Beast might not be the strongest of the Four Primordial Beasts, but its physical body is the strongest. Once you succeed, even if you can't cultivate the Sacred Chaos Body, you won't be far from it! "
Gu Ling 'er said with a smile.
"That would be great …" Su Yin did not stand on ceremony with her.
The Dragon Monarch and Firmament were going to hunt him down at any moment. Naturally, they would not sacrifice the lives of countless humans for the sake of their reputation.
Gu Ling 'er waved her hand, and the Chaos Spiritual Energy in her body shrouded the Iron-Eating Ancient Beast's corpse. The latter seemed to have sensed something, and a gratified look appeared on its face. With a whoosh, it dived into the Dry Origin World and exploded.
Following which, Su Yin felt a sliver of will entering his head. It contained the cultivation method of the Sacred Chaos Body.
He quickly focused his attention on absorbing the energy from the Iron-Eating Ancient Beast's corpse.
His muscles, internal organs, cells, and even his soul were undergoing a metamorphosis.
Hong long long!
After assimilating the Beast Core of the Great Beast King, Zhang Xuan's world grew to a size of a hundred and twenty million li.
A hundred and thirty million!
A hundred and forty million!
A hundred and fifty million …
In less than ten breaths, Zhang Xuan's world grew to a size of two hundred million li!
It slowly came to a halt. The Iron-Eating Ancient Beast's skin and bones formed a sturdy barrier around Zhang Xuan like a tortoise shell.
Zhang Xuan grabbed at the air, and a stream of Chaos Spiritual Energy came to his palm and flowed through his meridians again.
Previously, a dent would appear on his meridians upon contact. Zhen Yuan could not resist it. Now, it could not hurt him at all. Instead, it gave him a sense of warmth.
"This …"
Su Yin's eyes lit up, and his body trembled with excitement.
At this moment, no matter how stupid he was, he understood that the Iron-Eating Ancient Beast's corpse had been completely refined.
His current cultivation was still at the peak of the Body Melder realm, but his strength had more than doubled. Especially his defense, the space seemed to be unable to withstand his every move.
Previously, a firecracker would also injure his body, but now, he could easily tear it apart.
He flew forward and grabbed at the air. A big hole appeared in the spatial barrier that he could not break even with all his strength.
"So strong!"
Su Yin clenched his fists and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.
With this kind of strength, even the Dragon Monarch with the Beast Court might not be a match for him.
