Chapter 58 Out of sight, out of mind, done in seconds
Xiong Zhou retrieved a crystal emitting a dark, fiery light from the converged torrent of heaven and earth and stuffed it into a partially solidified magma block floating beside him.
"boom!"
Sparks flew one after another, and flames flowed one after another. Some of the solidified magma boiled up completely, becoming unusually active, and even giving Xiong Zhou a feeling that it was extremely spiritual and was about to come to life.
He quickly activated [Innate Divine Power: ■ (Pixel Cube)] to make the cube float further away from him.
After waiting for several hundred breaths, the dark, fiery crystals completely subsided within the lava block, becoming part of it.
Xiong Zhou activated his innate divine power and opened the information panel of the magma cube.
【authority:??
Level: Fourth Stage of Spirit Refinement; Progress: Lv.4 (??/??)
Status: Incomplete (??/??)
Special: Spiritual defilement, calamities follow, and the path is murky. 4. Mixed legal principles: A jumble of fragmented legal principles has been fused together, resulting in a chaotic mess. 5. Sublimation of chaos: Within the chaotic laws of heaven and earth, signs of the sublimation of authority have appeared (requires the fusion of more legal principles).
Good heavens, could this haphazard fusion somehow become a special kind of completion?
Xiong Zhou stared at the [Chaos Ascension] and clicked his tongue in amazement.
Staring at the magma block that had stabilized again, he shook his head, no longer focusing on the chaotic and indescribable intertwining forces, but instead concentrating on the newly added "materials".
"It's the explosive principle from the Fire elemental theory; no wonder it made the lava blocks boil."
Xiong Zhou recognized the affiliation of the newly integrated principles of heaven and earth, and began to dismantle these principles along the interwoven Dao patterns within them, transforming them into nourishment for his own abundant power.
One day later, the Tai Li Refining Method showed a slight improvement.
The progress bar for the derivation method increases by 1.
"Continue... continue..."
'
"As long as I have enough suitable cultivation resources, I can still make rapid progress on my own."
Xiong Zhou encouraged himself in his heart.
"Before I came in, there seemed to be nearly fifty ferocious beasts and strange creatures outside the battlefield whose essence was similar to the fourth level of Qi Refining. As long as they set foot on this battlefield, I should be able to scavenge some of their remaining spiritual essence when they fell."
Although it might seem a bit like eating blood-soaked buns, it just smells so good.
These remaining fragments of spirituality, condensed upon passing through this battlefield, instantly transformed into precious bones that possessed a certain probability of formation only after the fall of an immortal being that had undergone a metamorphosis.
With a little more manipulation, he can create a fully opened diagram of the Dao of Heaven and Earth that can be preserved for a long time.
Even though it is incomplete, and mostly incomplete, it is still an immortal being's understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, the way of heaven and earth, and all things in heaven and earth, and is of great reference value.
Within the Tai Li Immortal Sect, there is no such cultivation resource that is only at the fourth level of the Refinement Realm, which he can freely comprehend and rearrange the Dao patterns according to his own will, transforming them into abundant spiritual nourishment for himself.
"My will to conquer mountains and seas and my sudden impulse were right; this battlefield is indeed destined for me."
"As for whether it aligns with my principles of abundance or conforms to my path... as long as it provides me with resources, I can make do with it."
"I'm not picky. Besides, once my cultivation level improves, there's always a chance to modify it and incorporate my abundant legal principles into this battlefield."
His gaze grew even brighter. After tidying up, he immediately steered the vast world towards the next location on the constantly updated map where a red dot would light up.
While Xiong Zhou was happily scavenging for loot on the "dark side of the battlefield," on the "front side of the battlefield"...
The situation has also changed.
Zhu Yan was injured, and drops of blood mixed with gray light dripped from his arm.
His expression remained unchanged as he tossed the severed head onto the corpse on the ground, quietly waiting for the battlefield to extract all the principles and nutrients, condensing them into resources.
"The fifth one of my kind has died. And there are still immortal beings left. Do they want to fight me?"
A slightly mocking laugh came from Zhu Yan's mouth, carrying a certain intimidating intent as he looked down at the many beasts outside the battlefield.
The four-tailed crocodile stuck out its tongue, licked its sharp teeth, and chuckled, "Zhu Yan monkey, you seemed to have said before that on this battlefield, the victor takes all, and the loser loses everything, right?"
"What if we all swarm you and divide you up?"
"It seems to be within the permitted range?"
On the body of the four-tailed crocodile, a falcon with black, white and dark blood intertwined, its eyes like arrows, was fixed on Zhu Yan.
"Zhu Yan, your expression seems to have changed slightly. Did the Four-Tailed Fox guess right?"
"Could it really be like this? There are no restrictions, as long as you can win."
""
The falcon's sharp gaze turned sinister, his words blunt and probing.
Zhu Yan swallowed the resources and raised his arm to beckon to them.
"Come, kill me, and devour me."
In the next instant, six ferocious beasts, each carrying a different aura but also incredibly violent, stepped onto the battlefield.
The strange fish with three snake heads roared angrily: "You were inside the secret realm, wielding that Five Elements Spiritual Essence. We were afraid you would perish together with us. Now you can't escape."
"
A ferocious beast with the head of a bull, the body of a leopard, and the tail of a snake roared, "Just as you said, I will devour you!"
The six-armed chimpanzee with compound eyes chuckled, "I want to eat monkey brains...delicious..."
The other three ferocious beasts remained silent, but their profound savagery and bloodlust spoke volumes.
The world suddenly fell silent.
The next moment, various different Dao patterns of heaven and earth spread all over the six ferocious beasts, and huge blood energy of different colors rose up. One after another, streams of light of different natures shot towards Zhu Yan like arrows.
This is a special, semi-natural formation, already in the rudiments of an array, with additional blessings from the laws of heaven and earth, slightly enhancing the power of the six ferocious beasts.
"brush!"
Zhu Yan's pupils widened. Having never encountered such a special method before, he was caught completely off guard.
One after another, streaks of light pierced through his limbs, creating one gruesome bloody hole after another. The blood, tinged with gray light, splattered across the battlefield, mixing with the blood of the dead beasts.
"Die!"
"Your offal must be incredibly delicious!"
A rabbit with wings resembling those of a bat opened its bizarrely large mouth, nearly 270 degrees, and lunged at the Zhu Yan, seemingly determined to devour it alive while it was still alive.
The other five ferocious beasts also attacked simultaneously, their claws, fangs, paws, and spells all extremely powerful and deadly.
Outside the battlefield, the immortal beings who had never set foot on this floating, ominous, and calamity-filled region were also restless, seemingly eager to immediately descend upon the battlefield, to grab a share of the spoils and seize the opportunities and fortune.
At this critical moment, in this seemingly hopeless situation, Zhu Yan's lips curled up. Ignoring everything else, he focused all his strength on the rabbit with bat-like wings, straightening his body and swinging his fist.
"Bang!"
A streak of blood-red light scattered.
Zhu Yan did not die. On the contrary, the rabbit, which resembled a bat's wing, was sent flying by his punch. He casually tore off half of the bat's wing, along with half a thick piece of rabbit fur.
As for the other five ferocious beasts, they disappeared.
They vanished without a trace on this battlefield filled with ominousness and calamity.
"You look like a monster?"
"So you want to eat my internal organs?"
With a sinister grin, Zhu Yan stuffed the half-bat wing in his hand into his mouth and chewed it slowly. Wisps of fire shot from the corners of his mouth, carrying a heavy, charred smell that spread silently.
"Your wings taste delicious too."
"Would you like some to try?"
The beast's expression changed.
The other immortal beings outside the battlefield, who had never entered it, also paled.
This turn of events was completely beyond their expectations.
The black deer, its body entwined with emerald vines, seemed to have noticed something and immediately shouted, "The space has changed! Zhu Yan has moved the other five ferocious beasts that were besieging him to other locations!"
The expressions of the other animals changed again.
Spatial manipulation, void-based spells, and void-based Dao patterns—not a single immortal being present had successfully mastered them.
The vast majority of immortal beings, even those who have undergone a transformation at this level, have a life essence similar to the fourth level of cultivation. The laws of heaven and earth they have mastered are mostly the most common Five Elements laws, and even then, only a small branch of them.
The laws of the void are not just rare; without sufficient comprehension, it is impossible to grasp them. Even if one possesses a void-type bloodline and supernatural powers, at most one can become an immortal being, with no possibility of undergoing a fourth transformation.
In the realm of mountains and seas, there are countless beings who possess such rare spells and supernatural powers, and it seems that none of them have undergone fewer than six transformations.
"Zhu Yan is now invincible. In a one-on-one fight, within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles, no living being can rival him, unless a totem leaves the divine realm and personally takes action against him."
"But that's unlikely. The Wolf King of Moon Wolf Mountain hasn't made his move yet, and he's already stated that he wants this treasure."
"Within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles, no totem dares to appear in person and cause trouble under the nose of that Wolf King."
Some beasts looked towards Moon Wolf Mountain, wanting to know the wolf king's attitude.
But this sacred mountain was rather quiet, eerie and terrifying, giving all the beasts the feeling that the Wolf King was plotting something.
After a moment of silence, Black Deer muttered to himself, "Let's wait and see what happens next. Zhu Yan's ability must be based on this battlefield. Those five ferocious beasts should not be dead yet."
The beasts outside the battlefield now all looked at Zhu Yan, watching him gradually force the E's beasts, slowly diminishing their life force.
The appearances of the other five ferocious beasts have slowly faded from my memory. Having been tricked by Zhu Yan, even if they are not dead now, their future death is inevitable.
Xiong Zhou looked at the five ferocious beasts that suddenly appeared not far away, his eyes filled with a hint of curiosity.
The fact that even ferocious beasts can find their way here shows that their ability to observe all things and judge the laws of nature is almost on par with that of the outer disciples of the Immortal Sect.
But soon, Xiong Zhou rejected his previous idea.
These five ferocious beasts couldn't even catch up with the outer disciples of the Immortal Sect. They must have gotten to this place by relying on the power of this battlefield filled with ominousness and disaster.
"Mortal beings?"
"You insignificant ant, barely big enough to fill a tooth gap, tell me, what kind of place is this?!"
The chimpanzee, with six arms and compound eyes, roared loudly at Xiong Zhou, emitting wisps of a nauseating stench.
"No need to ask, just take it and eat it."
"What could a mere mortal know? It's just a coincidence that I came here."
The strange fish with three snake heads looked at Xiong Zhou, grew a neck, and bit directly at his location.
The other four ferocious beasts had no objections. Even the chimpanzee with six arms and compound eyes only regretted not acting first to snatch the wild snack.
"Splash..."
'
"Bang!"
The strange fish with three snake heads was smashed apart by the torrent that left its mark, turning into a pile of fragments. Before it could even scream, it completely lost its life.
"call?"
[Such a weak immortal being; is its understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, its comprehension of the Way of Heaven and Earth, merely a barely superficial grasp?]
Xiong Zhou muttered a complaint under his breath.
Then, he glanced at the four immortal beings who were trembling all over, their expressions filled with terror, yet they dared not make a sound.
"Waaah."
[Never mind, let's leave it at that.]
The vast expanse of heaven and earth, numbering in the hundreds of millions, wove a projection of a plain behind Xiong Zhou, with a minimalist style that seemed somewhat out of place in the art style of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
In the dim light, the four ferocious beasts could see real vegetation growing in the squares, see pieces of metal minerals, notice handfuls of pixelated wheat growing, sprouting, and drooping until fully mature, and hear a rustling sound carrying a peaceful and serene Daoist rhythm.
It is like a tiny, yet perfectly legal and real world.
Suddenly, this small, real world collapsed.
"No!"
"Senior, spare my life!"
"I'm useful, very useful!"
"After I die, you will be afflicted with misfortune!"
The four ferocious beasts roared, their faces contorted in rage, and scattered in all directions, attempting to seize a sliver of hope, while trying to dissuade Xiong Zhou with their words.
However, Xiong Zhou's expression remained unchanged, and the pixelated plain behind him continued to fall at the same speed, covering an area of tens of thousands of miles.
"boom!"
The earth shook violently, and the entire battlefield trembled repeatedly.
Five streams of calamity energy of different colors gradually rose and converged on the bear boat.
But halfway there, a magma block intercepted it, merging the five different calamities into itself, bursting forth with streaks of blood-red light, but with no possibility of affecting or involving the bear boat itself.
Looking at the laws and nutrients that had been reassembled on the battlefield, he had no thoughts and simply threw them into the lava block.
Xiong Zhou has not yet attained immortality, nor has he achieved the highest position in the world of mountains and seas. He is truly indifferent to certain barbarians from beyond the borders who have no trace of civilization, and has no intention of educating them.
So there's nothing more to say; out of sight, out of mind.
seconds.
