Chapter 807: Switching Targets to Harvest the Wool
Zhang Jian left in an instant after refining the Grand Void Spirit Body.
He continued exploring upstream.
Not long after, he saw a terrifying chaotic lifeform coming from upstream.
It was a terrifying giant snake of xuanhuang color.
Zhang Jian had previously caught a fleeting glimpse of it violently entering the azure long river, and now it appeared around here.
The aura emanating from its body was now several times stronger than before, having already approached the peak of the Second Transformation Dao Venerable, rather than just entering it.
It did not detect Zhang Jian's presence; its mighty form vanished in an instant.
Zhang Jian, however, had no intention of letting it go.
This is excellent 'material' for sacrifice!
With a wave of his hand, a purple-yellow dragon-shaped immortal light streaked across the endless chaotic long river, instantly piercing the terrifying divine serpent.
Blood light burst forth; its terrifying chaotic true form shattered into two pieces.
But in an instant, it reacted, letting out a mournful screech as layers of chaotic qi were drawn toward it, preparing to release a defensive-type technique upon opening its mouth.
Majestic, vast divine power erupted from its serpent body.
Yet in the next instant, it became unable to move.
A majestic, vast furnace appeared out of nowhere above its head; heavy divine energy pressed down on every inch of its flesh and blood, even suppressing the depths of its primordial spirit.
The two severed parts of the chaotic serpent's body were instantly swept up by a massive purple-yellow vortex and merged into it.
Azure surging flames flowed outward, instantly refining this chaotic lifeform.
Boom—!
At the same time, Zhang Jian noticed that as this chaotic lifeform was refined, strands of majestic azure long river qi similarly flowed out from the depths of its primordial spirit, manifesting a phantom of the azure long river within the qi.
"Indeed!"
Seeing this, Zhang Jian's expression became clear.
He activated his Dao immortal light; the azure flames instantly expanded, thoroughly refining this azure long river light-shadow.
A majestic, vast primordial source of heaven and earth reappeared, merging into the innate creation azure lotus within his Niwan Palace, causing the sixth innate immortal divine restriction deep within the innate creation azure lotus to begin further formation.
Sensing this change, Zhang Jian's eyes brightened.
It seems the innate creation azure lotus needs these chaos lifeforms tainted by the long river to contribute more if it is to grow smoothly.
Not long after absorbing this chaotic lifeform, Zhang Jian had walked a certain distance when he again sensed several mighty qi surges emerging from upstream, flowing downstream.
This anomaly stirred Zhang Jian's heart.
The previous chaotic giant serpent heading downstream somewhere might have been a coincidence.
But now these powerful chaotic lifeforms appearing one after another are clearly no coincidence.
Observing their direction of advance, it is clearly the same direction as when he shattered the Grand Void Spirit Body and later slew the chaotic giant serpent.
Are they coming for him?
"It seems there really is a catnip inside that long river!"
Zhang Jian muttered inwardly.
A glint of coldness flashed in the depths of Zhang Jian's eyes.
Where his gaze fell, these three chaotic lifeforms had Dao cultivation and appearance similar to the chaotic giant serpent, and seemed to belong to the same species, all taking the form of giant apes, merely surrounded by a layer of intense chaotic qi.
For Zhang Jian, suppressing these Second Transformation Dao Venerable-level chaotic lifeforms is merely a matter of raising his hand.
Where his gaze fell, he saw pieces of the chaotic long river collapsing; the three chaotic lifeforms had not yet realized what happened when a terrifying purple-yellow dragon-shaped immortal light already surrounded them, majestic divine power evolving into a great cauldron furnace that suppressed the three chaotic lifeforms.
Strands of azure flames erupted once more.
As Zhang Jian expected, strands of azure long river phantom manifested deep within the brows of these three chaotic apes.
However, Zhang Jian also noticed that the azure long river phantom power deep within the brows of these three chaotic apes was not as strong as that of the chaotic giant serpent.
The azure long river coiling within the primordial spirit of the chaotic giant serpent was not as strong as his Grand Void Spirit Body.
There is still a hierarchy within.
Soon, three strands of pure primordial source of heaven and earth emerged from the unseen void above, merging into the depths of Zhang Jian's Niwan Palace, making the innate azure lotus source deep within his brow clearly advance further.
However, the formation of the sixth innate immortal divine restriction still lacks a little.
But this visible progress has greatly increased Zhang Jian's interest.
Since that unknown expert wants to mobilize their subordinates' chaotic lifeforms to besiege him, he might as well seize the opportunity to harvest a wave of their 'leeches'!
With these chaotic lifeforms contributing, he can avoid the trouble of entering the human-demon battlefield to fight to the death.
He transformed into a dark shadow and directly began harvesting batches of chaotic lifeforms that kept arriving from the outskirts.
Relying on his superb cultivation and decisive methods, he can always end battles in a short time, giving these chaotic lifeform hordes no chance to swarm and attack together.
And not long after, his innate creation azure lotus used these strands of transformed primordial source to let the sixth innate immortal divine restriction evolve into form.
To say it evolved is not entirely accurate.
It is more like a restoration.
But if he wishes to let the innate creation azure lotus condense the seventh innate immortal divine restriction and break through the limit of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the difficulty has suddenly increased greatly.
He has slain over ten chaotic lifeforms tainted by the azure long river, yet this only allowed the seventh innate immortal divine restriction to just give birth to a phantom.
Zhang Jian realizes this seventh innate immortal divine restriction is likely an extremely important watershed.
Even if it is difficult, Zhang Jian will not let this opportunity pass.
At the same time, Zhang Jian noticed that as time passes, the number of chaotic lifeforms entering this region of the chaotic long river is increasing.
The more there are, the less controllable space he has.
Especially since there are also formidable giants among them.
He must fight quickly and decisively, harvesting as many chaotic lifeforms as possible; otherwise, once the number of chaotic lifeforms reaches a certain proportion, he will have no chance.
……
At the center of the Chaotic River, there now crouched a terrifying chaotic lifeform.
It was a massive turtle-shaped chaotic lifeform.
Its true form was extraordinarily huge; even in the most turbulent part of the Chaotic River, it was like a reef, and the vast scouring of the Chaotic River could not shake its form, which stood hundreds of millions of zhang tall, its aura vast and boundless.
Yet it had two heads, each bearing unique horns, and countless chaotic evil qi permeated its body.
Xuanhuang-colored chaotic light flowed across its back, making it seem perfectly merged with the Chaotic River, but upon closer inspection, its back bore hundreds or thousands of pitch-black eyes that sent chills down the spine.
At this moment, those black eyes burst forth with layers of chaotic divine light, as if illuminating the immeasurable Chaotic River stretching for hundreds of millions of li; even the power of the Chaotic River could not obscure its gaze.
This was a supreme Dao-level chaotic lifeform.
It, too, had responded to the river's call, coming from upstream.
Compared to other chaotic lifeforms affected and turned into utter chaos, it possessed considerable spiritual intelligence.
At this moment, it hid here, continually gathering the chaotic lifeforms rushing in from around, to increase search efficiency.
At this moment, one of its heads transmitted a pleasant female voice.
"Too many chaotic offspring have fallen; the Mother God is already enraged. If anyone can slay that lifeform, they will surely obtain the Mother God's will scroll. We must find that lifeform and not let other lifeforms get ahead!"
Another voice, lofty and majestic, sounded.
"It's probably difficult; even with our two gods' divine powers, we cannot lock onto his true form—that expert's spiritual sense is extraordinarily keen!"
"I observe he seems to be intentionally hunting us; we must be more cautious!"
"Perhaps we should move our position in advance!"
Upon hearing this, one head lifted, its emerald-green pupils flashing with an extraordinarily demonic radiance.
"Long Xuan, you're still as timid as ever—even having become a chaotic demon god, you're still disappointing. We command so many chaotic lifeforms, and we have the Mother God's granted means; why should we fear him!"
Upon hearing this, that majestic voice remained calm and unhurried.
"Long Xiu, in the depths of the Chaotic Origin Sea, powerful chaotic demon gods are numerous, and even intruders from other chaoses have arrived. Caution is a necessary quality; only by staying alive can we possibly find a way to break free from the Mother God's control!"
Upon hearing this, the other dragon head coldly snorted.
"You're still so naive—I'm tired of your caution. If we followed my plan, directly penetrating deep into the Mother God's innermost depths, we might not fail to gain more of her authority! And unlike now, even the downstream wolf cubs have already gotten ahead of us, yet we still have to avoid their spotlight!"
It was extremely dissatisfied.
The wolf cubs referred to were the terrifying divine wolf far downstream in the Chaotic River, whose divine form was extraordinarily vast and majestic.
That chaotic giant wolf was ferocious beyond compare, possessing divine energy capable of devouring everything.
It was also one of the three terrifying demon gods ruling over the endless chaotic lifeforms in this region.
It spoke impatiently.
"Whether it's about becoming stronger, through what means—what difference does it make? You don't realize that, according to your idea, aren't you actually controlled by another existence?"
The two heads argued loudly.
But at this moment, the two stopped arguing, even appearing somewhat nervous.
Long Xiu hesitated for a moment, then said.
"We should still leave this place; perhaps you're right!"
At this moment, within the countless pores covering the double-headed turtle's body, suddenly, a great change appeared in the distant depths of the Chaotic River.
A terrifying golden light shot out from afar, instantly cleaving the supreme Dao-level chaotic demon wolf in two.
Then, sword shadows emerged from the spot, like a swimming dragon sweeping across.
The chaotic demon wolf's body, forged through countless tempests of chaotic demon god energy, seemed as if it could be torn apart at any moment by chaotic qi, and was severed into more than ten sections.
The double-headed turtle had never seen such a terrifying existence before.
This terrifying chaotic demon god, hundreds of millions of zhang tall, shrank suddenly in fear, its form drastically reducing into a wisp of chaotic qi that merged into the depths of the Chaotic River.
This turtle truly lacked courage.
Upon seeing that it could contend with the chaotic demon wolf being slain, it decisively fled, bearing no dignity of a supreme Dao-level expert, instead acting like ordinary cultivators.
However, its departure was correct.
Although it hid very secretly, it had in fact already been noticed by Zhang Jian.
Only because he considered that turtles generally have special defensive means, and worried that killing this giant turtle would take too long, he chose the chaotic demon wolf instead.
At this moment, above a vast stretch of the Chaotic River, Zhang Jian calmly summoned the Earth Emperor's Crucible, taking the corpse of the chaotic demon wolf into it.
He swept his gaze over the battlefield; his eyes held some calm.
Slaying a being equivalent to a supreme Daoist who had achieved the Peak of the Path was, for him, fundamentally not difficult.
Moreover, he had used an innate supreme treasure.
Just two swords, and he had completed the slaying.
At the same time, Zhang Jian also sensed that, with the chaotic demon wolf slain, the double-headed turtle he had first targeted had already fled with the momentum.
This made him feel some regret.
This is all the origin of heaven and earth!
At this moment, as the chaotic demon wolf's true form was refined, a near-substantial azure celestial river emerged from within, but instantly was entwined by the all-encompassing azure sacrificial fire.
Streams of extraordinarily rich heavenly and earthly origin then flowed into his body.
This heavenly and earthly origin exceeded the combined total of the dozens of chaotic lifeforms he had slain before.
The seventh innate indestructible divine prohibition naturally formed thereafter.
A thick omen of chaotic anomaly appeared on his body surface.
Zhang Jian suppressed this omen; at this moment, a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes.
It looks like, for now, he'll have to switch targets to fleece!
