Chapter 603: Three sources, all gathered?!

Nine Nether Dao Master, a powerhouse who once competed for the Divine Emperor with the Luo Emperor.

Although he was defeated, the Dao Palace he left behind was still full of dangers.

Although Zhao Xing and Du Yun understood that this place was not controlled by the Year Beast, they had no good way to think of it for a while.

Explore it yourself? If you walk around randomly, you might die, not to mention there is the Year Beast staring at you, so you can only do it slowly.

After a few days, Zhao Xing began to urge Du Yun:

"Brother Du, you recover faster; if you drag it on for too long, the Year Beast will be unhappy, and it's hard to say if it will eat both of us."

Du Yun was a bit melancholy: "I never thought that one day I would be treated as food, and the kind that is kept in captivity."

Zhao Xing was indifferent: "You have experienced too little; you don't know that Divine Venerable Qing Qing Qing Yu Zi has not only been a meat cow, but also had a brand put on him, and later worked hard to upgrade, and finally became someone else's mount."

"You have to learn from him and look at it openly."

Du Yun's gossip fire was burning: "Uncle Master has experienced such things."

"Of course, he turned into a demon cow with the Hou Hou Hou Hou Hou Bian Method, and as a result, he was taken away by the demon catchers."

"Oh? Uncle Master Qing Qing Qing Yu Zi didn't defend himself?"

"What's the use? People don't care if you are a Minister of Agriculture or a real demon; in the Five Emperor era, most of the time they regarded the demon race as enemies. In short, it's a merit."

"And then?"

"Later he was mistaken for an Earthly Advantage School Minister of Agriculture and sent to dig mines."

"Pfft~" Du Yun's laughter and the sound of cutting meat sounded at the same time.

Du Yun couldn't laugh anymore.

Zhao Xing grabbed two pieces of meat and put them into the incense wood food box, then patted Du Yun on the shoulder to show comfort.

Then he walked towards the square, because the Year Beast had returned and was constantly staring over here.

The reason Zhao Xing was so conscious was mainly because he felt that he had to cut Du Yun's meat for it to eat anyway.

Why couldn't he make the Year Beast eat happily?

Maybe if he coaxed the Year Beast happily, he could find out some information.

"Respected Year Beast Lord, your food is here."

"You are not bad." For Zhao Xing's understanding, the Year Beast expressed great satisfaction.

Zhao Xing not only cut the meat, but also specially made a food box with divine tree materials, which could not only keep the flesh and blood fresh, but the food box itself could stimulate its appetite.

"Slurp~" The Year Beast's tongue rolled, and it swallowed Du Yun's flesh and blood in one bite.

It narrowed its eyes comfortably, enjoying the delicious food.

However, after a while, it opened its eyes and said with slight dissatisfaction: "Cook, why is it so little?"

Zhao Xing didn't mind the Year Beast's address to him and said respectfully: "Year Beast Lord, please forgive me, this is indeed our fault; the recovery is too slow, next time I will definitely bring more."

The Year Beast's dissatisfaction immediately dissipated; perhaps because it felt the aura that made it feel close, it found this cook very pleasing to the eye.

"Whoosh~"

The Year Beast wagged its tail, left from the other end of the square, and drilled into the heavy black storm.

Zhao Xing returned to the green grassland in thought, prepared some food supplement materials from the world within his body, and then repaired Du Yun's injuries with divine needles,

and urged the growth of flesh and blood.

"I see you communicating with the Year Beast; did you find out any news?"

"No, how could it be that fast? It's complaining that I cut off too little."

"I—" Du Yun was speechless.

"You recover faster; if the time drags on for too long, the Year Beast will be unhappy, and it's hard to say if it will eat both of us."

"Understood." Du Yun devoted himself to the plan of growing meat.

He opened his big mouth, swallowed the food provided by Zhao Xing, and then the place where he was cut just now quickly began to grow flesh and blood.

"By the way, did you see Yi Ren when you woke up?"

"Yi Ren, the name of that fake?"

"Hmm."

"Dead."

"Killed by the Year Beast?"

"Speaking of which, it can be considered that he was looking for death." Du Yun pondered: "I don't know why, the Year Beast didn't seem to move you and Yi Ren at first,"

"it was just eating me."

"Later Yi Ren took out a divine object and wanted to sneak attack the Year Beast; the Year Beast was angered and swallowed him in one bite."

Zhao Xing nodded: "It should be that both I and Yi Ren possess some aura of the Heavenly Time Source, so the Year Beast didn't take action at first."

"By the way, how did you get out of my world within my body?"

"I don't know." Du Yun recalled: "The moment I saw the Nine Nether Dao Palace, I was as if possessed, and walked towards it,"

"and just walked out like that."

"However—"

"However—"

"However what?"

"At that moment, I had a strange feeling that the Nian Beast seemed a bit afraid of you."

"Afraid of me?" Zhao Xing was taken aback.

After finishing, Du Yun gave a self-deprecating laugh, "It must be that I was influenced at the time and had a hallucination."

About half a month later, the Nian Beast shuttled back from the sky-filling black storm.

It looked somewhat exhausted and also somewhat hungry.

As soon as it returned, it shouted "Cook."

Zhao Xing immediately carried the food box and ran over.

The Nian Beast immediately began to swallow in large gulps.

Zhao Xing discovered that the Nian Beast seemed to have consumed a great deal, because it acted very eagerly, even eating the food box along with the food.

"Could it be that the Nian Beast was injured while exploring the Nine Nether Dao Palace?"

"It looks like it went through a battle," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

However, he did not speak up to ask, because the Nian Beast hated being disturbed while eating.

Even if Zhao Xing made the slightest movement, it would provoke the Nian Beast to glare at him.

So he could only wait quietly like a wooden statue for the Nian Beast to finish eating.

This time the Nian Beast ate very full, because Zhao Xing had been carving meat off Du Yun every day, preparing several large boxes.

Once the Nian Beast was full, it was also happy.

Zhao Xing plucked up the courage to ask: "Lord Nian Beast, are there any other people existing in the Nine Nether Dao Palace?"

The Nian Beast was somewhat dejected: "There are a few guys I really want to eat."

"If I could eat one of them, my strength would greatly improve."

"I wouldn't have to rely on the Nine Nether Dao Palace to hide, and they wouldn't be able to find me either."

"But I didn't win."

They must be referring to the forces capturing the Nian Beast, the faction of God King Gu Xiao?

Could there actually be living beings in the Nine Nether Dao Palace?

Zhao Xing obtained two pieces of information and kept them in his heart.

"Cook, it must be because I wasn't full that I didn't win against them; hurry up and go cook."

"Yes, Lord Nian Beast." Seeing the Nian Beast close its eyes, Zhao Xing immediately bowed respectfully and retreated.

"Slow down!" Just then, the Nian Beast spoke again suddenly.

"Lord Nian Beast, what are your orders?"

"Cook, you always cut meat from the same part for me to eat; I'm tired of it. I want to Roc Roc Roc Roc Change the flavor."

Zhao Xing was speechless; the Nian Beast was actually ordering off a menu.

The Nian Beast thought Zhao Xing didn't understand the logic, so it taught him:

"The Divine Body of Na Lie, its various body parts correspond to the Six of Heaven."

"Every divine bone, every different region of flesh and organs, has different effects, and they have different textures when eaten."

"Some places are full of fire, refreshing and explosive, while others melt in your mouth, refreshing to the heart—"

"The marrow of the divine bones is even more delicious than delicious, especially that one called something Yun; the cultivation method he practices is special, he has plundered quite a bit of the Ancient God Clan's origin, and has swallowed many True Spirit Tribulations and Divine Tribulations. Eating a piece of him is equivalent to eating countless kinds of delicacies."

The Nian Beast spoke with great authority.

It had clearly treated Du Yun as a delicacy to be studied.

"I wonder which part Lord Nian Beast would like to eat next time?"

The Nian Beast suddenly opened its eyes, a hint of mischief in its purple pupils.

"What? No! Absolutely not!" Du Yun jumped up, "Zhao Xing, this is out of the question no matter what. I would rather die, die a quick death, than agree to this."

"Brother Du, calm down." Zhao Xing sighed, "Actually, what difference does it make? If you are swallowed in one gulp, it's the same thing; in the end, it's just a piece of meat."

Du Yun was choked with silence, sat down on the ground with a thud, his expression somewhat dazed.

A moment later, he suddenly laughed.

Clearly, he was speechless to the extreme.

"Brother Du, I—"

"Don't say it, and you're not allowed to say it in the future either!"

"Understood." Zhao Xing raised his hand: "I swear, I will absolutely not tell anyone."

Du Yun didn't react, and Zhao Xing said cautiously:

"So, will you do it yourself or—"

Du Yun looked at his lower body and gritted his teeth:

"I, I'll do it myself!"

"You leave the box and run far away."

"Understood." Zhao Xing nodded and immediately ran away a bit.

"Beast, you beast—"

He vaguely heard Du Yun's voice of grief and indignation from behind.

But soon he couldn't hear it anymore.

Zhao Xing stayed at the edge of the grass and the plaza, lost in thought.

It was clearly a very sad matter, but he didn't know why he actually wanted to laugh.

"I wonder if Old Du will be left with psychological trauma."

As time passed, Zhao Xing became more and more proficient at how to restore Du Yun to be very fresh; his medical skills actually made some progress during this process.

Du Yun also gradually got used to being eaten; in this process, his recovery ability also became stronger and stronger.

As a peerless genius of the Origin Heavenly Palace, where would Du Yun have had such experiences before?

Even the number of times he was seriously injured was rare.

Yet now, he almost had to carve off his own flesh and blood every day, and then stimulate his divine bones and divine marrow to regenerate his flesh.

Gradually, Zhao Xing even discovered that his knife was having trouble carving Du Yun.

The thirtieth year of being trapped in the Nine Nether Dao Palace.

The Nian Beast still left the nest on the plaza every so often, drilling into the black storm outside to go to unknown places.

Its requirements for Du Yun's flesh and blood became more and more frequent; gradually, not only could Du Yun not bear it.

Zhao Xing couldn't bear it either.

Because the supplements in the internal world were always limited, and for a Qi cultivator like Du Yun to recover, the amount of immortal herbs and divine fruits needed for replenishment was very large.

The forty-fifth year of being trapped.

On this day, the Nian Beast returned again.

But Zhao Xing did not bring any food.

"Cook, why did you come empty-handed?" The Nian Beast's gaze was unkind.

"Lord Nian Beast, please forgive me."

"I cannot absorb even a bit of spiritual energy or matter here, so I cannot grow good things, and therefore cannot make Du Yun's flesh and blood regenerate."

Zhao Xing said.

"Cook, why didn't you say so earlier?" The Nian Beast pawed the ground, somewhat dissatisfied.

However, it only blamed him once before walking toward a certain place: "You follow me."

"Yes." Zhao Xing took a deep breath and followed quickly.

The wild wind howled, the aura of destruction filled the space, and coldness and dead silence seemed to be the theme of the Nine Nether Dao Palace.

Zhao Xing could not feel the slightest vitality here, and even the earth veins were lifeless.

Leaving the safe zone around the plaza for the first time in forty-five years, he immediately realized the terror of the Nine Nether Dao Palace.

"Boom-crack~"

Black lightning suddenly drilled out from a spatial crack, carrying the power to destroy everything as it struck toward Zhao Xing and the Nian Beast.

The terrifying pressure made Zhao Xing completely unable to move, and even his soul felt as if it were suffocating.

"Roar!" The Nian Beast spat out aurora, dissolving the black lightning.

"Cook, follow closely; it's very dangerous here." The Nian Beast looked back and warned.

"Yes." Zhao Xing stayed within an inch.

The desolate black earth stretched on endlessly; after leaving the Nine Nether Dao Palace, it seemed to have fallen into endless darkness and desolation.

Everything was very flat, with no signs of buildings or life at all.

Zhao Xing guessed that this should be an independent space where the Nine Nether Dao Lord lived during his lifetime, but a great destruction or a terrifying battle must have occurred here.

Otherwise, the earth veins would not have been compressed into dead veins, and in a completely flat state at that.

Perhaps there had been magnificent buildings and magic arrays here, but they were destroyed under high-level combat, leaving only the pure Dao of Destruction.

"It's very similar to the situation in those Nirvana Realms, with only the pure Dao of Destruction remaining; the other Daos cannot be sensed at all," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Space constantly shattered and reassembled, and winds of destruction and thunder of destruction were born from within.

Aurora radiated from the Nian Beast's mouth, and the light source formed a very small moving barrier.

Zhao Xing felt that as long as he left the range covered by the aurora, he would be torn to shreds, not even leaving a residue.

After walking for about half a month, the Nian Beast stopped its steps.

It spat out a ball of light, which rose like a sun, illuminating the surroundings.

The half-white, half-dark horizon, which had never changed, appeared to Roc Roc Roc Roc Change for the first time.

A black mountain peak appeared ahead; the strange thing was that Zhao Xing could not sense the slightest fluctuation of earth veins.

Could this be the place the Nian Beast mentioned where he could resupply?

"Lord Nian Beast, this mountain seems dead; it cannot provide supplies."

"This is not a mountain," the Nian Beast spoke, "It is the Heaven-Swallowing Boundary Sea, which formed the shape of a mountain because of the battle."

"Heaven-Swallowing Boundary Sea?" Zhao Xing was confused.

"Once, in order to fight against Emperor Luo, the Nine Nether Dao Lord drained the water veins of nearly sixty percent of the primitive oceans of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

"The primitive ocean is the life ocean of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths; by doing this, the Nine Nether Dao Lord offended the public, leading many people to turn around and help Emperor Luo."

"Later, a portion was snatched back and returned to its original place, but a portion was refined into the Heaven-Swallowing Boundary Sea."

"It is exactly what you see now."

Zhao Xing could not see anything miraculous about it at all.

"Lord Nian Beast, why did the Nine Nether Dao Lord want to do this?"

The primitive ocean is called the life ocean; without it, many regions would become desolate domains, and it would even cause the extinction of living beings, leading to terrifying natural disasters.

The Nine Nether Dao Lord must have known that this would provoke public anger, so why did he still do it?

"You are truly stupid; didn't I tell you? It was to refine the Heaven-Swallowing Boundary Sea."

"This subordinate is dull; what is the function of this Heaven-Swallowing Boundary Sea?"

"To swallow heaven, Cook, you are so stupid."

Zhao Xing felt great hatred in his heart.

He was actually being looked down upon by this Nian Beast!

"At that time, Emperor Luo had already completed the Heaven-Sacrifice Sealing."

"After sealing the heavens, Emperor Luo had already obtained the help of Heaven, and the Extreme Star also appeared in the world."

"If the Nine Nether Dao Lord didn't do this, once Emperor Luo completed the Earth-Sacrifice ceremony, he would far surpass the Dao Lord and reach the realm of the God Emperor."

"Once Emperor Luo went from being a Dao Lord to the God Emperor realm, he would either submit or wait for death."

"Nine Nether certainly wouldn't wait for death, which is why he had to do this."

"However, by doing this, he instead accelerated Emperor Luo's promotion."

Listening to the Nian Beast's explanation, Zhao Xing suddenly realized, and he took the opportunity to flatter the Nian Beast: "Lord Nian Beast is indeed knowledgeable; this subordinate admires you."

The Nian Beast seemed very happy, as if it weren't so hungry anymore: "Cook, they all say you are a very capable Agricultural Official; do you know why the Nine Nether Dao Lord wanted to refine the Heaven-Swallowing Boundary Sea?"

Zhao Xing was thinking and was about to answer, but discovered the Nian Beast was answering its own question: "You are really stupid, you don't even know the Great Sun Sea Theory of the Heavenly Time Faction."

"The Extreme Star was born in the primitive sea, and the primitive ocean preserved the characteristics of the sea at the beginning of chaos."

"The Nine Nether Dao Lord refined it just to cover up the Extreme Star, so that its light would not shine upon his own body."

"So that's it." Zhao Xing pretended to have a sudden realization, "Many thanks for the guidance, Lord Nian Beast."

Clearly, the Nine Nether Dao Lord failed. He must have only refined a semi-finished product, which could not cover the radiance of the Extreme Star at all, which is why he couldn't beat the half-step God Emperor Emperor Luo.

"Fengshan, so the step to becoming a God Emperor is really Fengshan—in that case, the Xuanhuang World of the ancient times was truly a badass place," Zhao Xing thought with some shock.

"Alright, Cook, I'm tired of talking." The Nian Beast interrupted Zhao Xing's distraction, "You go try and see if you can absorb the essence of the Boundary Sea from it."

The Nian Beast dared not go, because the Boundary Sea 'swallows heaven', and as a Heavenly Time Giant Beast, the Nian Beast instinctively feared it, even if it was in a sealed state.

Zhao Xing was taken aback: "Lord Nian Beast, I, can I do it?"

The Heaven-Swallowing Boundary Sea is so formidable, if I go inside to collect spiritual energy and matter, won't I die inside?

"I'm just asking you to try; if you can't, come back." The Nian Beast was somewhat impatient: "Trying won't kill you."

The Nian Beast spat out a ball of light, which floated in front of Zhao Xing.

"The origin of the Extreme Star will briefly protect you for a period of time; you must return before it goes out."

Zhao Xing was dazed once again.

The origin of the Extreme Star?

The ball in front of him is the origin of the Extreme Star?

The thing he was desperately searching for was obtained just like this?
