Chapter 533: Dou Tianxiong's Shock
Ye Wuque's gaze flickered slightly.
Central Diguo, Supreme Opportunity, bloodline's ultimate metamorphosis, ancient sealed monsters…
These keywords linked together sketch a picture that is grander and more dangerous.
This Ten Thousand Beasts Archipelago is indeed no simple matter.
"Those ancient monsters, sealed within the archipelago, are themselves a form of cultivation and metamorphosis for them…"
Ye Wuque murmured thoughtfully, confirming his earlier conjecture.
"Choosing the right sealing site and letting the environment subtly elevate them—what a clever scheme."
"This Ten Thousand Beasts Archipelago itself is a massive, living field of opportunity."
Beside him, Dou Tianxiong, already having heard, wore a solemn expression, his eyes flashing intensely, his breath quickening slightly.
He, of the Holy War Heavenly Ape clan, values the purity of bloodline and its atavistic degree above all!
The stronger the bloodline, the greater the potential, the more terrifying the combat power!
The opportunity on Central Diguo that can cause the bloodline's ultimate metamorphosis and even utmost ascension is, to him, simply incomparable in allure!
"This Ten Thousand Beasts Archipelago… this time we might pierce the heavens!"
Dou Tianxiong muttered, his eyes blazing, but then a fierce Fighting Spirit rose, "However, the more like this, the more interesting! Brother, we must fight for this opportunity!"
Ye Wuque nodded, a faint curve lifting his mouth: "Indeed. Even the top-tier great clans value it so, even arranging plans several eras ahead; this Central Diguo's opportunity surely won't disappoint."
In his words, regarding the soon-to-open Ten Thousand Beasts Archipelago, a clear hint of anticipation finally emerged.
He could sense that the bloodline's ultimate metamorphosis involves evolution at the level of life's origin, which could bring incalculable benefits to his cultivation of Undying Indestructible Divine King Art and even to the enhancement of the essence of One Qi Transforms into Three Purities Clone.
Not to mention the possible Emperor Fiend‑grade inheritances, Dao Fruit, and other opportunities there.
"Interesting," Ye Wuque lifted a cup of Nine Star Tempering Essence Brew, took a gentle sip, "This is only the early segment of the Origin Ancient Road, yet already such a caliber of opportunity. It seems this Ancient Path will not bore me."
Having learned this key information, Ye Wuque already had the numbers in mind.
He just entertained the thought of paying steward Bai Yu for the information, but steward Bai Yu hurriedly waved his hand, his smile becoming more sincere, even tinged with a hint of panic:
"Young Master Ye, you speak too highly! To serve you, to provide even trivial information, is an honor for me, Bai Yu, and for our entire Tongtian Tower!"
"Today, all expenses for the two young masters in this tower are completely free! We only hope the two young masters can rest comfortably here; if any need arises, just give the order. I shall now take my leave, not to disturb your refined interests."
After speaking, he bowed deeply again, led the maids, slipped out of the Star Dome Quiet Chamber silently, and quietly lifted the external seal, ensuring absolute quiet and privacy.
Ye Wuque watched Bai Yu's departing figure, his eyes deep, shaking his head with a wry smile: "He's also a personal talent. Wanting to forge a good bond with the top monsters that come here, a long‑term investment—his foresight isn't bad."
This Tongtian Tower is evidently a local force of the Origin Ancient Road; being able to open such a large tavern in Emperor Beast City must rest on deep foundations.
They do not partake in the Ancient Path's contests, yet provide rest, trade, and intelligence services to the various Heavenly Pride, forging many good ties.
Offering Ye Wuque free services today may seem a loss, but if it leaves a good impression on a future being destined to stand atop the Zhutian, the return will be incalculable.
It is a very shrewd and long‑term way of dealing with the world.
"Brother, the opportunity of this Ten Thousand Beasts Archipelago is truly astonishing! We must make thorough preparations!"
Dou Tianxiong remained immersed in the shock and excitement the information brought.
"Naturally. However, it will still be some time before the archipelago fully manifests and stabilizes. We can use this chance to adjust our state and make preparations." Ye Wuque said calmly.
The two thus took temporary residence in the Star Dome Quiet Chamber on the top floor of this Tongtian Tower.
The environment here is superb, with abundant and gentle spiritual energy, and a formation that blocks external prying and disturbance—a rare haven for quiet cultivation.
During this time, Ye Wuque saw Dou Tianxiong's thirst for power still burning fiercely, and his Holy War Heavenly Ape bloodline already matched the Three Heads Six Arms Great Divine Ability, prompting a thought.
That day, in the Quiet Chamber, Ye Wuque let Dou Tianxiong demonstrate his Three Heads Six Arms divine ability again.
Amidst flashing silver light, Dou Tianxiong transformed into a silver war ape with three heads and six arms, his aura imposing, yet the divine form seemed at its limit; the coordination of the three heads' wills and the distribution of the six arms' strength, though mastered, still felt lacking in further harmony and variation.
Ye Wuque observed carefully for a moment, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.
Then, he pointed his finger like a sword; a faint Chaos glow streamed from his fingertip, not an attack but a gentle tap at a mysterious frequency.
Hum!
A soft yet infinitely informative Chaos light, imbued with Dao Rhythm, shot from Ye Wuque's fingertip and entered Dou Tianxiong's forehead!
Dou Tianxiong's whole body shuddered violently, the illusion of the Three Heads Six Arms divine ability instantly withdrew; he let out a muffled hum, closed his eyes and focused, as a massive flow of information exploded within his sea of consciousness!
It was not text or images, but a more fundamental Dao Rhythm inheritance, an infusion of artistic conception!
It clearly displayed how the Three Heads Six Arms divine ability evolves step by step from its basic form, expanding and breaking limits, advancing toward the higher tiers of Four Heads Eight Arms and ultimately the ultimate Five Heads Ten Arms form, revealing the complete profound principle, energy circulation routes, will‑integration methods, and the forbidden acupoints where flesh merges with the divine ability!
It is not merely an increase in number of forms, but an exponential surge in power, speed, reaction, perception, and even combat thought patterns!
Each additional head and arm means a geometric increase in combat power, and the multiple heads and arms do not simply stack; they can form perfect coordination, evolving endless Battle Formation variations, integrating offense and defense with almost no flaw!
Especially the ultimate Five Heads Ten Arms form; in Ye Wuque's derived principle, the five heads can each observe the four directions and the heavens, perceiving all, while the ten arms can simultaneously execute ten distinct powerful techniques or divine abilities, or unify their force to unleash a cataclysmic strike that shatters the Star River!
It is already close to the prototype of some Chaos Demon God divine abilities found in mythic legends!
"This… this is… the higher form of the Three Heads Six Arms?! Five Heads… Ten Arms?!!"
Dou Tianxiong snapped his eyes open, his silver pupils filled with unparalleled shock and awe, his voice hoarse from extreme excitement!
As a Holy War Heavenly Ape, he knows the origin and limits of this clan's Three Heads Six Arms Great Divine Ability better than anyone!
It is a heritage divine ability etched deep in the bloodline; since antiquity, even the most dazzling ancestors of the Holy War Heavenly Ape clan could only cultivate it to the perfect Three Heads Six Arms state, and no one has ever been heard to break this shackling!
Three Heads Six Arms seems to be the theoretical limit of this divine ability, bound by bloodline rules!
However, the profound principle Ye Wuque imparted to him pointed unmistakably toward the paths to Four Heads Eight Arms and Five Heads Ten Arms!
It is not merely an improvement of a divine ability; it literally shatters the Holy War Heavenly Ape clan's bloodline shackles, opening entirely new evolutionary possibilities!
"Brother… how did you… how could you possibly do that?! This… how is this possible?!!"
Dou Tianxiong, excited to the point of incoherence, looked at Ye Wuque as if gazing upon a deity walking among mortals, filled with incomprehensible awe.
This already exceeds the scope that innate talent can explain; it is a breakthrough achievable only with near‑divine insight into the essence of Tiandao, life evolution, and the origin of divine abilities!
Ye Wuque looked at his stunned expression, smiled faintly, and said calmly: "Fight more, comprehend more, think more. Divine abilities are dead, the rules were set by predecessors, but the Dao is living and infinite. Sometimes, stepping out of fixed frameworks and viewing the union of power and form from a more essential perspective can, in a flash of insight, reveal new possibilities. Your bloodline is strong enough, your foundation solid, and you are qualified to bear this evolution."
He spoke as if it were a trivial matter, as though he had done nothing more than a minor task.
But to Dou Tianxiong's ears, it sounded like a massive bell's deep resonance!
To break out of the framework and glimpse the essence… what terrifying vision, insight, and daring does that require?!
Dou Tianxiong inhaled several breaths, forced the raging torrent in his heart down, and with utmost solemnity bowed to Ye Wuque, saying, "Brother's imparting of the Dao, Dou Tianxiong will never forget! This grace is like rebirth!"
He understood that the value of this profound truth was incalculable for the entire Sacred War Heaven Ape Clan.
If it were transmitted within the clan, it could trigger the greatest earthquake in history; those sleeping, sequestered Ancestor‑level beings would likely all awaken, driven mad by it!
"Alright, seize the time to contemplate. The Ten Thousand Beasts Archipelago is about to open; the more strength you have, the more grasp you gain," Ye Wuque waved his hand, indicating that no further ceremony was needed.
Dou Tianxiong nodded heavily, could no longer restrain himself, immediately sat cross‑legged, closed his eyes, and immersed his whole being in contemplating the ultimate profound truth of the Five Heads Ten Arms.
His face shifted from confusion to sudden clarity to ecstatic joy, his breath rising and falling with it, clearly undergoing a significant transformation.
Ye Wuque continued to sit cross‑legged nearby, eyes half‑closed, his surrounding aura as still as an ancient well, beginning to refine his cultivation, reinforcing the foundation of the Tongtian Third Realm more solidly, while constantly rehearsing and perfecting his various techniques and divine abilities in his mind, making the fullest preparation for the forthcoming journey to the Ten Thousand Beasts Archipelago.
Inside the Star Dome Quiet Chamber, Time seemed to have lost its meaning.
Only the slow flow of simulated nebulae above and the gentle tinkling of Star Spring Water in the corner accompanied the man and the ape, silently gathering strength in the silence, awaiting the storm destined to sweep the front segment of the Origin Ancient Road— the full opening of the Ten Thousand Beasts Archipelago.
Outside, Emperor Beast City remained noisy and boiling, the myriad discussions and speculations about Ye Wuque's appearance and the opportunity of the Ten Thousand Beasts Archipelago rippling like undercurrents among countless beings.
Increasingly powerful auras gathered from all corners of the starry sky, making the atmosphere of this massive city grow more tense and heated day by day.
A grand prelude gathering contemporary Heavenly Pride, Ancient Freak, and even potentially drawing Emperor Fiend's attention is slowly unfolding.
