Primordial Era: With unparalleled comprehension, I am the Ancestor of Stars.

Chapter 2 The Ferocious Beast Taotie, Hongjun's Avatar

"roar!"

The next instant, a thunderous roar rang out from behind him.

Taihao raised an eyebrow and swept out with his divine sense, immediately discovering that the newcomer was a ferocious beast with the body of a sheep, the face of a human, eyes under its armpits, tiger teeth, and human hands!

"Gluttonous beast!"

Taihao blurted out, recognizing the ferocious beast at a glance.

"It's actually a juvenile Taotie, which just happened to escape the great calamity. It would be suitable to be my mount!"

Taihao laughed heartily, unleashing his full power at the peak of the Great Luo realm without any concealment!

"roar!"

Although this Taotie was not very intelligent, it could still sense Taihao's attitude and immediately roared, causing the stars to tremble!

Then, a sense of devouring emanated from his mouth!

Innate supernatural power: Devouring Heaven!

The sky and earth changed color, the stars dimmed, and even the light of the sun was completely absorbed in that instant!

However, Taihao remained unmoved.

"this one?"

Taihao smiled calmly, and the 840 million stars on his body trembled as he uttered a single word.

"town!"

In an instant, time reversed, the sun and moon lost their color, and heaven and earth stood still!

The young Taotie barely had time to react before its entire body collapsed to the ground, as if a massive weight was pressing down on it, rendering it unable to move.

"roar!"

Taotie roared in resentment, trying to struggle again, but it had clearly underestimated Taihao's strength!

"Still not convinced?"

Taihao snorted coldly, and his aura trembled once more, with the aura of each star within his body intensifying.

In an instant, the stars twinkled, the sun and moon reversed, and the clouds rolled and unrolled!

"Roar~ Woo~"

The gluttonous beast initially tried to struggle, but in the next moment, it immediately realized that there was great terror between life and death!

His whole body was trembling.

"Are you convinced?"

Taihao withdrew the starlight and asked again.

"Awooo~"

This time, Taotie dared not act recklessly again and obediently submitted.

"You're smart to know what's good for you. From today onwards, you will be my mount."

Taihao nodded in satisfaction.

The Taotie reacted quickly, immediately prostrating itself at Taihao's feet.

Just as Taihao was about to sit down, a sudden change occurred!

"Buzz!"

A ripple came from the void, and celestial music resounded between heaven and earth, with purple aura illuminating half of the Milky Way!

A Taoist priest with an air of otherworldly grace, holding a precious whisk, slowly descended from the horizon.

"This old Daoist Hongjun greets fellow Daoist!"

Hongjun!

Even with Taihao's temperament, he couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the other party introduce himself.

Who is Hongjun?

That was the Dao Ancestor of later generations!

The spokesperson for the Primordial Heavenly Dao!

Although Hongjun has not yet become a saint, he is one of the main characters of this great calamity, and his strength is extraordinary!

"What's this old bastard doing here?"

Taihao was filled with doubts, but his expression remained calm.

"My name is Taihao, greetings to Fellow Daoist Hongjun!"

"Taihao?" Hongjun paused for a moment, seemingly searching for information about Taihao, but quickly found nothing.

However, he didn't pay it any mind, simply assuming it was a powerful being living in seclusion in the primordial world. He said calmly, "This old Daoist has been searching for this Taotie for a thousand years, intending to subdue it and eliminate a hidden danger in the primordial world. I didn't expect you to beat me to it!"

Ok?

Instantly, Taihao felt a sense of relief.

After all that, it turns out Hongjun wasn't after him, but after Taotie!

The ferocious beast race is bloodthirsty and cannot be tolerated by the primordial land.

This gluttonous cub should have perished with the great calamity, but it escaped the net.

However, if one can kill it, Heaven will generously bestow merit and rewards.

To be honest, Taihao also needed to accumulate merit.

But with the Four Fiends, killing one means one less. If he kills this young Taotie, where will he find such a high-ranking mount?

dragon?

凤？

Qilin?

Unless these three races decline, Taihao really doesn't want to provoke them now.

Therefore, Taotie is currently his best mount.

Suddenly, Taihao had a flash of inspiration!

[In a flash of inspiration, you used your own righteous energy as a foundation to transform the malevolent energy that had created the world, thus creating the Art of Transforming Malevolent Energy into Spirit.]

Righteousness and integrity!

It is the purest and strongest energy of heaven and earth, which can perfectly restrain the evil energy.

But restraint does not mean that it can be refined and used for one's own benefit.

Now that we have this supernatural secret technique, everything is different!

"The Art of Transforming Malevolent Energy into Spirit!"

Taihao's gaze was intense.

At the same time, Hongjun spoke again:

"I wonder what you intend to do with this Taotie, fellow Daoist? If you don't mind, could this old Daoist take matters into his own hands and kill it?"

"In exchange, this old Daoist is willing to bestow this innate spiritual treasure upon you, fellow Daoist!"

Innate spiritual treasure?

Taihao was not surprised.

After all, there are merits to be gained from killing ferocious beasts.

However, Taihao shook his head.

"No!"

"Fellow Daoist, do you think one innate spiritual treasure isn't enough?" Hongjun frowned slightly, then took out a sword-like treasure. "Two, how about that?"

What the hell!

Is this old man's collection really that extensive? He's so generous with his money!

In comparison, Taihao was a complete pauper, possessing nothing but the Primordial Measuring Ruler, a magical artifact he was born with!

However, despite his sighs, he didn't want to accept it and bluntly stated:

"To be honest, this Taotie is already my mount; how can I kill it so easily!"

"A mount!"

This time it was Hongjun's turn to be surprised. "The ferocious beast is formed from malevolent energy and is naturally bloodthirsty. Although you have subdued it now, there is no guarantee that it won't turn against you in the future!"

"Hahaha, this mere malevolent aura is easily neutralized by me!"

Taihao laughed heartily and said nothing more. With a flick of his finger, an aura as deep as the abyss erupted from his fingertip.

This is the spirit of righteousness!

The next moment, pure white aura enveloped the Taotie. Then, wisps of black smoke peeled away from the Taotie's body, eventually transforming into pure spiritual energy, which the Taotie reabsorbed and turned into nourishment.

"What kind of supernatural power is this?"

Hongjun was stunned.

He had traveled through the primordial wilderness for many years and had never heard of anyone who could refine malevolent energy into spiritual energy.

"Waaaaah~"

At this moment, the little Taotie also woke up, and like a little lamb, it nuzzled in front of Taihao, its voice no longer roaring, but softly chirping.

This is clearly the awakening of spiritual intelligence!

"good!"

Taihao nodded in satisfaction.

At the same time, boundless golden light descended from the heavens, and golden lotuses of merit bloomed in the void, creating a peaceful scene between heaven and earth.

This is the Golden Cloud of Merit!

Stretching for hundreds of millions of miles, the sky was dyed gold!

This is the Great Dao's recognition and reward for the technique of transforming evil energy into spirit!

"Fellow Daoist, what extraordinary abilities, what good fortune, what a fortunate opportunity!"

Hongjun uttered three "good" sounds in a row.

At the same time, Hongjun's heart stirred.

"This Taihao has accumulated great merit; why not take this opportunity to befriend him?"

However, before Hongjun could speak, Taihao spoke first.

"May I ask, fellow Daoist, is this body merely an avatar?"
