Humans are devouring and selling off the heavens

Chapter 377 Replenishing the Warehouse and Meeting the Mountain Guest

"But what does that have to do with me?"

Xu Qing's eyes narrowed slightly.

For him now, the Origin Continent is basically like his backyard.

He only came here to buy goods.

Immediately, he raised his hand and made a grasping motion.

This seemingly casual grab possessed boundless power emanating from his palm. Invisible ripples of power spread wildly outwards from him, instantly covering the Chaos Continent's territory, spanning countless light-years.

Wherever it passed, the void collapsed with a roar, and the dense chaotic air currents surged back like a tide. Even the unique, solidified energy mist of heaven and earth that was unique to the Origin Continent was torn to pieces by this force.

In the wilderness of Chaos Continent, whether it is the True God-level or Void True God-level ferocious beasts that are common in the towering mountains, or the incomparably powerful Eternal True God-level alien beasts, or even the Chaos Realm alien beasts that dominate a region and are the only ones left in the entire continent, all of them are bound by an irresistible force.

They roared, howled, or struggled frantically. Their power, enough to destroy miniature universes and shatter countless stars, was like ants trying to shake a tree in the face of this mighty force. They had no chance to resist and were all pulled into the void, converging towards Xu Qing's palm.

Not only the strange beasts, but also the rare and precious materials scattered throughout the Chaos Continent were not spared.

All sorts of rare and precious treasures, even the strange mineral veins buried deep underground, along with the surrounding land and rocks, were uprooted by this force and poured into Xu Qing's palm like shooting stars.

In an instant, the entire Chaos Continent seemed to have been completely plundered. The once vibrant territory was now nothing but a barren and desolate wasteland, without a trace of spiritual energy or life force.

In Xu Qing's palm, the captured beasts had not yet resisted, nor even reacted. The next moment, Xu Qing flicked his fingertips, and a wisp of flame ignited from his palm. The flame was enough to incinerate the universe, and wherever the flame passed, the beasts' screams came to an abrupt end.

Whether it was a bloodline at the level of a true god or a bloodline at the level of chaos or a behemoth, all of them were melted and condensed in the fire, eventually turning into lustrous pills.

Xu Qing glanced at the pills but didn't pay much attention to them, simply putting them into the Zhutian Pavilion's warehouse.

Not to mention that his avatar possesses the power of an ultimate life form, these beasts, whose strongest might not even reach the sixth level of the Chaos Realm, probably couldn't even withstand the power of a single glance from his true form. How could they possibly resist?

Countless pills floated in Xu Qing's palm, layer upon layer, shimmering with light. The lowest grade was at least a Universe Lord level pill, formed from the blood and essence of the immature offspring of wild beasts. Each pill could help a person break through to the Law Lord level, making them supreme treasures that could help cultivators break through their realms.

However, let alone beast pills at the level of the Lord of Laws, even materials from beasts at the level of True Gods are useless in the Origin Continent.

After all, people from the Origin Continent are all true gods once they reach adulthood, so these things don't have much effect on them.

After doing all this, Xu Qing headed towards the Food Kingdom. The moment he refined those strange beasts with his strength, he gained countless memories and knew which route to take.

Meanwhile, in the core holy city of Chaos State, the Great Sage of Chaos, who ruled this place, sat atop his palace, yet dared not even breathe loudly.

"My God, which powerful god-king is this?!"

He possessed the cultivation of the Chaos Realm, virtually invincible in the Chaos Continent, commanding trillions of True Gods and over a hundred million Void True Gods. Even the Great Sage Lords of the surrounding Chaos Continents treated him with utmost respect. Yet, when that overwhelming power swept across the Holy City, the Chaos Power around him instantly froze, his soul trembled, and his seated body uncontrollably collapsed to the ground, his face ashen. He could clearly sense that the power was far beyond what a Chaos Realm cultivator could possess; it was the supreme power only a God-King, capable of manipulating a territory with a flick of his wrist, could wield! The opponent had casually plundered the entire Chaos Continent, not even considering him, a Great Sage of Chaos, a threat.

But as a mere Chaos Realm cultivator, he dared not utter a single complaint, nor did he possess the power to resist.

He only prayed that this great being would not cast his light upon the holy city; even if the wilderness was plundered, it would be of no consequence to him.

After all, the city's tax revenue is a major source of income for the Chaos Realm, and even for the God King who governs a region of Chaos.

Although he was in the Chaos Realm and possessed various secret techniques for taking someone's place in death, even if he had a secret technique to reshape his true body after dying once, he would still have to pay an unbearable price.

He slumped on the throne, too afraid to even lift his head, his heart filled with extreme fear, wishing only that the other party would leave quickly.

After a long while, when there were no more fluctuations of power around, the Great Sage of Chaos finally breathed a long sigh of relief: "A powerful God-King has actually come to my Chaos Continent. Fortunately, he didn't target me—"

Although the power of Xu Qing's grab was limited to the Chaos State, the fluctuations of power broke through the territory and spread to the surrounding ten Chaos States, almost covering this small divine kingdom.

The ruler of this divine kingdom, a first-level God-King, was comprehending the Great Dao in his palace when he was suddenly startled by this unfamiliar God-King level power.

His divine sense surged, sweeping across the Chaos Continent, the source of his power, like a net covering the sky. Every inch of land within the continent was exposed, but no matter how he searched, he could not find a trace of the unfamiliar God-King. All he found was a desolate wasteland of chaos that had been completely plundered.

"Who is this powerful figure who dared to act on my territory and then leave without a trace?"

There was no anger in the God-King's mind, only doubt and fear.

He could sense the overwhelming power of the other party. Although they were both at the first level of the God King realm, the other party's power was far more refined and vast than his, and their concealment techniques were superb, allowing them to disappear without a trace even under his divine sense.

However, this powerful being only plundered the wilderness and did not even disturb the wild tribes, so it did not seem to have any malicious intent.

"I suppose he was just passing by." The God-King frowned, then stopped thinking about it, simply reassured the Great Sage of Chaos with a telepathic message, and returned to his state of enlightenment.

To him, it was nothing more than a trivial matter.

It's common for a Great Sage of the Chaos Realm to devour a city and annihilate trillions of True Gods, let alone just killing some wild beasts. The resources from those kills combined are probably not as valuable as that one Chaos Realm beast.

Xu Qing traveled towards the Food Kingdom, passing through several small divine kingdoms. He only targeted Eternal True Gods and Chaos Realm beasts, and after several days, he accumulated a massive amount of pills.

These pills condense the essence of the bloodline of exotic beasts. For beings on the Origin Continent who cultivate through bloodline, one pill can help them break through to the Eternal True God realm, or even reach the Chaos realm.

Although the Chaos Realm achieved through this method is the weakest among those of the same realm, the Chaos Realm is still the Chaos Realm, and it is extremely rare on the Origin Continent.

Even in the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, as long as a member of the royal family reaches the Chaos Realm, no matter how weak they are, they can still obtain the title of Marquis.

The entire ancient kingdom had no more than a hundred marquises.

In small kingdoms at the God-King level, Chaos Realm beings are even rarer. Even God-Kings dare not command them casually. Simply by joining a God-King territory, one can be granted land, rule a Chaos State, command countless True Gods, and possess a continuous stream of wealth.

Xu Qing did not travel in a straight line, but instead walked and stopped, refining any Chaos Realm beasts he encountered. This behavior served two purposes: firstly, to replenish the Zhutian Pavilion's warehouse, and secondly, to wait for the Mountain Guest.

The other party has just performed a reincarnation technique and is currently still in the mother's womb, and it will take some time before it awakens.

Some time later, outside of hundreds of Chaos Continents.

The Mountain-Sitting Guest had just completed his reincarnation. He had only been in the womb for a few thousand days when he broke through to the Chaos Realm.

Several thousand days later, he spontaneously broke free from his womb and was born. To the astonishment of his family, he flew straight towards the outer realms.

"What's going on? A fetus can be born on its own?!"

"It's a secret technique of reincarnation! This is a method only a god-king could possess!"

This family was well-informed and immediately recognized it as a secret method of reincarnation. They were even more shocked that the other party could awaken memories in the fetal stage.

It should be noted that even a Great Sage in the Chaos Realm who possesses the secret technique of reincarnation may not be able to retain their original memories.

Those at the peak of the Chaos Realm can at most retain a trace of their true spirit, and it is unknown when they will awaken; those with weaker strength cannot even retain their memories, let alone awaken.

The ability to retain complete memories in reincarnation is a power possessed only by the will of a god-king!

"Our family has actually produced a God-King?!" The family was shocked, but they also knew that such a supreme being was worlds apart from them and had almost no familial relationship with them.

-

Meanwhile, the mountain dweller continued to fly, his strength rapidly recovering.

If it were a normal reincarnation, he would never have gone to such great lengths and attracted so much attention. But since Ancestor Xu Qing promised to help him take revenge, how could he dare to keep the Ancestor waiting?

He already had a connection with Xu Qing, and upon his birth, he sensed the location of the ancestor. He immediately broke through the chaos and sped away.

At this moment, Xu Qing stood in the chaotic void, his fingertips lightly twirling a newly formed Chaos Realm Beast Pill. The faint pressure emanating from his body made the surrounding chaotic air currents dare not approach him.

Suddenly, he raised his eyes slightly and looked towards the end of the void, trillions of miles away.

A rapid yet concentrated aura burst forth from the chaos, carrying a familiar fluctuation.

In the blink of an eye, a figure arrived, bowing deeply, his tone full of respect and urgency: "Disciple Sitting Mountain Guest greets the Ancestor!"

The newcomer was none other than the Mountain Guest, who had now completely recovered his cultivation to the God King realm.

Xu Qing was not surprised by this. For cultivators who have attained enlightenment, as long as they retain their complete memories and foundation of the Dao, restoring their strength is a natural process.

After all, that's how Devouring-type cultivation works; you only need to comprehend the Dao, and everything else depends on what God provides.

He nodded slightly, his voice flat and even: "That's pretty fast."

"Since you're here, come with me."

A single sentence was enough to instantly bring a burst of intense joy to the mountain dweller's eyes.

Finally, he was able to witness his enemy die before his eyes and avenge his tragically murdered family and friends!

Xu Qing raised his hand and embraced the mountain dweller with a gentle yet irresistible force. The two figures instantly transformed into a streak of light, breaking through layers of chaos and speeding towards the Food Kingdom.

The Food Kingdom is a divine kingdom located on the edge of the Origin Continent. Its territory spans hundreds of Chaos Provinces. At its core stands a palace that is trillions of kilometers high and reaches the sky above the Origin Continent. The palace is surrounded by a rich source of matter, which is the residence of the Heavenly Kun God King.

The creatures of this Food Kingdom are born to nourish the Heavenly Kun God King.

For countless millennia, he has swallowed countless true gods and Chaos Realm experts, refining them into his own cultivation.

The Heavenly Kun God King's destruction of other nations was not for the purpose of annexing lands or plundering resources, but rather for the blatant devouring of the creatures of other nations.

Once he destroys a kingdom, he first devours one-third of its inhabitants, leaving the rest to nourish him for continued cultivation.

The Hunyuan bloodline he cultivated relied on devouring living beings to improve itself. Every living being nurtured by the Origin World was a convergence of the essence of heaven and earth, which made the nourishment of the Hunyuan bloodline twice as effective.

In addition, he mainly cultivates the Great Dao of the Material Origin, which can bring out the ultimate deliciousness of the origin of living beings. For him, devouring living beings is both cultivation and the ultimate enjoyment.

It was precisely because of this that he was able to become a guest minister of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, and even a confidant of the kingdom's first emperor, Di Yan.

In the realm of food, no one on the entire Origin Continent can rival him.

As a peak expert at the second level of the God King realm, wielding the Great Dao of the Origin of Matter, and blessed with the Hunyuan Bloodline bestowed by the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, the Heavenly Kun God King can be considered a hegemon on the edge of the Origin Continent.

He commands over a hundred Great Saints of the Chaos Realm and governs one hundred and thirty-nine Chaos Provinces.

It should be noted that the entire Origin Continent has only about three thousand Chaos Provinces. Even without counting the two ancient kingdoms, its territory accounts for nearly one-thirtieth of the continent.

Even among second-rate divine kingdoms, the Food Kingdom is a top-tier existence.

Just then, a deafening roar came from outside the core palace of the Food Kingdom, causing the entire palace to tremble slightly.

"Who dares to trespass into my land of food?!"

The Heavenly Kun God King was furious, and the material essence around him surged, instantly transforming into his true form.

A colossal black Kun, its body stretching across the void for trillions of kilometers, blotted out the sky. When it opened its mouth, a suction force capable of devouring the heavens and the earth swept in all directions, frantically swallowing the surrounding chaotic air currents and fragments of stars into its belly.

His divine sense surged, sweeping out of the hall like a net, only to see two figures slowly stepping in. One was dressed in flowing white robes, his aura calm yet powerful, while the other stood with his head bowed, staring at him with icy eyes. They were Xu Qing and the Mountain Guest.

The moment Xu Qing stepped into the Food Kingdom, he did not restrain his aura in the slightest. His immense power, far exceeding that of a first-level God King, shattered the souls of all the guards in the Food Kingdom, from True Gods to Chaos Realm, leaving them no room for resistance.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into my Food Kingdom? Do you want to die?!" The voice of the Heavenly Kun God King was like a thunderclap, his eyes filled with rage.

He could clearly sense that the white-robed man before him possessed formidable power; the oppressive aura even caused his very essence to stagnate. However, he cultivated the Hunyuan bloodline and believed that no one below the Emperor could kill him.

"If you know what's good for you, leave behind trillions of chaotic sands and retreat quickly, and I will not pursue the matter!" Tiankun God King said with a cold laugh, showing no pity for his dead subordinates, and instead making an exorbitant demand.

It should be known that a hundred billion Chaos Sands can be exchanged for a divine weapon of a god-king, and a trillion is an astronomical price. His arrogance is evident in his words.

"Tiankun, how dare you spout such arrogant words! Your death is imminent!"

The mountain dweller's voice was icy cold, his eyes blazing with boundless hatred: "You devoured my country and slaughtered my relatives and friends back then; today, this is your retribution!"

The Heavenly Kun God King glanced at the Mountain-Sitting Guest, sensing that he was only at the first level of the God King realm. A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, and then he sneered, "A mere first-level God King dares to be insolent in front of me? You're courting death!"
