High Martial Arts: Gains one point of health per second, sweeping across the heavens.

Su Jie exclaimed, "Good heavens, is this what they call 'whipping a corpse'?"

The beast king's brutality was far more terrifying than he had anticipated.

At this moment, the eighth star ring's defense line had been torn open by the beast tide, creating an even larger breach. The dark purple beast tide surged into the star ring like a flood bursting its banks.

At the forefront of the beast tide, a figure was colliding head-on with the massive beast king's true form.

It was a woman dressed in dark blue armor, surrounded by dozens of mysterious Dao patterns. She held a curved sword in each hand, and each arc of light drawn by the blades left deep, bone-revealing wounds on the Beast King's scales.

Her aura was powerful and fierce, quite good among the eight eternal beings, but she was clearly at a disadvantage against that beast king.

The Beast King lowered its head slightly, its gray-white eyes without pupils locked onto her, and each time it opened its mouth, it spewed out a gray-black column of air that forced her back tens of thousands of feet.

Her armor was cracked in several places, and there was dark blue blood at the corner of her mouth, but her sword did not hesitate at all. Every time she retreated, she would immediately pounce again, like a lioness driven to the brink of despair.

Su Jie stood in the void, watching the battle, and all his previous confusion was answered at this moment.

Why didn't Canglan Yu attend the Daozi's coronation ceremony?

She was indeed unable to extricate herself, because the entire Canglan Heaven Domain was shrouded in an invisible force field, and any messages transmitted outward would be completely swallowed up by that force field.

Not only in the Canglan Heaven Domain, but he also slightly sensed the texture of that force field.

It was an extremely concealed interference field continuously emanating from the body of the Void Beast King, with its coverage area extending outward from the center of the Azure Sky Domain.

Its existence does not affect the normal operation of the Canglan Heaven Domain, but it can make all communication talismans and spatial teleportation signals that try to fly away from this area disappear silently as if they have fallen into a swamp.

Su Jie stood at the edge of the void, watching the Void Beast King who was locked in battle with Cang Lan Yu.

He originally thought that his trip to the Canglan Universe was mainly to investigate the reason for the absence of the coronation ceremony and to confirm whether the Canglan clan showed any signs of rebellion.

It now appears that things are much more complicated than he had anticipated.

But then he thought about it again and realized it was even better.

If he could personally kill and devour the essence of an eight-wheel level Void Beast King, it would likely help improve his combat power.

The extent of the improvement that an eighth-level being could bring him is unknown.

What interested him more were the 108 eternal remnants hanging from the tail.

If he could collect them all, given his current primordial universe's instinctive ability to devour, the essence within those remnants would directly become nourishment for his breakthrough.

Although only remnants remain, and the original essence is probably less than one-tenth of what it was, its advantage lies in its large quantity.

Su Jie snapped out of his thoughts and his gaze returned to the figure that was locked in battle with the Beast King.

Canglan Yu's figure weaved and darted among the Beast King's massive body, like a bird that maintained its balance even in a storm.

The blade precisely cleaved at the weak point where the scales met, leaving a clear crack on the gray-black pattern with each strike.

But Su Jie could tell that she wouldn't last long.

Her armor was torn in several places, and the entire piece of armor on her left shoulder had fallen off, revealing her clothing and a bleeding wound underneath.

There was dark blue blood at the corner of her mouth. The interval between each strike was shorter than the previous one, and the position of the strikes was gradually shifting towards the defensive direction. Originally, she could maintain an 80% offensive and 20% defensive advantage, but now it was almost a 50/50 split.

However, Su Jie did not make a move.

The eleventh-tier primordial spirit covered the entire battlefield, clearly seeing every movement, every strike, and every distance Cang Lanyu was forced back.

Although she was at a disadvantage, it was because of the Beast King's overwhelming size. In essence, she had not yet revealed any real fatal flaws. Her attack rhythm still had its own rules, and she could always find an angle to re-enter after retreating.

Since he can still hold on, there's no need to put him through the risk.

He and Canglan Yu were complete strangers; this was their first meeting. She did indeed possess an exceptionally beautiful face, a slender figure, sharp shoulder and neck lines, and a tightly cinched waist. Even in a life-or-death battle, she could maintain that clean and agile physique.

But would he really rush in to shield her from the Beast King's verbal attacks just because of this? He's not that free.

He glanced at his original universe prototype panel, where his current basic combat power was 9.9 million constant forces, only 10 million away from 1000 billion constant forces.

According to his estimation, once the power exceeds one billion constant forces, the nascent primordial universe will likely be able to transform into a twelfth-order Chaos Supreme.

At that time, his combat power that the Primordial Chaos Holy Armor and the Chaos Emperor Wings can withstand will be greatly enhanced, and his strength will undergo a qualitative change. It would be the right thing to do to come back and deal with this Void Beast King at that time.

As for the talisman given to him by the Primordial Lord? He never even considered using it here.

That trump card was for his own survival; it was a trump card he would only reveal when facing threats from the Nine-Round Eternal Level.

If he uses it up in this beast tide, he won't even have a last fig leaf left when he encounters real danger later.

Besides, it's not that he can't beat them; he just needs some more time.

Su Jie withdrew his gaze, no longer looking at the dark blue figure in the center of the battlefield who was struggling to maintain his balance.

With a flicker of his body, like a shadow merging into the void, he quietly left the main battlefield and headed towards a relatively sparse area on the flank of the beast tide.

A five-star Void Beast adds 100,000 constant power to him, and a six-star beast adds 1 million constant power. If he kills another 100 five-star beasts or 10 six-star beasts, he can gather the final 10 million constant power.

In less than half an hour, he precisely locked onto a lone five- or six-star void beast each time, approaching, striking with his sword, devouring it, and retreating, as cleanly and efficiently as a pre-programmed, precise process.

Su Jie finally stopped moving when the seventh six-star void beast fell.

He stood on a fragment of void temporarily ignored by the beast tide. The feeling of the primal power constantly flowing into him disappeared, as if he had been cut off in half by something.

He frowned slightly, his consciousness sinking into the depths of the primordial universe's embryonic form. The chaotic-colored cosmic heart was slowly beating, its rhythm more profound than before, each contraction bringing forth a fine ripple of energy.

Basic combat strength: 10 billion constant power.

Based on past experience, the primordial universe will automatically undergo a transformation after reaching a certain threshold, just as water will overflow when it is full, or water will overflow the edge when a dam is built to a certain height.

But this time nothing happened.

He waited for ten breaths, twenty breaths, thirty breaths, but the Heart of the Universe continued to beat at the same rhythm, its pulsating force steady and solid, without showing any sign of breaking through to the twelfth rank.
