Primordial Era: Cultivation level equals the sum of the Jie Sect's total; the Three Pure Ones a

Xuan Du stood thousands of miles away, watching the figure turn back, his eyes calm as still water.

really.

Taotie was indeed worried.

His departure just now was merely a test.

If he had been in a hurry and followed them, he would have been discovered by now.

At that time, it will be a battle to the death.

Taotie has four heavens, while he has three.

Although they have the strength to fight, the outcome is uncertain.

Moreover, behind Taotie are Shenni, as well as Hundun, Qiongqi, and Taotie.

Once exposed, it's a dead end.

Xuan Du's mind raced, but his face remained impassive.

He simply stood still, concealing his aura with the Chaos Pearl, watching Taotie search repeatedly in that chaos.

Taotie searched for three whole years.

Got nothing.

The resentment and anger in those blood-red eyes gradually faded, replaced by a bottomless gloom and resentment.

"Damn it!"

It growled softly, its voice like rolling thunder, filled with barely suppressed rage.

"That whale has a trace of ancient bloodline within it. Our Emperor has nurtured it for billions of yuan, waiting for its bloodline to mature so that he can devour its essence and use that trace of ancient bloodline to break through his bottleneck."

"Now someone else has beaten us to it!"

"If His Majesty finds out about this, how will we explain ourselves?"

It grew angrier as it spoke, and its malevolent aura surged wildly.

On those jet-black scales, the innate Dao patterns suddenly blazed brightly, radiating a destructive aura that sent chills down one's spine.

Xuan Du stood thousands of miles away, listening to the roar of the Taotie, his gaze slightly narrowed.

Ancient bloodline.

No wonder Taotie values ​​it so much.

No wonder it went to the trouble of turning back to search.

It turns out that such a secret is hidden inside the whale fall.

The God-Rebel feeds on the chaotic beings, devouring their origins, refining their foundations, and replenishing itself.

For ordinary chaotic beings, devouring them would only increase their cultivation level.

It can devour chaotic beings that contain ancient bloodlines, allowing them to break through bottlenecks and reach higher realms.

Whale falls are such an existence.

Unfortunately, he took it.

A slow smile crept onto Xuan Du's lips.

The smile was faint, yet it carried a hint of understanding.

After venting its anger for a long time, the Taotie finally calmed down.

Those blood-red eyes remained gloomy, but now held a hint of helplessness.

"That's enough."

It murmured softly:

"What's lost is lost."

"The chaos is vast and boundless. Although beings containing ancient bloodlines are few, they are not impossible to find."

"It just requires more time and more effort."

It remained silent for a moment, then suddenly let out a cold snort:

"That fellow was able to take that whale away right under my nose, and I couldn't sense him at all. He must have some kind of treasure protecting him."

"If we meet again, we will make sure he is utterly destroyed, body and soul!"

As soon as the sound faded, it turned around and took a step forward.

The enormous, pitch-black figure slowly disappeared into the depths of chaos.

This time, it did not turn back.

Xuan Du stood ten thousand miles away, watching the disappearing figure, and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

gone.

This time, he's really gone.

Only after confirming that the Taotie would not turn back did I relax slightly.

"I didn't expect the Taotie to be so cautious."

Xuan Du murmured to himself, his voice tinged with a hint of emotion.

During the Great Calamity of Ferocious Beasts, Taotie was known for its ferocity and cruelty, and he originally thought that this scoundrel was nothing more than a reckless fellow.

It seems now that none of those who survived the billion-dollar club were simple characters.

That rage, that roar, that search—all were merely appearances.

The real Taotie is deep-thinking, cautious, and suspicious.

If he hadn't waited a few more years, he would probably have been discovered by now.

Xuan Du raised his eyes and looked in the direction where Taotie had disappeared.

A faint glimmer of light flashed deep within those eyes, which were as calm as an ancient well.

Having lost Whale Fall, Taotie must find other chaotic beings to make up for it.

And what it is looking for must be an existence at the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal.

Only beings with such cultivation levels can have their essence absorbed by the gods and thus be of use against them.

The Primordial Golden Immortal is nothing more than an everyday food.

The Primordial Great Luo is the real tonic.

Xuan Du's mind raced with thoughts.

Following the Taotie is much easier than searching for a needle in a haystack in the midst of chaos.

Not only can they find chaotic beings, but they can also find beings at the level of Primordial Grand Luo.

If he were accepted as a disciple, the feedback power would be enough to allow him to break through the bottleneck from the third to the fourth level of the Heavenly Realm.

Even higher.

A slow smile crept onto Xuan Du's lips.

Only after confirming that Taotie would not turn back did he take a step forward.

The void rippled silently.

The figure in green vanished from the spot in an instant.

He didn't pursue it too closely.

It trailed far behind the Taotie, separated by millions of miles.

This distance was enough for him to sense the Taotie's movements.

That was enough to make Taotie unaware of his presence.

Under the cover of the Chaos Pearl, even someone at the peak of the Ninth Heaven would not be able to detect it easily.

Moreover, Taotie is only in the fourth heaven.

Xuandu remained calm and composed, maintaining a steady pace.

He needs to see where the Taotie is going.

What kind of creatures are you going to seek?

Where should I report this?

Where in the chaos does the ferocious beast king, Shenni, hide?

The Taotie raced along without stopping.

It seemed to be on its way, or perhaps searching.

Every few years, it would stop, its blood-red eyes scanning its surroundings.

Wherever that gaze passed, the chaotic energy stagnated slightly, and the void trembled gently.

It is searching for traces of chaotic beings.

But each time, it returned disappointed.

The chaos is too great, and the life forms are too few.

Even beings at the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal are not easy to find.

"Damn it!"

The Taotie growled, its voice filled with irritation:

"We've searched for hundreds of years, but we haven't found a single Primordial Grand Luo!"

"Even among the Primordial Golden Immortals, only a few second-rate individuals could be found."

"That meager amount of essence isn't even enough to fill Your Majesty's teeth!"

It grew angrier as it spoke, and its malevolent aura surged wildly.

Despite its anger, it dared not stop.

The task assigned by His Majesty must be completed.

Otherwise, even one of the four ferocious beasts would not be able to withstand the consequences.

Taotie took a deep breath, suppressed its agitation, and continued forward.

Thousands of miles away.

Xuan Du stood with his hands behind his back amidst the chaotic air currents, his gaze as calm as still water.

Through centuries of tracking, he has learned a great deal.

Taotie is searching for chaotic beings at the Hunyuan Daluo level.

That was prepared for God's rebellion.

Shen Ni wants to use the origin of chaotic beings to break through the bottleneck.

That bottleneck is probably the threshold for becoming a Primordial Taiji Golden Immortal.

If Shen Nizhen were to take that step, even if the Dao Ancestor Hongjun himself were to arrive, he might not be a match for him.

At that time, the great primordial era will be in grave danger.

Xuan Du's gaze narrowed slightly.

He cannot let God's rebellion succeed.

But you can't expose yourself either.

They can only intercept it secretly.

Taotie searched for a hundred years, but found nothing.

It finally stopped, its blood-red eyes filled with resentment.

"That's enough."

It murmured softly:

"Let's deal with that injured guy instead."

As soon as the sound faded, it turned and sped off into the depths of chaos.

Xuan Du's eyes flickered slightly.

He sensed that direction.

There, the surging of chaotic energy was more intense than elsewhere.

Like a surging tide, like a raging storm.

Even a Primordial Golden Immortal would find it difficult to stay in such an environment for long.

But it is precisely because of this that such places are most likely to give birth to powerful chaotic beings.

The Taotie is going there.

Xuandu took a step forward.

Followed by.

It's another hundred years.

The Taotie finally stopped.

It stood before a surging mass of chaotic energy, its blood-red eyes fixed intently ahead.

There, the chaotic energy danced wildly like billions of giant dragons, storms raged, and gales were as sharp as knives.

Even a Primordial Golden Immortal, upon entering it, could not last more than a moment.

But the Taotie didn't move.

It is waiting.

Wait until the storm subsides.

When the chaotic energy subsided slightly.

Wait until the creature hidden within reveals its weakness.

Xuan Du stood tens of thousands of miles away, concealing his aura with the Chaos Pearl, his gaze piercing through the surging air currents, falling into the depths of the storm.

He sensed it.

There, there is a presence.

Extremely strong, extremely prosperous, extremely vast.

Like a blazing sun, suspended in the chaos.

The Primordial Golden Immortal.

The Fifth Heaven.

It is a level higher than the Taotie.

He was two levels higher than him.

Xuan Du's eyes brightened slightly.

The aura was strong, but somewhat chaotic.

It looked like it was injured, or perhaps it was asleep.

This is the moment that Taotie has been waiting for.

That living being is its target.

Xuan Du's mind raced, but his face remained impassive.

He simply stood quietly thousands of miles away, watching the Taotie, watching the storm, watching the slumbering aura.

Taotie waited for a full ten years.

Ten years later, the storm has subsided somewhat.

The raging chaotic winds and surging chaotic energy finally began to subside.

The Taotie moved.

With a single step, its enormous, dark form plunged straight into the storm.

A fierce and malevolent aura suddenly erupted!

On those jet-black scales, the innate Dao patterns suddenly blazed brightly!

Ignoring everything else, it tore through the storm and charged toward that slumbering aura!

"roar!!!"

A roar that shook the chaos for billions of miles!

The sleeping creature has awakened.

A colossal figure burst forth from the depths of the storm!
