Primordial Era: I, Yuan Hong, am solely focused on stability; humanity remains clear-headed

Chapter 224 Star Guardian Beasts, the Battle of Quasi-Saints!

"roar!"

After Yuan Hong transmitted his voice, he was waiting for a response when, unexpectedly, the giant star beast roared loudly, its eyes filled with madness, and it was about to rush up and fight him to the death.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Hong couldn't help but frown slightly.

Based on his eyesight and divine sense, he could tell that the giant beast's eyes showed no clarity and he could not sense any spirituality in them; it was simply a ferocious beast.

Where is there any reason to speak of?

"A mindless celestial behemoth? Could it be the guardian beast of this Star Fruit Tree?"

Yuan Hong's lips twitched slightly when he thought of this.

The existence of guardian beasts is, of course, very common.

Between heaven and earth, many spiritual roots and other rare and precious materials grow, each protected by corresponding beasts, much like a protective rule. Sometimes, this protection is even more powerful than any restriction.

Generally speaking, such guardian beasts have little intelligence and their rationality is extremely chaotic.

They will only follow their instincts to protect these natural treasures that have been with them since birth.

Before these rare and precious materials, spiritual roots, and medicinal herbs mature, they will not even consume them themselves, and they have been dutifully guarding them for many years.

Anyone who tries to pick the fruit will be relentlessly hunted down by the guardian spirit beast.

As for whether the guardian beast will devour the spiritual root and herb once they mature, that remains to be seen.

Some will continue to guard them without ever consuming them; their existence is probably similar to the laws of nature.

Others will consume spiritual fruits and medicines, which will greatly increase their magical power and cultivation level, and there is even a possibility that they will develop clear intelligence. From then on, even if they do not soar to the sky, it is still an extremely important qualitative change. They can exist freely in the world, just like other cultivators of all races.

This can be considered a reward from heaven and earth.

Of course, such guardian beasts are generally not very strong.

Although they might be troublesome for cultivators with low cultivation levels, such as ordinary guardian beasts, which are usually physically powerful or possess troublesome innate supernatural abilities, making them difficult to provoke.

However, basically speaking, guardian beasts at the Golden Immortal level are already considered very strong. As for Taiyi Golden Immortals, they are extremely rare, probably even among the rare beasts in the starry sky and the depths of the four seas.

As for guardian beasts at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal? Even Yuan Hong had never heard of them!

Therefore, he was extremely surprised by this guardian beast at the quasi-saint level.

Ultimately, those who reach the realm of great supernatural beings are already masters of the laws, and it is almost impossible for them to be without will, consciousness, and spiritual light. Otherwise, how could they master the laws?

Therefore, even ancient ferocious beasts, once they reach the Beast King realm where they master the power of laws, will inevitably develop intelligence; otherwise, they will be unable to master the laws and advance to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

The difference between the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm and the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm represents a qualitative leap, and this applies to all living beings, including guardian beasts.

Putting aside everything else, who among those who truly master the power of laws and can be considered great supernatural beings would be like a guardian beast, patiently waiting near a spiritual plant, silently guarding it for countless years, content to remain unknown?

A truly powerful being would have already plucked their spiritual root and fled to make a name for themselves in the outside world.

Alternatively, one could use this precious spiritual root as the core to build one's own blessed land, and then the cultivation cave would become famous throughout the world.

The guardian spirit root is merely its private property, and no one dares to say that this powerful being is some kind of guardian beast.

For example, although the Demon Saint Feilian is also beast-like, who would dare to say that he is a guardian beast?

But now, Yuan Hong has discovered that there really seems to be such peculiar creatures.

In his perception, the strength of this star beast seemed to be no weaker than that of the demon saint Fei Lian!

But the fact that such a powerful being lacked a clear consciousness naturally surprised him.

If the great immortals of the world knew this, they would probably be speechless, realizing that after countless years of cultivation, they were still no match for a chaotic, intelligent star beast.

A million thoughts flashed through Yuan Hong's mind, like lightning, disappearing in an instant; in reality, only a few breaths had passed.

In that short moment, the giant star beast charged forward!

"roar!"

As the behemoth roared, its powerful forepaws pounced forward, like a collapsing pillar supporting the sky, carrying boundless pressure and aura.

"Huff huff..."

The boundless chaotic energy was instantly shattered, exploding with a whooshing sound. Accompanied by the spiritual energy of the starry sky, it formed huge shock waves, carrying extremely surging kinetic energy.

Yuan Hong, however, remained completely unfazed by the attack.

Before his promotion, this might have seemed rather troublesome, but now...

He has already advanced to the Quasi-Saint Realm of Physical Body, and possesses an indestructible battle body at the Sixth Rank Profound Technique level. How could he be afraid of this giant beast of the same level?

"Buzz..."

Yuan Hong activated the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, and ancient chanting seemed to emanate from his body, like ancient gods reciting scriptures, as if in harmony with the heavens, as if the Dao itself was resonating with him.

A vast and boundless power of blood and qi surged into the sky, carrying powerful battle laws and generating boundless Dao power, forming its own domain and repelling all external pressures.

A terrifying golden aura, like light and fire, formed around him; this was the materialized power of his blood and qi!

Bathed in this light and flame, Yuan Hong could vaguely see the gushing blood flowing through his body, as well as his crystal-clear, jade-like skin and bones, which were more perfect than the most flawless jade in the world. His whole being seemed to have been sculpted by the Great Dao itself, as divine and holy, noble and transcendent.

"I'll use you as my first test subject after advancing to Quasi-Saint."

Yuan Hong's eyes were deep, his black hair flying wildly. He looked at the huge claws that were pouncing towards him, activated his profound power, and prepared to meet them head-on.

Although he didn't know why there was such a high-level guardian beast, already at the quasi-saint level, yet still a foolish wild beast.

Furthermore, it's strange that this cosmic behemoth hasn't eaten the star fruits yet, since most of them are already ripe.

However, he couldn't worry about too much right now; he had to suppress this giant star beast first.

Perfect timing! Both of them are at the Quasi-Saint level and possess powerful physical bodies, making them the best whetstones for him to test his strength!

"boom!!!"

Yuan Hong neither dodged nor evaded, but instead threw a punch straight forward. His blood and qi condensed, and the instinctive operation of the Law of Battle and the Great Battle Technique enhanced the formation of a golden pillar of light that reached the heavens and the earth!

This fist of light was dazzling, magnificent, and vast, seemingly more eye-catching than the magnificent stars of the vast world below, illuminating the eternally unchanging, dim starry sky.
