Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger.

The supreme rules of this world gave birth to nine complete primordial paths. Among them, the primordial path of destruction gave birth to the world beast, a darling of destruction. It only needs to grow normally step by step to reach the peak level of God King and possess many abilities such as perfect life form, clone technique, and the ability to generate legions.

The appearance of a peak-level world beast is a great threat even to the two ancient kingdoms.

Because peak-level world beasts are not only powerful themselves, but can also breed legion warriors. They possess invisible and formless energy, as well as clones, making them extremely survivable. Once they reach their peak, even beings like the Flame Wind Ancestor would find it difficult to completely annihilate them under the suppression of supreme rules.

But despite their seemingly carefree lives, the Beast of the Realm is actually bound by many constraints.

They are born with a desire to destroy the world, and only after being enslaved by their souls can they suppress their instinctive desires.

A powerful being who has comprehended a complete and fundamental Dao can withstand the great destruction of the Origin World and continue to exist. However, the World Beasts are different. They are born from the fundamental Dao of destruction and will also perish with the arrival of the great destruction.

Therefore, their fate was already sealed from the moment they were born.

They either fall on the path to destruction, or perish along with the great annihilation of this world.

Even within the Chaotic Origin Space, among the countless Calamity Beasts born, only a very few are able to break free from the shackles of fate, escape the destiny of annihilation, achieve a level surpassing God-King, and become truly free and unrestrained Calamity Beasts, thus freed from the constraints of mind and life.

"I'm not practicing anymore!"

The handsome young man closed the book of secret runes that was floating in front of him, casually tossed it aside, and turned to disappear into the hall.

Throughout the long history of the Tianmu Kingdom, only two copies of the Yuan inheritance have been obtained. One copy was held by the Purple Wood God King, and the other copy is the Secret Rune Book in front of us. In order to help the peak world beasts break the shackles of fate, it has been entrusted to it for a long time to facilitate its comprehension.

But at this moment, the precious book of secret runes was casually discarded by the other party, as if it were trash on the ground.

The handsome young man reappeared atop a majestic mountain. Alone atop the peak, he watched the undulating sea of ​​clouds, gulping down wine and occasionally tearing at the flesh in his hand, muttering indistinctly, "This is the life a Beast of the Realm should live!"

Beasts of the Realm are born yearning for freedom!

The primordial universe within the three thousand dimensions surrounding the Origin Continent will give birth to Realm Beasts. Therefore, many powerful figures on the Origin Continent who have destroyed nations and sects will try to venture deep into the Cosmic Sea and travel to the primordial universe in order to enslave Realm Beasts and return to take revenge!

But how difficult it is to enslave the Beasts of the Realm!

First, breaking through the suppression of the original will and resisting the primordial universe is one of the difficulties.

Moreover, not every primordial universe cycle produces a World Beast. World Beasts are born out of necessity. Even if one can reach the primordial universe, encountering a newly born World Beast and enslaving it requires a certain amount of luck.

Besides, all the beasts in the realm yearn for freedom.

To enslave the Beasts of the Realm, one must also possess the ability to suppress them, preventing them from choosing to end their own lives.

In the original story, Luo Feng enslaved the world beast Morosa because of his own strength, coupled with the support and suppression of the Star Tower, a supreme treasure that surpasses the level of a god-king. Otherwise, given the pride of the world beast, how could it have stood by and watched itself be enslaved?

Just as the handsome young beast at the peak of the realm was cultivating on the mountaintop, a middle-aged man appeared beside him.

She whispered, "Ayu."

"Big brother."

The handsome young man glanced at the middle-aged man, raised the wine jar in his hand, and said, "I'm sorry, brother, I couldn't get the Thousand Dreams Fruit."

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Ayu, you have collected a vast amount of resources for me over the countless years, and you have already exchanged for a Hunyuan bloodline at the peak of the God King level for me. It's just a Thousand Dreams Fruit. If you didn't get it, you didn't get it. It doesn't matter."

"I'm more worried about you."

"The Origin Continent, this source world, is gradually entering its final stage. It is estimated that it will face great destruction in a few billion more epochs."

The middle-aged man, the Purple Wood God King, looked at the handsome young man and said, "As a World Beast, you were born from the source of destruction. If you cannot break through the limits and become an existence surpassing the God King level before the Great Destruction of the Origin World, you will perish along with the Great Destruction of the Origin World!"

"Ayu!"

Seeing that the handsome young man still seemed indifferent, the Purple Wood God-King's voice gradually grew louder: "You gave me the Primordial Bloodline at the peak of the God-King realm, helping me cultivate a peak God-King life form, wasn't it all so that I could leave the Origin Continent through the teleportation channel left by Yuan when the Great Destruction arrives!?"

"But the day the Origin Continent is destroyed will be the day you fall. How can I leave like this!"

"Of all the people in the world, you're my only true family!"

"without you."

Do you think I'll leave alone?

Upon hearing this, the handsome young man was struck dumb, staring blankly at the Purple Wood God King. The Purple Wood God King had been with him since the beginning of his life, and it was precisely because of the Purple Wood God King's help and guidance that he was able to defeat his fellow beastmen and become the supreme Beast King!

He's called the eldest brother, but he's actually the father!

It can be said that without the Purple Wood God King, there would be no A Yu today.

But it's too difficult for him.

The Beast King is born to be the darling of the Great Dao of Destruction. It can be said to be the embodiment of the Great Dao of Destruction. From its birth to its growth into the peak of the God King, it has become accustomed to the various mysteries of the Great Dao of Destruction naturally emerging in its mind, and naturally achieved the peak level of the God King.

Although he sometimes followed the guidance of the Purple Wood God King to comprehend things on his own, he had already become accustomed to this convenient method of cultivation.

Now, relying on one's own enlightenment to cultivate oneself, yet endless years pass and one remains stagnant, this feeling is truly unbearable and torturous!

The handsome young man said in a low voice, "I have tried, but I can't seem to make any further progress. It's as if the shackles of fate have locked me firmly in place. I've tried to cultivate, tried to absorb new mysteries and integrate them into the Great Dao of Destruction."

"But I can't do it."

For A Yu, the complete Dao of Destruction was simply too perfect. After countless ages of reflection, he was still unable to truly take that first step.

He created many secret techniques and tried various methods to improve his state of mind, but in the end he remained stagnant.

"No, Ayu, you can do it!"

The Purple Wood God King looked at the handsome young man and said, "You have already made progress. Haven't you created some new secret techniques over the years? These are your accumulated skills. As long as you continue, you will eventually break through!"

The handsome young man shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It takes countless eons for there to be even a slight improvement. What change can there be in the remaining billions of eons?"

"Breaking boundaries is too difficult."

"Brother, the fate of my clan was sealed at the very beginning of our existence. Even if we struggle for billions of eons, it will all be in vain. Why force me to endure such torment?"

"I want to live happily for the remaining billions of years."

Upon hearing this, the Purple Wood God King sighed softly and said, "Very well, then I won't force you anymore."

As he spoke, the Purple Wood God King took out a jar of fine wine that he had treasured for many years from his storage space and tossed it to the handsome young man, saying, "I originally intended to save this wine until you and I left the Origin Continent and went to that vast Chaos Origin Space."

"It seems like there won't be many opportunities in the future."

"you're right."

"Whether we endure the torment or the joy, it all passes by anyway, so why should we care about the length of time? We've long been used to being together for so many years. Let's enjoy these billions of years to come!"

The handsome young man's expression froze slightly.

He seemed to understand the unspoken meaning in the Purple Wood God King's words, but the Purple Wood God King didn't give him a chance to speak. He directly picked up the wine jar and said to the handsome young man, "Come, drink! Let's drink today and be merry, tomorrow's troubles will come tomorrow!"

As he spoke, he poured the wine directly into his mouth.

Helpless, the handsome young man could only follow the example of the Purple Wood God King and raise the wine jar.

But when the wine he had longed for finally entered his mouth, he couldn't taste anything at all; it was like drinking plain water, completely tasteless.

He looked at the Purple Wood God King and seemed to be able to feel the unspeakable pain in the other's face.

"My elder brother said a long time ago that all his closest relatives had perished in an ancient war, and I was his only remaining family member." Thinking of this, the handsome young man felt a sudden pang in his heart: "If I were gone too, wouldn't it mean that my elder brother would have no reason to continue his cultivation?"

"If I were the only one to perish, that would be fine."

"But if this drags my elder brother down with me, making him face the destruction of the Source World and perish together, wouldn't that be too selfish?"

The handsome young man recalled that when he stepped into the peak of the God King level and became a world beast that was famous throughout the continent, after helping his elder brother destroy their enemies, he could clearly feel that his elder brother's attachment to the world had faded.

During that time, he even worried that his older brother might choose to commit suicide at any moment.

Even now, many things in the Tianmu Kingdom are handled by his clones and the warriors of his Destruction Legion. Just like the battle for the territory of the Food Kingdom not long ago, if the Purple Wood God King hadn't valued his friendship with the King of Han Kingdom so much, why would he have sent Dark Heaven Venerable?

"No, that won't do!"

A sense of urgency suddenly arose in the handsome young man's heart: "Big brother has little attachment to the Origin Continent, or even to life and death. If I am also gone, I'm afraid big brother will really follow me to face the great destruction."

"Fine, it's only a few billion eons anyway, might as well go all in!"

"I refuse to believe I can't break free from these constraints!"

This time, he was not doing it for himself, but for his elder brother, the Purple Wood God King. The handsome young man, A Yu, once again felt the urge to cultivate for revenge for his elder brother. Although he did not speak, he secretly made up his mind.

Although the Purple Wood God King was drinking wine, his attention was focused on the handsome young man beside him.

Ah Yu was someone he had raised himself, so he knew Ah Yu's temperament very well. He also knew that if Ah Yu was unwilling to do something, even if he could use his status as the older brother to force Ah Yu to do it, Ah Yu would not devote all his energy to cultivation.

Therefore, he could only use this method to manipulate A-Yu's emotions and make her choose to cultivate voluntarily.

When he saw that even when Ayulian's favorite wine was placed in front of him, he only took a small sip, the Purple Wood God King knew that his plan had succeeded.

He successfully aroused A Yu's desire to cultivate!

He had to admit that after spending countless years with A Yu, they had indeed developed a deep bond, and he truly did not want A Yu to perish in the great destruction of this Fangyuan world because she had not broken free from her shackles.

But the more important reason he forced Ayu to cultivate was actually his close relatives from his vulnerable childhood.

In that war of annihilation, he was unable to withstand the enemy's invasion. In the end, his country was destroyed and his family perished. His ministers, his clan, and his closest relatives all perished in that war. He was hunted down so hard that he had nowhere to turn, and in the end, he had no choice but to take a desperate gamble and was forced to venture into the cosmic sea.

He was certainly aware of the dangers of the cosmic sea.

But he knew even more clearly that his only hope of turning the tables and getting revenge was to enslave the Beast of the Realm!

Beasts of the Realm are born symbols of destruction!

Once a World Beast King reaches its peak, it possesses terrifying combat power at the Emperor level. Even its enemies are no match for it. In fact, on the entire Origin Continent, only the two ancient kingdoms have the strength to stop its advance.

Therefore, he risked everything and chose to fight a desperate battle!

And then he succeeded!

He did bring back Ayu and nurtured her to the peak of the God King level. The strength of a peak world beast is terrifying. In front of Ayu, his enemies couldn't even reincarnate. Their entire kingdom was destroyed!

The current Tianmu Kingdom is built on the foundation of the territory of its former enemy.

He forced A-Yu to cultivate not only in the hope that she could break free from the shackles of fate and become an existence surpassing the God-King level, but also for his own sake.

He was very clear about his talent.

Without A Yu, and without the Primordial Bloodline of the God King peak level that the other party accumulated over countless years, he wouldn't even have reached the current God King peak level, let alone have the opportunity to go further in the future.

Therefore, if he wants to go further, break free from the cage, and become the master of the Origin Continent's Source World before the ancestors of the two ancient kingdoms and the Eastern Wilderness, he can only rely on A Yu to continue to protect him and collect various rare treasures for him in order to explore the way forward.

The reason he went to such lengths to urge Ayu to cultivate was that he himself also worked hard to cultivate.

It was because he had met Yuan by chance.

That being, even within the Hunyuan Space, was a top-tier expert—Yuan!

The Purple Wood God King once asked Yuan if there was a way to resurrect his deceased family members. Yuan replied that if he could break free from the cage and become the master of the Source World, he could save any dead living being from the endless river of time and space.

In other words, if he can become the master of the source world, then he may be able to resurrect his closest relatives!

Based on this possibility, the Purple Wood God King has been guiding A Yu's cultivation. He even left A Yu the precious secret pattern scroll left behind by Yuan, so that the other party could observe and learn day and night in order to improve.

But the Beast Realm is far too undisciplined.

They are beings born to destroy. Even with his suppression, this destructive instinct is well hidden deep in Ayu's soul, but it also intensifies his obsession with food.

The reason why Luo Shen became so fond of enjoying fine food, wine, and music after arriving on the Origin Continent was not only related to the Great Destruction Heart Refining Technique, but more importantly, it was also due to the influence of the Abyss Avatar Beast King on his soul.

He couldn't just stand by and watch A Yu lie around enjoying himself until the end of this Origin World, so he came up with this idea to ignite A Yu's passion for cultivation.

"Hopefully this will keep A-Yu's enthusiasm for cultivation going for longer."

Whether this move will allow A-Yu to persevere until she breaks free from the shackles of fate, even the Purple Wood God King himself wasn't sure. (End of Chapter)
