Primordial Era: Infinite Evolution, Starting with Intercepting the Queen Mother of the West

"What is that?"

"Is this what causes the Pixiu's endless self-repair?"

"When did such a wondrous treasure first appear in the primordial world?"

With a slight narrowing of his eyes, Di Tian felt a surge of curiosity.

After all, the injuries this thing repairs are no ordinary ones; they were the result of Di Tian's all-out attack.

Let alone a Pixiu!

Even any cultivator at the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm would surely perish under such devastation.

But now?

Although the Pixiu looked disheveled and even cried out in pain.

However, this is merely a superficial injury, and in the current situation, it is not even capable of causing a fatal wound or seriously injuring the victim.

And all of this is because of that single, inconspicuous crystal.

Upon thinking of this, Di Tian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he murmured, "Although I don't know exactly what it is!"

"But given its terrifying healing abilities, this item must be incredibly valuable!"

"I'll get my hands on it first. I want to see if you can maintain this regenerative ability without it!"

Having made up his mind, Di Tian made his move!

With a single step, Di Tian moved like a startled swan, graceful as a swimming dragon, and arrived in front of the Pixiu in just a few strides.

To ensure that the creature before him posed no threat, Di Tian unhesitatingly raised and swung his giant axe: "One axe splits Yin and Yang!"

In an instant, another massive axe-like aura descended, continuing to ravage the Pixiu's body.

"what……"

"what……"

For a moment, screams echoed continuously.

At this moment, the Pixiu was completely powerless to resist, as the axe energy it had just received had already made it extremely uncomfortable.

Di Tian's cautious actions only made his situation more dire, to the point that he was unable to even move.

"Now!"

Di Tian wouldn't hesitate to seize the opportunity.

He took a step and arrived at the location of the Pixiu. With the strength of his powerful body, he ignored the rampant axe energy and reached out with his left hand to grab the crystal that emitted a dark blue light.

No~

The Pixiu's expression changed drastically when the crystal was caught.

Ignoring his own pain, he instinctively gripped his spear tightly, wanting to retaliate.

Unfortunately, it was all too late.

The moment he grabbed the crystal, Di Tian suddenly pulled harder, yelling, "Get out!"

puff-

Blood splattered, flesh flew everywhere, and the crystal was forcibly pulled out by Di Tian, ​​along with some fragments of the heart and internal organs, which flew out together. Then, it was cut and destroyed by the axe energy, turning directly into a cloud of blood mist.

Not only that.

Without the power of the crystal, the Pixiu's terrifying regenerative ability has also disappeared.

This also caused the Pixiu's body to collapse, shatter, and disintegrate at a visible speed under the ravages of the axe energy, leaving only a skeleton and a dragon pearl emitting a pale golden glow floating there.

"Emperor Heaven~"

Inside the Dragon Ball, the Pixiu's frustrated, angry, and hateful growls echoed throughout.

With only a remnant soul remaining, he roared in agony, but he was no longer a threat to Di Tian, ​​and even escaping was no longer an option.

"interesting!"

"They're still alive!"

Upon seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Di Tian's eyes.

However, he quickly calmed down.

After all, he was one of the nine sons of the Ancestral Dragon, and the guardian chosen by Heaven. It would be surprising if he were killed so easily.

Thinking of this, Di Tian casually threw out the giant axe, which suppressed the dragon pearl.

To ensure the Dragon Ball wouldn't move and the Pixiu inside had no chance of escaping, Di Tian's gaze was also focused on the special crystal.

[Ding! Mission complete. Reward: One evolution privilege and one drop of Ancestral Dragon's essence blood!]

Just then, the system notification rang out, and Di Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

The objective of the mission was to defeat the guardian, and now that he has completed the mission, it means that there will be no enemy stronger than the Pixiu in this area.

Upon thinking of this, Di Tian subconsciously controlled a wisp of his divine sense to invade the crystal and investigate.

"Hmm~"

However, in just a moment, Di Tian couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

For no other reason than that he clearly sensed a special resistance emanating from it, even mixed with the majestic might of heaven.

Before Di Tian could even react, a majestic and unquestionable voice rang in his ears: "Your Majesty, obey my decree, submit to me, and I will grant you the opportunity to attain sainthood!"

"Good heavens!"

Suddenly opening his eyes, Di Tian severed that divine consciousness without hesitation.

As a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth, he thought with utter horror, "What the hell! The voice of Heaven!"

"This crystal actually contains the will of Heaven!"

"They even offered to entice me with the promise of becoming a saint. I think I now understand why this Pixiu became a guardian, and even helped the Heavenly Dao to deal with the Dragon Clan."

"The allure of attaining sainthood is fatal to any cultivator."

"If I didn't know that the Heavenly Dao was no good, if I didn't know that the Pixiu was merely a puppet, a guardian suppressed by the Heavenly Dao in this place, I'm afraid I would have been tempted!"

As he spoke, Di Tian suddenly exerted force with his left hand.

In an instant, physical strength and the power of laws surged forth, frantically squeezing and crystallizing.

In just a few breaths, a shattering sound rang out: "Crack!"

Immediately afterwards, the crystal shattered into powder, from which a wisp of pale golden gas flew out, carrying the might of heaven, which was none other than a trace of the primordial power of the Heavenly Dao.

However, immediately after it appeared, it began to float upwards, clearly indicating that it wanted to escape from this place.

"Imprison them!"

Seeing this, how could Di Tian possibly allow it to escape?

Crystallization is merely a carrier; this trace of origin is its essence.

Moreover, because he destroyed the vessel that held it, the will of Heaven within it had also collapsed and dissipated. This trace of origin could be considered a great tonic.

He held it firmly in his palm and examined it closely.

After a long pause, Di Tian finally put it away, muttering, "It's a good item, but I can't refine it yet!"

"One needs at least a quasi-saint level of primordial spirit cultivation to absorb its energy!"

"Fortunately, it can be preserved; waiting a while isn't out of the question!"

As he spoke, Di Tian put it into the Devouring Heaven Gourd.

As a supreme innate treasure, after the Heaven-Devouring Gourd absorbed it, the origin of the Heavenly Dao drifted within it and could no longer move.

Moreover, due to the unique nature of the Heaven-Devouring Gourd, the fluctuations emanating from the Heavenly Dao's primordial power were absorbed by the wine within, further enhancing its quality and efficacy.

However, Di Tian did not immediately check its effects. Instead, he turned to look at the location of the dragon pearl and said, "Pixiu, come out!"

"I know you're not dead yet!"

"You should be back to normal by now. Tell me the details!"
