As for the Primordial Horned Giant Dung Beetle Technique, Zixin had completed three volumes of it, the 4rd Volume titled Cocoon Break which raised his strength by two realms, 5th Volume titled Larvae 1st Shed, 6th Volume titled Larvae 2nd Shed and the 7th Volume titled Larvae 3rd Shed. He was currently still at the 7th Volume and yet to start the eight.
The 8th Volume was called the Pupa and it’s where Zixin transforms into a Pupa but it’s not that simple, Zixin had to obtain either the Void Spider’s silk or the Weaver Sparrow’s nest, not just that but he also had to complete this evolution inside a Realm Heart. The 8th Volume was very difficult to complete.
Zixin also received information about the Void Spider and the Weaver Sparrow and was absolutely terrified by this information. The Void Spider is a Battle Beast that manipulates space to create its web. The smallest web is at least as large as a Realm (Universe) or multiple Realms (Multiversal).
It’s the same for the Weaver Sparrow which solidifies space and then shape it into a blade of grass. Each blade of grass is big enough to fit a Realm inside it and many blades of grass are used to create its nest. Now, Zixin had to locate these godly beasts and take away their homes.
’Crazy! Too fucking crazy!’
Zixin wasn’t ready to face off against Multiversal entities when he himself wasn’t even a Galactic being.
’Forget it, I’ll complete the 8th Volume once I’m strong enough. It’s not like I can’t increase my strength through eating Impurities. I’ll keep eating until I reach a high enough realm, only then will I start thinking about this hellish mission.’ thought Zixin and walked through the dark cave walls. His back illuminating the dark place with a blue light.
On this broad and muscular back was a towering black bark tree with blue flame leaves and the flames on his back were so lifelike that they even emitted light when it was dark.
Once Zixin was outside, he was shocked by the growth of the Nether Tree that was now trillions and trillions of kilometres tall and wide. Compared to the tree, Zixin was practically non-existent. The tree had also undergone some changes like its leaves which were now white flames.
The white flames produced neither heat nor coldness which was a very odd thing considering they were flames. A sandworm was hidden among the foliage of the leaves on the tree and seemed to be asleep.
said the Nether Tree through telepathy.
[You can talk... of course you can talk. Yes, I’m back. Question, just how long was I gone for?] asked Zixin after calming himself down.
replied the Nether Tree.
[I see... and what exactly am I about to witness?]
The Nether Tree then stopped talking and Zixin also stopped asking questions and waited patiently for whatever was about to happen. A few minutes later, the ground started trembling before calming down, then it trembled again and calmed down. This process repeated itself which shocked and confused everyone standing on this land, then suddenly...
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Tall trees with black flame leaves rose from the ground creating forests, mountains rose from the ground, snowy regions, barren land, rainy forests and all types of other biomes. The Death Qi in the air increased in density and also became purer, the entire Demon World which was now Plane (Galaxy) size was now covered in a thick grey fog that was actually Death Qi. In some places, the fog was thin but in some places like the Nether Tree’s location, the fog was extremely thick.
The ground around the Nether Tree cracked open, Zixin was grabbed by the Nether Tree’s root. On the open ground, there was nothing but pitch darkness.
said the Nether Tree.
[Okay, okay, let me think... uhh, how about the River of Impure Death. It will be a river created from the impurities of all things and if a non-demon beings come into contact with it then their Souls, Body and Spirit will be clear of Impurities but it will also lead to their death. The race born from the Impure Death River will be called the Impure Ones and will use the Impurities as their source of power.]
[Meridians Clogging, Path Pollution, Impurities Manipulation, Bloodline Corruption, Soul Erosion, Dantian Contamination, Core Pollution, Qi Pollution, Mind Erosion, Heart Demon Amplification, Life Erosion, Life Pollution, etc.]
Before Zixin could even say anything, a piece of Soul and a drop of his blood was collected by the Nether Tree, then, a black, gooey and smelly liquid substance mixed in with the blood and Soul and finally, a leaf of white flames was added to the mixture then thrown into the dark fissure. The dense Death Qi became a massive grey cloud and a heavy down pour slowly filled the empty space.
[Alright. Then tell me when it’s complete, I’m going to the Underworld to see what’s it’s like in the Death Domain.]
Zixin was then gently placed on the ground and he disappeared underground, before he left, he had to take his crew with him or else the journey would be too boring.
Zixin then spat out a small gourd with insect totems. He’d been trying to digest the gourd but couldn’t, it remained completely intact without a blemish or even the slightest scratch.
"Just what material is it made of? And how do I use it?’ thought Zixin and dropped blood and Soul wisp on it. The gourd absorbed both the Soul wisp and blood with glee. After having its fill of his blood, the gourd started to glow in a golden red light before disappearing into Zixin’s body. The instant it entered his body, Zixin lost consciousness.
