Jiang Chen’s goal was Dao Monarch-level Fierce Beasts representing the Five Elements. He calculated that he would need just five Dao Monarch-level beasts to perfect the Five Elements inside the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Pagoda, thereby achieving the perfect upgrade.
However, Jiang Chen was always cautious. He thought five might not be enough, so he prepared for at least ten Dao Monarch level beasts.
This upgrade of the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Pagoda carried too many of Jiang Chen’s hopes. Unacceptable to fail, he has to succeed. Therefore, before making the leap, he would make all preparations to the fullest, even to the point of over-preparedness.
The Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Pagoda vibrated as the innate clear qi came pouring down, suppressing a Dao Monarch-level Fierce Beast below, slowing its movements considerably.
At that moment, the Taichu Divine Sword and Dutian Divine Sword simultaneously erupted from the void, piercing the eyes of the beast and directly entering its mind, severing its True Spirit and ending all its vitality.
With Jiang Chen’s current strength, it was easy to kill a beast at the early stage of Dao Monarch. Mid-stage Dao Monarch beasts could be defeated with a bit more effort.
Beasts at the late stages of Dao Monarch presented some trouble. Only through intense battles could life or death be determined.
As for beasts at the perfect Dao Monarch level, Jiang Chen would not show them any courtesy. Like now, upon meeting, all magic treasures would be used, piling on its death.
Beasts were indeed formidable, but their biggest weakness was their lack of intelligence.
Without intelligence, their strategies were limited. They couldn’t even use magic treasures. How could they stand against cultivators with a variety of methods?
Especially someone like Jiang Chen, who had many innate spiritual treasures, could easily kill beasts whose cultivation level was much higher than his own, as long as he seized the opportunity.
The bodies that the beasts took pride in were like paper in front of supreme innate spiritual treasures. They would shatter on contact.
It’s said that the primal innate beasts of the era of the opening of heaven, each of them were indistinguishable from innate deities. Not only did they have extraordinary wisdom, they could also use magic treasures and cultivate methods like cultivators.
Presumably, those beasts must have been terrifyingly powerful back then, hence they were regarded as mortal enemies by those high above innate deities.
However, all this was unrelated to Jiang Chen. Currently, his priority was to collect enough original sources of the Five Elements as soon as possible for the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Pagoda to complete its upgrade.
Jiang Chen waved his hand, shattered the beast corpse in front of him into pure innate Five Elements original source, letting the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Pagoda devour it.
"That’s the fifteenth one!"
After taking down this beast, Jiang Chen did the math. He realized that after steady efforts, he had successfully slayed fifteen Dao Monarch Fierce Beasts and over thirty late-stage Dao Monarch ones.
The innate sources of the Five Elements he gained were enough for the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Pagoda to be upgraded, even exceeding many times.
Jiang Chen had collected so much original source of the Five Elements in the spirit of preparedness.
However, even with an overabundance of preparedness, he had enough original sources of the Five Elements. As a result, after cleaning the battlefield, Jiang Chen was thinking of leaving here to return to the perimeter of the Five Elements Secret Realm, to focus on cultivating the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Pagoda.
Just as Jiang Chen prepared to leave, he suddenly sensed something and turned his gaze towards a distant place.
Over there, innate turbid air seemed to be erupting, with primordial qi surging forth, making it seem quite extraordinary.
"This scene, why does it feel so familiar? It looks like the unique aura emitted by a certain treasure."
After frowning and watching for a while, the more Jiang Chen observed the anomaly, the more familiar it seemed. However, he just couldn’t remember where he had seen it before.
Focusing his mind, Jiang Chen began to search conscientiously through his memories. Then, he finally found the similar records in the inheritance of Emperor Xi.
"Soil of Rest from Nine Heavens!"
"This anomaly is caused by the aura released by Soil of Rest."
From the inheritance of Emperor Xi, Jiang Chen finally knew the origin of this anomaly. It was the aura released by Empress Nuwa’s treasured artifact, the Soil of Rest for the Human Race that caused this scene.
In an instant, Jiang Chen became excited and even set aside the refining of the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Pagoda. He was eager to go to the origin of this anomaly and extract Soil of Rest from it.
That was the Soil of Rest from the Nine Heavens, the supreme merit magic treasure in legends. Transformed by the soil of the thirty-sixth-grade Chaos Green Lotus, it was the origin of turbid and the source of all creations with unparalleled defenses.
There is a saying, one clump of yellow soil revealed an unusual golden color. It grew with the wind, its uses were boundless.
The golden light that resembled gold but was not gold spread out, and yellow clouds swelled up. Accompanying the external attacks, it expanded when the enemy expanded and shrank when the enemy did, moving with it, tough and dense, without any flaws.
Once entering the yellow cloud, it felt like being wrappd in cotton. You can’t move forward an inch. Even the legendary Slaying God Spear’s qi was helpless against it.
If it was cast out, unless the strength was particularly profound, transcending mortality, or you had equavalent magic treasures, you would not be able to resist the innate earth god thunder coming from that boundless yellow soil.
Once sprinkled, yellow dust surged instantly. Whoever came would struggle to escape the fate of total annihilation of both body and spirit.
