Chapter 38: Silently Developing Strength, The Great Tribulation Finally Passes

  Originally, Yang Le planned to avoid this disaster and use the twelve Heavenly God flags to absorb the evil spirits, killing intent, and calamity energy, allowing him to advance and ascend.

  But one day, a fierce beast with the power of a demon lord broke into the Twelve Heavenly Demon Killing Array on the Xianyao Island. It was torn apart and devoured by the twelve violent demon gods, its flesh and blood were consumed, and its body solidified even more, its height suddenly increasing to 100 million feet.

  Yang Le saw this scene, his heart moved, wondering if he could recover these lost beasts that had gone mad and only knew how to slaughter. If successful, keeping a group of powerful demonic beasts with the strength of a demon lord in captivity would make Xian Yao Island's defenses as solid as gold, without any worries or concerns. From then on, traveling through the vast expanse of the universe wouldn't require him to rush back to Xian Yao Island every time.

  The demonic beast that can enhance the power of the Twelve Great Demon Gods is actually the flesh and blood of the ferocious beast, but it can evolve by absorbing the evil energy released during the great calamity in the vast wilderness. Although it's slower, time can make up for it. However, the ferocious beasts that have enhanced the power of the demonic gods have been growing for billions of years, killing one is a huge loss, if they can be recovered, then the top power of the Carefree Island will not increase drastically.

  A hundred years later, the Twelve Great Demon Gods captured another fierce beast with a demonic power. Yang Le controlled the Twelve Heavenly Demon Flags to knock the beast unconscious and then began to study the reason for its frenzy.

  Perception pierces through the brow of the ferocious beast, arriving at its sea of consciousness, where endless chaos churns like boiling water. The massive perception condenses into Yang Le's form, darting through the boundless sea of consciousness, searching for the hidden demon core in the vast expanse of the sea of consciousness.

  After a long search, I finally found the demon core of that fierce beast in the sky above a continent that had emerged from the sea of consciousness.

  However, the situation seems to be very bad. In a huge diamond-shaped transparent body, a hundred-meter-sized ferocious beast-like demon soul was bound by billions of extremely yin and extremely evil turbid air like a large glutinous rice dumpling, even if it was asleep, the twisted face still showed extreme pain.

  In this foreign realm of Honghuang, the divine core, magic core and demon core cultivated by the gods, demons and monsters are different from the primordial spirit of the practitioners in the Pangu world. The primordial spirit of the practitioners in the Pangu world is the supreme primordial spirit that collects the clear energy and spiritual energy between heaven and earth to nurture the soul and achieve enlightenment, which can resonate with the heavenly heart, comprehend all things, and understand the realm. As for the erosion of turbid energy, it's like water and fire are incompatible, either you die or I live.

  But in the foreign world of Honghuang, this is the so-called divine core, which is a combination of self-soul law and memory, etc. It has great resistance to invasion by turbid gas, but it cannot avoid being affected by the killing gas, causing loss of reason.

  The crux of the problem has been found. As long as the turbid air of the utmost yin and utmost killing in the demon soul is eliminated, it should be possible to restore one's mind. However, how can the outer layer of the divine core be broken through to contact the demon soul inside?

  Yang Le thought for a long time, and suddenly slapped his forehead. The fierce beast outside that was thousands of feet high was engulfed in the raging flames of the three flavors of true fire. Inside, the demonic soul in the sea of consciousness suddenly opened its eyes wide, saw a stranger breaking in, and let out a furious roar.

  A hundred-foot-large ferocious beast's evil spirit leapt out like a lion, passing through the divine core, and pounced on Yang Le.

  "It's just in time," Yang Le smiled and said.

  A small, half-gold and half-black dagger emitting a devastating aura of destruction pierced through the beast's spiritual sea, arriving in front of the demon soul that had just escaped from the demon core. The destructive aura that destroyed everything caused the entire spiritual sea to churn with turbulence, as endless chaos dodged about, leaving behind an enormous void in the center of the spiritual sea.

  That demon saw the small knife and was extremely terrified, turning its head and running towards the demon core.

  Yang Le would not let it escape, his small knife twisted and transformed into a cold and stern Yang Le, instantly appearing in front of the demon soul, blocking its path. His right hand pointed at the demon soul, a pure destructive energy like a rope bound the hundred-meter-long demon soul tightly.

  That destructive aura continuously devoured the turbid aura of extreme yin and extreme evil on the demon's body, and with each devouring, the destructive aura also condensed a bit.

  As time passed, the billions of turbid auras of extreme yin and killing intent on Bai Zhan's ghostly soul decreased at a visible rate, and his bright red eyes occasionally flashed with several rays of light.

  In this way, Yang Le used the energy-absorbing ability of the Causal Knife to absorb the turbid Qi of the Extreme Yin and Extreme Killing in the core of the Fierce Beast. He believed that after a period of rest, the Fierce Beast would recover its clarity and become a renowned giant beast in the vast expanse of the Desolate Expanse.

  In this short thousand years, Yang Le has captured three demon lords with violent beasts that broke into the Xianyao Island area, ten god-level violent beasts, and about a thousand ancient god-level violent beasts. It can be said that now the strength of Xianyao Island is surging violently, comparable to some large empires, and there is a big gap with the nine major Tian Chao and four major mysterious organizations.

  Apart from the Five Lineages' Ancestor using the Five Elements' fundamental laws to separate the Chaos Beasts and maintain the status quo of this vast and desolate world, the other three battlefields were not very smooth. Due to the difficulty in killing the Wheel of Rebirth Beast, the Heaven-Devouring Beast, and the Brain-Eating Beast, their magical powers could continuously absorb energy from the universe through the fusion law, without any danger of exhaustion. Until now, they are still vigorous and full of combat power, with their battlefields constantly expanding, destroying countless spiritual veins and blessed lands, with earth veins and fire spirits erupting non-stop, forming deep chasms one after another.

  A thousand years have passed in a flash, the abyss has stopped spewing out evil spirits and malevolent energy, and it has returned to its former tranquility.

  In another year or two, the ominous and evil aura that filled the desolate expanse also gradually dissipated. The vast wilderness, which had been shrouded in gloom for thousands of years, once again welcomed the radiant illumination of the sun, moon, and countless stars. Light returned once more.

  The ferocity of the fierce beasts in various parts of the Desolate North slightly subsided, and then they saw the gods, demons, and monsters fighting to the death, and they retreated to the ice mountains and deserts in the north of the Desolate North.

  The four major legions of the Desolate Era suffered heavy losses in this great calamity. Nearly a million Ancient God positions fell, and on the surface, only five million Ancient God realm existences directly plummeted by one-fifth. The Divine Masters also fell by ten thousand names. Even among the top-tier gods with divine abilities, three hundred fell. Most died in the aftermath of battles at the quasi-saint level, while some were destroyed by powerful ferocious beasts.

  Gods and demons below the ancient god rank are like ants, constantly turning to dust in the great calamity, dispersing between heaven and earth.

  As a result, the four major legions of the Desolate Lands also had no intention of pursuing, and the entire Fierce Beast Calamity could be said to have passed. As long as they suppressed the Four Fierce Beasts back into the Abyssal Void, their mission would be accomplished.

  Suddenly, space fluctuated, and the Void Phantom Saint God appeared silently in the place where the Five Elements Clan's Ancestor and the Chaos Beast were fighting. The six of them exchanged a glance, then the Void Phantom Saint God clapped his hands together, forming an incredibly mysterious hand seal. With a stir in his heart, a spatial law burst forth, striking the space not far in front of him. The space fluctuated violently like ripples on water, expanding continuously and forming a billion-zhang-high spatial gate.

  The five Holy Ancestors drank simultaneously, and the small sky that was separated from the vast universe suddenly shrunk violently, forming a sphere with a diameter of 10,000 miles, which was thrown towards the space gate.

  On the other side, a space gate of billions of meters high stood above the abyss of devouring, and in a twinkling, a circular ball with a diameter of ten thousand miles flew out from it, and was sucked into the abyss by an extremely strong suction force.

  The Five Elements Clan's Holy Ancestor and the Void Illusionary Sacred Deity rushed to the remaining three major battlefields, respectively using the same method to seal the Reincarnation Beast, the Heaven-Devouring Beast, and the Brain-Eating Beast and throw them into the Abyss of Devouring.

  The Abyss of Devouring is indeed worthy of its name, for it produces an extremely strong suction force at all times, even the gods dare not fly over it, lest they be devoured and suffer a terrible fate. The further down one goes, the greater the suction force becomes, and even the Four Great Fierce Beasts are trapped by this enormous suction force and cannot escape, only during the once-in-a-million-years' eruption of the malevolent energy can they break free.

  As the four ferocious beasts were swallowed by the abyss, the saints and sacred demons couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
