King of Creation Chapter 2069 - 2054: Beyond Dao Realm
Previously on King of Creation...
In the Demon Soul Realm, Ye Zhen cheerfully looked at the body left behind by the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits, almost drooling.
As for the escaping Primordial Spirit of the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits, Ye Zhen didn’t give it a second thought.
For beings like the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits, once they lose their body, even if they find a somewhat suitable body for possession, both cultivation and combat power will significantly decline.
Especially for the Demon Race, the physical body represents the heritage of bloodline.
Once the body is lost, certain special heritage within the bloodline will completely disappear.
Like the berserk brand that exists deep in the bloodline; once the body is lost, the possibility of going berserk is also completely lost.
Even if the new possessed body’s bloodline also has a berserk brand, it lacks the most fundamental connection with the Divine Soul Origin within his Primordial Spirit, and can no longer be triggered.
In other words, the escaping Great Saint of the Giant Spirits Xiong Cheng has eternally lost the ability to go berserk.
Without berserk, Great Saint of the Giant Spirits Xiong Cheng, Ye Zhen had ways to deal with, let alone after a significant power drop and without the ability to go berserk.
Meanwhile, Ye Zhen’s combat power and strength were improving day by day.
Therefore, Ye Zhen was not worried about the escaped Great Saint of the Giant Spirits Xiong Cheng at all.
What made Ye Zhen happiest now was the body of the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits Xiong Cheng, which was like a treasure trove.
Zhu Hong, who rushed over, wanted to dissect the corpse of the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits Xiong Cheng, but Ye Zhen refused.
Because in the eyes of an Artifact Refiner, every part of the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits’ body is the best artifact refining material.
Although it couldn’t be refined into an Acquired Spirit Treasure, each part of the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits’ powerful body could be refined into a Supreme Suppression Artifact comparable in power to a mid-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure.
It’s just that the Primordial Spirit of the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits wasn’t captured; otherwise, given time, Ye Zhen might have been able to produce an Acquired Spirit Treasure.
The first thing Ye Zhen did was bleed!
Each drop of the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits Xiong Cheng’s Essence Blood contained vast amounts of energy, as heavy as a thousand pounds.
However, each drop of the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits Xiong Cheng’s Essence Blood is an excellent raw material for refining pills.
The Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, Nine-Headed Beast, Zhu Hong, and others watched as Ye Zhen collected bucket after bucket of the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits Xiong Cheng’s Essence Blood, drooling.
For the Demon Race, the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits Xiong Cheng’s Essence Blood is a natural tonic.
"This precious bear skin can’t be punctured too much, each person gets a hundred buckets, you won’t be shortchanged! The rest must be saved for the Pill King to make pills."
This bleeding took nearly an hour, and from the enormous body hundreds of feet in size, three thousand buckets of Great Saint’s Essence Blood were drawn.
Afterward, Ye Zhen carefully processed the hair of the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits Xiong Cheng.
These hard and tough hairs, coupled with the hide, can be used to refine shields, significantly enhancing the Spirit Shield’s defensive capabilities, not to mention having many other wondrous uses.
Next were the sharp tusks and claws from the mouth of the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits. After refining, each becomes a weapon surpassing Supreme Suppression Artifacts in power.
Then, there was this huge, thick, and tough bear skin emanating an incredibly vast Earth Spiritual Power aura.
This is the greatest treasure on the body of the Giant Spirit Bear King.
Ye Zhen has never had much in terms of protective treasures.
But now, with this huge Dao Realm Great Saint bear skin, Ye Zhen could refine several sets of incredibly powerful defensive Bear Skin Suppression Artifacts.
Moreover, as long as Ye Zhen was willing to use the materials, such as refining double, triple, or even quadruple-layered Bear Skin Suppression Artifacts, its defensive capabilities could compare to High Grade Acquired Spirit Treasures.
Under normal circumstances, the bear skin stripped from the three-hundred-foot-tall Great Saint of the Giant Spirits could be used to refine nearly a thousand defensive Suppression Armors comparable in power to ordinary Low Grade Postnatal Spiritual Treasures.
But if Ye Zhen is not stingy with materials, he can definitely refine Suppression Artifacts whose defensive power is comparable to High Grade Acquired Spirit Treasures.
On this point, Ye Zhen is confident.
Next were the muscles and fascia of the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits. The blood and meat were all handed over to Zhu Hong for processing, while the fascia was kept for artifact refining.
As for the Five Internal Organs and Six Hollow Organs, those that can be used as medicine will be used as such; those that cannot will be handed over to Zhu Hong for processing.
In any case, this foodie’s head is full of bizarre recipes, maximizing the benefits of these extremely rare ingredients.
This meticulous processing is very time-consuming, and it took more than a day for Ye Zhen to completely handle the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits’ remains.
Finally, what remained was a complete skeleton of a Dao Realm Great Saint.
Originally, each bone of the framework of the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits Xiong Cheng is excellent artifact refining material.
If refined into weapons, their power can absolutely rival ordinary Low Grade Suppression Artifacts.
However, in the end, Ye Zhen preserved the complete structure of the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits Xiong Cheng skeleton.
Ye Zhen wanted to know, if he gave the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits Xiong Cheng’s Grand Saint-level skeleton to one of Hei Er, Hei Qi, or Hei Jiu to merge into a Blood Skull, just how strong would this Blood Skull’s combat power be?
Ye Zhen was quite expectant!
The biggest advantage of the Blood Skull Secret Technique, inherited from the Ancient Demon God Yany Tu, is that after merging the Demon Soul with the skeleton, it allows the Demon Soul to possess a body, greatly enhancing its strength.
However, once the skeletal body is destroyed in battle, the Demon Soul can still detach and exist independently with only minor loss of strength.
Moreover, the secret technique allows for separation and substitution with a stronger skeleton at any time to merge and improve.
After thinking it over, Ye Zhen decided to call Hei Er over.
Being one of the earliest followers, Hei Er has been loyal and unwavering, and even if there were no achievements, he has had his share of toils.
Last time, there were military exploits, and Hei Qi was awarded first in military merits, so rewards and punishments had to be clear.
This time, Ye Zhen prioritized Hei Er first.
Under the urging of the Mystical Mechanism Avatar, it took only 15 minutes to separate Hei Er from the existing skeleton of the Three-eyed Demon Clan.
Under the stimulation of the secret technique, it didn’t take long before Hei Er completely fused with the skeleton left by the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits Xiong Cheng.
As blood light radiated from the skeleton of the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits, a powerful and inexplicable aura suddenly emanated from Hei Er.
"Whoa, darn, the aura this guy is radiating is not Dao Realm but seems even stronger!" The Primordial Spirit of the Mirage Dragon, Achou, shouted, "Once he fully fuses with this skeleton, he can easily confront any usual Dao Realm!"
"He can also charge around recklessly!" The voice of Purple Spirit echoed, "The skeleton of that clumsy bear is not something ordinary Dao Realm experts can damage."
Ye Zhen’s lips slightly curled, which meant he now had an ally as powerful as a Dao Realm, making future encounters similar to today much easier to handle.
Without further ado, Ye Zhen obtained seven intact bear clan Dao Realm skeletons today; each could be integrated into a powerful Blood Skull.
Simply, Ye Zhen called Hei Qi and Hei Jiu, replacing their previous Realm King Realm Three-eyed Demon Clan skeletons with those of the bear clan Dao Realm.
After replacement, each one’s combat power greatly increased, although they couldn’t stand up to an ordinary Dao Realm expert like Hei Er, the bear clan Dao Realm skeleton allowed them to oppose early Dao Realm experts to some degree.
Seven bear clan Dao Realm skeletons meant Ye Zhen had seven more Blood Skulls capable of contending with early Dao Realm experts beside him.
More importantly, possessing these immensely powerful bear clan Dao Realm skeleton bodies allows them to conquer and slaughter more dominantly on the battlefield.
The more they slaughter, the easier it is for these Demon Souls, who prove their path through killing, to break through to Dao Realm.
Once they break through to Dao Realm, they’ll provide even greater assistance to Ye Zhen.
Completing all of this took three days.
However, Ye Zhen did not rush to refine Bear Skin Suppression Artifacts with defensive capabilities comparable to High Grade Acquired Spirit Treasure, as it’s a meticulous task requiring time.
The most crucial task now is figuring out how to return to the Primordial Continent from the Taimeng Demon Realm.
The military orders of the Great Zhou Dynasty were extremely strict, no joke.
Upon arriving at the Primordial Continent, even with everything prepared over at North Sea County, setting forth and leading troops to the Human Demon Battlefield would take at least half a year.
From the time the military order was received until now, a month had already been wasted.
Now, Ye Zhen had less than five months left.
In the Demon Soul Realm, Ye Zhen pondered this dilemma arduously!
