King of Creation Chapter 2247 - 2232: Power

Each mountain range core and earth vein essence core represents the essence of a mountain or earth vein.

Whether it’s a mountain or an earth vein, once someone refines the mountain or earth vein essence core, what awaits the mountain and earth vein is silent collapse.

The mountain naturally crumbles, while the collapse of an earth vein triggers various natural disasters, with earthquakes and ground subsidence being the most common.

Moreover, the essence core of each mountain and earth vein is a part of the origin power of the world they are in.

Though their proportion is very small, if too many are lost, that world would suffer significant harm to its primordial energy.

Thus, almost all world rulers or controllers do not allow anyone to refine and take away mountain and earth vein essence cores.

In the market, mountain and earth vein essence cores are mostly stolen or taken through destructive refining.

This is why mountain and earth vein essence cores are rare.

However, now in the Golden Moon World, Ye Zhen doesn’t worry about that.

Better them than me.

The Golden Moon World happens to be under the domain of the Fifth Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Poyue; losing its origin power would only make Ye Zhen clap his hands.

Only the Fifth Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Poyue, would feel pained.

The twelve Dao realm experts left behind by Ye Zhen were arranged to refine and collect the mountain and earth vein essence cores of the Golden Moon World.

And refining mountain and earth vein essence cores can only be done by Dao realm martial artists who have touched the power of Heaven and Earth Laws with secret techniques.

If it weren’t for this limitation, Ye Zhen would even dispatch thousands of Realm King Realm experts to handle this task.

After all, there are at least tens of thousands of mountains and thousands of earth veins within the Golden Moon World.

Usually, a Dao realm expert takes at least a month to refine and collect the essence core of a mountain.

As for earth vein essence cores, refining and collecting one requires a year or more for ordinary Dao realm experts.

Thus, among these twelve Dao realm experts, the highest in cultivation, Zhang Yide and Qinglian, were tasked with refining and collecting earth vein essence cores, starting with relatively smaller earth veins.

It is estimated that they could refine and collect the essence core of an earth vein in about three to five months.

The rest of the Dao realms were all dispatched to collect mountain essence cores.

In three to five months, collecting several dozen mountain essence cores seems achievable.

Because it’s destructive refining and collecting, Ye Zhen doesn’t feel any remorse.

Actually, what Ye Zhen desires more is to collect the star essence cores of the Golden Moon World.

However, if Ye Zhen were to refine and collect the star essence core, the vitality of the Golden Moon World would be completely severed.

Within a few years to at most several decades, the Golden Moon World would face destruction amid various natural disasters.

By then, if the living beings of the Golden Moon World cannot escape in time, they would all perish.

However, star essence cores are not easily collected.

Collecting star essence cores from a world consumes an enormous amount of time.

A hundred years would be considered short.

Furthermore, once such refining begins, it cannot be stopped. If paused, not only would the origin power gathered from billions of stars counterattack, but the entire effort would be rendered useless.

A hundred years without doing anything else would make one a living target.

Therefore, despite any intentions, Ye Zhen cannot undertake such a task.

After all, once the refining and collection of a world’s star essence cores begin, various anomalies of Heaven and Earth would increasingly appear.

It would not take long before being detected by the world’s ruler or overseer.

A single careless move could lead to disaster at that point.

This is why Mountain God Yi Xun has not found a single star essence core for Ye Zhen after so long.

This thing is too difficult and too precious.

Yet, once a star essence core is found, it can enhance Ye Zhen’s Earth Element Thousand Image Seal tenfold.

Even the star essence core of a Little World contains tens of thousands of mountain ranges.

Its power cannot be compared to the refining of mountain and earth vein essence cores.

Interestingly, Ye Zhen’s Yidongqing Guardian Army previously had only ten Dao realms.

However, after two and a half years of Ye Zhen’s arduous cultivation, within the Yidongqing Guardian Army, four Realm King Realm experts broke through to the Dao realm, becoming Dao realm experts.

Additionally, there were seven half-step Dao realms, and soon enough, the Yidongqing Guardian Army’s Dao realm experts would increase to twenty-one.

Though it seems that eleven Dao realms were added instantly, seemingly rapidly.

In reality, this isn’t how it seems.

Bear in mind, these eleven Dao realms only emerged after two hundred and fifty years of arduous cultivation within the Mirage Dragon Pearl’s Temporal Sequence Space.

Out of a thousand people, most cultivation reaching Late Stage of Realm King Realm, and from two hundred and fifty years of arduous cultivation, only four Dao realms and seven half-step Dao realms emerged.

The difficulty of breaking through to the Dao realm is exceptionally high.

Besides, those who can break through are those with extremely high talent; for many martial artists, even two hundred or a thousand years might not suffice to break through to the Dao realm.

In the blink of an eye, twelve Dao realms scattered away, leaving Ye Zhen once again alone.

After contemplating for a moment, Ye Zhen rode the Cloud Winged Tiger King, flying towards the more desolate southern region of the Golden Moon World, and half a day later found a suitable location.

A few barren mountains and vast hills, along with his Mystical Mechanism Avatar.

Ye Zhen has yet to test the power of the Earth Element Thousand Forms Technique that he has cultivated for so long.

Now with time, Ye Zhen wishes to test its power.

With a slight thought, the eight-sided Earth Element Thousand Image Seal flew out from behind Ye Zhen’s head amidst the earth-yellow light.

With a move of his Divine Sense, a massive amount of Earth Spirit Power was injected into the Earth Element Thousand Image Seal, making its earth-yellow light shine intensely, and causing its weight to soar rapidly.

At the same instant, the first Earth Element Heavenly Earth Law that Ye Zhen has painstakingly comprehended over the years suddenly launched.

In merely a moment, the Earth Element Thousand Image Seal sank slightly, creating a popping sound in the air, which was the effect of Ye Zhen inputting just ten percent of Earth Spirit Power.

"Let’s try fifty percent power first!"

As Spiritual Power surged, the Earth Element Thousand Image Seal was infused to the extreme by Ye Zhen, and simultaneously, his Divine Sense sank into the Earth Palace, where the Primordial Spirit snapped its eyes open, and the Earth Element Primordial Power within the Earth Palace surged like a torrent.

Earth Mountain Divine Ability, activate.

Part of the Earth Element Primordial Power augmented the Earth Element Thousand Image Seal, while much more of the Earth Element Primordial Power aura scattered in all directions under the activation of Earth Mountain Divine Ability.

Instantly, mountain ranges and earth veins within eight thousand miles trembled, and an invisible force sharply augmented the Earth Element Thousand Image Seal suspended in the void.

As countless earthy light rose around the Earth Element Thousand Image Seal, Ye Zhen pointed a finger and commanded, "Go!"

Immediately, the Earth Element Thousand Image Seal rapidly hurtled towards Ye Zhen’s Mystical Mechanism Avatar like a meteor.

With Ye Zhen’s deliberate activation, the Mystical Mechanism Avatar executed Body Skill, trying to evade.

But in a flash, the Earth Element Thousand Image Seal expanded into a thousand-meter large giant seal, smashing the Mystical Mechanism Avatar down, then fiercely crashing onto it.

Boom!

Amidst the earth shaking and mountains swaying, the Primordial Spirit in Ye Zhen’s Dao Palace was violently shaken.

With one seal, everything within a thousand meters was flattened; space shattered where the seal passed, and a giant pit a thousand meters deep was created below.

At this moment, the Mystical Mechanism Avatar lay like a flattened sheet of paper at the pit’s bottom, struggling to rise.

"Three ribs broken...face also flattened, internal organs suffered shock...for a Dao realm expert, this counts as a minor injury." Ye Zhen carefully sensed.

Though it was a minor injury, the power was astonishingly delightful.

Bear in mind, the Mystical Mechanism Avatar’s body is extremely formidable, being the body of a Mid Dao Realm Three-eyed Demon Venerable.

Most importantly, Ye Zhen only activated fifty percent of the Earth Element Thousand Image Seal’s power with this strike!

If he were to fully unleash its power, Ye Zhen estimates the Mystical Mechanism Avatar would at least suffer serious injuries, right?

But beyond this point, Ye Zhen dares not test further.

If he truly crushed his Mystical Mechanism Avatar into serious injuries, Ye Zhen would cry himself to tears.

Therefore, Ye Zhen quietly contemplated.

In that strike with the Earth Element Thousand Image Seal, many areas still need improvement.
