From the distant corner, Zuo Shan Ke, listening to the discourse of the three Ancestor Gods, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh softly, "Truth mixed with falsehood—it's frightening enough to be so confusing. To even suggest that the Universe Ark was created specifically to deal with the World Beasts is utterly ridiculous." ...
The thousands of experts gathered there, including Luo Feng and his group from the great powers of the Sea of Chaos, were indeed stunned. The Universe Ark was created to deal with World Beasts?
"Of course, that’s the late-stage World Beasts," the young Ancestor God said, his voice clear. "World Beasts are mainly divided into two stages: the gestation period and the growth period.
During the gestation period, the Sea of Chaos nurtures one billion World Beasts." "What!" "One billion World Beasts?" "Aren't World Beasts singular entities?" All the experts were shocked. Previously, what the three Ancestor Gods had said implied that there should only be one World Beast.
The young Ancestor God continued, "The Sea of Chaos will nurture one billion World Beasts. These ten billion World Beasts will kill and devour each other, causing their numbers to continuously decrease...
After slaughtering and consuming others, the remaining World Beasts will grow stronger and stronger... until the final moment...
when all other World Beasts have died, leaving only one alive." A moment of held breath. So that was how it was.
Luo Feng himself was horrified. To force ten billion World Beasts into mutual slaughter and consumption until only one remained—how terrifying must that final beast be?
"The one that survives is the true World Beast, the one that represents destruction and nightmare," the aged Ancestor God stated in a low voice. "However, once it reaches this stage, this final surviving World Beast enters its growth period.
At that point, your three Reincarnation Eras and two Sacred Lands will be utterly unable to stop it." "Once a World Beast enters its growth period, know that it can devour everything, and crucially, it contains a world within its body, capable of nurturing life. Once it enters this phase, it can birth powerful warriors," the aged Ancestor God lamented.
"By then, it will be invincible." "And to kill it..." "It must be killed during the gestation period. Although there are many World Beasts in the gestation period, every single one is weak, and they cannot yet birth powerful warriors.
That is the optimal time to kill them," the aged Ancestor God said solemnly. "By killing these World Beasts, you prevent others from having the opportunity to devour them and grow stronger." "According to the judgment of the great Origin Universe Will, by the time this Reincarnation Era nears its end, the numerous World Beasts will have dwindled down to the final one—the World Beast that has stepped into the growth period, the invincible World Beast." "Kill them, before this Reincarnation Era concludes." Silence descended.
All the experts' minds were a whirlwind of thoughts. "However," the Two-Faced Ancestor God interjected, "even in the gestation period, that group of World Beasts remains terrifying.
Therefore, Universe Masters should not go; going would be suicide. Only the Universe Supreme Beings are capable of fighting them." "Universe Supreme Beings?" "What?" "Universe Masters are not qualified to go?" There was an uproar among the assembled experts, nearly all of whom were Universe Masters.
Now they were told they weren't even qualified for the battle. "Furthermore," the Two-Faced Ancestor God continued, "even Universe Supreme Beings must possess an Ultimate Supreme Treasure Armor and an Ultimate Supreme Treasure of the soul type.
Only with these two supreme treasures protecting them can they engage the World Beasts in combat. Otherwise, it is still suicide.
Of course, it would be best if you could acquire some mechanical-stream treasures from the Jin World to further boost your strength." "Remember, the soul-type Ultimate Supreme Treasure and the Ultimate Supreme Treasure Armor are mandatory. Without them, even a Universe Supreme Being must not go!" ...
Listening to the Ancestor Gods' narrative, chaos began to stir within the various factions, and the God Alliance side was also gripped by argument and alarm. "Just how terrifying are these World Beasts?
They are this formidable even in the gestation period? They require genuine True Gods, and specifically, armor and a soul-type supreme treasure?" "We are powerless to stop them anyway; we cannot intervene." "So terrifying.
We were already reluctant to go, and now that our strength is insufficient, we certainly won't be arrogant about it." The Universe Masters exchanged uneasy words. They had been terrified just by listening; even True Gods required two ultimate supreme treasures for protection.
Which one of them dared to go? Luo Feng and City Lord of Chaos exchanged a look, both feeling the intense pressure.
Someone strong must step forward. If everyone shirked responsibility, it was predetermined that once the World Beasts slaughtered and consumed each other until only one remained, when that true World Beast, accompanied by the powerful warriors it birthed, attacked—it would be a genuine sweep of utter destruction.
Even the Sacred Land Universes would be annihilated. Even if they managed to break through the cycle of reincarnation before this era ended, it would be useless; the Sacred Land Universes would still perish.
A strong figure must come forward! ...
Suddenly, a deep, resonant voice broke the silence, "Where are the World Beasts?" The young Ancestor God scanned the surroundings. "The lair of the World Beasts is in the core region of the Slope of Misfortune—the 'Dim Place'." "It's there!" "So it's in the core region, a place even we Universe Masters dare not venture deep into." "No wonder the Dim Place is called that; once you enter, you can never come out.
It turns out to be the nest of the World Beasts." All parties silently noted the name: 'Dim Place.' And on the God Alliance side, Luo Feng and City Lord of Chaos were both greatly startled. "Giant Axe!" "Giant Axe perished in the Dim Place—it actually was right there in the Dim Place!
That place is the World Beasts' lair!" Luo Feng was horrified. He finally understood why Giant Axe had died so quickly back then; after all, Giant Axe at that time possessed no Ultimate Supreme Treasure Armor, no soul-type Ultimate Supreme Treasure, and no palace-type Ultimate Supreme Treasure, only a single divine axe...
"World Beasts!" City Lord of Chaos beside him had eyes filled with killing intent and rage. Giant Axe was like a brother to him.
The thought of Giant Axe being killed by a World Beast only intensified City Lord of Chaos's hatred. ...
"Because it is in the Dim Place," the aged Ancestor God continued, "the surrounding area is the only path leading to the Land of Reincarnation. Therefore, anyone attempting to break through reincarnation will inevitably be intercepted and attacked." "Even if someone somehow breaks through reincarnation, your Sacred Land Universe will be destroyed by the World Beasts in the future." "If the World Beasts do not die, transcendence of reincarnation is impossible." "If the World Beasts do not die, all your races will face extinction.
All of you will perish." "It must die," The aged Ancestor God declared. "Now, go.
Go to the Jin World. In the Jin World, rapidly strengthen yourselves, acquire numerous supreme treasures, even mechanical-stream treasures.
The stronger you become, the easier it will be to survive and succeed in killing the World Beasts. Whoever kills the most World Beasts will also benefit the Origin Universe Will.
The more you kill, the more boons you can request from the Origin Universe Will." "Powerful ancient civilization treasures, ancient inheritances, and anything else the Origin Will can bestow, you can demand, provided you kill enough World Beasts." The three Ancestor Gods exchanged glances. Then, they directly entered an ancient, three-story palace supreme treasure and immediately flew away.
* The three Ancestor Gods departed, but the experts gathered from the great powers of the Sea of Chaos were thrown into utter confusion. The news brought by the Ancestor Gods was too shocking, revealing to them the existence of such terrifying creatures nurtured within the Sea of Chaos.
Ten billion World Beasts slaughtering and consuming each other until only one survived? A World Beast containing a world within its body, capable of birthing powerful warriors?
Able to lead vast armies to sweep across everything? "This isn't a single World Beast; it's practically a world," Luo Feng murmured.
"Once it enters the growth period, it can continuously birth warriors. Relying solely on its subordinate armies, it could conquer everything.
If we wait until it reaches its later stages—requiring a Universe Ark to kill it—that might actually be possible!" ... Within the Jin World, in the Eastern Army barracks, and the Python River Army barracks.
Luo Feng's Earthling true body was still on the island. "Whoosh." Luo Feng activated his military command ring.
Instantly, the space within the stone house hall shifted, and a golden figure appeared. "Lord Yinhe." The golden figure bowed respectfully.
Luo Feng nodded. "I need information about World Beasts." "World Beasts?" The golden figure pondered for a moment, and then a screen beside him displayed a large volume of textual information.
Luo Feng turned to look. The Jin World, worthy of being the remnant of the ancient Jin Kingdom, did indeed possess information on World Beasts.
However... it was very brief.
"World Beasts are extremely cruel, dark, and terrifying creatures. Their very birth is for the purpose of destruction!
They possess a powerful, dark world within their bodies, from which powerful warriors are continuously nurtured. They are skilled in speed, defense, siege warfare, specialized self-destruction—countless types of powerful warriors.
The stronger the World Beast, the more terrifying the warriors it creates... When a World Beast reaches its true maturity, it becomes a genuine catastrophe.
Even the Jin Kingdom at its zenith could not withstand the army led by a mature World Beast." "It is destruction itself." "Each time they appear, they are either extinguished in the early stages or destroy numerous powers in the later stages, ultimately requiring the combined, utmost efforts of many powers to eliminate them." "It is the common enemy of all powers." "Once discovered, it must be killed as early as possible; the later the action, the greater the price that must be paid." The accompanying information was sparse. Even the Jin Kingdom, with its God-King Emperor, numerous powerhouses, vast numbers of Eternal True Gods and Void True Gods, and endless True God armies—with countless mechanical-stream treasures, including thousands of True Gods simultaneously controlling a single mechanical stream treasure—such terrifying might...
and yet, they reportedly could not hold back a mature World Beast? "It is a world itself?" Luo Feng thought secretly.
"It sounds like the records refer to a World Beast that has entered the growth period, and there is no mention of the gestation period." "The growth period must also be divided from its infancy to full maturity." "However, even in its infancy, we cannot resist it. It must be killed during the gestation period," Luo Feng sighed.
... Outside the small universe 'Jin World,' in the void, palace supreme treasures hovered.
Whether seeking transcendence of reincarnation or survival by slaying World Beasts, they needed to enter the Jin World to obtain inheritances and treasures to strengthen themselves. Suddenly, the membrane wall of the small universe changed color, turning white.
"The membrane wall has changed color." "We can enter now." "Enter." "Enter." Instantly, the palace supreme treasures, from various directions surrounding the Jin World small universe, penetrated the membrane wall one after another, directly entering that Jin World. ('Universe Supreme Being Arc' begins!)
