The Sacred Ruins 771 Divinity Granule

Divine King Ouyang ruthlessly beat this humanoid life form up until he cried for his father and shouted for his mother. The one being beaten up wasn't tough in the slightest, either; he was quite the softie as he wailed that he would confess anything.

Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng were slightly speechless. How was this some divine envoy? He was only a servant who escaped, but he really did come from the depths of Vicious Beast Plateau.

"I escaped from the Moon Goddess' research institute!"

He was certainly from the Moon Goddess faction, but he was only the lowest ranked servant. The Moon Goddess went into seclusion as of late so a few disciples under her were frantically conducting experiments because they wanted to obtain certain accomplishments before the Goddess came out of her seclusion so that they could obtain a reward. As a result of that, they consumed an excessive amount of experimental goods.

This servant was scared because the live experimental animals were being consumed at a tremendous rate which resulted in an empty stock reserve in the cave dwelling. As a result of that, a few servants were constantly disappearing.

After that, he decisively ran away for fear that he would be the next one.

When Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng heard this, they were taken aback. What was going on? There was a so-called research institute in the Moon Goddess' abode?!

Why did it resemble a scientific research institution? But the master over there was a deity and was respected as the purest and holiest Moon Goddess on the Vicious Beast Plateau.

People always found it strange whenever science and cultivation mixed together.

"Be more specific!" urged Ouyang Feng.

"I'm a servant who was raised in confinement. I've been living in one of the Moon Goddess' temporary imperial residences since I was a child and tended to the flowers and plants over there. I was cut off from the rest of the world and didn't have much social contact with the outside world, so I don't know anything."

This humanoid life form was about to cry. Based on what he was saying, if his situation was slightly better, he wouldn't be fleeing either.

There was no way someone who betrayed a deity could survive in the Vicious Beast Plateau; that was the greatest sin and couldn't be forgiven.

"You don't know anything?" Chu Feng stared at him.

"It's true. I'm like a toad that grew up in a jar; what I know is limited since my contact with outside humans is far too little," said the humanoid life form fearfully.

Ouyang Feng was furious and he immediately gave the life form that looked like a human a fat punch.

"What's up now? Did I say something wrong?" The humanoid life form complained of the injustice he suffered.

"You violated this grandfather's taboo!" Ouyang Feng's face darkened as he continued beating the humanoid life form up and said, "Is there a toad as ugly as you?!"

"You're a bully! No matter how ugly I am, I'm a hundred times more handsome than life forms like toads!" The humanoid life form howled as he was being beaten up and was abnormally indignant.

"I'll beat you to death!" Water was about to drip from Ouyang Feng's darkened face as he oppressed the humanoid life form with all his might.

"Didn't I say I'm a frog at the bottom of the well? Looking at the large black pot you're carrying on your back, you ought to be a mutated tortoise spirit. How have I violated your taboo?!" This humanoid lifeform was pressing his luck considerably too.

"Motherf**ker! This Divine King is angry! I'm going to hit you! Hit, hit, hit!" Ouyang Feng panted heavily as he beat the humanoid life form viciously without end.

"Don't hit me anymore! I'm going to die! Save me! The purest and holiest Moon Goddess, please forgive me! Forgive your most loyal servant! I know you must be punishing me, but this bastard before me is too cruel! Hurry up and beat me to death! Save me!"

The humanoid life form knelt on the ground in an incomparably pious manner. He was trembling as he kowtowed at the Vicious Beast Plateau and kept praying.

Ouyang Feng was really seething with anger. If Chu Feng hadn't obstructed him, he would've already slaughtered this fellow by now.

Chu Feng blocked him because he figured this humanoid life form was crazed and couldn't communicate anymore.

In the end, Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng worked together to probe the spiritual light ball in this person's head. They realized that this fellow had said many things that could be regarded as being trustworthy, but he was holding back some things as well.

This fellow didn't tend to the flowers and plants, but rather he was in charge of delivering food to the experimental subjects and could access some ongoings inside the laboratory.

"Ah! I didn't intentionally hide this fact. I was only afraid you guys would misunderstand that I understand the various kinds of data in the laboratory very well and force me to write them out. But I really don't know!"

After that, Chu Feng carefully probed the other party's spiritual light ball to get a better understanding of some information that was more useful.

For example, the concept of a Divinity Granule.

The so-called mutant technique was a way of capturing the Divinity Granule.

Life was a miracle of the world while the Divinity Granule was impregnated within all living things. All living beings had the Divinity Granule; it could boost an individual's evolution and continuously transform.

Other than that, there were even more complex Ancestral Dao substances that were possibly of an even higher grade scattered within all kinds of organisms in extremely sparse amounts.

"No one can completely research it thoroughly, even the Moon Goddess and the disciples under her. They're only conducting various experiments because they're thinking of every possible method to refine the Divinity Granule in an attempt to accelerate its abilities."

To put it simply, these experiments were to improve the mutant technique.

The Moon Goddess had mastered an ultimate mutant technique which served as one of the most powerful mutant techniques in the Vicious Beast Plateau!

"What rank of mutant technique have you mastered? How does it compare with the mutant technique of the purple mice on this wasteland?" asked Chu Feng.

Ouyang Feng and him had succeeded in finding a kind of mutant technique in the spiritual light ball of that life form resembling a human. It seemed to be slightly out of the ordinary.

"I have the shallowest mutant technique under the Moon Goddess Sect, but it should be slightly stronger than that of those purple mice," was the person's reply.

Even if it was the simplest and crudest mutant technique, it originated from a deity after all was said and done; the mutant technique the common beast race possessed couldn't compare with a deity's, even if it was intended for a servant.

Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng decisively kept this kind of mutant technique in mind when they heard this.

In the end, they brainwashed this person and got rid of the relevant memory before releasing him.

This was a deity's servant. They didn't want to was too many involvements with him, so it was safest for them to wipe off all traces where they intersected.

Even though Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng had obtained an even more powerful mutant technique that served as the shallowest method in the Moon Goddess faction, they momentarily couldn't find a target to utilise this technique on.

The life forms roaming about on this wasteland were extremely powerful. They only managed to obtain a harvest when the sky was pitch-black.

More than ten extremely striking bats at the cloudeater realm were flapping their wings as they flew over at breakneck speed from afar. They produced soundwaves from their mouths and attacked the duo.

Bang!

Ouyang Feng put the spiritual martial arts he had just been meticulously researching into use. A divine rainbow flew out and tore open a bat's cranium immediately.

After that, he whistled and a strange spiritual wave rumbled out. Four silver bats in the night sky consecutively fell head first to the ground.

Chu Feng's battle on the other end was even quicker. He was experimenting with the Soul Bell and let eight silver bats swoop down on him as they pleased. The small black bell outside his body shone and abruptly vibrated.

Boom! It was as though a primitive deity was sounding a large bell. Not only did it dissipate the soundwaves the bats produced, but it also made all the eight bats shriek miserably as a black ripple flew out in between its trembling. They were instantly killed and all of them fell down head first as they had their spiritual bodies beheaded.

"How overbearing! The ringing of a bell could kill eight very powerful life forms in the same realm all at once?!" Ouyang Feng's emotions were stirred as he widened his eyes in shock.

After that, they experimented with the new mutant technique. Silver specks of light which they now knew to be Divinity Granules flew out in a flash.

The effect was stronger than the purple mice's mutant technique!

It didn't take them long to conclude their special cultivation!

Chu Feng was originally at the perfect cloudeater realm. If he had his physical body, he simply wouldn't be suppressed and would have charged straight into the visualisation realm now that he absorbed this kind of Divinity Granule.

His spiritual light ball was firmer and more substantial now; it was abnormally brilliant and even had traces of Yang qi.

They didn't return tonight. Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng went hunting in this wasteland and evaded a lot of danger by relying on Chu Feng's Fiery Eyes. They were specifically searching for a ferocious beast they could kill and a vulture they could lay their hands on.

Rumble!

All of a sudden, the ground trembled at daybreak before it seemed as though the whole wasteland was shaking like an earthquake.

"Run!" Chu Feng shouted. He felt the crisis of his divine soul on the verge of collapsing because there was a sort of boundless blood qi rushing over from the end of the horizon along with Yang qi that was far too intense.

"What great being is this?!" Ouyang Feng was startled too as he fled for his life with Chu Feng.

Soon, they saw more than ten thousand Thunder Horned Beast charging out from the horizon. They had enormous bodies that were tens of meters long. They looked a little like horses, but their bodies were covered in scales. They even had a horn on their heads each with lightning curled around it.

"Oh gosh! More than ten thousand monsters at the golden body realm? No wonder blood qi has soared! Who can block that?!" Ouyang Feng was so shocked he fled frantically in disarray.

Chu Feng and him didn't dare to flee along the same path as that group of Thunder Horned Beasts. As such, they fled in the perpendicular direction and fought to break free from the track they were running on.

This was considerably difficult. Stifling blood qi surged over in an oppressive manner from a far distance away. The main thing was that it was filled with Yang qi which was the most harmful substance to Yin spirits like them.

In the end, they were forced to hide in a crack in the ground. They charged deep into the underground, but encountered a large burial pit again. Fiendish qi surged and black mist filled the air.

They were pushing their way through underground as they took shelter at breakneck speed.

Squeak, squeak...

The sound of countless mice squeaking rang out in the dark underground world. Pairs of verdant eyes shone one after the other as they fixed their attention on the pair.

The duo fled for their lives with much difficulty while the underground mice stampede wound around their butts and chased after the duo!

When they surfaced, that group of Thunder Horn Beast had already dashed past, but a type of black raptor had appeared instead. Tens of thousands of them hid the sky and covered the earth as they charged over in this direction.

Torrential blood qi was still overflowing from the bird stampede!

Chu Feng brandished his Soul Bell to protect Ouyang Feng and himself before dashing to the land in the distance. If no, the blood qi above the firmament would scatter their spiritual bodies apart.

What was going on? To their astonishment, they realised that a terrifying beast stampede had broken out as there were vultures and ferocious beasts everywhere in the sky and on the ground.

"They're running away from the Vicious Beast Plateau, so some major incident might have occurred."

That was because they were amazed to find out that every kind of ferocious beast that fled from the Vicious Beast Plateau were in communities of at least several hundreds and greater than thousands in number.

A few species like the Thunder Horned Beast and the black vultures amounted to as much as ten thousand heads. This was too frightening and it was reckoned that they could kill Quasi-saints and ancient saints to just by charging into them

After that, no less than ten thousand densely packed red flying ants the size of stone rollers rushed out of the Vicious Beast Plateau too.

"Have they gone mad? Various monsters have fled that place! What exactly is going on over at that plateau?!" Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng suffered unspeakable misery as they took cover everywhere.

In the end, the two of them found the safest crevice in the ground with much difficulty and went into hiding. They didn't encounter the fiendish qi of death nor were there any purple mice there.

The ground trembled for a whole day and through the night as a great number of those ferocious beasts and vultures fled.

When Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng came out, the ground was bare. There were footprints of various ferocious beasts and many bloody mud which was from the life forms that had been stepped on from lagging behind.

They found a crippled divine beast that didn't flee, but rather it was treating its injuries here. The duo roughly knew what had happened as they heard it from the divine beast's own mouth.

"A total of five divine beasts charged into the Vicious Beast Plateau to make war against the regional deity and to settle things with a certain tyrant."

Something like this actually had actually occurred!

There were divine beasts who perished on Vicious Beast Plateau in the past. Now, five divine beasts charged in and wanted to exact their revenge.

"What do you think?" asked Ouyang Feng.

"I think our opportunity might have arrived. The Vicious Beast Plateau is very dangerous, but it might contain tremendous opportunities too!" said Chu Feng.

"I think so, too. Let's go the opposite direction. We might be able to discover monsters that got caught in the stampede during the process of the great migration and sustained serious injuries that we can use to cultivate the mutant technique."

The two set off on their way just like that.

They had quite a considerably luxurious harvest for three consecutive days. Both of their spiritual bodies were in the midst of strengthening and becoming increasingly condensed as they emitted wisps of Yang qi.

But they stopped when they were close to Vicious Beast Plateau and didn't really set foot inside as they ultimately they turned on their heels!

The reason for that was because frightening wisps of blood qi emerged, causing the ground to crack. Some Quasi-saint ranked ferocious beast was howling in grief and letting out a low roar. Something terrifying was happening at Vicious Beast Plateau.

"This world reeks of too much of blood. Let's go!"

They acted within their competencies and didn't dare to truly enter the region because they were very clear of their own situations.

After that, they headed in the direction of the bloody mountain peak to join everyone. Two days later, Chu Feng stopped Ouyang Feng with a bewildered expression on his face.

The emissary from the Primal Chaotic Deity Palace appeared at the end of the horizon. He was currently conversing with a cavalry and appeared to be respectful yet cautious.

"The life forms resembling humans are all riding barbaric beasts!"

Chu Feng saw the Deity Race's emissary hand over the few imprisoned spiritual bodied comrades behind him over to those cavalry.

"What is this grandson doing? He made a business deal with some cavalry in this world and delivered our own people to them!" Ouyang Feng was shocked.

"Let's go! We're leaving this place!" Chu Feng's expression sank slightly. That cavalry was very formidable. They were all powerhouses and the main thing was that they had physical bodies. Their Yang qi was too strong and if they really were to fight hand-to-hand, it would definitely end disastrously for him and Toad.

"Stronger… We have to quickly get stronger. The universal living beings in this world have profound cultivation, so it's very easy for people at our level to be killed."

"I have to inform those at the bloody mountain peak. If not, they won't even know that this emissary from the Primal Chaotic Deity Palace has sold them off!" Ouyang Feng said.

Just like that, the duo set off and headed on the path to return, but they encountered numerous ferocious beasts roaming all over the place along the way. These were small communal living beings who moved around in groups that were left behind after the beast stampede.

As a result of that, they kept making detours and only managed to return to the area close to the bloody mountain peak in two days.

At this moment, Qin Luoyin's had a strange expression in front of the bloody mountain peak. She felt that there was a cloud of mist bundling up a spiritual entity by her side and within her multi-coloured soul armour.

Her heart shuddered as she could guess what that was.

The little Daoist was extremely angry in that mist. "You damned old witch! You actually called the shots on behalf of my abominable mother and sealed me up for a hundred years?! Fortunately, this Grandfather Dao can defy the natural order of the world by himself. I'll break out of this seal with the supreme origin qi in the Reincarnation Cave. Grandfather Dao doesn't believe in heresy. Who can seal me? The more you obstruct me, the more I want to speed up my birth! Huh? Something's not right. Where is this? Ah? Where's my physical body? Oh gosh. Grandfather Dao doesn't want to live anymore. My physical body is gone. Ah, ah, ah.... You arrogant Boundless Deity!"

After that, he swiftly fell silent as if he sensed something. "Amitabha, Boundless Deity, I sensed it very clearly this time. My biological father is nearby! Father, come and save me, quickly! Let me escape from the abyss of suffering!Find another mother for me! Grandfather Dao permits you to do so and find a second, third, or fourth mother!"
