All Three Origins, Together?!

The Nine Nether Dao Master, a powerful figure who once competed with Emperor Luo for the title of Divine Emperor.

Although he was defeated, the Dao Palace he left behind is still fraught with danger.

Although Zhao Xing and Du Yun understood that this place was not controlled by the Year Beast, they didn't have any good ideas for the time being.

Go explore on your own? Wandering around recklessly might lead to your death, not to mention the Year Beast is watching. You can only proceed slowly and cautiously.

A few days later, Zhao Xing began urging Du Yun:

"Brother Du, you should recover quickly. If you delay too long, the Year Beast will be unhappy and might eat us both."

Du Yun with some melancholy, "I never imagined that one day I would be treated as food, especially the kind that's kept in captivity."

Zhao Xing said calmly, "You haven't experienced enough. You don't know that the God of Qing Yuzi was not only once a beef cattle, but was also branded. After going through all sorts of hardships to level up, he eventually became someone else's mount."

You should learn from him and be more easygoing.

Du Yun's gossip-loving nature flared. "My Martial Uncle has actually experienced something like this?"

"Of course, he transformed into a demon bull using Hou Bian Method, but was taken away by the demon hunters."

"Oh? Uncle -Martial Uncle Qing Yuzi didn't offer any explanation?"

"What's the use? They don't care whether you're a transformed Agricultural Official or a real demon. During the Five Emperors Era, they mostly viewed Demon Race as enemies. In short, it's a merit."

What happened next?

Later, he was mistakenly identified as Earthly Advantage Faction Shennong and sent to work in the mines.

"Pfft~" Du Yun's laughter and the sound of cutting meat rang out at the same time.

Du Yun could no longer laugh.

Zhao Xing grabbed two pieces of meat and put them into the fragrant wood food box, then patted Du Yun on the shoulder to comfort him.

Then they headed towards the square, because the Year Beast had returned and was constantly staring at their location.

Zhao Xing was so conscientious mainly because he felt that he was going to cut off Du Yun's flesh to feed it no matter what.

Why can't we let the Year Beast have a good time?

Perhaps if we can appease the Year Beast, we can glean some information.

"Respected Year Beast, your food has arrived."

"You're very good." The Year Beast was quite satisfied with Zhao Xing's understanding.

Zhao Xing not only cut off the flesh, but also specially made a food box from the materials of the divine tree. This not only kept the flesh fresh, but the food box itself could also stimulate its appetite.

"Slurp~" The Year Beast curled its tongue and swallowed Du Yun's flesh and blood in one gulp.

It contentedly squinted its eyes, enjoying the delicious food.

After a while, it opened its eyes and said with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Cook, why is there so little?"

Zhao Xing didn't mind the way the Year Beast addressed him, and respectfully said, "Lord Year Beast, please forgive us. It was indeed our fault; we recovered too slowly. I will definitely bring more next time."

The Year Beast's dissatisfaction vanished instantly, perhaps because it naturally exuded an aura that made it feel close to the cook; it found the cook quite agreeable.

"Whoosh~"

The Year Beast wagged its tail and left from the other end of the square, disappearing into the heavy black storm.

Zhao Xing returned to the green meadow thoughtfully, prepared some nourishing ingredients from his Internal World, and then used the divine needles to repair Du Yun's injuries.

It stimulates the growth of flesh and blood.

"I saw you communicating with the Year Beast; did you find out some information?"

"No, not that fast. It's probably complaining that I didn't cut enough."

"I—" Du Yun was speechless.

"Get well soon. I'll bring more next time. The Year Beast isn't complicated; if we can communicate with it, we'll have a chance to leave."

"Understood." Du Yun devoted himself wholeheartedly to the plan to gain weight.

He opened his mouth wide and swallowed the food Zhao Xing provided. Then, the area that had just been cut off quickly began to grow flesh and blood.

"By the way, did you see Yi Ren when you woke up?"

"Yi Ren, that imposter's name?"

"Um."

"Dead."

"Killed by the Year Beast?"

"In a way, he courted death," Du Yun pondered. "I don't know why, but the Year Beast didn't seem to attack you and Yi Ren at first."

They're just eating me.

"Afterwards, Yi Ren took out a divine artifact and tried to ambush the Year Beast. The Year Beast was enraged and was swallowed whole."

Zhao Xing nodded. "It's probably because both Yi Ren and I possess some of the aura of the Time Origin, which is why the Year Beast didn't make a move at first."

"By the way, how did you get out of my Internal World?"

"I don't know." Du Yun recalled, "The moment I saw the Nine Nether Dao Palace, I was as if possessed, and I walked towards it."

That's how I walked out.

"I soon realized that I hadn't gone into the palace, but instead had walked into the mouth of the Year Beast."

"But--"

"But what?"

"I had a strange feeling back then, like the Year Beast was a little afraid of you."

"Afraid of me?" Zhao Xing was taken aback.

After saying that, Du Yun chuckled self-deprecatingly, "I must have been influenced by something and was hallucinating."

About half a month later, the Year Beast returned from the raging black storm.

It looked a little tired and hungry.

As soon as he got back, he shouted "Cook!"

Zhao Xing immediately grabbed the food box and ran over.

The Year Beast immediately swallowed it in large gulps.

Zhao Xing noticed that the Year Beast seemed to have consumed a lot of energy, as it acted very urgently and even ate the food box along with it.

"Could it be that the Year Beast was injured while exploring the Nine Nether Dao Palace?"

"It looks like they've been in a battle," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

However, he didn't ask, because the Year Beast disliked being disturbed while eating.

Even the slightest movement from Zhao Xing would provoke the Year Beast to glare at him.

So he could only stand there like a wooden statue, quietly waiting for the Year Beast to finish eating.

This time, the Year Beast ate its fill because Zhao Xing had been cutting flesh off Du Yun's body every day and had prepared several large boxes of it.

Once the Year Beast had eaten its fill, it was happy.

Zhao Xing mustered his courage and asked, "Lord Year Beast, are there any other people in the Nine Nether Dao Palace?"

The Year Beast said dejectedly, "There are a few guys I really want to eat."

"If I can devour one of them, my strength will greatly improve."

"I don't need to hide in the Nine Nether Dao Palace; they won't be able to find me."

"But I didn't win."

They are probably referring to the forces that captured the Year Beast, the faction of the Divine King Gu Xiao?

There are still living beings in the Nine Nether Dao Palace?

Zhao Xing received two pieces of information and kept them in mind.

"Cook, it must be because I didn't eat enough that I couldn't beat them. Hurry up and cook some food."

"Yes, Lord Year Beast." Seeing that the Year Beast had closed its eyes, Zhao Xing immediately bowed respectfully and withdrew.

"Wait!" Just then, the Year Beast suddenly spoke again.

"Year Beast, what are your orders?"

"Cook, you always cut me the same cut of meat. I'm tired of it. I want something different."

Zhao Xing was speechless; the Year Beast had already prepared its meal.

The Year Beast thought Zhao Xing didn't understand the principle, so it taught him:

"The divine body of Na Lie corresponds to the six elements of Heaven in its various parts."

"Each bone, each piece of flesh, and each organ has different effects and tastes depending on the region."

"In some places, the flesh and blood are bursting with fiery passion, refreshing and intense; in other places, the flesh and blood melt in your mouth, soothing and delightful—"

"The marrow of divine bones is the most delicious of all, especially that guy named Yun. His cultivation method is special. He has plundered the essence of many Ancient God Clan and devoured many True Spirit Tribulation and Divine Tribulation. Eating a piece of him is equivalent to eating countless delicacies."

He spoke quite eloquently about the Year Beast.

They treated Du Yun as if she were a delicacy to be studied.

"I wonder which part of the Year Beast would like to eat next time?"

The Year Beast suddenly opened its eyes, a mischievous glint in its purple pupils.

"What? No way! Absolutely not!" Du Yun jumped up. "Zhao Xing, this is absolutely unacceptable! I'd rather die a quick and painless death than agree to this!"

"Brother Du, calm down." Zhao Xing sighed. "What difference does it really make? If you were swallowed whole, wouldn't it all be the same? It's still just a piece of meat after all."

Du Yun was speechless and choked with emotion. He plopped down on the ground, looking somewhat dazed.

A moment later he suddenly smiled.

This is clearly utterly speechless.

"Brother Du, I—"

"Stop talking, and don't ever say it again!"

"Understood." Zhao Xing raised his hand. "I swear, I will never tell anyone."

Du Yun didn't react, Zhao Xing cautiously said:

"So, will you do it yourself, or—"

Du Yun looked at his genitals and gritted his teeth, saying:

"I... I can do it myself!"

"Leave the box behind and run away."

"Understood." Zhao Xing nodded and immediately ran away.

"You beast, you beast!"

I could faintly hear Du Yun's grief and indignation from behind.

But soon we couldn't hear it anymore.

Zhao Xing stood at the edge of the grass and square, lost in thought.

It was clearly a sad thing, but for some reason he felt like laughing.

I wonder if Lao Du will be traumatized by this.

As time went by, Zhao Xing became more and more adept at restoring Du Yun to her former beauty, and his medical skills even improved in the process.

Du Yun gradually got used to being eaten, and in the process, his recovery ability became stronger and stronger.

As an unparalleled genius of the Origin Heavenly Palace, where had Du Yun ever had such an experience before?

He has rarely been seriously injured.

Now, however, he has to scrape off his own flesh and blood almost every day, and then stimulate his spiritual bones and marrow to regenerate his flesh and blood.

Gradually, Zhao Xing realized that his knife was becoming less effective at cutting Du Yun.

The thirtieth year of being trapped in the Nine Nether Dao Palace.

Every so often, the Year Beast would leave its lair in the square and disappear into the black storm outside, heading to an unknown place.

His demands on Du Yun's flesh and blood increased, and gradually more and more people than Du Yun could bear it.

Zhao Xing couldn't stand it either.

Because the Internal World resources are always limited, Qi Sect like Du Yun would need to replenish himself with a large quantity of immortal herbs and divine fruits to recover.

The forty-fifth year of being trapped.

On this day, the Year Beast returned.

But Zhao Xing did not bring any food.

"Cook, why did you come empty-handed?" The Year Beast's eyes were hostile.

"Year Beast, please forgive me."

"I can't absorb any spiritual energy here, so I can't grow anything good, and therefore I can't regenerate Du Yun's flesh and blood."

Zhao Xing Xingdao.

"Cook, why didn't you say so sooner?" The Year Beast scratched its hooves, somewhat dissatisfied.

However, it only scolded him once, then walked towards a certain place. "Come with me."

"Yes." Zhao Xing took a deep breath and quickly followed.

A fierce wind howled, and an aura of destruction filled the space; coldness and deathly silence seemed to be the themes of the Nine Nether Dao Palace.

Zhao Xing couldn't sense any life here at all; even the Earth Vein seemed lifeless.

For the first time in forty-five years, he left the safe zone surrounding the plaza and immediately realized how terrifying the Nine Nether Dao Palace was.

"Boom!"

Black lightning suddenly burst forth from the spatial rift, carrying a destructive force as it struck Zhao Xing and the Year Beast.

The terrifying pressure rendered Zhao Xing completely immobile, as if his very soul was suffocating.

"Roar!" The Year Beast exhaled aurora, dissolving the black lightning.

"Cook, stay close, it's dangerous here," the Year Beast warned, turning back.

"Yes." Zhao Xing stayed close by.

The desolate black land stretched endlessly, seemingly plunging into endless darkness and desolation after leaving the Nine Nether Dao Palace.

Everything was flat and smooth, with no signs of buildings or life.

Zhao Xing guessed that this should be an independent space where the Nine Nether Dao Master lived before his death, but it was where Great Destruction or a terrifying battle had taken place.

Otherwise, the Earth Vein wouldn't have been compressed into Dead Vein, and they wouldn't be in a completely flat state.

Perhaps there were once magnificent buildings and Magic Array here, but they were destroyed in a high-level battle, leaving only a pure Great Dao of Destruction.

"It's very similar to the situation in those Nirvana Realm, where only the pure Great Dao of Destruction remains, and the other Daos cannot be sensed," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Space shattered and reformed repeatedly, giving birth to winds and lightning of destruction.

The aurora borealis emanated from the mouth of the Year Beast, and the light source formed a small, moving barrier.

Zhao Xing felt that as soon as he left the area covered by the aurora, he would be torn to shreds, leaving not even ashes.

After traveling for about half a month, the Year Beast stopped.

It emitted a ball of light, like the rising Solar Yang, illuminating the surroundings.

For the first time, the unchanging semi-white and semi-dark world has changed.

A black mountain appeared ahead, but strangely, Zhao Xing could not sense any fluctuations in the Earth Vein.

Could this be the place the Year Beast mentioned where they could resupply?

"Year Beast Nian, this mountain seems to be dead; we can't resupply."

"This isn't a mountain," the Year Beast said. "It's the Sky Swallowing World Sea, which took the shape of a mountain during the battle."

"The Sky Swallowing World Sea?" Zhao Xing asked, puzzled.

"In the past, the Nine Nether Dao Master, in order to fight against Emperor Luo, drained nearly 60% of the water veins of the Primordial Sea the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

"The Primordial Sea is the life-giving ocean of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. The actions of the Nine Nether Dao Master have incurred the wrath of the masses, causing many to turn against Emperor Luo."

"Later, some of it was taken back and returned to its original place, but some was refined into the Sky Swallowing World Sea."

"It looks like this right now."

Zhao Xing couldn't see anything strange about it at all.

"Lord Year Beast, why did the Nine Nether Dao Master do this?"

The Primordial Sea is known as the ocean of life. Without it, many regions would become Desolate Territory, and there would even be extinction of life and terrifying natural disasters.

The Nine Nether Dao Master must have known that this would provoke public outrage, so why did he still do it?

"You're so stupid. Didn't I already tell you? It's for refining the Sky Swallowing World Sea!"

"Your subordinate is foolish; what use is this Sky Swallowing World Sea?"

"Devour the heavens, cook, you're so stupid!"

Zhao Xing was filled with deep resentment.

And this Year Beast even looked down on me!

"By then, Emperor Luo had already completed the Sacrifice to Heaven ceremony to Heaven."

"After sealing the heavens, Emperor Luo received the heavens' help, and the Extreme Star subsequently appeared in the world."

"If the Nine Nether Dao Master doesn't do this, and waits until Emperor Luo completes the Sacrifice to Earth ceremony, he will far surpass the Dao Lord and reach the Divine Emperor Realm."

"Once Emperor Luo ascends from the Dao Lord realm to the Divine Emperor realm, he will either submit or await his death."

"Nine Nether certainly won't just wait to die, that's why they're doing this."

"However, his actions actually hastened the Universal Promotion of Emperor Luo."

Hearing the explanation from the Year Beast, Zhao Xing finally understood. He seized the opportunity to flatter the Year Beast: "Lord Year Beast, you are Human Fruit knowledgeable and insightful. I admire you."

The Year Beast seemed quite pleased and less hungry. "Cook, everyone says you're a very capable Agricultural Official. Do you know why the Nine Nether Dao Master wanted to refine the Sky Swallowing World Sea?"

Zhao Xing pondered, about to answer, when he noticed the Year Beast answering itself. "You're really stupid, you don't even know the Great Sun Sea Theory of the Time Faction."

"Extreme Star was born from the Primordial Sea, which preserved the characteristics of the Primordial Sea at the beginning of chaos."

"The Nine Nether Dao Master crafted it to conceal the Extreme Star, preventing its light from reaching him."

"I see." Zhao Xing feigned sudden understanding. "Thank you for your guidance, Year Beast."

Clearly, the Nine Nether Dao Master failed. He must have only managed to refine a half-finished product, which was far from enough to conceal the brilliance of the Extreme Star, so he was no match for Di Luo, a half-step Divine Emperor.

"The Fengshan ceremony, so the step to becoming Divine Emperor really was the Fengshan ceremony - in that case, the Profound Yellow World in ancient times was truly an awesome place." Zhao Xing was somewhat shocked.

"Alright, cook, I'm tired of talking." The Year Beast interrupted Zhao Xing's reverie. "Go and try to see if you can extract the essence of the Boundary Sea from it."

The Year Beast dared not go there because the Boundary Sea "swallowed the sky." As Time-Beast, the Year Beast instinctively feared it, even though it was in a sealed state.

Zhao Xing was taken aback. "Year Beast, can I... can I do it?"

The Sky Swallowing World Sea is so powerful, sending me there to collect spiritual energy... I might get stuck inside, right?

"I'm just letting you try. If it doesn't work, come back." The Year Beast was getting impatient. "Trying won't kill you."

The Year Beast spat out a ball of light, which floated in front of Zhao Xing.

"The Extreme Star Origin will protect you for a short time; you must return before it fades away."

Zhao Xing was stunned once again.

The Extreme Star Origin?

Is this mass in front of me the Extreme Star Origin?

The thing I was desperately searching for, I just got it like that?
