Making a Mess

Why aren't you leaving yet?

Yang Haoran's henchmen shouted from afar.

Yi Yun said, "We're not going to steal your wild beasts, we're just looking around here, is that alright?"

"You want to steal Young Master Haoran's technique for condensing beast seals?" The lackey, thinking he had seen through Yi Yun's intentions, sneered, "So what if I show you? Do you think condensing beast seals is something you can learn just by watching?"

"Let them be," Yang Haoran said. Since they were willing to be spectators, it was fine, especially since Chu Xiaoran and Chu Luo were both young girls, having some pretty female spectators was not bad.

"Young Master Haoran's Dharma Aspect Totem is about to advance, right...?" a follower asked Yang Haoran.

"Hmm... If things go smoothly today, I might be able to finish it." Yang Haoran was very confident. He had considerable talent in Dharma Aspect Totem. Although he was unable to condense Dharma Aspect Totem before reaching the Origin Foundation Realm, every time he condensed a Beast Seal after reaching the Origin Foundation Realm, the quality was extremely high, and his cultivation of the Totem Secret Method progressed by leaps and bounds.

"Young Master Haoran is indeed remarkable. He's only at the mid-stage of the Origin Foundation Realm, yet he's already condensing an elite-level Dharma Aspect Totem. In the future, at the peak of the Origin Foundation Realm, he'll be at the Beast General level Dharma Aspect Totem. If he becomes Human Race Hegemon, that will be at the Beast King level. And at the peak of the powerful ruler level, he'll probably be at the Ancient Remnant Species level!"

The ranking system for Dharma Aspect Totem and totems is the same as that for wild beasts.

Generally speaking, only sages and great powers can condense the Dharma Aspect Totem of the Ancient Remnant Species.

The possibility of Yang Haoran becoming a sage or a great power is almost zero. Even becoming a peak-level Human Race Hegemon is extremely difficult, let alone possessing an Ancient Remnant Species- level Dharma Aspect Totem at the peak of Human Race Hegemon.

"That's an outrageous boast!"

Beside Yi Yun, Qiu Niu snorted coldly. He deliberately lowered his voice to avoid being overheard by his lackeys, which would only lead to another argument.

"Take out the array plate and take a picture. We'll record the process of Young Master Haoran's Dharma Aspect Totem advancing; these images will be invaluable in the future."

As the henchmen spoke, they took out an Imprint Array Disk and began recording the process of Yang Haoran condensing the beast seal.

Since the day before yesterday, they have been recording every single session. These are all part of Yang Haoran's glorious history, something that others can admire and look up to.

Yang Haoran began to condense his beast seal. Yi Yun and the others watched. Although Yang Haoran had no shortage of women, he still wanted to show off in front of outstanding women and let these freshmen have a good look at him.

Connecting his spiritual power to the corpse of the Mysterious Golden Savage Bull, Yang Haoran, following the records of the Totem Secret Method, controlled the wildly scattered Pure Yang Power and slowly gathered it together.

For martial artists in the Purple Blood Realm, condensing a Beast Seal is very difficult. However, once they reach the Origin Foundation Realm, because their dantian has been forged into a foundation, martial artists have much easier control over energy. At this point, most martial artists possess the ability to condense a Beast Seal.

If Origin Foundation Realm martial artist cannot condense a beast seal, it is actually a very shameful thing.

The Pure Yang Power gathered more and more, and soon condensed into a ball of light the size of a walnut.

Chu Luo once said that the beast seal she condensed was only the size of a peanut, and that was only possible under extremely rare circumstances. Yang Haoran, on the other hand, could easily condense a sphere of light the size of a walnut with a casual attempt. This is the difference between the Origin Foundation Realm and the Purple Blood Realm.

"Young Master Haoran is truly gifted!" several followers exclaimed. They weren't just flattering him; they genuinely admired him. Even among the 99% of the Origin Foundation Realm martial artists in Tai'a Divine City, they couldn't condense beast seals as easily as Yang Haoran.

Even Qiu Niu, who had always been unconvinced, had to admit that Yang Haoran had reason to be proud.

Just as the walnut-sized ball of light was about to condense into a beast seal, Yi Yun's heart stirred. He connected his spiritual power to the Purple Crystal, and a purple vortex quietly appeared...

The Purple Crystal can control unclaimed energy; the energy left behind by the Mysterious Golden Savage Bull after its death was unclaimed energy.

Yi Yun could use this energy to practice the Savage Heaven Technique, or absorb it directly; neither would be a problem.

However, to use this energy to condense Dharma Aspect Totem, one needs to rely on the Totem Secret Method. Using the Totem Secret Method requires the killing intent to resonate with the energy, which is impossible since the Mysterious Golden Savage Bull was not killed by Yi Yun.

However, if it's just about causing damage, that's much easier.

With a thought, Yi Yun caused the Pure Yang Power in the distance to immediately become disordered.

At this moment, the beast seal controlled by Yang Haoran had just condensed halfway and was right in front of him. He was preparing to absorb the beast seal into his body.

The sudden chaos of energy caught Yang Haoran off guard; he barely had time to react.

"Burst!"

Yi Yun's pupils suddenly contracted, and he used his mental power to drive the power of the Purple Crystal, shooting it out like an arrow!

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the energy ball exploded just half a foot away from Yang Haoran's face!

"Um!?"

Yang Haoran was startled and leaped backward, but the shockwave from the explosion still left him covered in dust and dirt.

The shockwave also ripped off his hair, leaving his long, messy hair hanging down!

"..."

Around Yang Haoran, several of Yang Haoran followers who had prepared praise and flattery were also caught in the crossfire, looking utterly disheveled. They were dumbfounded when they saw Yang Haoran's dark face.

What on earth happened...?

Looking at the remaining energy in the sky, the iridescent glow of the energy explosion still lingered in their irises, confirming that what had just happened was not an illusion.

The henchmen were all dumbfounded; the beast seal that Young Master Haoran had condensed had actually exploded?

When a martial artist in the mid-stage of the Origin Foundation Realm tries to condense a beast seal, the only difference is the quality; very few people manage to condense one halfway through and it explodes.

Let alone his underlings, even Chu Luo and Chu Xiaoran were extremely surprised. How could Yang Haoran have failed?

At this moment, Qiu Niu suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha! That's hilarious! Who was it that just said we wanted to steal Young Master Haoran's technique for forming beast seals? And that we couldn't learn it? Oh my god, we really can't learn that kind of technique, hahahahahaha!"

Qiu Niu slapped his thigh, his voice unrestrained.

Yang Haoran's eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at Qiu Niu with murderous intent. Qiu Niu had a defiant expression, like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water. "What, you want to hit me? As long as you don't kill me, I'll use the array plate to record you condensing your beast seal today, and then I'll go to Tai'a Divine City and announce that Young Master Haoran failed to condense his beast seal and, in a fit of rage, wanted to hit me."

Qiu Niu was completely unmoved by reason and was not afraid of Yang Haoran taking action.

Yang Haoran sneered, "A bunch of sparrows who don't know how high the sky is. Seeing a swan occasionally flying low, they think they fly higher than the swan. How utterly laughable!"

"One pond, release the Beast Luring Grass!" Yang Haoran said to a follower without turning his head, his voice like a knife.

"Luring... Beast Luring Grass..." The follower named Yichi was clearly stunned for a moment. Beast Luring Grass emits a special scent to lure wild beasts. This kind of Beast Luring Grass is generally only used in other parts of the Divine Wilderness. However, using Beast Luring Grass in a place like Falling Star Abyss, where there are many and strong wild beasts, is very dangerous.

If we attract wild beasts that we can't handle, then we'll be in trouble.

"What, you think I can't handle this?"

Yang Haoran's voice held a murderous intent.

Yi Chi swallowed hard. Not daring to disobey Yang Haoran, he had no choice but to put down the Beast Luring Grass and use medicine to accelerate its ripening and flowering.

Then, a unique fragrance wafted out.

The Beast Luring Grass was indeed very effective. After only half an incense stick's time, a roar was suddenly heard, and a black Giant Beast poked its head out from behind a boulder. Its blood-red eyes stared at the Beast Luring Grass with a greedy look.

"Azure Blood Ape!"

Upon seeing the suddenly appearing wild beast, Yang Haoran's eyes flashed with bloodlust. He took the initiative to attack, and in a flash, he appeared in front of the Azure Blood Ape, raising his sword and bringing it down.

At this moment, Yang Haoran felt a surge of ruthlessness and unleashed a series of killing moves. In just ten breaths, he killed the Azure Blood Ape!

The Azure Blood Ape was decapitated. Yang Haoran had been watching Qiu Niu for a year, and the still-dripping purple sword seemed to be a demonstration of power. "You will see the difference between us!"

"Hmph!" Qiu Niu snorted coldly, not afraid of Yang Haoran. In fact, he knew that Yang Haoran had probably made a mistake earlier. This time, when he got serious, there was probably nothing to laugh at him for.

At this moment, Yi Yun quietly approached and seemingly casually transmitted his voice to Qiu Niu, "Brother Niu, didn't you just say you were going to record a video?"

Qiu Niu shook his head and transmitted his voice, "There's nothing worth recording. This guy surnamed Yang is most likely to succeed this time. Are we going to record him showing off?"

"If he gets too much attention, delete it. What if it fails..." Yi Yun said seemingly casually.

"That makes sense!" Qiu Niu thought to himself, taking out the Imprint Array Disk. After all, recording it wouldn't cost him anything.

Seeing Qiu Niu's actions, Yang Haoran smiled.

What an idiot! He's all brawn and no brains. The sight of his own beast seal exploding was a once-in-a-century spectacle, and he actually thought he could make the same mistake a second time?

Yang Haoran focused his energy in his dantian and easily extracted the energy from the Azure Blood Ape's body, condensing it into an energy ball the size of a walnut.

Yang Haoran even intentionally aimed the energy ball at Qiu Niu to give him a better shooting angle.

The energy cluster slowly writhed and drifted towards Yang Haoran; it had already acquired eighty percent of the form of the Beast Seal.

Seeing this, Yang Haoran was very satisfied. He glanced at Qiu Niu in a show of defiance. The beast mark, the size of a walnut, was so clearly defined that even Purple Blood Realm warrior could only dream of it.

"Want to record this? Then write it down!"

Yang Haoran smiled disdainfully, opened his mouth, and was about to suck the beast seal into it.

At that moment, Yang Haoran's expression suddenly changed, and his face turned deathly pale.

"Boom!"

Without warning, the Azure Blood Ape's beast mark exploded, and it exploded just three inches in front of Yang Haoran.

No matter how fast Yang Haoran reacted, it was too late. He retreated rapidly, but his mouth was still full of blood from the explosion, and his teeth almost broke.

"Bang!"

As Yang Haoran stepped back, he bumped into a rock and almost fell to the ground.

He braced himself with the purple sword, and at this moment, Yang Haoran was disheveled, his face was ashen, and his expression was ferocious.

What on earth is going on!?
