When the Metal God Fierce Beast moved, the remaining Mystic Gods and True God-level fierce beasts were all creatures of low intelligence.
Yet their instinct to kill still drove them, eyes bloodshot, toward Hundred Gods Mountain.
The tens of thousands of gods from Hundred Gods Mountain also advanced under the leadership of several Mystic Gods, avoiding the Metal God battlefield as they charged toward the fierce beast hordes.
Four fierce beast hordes came surging in from all directions, bringing more than a hundred thousand divine-realm fierce beasts with them.
Although Hundred Gods Mountain had fewer gods, only twenty or thirty thousand, they had magical treasures, intelligence, and knew how to cooperate.
For a time, the two sides clashed like two raging torrents.
You cut down a hundred fierce beasts with one sword, while I swallowed dozens of gods in one bite.
There was no mercy whatsoever on the battlefield. It was even common for those of higher cultivation to slaughter enemies of lower realms.
Only after the first and fiercest wave of bloodshed erupted did the stronger combatants gradually begin seeking out enemies of equal strength.
The entire battlefield began to develop into a state of chaotic order.
Luo Qing was hiding at the edge of the beast tide. After all the surrounding Metal God beast kings had charged onto the battlefield,
the sensation of a thorn in his back finally vanished, allowing Luo Qing to breathe a sigh of relief.
He glanced at the bloody, brutal divine battlefield. In just a few minutes, more than ten thousand gods and fierce beasts on both sides had already fallen.
The cruel scene chilled Luo Qing to the core. Earth Immortals already possessed lifespans of at least tens of thousands of years.
Yet at this moment, Earth Immortals were merely insignificant cannon fodder on the battlefield.
The aftershock of any random Mystic God battle could kill a group of Earth Gods.
Even Heavenly Gods avoided the Mystic God and True God battle groups, afraid of being caught in the collateral damage.
At this moment, Luo Qing's beautiful impression that the Primordial Wilderness was filled with treasures and that one could easily become a powerful god through casual cultivation was utterly shattered.
The more realistic Primordial Wilderness was probably one where gods were worthless and cannon fodder was scattered everywhere.
Watching the blood of tens of thousands of gods and fierce beasts flow like rivers, Luo Qing's desire to become stronger reached the highest point of his life.
"I must escape the fate of being cannon fodder!"
"I will Revert to Innate, achieve Golden Immortal, ascend to Great Luo, and step by step reach the supreme pinnacle!"
Luo Qing roared inwardly without pause, and his resolve to walk the path of the strong grew even firmer.
Luo Qing had originally intended to flee while he had the chance, but he drew a deep breath and resolutely looked toward the depths of the battlefield.
His eyes, filled with the desire to grow stronger, swept across every part of the battlefield.
The Azure Light of the Eye of the Great Dao bloomed, and strands of light and turbid baleful auras appeared clearly in Luo Qing's consciousness.
Was there anywhere nearby with more Innate Gods than this place?
Was there a better opportunity than this moment to capture Innate Gods of lower cultivation?
The bold would feast, while the timid would starve!
For the sake of Reverting to Innate and becoming strong, Luo Qing stepped decisively into the battlefield.
Of course, Luo Qing was not truly throwing his life away just to capture a few Innate Gods.
At this moment, the Metal Gods, Mystic Gods, and other high-realm gods and fierce beasts from both sides were locked in an intense struggle at the center of the battlefield.
The remaining lower-level Earth Gods and Heavenly Gods were all at the edges of the battlefield, which stretched for ten thousand miles.
For the sake of caution, Luo Qing naturally stayed far away from the Mystic God battlefield.
He specifically targeted Innate Gods at the Earth God and Heavenly God levels.
Under the Eye of the Great Dao, Luo Qing had long since locked onto the locations of the dozen-plus Innate Gods from Hundred Gods Mountain who were at the Earth God and Heavenly God levels.
What made Luo Qing feel somewhat fortunate was that these Innate Gods were not foolish either. They knew to stay far away from the battle groups of high-cultivation gods and fierce beasts.
As a result, those around these Innate Gods were all people at the Earth God or Heavenly God level.
To avoid accidents, Luo Qing decided to capture two of the Earth God-level Innate Gods first.
The Innate God Wang Gu had been born less than five hundred years ago, yet he had already reached the peak of the Earth God realm.
At this moment, the Earth God Wang Gu was fighting three against one, confronting three Earth God fierce beasts.
Four Natural Earth Gods were also protecting him from the sides.
There had originally been a Heavenly God as well, but now that the great battle had begun, even the Heavenly Gods had to charge at the forefront.
After slapping one fierce beast to death, Wang Gu grabbed another hundred-zhang fierce beast and tore it in half.
"I, Wang Gu, must perform well while I have this opportunity, so that I can seek to become the Mountain Lord's disciple and rise rapidly!"
Wang Gu's gaze burned as he charged toward the last fierce beast before him.
The Mountain Lord's declaration that he would accept disciples had fiercely stimulated the fighting spirit of a group of Innate Gods.
"Die!"
Wang Gu viciously struck his palm toward the fierce beast's head.
However, a streak of red light suddenly flashed beside him.
Wang Gu's primordial spirit suddenly discovered that its connection with his Divine Body had been severed.
His eyes saw a headless Divine Body. Why did this hundred-zhang body look so familiar?
Before he could resolve his confusion, Wang Gu's consciousness sank into darkness.
Luo Qing launched a sneak attack from the side, instantly severing Wang Gu's head before sealing both his Divine Body and primordial spirit.
Everything ended in the blink of an eye.
"Run!"
"Send word quickly! There's—"
The four guardian Earth Gods' expressions changed when they saw Luo Qing kill Wang Gu in an instant.
Just as they were about to flee or send a message,
a blade light wreathed in flames flashed past.
The four Earth Gods, along with the remaining fierce beast, were annihilated by a single slash from Luo Qing.
After succeeding, Luo Qing vanished in an instant.
From the moment Luo Qing attacked until he disappeared, only one breath had passed.
The gods and fierce beasts nearby, who were concentrating on their own battles, failed to notice that several figures had disappeared in the distance.
Even if they had noticed, they would only have assumed those figures had died in battle. People did not care about the dead on a battlefield.
A moment later, a thousand miles away from where Wang Gu had vanished,
Luo Qing used the same method to successfully ambush the last Earth God-level Innate God.
After dealing with the aftermath, Luo Qing quietly approached an Innate God at the Heavenly God level.
Including Bai Yan and the two Innate Gods he had captured earlier, Luo Qing now had five Innate God specimens in his possession.
That was roughly enough for Luo Qing to figure out the structural composition of Innate Gods.
However, Luo Qing felt it was still not secure enough. At least two or three more captures would be safest.
Heavenly Gods were far stronger than Earth Gods, and their divine sense was also much sharper.
A close-range sneak attack that split someone in two with a single blade was nearly impossible.
But this was not enough to stump Luo Qing. There was more than one method of launching a sneak attack.
Several dozen kilometers away, an Innate God at the Heavenly God level had transformed into a two-hundred-zhang Divine Body and was suppressing two Heavenly God fierce beasts.
The two Heavenly God fierce beasts were about to be splashed with blood right before his eyes.
The Innate God was currently in a state of extreme explosive power.
Luo Qing's Eye of the Great Dao surveyed all directions, and he keenly seized this opportunity.
Two Blazing Thunder Pearls shot toward the Innate God's back like lightning.
"A sneak attack!"
The instant the thunder pearls appeared, the Innate God, who was unleashing his full strength, sensed them.
His expression changed, and a murderous glint appeared in his eyes, but he did not dare turn around to block them.
If he released his suppression of the two fierce beasts, they would likely pounce and bite him in an instant.
A protective spirit shield and a defensive Divine Artifact lit up one after another.
"Once I deal with these two fierce beasts, I'll take care of this little rat!"
He believed that relying on his powerful protective shield and defensive Divine Artifact to block one strike from the two magical treasures should not be a problem.
After that one strike, he would have his hands free.
However, when the two thunder pearls struck the defensive Divine Artifact, the aura of an Innate Treasure exploded at once.
Only then did terror appear on the Innate God's face.
"Damn it, two Innate Treasures self-detonated just to ambush me?"
"Who is it? Divine Steed Heavenly God or Golden Dusk Heavenly God?"
The thought flashed through the Innate God's mind before he was immediately swallowed by the explosion.
The protective shield and defensive Divine Artifact were destroyed at the first moment.
In the blink of an eye, the Innate God and the two fierce beasts were all blasted into critical condition.
Whoosh!
After suffering serious injuries, the Innate God had no thought of revenge whatsoever and turned to flee.
Unfortunately, Luo Qing had already arrived beside him with the cracked disc of the Five Elements Arena in hand.
Although the spatial seal of the Five Elements Arena had been destroyed once before, damaging the bodies of the five Immortal Artifacts,
they had not been completely ruined and could still be used with some difficulty.
The heavily injured Innate God was immediately trapped within a radius of ten miles.
