Chaos Gourd Vine Reconstructs Body for Fierce Beast Qiongqi!

Buzhou Mountain.

Seven-colored divine light shot into the sky as Chaotic Turbulence raged out from Space Rifts.

Innate Spiritual Qi, Heaven and Earth Sha Qi, and Tribulation Karma intertwined in the air, sweeping across the lands along with the pressure of the Great God Pangu.

Buzhou Mountain was formed from the spine of the Great God Pangu, the foremost of the Primordial World's Immortal's Blessed Lands. However, for millions of years, it had been occupied by the Wu Race, with no great power daring to set foot on this sacred ground.

Even the siblings Fuxi and Nuwa only occupied Fengqi Mountain at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, using it as their own Dojo.

"Immortal Emperor, what is that?"

The Fierce Beast Qiongqi beneath East King Duke's feet opened its bloody maw, a hint of confusion in its eyes.

The rules of Heaven and Earth converged over the entire Buzhou Mountain, dense Innate Spiritual Qi being devoured like a vortex by some mysterious force, and the Fierce Beast Qiongqi sensed an astonishing energy.

Suddenly!

The Immortal Cloud dispersed, revealing that mysterious object.

Between the Nine Heavens, a billion-zhang Chaos Gourd Vine coiled around the cliff, inhaling and exhaling Innate Spiritual Qi, and upon it, seven gourds of different colors swayed in the wind.

Immediately, Seven-Colored Divine Light illuminated the entire Buzhou Mountain, drawing the attention of all the great powers.

"This is the Chaos Gourd Vine, a Chaos Spiritual Root. However, bound by the rules of the Primordial World's Heaven and Earth, it can never transform and be born into the world. Even the Chaos Gourd Vine itself is rejected by Heaven and Earth!"

"Those seven gourds are all treasures at the level of Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures. That is why such a terrifying phenomenon has appeared!"

A gleam of light flashed in East King Duke's eyes.

Rumor had it that the Seventh Chaos Gourd was the most extraordinary, but it remained to be seen whether it could break through the Heavenly Dao Shackles and become a divine object at the level of an Innate Supreme Treasure.

The seven gourds were not yet fully ripe, so East King Duke simply stood on the back of the Fierce Beast Qiongqi, hands clasped behind his back, waiting for the arrival of the other Innate Deities.

Sure enough!

Within moments, several figures descended before the Chaos Gourd Vine.

"Daoist Brother East King Duke, This Humble One did not expect you to arrive so quickly. Even I, the Three Pure Ones, using our Dao techniques, cannot compare to your peerless divine powers, Brother!"

"If there is an opportunity, could you and I Discuss the Dao and spar a bit?"

Old Master Taiqing slightly cupped his hands, his heart burning with passion.

Being able to spar with a great power like East King Duke would allow him to gain insights into the Heavenly Dao, make up for his own deficiencies, and mutually verify the Great Dao.

"Daoist Brother Taiqing flatters me too much. It is only because the Fierce Beast Qiongqi triggered the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire that This Emperor was able to come before Buzhou Mountain. And do not forget, Brother, the Fierce Beast Qiongqi's realm is Late-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal!"

East King Duke's tone was calm as he spoke to Old Master Taiqing.

In terms of speed, the Fierce Beast Qiongqi was in no way inferior to the Two Golden Crow Brothers. With a single flap of its Wings, it could achieve Instantaneous Teleportation, crossing endless Void.

"Daoist Brother Qiongqi, do you have any brothers or sisters? Introduce them to me!"

"I simply want a companion for cultivating the Dao. I will not take them as my Mount!"

Tongtian stared at the ferocious, terrifying, and domineering Fierce Beast Qiongqi, a hint of envy welling up in his heart.

Completely disregarding his status as the Pangu Orthodox Lineage, he ran straight up to the Fierce Beast Qiongqi, wanting to get closer to it and thereby swindle a Mount to play with.

Little did he know, the Fierce Beast Clan only had Qiongqi left alive; in the entire Primordial World, it was the only one.

"Roar, roar, roar... While This King is still not in the mood to eat people, Daoist Brother Tongtian, you'd better stay far away from me!"

"Otherwise, cooking you with Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire would surely taste absolutely wonderful!"

Whoosh!

The Fierce Beast Qiongqi let out a long roar, its world-destroying Sha Qi enveloping Tongtian.

In an instant!

Tongtian was sent flying backward, his face turning somewhat pale.

It wasn't that he was afraid of the Fierce Beast Qiongqi, but rather the Killing Will on its body, weathered by countless ages, was too much for Tongtian's little heart to bear.

After all, the Fierce Beast Qiongqi was the right-hand man of the Beast Emperor Shen Ni, having slaughtered countless living beings. Even top races like the Dragon Race and the Phoenix Race had many of their kind devoured by it as blood food.

"Tongtian, the Fierce Beast Qiongqi is not something you or I can control. Only Daoist Brother East King Duke can manage such a terrifying Exotic Beast!"

"If you want a Mount, then This Seat will give you my White Crane Boy!"

Yuanshi stared at Upper Pure Tongtian as if he were an idiot.

Hearing this, Tongtian shook his head!

"Your White Crane Boy is only at the Golden Immortal realm. How can he compare to the Fierce Beast Qiongqi!"

Just as the Three Pure Ones and East King Duke were exchanging pleasantries, the others—Fuxi, Nuwa, Zhen Yuanzi and Old Ancestor Hongyun, Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi—also descended upon Buzhou Mountain.

Everyone's eyes burned with fervor as they stared at the gourds about to ripen.

A Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!

Even though they were all top-tier Innate Deities, few of them possessed such items, and some didn't even have a single one.

The Chaos Gourd Vine was a stroke of fortune!

"Fellow Daoists, these seven gourds still need some time to ripen. How about we wait a moment and, once they are mature, each choose the gourd that is fated for us?"

"Daoist East King Duke, you are the most powerful among us Innate Deities. Why don't you choose first?"

Old Master Taiqing spoke lightly, not bothering to regard the other Innate Deities. The only one here worthy of his attention was East King Duke alone.

Since their meeting at Purple Cloud Palace, the Three Pure Ones had interacted cordially with East King Duke. Even Yuanshi had set aside his pride, treating him with caution and goodwill.

[Ding!]

[God-Tier Selection Mission refreshed. Host now has two choices.]

[Choice One: Forcibly claim the entire Chaos Gourd Vine. Reward: One drop of Pangu's Blood Essence.]

[Choice Two: Select a Chaos Gourd and help it break the Heavenly Dao Shackles, advancing to an Innate Supreme Treasure. Reward: Dragon Clan's Dragon Transformation Pool, Ancestor Dragon Pearl.]

The System's Big Sister Voice was sultry and alluring.

East King Duke had been waiting for this moment. Naturally, he had already made his decision.

Pangu's Blood Essence was fine, but East King Duke's body was already at the Chaos Demon God level. A single drop would not make his physique any stronger.

Rather than offending the Three Pure Ones and the various great powers, it was better to play it safe and take the Chaos Gourd instead.

More importantly, with the Dragon Transformation Pool and the Ancestor Dragon Pearl, he could help the Fierce Beast Qiongqi reshape its body, allowing it to shed the Chaos Demon God Remnant Soul and gain the recognition of the Heavenly Dao.

During the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation, the Three Races fought for supremacy. Countless dragons fell, and their corpses were cast into the Dragon Transformation Pool, even containing the blood essence of the Ancestor Dragon himself.

As for the Ancestor Dragon Pearl, it held the Ancestor Dragon's entire origin. It could elevate Qiongqi's Background and grant it a draconic might, billions of times stronger than its beastly form.

Moreover, the Dragon Transformation Pool was a Dragon Clan's Supreme Treasure, its own grade being a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

If East King Duke wished to befriend the Dragon Clan in the future, the Dragon Transformation Pool would be the perfect chess piece—and the foundation of his authority over them.

"System, This Emperor chooses to claim the Chaos Gourd!"

East King Duke said slowly.

Instantly!

Within the system space, two clusters of golden light flickered.

"Daoist Taiqing, This Emperor will take only the seventh Chaos Gourd. As for the remaining gourds, fellow Daoists may pick them yourselves!"

"There are still a thousand years until the gourds ripen. This Emperor intends to help the Fierce Beast Qiongqi reshape its body. If any fellow Daoist is interested, you may watch!"

To make the Chaos Gourd break the Heavenly Dao Shackles, East King Duke's foundation alone was insufficient. He needed to borrow the power of the Fierce Beast Qiongqi to forge a true Innate Supreme Treasure.

But the critical step was to reshape Qiongqi's body, elevating its realm and origin to a higher level.

"Great Good!"

Nuwa, Zhen Yuanzi, and the others nodded slightly.

They had long seen that the Fierce Beast Qiongqi was only a Primordial Spirit body. Its towering frame and ferocious scales were merely manifestations of Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire.

Even so, the Fierce Beast Qiongqi was already ferocious and domineering.

If its body were reshaped, who knew what heights it could reach?

Could it rival the Twelve Ancestral Witches?

In the Void clouds, East King Duke stood before the Fierce Beast Qiongqi. With a wave of his right hand, holy mana surged forth, and the Great Dao Treasure Myriad Heavens Celebration Cloud floated above Qiongqi's head.

Boom!

"Heaven and Earth have Righteous Qi, mingled and bestowed upon all forms!"

"I am skilled in nurturing Righteous Qi. Righteousness is the very essence of Heaven and Earth!"

"Heaven and Earth Sha Qi scatter, Chaos Evil is purged, Heavenly Dao Destiny gathers. By This Emperor's decree, cut away the Karmic Tribulation Qi of the Fierce Beast Qiongqi, and grant eternal clarity!"

Boundless mana poured into the Myriad Heavens Celebration Cloud. Countless strands of Righteous Qi enveloped the Fierce Beast Qiongqi, using the lingering power of Great God Pangu to wash away its defilement.

A spark of Life Force gradually emerged from within the Primordial Spirit.

The Tribulation Karma that polluted all things, like maggots, crumbled into ash.

The Fierce Beast Qiongqi was about to be reborn!
