Chen Xuan did not linger in the valley. He continued deeper into the first level of the Immortal Sword Domain.
The farther he went, the denser the ancient energy in the air became, and the more frequently fierce beasts appeared.
He encountered more than a dozen fierce beasts containing the creation dao, each with a different form. Some resembled birds, others land beasts, and a few were limbless creatures resembling reptiles. Inside each was a fragment of the creation dao, large or small.
Chen Xuan hunted them down and absorbed their power one by one.
His combat techniques grew increasingly polished, and his time origin imprint and matter origin imprint worked together with ever greater harmony. He usually began by using time power to slow a beast's reactions, then constructed traps or barriers with the power of matter to restrict its movements, before directly extracting the creation power within it with his creation origin imprint.
By dusk on the first day, he had killed forty-two fierce beasts, and his creation origin imprint was roughly forty percent of the way to its next advancement.
His hunting efficiency was even higher on the second day.
His perception of creation power had become sharper. From far away, he could pinpoint the precise location of a beast's energy core in advance, then strike directly at it, avoiding a great deal of unnecessary fighting.
