Three Seconds as the God of Ferocity, a Dream of Ten Years!

Xiao Yin stared at the scene before him, completely dumbfounded.

Weren't they supposed to be corpses? How were they still alive?!

He had been careless!

"Ant! Desecrator! Die!!!"

At that moment, two soul roars exploded thunderously within Xiao Yin's sea of consciousness!

Boom—!!!

To the left, Heaven-Burning Fire transformed into a world-ending torrent, sweeping toward him with terrifying heat capable of incinerating souls! Wherever it passed, space dissolved into nothingness!

To the right, Absolute Ice condensed into a God-Slaying Spear, piercing through the air with the ultimate dead silence capable of freezing all things! Wherever its spearhead pointed, space and time froze!

These were attacks at the God King level!

Before those attacks, Xiao Yin felt as insignificant as an ant in a storm. The physical defense he had been so proud of was as fragile as paper!

The Taotie Martial Soul's pressure was instantly crushed, even provoking the two dragon souls into even more violent fury!

Death!

This was the first time Xiao Yin had felt death approaching with such clarity!

"System—!!!"

At the brink of death, Xiao Yin's consciousness let out a hysterical roar!

[Ding! A fatal threat has been detected! Current host Wish Value: 3154 points!]

[Optimal exchange option: Primordial Beast Taotie Experience Card (Basic)! Duration: 3 seconds! Cost: 3000 Wish Value! Confirm exchange?!]

"Confirm! Confirm the exchange!!!"

Xiao Yin's consciousness burned like fire!

[Exchange successful! 3000 Wish Value consumed! Primordial Beast Taotie Experience Card (Basic) activated! Countdown: 3 seconds!]

[Warning: The Experience Card's energy is too immense. The host's body and soul will endure an enormous burden! Consequences unknown!]

Buzz—!!!

An indescribably terrifying will descended in an instant!

It forcibly took over Xiao Yin's body!

"Roarrrr—!!!!!"

A Taotie roar that tore through the eternal ages of space and time erupted from Xiao Yin's throat!

No!

The one roaring at this moment was no longer Xiao Yin!

It was the Primordial Beast Taotie, descending through his shell of flesh!

Xiao Yin's body was instantly enveloped in darkness that devoured all light!

His form underwent a terrifying, earth-shaking transformation in an instant!

A colossal phantom beyond description replaced Xiao Yin's small body and descended into the underground space!

That phantom had tiger fangs and human claws. With every sweep of its sharp claws, space shattered!

Its enormous head was dragon-like yet not a dragon, incomparably ferocious. Its huge maw opened as though it connected to a black hole of ultimate oblivion that devoured all things!

Its body seemed to be formed from the most primordial Chaos, existing between substance and illusion, yet radiating absolute pressure that instantly stiffened both dragon souls!

It was the absolute suppression of bloodline and status!

It was the instinctive domination of a supreme existence at the top of the food chain over lesser lifeforms!

Time itself seemed to freeze beneath the presence of that terrifying being!

Only the three-second countdown to death remained!

The true Taotie completely ignored the Heaven-Burning torrent of fire and the freezing spear of ice!

Its enormous eyes, like the sun and moon, coldly swept over the two dragon souls trembling violently with instinctive terror, as well as the massive God King remains behind them!

Its gigantic mouth opened!

There was no sound, only an absolute will to devour!

Rumble—!!!

An indescribably massive black hole instantly formed before Taotie's gaping maw!

The black hole spun, releasing terrifying suction!

The crimson-gold torrent of fire, enough to burn everything to ash, seemed to encounter a bottomless abyss. It was instantly torn apart and swallowed into the black hole with mournful wails!

The ice-blue God-Slaying Spear, capable of freezing space and time, shattered inch by inch like fragile ice crystal, transforming into the purest source of ice before being devoured by the black hole!

The phantom dragon souls condensed from the God King origins let out soundless shrieks of terror and despair. Without the slightest ability to resist, they were forcibly stripped from the skeletons, struggling as they were dragged toward the black hole that destroyed all things!

Finally, there were the two God King remains, each as enormous as primordial mountain ranges!

The dark golden-red remains of the Fire Dragon King, and the crystalline ice-blue remains of the Water Dragon King!

Under the black hole's law-transcending devouring power, they were completely swallowed!

In merely two seconds, the entire underground space was completely "cleared"!

The magma vanished!

The ice field vanished!

The dragon souls vanished!

The dragon remains vanished!

Only the most primitive underground rock strata remained, along with a cocoon floating in the void and radiating a terrifying devouring aura!

The three seconds were up!

The primordial Taotie phantom that blanketed everything instantly dispersed!

Xiao Yin's consciousness returned at once, but before he could even feel the changes in his body, an indescribably terrifying torrent of energy exploded within him!

"Urgh..."

Xiao Yin only managed a brief muffled groan before his consciousness was completely drowned by the torrent of energy, plunging into the deepest coma.

His body was tightly wrapped in a Chaos Cocoon, its surface constantly flowing with crimson-gold and ice-blue light.

Within the cocoon, two extreme powers originating from the God King sources crazily remolded every inch of his flesh and soul under the guidance of the lingering Taotie origin will!

At the same time, the Taotie Martial Soul greedily devoured this heaven-sent fortune!

Outside the cocoon, the underground space that had been devoured clean fell into dead silence.

Only the Chaos Cocoon pulsed faintly like a heart. With every pulse, it released terrifying energy ripples that made even space tremble.

Ten years passed in the underground space, while only one year passed outside.

Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well Valley.

The red and white mist still drifted, and the Immortal Herbs and exotic flowers still swayed.

Yet the atmosphere within the valley was utterly different from a year ago.

Dugu Bo sat cross-legged on a platform along the cliff wall. His aura was more solemn and profound than it had been a year earlier, and he faintly showed signs of breaking through to rank ninety-two.

Yet there was little joy on his face. Instead, it was filled with unshakeable gloom and anxiety.

His emerald eyes were fixed on the Ice and Fire Twin Springs, which had remained silent for an entire year. His brows were knotted tightly together.

A year had passed!

An entire year!

Ever since Xiao Yin had leaped into the spring that day, he had vanished like a stone sinking into the sea, without the slightest trace of sound or movement!

At first, Dugu Bo could still sense terrifying energy fluctuations coming from deep within the spring, but not long afterward, those fluctuations vanished completely, leaving only deathly silence!

"Kid... what exactly... happened to you?" Dugu Bo muttered hoarsely.

If not for the Mental Mark jade stone Xiao Yin had given him remaining intact, he would have likely charged beneath the spring long ago.

Just then!

Rumble rumble rumble—!!!

The entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well Valley began to shake violently without warning!

It was as though a sleeping earth dragon had turned over!

The ground cracked, and the mountain walls trembled!

The red and white mist churned madly as if boiling!

An indescribably terrifying pressure erupted from the depths where the Ice and Fire Twin Springs met, like an awakening primordial beast, shooting into the sky!

Buzz—!!!

Above the valley, the winds and clouds changed color!

Pillars of crimson-red and ice-blue light entwined as they tore through the clouds and shot straight into the heavens!

Faintly, dragon roars and the howls of ferocious beasts seemed to echo between heaven and earth!

"This... this is?!"

Dugu Bo's expression changed drastically. He sprang to his feet and stared fixedly at the center of the phenomenon!

His emerald pupils were filled with utter shock!

The spring that had been silent for a year... had finally stirred!

At that moment, beneath the spring, within the underground space where time flowed ten times faster.

The enormous Chaos Cocoon, flowing with crimson-gold and ice-blue radiance, was covered in profound Taotie patterns.

Crack!

A faint sound of breaking rang out.

The cocoon cracked open.
