Having a magical treasure and not using it, choosing instead to fight the Primordial Savage Dragon to the death—wouldn't that be pure insanity?
Therefore, as soon as the battle began, Jiang Yuan summoned the Myriad Star Pot, intending to end the fight immediately.
Don't talk about fairness; the Primordial Savage Dragon was a dignified Quasi-Saint, so was it fair for him to bully Jiang Yuan, a mere Heavenly Immortal? A Heavenly Immortal fighting a Quasi-Saint with a top-tier innate spiritual treasure was entirely reasonable.
The Myriad Star Pot hung in the air, crashing down with the might of the sun, moon, and stars, appearing as if it were about to collide with the remnant soul of the Primordial Savage Dragon.
At the critical moment, the Primordial Savage Dragon suddenly turned around and fled, preparing to leave Jiang Yuan's sea of consciousness and escape elsewhere.
He wasn't stupid; how could he not know that Jiang Yuan, with his extraordinary background, was not someone whose body could be seized by a mere remnant soul? Thus, from the very beginning, he had no intention of fighting to the death.
His previous desperate struggle was merely a ruse to deceive Jiang Yuan and create an opportunity for his own escape.
"Do you think you can leave?"
Jiang Yuan was not surprised by this outcome; he had manifested his two Dharma Images precisely to guard against this moment.
The Emperor Xi Dharma Image held the Writing Brush of Creation, its tip like a blade, seemingly possessing the power to sever time, and slashed across the waist of the Primordial Savage Dragon's remnant soul.
The Ancestral Dragon Dharma Image hovered beneath the Book of Creation, upon which the phantom of the River of Time and Space flickered in and out of existence, slowing the time belonging to the Primordial Savage Dragon's remnant soul and causing his speed to drop abruptly.
"You seek death!"
Suddenly attacked, the Primordial Savage Dragon's remnant soul was not panicked. Cold light flickered in his eyes as he glared at the Ancestral Dragon Dharma Image with deep hatred.
He had been killed by the Ancestral Dragon in the past, and the two shared a sea of deep-seated enmity. Although the figure before him was not the true Ancestral Dragon, the sight still made it impossible for him to conceal the hatred in his heart.
"To be able to cultivate this Dharma Image, you must be related to the Ancestral Dragon. In that case, let me give you a grand gift before I depart."
The Primordial Savage Dragon's remnant soul opened his mouth and spat out a stream of Sha Qi. Visibly, his figure grew three parts more illusory.
This was Chaos Sha Qi, which could not only extinguish the spirituality of all things but also possessed an undying nature. Once struck, it would immediately take root in the body, impossible to eradicate by any means.
Furthermore, this Sha Qi could corrode the mind, causing one to fall and slowly degenerate into a Fierce Beast.
This was the grand gift the Primordial Savage Dragon left for Jiang Yuan; he intended not only to destroy his Ancestral Dragon Dharma Image but also to transform him into a mindless Fierce Beast.
However, before this Chaos Sha Qi could take effect, a massive suction force emerged, drawing both the Primordial Savage Dragon's remnant soul and the Chaos Sha Qi away.
The Myriad Star Pot possessed the power to absorb all things!
Did the Primordial Savage Dragon really think he was still alive? He was nothing but a remnant soul.
Even if he burned his own essence, he could at most unleash the strength of the sixth or seventh level of the Heavenly Immortal realm. Before a top-tier magical treasure like the Myriad Star Pot, he was not worth mentioning and had no power to resist.
With a boom, the stars swirled within the Myriad Star Pot, directly grinding the Primordial Savage Dragon's remnant soul into fragments. Yet, he was a Quasi-Saint after all; even with his soul shattered, he did not die and continued to attempt to reform his body.
The next moment, the stars swirled again, shattering him once more. He became even weaker, but he still did not die.
"Is this what a Quasi-Saint is? Even with only a remnant soul left, he is still so difficult to kill."
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan could not help but exclaim in admiration.
What formidable vitality! Fortunately, he had the Myriad Star Pot to protect him; otherwise, he truly might not have been a match for the Primordial Savage Dragon's remnant soul and would have been unable to escape the fate of having his body seized.
Indeed, there was a reason why the methods of the Chaos Demon Gods were classified as forbidden arts; they were too dangerous, and a moment of carelessness could lead to one's body being seized.
"No matter how strong your vitality is, there is a limit. I want to see how many more times you can hold on."
With the remnant soul of the Undying Savage Dragon trapped, Jiang Yuan felt at ease. He continued to urge the Myriad Star Pot, shattering the dragon's remnant soul over and over again, hoping to refine him completely.
This was a Quasi-Saint's remnant soul; if he could grind away its will, the remaining power would be the essence of essences. Even if a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal were to refine it, it would bring significant benefits, let alone a Heavenly Immortal.
It was only because the Creation Scripture Jiang Yuan practiced was special; if he had used a lesser scripture, refining this strand of the Savage Dragon's remnant soul would have been enough to allow him to reach the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm.
Rumble!
The stars swirled time and again, and the will of the Savage Dragon's remnant soul grew weaker and weaker, eventually fading into nothingness. But Jiang Yuan did not let his guard down and continued to refine it.
This continued for who knows how many more times, until suddenly, a trace of extremely profound power emerged from within the Savage Dragon's remnant soul.
Before Jiang Yuan could see what this power was, the Jade Plate of Creation, which had been resting quietly in the depths of his sea of consciousness, suddenly revived on its own and instantly sucked this power dry.
"Ah, this..."
Jiang Yuan was shocked. Since he had obtained the Jade Plate of Creation, he had never seen it react so strongly. From this, one could tell how much it craved this power.
So the question was, what exactly was this power?
Glancing at the Savage Dragon's remnant soul, Jiang Yuan had a vague guess in his heart. Then, he looked at the Jade Plate of Creation, preparing to verify his hypothesis.
After absorbing this power, the Jade Plate of Creation underwent a change. On its surface, a blurred figure appeared, resembling both a dragon and a snake, radiating supreme majesty.
At the same time, whether it was Jiang Yuan's imagination or not, he felt that the Jade Plate of Creation had become a little stronger than before.
"It's not an illusion; it really has become stronger. If my guess is correct, this power should be the Power of the Chaos Demon God carried by the Savage Dragon's remnant soul."
Jiang Yuan's guess was verified; that power was the Power of the Chaos Demon God, and after absorbing it, the Jade Plate of Creation had been enhanced.
No, it should be said that it had recovered slightly. The Jade Plate of Creation he obtained was incomplete, only one forty-ninth of the whole.
Why could devouring the power of a Demon God cause the Jade Plate of Creation to recover?
This had to be traced back to the origin of the Jade Plate of Creation. It was not a naturally born supreme treasure, but rather something refined by Pangu after he slew the three thousand Demon Gods, using their Great Dao laws.
Therefore, the Jade Plate of Creation shared the same origin as the Chaos Demon Gods, and by devouring their power, it could slowly restore itself.
"This is an unexpected delight; I have actually found a way to restore the Creation Jade Disk."
Jiang Yuan rejoiced. The Creation Jade Disk was far too important to him—it was the cheat code he relied upon for survival. If he could complete it, he would naturally be overjoyed.
"Since the remnant soul of the Savage Dragon contains the Power of the Chaos Demon God, the remnant souls of the other Ancestors of Fierce Beasts must surely contain it as well."
"In that case, not only can I not stop the process of condensing the Dharma Forms of the Ancestors of Fierce Beasts, but I must also increase my efforts."
Originally, Jiang Yuan had intended to temporarily give up on condensing the Fierce Beast Dharma Forms. After all, the act was far too dangerous, and given his current status, there was truly no need to take such a risk.
However, for the sake of repairing the Creation Jade Disk, this risk was entirely worth taking. One must know that as the Creation Jade Disk recovered, it would also provide feedback and benefits to him, its master; he would not be laboring in vain.
