The Venerable Meets Clover Again

A king among the Chaos ferocious beasts had fallen.

Feng Yue, transformed into the true form of the Spacetime Chaos Tree, sucked it completely dry, reducing it to dust that scattered into the depths of Chaos beneath the sweeping Chaos winds.

"Phew...!"

"Third level of the Hunyuan Wuji Great Luo Dao Venerable. This king of Chaos ferocious beasts wasn't worth much after all!"

Feng Yue curled his lip, then swiftly broke the two Chaos Great Arrays here and retrieved the treasures within.

They were a Chaos Fire Seed and a suit of armor that was a top-grade Chaos spiritual treasure.

"Interesting. There are more and more treasures!"

"There are already so many in just one region of Chaos. If I turned the entire Chaos upside down searching for them, wouldn't that mean... heh heh!"

As Feng Yue spoke, his body unconsciously stepped farther into the depths of Chaos. One step carried him like a streak of light, and he vanished in an instant.

The Hunyuan Wuji Great Luo Dao Venerable realm was already the pinnacle for living beings on the path of seeking the Dao. The very fact that Dao Venerable was a realm showed just how formidable its power was.

Within Chaos, there were increasingly more Chaos Demon Gods and Chaos ferocious beasts. Perhaps the final Chaos tribulation was approaching; every Demon God felt a sense of unease.

As long as one had reached the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal level, even without focusing on cultivation techniques of deduction, one could still comprehend the Great Dao and glean some signs of fate from it.

Many Demon Gods felt anxious. They had come from Chaos, and perhaps one day, they would also depart from Chaos.

The end of all things lay in the near future.

The emergence of Chaos ferocious beasts brought ancient Chaos tribulation qi into being everywhere. The arrival of a tribulation did not merely signify a period in the endless years of Chaos, but more so an unknown calamity.

"Don't miss out as you pass by!"

"This Demon God is holding a grand spiritual treasure auction! One tribulation's worth of mana for one low-grade Chaos spiritual treasure!"

Along the way, a rather wretched-looking figure sat atop a Chaos Stubborn Stone. Seven or eight Chaos spiritual treasures lay before him, shining with purple radiance and glittering brilliantly.

"Hey, Cause-and-Effect Demon God, are you swindling Demon Gods here again?"

"By the way, where did you get all these spiritual treasures? How do you have so many?"

The Earth Demon God flew out from a lump of Chaos Xi Rang, transforming into a massive true form resembling a kui ox before arriving atop the Chaos Stubborn Stone where the Cause-and-Effect Demon God was.

The two Demon Gods were discussing something, perhaps dissatisfied with the price of the Chaos spiritual treasures.

The depths of Chaos held the most Chaos Demon Gods. Almost every several hundred million li, one could find a Demon God. They lived peacefully without fighting or competing, only gathering together when their Dao arts could bring mutual enlightenment. Then they would verify each other's paths toward the Great Dao and cultivate together.

"Chaos Demon Ape, if you keep pestering me, do you believe I'll slap you to death?"

"I don't. Please slap me to death!"

Feng Yue smiled as he entered the deepest reaches of Chaos. Along the way, he saw many Demon Gods cultivating and comprehending the Dao in their own ways, much like the ordinary lives of humans on Earth, each shining in their own place.

Their lives were simple, which was fair enough.

Within this Chaos, Feng Yue had also seen many Demon Gods with human-like physiques. They looked remarkably like humans, yet they always possessed some flaw; they did not have true Dao bodies.

"Water Demon God, can you stop spitting? The Chaos true fire I cultivated with great difficulty has all been extinguished by you!"

A huge figure with flaming hair and a body like a lava giant was so furious that flames erupted from his head. He pounded on a Water Demon God whose entire body was transparent.

Though Fire Demon God was innately restrained by Water Demon God and kept getting pinned down and beaten, neither of them struck to kill. They were merely roughhousing as though they were joking around.

"So Chaos isn't as dangerous as it is in novels after all!"

"The many Demon Gods are actually like all other living beings. They are the native inhabitants of Chaos. Their existence is like Earth and humanity—they simply want to survive, then develop, cultivate the Dao, and pass things down...!"

Feng Yue sighed and continued onward. Just then, he spotted a Demon God covered in foul-smelling dirt, holding a blade of clover and preparing to use it for alchemy.

It seemed to be the Earth Demon God. Its aura was rather powerful.

For Chaos Demon Gods, alchemy, artifact refinement, and array formation were far too simple. They needed no pill cauldrons or artifact cauldrons; they refined things directly in the void through their comprehension of the Dao.

"The lives of Chaos beings are still this miserable!"

Feng Yue was speechless. This truly was the difference between humans and animals.

These Chaos beings were like the flora and fauna of Earth. Compared with beings like Demon Gods, they were indeed a rank lower.

"Wait, this clover looks quite delicate. It resembles that grass I saw before!"

"Senior, save me!" Clover looked in Feng Yue's direction, froze in shock, then cried out excitedly.

"Huh?"

"It's really you?" Feng Yue could not help looking around, making sure the fellow had not called the wrong person.

"Senior, we've met before...!"

Smack! Before Clover could finish speaking, the Earth Demon God slapped him and shouted, "Lowly being, you're about to be refined, yet you still think someone will save you? We Demon Gods share hardship and joy, all from the same lineage. Who would save you?"

"Just wait obediently to be refined into a pill. At least your life as a Chaos being will not have been in vain. You should know that offering yourself to a noble Chaos Demon God is your honor, understand!"

Clover: "...Waaah...!"

Feng Yue: "..."

Feng Yue pretended not to see it. It was not that his compassion had overflowed; a mere blade of grass was not worth personally saving. Otherwise, if a fly had met him once, that would count as a friendship, and he would have to save it whenever it faced danger?

He was not Tang Sanzang, who had to make way for ants even while meditating.

"Pray for your own luck. I gave you a chance, but you were useless!" Feng Yue laughed and scolded, then turned away, ignoring him as he left.

He had already given Clover a protective mark last time, yet he had still been captured. Perhaps that was fate. There was nothing to be done.

Even if Feng Yue saved him this time, he would still die the next time.

Seeing the powerful senior who had once saved him about to leave, Clover panicked.

"Senior, Senior! I know where the Chaos Enlightenment Tree is! It is a spiritual root comparable to a Chaos supreme treasure, and it has yet to take form. If Senior saves me, this little grass is willing to lead Senior there."

Feng Yue's departing steps slowly came to a halt. He turned around unhurriedly and asked, "Something that good exists?"

The moment the words left his mouth, Feng Yue felt a heavy blow strike his chest, knocking him back a hundred meters. Yes, a hundred meters—because the other party was too weak.

"Earth Demon God? You dare attack this Venerable?"

Feng Yue looked at the dirt-covered figure that had risen to its feet and questioned coldly.

He loathed Demon Gods who only knew how to launch sneak attacks.

The Earth Demon God ignored Feng Yue's question. Instead, he quickly pulled Clover out of the refining power of the Great Dao and grasped his roots in one hand.

"Little thing, I never thought you knew of the Chaos Enlightenment Tree. Tell this Demon God at once!"

"If this Demon God obtains the Chaos Enlightenment Tree, I will let you go. I may even protect you for ten thousand yuanhui!"
