Fierce Beasts Had Wisdom Too

"These Fierce Beasts really aren't simple. Have they already evolved so many Wisdom individuals?"

Wang Shi murmured to himself.

The emergence of these Wisdom individuals was largely due to Pangu's origin.

Of course, Beast Emperor Shen Ni certainly did not know the reason.

He could not possibly have anticipated that combining the Blood Sea's origin with the Fierce Beasts would activate Pangu origin.

But he could definitely sense the changes in the Fierce Beast Tribe.

The entire Primordial World was now in chaos.

These Fierce Beasts had also gained considerable Wisdom, and would only become harder to deal with.

At this moment, Wuzhuang Temple faced its greatest crisis.

Countless Fierce Beasts had already reached the mountaintop where Wuzhuang Temple stood.

As the temple's disciples died one after another,

the situation grew increasingly dire.

Just then, an icy voice rang out from within the temple.

"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, you should simply strike and wipe out these Fierce Beasts. You're far too cautious."

"Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd, forth!"

With his soft command,

a red treasure gourd appeared. Wind and clouds spread in wave after wave, and every Fierce Beast enveloped by the red clouds silently collapsed, instantly falling still.

High above the heavens, Wang Shi and the Three Pure Ones exchanged glances.

Wasn't this one of the gourds borne by the Innate Gourd Vine?

Hong Yun truly was blessed with tremendous fortune. He had actually obtained this treasure gourd.

"Daoist Hongyun is surrounded by such abundant fortune. It seems he's no ordinary figure!"

"He will surely have a place in the Primordial World's future."

Wang Shi nodded slightly.

This was one of the great driving forces in the Primordial World, a figure whose presence would be felt in many future events.

Legend had it that after Hong Yun perished, his remnant soul became the King Father of the East. Whether that was true remained unknown.

Just as Hong Yun unleashed his tremendous might,

everyone discovered something astonishing.

The number of Fierce Beasts had not diminished; instead, it kept growing.

They converged from every direction, gathering here in a truly immense spectacle.

Gradually, Hong Yun also realized something was wrong. He had already consumed a tenth of his spiritual energy, yet the number of Fierce Beasts had increased rather than decreased. If this continued, he might be drained to death.

"Zhen Yuanzi, help me."

Inside Wuzhuang Temple, Zhen Yuanzi shook his head helplessly.

Holding his fly whisk, he flicked it gently toward Hong Yun.

Soon, a Ginseng Fruit appeared in Hong Yun's hand.

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, eat the Ginseng Fruit first. Let's assess the situation before doing anything else."

He was a rather levelheaded man.

The best course now was to pull back their lines and defend Wuzhuang Temple.

There had to be something wrong with this endless stream of Fierce Beasts.

Finding their source was the key.

Blindly slaughtering Fierce Beasts was meaningless.

The Three Pure Ones and Wang Shi had also identified the crux of the matter.

Wisdom-type Fierce Beasts were not too great a problem. The key was to discover how these Fierce Beasts managed to keep coming without end.

Wang Shi swept his gaze over the surroundings.

Gradually, he noticed something.

Although these Fierce Beasts seemed to come from every direction,

they actually all originated from somewhere to the east.

There were simply too many of them, spread over too wide an area, making it seem as though they had all been drawn to Wuzhuang Temple.

"Masters, the source should be to the east. I'll go take a look."

The Three Pure Ones nodded.

"Be extremely careful. The way these Fierce Beasts have evolved is rather unusual."

The Three Pure Ones remained there to oversee and observe the situation.

Wang Shi slipped eastward.

He traveled east, concealing his movements.

Before long, he reached a gorge.

Almost all the Fierce Beasts in the surrounding area were emerging from this gorge.

This should be the Fierce Beasts' lair.

He quietly slipped inside.

As he ventured deeper, he soon reached an underground cavern within the gorge.

Once he entered, he saw an astonishing sight.

Countless Fierce Beasts were continuously bringing in corpses from all over.

They gathered them here.

They were feeding one enormous Fierce Beast after another.

These Fierce Beasts were like pigs, constantly eating and constantly giving birth. They produced little Fierce Beasts one after another, which were then continuously fed until they grew.

This place had practically become an assembly line, churning out Fierce Beasts without end.

More importantly, the location was extremely well hidden. Ordinary people would never imagine that these Fierce Beasts possessed such Wisdom.

Even Wang Shi now wondered whether a transmigrator had infiltrated the Fierce Beasts. Otherwise, how could they operate with such efficiency?

And caverns like this were scattered throughout the gorge.

Even the dead Fierce Beasts were hauled back and eaten again.

In other words, these creatures' numbers were increasing at a tremendous rate. The more were killed, the more they ate, and the more they produced.

This highly efficient operation ensured that none of their blood baleful qi went to waste.

As time passed and more of these caverns appeared, these Fierce Beasts would soon spread across the entire East Victory Divine Continent.

The mere thought was terrifying.

These creatures kept coming without end, born to slaughter, breeding resentment throughout heaven and earth.

And this resentment and slaughter qi could effectively help Beast Emperor Shen Ni increase his strength.

The Dao of Slaughter was also one form of the Great Dao.

If Beast Emperor Shen Ni truly attained the position of a Great Dao Sage through this,

one could imagine how much danger the entire Primordial World would face.

Having found the source, Wang Shi hesitated no longer and struck directly with all his strength.

"Buzhou true form, become a mountain!"

With his low shout,

Wang Shi's body rapidly expanded countless times over.

Soon, he became incomparably enormous, dwarfing the entire valley.

His gigantic foot stepped forward with an utterly ferocious momentum.

It landed directly on the valley.

Streams of crimson blood flowed out of the valley.

The vast cluster of underground caverns was destroyed in an instant.

Not far away, a Wisdom-type Fierce Beast let out an unimaginably terrifying howl.

He charged at Wang Shi's true form like a madman.

Like a clumsy rabbit, he all but knocked himself unconscious against Wang Shi's foot.

Wang Shi picked up this One-Eyed Giant and regarded him in bewilderment.

"Gone mad?"

He gave him a light shake.

The One-Eyed Giant slowly regained consciousness.

When he saw those eyes, vast as the sun and moon,

he was so frightened that he fainted again.

Looking at the surrounding Fierce Beasts, Wang Shi opened his mouth and sucked in fiercely.

The ground, the forest, and the Fierce Beasts all surged into Wang Shi's mouth.

It was his first time eating dirt, yet he did not find it repulsive.

It actually tasted rather good.

After all, his true form was stone, and this earth was of the same substance.

He swallowed more than half the Fierce Beasts in one mouthful.

Wang Shi still was not satisfied.

With great strides, he approached Wuzhuang Temple.

Then he sucked in fiercely again, and another mass of Fierce Beasts entered his mouth. The sight was utterly savage.

Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi watched, dumbstruck. Where had this ferocious creature come from? He was even fiercer than these Fierce Beasts.

If he reached Wuzhuang Temple, wouldn't he flatten the place in an instant?

Zhen Yuanzi's expression grew grave.

"Please take action, Fellow Daoist Hongyun. We must not let this fellow approach Wuzhuang Temple."

Just then, Wang Shi let out a satisfied belch.

Then he patted his belly, thoroughly content.

A vast cloud of baleful qi spilled from his mouth, enveloping the gorge.

This baleful qi lingered for a long time without dispersing, actually forming a Baleful Qi Forest that became one of the Primordial World's dangerous regions.
