Chapter 329: Chapter 197: The Opened Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm

Zhong Yi viewed the Treasure Guarding Dragon Pot as a caretaker.

The Treasure Guarding Dragon Pot placed in Zhong Yi’s Soul Base, in particular, was primarily responsible for protecting his precious Production-type Guardian Beasts.

Thanks to its Exclusive Trait, Dragon Pot Twins, the Treasure Guarding Dragon Pot had split into two separate individuals.

Both of these individuals could produce an Illusion Body.

’If I were to really use an Illusion Body to replace a Creator, the Treasure Guarding Dragon Pot in my Soul Base is undoubtedly better suited for the task.’

’After replacing a Creator, it could take on the tasks of Guardian Beast cultivation and Potion production within my Soul Base.’

’After all, a dead Creator can’t just walk around in the world of the living. That would definitely attract criticism and unwanted attention.’

Zhong Yi’s other Guardian Beast, the Soul Nourishing Gu Mother, had an ability. Through its Exclusive Trait, Insect Soul Nourishment, it could turn a Five-finger Peak Creator into a Six-finger Creator.

’If I catch Cao Xing’an, I’ll first let him experience the ’joy’ of Insect Soul Nourishment before killing him.’

’Once he becomes a Six-finger Creator, then I’ll kill him.’

’By then, I will have a tireless Six-finger Puppet Creator.’

As for the other Treasure Guarding Dragon Pot—the one placed next to the Sunlight Thorn that had chosen the Flame Curtain Crystal Dragon as its Dragon Spirit Gene Model...

...it was far more suitable to use its Illusion Body as a vessel for a Dragon Spirit, to be wielded as a weapon of war.

Having successfully advanced to Platinum Quality, the Treasure Guarding Dragon Pot also possessed an Exclusive Trait called Dragon Soul Fusion.

While cultivating the Treasure Guarding Dragon Pot, Zhong Yi could have it continuously absorb Main Dragon Crystals of the same attribute. This would strengthen the Fire Attribute Dragon Soul that served as the template for its Dragon Spirit.

The Dragon Soul resided within the Dragon Crystal. Through the continuous fusion of Dragon Souls, the Dragon Spirit would enhance its own Bloodline and its ability to control and use Elements with each strengthening.

For any Dragon Species Guardian Beast, the strongest attack was always its Dragon Breath.

The power of a Dragon Breath increased as the Dragon Species Guardian Beast’s Bloodline improved and its mastery over Elements grew stronger.

The Exclusive Trait, Dragon Soul Fusion, greatly enhanced the Dragon Spirit’s combat capabilities.

The only issue was that cultivating the Dragon Spirit required a large amount of Fire Attribute Main Dragon Crystals as nourishment.

Zhong Yi clicked his tongue as he looked at the Dragon Spirit before him, which appeared rather cute in its mimicked state.

’Another one of my Guardian Beasts has turned out to be a resource-hungry Gold-devouring Beast!’

’Fortunately, I have Tao En, a Six-finger Middle Tier Creator. Plus, thanks to the Treasure Guarding Dragon Pot, I’ll have the chance to obtain a Six-finger Creator puppet in the future.’

’So, when it comes to acquiring Fire Attribute Main Dragon Crystals, I’m not worried in the slightest.’

The Central District of Starlight City was far more prosperous than the border between the Upper and Lower City Districts.

Due to urban planning, food stalls weren’t allowed in the Central District, but the streets were still lined with shops.

Since it was difficult to outdo other shops in terms of flavor, most of them competed fiercely over the quality of their ingredients.

The scallions used in the pancake Zhong Yi bought had actually been cultivated to the Extraordinary Tier.

Since Zhong Yi would be sent directly to the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm no matter which First Level Secret Realm he entered...

...he didn’t head to the city outskirts. Instead, he went to the Beastmaster Association in the Central District.

He chose to enter the First Level Newbie Secret Realm, which the Beastmaster Association provided for Guardian Beast Masters who had just awakened their Soul Base.

Inside the Beastmaster Association, Zhong Yi kept a low profile, not revealing his identity as a Celestial Destiny Seeker as he entered the First Level Secret Realm.

The moment Zhong Yi stepped through the entrance to the Secret Realm, a divine-sounding notification rang in his ear.

[You have met the conditions to travel to the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm. Upon entering the First Level Secret Realm, you will be automatically transported to the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm.]

After the notification sounded, Zhong Yi wasn’t even given a chance to decide whether to enter.

He simply appeared in a dense forest!

Before he entered, that divine-sounding notification hadn’t provided any introduction to the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm.

However, Zhong Yi had already gained a crystal-clear understanding of the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm from documents on the Virtual Source Network.

Each time the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm opened, it would randomly match one hundred opponents who met the standard for a First Level Secret Realm from within the same Realm as Zhong Yi’s Guardian Beast World.

All one hundred of these opponents, just like Zhong Yi, were guaranteed to be entering the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm for the first time.

This was because, for any Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realms below Third Level, an individual could only participate in the First and Second Level versions once.

Even if someone was killed immediately upon entering the First Level Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm, they would never get another chance to enter it again.

However, even though all one hundred participants were first-timers, it didn’t necessarily mean they were ignorant about the Slaughter Secret Realm.

Every world had its own unique civilization.

In the Guardian Beast World, for example, the process of a Guardian Beast Master awakening their Soul Base was filled with randomness.

Even the offspring of two Celestial Destiny Seekers weren’t guaranteed to have an Order Beast born in their Soul Base.

This meant that in the Guardian Beast World, heritage had little to do with Bloodline.

Common people had a chance to become powerful figures!

But in other worlds—judging from the sweeping analysis Zhong Yi made based on the two opponents he faced on the Soul Fighting Platform...

...the various races in the vast majority of worlds competed more on Bloodline and their aptitude for different Secret Techniques.

In worlds that relied heavily on Bloodline inheritance, every race was bound to have a deep and long-standing heritage.

’I’m afraid many of the opponents I’m matched with have a Source Material Celestial Shuttle, just like me, and have accessed the Virtual Origin Network.’

This meant his knowledge of the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm couldn’t be considered an advantage.

The environment and size of the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm were random, and everyone was spawned in different locations across the map.

No one would immediately run into an opponent and be thrown into a difficult battle right after entering.

This gave everyone a decent buffer period; it would take at least an hour or so to encounter an opponent.

As the fighting and killing commenced, the number of participants in the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm would dwindle.

After five days of brutal warfare, the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm would begin to collapse from its outer edges, continuously shrinking the available space.

Any creatures caught in the collapsing zone would be treated as killed, lose half of their Divine Origin Value, and be eliminated.

Of course, if a participant managed to acquire thirty Divine Origin Value points, they could choose to quit while they were ahead and voluntarily leave the Secret Realm.

And thirty Divine Origin Value points was the exact requirement to unlock the Divine Origin Store.

This was completely different from his initial assumption that it would only take three or five points to unlock the Divine Origin Store.

For now, without exploring the area, Zhong Yi couldn’t determine his precise location.

But with five days until the space started to collapse, Zhong Yi had no intention of wandering around the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm like a sitting duck.

Even with his Defensive Guardian Beast, the Rejection Crystal Bee, his own body as a Guardian Beast Master was still extremely frail.

Looking at the dense forest before him, Zhong Yi channeled his Soul Power and directly summoned the Endless Wood Demon.

Ever since he formed a Contract with the Endless Wood Demon, Zhong Yi had been actively trying to build a bond with the socially anxious creature.

As a result, the Endless Wood Demon no longer cowered and hid in a tree hollow whenever it saw him.

Instead, it would fly over, blush, and sit on Zhong Yi’s shoulder, fiddling with the dark brown, Wizard Robe-like garment it wore.

The two pairs of translucent wings on its back flapped with a mix of joy and caution.

Zhong Yi gave the Endless Wood Demon a command, telling it to use its Fantasy Combination Skill to assemble a large tree out of wood.

The large tree blended perfectly with the other trees in the dense forest, looking completely natural and harmonious.

The Endless Wood Demon then lifted Zhong Yi, placing him inside the dense canopy.

The entire tree was a construct pieced together by the Endless Wood Demon, and its constructs were extremely deceptive.

Even while hidden in the canopy, it would be difficult for anyone who hadn’t stepped into the area to detect Zhong Yi’s presence with ordinary scouting methods.
