“Old Black, rest in peace. When the time comes, I’ll help you take care of Fairy Yak. Go! Have a safe journey!” Ouyang Feng’s words were not what one should say, but he was in an extremely jovial mood.

He knew that big black yak hadn’t completely died. Maybe the spiritual willpower that had left his body could return from the grave and he could still live on.

At this moment, Yellow Ox’s withered body emitted a faint light, too, and his spirit greatly rose. Big black yak could still scold people and shout so rudely which illustrated that the situation wasn’t utterly disastrous.

However, Ouyang Feng and his current situation weren’t that great, either. They were on the verge of trailing in big black yak’s footsteps as they were all skin and bones, too.

All of the golden fur covering his body had almost dropped off, and it was a tragic sight to set eyes on. His large eyes that were originally like gems had long since dimmed and was lifeless; he couldn’t even stand anymore.

Ouyang Feng was actually very tragic, too. The golden stripes on his face had lost all of its radiance, and it was just like stripe after stripe of birthmarks that were wrinkled, too. After he spat at big black yak, he didn’t have any vigor left.

“Could it be that I, the great Ouyang, am going to die here? Heaven is unfair. I haven’t fully grown yet! I still have life dreams that I haven’t fulfilled. I haven’t become the divine king. Most importantly, I’m the same as that virgin ox—I don’t have my Dao partner yet! Your Grandfather Divine King Ouyang is uncontented!” shouted Ouyang Feng.

Unfortunately, big black yak’s body fell over there. If he could move, he would definitely want to kick his hind legs back and stand up. His old face would be as black as the bottom of a pan. Even so, he couldn’t stop himself from cursing out from within the cauldron.

“Toad Child Ouyang, try and say another sentence if you have the balls to. This Old Yak won’t kick you to death!”

“Elder Brother Virgin Ox, wait for me. The Great Ouyang can’t hold on any longer, either. I’ll journey with you on the road to the underworld and we’ll slaughter the king of hell together. We’ll struggle for power in the netherworld and overthrow the King of Hell’s Palace. From then on, we’ll become the masters of the netherworld!” Ouyang Feng cried out.

“Shut up. We’re in the netherworld now. There’s no world of the living. If you were to die, all things would come to an end. Stand your ground!” said Yellow Ox.

However, just as he finished speaking, Ouyang Feng’s legs buckled. His eyes turned over in their sockets, and he flipped backward, falling straight down. He didn’t move an inch anymore as his eyes completely dimmed until no light shone in them anymore.

“Oh virgin toad, your death is such a tragic one...” big black yak’s spiritual willpower cried out loudly from within the cauldron.

Yellow Ox struggled and carried out the final blood sacrifice. But in the end, he couldn’t hold out any longer, either. He soundlessly collapsed, and his body gradually grew cold.

This place was silent. Only big black yak’s consciousness occasionally blurted out a few sentences weakly, filled with unresignment and helplessness.

Outside Earth, in outer space.

In Dark Blade Imperial Court’s war bastion, that saint whose body was hidden within black robes gloomily and coldly said, “Natives on Earth, you really disappointed me. You’ve only gradually recovered after so many years have passed. A decent evolver hasn’t even appeared amongst you now—you’re all still low-ranked barbarians who aren’t that much stronger than beasts who are amply unruly. Earth is still inferior to a wild planet. At the very least, one or two powerful barbaric gods would be born there. Does any native dare to come up here and exchange a few blows with my disciples?”

The response he got was the curses from a pack of great demons from Mount Eternal as they immediately abused him roundly from the Origin Beast Platform.

“You old wooden clapper! What are you being cocky for, motherf*cker!? Chu Feng exterminated your subdivision on Earth alone, yet you have the face to bring up your offsprings? You old goods, come down if you have the balls to! Yee-haw, yee-haw! Your Grandfather Donkey will kick you to death with a single hoof of mine!”

“Old goods, come down if you have the balls to! Your Grandfather Tiger will assure you, I’ll eat you and turn you into a lump of dung. I’ll gloriously spray you over the famous mountains and great rivers to nourish the mutant trees.”

A pack of great demons from Mount Eternal started a battle of curses—the tips of thorns amongst the sharpest thorns. It was truly an all or nothing situation.

The main point was that they were horribly angry. The life or death of Chu Feng, Yellow Ox, big black yak, and the others were not on the cards, yet this group of despicable assassins were still so shameless and were humiliating them.

They naturally wouldn’t be courteous. If they couldn’t defeat the assassins, then the assassins had best be prepared... to be cursed to the death!

After that, the Origin Beast Platform was bustling with noise. This group of great demons had logged in one after the other, attracting an innumerable audience. They had started cursing since the beginning of Earth’s dawn until the sun had risen very high in the air.

The dark saint cursed out.

He too was speechless. He had initially wanted to make a few employers relax and say a few words that were pleasing to the ears, but in the end, all he did was poke a hornet’s nest.

“Attack!”

The dark saint lightly shouted and commanded those in Earth’s outer space to find any suspicious targets, thereby unleashing a massacre to vent their discontentment.

Jiangning, Mount Zhijin.

On the border of a small world in the depths of the underground, Chu Feng had an ashen face. He was itching to attack the outer realm and exterminate all of them immediately.

“Once the matter here is done, I’ll take a walk around Dameng Pure Land and dream about a hundred years in a single night. I want to increase my combat strength as quickly as possible. It won’t be too until I personally exterminate all of you!”

At this moment, a faint thumping sound came from within that ancient coffin in the depths of the small world. The mother-of-all-gold divine chain was about to break apart.

To count the time, it wasn’t that far away from that half a day—it was soon to arrive.

Eastern Sea, the depths of Mount Eternal.

An unknown amount of time had passed. The stone forest that was originally silent now had primal chaotic mist swirling around it as voices could be heard from within the three-legged demonic cauldron.

“Virgin Ox, Old Black, am I going to step onto the path to hell? Ouch! Old Black, you dare to hit the Great Ouyang?”

“Little Lamb Toad, I can’t beat you to death!” shouted big black yak.

After that, sounds of banging incessantly rang out from within the cauldron and a surge of intense shaking ensued.

“Don’t fight anymore. What state are we in? Are we ghosts or have we yet to die?” asked Yellow Ox.

At this moment, they gazed at each other. Primal chaotic qi rose within the large cauldron. The three of them still had their spiritual willpower, but their figures were weak and dim as they were steaming.

However, the liquid in this cauldron was a little special and it didn’t resemble an ordinary substance because it had an effect on their divine souls.

Splash, splash...

After which, the liquid inside the large cauldron boiled. The trio started wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves. They were somewhat unable to endure it anymore because it was too painful. They felt as though their spirits were about to be boiled thoroughly.

“This is the eighteenth level of hell! Are we being put into a deep fryer? This is too unfair! The great Ouyang should be going to God’s Kingdom! How can I be experiencing this kind of cruelty!?” the toad miserably shrieked.

After that, Ouyang started learning how to howl like a wolf. “Aowoo, aowoo, aowoo...”

He really couldn’t endure the pain any longer and was leaping and scuttling about in the large cauldron. Unfortunately, he couldn’t escape because a mysterious force was confining him within the cauldron and locking him down securely.

“I can’t stand it anymore! I’m about to be well-cooked!”

Big black yak was crying out, too. They weren’t like this before. After the three of them had recovered, the liquid in this large cauldron boiled to the point where their souls couldn’t endure it anymore.

“Old yak, I smell steak that’s been cooked for five minutes. That’s just right, so fragrant and so tender. Come, let the great Ouyang have a bite. Dang it! Old Yak, you dare to shove your hoof into my mouth!? The Great Ouyang is going to fight you!”

“Moo!” big black yak cried out.

Yellow Ox felt as though his head was going to explode as he held it in his hands. Only these two could still pick a fight with each other during this kind of moment.

In the end, the trio couldn’t stand being in the cauldron any longer. Their bodies wanted to split open, but finally, it expanded without end. They felt acute pain, but coincidentally discovered that their divine souls were growing, condensing and becoming real.

“Huh? What’s going on? Our spiritual willpower is... growing?”

Bang!

In the next moment, a surge of astonishing demonic qi engulfed them and they flew out of the cauldron. After which, they were injected back into their own bodies.

Soon, the trio abruptly sat up but fell back onto the ground immediately. They felt that their divine souls had expanded by a great chunk and was essentially being nourished, vigorously enhancing their natural assets!

But their bodies were very weak. How could they still have life fluctuating in them? They were clearly corpses who couldn’t withstand their powerful spiritual willpower.

In just a split second, their dried up bodies almost fell apart into pieces.

Thankfully, the three-legged demonic cauldron started glowing again. Three streams of blood gushed out from the mouth of the cauldron and poured toward the trio.

That previously belonged to them, but the large cauldron had absorbed their blood and essence. Now, it was actually being returned to them and was being injected into their bodies respectively. In a short while, their dried up bodies rapidly became plump again.

This wasn’t solely blood and essence, it too included vitality and other inexplicable and unexplainable substance!

Soon, Yellow Ox, Ouyang Feng, and big black yak were certain that these blood and essence substance was purer and even more shocking than what they previously possessed. Not only did it have powerful energy, but their blood now had some kind of branded fragment in it.

“Yes, this is the divine beasts’ branded fragment. It’s an inheritance from my race?” Ouyang Feng was shocked. He was a divine beast that had been cursed, and his inheritance wasn’t complete, but now, he felt as though he had obtained an inscrutable twist of fate and received what he ought to have gotten and what belonged to him.

Besides, he felt that his blood was even richer and more powerful than before. It had been purified and refined, making his constitution grow by a chunk.

Yellow Ox’s whole body blossomed with golden light, and the more he radiated, the more translucent and sparkling it got. He also had the branded fragments in his blood, and his blood had turned golden. The more it developed, the more extraordinarily frightening it was; it was the same as a transformation occurring.

But if they were talking about whose transformation was the greatest, that naturally belonged to big black yak.

That was because Yellow Ox and Ouyang Feng were both originally extremely powerful and had evolved to the present realm’s peak stage.

Even if their divine souls had increased in power and their physiques had grown stronger, the relative scope of it all wasn’t especially shocking. But things were different with big black yak. He was howling and mooing without end.

The Immemorial Luxurious Yak gene slumbering within his body had completely activated and replaced the physique he originally had—he was transforming. Other than that, the divine medicine extracted from Innocuous Divine Physique’s body had been injected into his body. At this moment, it was similarly making him undergo some kind of transformation.

In just a short span of time, Old Yak’s strength had explosively swelled. His innate skill and potential were practically in the progress of increasing at a terrifying rank and had grown by a large chunk.

“I feel as though I’ve turned into Innocuous Divine Physique. Really. This isn’t a misperception. At the same time, my ancestor’s gene has resurrected. I’m now... Innocuous Immemorial Luxurious Yak Physique!”

Big black yak was shocked; he couldn’t stop shaking. He simply didn’t dare to believe this. His body incessantly crackled, and in just a moment, he grandly flourished with golden light while in the next, black light swelled explosively before it finally turned into a dark golden color.

However, at the very end, his fur was still a sleek black, but it was far bolder, more powerful and imperious than before.

An unknown time had passed when the trio jumped up at the same time. Not only had they physically recovered, but their strengths had rapidly increased, too. Big black yak’s strength, in particular, could be counted as having explosively swelled by a whole chunk.

In the blink of an eye, they understood that this demonic cauldron was a valuable treasure belonging to the Demon Race. It wasn’t trying to kill them before, but rather it was helping them purify their blood and essence, as well as to refine their divine soul. Finally, it repaid them by making their soul power and physique much more powerful!

Drawing their blood out was to purify it and refine it to make it even stronger and activate the strongest genes in their bodies.

The divine soul was as such, too. They had obtained a few branded fragments, all of which belonged to their race’s inheritance.

“The demon race’s supreme divine land really lives up to its name. No wonder those who dare to say the word cultivating to demonic saints were really doing something like this and had such inside information!” Even Ouyang Feng was convinced.

In a split second, they were simultaneously using a kind of breathing technique that was classified as the demon race’s supreme breathing technique. Divine beasts and others from the demon race could use it as well.

Previously, Yellow Ox and Ouyang Feng hadn’t obtained the complete version, but it was now perfect!

“This is one of the ten great breathing techniques in this cosmos. The demon race energy’s supreme breathing technique can be ranked in the forefront!”

“Yeah, it has parts of the divine beast breathing technique mixed within it!” Ouyang Feng nodded.

Actually, the divine beast breathing technique wasn’t inferior to the top ten. However, the average person couldn’t cultivate it because its various requirements were too demanding and the potential required was too great.

Dnng!

When the trio touched the demonic cauldron again, they immediately sensed that the whole of Mount Eternal was in their grasp. They knew that they had succeeded in their objective from this excursion!

“This three-legged demonic cauldron is actually a deadly weapon. Let’s use it on the outer realm first!” said big black yak.

“Good, kill them!” Ouyang Feng said gustily,
