Chapter 1035: 752 Heavenly and Earthly Species_2

With these thirteen fierce beasts at hand, the quantity of Chaos Qi they inhaled and exhaled every day surpassed that of the Nine States. It was no wonder that the Chaos Qi they breathed could transform into treasures like Innate Dao Fruits.

Even at the height of the Witch and Demon two clans, there were not twelve Quasi-Saint level fierce beasts to inhale and exhale Chaos Qi for them.

Of course, it wasn’t that the Witch and Demon two clans lacked the strength, but that back then, nobody had thought to use fierce beasts in such a way.

Before Jiang Chen appeared, the cultivation civilization of the Chaos World had been on a decline since the Ancient Era. However, after Jiang Chen’s appearance, the situation immediately changed, and the cultivation civilization of the Chaos World began to take great strides forward.

First, the art of formation was innovated upon and reached an extremely high realm, and even the path of Divine Abilities was redefined by Jiang Chen.

If those fallen powerhouses were to resurrect and confront the powerhouses of this era, they would likely not be able to defeat the contemporary powerhouses without familiarizing themselves with the current state of Heaven and Earth, before they could rise again.

The times had changed, and the path of Divine Abilities had already been redefined by Jiang Chen. Now, Divine Abilities were far more powerful than they were in the past.

The old laws are no match for the new!

This was Jiang Chen’s greatest contribution.

"Thirteen stronger dragon veins, the fierce beast clan, shall be key to the rise of my Human Race."

Seeing all thirteen fierce beasts transformed into formations and the benefits this brought to the Human Race, Jiang Chen suddenly took interest in the fierce beast clan, feeling that if he captured all the fierce beasts of the Chaos World and turned them into formations incorporated into the Nine States, it might make the Nine States a top-level Holy Land like the Kunlun Mountains.

Unfortunately, such a thing could only be pondered but not acted upon. The fierce beast clan could not be exterminated because the Heavenly Dao would not allow it.

For the shaping of the Chaos World, the Chaos Gods had made indelible contributions, so although the Heavenly Dao did not favor fierce beasts, it would not allow the descendants of the Chaos Gods to disappear from between Heaven and Earth.

If not for the regard of the Heavenly Dao, any Saint could easily exterminate the fierce beast clan of today.

"It’s not that fierce beasts can’t be exterminated. They hide in their lairs and don’t move, and no one dares to commit a thorough slaughter. But if they actively come out and wreak havoc in the Chaos World, even the Heavenly Dao would not spare them."

"If one day I rebuild the Chaos World, the fierce beast clan will definitely come out to stop it. Then, I can plot accordingly."

Jiang Chen knew that the fierce beasts protected by the Heavenly Dao were those that had not committed evils. If fierce beasts caused chaos in Heaven and Earth, they would immediately lose the protection of the Heavenly Dao. At that time, killing them would not only be without sin, but it would also bring Merit.

Rebuilding the Chaos World would indeed be beneficial for all living beings of Heaven and Earth, but for the fierce beasts, it would be an exceedingly bad thing. They would rather see the Chaos World instantly destroyed than sit by and watch it rise again.

Therefore, if Jiang Chen were to rebuild the Chaos World, the fierce beast clan would inevitably come out of their nests to stop him at all costs. In this battle, which would decide their respective standings, the fierce beast clan could not retreat; they would fight to the death.

...

......

"The bones of these Heavenly and Earthly Species are quite tough, choosing death over submission, but no matter. Their use is almost the same as that of the fierce beasts."

On the way, recalling the encounter with the Heavenly and Earthly Species he had just met, Jiang Chen shook his head helplessly.

Among the powerful beings sealed by King Yu, of course, not only were there fierce beasts, but also many Heavenly and Earthly Species.

Heavenly and Earthly Species, a type of creature no less noble and powerful than Innate Divine Demons and fierce beasts.

Initially, during the earliest era, the creatures of Honghuang were generally divided into three types. The first type was the Innate Saints nurtured by the Heavenly Earthly Origin. The second type was the Innate Ferocious Beasts spawned from the origin of the Chaos Gods. The third type was the Heavenly and Earthly Species.

Why were they called species?

Because they were born from the combination of the blood essence of Chaos Gods and the Heavenly Earthly Origin!

Not all of the Origins of the Chaos Gods transformed into fierce beasts; some mingled with the Heavenly Earthly Origin, giving birth to various extraordinary living beings. Like the Mystic Turtle that held up the sky, the giants who roamed Heaven and Earth, and the four great spirit monkeys — these were the Heavenly and Earthly Species.

Since they were touched by the Heavenly Earthly Origin, they were not tainted by the resentment of the Chaos Gods, becoming ferocious beasts that only knew slaughter. They possessed extremely high intelligence, hardly different from Innate Divine Demons.

Their strength varied greatly, mighty ones like the North Sea Mystic Turtle, who even the first generation Fierce Beasts could not rival.

As for the weaker ones, although they lacked the abilities of Fierce Beasts, they possessed all manner of inconceivable powers.

Take Mosquito Daoist, for instance, who could devour the petals of the twelve-petaled Merit Golden Lotus. Or like the Six-Winged Golden Cicada, able to shed its shell and be reborn.

The descendants of Pangu’s god clan and Chaos Demigods were like fire and water, inherently archenemies. These creatures from the Heavenly and Earthly Species, who carried the legacy of both, were naturally viewed as alien by both sides.

To the Innate Saints, they were alien. To the first generation Fierce Beasts, they too were alien. Hence, they were known as a distinct species.

This was the origin of the term for these Wilderness species.

The only reason they were not eradicated by the Innate Saints or the first generation Fierce Beasts was because their numbers were few and they fought independently, failing to pose any threat.

The creature from Heavenly and Earthly Species that Jiang Chen had just encountered was a Prehistoric Giant with the cultivation of a Quasi-Saint, towering and immensely strong, on par with the Innate Great Witches of the Witch Clan.

The Giant lineage was renowned in the Prehistoric World for their immense strength. The Demon Clan’s Quasi-Saint Bear King once wrestled with a Prehistoric Giant and ended up defeated.

The Prehistoric Giant that was sealed by King Yu was an enemy because it refused to accept King Yu cleaving the mountain where it dwelled. It had stirred up great floods several times to hinder King Yu’s efforts to control the waters.

Initially, Yinglong, the great general under Emperor Xuanyuan came to assist, but even after battling the Prehistoric Giant for three days and nights, he couldn’t subdue it. In the end, it was only with the combined strength of everyone that King Yu managed to suppress it.

Jiang Chen saw that the giant was humanoid and had not committed any grave offenses. He intended to subdue the giant to fight for the Human Race.

However, to his surprise, the Prehistoric Giant preferred death over subjugation, first cursing King Yu ferociously, then cursing the First Emperor, and finally hurling insults at Jiang Chen himself, infuriating him to the point of turning the Prehistoric Giant into a formation on the spot.

Since the First Emperor had already devoured ninety percent of its life force, the power of the Prehistoric Giant had plummeted to the depths. Facing Jiang Chen’s refinement, it didn’t even have the strength to curse any longer.

"The Heavenly and Earthly Species really detest the Human Race, huh!"

Jiang Chen knew why the Prehistoric Wilderness species did not submit to the Human Race, for they were naturally incompatible with humans.

The Heavenly and Earthly Species inherited the bloodline of the Chaos Demigods and thus, often inhabited hostile environments. The harsher the environment, the more they relished it.

What the Human Race loved most was changing the environment, using human effort to transform the harsh landscapes into places suitable for human habitation.

Under such circumstances, how could the relationship between humans and the Heavenly and Earthly Species be good?

For the Wilderness species, the Human Race was the culprit that destroyed their living environment. They would rather perish together than submit to humans.

"A practitioner of the Demonic Way?"

While considering the Heavenly and Earthly Species, Jiang Chen had already arrived at another sealing point. Here, surging with Sha Qi, the air swirled around a pitch-black skeleton.

This Sha Qi was different from the one found on Fierce Beasts, imbued with an unyielding will.

This was demonic energy!

The skeleton was clearly the remains of a practitioner of the Demonic Way.

"The Demonic Way!"

"How many years has it been since the Prehistoric World has seen such a pure demonic cultivator."

Moving forward silently, Jiang Chen gazed at the black demonic bone before him and couldn’t help feeling emotional.

The Demonic Way, originating from a supreme path not inferior to the Mystic Sect’s Immortal Dao. The difference is that the Immortal Dao primarily harnesses the Qi of Heaven and Earth, whereas the Demonic Way harnesses the Sha Qi found between Heaven and Earth.

Cultivating with Sha Qi is inherently risky, as one false step can lead to corruption of the mind by the Sha Qi, throwing one into a puppet-like existence consumed by slaughter, destroying everything in sight, no different from a Fierce Beast.

Cultivating the Demonic Way can easily result in madness, causing disaster across Heaven and Earth. Therefore, the Demonic Way is frowned upon by Heaven and Earth. Had it not been for this flaw, the emergence of the Demonic Way would have been a cause for great celebration, as it could delay the arrival of the Quantitative Calamity.
