Chapter 1068: Fierce Beasts 770

Although Jiang Chen possessed the Primordial Eye, he seldom used it, not because he was unwilling, but because he couldn’t. After all, his own realm was still too low, merely at the level of complete Innate Dao Sovereign.

However, the Primordial Eye was a power of the Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial level, and each use was an immense burden for Jiang Chen. Using it multiple times in a short period could even consume his original source.

Therefore, Jiang Chen was reluctant to use his original source too often.

But at this moment, Jiang Chen couldn’t care so much anymore. In order to clearly see the situation deep within Changyang Mountain, he had to use the Primordial Eye again.

And with this time, the number of times Jiang Chen had used the Primordial Eye in the span of several days had reached three or four, and his body began to suffer from the strain, exhibiting injuries.

Shua~~

Jiang Chen’s left eye was glowing, the power of Primordial surging forth as he looked towards the depths of Changyang Mountain. And just as his left eye gleamed, his original source began to burn as well.

This was the price of using the Primordial Eye multiple times in a short period; what was consumed was no longer his spiritual energy, but his original source.

"Fierce Beasts, twelve terrifyingly powerful Fierce Beasts..."

"No, not Fierce Beasts, they’re the Twelve Ancestral Witches, no, that’s not right either, they’re Fierce Beasts, not Ancestral Witches, at least they look very much like Fierce Beasts..."

A moment later, Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze with a pale face. It was not the sight that had frightened him, but the consequence of consuming his original source.

The original source was the very foundation of his being, extremely difficult to replenish. Every bit lost resulted in an equivalent decline in strength, greatly affecting oneself.

Fortunately, within Jiang Chen’s body lay the legendary Chaos Green Lotus. Sensing the damage to his original source, it immediately began to operate, spawning strands of Chaos Origin to replenish Jiang Chen’s consumption.

However, at this moment, Jiang Chen could no longer bother with the changes in his body, as his face was filled with confusion, confounded by what he had just seen.

Just now, through his Primordial Eye, he had penetrated the layers of mist, aiming straight for the core of Sha Qi, and he had seen the true situation inside.

He did not see the Great Witch Xing Tian sealed within, but instead he saw twelve bizarre entities, resembling the Twelve Ancestral Witches and also like twelve Fierce Beasts, each one enormously powerful, with cultivation not less than that of a Quasi-Saint.

To say they were like the Twelve Ancestral Witches was because their appearance was indistinguishable from the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and their aura was indeed reminiscent of that of the Ancestral Witches.

To say they were like twelve Fierce Beasts was because, although they bore the appearance of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the aura they emitted was extremely violent and brutal, and they seemed devoid of reason, indistinguishable from Fierce Beasts.

"Fierce Beasts similar to the Twelve Ancestral Witches..."

"Good heavens, Mother Earth probably overplayed her hand..."

After pondering for a while, Jiang Chen’s foreboding feeling grew stronger. He thought of a possibility, a very ominous possibility.

It’s possible Mother Earth intended to use the Sha Qi within Changyang Mountain as a vessel to revive the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Although he did not know the inspiration behind her actions, Jiang Chen was aware of the consequences if her plan failed.

If Mother Earth’s plan succeeded, then without question, it would mean the return of the Twelve Ancestral Witches against the natural order. However, if it failed, that would spell trouble, as the twelve fully-formed monsters would immediately be born with the veneer of Fierce Beasts, bringing disaster to the Prehistoric World.

One must understand, these twelve monsters were not simple at all; they were formed by the God-killing Array gathering a Quantitative Calamity’s worth of Sha Qi, which had been tainted with the essence of the Twelve Ancestral Witches during the process.

This meant, should these twelve monsters truly become Fierce Beasts, their cultivation wouldn’t reach the level of Great Divine Transcendents, but they would at least be as powerful as Quasi-Saints at Great Perfection level.

What’s more crucial is that having been imbued with the aura of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, upon their birth, they would likely possess abilities similar to those of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

No, not likely, but for certain, as when they had attacked Jiang Chen earlier, they had already displayed methods akin to those of the Ancestral Witches.

This meant that once these twelve Fierce Beasts were born, they would be equivalent to twelve Ancestral Witches devoid of reason. The mere thought of such a scenario was terrifying.

Of course, times had changed. In the Ancient Era, twelve Quasi-Saints at Great Perfection could dominate Heaven and Earth, but now they couldn’t. Any Saint could easily subdue them with a mere gesture or, to put it another way, if twelve Great Divine Transcendents appeared, they could easily suppress them.

But things couldn’t be calculated so simply, what if the twelve Fierce Beasts inherited the Twelve Dutian God-killing Array?

Back then, the Twelve Ancestral Witches at the peak of their Quasi-Saint phase could stand against the Saints with the Twelve Dutian God-killing Array. These twelve Fierce Beasts might be inferior to the Twelve Ancestral Witches, but with their Quasi-Saint Great Perfection cultivation, setting up the Twelve Dutian God-killing Array, they could absolutely contend against a Saint.

Fierce Beasts of the Primordial level are just the thought alone tells you how terrifying they would be, a catastrophic blow to the present-day Three Realms.

"Mother Earth is compassionate, and she might not carry out such a plan. With her strength, if she wanted to revive the Twelve Ancestral Witches by threatening the safety of Heaven and Earth, why would she need to go through so much trouble."

"By initiating a great calamity, causing Heaven and Earth to fracture and living beings to perish, she could gather enough blood of all living beings to resurrect the Twelve Ancestral Witches."

After thinking it over, Jiang Chen felt that the formation of these twelve monsters might not have been Mother Earth’s intention, and it was likely an accidental confluence of various coincidences.

After all, with so much Sha Qi accumulated together, and with the Twelve Dutian God-killing Array nearby, it was normal for problems to occur.
