Chapter 479: Chapter 381: Investigating the Secrets of the Moon Battle and Refining the Core Material_2

A hint of excitement colored the face of the Sky Beast, as the fire raged better than he had imagined. With Zhao Ping’s weak demeanor, flaws were bound to appear...

But at the same time as he thought this, a sudden change left a look of astonishment on his face.

He saw the young man’s flames expanding and spreading uncontrollably, transforming from a giant torch into a towering inferno.

The blaze instantly illuminated the entire dump, casting the world in a fiery red glow.

Gazing at the uncontrollable spread of fire, the Sky Beast’s mind was filled with confusion. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation; he had no idea what was happening.

And soon... something even more unexpected happened.

Faint traces of golden light began to shine through the blazing fire, casting the ground in a layer of gold.

"This... this is..."

The Sky Beast watched incredulously as the golden light grew more and more intense. He remembered the last time he had seen a similar glow was when he had cultivated his Golden Core.

As the golden brilliance intensified, a rich fragrance wafted through the air, like morning dew or the scent of early spring flowers. Just one whiff made one feel as if soaring, relaxed all over, as if bathed in the warm aura of immortality.

Then, as the flames died down, a ball of golden light emerged, bouncing and dancing within it, like a lively spirit of heaven and earth, radiating vitality.

Looking at these signs, the Sky Beast muttered, "Has the elixir... reached first grade?"

The next moment, that bouncing golden light was gently scooped up by a fair hand, as if catching a fish, and grasped in hand.

Watching the young man holding the Golden Core, the Sky Beast was now consumed with fear.

He, as an Alchemist who had mastered the three transmissions, was all too clear about what a terrifying event had just taken place.

"I ignited him with the intent of tapping into the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit in his body, using the process of Alchemy to burn the opponent to ashes..."

"Under normal circumstances, it should be so, but this person... this person..."

The Sky Beast thought in panic, "The essence, qi, and spirit in his body were so potent that they were enough to complete a Golden Core, and he looks completely unharmed."

"Just a portion of his rich essence, qi, and spirit is enough to form a first-grade elixir..."

"Damn it... I spent a full year hammering away, constantly gathering elixir materials, and only managed to produce a third-grade elixir!!"

At this moment, the young man in the eyes of the Sky Beast was no longer human, but a monstrous entity with inconceivable depths of foundation, a presence with essence, qi, and spirit so formidable it surpassed the limits of his imagination.

Meanwhile, Lin Xing glanced at the Golden Core pulsing in his hand and swallowed it in one gulp.

The power of the Golden Core dispersed instantly into his limbs and veins, yet it was like a drop of water in the ocean, failing to stir any waves in his formidable body.

However, the Dust Gu that lived in his blood grew excited, voraciously devouring the medicinal properties of the Golden Core in his veins, and seemed to gain an additional layer of mystery after metabolizing the medicine.

"Not bad for a snack."

Lin Xing smiled as he looked toward the Sky Beast, his feet seemingly treading on invisible stairs as he walked step by step towards his opponent.

"Sky Beast, do you know?"

"I really appreciate you because your heart contains true evil."

"There’s neither anger nor resentment in your heart; all your actions come from your belief that the strong should trample the weak mercilessly, and mortals should be as insignificant as ants."

As Lin Xing approached step by step, feeling the increasingly terrifying pressure emanating from him, the Sky Beast, like a wild beast encountering its natural predator, bent its spine and sank lower and lower.

By the time Lin Xing stood before him, the Sky Beast had fallen to his knees, expressing his attitude—subjugation!

Absolute subjugation!

When the weak confront the strong, they should utterly submit, which was both the Sky Beast’s attitude towards the weaker and his instinct when facing someone stronger.

Once born into the slums, he too had thought of rebelling against the local thug boss who bullied him.

But the strong are strong, and the weak are weak.

He, without even one transmission mastered, struggled in vain and was no match for his opponent, who stripped him and left him naked in the street to the laughter of countless passersby.

At that moment, lying naked in the mud, the Sky Beast understood that the more the weak struggled, the more humiliation and trampling they invited.

So he came to recognize a truth: the dichotomy of strong and weak was the ultimate law of this world. The weak submit to the strong and the strong trample on the weak; anyone who tries to defy this rule will only suffer.

He submitted to that thug boss, offering most of his wealth, fighting on the front lines for him, gradually becoming his trusted confidant, and receiving transmission of his teachings.

And when he surpassed him in strength, he killed his entire family, sold his offspring, and gained even more wealth.

"I treated you like a brother; why did you do this?"

"Because the strong can dispose of the weak at whim, take everything from you, and trample you completely underfoot—just as I am doing to you now."

"You are clearly weaker than I, yet you do not submit to me and still want me to obey your orders?"

"This is your path to doom, because you’ve violated the rules of this world."
