chapter 712 - profound beast horde
the divine race didn't stop searching for liu wuxie, but they couldn't find any clues.
liu wuxie had vanished entirely, weaving through the valley like a shadow. he stayed hidden and never revealed himself, prioritizing his search for the divine race's secrets and information about the ancestral tree.
the divine race was still unaware that the murong clan's prisoners had been rescued. after all, they had completely abandoned that region and had seen no visitors.
three days passed in the blink of an eye. through liu wuxie's relentless search and hunting down several members of the divine race, he finally unraveled the mysteries of the divine fruit. consuming it could strengthen divine force as it was an ethereal force that could only be comprehended.
true divine arts were capable of bringing back the dead, reattaching severed heads, or regenerating lost limbs.
most people might not be able to comprehend a divine art in their lifetime, but the divine fruit could help to open the door to divine arts.
liu wuxie rejoiced at the discovery as it would greatly reduce the time for his future cultivation. most cultivators would spend longer time in seclusion, and the higher their cultivation, the more years they would spend comprehending the profundity of the world. but with the help of the divine fruit, it would save him from much of this painstaking effort.
he sat atop a grand tree and laid down spiritual arrays in the surroundings to ensure the divine race wouldn't detect him. once done, he plucked a divine fruit from the ancestral tree. the fruit was the size of an egg and looked ordinary, with no extraordinary scent.
but what shocked liu wuxie was the divine runes on the divine fruit. the runes represented the divine race, and liu wuxie began to wonder if dao techniques used by humans originated from the divine race.
after all, the origin of the human race's bloodline remained a mystery, but some speculated ties to the witcher clan, the divine race, the demon race, or the dragon clan.
the human race's bloodline was the weakest among all the races in the universe, and its cultivation speed was far inferior to that of the other races. yet, the human race had been dominating the universe for thousands of years.
when liu wuxie took a bite of the divine fruit, sweet nectar flowed from his mouth into his body like a gentle stream, coursing through his meridians before finally settling in the soul sea.
a miraculous scene unfolded next as the heavenly dao book opened up with a divine rune appearing on it. shortly after, the gates hidden in the depths of his soul sea began to tremble with signs of opening up.
legends said that there were ten gates in a person's soul sea, representing the ten directions of the world, but no one knew if they really existed. there were myths that if one could open all ten, they would be able to comprehend the most powerful divine art in the world.
there were many divine arts in the world, such as the yin-yang art that liu wuxie practiced. however, due to the limitation of his cultivation, he couldn't comprehend the profundity of this divine art.
cracking sounds came from the closest gate to the soul sea, and a crack appeared after being nourished by the divine fruit.
when liu wuxie glimpsed through the crack, he felt as though he saw a whole new world before him. a mysterious force descended from the starry skies into his soul sea.
this was an indescribable feeling, and clarity washed over liu wuxie instantly. he had received enlightenment.
"so this is the usage of the divine fruit! if i consume it during a breakthrough, it will increase the chances of success," liu wuxie muttered with a devilish smile. he had only consumed an ordinary divine fruit, not the largest one.
yet, he could feel the significant leaps in his cultivation in a single breath, especially his martial and dao techniques, and even his cultivation began to loosen. he hadn't expected the divine fruit to hold so many benefits.
if he could refine a fruit produced by a divinekin at the pinnacle of the nascent transformation realm, wouldn't that mean he could use it to open the first gate and receive the empowerment of endless divine force? if that were the case, he could cultivate divine arts.
a devilish smile spread across liu wuxie’s face as he felt the tremors. he had no doubt that murong tianze had spent the last three days orchestrating this chaos, luring and gathering so many profound beasts to create the ultimate distraction.
warriors of the divine race began to arm themselves and braced for an impending battle.
on the distant peaks, the scouts of the divine race sounded alarms, notifying their kin in the valley of the approaching threat.
in less than an hour, tens of thousands of profound beasts reached the outskirts of the divine light mountain, and they were still advancing relentlessly.
the tremors they produced even caused the houses and caves to collapse, leaving the terrified divinekin to run out with their offspring. the advancing profound beasts completely destroyed their homes.
this left the divine race enraged as they let out roars, but they could do nothing about it.
"almost there! almost there!" murong tianze muttered through bloodstained lips, his voice a mix of exhaustion and resolve. he was too preoccupied to wipe away the blood as he pressed on, his body bearing the marks of light injuries sustained in battles with the profound beasts over the past few days. despite the pain, he gritted his teeth and pushed forward.
from another direction, more profound beasts surged toward the valley, a tide of chaos descending upon the divine light mountain.
"divine race, i'll ensure you all learn that the murong clan isn't to be trifled with!" murong tianze roared. he had suppressed his anger for two decades and could finally vent it all out today.
liu wuxie also opened the sky devouring divine cauldron, allowing those inside to see the unfolding chaos outside. those in the cauldron still had no idea what was going on, and they only saw the offspring of profound beasts being thrown into the valley by murong tianze and the murong clan.
due to the valley's unique shape, the pass could only block human entry, but the sky was wide open. when murong tianze and the murong clan's experts threw all the captured offspring into the valley, the horde of profound beasts, especially the tenth-grade profound beasts, went berserk.
the tenth-grade profound beasts possessed powerful bloodlines, and it would take centuries to produce a single offspring. so, how could they allow their offspring to fall into the hands of the divine race? some profound beasts could only produce one offspring in their lifetime, and their bloodline would be severed if their offspring died.
without hesitation, the profound beasts surged toward the valley in an unstoppable charge. the sudden assault caught the divine race, who had been on guard, completely off guard. in the first chaotic exchange, many divinekin were sent flying by the overwhelming force of the horde, unable to withstand the sheer ferocity of the attack.
after murong tianze threw the captured profound beasts' offspring into the valley, he swiftly joined the other murong clan experts and fled without any hesitation. they knew the profound beasts would inevitably turn their anger towards them, and their only option was to retreat to safety.
in less than a breath, the valley's gates were left in ruins, trampled by the horde of profound beasts. the clash also killed some of the profound beasts' offspring, who were thrown into the valley. this further sent the profound beasts into madness, charging at every divinekin they saw and killing several of them.
"kill them all!" the divinekin bellowed after feeling challenged. since the profound beasts dared to charge into their home and kill several of their kind, they were determined to kill all the profound beasts.
an epic battle instantly broke out between thousands of divinekin and tens of thousands of profound beasts.
perched atop the grand tree, liu wuxie merely watched the chaos silently.
"divine race, your doom has come!" murong shanhe snarled through his gritted teeth. everyone from the murong clan cheered along with excitement as they laughed at the rising death toll of the divine race.
no one had expected liu wuxie to devise such a cunning strategy. the western barren was filled with profound beasts, and the best way to counter the divine race was to manipulate them.
most importantly, this conflict between the divine race and the profound beasts would forge a blood feud, and if they stayed here, the divine race would face relentless assault from the profound beasts.
