Chapter 310: Divine Beast Cub
Zhou Donghuang was actually unaware that his appearance in the Hengliu galaxy in this life had caused many other peoples’ lives and fates to change drastically.
Not only did his presence affect those around him, including the people of the Autumn Valley, the Lightning Sword Sect, as well as several mbers of the Qi Dynasty, but these people now had a completely new direction in life.
All their fates were changing simultaneously.
Zhou Donghuang had traveled back 1000 years, after all. Like a butterfly, he had flown into a ti period that had had its own course and direction. Although he was weak, from the ti he was young until now, he had still managed to cause quite a bit of change in this ti period and in this dinsion.
Truth be told, ten years ago, such changes had started on the Ziyun planet.
Many peoples’ fates had already been intertwined with his, and thus, as he went through changes in his life, others followed suit and began to experience changes as well.
“As far as I can rember... In my past life, the divine beast cub that was accidentally killed in the war between several galaxies and planets that were fighting for it had appeared where I am now. I need to go and find it before this war happens.”
After leaving the Tielao planet of the Hengliu galaxy, Zhou Donghuang did not directly head for his intended destination, which was where he was now, the Yetang planet of the Xuanting galaxy.
He had first randomly selected a destination and was sent to a random planet in another galaxy before arriving here.
This ti, he was headed here for one reason alone: the divine beast cub!
The divine beast was actually one type of beast, but it had one of the most esteed bloodlines of all the beasts. According to folklore and rumors, its mories could be inherited and passed down to future generations. This ant that given enough ti, the divine beasts would eventually be able to evolve into divine creatures and enter the Divine Realm.
In its realm, the divine beast was the most powerful, and no others were a match for them.
It was also rumored that in the past, there were legendary humans who managed to fight divine beasts. However, now, this was impossible.
In his past life, Zhou Donghuang did not know the difference between ancient human adepts and the current, more modern human adepts. However, he was aware of this difference now after he had t Liu Pingsheng. The people of the past had trained using ancient thods, such as the Lord of Four Supres, which was an ancient thod that he now used.
“With the Lord of Four Supres, I should still be able to fight with divine beasts in my realm.”
This ti, Zhou Donghuang had traveled to the Yetang planet to find a divine beast cub.
In his past life, he had also similarly participated in a fight over a divine beast cub.
Of course, at that ti, he was more of a bystander watching the fight rather than participating in it.
This was because he was not strong enough at that ti, and he was no match for the other powerful humans. He could only watch the fight with other non-affiliated practitioners, and he personally witnessed how great powers fought over the divine beast cub and accidentally killed it in the process.
“That divine beast cub looks like a dog, and it doesn’t seem too impressive... In fact, compared to the typical dogs on Earth, it looks quite similar to rural Chinese dogs. The only difference is that it has a horn on its head, which normal Earth dogs clearly do not have.”
Of course, previously, although Zhou Donghuang had been standing a distance away from the fight, he had still clearly seen the features of the divine beast cub.
It was a dog with a single horn on its head, and it was completely black with a pair of bloodshot eyes.
As great powers were fighting over it, it had tried to escape, but instead, it was mistakenly shot to death.
The people who had accidentally shot it to death was unsurprisingly a group of angry powers who were out to kill eachother over the divine beast cub.
“This was where the fight over the divine beast cub had happened.”
Now, Zhou Donghuang floated in the air above an expansive forest. This was a forest of beasts, and many beasts resided here. In his past life, he had visited this forest once, and now he had used that past mory to navigate himself back here.
“I have to do so exploring within.”
The Yetang planet was a planet that had about the sa amount of Spirit energy as the Tielao planet, which was where the Lightning Sword Sect was. Within the Xuanting galaxy, the Yetang planet was considered one of the less developed planets. In the past, it was only able to attract several powers to co forth due to the leaked news of a divine beast cub’s presence.
The birth of a divine beast caused much chaos in the galaxy, and this auspicious event would last for many days.
Once the news had spread, the powers of each major galaxy all imdiately rushed to the Yetang planet through their own galaxy teleporters. They all had only one goal in their minds—obtain this divine beast cub.
This ti, Zhou Donghuang intended to find the divine beast cub before it recalled its inherited mories and was officially birthed. After that, he wanted to bring the cub to an empty and isolated place just as it started recalling its inherited mories so that it would not startle anyone else.
If not, the events of the past would repeat themselves, and the beast cub would be dood to die again.
“Before the divine beast truly recalls its inherited mories, it is almost the sa as any ordinary beast... However, normally, since this is the place where it should by right inherit the past mories, it should be residing here right now. After all, before the divine beast can inherit past mories, it is at the Connate stage.”
Once beasts entered the Primal Core stage, they would be able to access their inherited mories.
At that point, carps would beco dragons, and wild chickens would beco magnificent phoenixes; the inherited mories made a world of difference!
Before that point, even divine beasts themselves would perhaps assu that they were only ordinary beasts.
Now, what Zhou Donghuang wanted to do was find this divine beast cub even before it had inherited its past mories... Afterwards, using whatever thod that was at his disposal, be it gentle or forceful, he had to bring this cub away.
It would be a huge help to him in the future if he had a divine beast by his side, and a divine beast which had not yet recalled its inherited mories at that!
Furthermore, if the divine beast were to grow up, it could definitely fight an entire sect or tribe without much trouble.
“The strongest beasts in this forest are most likely only at the Primordial Soul stage.”
He was not afraid of beasts at the Primordial Soul stage with his current level of power.
Whoosh!
Within an instant, Zhou Donghuang’s body entered the forest of beasts below him, and he followed the path within to the center.
At the start, he t with so resistance as so beasts tried to attack him.
Of course, those beasts all died by his hands, and not a single one managed to survive.
The closer he got to the center of the forest, the stronger the beasts beca. Eventually, the beasts stopped blocking Zhou Donghuang’s path. It was clear that the power he had shown by killing the previous beasts scared those who were lying in hiding.
For beasts, as long as they did not co from the Guiyao planet and as long as they could enter the Connate stage, most of them would have intelligence.
For those who managed to enter the Primal Core stage, they would be able to speak.
Those at the Dharma stage would be able to morph into a human form but would still have so traces of being a beast left on them. This ant that others could easily tell that it was a beast in human form and not a true human.
Once a beast has entered the Primordial Soul stage, it can perfectly morph into a human without any identifying features affecting its disguise.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
As Zhou Donghuang neared the center of the forest, on the path that he was on, where there was little disruption, two figures appeared before him and blocked his path.
These two figures seed to look human.
However, although they looked human, their brains and four limbs were not fully free of beast-like features. They were clearly not 100% human. If they had appeared on Earth, they would definitely be seen as monsters.
Clearly, these were two Dharma beasts.
“Human, leave this place now. It is not a place where you should set foot in.”
One of the Dharma beasts had an eagle head, and although his two arms resembled human arms, they were conjoined to the rest of his body. He even had so scars that hinted at him having eagle wings before. This was clearly an eagle beast at the Dharma stage, and at this point, it was staring beadily at Zhou Donghuang.
“I haven’t t such reckless beasts who dare to confront in a while,” Zhou Donghuang replied casually as he glanced at the two beasts before him.
Along his journey in this forest, other than the few attacks he had originally fended off, he was left alone by the rest of the beasts. Although these beasts had noticed him, they had all sensed the danger emitting off him and did not dare to provoke him.
Of course, this was partially because Zhou Donghuang had revealed so Divine Knowledge along the way.
The strength of his Divine Knowledge had conditioned the beasts to stay away from him.
Seeing as he was almost nearing the deepest part of the forest, Zhou Donghuang had retracted his Divine Knowledge with the intention of resting slightly before furthering his journey.
However, he had not expected that after retracting his Divine Knowledge, beasts would appear to stop him.
“Human, do not compare us to those weaklings you t earlier on!”
The other Dharma beast had the face of a leopard. Like the first beast, he had human arms, but these arms were covered with leopard fur. He had claws as well, which also revealed his identity as a leopard beast.
“Is that so?”
Zhou Donghuang’s eyes narrowed into slits. Without any warning, he raised his palms, and in an instant, his essential core ford a giant palm that ca sweeping down. It hit the leopard beast straight into the ground, and its body was completely buried.
“Wah...”
Zhou Donghuang did not have the intention to kill it, only to deliver heavy injuries to the leopard beast. When the leopard beast glanced up at Zhou Donghuang, his face was dripping with blood, and its eyes were filled with extre fear. His voice shook slightly as he spoke, “You... you’re a Primordial Soul adept!?”
Whoosh!
...
Zhou Donghuang’s attack caused a violent gust of wind to appear as if the wind was howling away. The eagle beast saw the attack, which highlighted Zhou Donghuang’s Primordial Soul power, and its two limbs buckled. He flew up like an arrow, clearly planning to take to the skies and escape.
However, just as it had flown up and before it could fly out of the forest, Zhou Donghuang’s giant palm, which had been ford by essential core, grabbed hold of it.
“Lord, have rcy, please have rcy!”
The eagle beast’s beady eyes were full of fear, and he begged Zhou Donghuang repeatedly. “We were not smart enough to sense that you were actually a Primordial Soul adept. We did not know our place! Please spare our lives on account of our ignorance!”
“Have rcy! Have rcy!”
As if he had been inspired by the eagle beast’s begging, the leopard beast also looked at Zhou Donghuang with a helpless expression and began begging as well.
“Hmph!” Zhou Donghuang scoffed lightly. “If I truly wanted to kill you, would I have let you live until now?”
He was not an indiscriminate killer, whether it be towards humans or intelligent beasts.
Along his journey, he would not kill intelligent beasts unless they tried to attack him first. Even then, he would rely teach them a violent lesson.
As for the two Dharma beasts before him, since they had not attacked and him and had rely tried to block his path, he thus had no intention of killing them.
