Chapter 552: Chapter 295: Devouring the World’s Behemoths, Tier 7! The Truth of the World, Entropy Nightmare Blood!
"Seventh Stage..."
A faint radiance flickered within Lu Sheng’s eyes.
Previously, when in the Martial God World, Lu Sheng also attempted the breakthrough to the seventh stage, but the world consciousness of the Martial God World launched a final attack on him at the last moment.
This made Lu Sheng lose the chance to reach the seventh stage in the Martial God World.
Otherwise, Lu Sheng would have reached the mid-seventh stage by now.
However, the world level of the Martial God World was not high, making it difficult to ascend to the seventh stage there.
But things were different in the Beast Realm.
The Beast Realm had once birthed the giant beast ancestors of the seventh stage, so Lu Sheng had a chance to advance to the seventh stage there.
Yet, after Lu Sheng achieved the peak of the sixth stage by devouring the Titan Ape’s bloodline, he found that the bloodline power needed to ascend to the seventh stage was terrifyingly daunting.
"Even if I were to devour all the Giant Beast Kings of the sixth stage consumed by the previous Giant Ape Kingdom again, it might not let me step into the seventh stage from the peak of the sixth."
Lu Sheng, after sensing the distance between himself and the seventh stage, couldn’t help but frown slightly.
"The Beast Realm... nurturing with poison..."
"So... in the same era, can only one giant beast ancestor be born in the Beast Realm? Once this giant beast ancestor leaves the Beast Realm, the Beast Realm begins the nurturing poison mode, cultivating thousands of giant beasts, to eventually cultivate another giant beast ancestor among them!"
"And the price is..."
"The entire Beast Realm reshuffles, using all the giant beasts as nourishment, offered to one giant beast, making it the giant beast ancestor!"
"Such nurturing with poison... what benefit does it bring to the world consciousness of the Beast Realm?"
"And... what relationship does this have with the Entropy Nightmare Bloodline!"
Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, involuntarily looking toward the firmament.
As Lu Sheng’s cultivation level rose, he gradually began to vaguely understand the true nature of this world.
"The Exotic Beast Kings of the Beast Realm’s council had all successfully expelled the Entropy Nightmare Bloodline from within them, so those that became giant beast ancestors before should have expelled the Entropy Nightmare Bloodline as well."
"But why does the world consciousness keep nurturing with poison, constantly cultivating more giant beast ancestors..."
"What is the purpose behind all this?"
Lu Sheng fell into contemplation.
The world consciousness of the Beast Realm must have been affected by Entropy Nightmare, as such a cultivation mode lacked benefits for the world consciousness.
Especially when those who have broken through to the seventh stage, the giant beast ancestors, leave the Beast Realm, it becomes a loss for the world consciousness.
Yet the Beast Realm insists on executing this nurturing with poison mode, prompting Lu Sheng to think deeper.
"More importantly, as I reached the peak of the sixth stage and killed the Titan Ape, I could distinctly feel that the world consciousness of the Beast Realm had surprisingly lowered its hostility towards me."
"Instead... there’s a feeling of acceptance."
"Could it be that the world consciousness of the Beast Realm desires me to enter the seventh stage?"
Lu Sheng’s mind began to operate rapidly, pondering the reasons within.
After thinking for a long time, Lu Sheng couldn’t help but shake his head.
"Perhaps... once I step into the seventh stage, I’ll be able to fully comprehend the true nature of this world."
"Right now, no matter how much I think, without grasping the Beast Realm’s world consciousness, it’s all just speculation!"
"Since you want me to become a seventh stage, the giant beast ancestor... then let me see what you truly intend!"
Lu Sheng calmly spoke to the firmament.
But in the sky above, the dark clouds had dissipated, leaving only clear skies.
It appeared extremely tranquil.
...
The Beast Realm... began to descend into chaos!
After Lu Sheng completely refined the bloodline power of the Titan Ape, he led the Exotic Beast army of the council to replace the existence of the Giant Ape Kingdom.
After successively ruling over the territories of two Exotic Beast forces, Lu Sheng began to invade two other Exotic Beast forces.
After enduring Lu Sheng’s invasion, the other two Exotic Beast forces started to unite, attempting to fend off Lu Sheng’s invasion.
However, in the face of the now peak sixth stage Lu Sheng, the alliance of the two Exotic Beast forces seemed like nothing more than a joke.
They were effortlessly dismantled by Lu Sheng.
Those Giant Beast Kings of the sixth stage became his food, and the bloodline power within them became Lu Sheng’s best Cultivation Resources.
Once Lu Sheng had completely devoured the bloodline power of the sixth stage Giant Beast Kings of the two other Exotic Beast forces, he realized...
He still had quite a distance from reaching the seventh stage.
"Despite having devoured all the sixth stage Giant Beast Kings in the Beast Realm, I didn’t expect there’d still be such a long distance to the seventh stage!"
"It seems... I’ll really have to devour all the giant beasts in the world!"
Lu Sheng spoke, his eyes shimmering with a faint light.
Without hesitation, Lu Sheng directly began to make his move against the fifth-tier Giant Beast King.
Those fifth-tier Giant Beast Kings appeared undeniably weak and feeble before Lu Sheng, having no power to resist his slaughter.
Lu Sheng’s existence once became the most feared source for all the beasts in the Beast Realm.
Only when the beasts of the world were completely consumed by Lu Sheng did this fear fade from the Beast Realm.
Beast Realm, in an expansive world.
Lu Sheng was entrenched here, and the mottled Bloodline Power within him continuously emanated a fierce aura, with the Dragon Transformation Technique fervently operating, refining the Bloodline Power within him.
No one knew how much time had passed; Lu Sheng’s Bloodline Power was gradually refined by him.
When Lu Sheng opened his eyes again, a terrifying aura roared out from his body, accompanied by a mighty surge of energy.
Upon his body, the three flesh bumps suddenly burst at this moment.
Three brand new dragon heads emerged from the flesh bumps.
Roar, roar, roar!!!
All nine dragon heads erupted in a deafening roar, the sound waves echoing throughout the Beast Realm.
Causing all the exotic beasts in the Beast Realm to hear the series of roars.
Under the roars, countless exotic beasts crouched on the ground, howling in submission towards the direction of the sound.
"At last... I’ve crossed into the seventh tier!"
Lu Sheng felt the fluctuation of energy within him, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
"So this is... the feeling of a Behemoth Progenitor?"
Lu Sheng squinted, sensing the Bloodline Power within him.
Lu Sheng could feel that as long as he wanted, the Bloodline Power within him could continue indefinitely, never ceasing.
"So... what exactly does the Beast Realm consciousness want?"
"Using the world’s giant beasts as nutrients to cultivate a Behemoth Progenitor... and then letting the Behemoth Progenitor leave, what does this signify?"
Lu Sheng looked towards the sky, pondering for a moment before stepping out, his figure appearing in the sky.
As Lu Sheng appeared in the sky, space suddenly cracked around him.
A tremendously powerful energy wave, accompanied by pressure, descended upon Lu Sheng.
Even now, Lu Sheng had entered the seventh tier, but when this pressure descended upon him, it still made Lu Sheng’s brows furrow slightly.
Simply because...
This pressure made Lu Sheng feel a formidable threat.
Lu Sheng abruptly looked towards the direction of the pressure, but when he saw the source of the pressure, he was completely stunned.
He saw a drop of crimson blood floating quietly between heaven and earth, filled with endless allure.
And within this drop of crimson blood, there was a familiar energy fluctuation to Lu Sheng.
"This is... Entropy Nightmare Blood!!"
Upon seeing the drop of blood, Lu Sheng’s pupils couldn’t help but contract.
Previously, Lu Sheng had already expelled the Entropy Nightmare Blood from his body, yet now a drop of Entropy Nightmare Blood appeared before him.
"So... this is the truth about this world!"
Lu Sheng spoke in a deep voice, as if he were inquiring about something.
Lu Sheng gazed at the Entropy Nightmare Blood in front of him, slowly reaching out to grasp the drop of blood.
But as Lu Sheng’s skin neared the Entropy Nightmare Blood, a sudden revelation appeared in his mind.
At this moment, Lu Sheng could distinctly feel that within the vast universe, other Entropy Nightmare Bloods were scattered, some with an aura much stronger than Lu Sheng’s own body, while others had an aura similar to his own.
Lu Sheng could even sense that, in the boundless universe, two drops of Entropy Nightmare Blood were extremely close to each other, seemingly causing a conflict, with one of them rapidly weakening.
While the other... was gradually growing stronger.
"Wait... can Entropy Nightmare Blood sense the positions of other Entropy Nightmare Blood?"
"So..."
When such enlightenment appeared in Lu Sheng’s mind, he understood immediately.
"So the truth of this world is... growing a Behemoth Progenitor like in a Gu ritual, the Beast Realm consciousness grants Entropy Nightmare Blood to these Behemoth Progenitors, who then leave the Beast Realm to enhance themselves in the Cosmic Void."
"But at the same time..."
"All Behemoth Progenitors who obtain Entropy Nightmare Blood must become adversaries, forcing them to fight each other, devouring each other’s Entropy Nightmare Blood."
"First, nurturing a Gu in the Beast Realm, then nurturing a Gu with Cosmic Power..."
"What exactly does Entropy Nightmare want!!"
