Chapter 545: Royal Chaos Beast

The original Wolf-Headed Yang Demon could no longer be called that—it was now a Chaos Demon Wolf, a type of Chaos Beast.
Seeing Ye Feng force out his vital blood, the Chaos Demon Wolf was initially stunned, seemingly instinctively resisting, yet also sensing that the blood was valuable. After hesitating for a moment, it closed its eyes and allowed the blood to flow into its forehead.
“A roar!” A fierce cry echoed throughout the fifth layer of the Refinement Realm. As soon as the blood entered, its body began to disintegrate.
“Damn it… It seems it can’t withstand the power of my vital blood…” Ye Feng didn’t know what to do.
“Don’t resist. Submit to the power of the blood…” A familiar voice rang out in the Refinement Realm—it was the Voice of Immortality.
“Godfather?” Ye Feng was surprised.
“You little rascal, you always cause me trouble! How could my bloodline merge so easily?” The figure of Immortality slowly appeared in the Refinement Realm. “Fortunately, it’s a Chaos Beast, though a low-tier one formed later on. Otherwise, this vital blood would have been wasted.”
“Uh…” Ye Feng was speechless. He had no idea his vital blood was so powerful. He had never formally signed a contract with a magical beast or demon before; aside from creating clones, he had never used his vital blood, so he naturally didn’t know its effects.
“For our Bloodline of Immortality, signing a contract only requires ordinary bloodline energy—no vital blood is needed,” Immortality explained. “Most creatures in the world can’t withstand the power of our bloodline. Those who can are either extremely powerful beings. To date, I only have three legitimate descendants. Normally, none of you three could withstand my bloodline’s power. It’s only because you’ve gained my approval that you’ve been able to merge with it. But your bloodlines are not yet mature, and you can’t control its power. Using vital blood recklessly will only lead to disaster.”
“I didn’t know…” Ye Feng mumbled softly.
“What did you say?” Immortality glared at him sternly.
“Nothing…” Ye Feng wisely chose to stay silent. For a powerful being like Immortality, there were millions of ways to punish or teach a lesson. Ye Feng certainly didn’t want to find out.

“The stupid kid Cangsheng last time actually thought of using essence blood to refine artifacts. Just thinking about it makes me angry. It almost caused an explosion in the furnace, but luckily I arrived in time to help him complete the refinement.” Immortal’s expression turned somewhat aggressive, if he had a beard.

Although Ye Feng really wanted to ask what grade of item had been created in the end, seeing Immortal’s expression, he wisely chose to stay silent and listen.

“This Chaos Demon Wolf is zwar a postnatal Chaos Beast, but it’s also a mutated variant, so it’s possible it could become a king-class Chaos Beast—though the chances are extremely low.” Immortal then turned to Ye Feng. “In your Void Domain, there’s a special ability called the Supreme Privilege, right? Use it once to see if you can successfully merge the bloodlines. That could save me a lot of effort.”

“Uh…” Ye Feng was speechless at the fact that Immortal knew such private information. What annoyed him even more was that he still had to use the Supreme Privilege despite Immortal being right here. But he had no choice but to obey Immortal’s orders, knowing the consequences would be severe otherwise.

Ye Feng obediently used the Supreme Privilege. “Using the Supreme Privilege to merge the Immortal Bloodline with the Chaos Demon Wolf.”

“One use of the Supreme Privilege—merging begins!”

A purple glow shot from Ye Feng’s forehead and entered the Chaos Demon Wolf under Immortal’s control.

Watching its once-destroyed body slowly begin to repair itself, excitement flashed in Immortal’s eyes. “So that’s how it works…”

“Godfather, what’s wrong?” Ye Feng asked curiously.

“The last time you used the Supreme Privilege, I didn’t notice. This time, I finally saw how it works,” Immortal said excitedly. “Your Void Domain is really useful. I think I now know how to create something similar.”

“That’s outright plagiarism…” Ye Feng muttered under his breath.

“Hehe.” Unexpectedly, Immortal wasn’t angry. “This isn’t plagiarism. Your Void Domain uses a special method to draw on the fundamental energy of the universe. What I want to create goes far beyond that level. I’m just borrowing his approach, but the actual process is completely different. If comparing his method to a child building blocks, then what I need to do is equivalent to creating an entire universe—completely different in difficulty. But it will take some time and effort. Once I’ve succeeded in creating a prototype, I’ll refine a superior Void Treasure using a similar method for you, free of charge. How about that?”

“Well, welcome to plagiarism!” Ye Feng’s eyes almost gleamed upon hearing this. But the thought of not knowing when he would be able to cash in on this empty promise poured cold water over his heart, leaving him feeling utterly chilled. Watching the body of the Chaos Demon Wolf disintegrate and then repair itself over and over again reminded Ye Feng of the days when he had taken the Clear Spring Pill. The pain was beyond description, and he knew the Chaos Demon Wolf was suffering the same agony. “Will it be okay?” Ye Feng asked worriedly. “With me here, what’s there to worry about?” Immortal seemed not to be worried at all. “Don’t you see it’s getting stronger? Once your Supreme Privilege energy is exhausted, I’ll step in. But it shouldn’t be a problem. I just need to finish off the process—raising it to a King-class Chaos Beast isn’t difficult. Its cultivation level just needs to develop slowly.” “Are King-class Chaos Beasts very strong?” Ye Feng asked eagerly. “Within the Hongmeng, there are less than eighty species of King-class Chaos Beasts. Those that reach their peak become rulers in their respective realms. Isn’t that impressive?” Immortal rolled his eyes at Ye Feng. “Uh, it sounds pretty impressive, but I still don’t quite understand…” Although the description sounded exciting, Ye Feng still had no idea what Hongmeng was or just how powerful its rulers really were. “It seems you still don’t grasp what Chaos Beasts actually are,” Immortal sighed, shaking his head. “Chaos Beasts are creatures born from chaos at the dawn of the universe, when it was still in a state of chaos. They are as ancient as the universe itself and are born as the strongest among all its beings. Once they reach maturity, their strength is comparable to that of Void Walkers. Like Void Walkers, they travel between universes in search of food, being the pinnacle of the Void Beast race. King-class Chaos Beasts, after reaching maturity, can match the strength of the top Void Walkers. If they further evolve beyond maturity to become Emperor-class Chaos Beasts, they become beings powerful enough to destroy an entire universe.” “Destroy an entire universe?” Ye Feng couldn’t help but exclaim in awe.

“Yes, but there are very few Imperial-level Chaos Beasts. In total, there are only thirteen of them throughout this Hongmeng, and that’s the sum of all that have appeared over the years since Hongmeng’s birth. In terms of evolution odds, it’s already quite good if just one out of ten thousand King-level Chaos Beasts evolves into an Imperial level. Those that can evolve are usually those with exceptional fortune,” said Immortal with a smile. “Actually, those little creatures around you all have quite good aptitudes. Your fortune is even better than Cangsheng’s. If you train them well, they will all become your allies. The information in that martial arts manual is fairly comprehensive. Besides that, you should also communicate more with those little ones. Although their inherited memories contain a lot of essence, practicing based solely on them will yield limited results. Some of the information in the manual will be of great benefit to them.”

“I see. I always thought it was best for them to practice based on their inherited memories, so I basically only provided them with medicinal pills,” Ye Feng said, scratching his head awkwardly.

“The so-called Sacred stage is nothing but an infantile state in cultivation. Assisting them during this stage will yield excellent results,” Immortal said. This indeed stunned Ye Feng for a moment. It seemed he had still been in an infantile state despite cultivating for so long. But he also knew Immortal indeed had the right to say so.

At that moment, the Chaos Demon Wolf’s body finally stopped collapsing and began to repair itself slowly.

“The fusion is basically successful,” Immortal said after glancing at the Chaos Demon Wolf, then turning to Ye Feng. “Squeeze out three drops of blood. Ordinary blood is fine—no need for essence blood.”

“Oh,” Ye Feng immediately squeezed out three drops of blood from his fingertips.

“Drop those three drops sequentially into the center of the Heavenly Dao secret pattern on its forehead,” Immortal continued instructing.

Ye Feng immediately did as Immortal said. The three drops of blood quickly disappeared into the Chaos Demon Wolf’s forehead.

“Close your eyes and use your soul to sense the location of those three drops of blood and that drop of essence blood.”

Ye Feng sent his soul into the wolf’s body, and the locations of the four drops of blood became clearly visible.

“Divide those three drops of blood into lines to form the shape of the Heavenly Dao secret pattern on its forehead, and insert the essence blood right in the center,” Immortal guided step by step.

Ye Feng carried out the operations quickly. It took just a few breaths to complete them. His own essence blood showed no rejection toward his regular blood, and it was quickly inserted successfully.

“The last step remains: imprinting the Heavenly Secret Pattern formed from blood, which already incorporates the essence of life force, on the forehead of its soul. I have already opened its sea of consciousness, putting its soul into a dormant state. All that’s needed is to imprint it in the same spot as the golden mark on its soul.”

Ye Feng’s soul power, carrying the blood secret pattern, easily entered the open sea of consciousness. Soon, he saw deep within it the sleeping soul of the demonic wolf. There was a mark on its forehead identical to the blood secret pattern. He carefully aligned it and pressed down.

The originally golden secret pattern instantly turned blood red, with its red glow seeping into every corner of the soul. Suddenly, the original nine-ray star pattern shattered and, under the repair of the red energy, transformed into an extremely complex and mysterious pattern. The sphere at its center was exactly the same size as the essence of life force.

The three drops of blood finally dried up, and the red pattern reverted to gold, except for the sphere in the center, which remained vivid red.

“It’s successful. Come out. Its soul has completely transformed into a royal-grade Chaos Beast. All that’s left is cultivation,” came the immortal voice slowly.

Only then did Ye Feng withdraw his soul power. He realized that the Immortal had disappeared, and the Chaos Demonic Wolf had finally awakened. A young thought reached Ye Feng’s sea of consciousness, “Master…”

“Mm, not bad. It has reached the early stage of the Holy King level. It’s still in its juvenile stage, unable to speak, and can only communicate with me through thoughts,” Ye Feng understood the situation within the Chaos Demonic Wolf’s body with a single thought. “Come out with me. Stay by my side and don’t cause trouble.”
