"Too... too brutal!!"
"Too... too... too savage."
"So barbaric, but I love it. A monster strong enough to destroy the entire Xuanhuang Town... and it was smashed to death just like that—crushed into minced meat, turned into a bloody pancake. I've never seen such a savage fighting style before."
The Hongmeng Heavenly Emperor Tower stood still in midair, its radiance dimmed as its massive form rapidly shrank. In the blink of an eye, it returned to palm-size. But no one dared to underestimate it—Godzilla had just paid with its life to prove that point.
"Brother Yi... you're amazing!!"
Mu Guiying was dumbstruck, standing beside Yi Tianxing, having witnessed everything with her own eyes. The shock in her heart was beyond words. Her gaze toward him subtly shifted—tinged now with reverence and fanaticism.
People always worship the strong.
"This tower is incredible," Cai Yan said in astonishment.
"Look! The Beast Soul Pill in the sky... it's about to transform!" Wu Yong pointed to the sky, waving his feather fan.
"It's really transforming! Is it turning from illusion to substance? Fully becoming a real Beast Soul Pill?" Huang Chengyan looked up, his eyes glinting with excitement.
In the sky, the once ethereal Beast Soul Pill was now quickly absorbing the primal blood essence released from the battlefield as countless fierce beasts fell. Especially the moment Godzilla died, a particularly pure bloodline was drawn out and merged into the pill. As it did, the colors of the pill shifted again, gaining a fifth hue—turning into a Five-Colored Beast Soul Pill.
The speed of its transformation—from phantom to real—suddenly accelerated, soaring rapidly.
It looked ready to complete its transformation at any moment and become a fully formed Beast Soul Pill.
"It's really about to condense," Yi Tianxing thought with a flicker of surprise. He hadn't expected that the pill which triggered the beast tide would fully mature at this point. But now, he could guess—once formed, it would trigger the fiercest struggle yet. Or perhaps, mark the end of the beast tide. The final stage had come.
"Return!!"
With a sharp command, the Hongmeng Heavenly Emperor Tower turned into a stream of light, shooting back into his body, reappearing in the Sea of Divine Will—anchoring the space, swallowing the world's energy, and refining itself with true essence. The previously dim tower body was now slowly recovering.
"This battle brought incredible gains. One beast tide allowed the Hongmeng Heavenly Emperor Tower to amass a terrifying amount of resources. It devoured a vast number of beasts, refined their flesh and blood, expanding its chaotic space to a radius of a thousand li. Each of its fourteen floors also now had the same thousand-li radius."
The limit of a cave-heaven space was three thousand li in radius.
Within that boundary, it could be classified as a cave-heaven artifact—a high-level yellow-grade treasure. Once it reached that size, it would be at the peak of its grade. But that only measured its classification, not its true power. The might of the tower had long surpassed simple grade rankings.
This treasure tower had become nearly indestructible, its strength derived from the heavenly power of the internal world spaces. It was heaven-defying.
With a thousand-li radius per level, multiplied by fourteen, and the addition of the chaotic space, it amounted to fifteen thousand-li spaces—the equivalent of five complete cave-heavens. Each was like a miniature world. To smash someone with the tower was akin to dropping five worlds onto them. The devastation that could cause was obvious.
No matter how powerful Godzilla was, it couldn't withstand a direct hit. Crushed alive by the overwhelming force of several cave-heavens.
The process had been crude and savage.
Now back in his body, resting in the divine sea, the tower emanated a heavy and vast presence, making the Sea of Divine Will feel unshakable—like it could last through eternity.
No force could disturb this divine sea.
Although the attack didn't drain Yi Tianxing too much, it greatly taxed the tower, depleting its internal world's power. Every strike consumed vast amounts of energy. That's why the tower had dimmed, and now it was frantically absorbing spiritual energy to recover.
Back in the sky…
The Beast Soul Pill was now shrouded in radiant five-colored light. The fragrant scent it emitted grew more intense—so strong it drove the beasts outside the city mad. Their eyes glowed red as they surged toward Iron-Blood Great Wall. Though the Iron-Blood Barrier had faded, the wall still stood. And under a rain of arrows, the tide of beasts couldn't break through, dying in droves on the battlefield.
High above, Green Emperor, Golden Roc, and Windwing Dragon King stared unblinkingly at the Beast Soul Pill, as if it might vanish in the next instant.
Green Emperor was already poised to pounce.
Whoosh!!
Perhaps a long time passed. Perhaps only a moment.
The five-colored divine light in the sky suddenly flared, bursting out like a beacon in the dark—dazzling beyond compare, shining tens or hundreds of times brighter, blinding to look at.
But in that instant, the light converged inward, drawing back into the pill. From dazzling brilliance, it became simple and unadorned, leaving only the five-colored glow around the pill.
Floating in midair, the Five-Colored Beast Soul Pill had become fully material—truly part of this world.
"It's mine! The treasure is mine!" Green Emperor howled and lunged at the pill, trying to swallow it whole.
Crack!!
A flash of golden light slashed across the sky like a sword, striking Green Emperor and sending him tumbling. Golden Roc had dived as well—clearly intent on seizing the prize with no intention of backing down.
"You damn golden bird, how dare you attack me! I swear I'll pluck you bald! I'll roast you into crispy wings! Even the Heavenly King himself couldn't stop me! When I get mad, even I scare myself!" Green Emperor raged, spewing green smoke from his nose, fuming with fury.
Whoosh!
Just then, a strange sight occurred.
The pill in the air began darting about like a butterfly, dodging left and right, evading their attempts to seize it. Neither Green Emperor nor Golden Roc could catch it.
"This pill has developed spiritual intelligence," Yi Tianxing's eyes narrowed. A thought came to mind.
A pill without spirit couldn't dodge in the air—not with such fluidity. This was a fully awakened, intelligent artifact.
Most crucially, after the transformation, the fragrance that once drew the beasts had vanished.
Outside the city, the beast tide was starting to diminish. The later waves of beasts seemed to be awakening from their frenzy and gradually dispersing.
Above, Green Emperor's furious shrieks echoed nonstop.
He chased the pill madly but didn't dare strike it—afraid of damaging it. That would be a tragedy.
"Stop running! Get in my belly already! What are you running for?" Green Emperor shouted, drooling uncontrollably.
Whoosh!!
Suddenly, the Five-Colored Beast Soul Pill dove from the sky toward Xuanhuang Town, falling rapidly to an open square.
In an instant, it landed—and then, it suddenly connected with the supreme divine artifact embryo embedded in the ground.
Without warning, five-colored divine light erupted. Within that light, a mystical transformation began.
It was as if a divine miracle was unfolding.
The pill released its radiance, which wove into the form of an ancient pool. In the spiritual pool, countless fierce beast and avian images flickered—shifting and disappearing—like all beasts bowing and all birds paying homage.
At the bottom of the pool, the Five-Colored Beast Soul Pill became a five-colored spring, sinking in and merging with the pool. Layers of five-colored mist flowed atop the surface.
"NOOOO!!!" Green Emperor wailed like he'd just lost his parents, screaming as he watched the scene unfold. He threw himself at the spring, trying to swallow it.
But once the Five-Colored Spring took form, it seemed to merge into another dimension, another plane of existence—just like before—untouchable.
All of this took only an instant.
The changes were too fast—so fast no one could react. Before anyone could do anything, the transformation had completed.
From pill... to spiritual pool... to Five-Colored Beast Soul Spring.
It felt like a dream.
"That Beast Soul Pill actually evolved into something like this… A Beast Soul Pool that can draw in spiritual energy to produce Five-Colored Beast Soul Liquid. Though this liquid isn't as potent as swallowing the pill directly, it can cleanse the bloodline and accelerate evolution. Most importantly, the liquid is inexhaustible—available for long-term use. Taken daily, even a mundane beast could eventually ascend to become a divine beast."
