Chapter 0408 – The Annihilation Pool

Even the bones alone were the rarest of celestial materials.

Weapons and artifacts forged from them would have astounding potential—possibly even surpassing some of the world's most renowned treasures.

After all, this was the fleshly body of the invincible beast Godzilla. These bones were a product of extreme tempering, and more terrifyingly, Godzilla itself possessed an innate potential for endless evolution—a monstrous being that defied logic. As long as it consumed enough energy, it could evolve ceaselessly. This evolutionary ability had undoubtedly been embedded into its broken flesh.

These bones, when refined into divine weapons, would certainly carry immense evolutionary potential.

"This spinal bone, along with the tailbone, could be forged into a powerful bone whip. The ribs are excellent material for crafting war blades. Especially the skull—it's even harder than the rest. No part of this creature is anything less than top-tier treasure material."

Yi Tianxing could barely contain his joy.

No cultivator would ever complain about owning too many treasures of this caliber.

"And these dorsal fins… they look like crystalized spines, yet they've been preserved. Such pure energy! These fins contain raw Destruction Divine Light. These are Destruction Crystal Spines. Each one holds destructive power, and once shattered, they release a beam of annihilation. As forging materials, they could become peerless treasures—ideal for divine weapons and blades."

Under the probing of the Wordless Heavenly Tome, all these materials were instantly revealed in detail—nothing could escape Yi Tianxing's insight.

"But the true supreme treasure… is this one."

His gaze fell deep into Godzilla's body, where a crimson pool emerged.

This pool radiated intricate crimson Dao patterns, with fiery red liquid flowing inside, each drop pulsing with violent destruction and annihilation energy. From time to time, red flames erupted, spinning around the pool, roaring and creating waves of fire. Its aura was maddeningly wild—utterly saturated with destructive intent.

The entire pool appeared to be forged of crimson crystal jade, formed naturally.

ROAR!!

Suddenly, a surge of firelight flared from the pool, and within it, the terrifying figure of Godzilla materialized from thin air—its form vicious, its presence full of violent destruction. It looked as if it could obliterate all existence.

But in the blink of an eye, the form collapsed and vanished back into the pool. The turbulence within it quickly calmed.

"So this is the Annihilation Pool. Incredible. Godzilla fused its own soul with this pool. It was a top-tier treasure evolved from the essence of its being. Its soul had become part of the pool, serving as its artifact spirit, and when its body was finally destroyed, the soul fragment remaining transformed into the Annihilation Pool's core spirit."

Yi Tianxing's expression showed sudden realization.

No wonder even the Yin-Yang Mirror had no effect on Godzilla. No wonder it was the very embodiment of destruction—it was born from the will of annihilation itself.

Its strength was beyond comprehension.

Such a treasure was utterly priceless.

The Annihilation Pool could absorb all matter and any form of energy in the world, refining them into destructive force. When unleashed, it emitted the fearsome Destruction Divine Light. It was a pure, destructive supreme treasure.

And it could continuously absorb energy, converting it into annihilation force. At any time, it could serve as the ultimate source of destructive power.

"If a top-tier war machine was created with the Annihilation Pool as its core power source, its power would multiply exponentially, reaching levels unimaginable. It could easily become a primary source core for a Supreme Artifact—perhaps even be merged into the Xuanhuang Immortal City itself."

After a moment of consideration, Yi Tianxing made his decision.

Though a Supreme Artifact could only have one true core, it could have subsidiary power sources—like auxiliary reactors.

Especially one like the Annihilation Pool—if used to power individual weapon modules, its destructive output would skyrocket.

"What a treasure... Truly a remarkable find."

Without hesitation, Yi Tianxing transferred the Annihilation Pool into the core space of the Supreme Artifact, where it would naturally draw in spiritual energy and convert it into destruction force.

Then he began checking the other materials recovered from the beast tide.

An enormous number of beast bones, feathers, and strange materials had been collected. The variety was endless—so much that even Yi Tianxing felt overwhelmed.

Ferocious beasts and savage birds cultivated their physical bodies and bloodline powers—they followed paths similar to that of body refiners. When they died, the power infused in their flesh and bones often crystallized into extraordinary treasure materials. Some were even born as treasures. It was a miraculous byproduct of their body cultivation.

All of it was prime for artifact forging.

This massive stockpile of materials could sustain the entire Xuanhuang Town for decades—perhaps even a century.

There was simply too much to sort through quickly.

Shaking his head, Yi Tianxing chose not to clean it up immediately.

Instead, he brought out several specific items.

They were none other than precious components from a true dragon's body.

Now that the beast tide had passed, it wasn't the right time to rush toward advancing the Immortal City. Instead, Yi Tianxing decided to open a new core life aperture—one of the five.

He had already opened the Dragon Nest Life Aperture, but four core apertures remained.

"Among the core apertures, I already have most of the required materials. But the most complete set I have is for the Dragon Bone Aperture. It requires True Dragon Bone, Indestructible Bone, and Jade Bone Grass. The True Dragon Bone is essentially the same as the Indestructible Bone, referring to bones that are nearly impossible to destroy—bones from beings who had tempered their flesh to the extreme. As long as I have enough varieties of Indestructible Bones, the aperture's foundation will be stronger. That includes the Godzilla bones—they absolutely qualify."

"I've also acquired Jade Bone Grass from the merchant Zhen Youde, even with seeds. It's now growing in my Dantian Life Aperture. That aperture has become stronger, accelerating the growth of the spirit fields and their medicinal herbs. I also obtained a Innate Spirit Pearl during the Martial Arts Tournament. That pearl can gather spiritual energy and even nourish spirit veins. Though it's not as effective as Iron Bull, it will greatly boost the Dantian Aperture's foundation."

With all preparations complete for the Dragon Bone Life Aperture, he entered the Dantian Life Aperture.

Within, a spiritual farmland hovered in the void, absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy.

This was the Dantian Spirit Land.

At this moment, it had expanded to nearly twenty mu in area (about 1.3 hectares).

His strengthened body continually fed energy back into the land, expanding it further and increasing its energy absorption speed.

Dozens of herbs, trees, and even Golden Wheat had already been planted. Their medicinal fragrance lingered in the air, suffusing the entire aperture.

The medicinal aura was being absorbed into the land, nourishing it further and creating a self-sustaining loop. As more herbs matured, this growth rate would only accelerate.

SHUA!!

At that moment, Yi Tianxing summoned the Innate Spirit Pearl, letting it fall into the Spirit Land.

Instantly, vast amounts of spiritual energy surged from the void and the pearl itself, flooding the Dantian.

RUMBLE!!

The land expanded rapidly—ten more mu formed in mere seconds, bringing the total to thirty mu.

A large new area was now ready for planting.

Even after feeding the land, the Spirit Pearl continued to draw in energy at a speed dozens of times faster than normal.

All of this was preparation.

With a wave of his hand, three items appeared before him.

—A section of True Dragon Bone, made from a dragon's fang—one of the hardest parts of the skeleton.—A fragment of Godzilla's bone, also a tooth.—A Jade Bone Grass, gleaming like crystal, shaped like bone segments, nine in total.

"To open a life aperture, it's not enough to have rare materials—you must refine them into a Life Aperture Pill. The challenge is not in the refinement itself, but in gathering the materials and transforming them into life aperture essence. Unless one is born with innate apertures, they must rely on a Life Aperture Pill to resonate with the hidden nodes of the body and awaken them."
