These Starry Sky Beasts, each over ten thousand meters in size, could overpower ordinary Emperor level powerhouses with their physical strength and regenerative abilities alone.
Only those who had advanced a step beyond the Emperor level could suppress the weakest Emperor level Starry Sky Beasts.
As for Starry Sky Beasts of one hundred thousand meters, one million meters, or even ten million meters in size, it required several Emperor level powerhouses, each a step above the rest, to defeat them.
Only a Quasi Heavenly Emperor had the strength to guard Guixu.
Of course, this was under the condition that the Starry Sky Beast Kings in the depths of Guixu did not act.
If the Starry Sky Beast Kings were to riot, even a Quasi Heavenly Emperor might meet a bitter end.
After all, every Starry Sky Beast King possessed power comparable to a Quasi Heavenly Emperor.
On this day, in the depths of Guixu, a slumbering Starry Sky Beast King opened its eyes.
Instantly, more than half of Guixu seemed to be pierced by darkness by two dazzling beams of light.
These were the eyes of the Starry Sky Beast King.
"Roar..."
Opening its mouth, an invisible wave spread out. Immediately, all the Starry Sky Beasts in Guixu seemed to receive a command. They violently rioted, rushing out of Guixu without regard for their own safety.
...
"Not good!"
For tens of millions of years, the one guarding Guixu had been a Quasi Heavenly Emperor who cultivated the Law of Beast.
The "Law of Beast" created by Us was originally comprehended using fierce beasts as prototypes.
After proving the Dao and becoming an Emperor by cultivating the Law of Beast, many practitioners of the Law of Beast would come to Guixu to battle Starry Sky Beasts and further deepen their understanding of the Law of Beast.
If one could condense the phantom image of a Starry Sky Beast King, they could reach the Quasi Heavenly Emperor realm.
Guixu, in a sense, was also a sacred ground of the Beast God territory.
When the Starry Sky Beast King in Guixu opened its eyes, the Quasi Heavenly Emperor guarding Guixu was immediately greatly alarmed.
"Roar!"
Flying to the boundary between Guixu and the Universe, the burly man with wildly dancing long hair let out a mighty roar. A massive black shadow condensed behind him, forming the phantom image of a giant crocodile Starry Sky Beast over a hundred million meters in size.
Receiving his warning, powerful auras immediately emerged from various outposts outside Guixu, connecting with the phantom image of the crocodile.
Under this immense aura, the Starry Sky Beasts of ten thousand meters that were madly rushing out of Guixu quickly shattered into bloody mist.
Starry Sky Beasts of one hundred thousand meters were directly dealt a heavy blow.
Only Starry Sky Beasts of one million meters were not significantly affected.
Soon, this condensed aura was dispersed by more Starry Sky Beasts.
Following that, figures appeared, carrying various colorful developments, and engaged in battle with these Starry Sky Beasts rushing out of Guixu.
"Boom!"
"Boom boom boom!"
Those who could intercept Starry Sky Beasts at Guixu were at least powerhouses with Emperor level strength.
Over these thousands upon tens of thousands of years, they had long become familiar with the attack methods of the Starry Sky Beasts.
However, in all their years of guarding Guixu, there had never been a collective riot of Starry Sky Beasts like this.
But soon, relying on their numerical advantage, the human powerhouses of Guixu and their acquaintances formed small teams, engaging in fierce battles with the Starry Sky Beasts one by one.
In the boundless Universe, roars and explosions echoed across the entire battlefield of Guixu.
The blood of countless Starry Sky Beasts splattered across the starry sky, piercing through stars, eventually losing their divine radiance and descending onto some life-bearing planets. Some became forbidden zones, some gave rise to exotic flowers and rare fruits, and some created fortunate individuals with great destiny.
Fortunately, the Starry Sky Beast King in Guixu merely opened its eyes and roared once, then took no further action.
Therefore, the Starry Sky Beasts that broke out of Guixu were at most only a dozen super Starry Sky Beasts over a hundred million meters in size, and they tragically perished before the Quasi Heavenly Emperor who cultivated the Law of Beast.
No one knew that an inconspicuous fierce beast, without a sound, had traversed through the gaps in the battlefield and finally left Guixu, venturing into the starry sky of the Universe...
...
In Dragon Claw Village, a boy of eight or nine years old was holding a strange posture, sweat pouring down his body like rain.
From his thin clothes, one could see that the muscles all over his body were trembling.
Suddenly, the boy's body shuddered, and he could no longer maintain his cultivation posture, falling backward.
"Bang!"
"Shitian, you are too impatient!"
Behind the young boy, a delicate young man reprimanded him with a frown, "Whether it's the Qi Gathering Stance or the Body Tempering Stance, it requires a long time for the body to adapt."
"Body tempering, seventy percent is cultivation, and thirty percent is tempering."
"I taught you the Body Tempering Stance hoping you would take it step by step, building your body to possess infinite potential."
"However, with your body not yet properly nourished, you are trying to break through your body's limits with extreme cultivation. It may seem like rapid progress, but it is actually depleting your body's future."
These two individuals were, naturally, Qin Shuang and Dugu Zangtian's son, Dugu Shitian.
To be honest, Dugu Shitian had given Qin Shuang and Dugu Zangtian a huge surprise.
By the time Dugu Zangtian and Ye Qing got married, they had already finished cultivating the Sea of Energy Secret Realm, their Sacred Body's blood had completely transformed into gold, and they had forged their own "Sacred Body."
Therefore, their child, Dugu Shitian, displayed a stronger physique than ordinary people from a young age.
At the age of three, he could fight fierce beasts. After cultivating with Qin Shuang for five years, he had already completed the Qi Gathering Stance, and even the Body Tempering Stance had made considerable progress.
Currently, at the age of eight, Dugu Shitian was already a powerful Level 8 Warrior.
However, looking at the breakthrough Dugu Shitian had made, a hint of disappointment flashed in Qin Shuang's eyes.
Too impatient!
Perhaps it was because he had been called a "genius" since childhood, fighting a Level 1 Fierce Beast at the age of three and fully controlling his strength after a week of cultivation. Afterward, Dugu Shitian grew at an astonishing speed.
He broke through to Level 2 in a month, Level 3 in half a year, and by the age of four, he had reached the Intermediate Warrior stage, becoming a Level 4 Warrior.
At the age of six, Dugu Shitian's physical strength was already on par with a Level 6 Warrior.
However, Qin Shuang felt that Dugu Shitian's potential had not been fully unleashed. He held back Dugu Shitian, instructing him to cultivate the Qi Gathering Stance for another year.
At seven years old, Dugu Shitian activated his Sacred Body bloodline, his blood carrying streaks of gold, and his physical strength reached the level of a Level 7 Warrior.
Afterward, under Qin Shuang's guidance, Dugu Shitian began cultivating the Body Tempering Stance.
Unfortunately, perhaps due to being suppressed by Qin Shuang for too long, the cultivation of the Body Tempering Stance caused Dugu Shitian's strength to increase rapidly.
In just half a year, Dugu Shitian further increased his physical strength by a considerable margin, with only one step left to reach Level 8.
Just moments ago, Dugu Shitian had successfully broken through his physical limit, reaching the Level 8 Warrior stage.
But this breakthrough by Dugu Shitian was completely negated by Qin Shuang.
Although the Body Tempering Stance was simple, it was the result of Qin Shuang's countless efforts.
This was a cultivation method that could gradually increase physical strength, and with persistent practice, one's body could be strengthened to the point of breaking through the universe.
With such a cultivation method, the body was strengthened step by step. How could there be a limit?
Dugu Shitian breaking through his physical limit to reach Level 8 Warrior, while seemingly cultivating faster, had actually imposed a "limit" on his body.
This meant that Dugu Shitian, while practicing in front of Qin Shuang, was following the "70% nourishment, 30% strengthening" method as per Qin Shuang's instructions.
In private, however, for the sake of faster cultivation, he had changed the cultivation method of the Body Tempering Stance to a "30% nourishment, 70% strengthening" model.
Dugu Zangtian knew the power of the Body Tempering Stance and had once regrettably expressed that if he hadn't been threatened by "Old Heaven," he would have definitely inherited Qin Shuang's legacy.
Ye Qing didn't know much about the Body Tempering Stance, but she knew from Dugu Zangtian how astonishing this cultivation posture was.
Therefore, changing the cultivation method of the Body Tempering Stance could only have been done by Dugu Shitian himself.
Being able to privately alter the cultivation posture of the Body Tempering Stance meant that Dugu Shitian's talent was even greater than Dugu Zangtian's.
But it was precisely because of this immense talent that Dugu Shitian had imposed a "limit" on his own body.
"Sigh..."
Qin Shuang shook his head, sighed, and left in disappointment.
It seemed that the Body Tempering Stance he had created could only be successfully cultivated by those who were slow-witted but diligent and never gave up.
For prodigies like Dugu Shitian, they had their own ideas. Qin Shuang knew that even if Dugu Shitian now practiced the Body Tempering Stance according to his arrangement, once he gained more experience in the future, he would inevitably modify it to a cultivation method more suited to himself.
Of course, in doing so, the original intent of the Body Tempering Stance would be distorted, and naturally, it would not be possible to rely on "long-term" training to enhance the body's limits.
"This?"
Dugu Shitian gained more confidence in the modified Body Tempering Stance that allowed him to break through so quickly. As for the dejected figure of his Grand-Master, perhaps he felt that his thousand years of effort were not as good as his one year of achievement and was disheartened.
...
In the vast expanse of the universe, a massive shadow flashed by.
Occasionally, wherever this colossal figure passed, suns would disappear, and stars would be annihilated.
After leaving Guixu, the growth of this Starry Sky Beast had accelerated by several hundred times.
The Starry Sky Beast, which was only ten thousand meters in size five years ago, was now over fifty thousand meters in size, and its strength had increased fivefold compared to before.
However, in the pupils of this Starry Sky Beast, there was no trace of the brutality seen in other Starry Sky Beasts from Guixu.
Instead, its pupils exuded a sense of indifference.
It was as if all things in the world were like ants in its eyes, viewed from a position of superiority.
This kind of gaze was something even the grand figures of the Immortal path did not possess.
If Qin Shuang or Dugu Zangtian had seen it, they might have felt a sense of familiarity.
Because it was during that encounter that they had broken free from "Old Heaven's" arrangement and obtained these decades of peace.
