It had to be said that after cultivating that body refinement technique, the might of the Great Heaven Collapsing Palm had increased to a terrifying level. It was even on the same level as a fierce beast.

Furthermore, there was the star map. He had been bored looking for Lei Ao for a long time, but was still unable to get up. It was only after this competition that Lei Ao finally understood the true power of the star map.

Not only would its attack be strong, the target would also be locked on by the star map. Under the star map, the attacker's actions would be greatly restricted.

It wasn't that he didn't want to dodge, or that he didn't want to resist. Rather, his body was bound by an invisible force and he couldn't react at all.

Understanding this point, Lei Ao trained even harder. If he had known this earlier, he would have asked the white-clothed man for other star maps' cultivation methods.

In addition, he had already stepped over the first level of the 'shrinkage' technique, reaching the second level of the 'Vanishing Shadow' technique. When combined with the 'Ghost Steps' movement technique, apart from the omnidirectional attack, even the fierce beasts were unable to catch up to his speed.

Other than Lei Ao, Huang Xin was the fastest. She had always been the weakest amongst everyone, and ever since she was awakened by the man in white, her cultivation had increased by leaps and bounds. In just two years time, she had already caught up to everyone else.

The Flower God's attacks were not that strong, but every move was filled with endless floating flowers. Not only did it give off a fragrant aroma, it also had a strong negative effect.

As long as one breathed in even the slightest bit of the flower's fragrance, they would feel dizzy or hallucinated, or their body would drop in strength or become weak. It was much better than the mist in the Misty Lock Tower.

Even if you hold your breath, it's useless. The flower petals that fill the sky are in themselves an illusion, and as long as you fall into the array, it's equivalent to entering the world of the flower god.

After cultivating on the altar for three years, they rarely returned to the security barrier. Everyone's strength was enough to suppress a vicious beast.

After all, it already had one arm and four wings, and its fighting ability was no longer as powerful as before. Even so, it was still very difficult to kill it, unless everyone worked together.

In any case, there were still two years left. After discussing with others, Lei Ao decided to treat berserk beasts as his opponents and try his best to increase his strength within two years.

Ever since the ancient immortals had disappeared, only the senior from six thousand years ago and the sickly scholar who had burned his Essence was able to enter the Immortal Realm.

In all honesty, the sickly scholar could not be considered. After all, this was not the strength that he had cultivated to begin with. Currently, Lei Ao and the others had already stepped into the Saint realm in the fourth year.

However, no matter how hard they cultivated, they were unable to advance another level. It was as if there was an invisible barrier blocking them.

Since ancient times, there were many geniuses with heaven-defying talents, but no one had stepped into the Immortal Realm. This was not by chance.

He had a vague feeling that this world was restricting their strength. If they were stronger than the senior from six thousand years ago, they would only be able to reach their goal with the help of an ancient immortal weapon.

In the blink of an eye, five years passed and today was the last day of the agreement. Lei Ao and the others gathered together to discuss whether to stay or leave.

It was undeniable that a powerful vicious beast was the best sparring partner. Not only that, but it also hid the Heavenly Dao Laws within itself. Every move of its contained the Concept of the Great Dao.

Every time he fought with it, he would gain different insights. Moreover, under Lei Ao's reminder, everyone would study those eight blood-red chains. This seemed to be a type of Law that raised one's fighting spirit.

Apart from Lei Ao, everyone else had only gained so much. This was something left behind by the War Dao Sovereign, and only someone with a bloodline capable of fighting would be able to use it to its fullest.

After all, it had been a very long time since they had contacted the outside world. Five years ago, they had heard from the white-robed man that a great calamity had occurred, and they were all very worried about their sect.

Moreover, once their strength had reached the great circle of the Saint realm, they would no longer be able to raise their strength. Staying behind would only waste time. It would be better to go outside and find another way to break through.

Lei Ao looked at the vicious beast and asked, "Since that's the case, then let's quickly finish it. Who's going?"

"Pitiful fellow, after being abused for five years, you can finally free yourself. The Buddha has shown mercy and helped you to transcend the border."

He pretended to be a merciful Buddha and chanted Buddhist chants in a low voice. Who knew that as soon as he picked up the Demon Subduing Pestle, a black shadow would pass by him and Niu Meng would rush forward to attack.

However, Niu Meng did not hit the berserk beast. On his way, he was intercepted by another figure. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Zhou Qing.

"Wait a moment, can you not kill me?" Zhou Qing said.

"Damn, what are you doing?" How are we going to leave without killing it? " he shouted.

"I mean, it's fine to kill it, but it's best not to damage its body."

"What do you want to do?"

Zhou Qing said, "Of course it's to refine it. Don't forget that I'm from the Mao Mountain Sect."

The most famous technique of the Mao Mountain Sect was not the talisman, nor was it the Immortal Deity Technique. Instead, it was the Corpse Controlling Technique. This heaven defying technique could control the corpses of experts that died.

After refining the corpse, no matter how strong it was before it died, it would fall down to the Initiated Dao Realm. It was also the lowest level of bronze corpse. However, it would retain its cultivation and techniques before it died.

Zhou Qing valued the ferocious beasts' powerful physiques. Although their strength had dropped to the Transcendent Dao Realm, even a Saint realm expert would not be able to break that abnormal body.

Not to mention, as long as his cultivation realm was still there, it wouldn't be difficult for him to evolve.

The refined corpses were divided into five levels. From low to high, they were copper, iron, silver, gold, and corpse emperors.

In the ancient times, the Silver Corpses were at the same Immortal Realm, but the Corpse Emperor had never appeared. It seemed that the heavens did not allow this kind of strange creature to exist.

Every time it evolved, it would have to go through a heavenly tribulation. The further it evolved, the stronger the heavenly tribulation became. Since the day the Mao Mountain Sect opened the mountain, there had never been a Corpse Emperor.

Understanding Zhou Qing's plan, Lei Ao straightforwardly shook his head: "Don't even think about this. Every single one of these vicious beasts have their own independent consciousness. It's not something you can refine."

Zhou Qing looked puzzled. "How did you know?"

"Do you know what this is?" Lei Ao revealed his Wild Beast Shield.

"Isn't this your strange iron shield? But then again, what kind of shield was this? "Even berserk beasts can't be defeated."

Everyone had witnessed the abnormal defense of the beast shield. It was not the first time that this shield had helped them escape danger. Now that they heard that Lei Ao was going to reveal the shield's origin, they all revealed expressions of interest.

"This shield is actually the nails of another Fierce Beast. Although it was only half a piece, I almost died when I refined it all those years ago. It was completed with the help of the Blood Blade and two other types of powers."

Lei Ao didn't explain what the other two types of power were. He only said to Zhou Qing, "Although you are at the Saint realm, it is impossible for you to refine a vicious beast by yourself. Moreover, this entire vicious beast is yours, so you should give up on this idea as soon as possible."

"This is the nails of a vicious beast?" Nangong Mengjun curiously took the shield and looked at it. She gently nodded and said, "Hearing you say this, it really does sound like it. It's just that there is no berserk beast's breath in it."

"It's already been refined. How could it still have its aura?" Lei Ao rolled his eyes.

Everyone advised him not to take the risk. Even Lei Ao, who was as strong as him, could not even refine half a fingernail with the help of that perverted blood sword. It was even more impossible for Zhou Qing to refine the entire beast.

Then, in order to thank them for training with them for the past five years, everyone decided to take action at the same time and send the vicious beasts on their way.

Five years ago, the berserk beasts that could turn this group of people into meat pancakes could only helplessly lay on the ground and wail. Even if it didn't lose one arm and four wings, it would still have difficulty escaping death when facing this group of youths with awakened Divine Veins.

Unless... It could break apart the remaining two blood-colored chains and completely unseal its power.

If that was the case, perhaps it wasn't the one that died.
