Chapter 540: Chapter 283: Progenitor Source Behemoth—Entropy Nightmare
"Could it be that this Ancestor Giant Beast intends to resurrect itself from the entirely new creatures raised in its breeding ground!!"
This idea quietly emerged in Lu Sheng’s mind, causing a storm of astonishment within him.
"A being more powerful than a Tier Seven Cosmic Life Form, doing this would imply, besides cultivating its heir, another possibility: resurrecting itself."
"If this is the case, then the plan of this Ancestor Giant Beast is terrifying, treating the entire Beast Realm as its breeding ground to select the strongest one to resurrect itself."
Lu Sheng took a sharp breath, unable to suppress his thoughts.
"Regardless of whether my speculation is correct or not, what I must do now is to remove the trace of the Ancestor Giant Beast’s bloodline within me."
"Although the bloodline of the Ancestor Giant Beast has no effect on lower-tier Exotic Beasts, as these beasts grow stronger, this Bloodline Power becomes tainted."
"Maybe, in the end, they will be influenced by the Bloodline Power; even if not intended for resurrection, they might become puppets because of it!"
Thinking about this, Lu Sheng resolved, when he returns, to find a way to completely eradicate the trace of the Entropy Phantom’s bloodline within him.
Otherwise, Lu Sheng would never be at peace.
At this moment, the Sand Scorpion next to Lu Sheng slowly spoke: "This time I’ve come because the king behind me wishes to invite the King of the Forest to join the alliance of the Giant Beast King!"
"Of course... After joining the alliance, the king behind me promises to provide a method to clear the Entropy Phantom bloodline within you, King of the Forest!"
Hearing the Sand Scorpion’s words, Lu Sheng was momentarily stunned, but quickly regained composure.
"I can tell, and so can those Kings of Giant Beasts, that none who have reached this point are fools."
Indeed, just as this thought crossed Lu Sheng’s mind, the Sand Scorpion continued: "To those Kings of Giant Beasts, the presence of the Source Blood is what blocks them from becoming an Ancestor Giant Beast. To become one, they must keep their bloodline pure, and thus, must eliminate the Source Blood within."
Hearing the Sand Scorpion’s words, Lu Sheng understood and, after a brief contemplation, agreed to the Sand Scorpion’s invitation.
The Sand Scorpion smiled slightly and bowed to Lu Sheng again: "Since it’s so, I will return with this news. Please remember, King of the Forest, that in seven days, the Kings will gather for the King’s Assembly, and don’t miss it!"
With that, the Sand Scorpion gave Lu Sheng a location, the meeting place for the King’s Assembly.
Then, the Sand Scorpion bowed once again, taking out another stone slab.
This stone slab was slightly different from the previous one, but its energy fluctuations were remarkably similar.
"The method of refining the Entropy Phantom bloodline is within the stone slab; please refer to it, King of the Forest!"
With those words, the Sand Scorpion turned and left.
Watching the direction in which the Sand Scorpion departed, Lu Sheng squinted slightly: "The King’s Assembly, hmm? Interesting!"
"The method to refine the bloodline of the Ancestor Giant Beast... It seems that the Giant Beast Kings in the Beast Realm are indeed extraordinary; they’ve already found a way to refine the Bloodline Power!"
Lu Sheng smiled slightly and returned to the valley.
Returning to the valley, Lu Sheng first attempted to expel the Ancestor Giant Beast’s bloodline within him. However, this bloodline was extremely tenacious, as if entangled within his body, making it difficult to remove.
After half a day, Lu Sheng still couldn’t refine the Entropy Phantom’s bloodline.
"It seems... I’ll have to rely on the method of those King of Giant Beasts!"
Feeling somewhat helpless, Lu Sheng wasn’t too concerned; after all, the Beast Realm had developed for so many years, so it likely took them a long time to find a way to eradicate the Entropy Phantom bloodline. Attempting to refine it in just half a day proved somewhat challenging.
Subsequently, Lu Sheng took out the stone slab, placing his claw upon it.
Instantly, a stream of information surged into Lu Sheng’s mind, and after assimilating it, he understood.
"So that’s how it is!"
Lu Sheng realized and then began to apply the method to refine the bloodline, gradually refining the Entropy Phantom bloodline within.
The method provided by the Giant Beast King did not completely expel the Bloodline Power but used the King’s Domain to dissolve the Entropy Phantom bloodline.
It merged the Entropy Phantom bloodline within the body, dispersing it throughout, allowing the powerful flesh to fully refine and absorb the bloodline as its own.
Thus, no Entropy Phantom bloodline would remain within the Bloodline Power, and even Lu Sheng’s physique would be significantly strengthened due to the Entropy Phantom bloodline.
Lu Sheng operated the technique, gradually integrating the Entropy Phantom bloodline into his physical form, with the bloodline power weaving into his body.
In his mind, scenes suddenly emerged.
In those scenes.
An immensely colossal creature stood within the Cosmic Void, whose every breath caused nearby planets to sway along with it.
The Cosmic Void surrounding it rippled due to the presence of this enormous creature.
"Is this... the body of the Entropy Nightmare?"
When Lu Sheng laid eyes on the form of the Entropy Nightmare, his pupils constricted instantly.
Compared to the giant beast kings of the Beast Realm, Lu Sheng had personally seen a Galactic Life Form, and his vision was naturally beyond the comparison of the giant beast kings of the Beast Realm.
Because of this, Lu Sheng was able to suddenly realize that his previous estimation of the Entropy Nightmare’s strength was completely wrong!
This was not merely a suspected seventh-tier entity; it was clearly a... Galactic Life Form!!
"The Entropy Nightmare... is actually a Galactic Life Form!"
As Lu Sheng gazed upon the body of the Entropy Nightmare, his expression gradually turned solemn.
In the image, although the Entropy Nightmare’s breathing was extremely weak, it could still affect the surrounding Cosmic Void with its own energy.
As time passed, it seemed the lifespan of the Entropy Nightmare was nearing its end.
Perhaps knowing its lifespan was about to expire, the Entropy Nightmare slowly approached a Life Planet, and this very Life Planet turned out to be the Beast Realm!
However, at that time, the Beast Realm was noticeably minuscule, nowhere near as powerful as it is now.
Even though it had a world consciousness, it was still extremely weak.
In that era of the Beast Realm, there had not yet been any giant beasts born; it was a planet devoid of any Flesh life forms at all.
However, with the arrival of the Entropy Nightmare, its body began to disintegrate piece by piece, integrating into the Beast Realm.
As these fragments melded with the Beast Realm, some fragments transformed into mountains, rivers, and streams, while others created the current giant beasts.
Everything in the Beast Realm carries the shadows of the Entropy Nightmare.
The Entropy Nightmare used its body... to become a gift to the Beast Realm, fostering the birth of giant beasts.
Lu Sheng observed this scene in his mind, a trace of doubt flickering in his eyes.
"How odd, to reach the level of a Galactic Life Form, and lifespan itself is extremely long. Even though the Entropy Nightmare’s death in the image has nothing to do with external forces, just the mere exhaustion of lifespan..."
"But... the ways a Galactic Life Form can extend its lifespan are myriad. Why did the Entropy Nightmare not adopt any of these methods, but instead voluntarily walked toward death, merging itself entirely with the Beast Realm?"
"What is the Entropy Nightmare truly trying to achieve?"
Lu Sheng felt deeply puzzled, completely clueless about what the Entropy Nightmare sought to accomplish.
After all, it remains a Galactic Life Form, just as Emperor Bai had previously advised Lu Sheng, never attempt to fathom the mind of a Galactic Life Form.
Their thoughts... are absolutely beyond what ordinary Cosmic Life can contemplate.
"It seems... the secrets of the Beast Realm are even greater than I imagined!"
"I thought it was just an ordinary seventh-tier Life Planet, but now it appears... with the shadow of such a Galactic Life Form like the Entropy Nightmare within, the Beast Realm... is far from simple!"
Lu Sheng gradually returned to his senses from the scenes in his mind, his expression already extremely grave.
As Lu Sheng’s consciousness exited the images in his mind, he completely refined the trace of Entropy Nightmare Bloodline Power within him.
And on Lu Sheng’s system panel, the purity of that bloodline increased from being stuck at ninety-nine to one hundred!
"Is this what a one hundred percent bloodline purity feels like? Although there’s no significant advancement in cultivation, the combat power..."
"Has indeed strengthened significantly due to the integration of the Entropy Nightmare’s bloodline!"
Feeling the immense power surging within him, Lu Sheng couldn’t help but let a smile curve upon his lips.
For the next period, Lu Sheng familiarized himself with the greatly enhanced strength within his body in the valley.
The seven days quickly passed, and Lu Sheng departed from the forest, heading toward the place previously indicated by Gravel Scorpion.
Soon, Lu Sheng arrived at a massive gorge, whose sides boasted extremely sturdy steps.
Upon each step, an impressively strong Giant Beast King was already perched.
With Lu Sheng’s approach, those Giant Beast Kings also sensed his presence. Perhaps due to prior communication, Lu Sheng’s arrival did not seem to surprise them.
Instead, several Giant Beast Kings nodded slightly to the newly arrived Lu Sheng, serving as a sort of greeting.
