At the bottom of a huge canyon, over tens of thousands of kilometers long and tens of thousands of kilometers wide.
There were more than a dozen lakes, each with a diameter of over a hundred kilometers. If one looked down from the sky, they would see that these lakes were originally giant footprints, only filled with rainwater to form the lakes.
Ender arrived at the bottom of the valley, merely glancing at the footprints that had become lakes, then looked towards the emerald green statue with a shoulder height of nearly ten thousand kilometers.
The statue had two horns on its head, was covered in emerald green scales, and had a slender, gecko-like body, emanating a divine aura that was both vital and tyrannical.
"That's the Beast God of Wood statue…"
Looking at the emerald green beast god statue, Ender only felt a hint of its divine aura from the statue, and gained nothing else.
He flew a circle around the Beast God of Wood statue, taking pictures of the scale patterns on the statue's body through the Virtual Universe for later study of the scale distribution.
"Something's strange. Logically, with a beast god statue here, there should be many Powerhouses of the Wood-Space Beast God Path coming to comprehend, but here…"
He circled the beast god statue and found that very few Powerhouses were comprehending the beast god statue there, and all of them were King-level Immortal.
"Perhaps this beast god statue is truly as that Camel Deer Race King-level Immortal said, very difficult to gain anything from?"
Ender flew to a protruding rock on the canyon wall and carefully comprehended the Beast God of Wood statue.
"If I remember correctly, the mystery of the beast god statue should be on its scales."
Having previously comprehended the mystery of the Gold beast god statue in the Gold Horn Race's Laos World, he had some understanding of the mysteries on the beast god statue's body, so he directly began to study the scales on this statue.
…
world ring.
The second branch tree used the power of the World to manipulate a carving knife, practicing with very cheap C-grade and D-grade metals, attempting to replicate the Beast God of Wood statue with a hint of divine aura.
Metal blocks floated in the air, and the carving knife flew rapidly over them, carving with very skilled movements.
"Failed?"
After carving the statue in one go, Ender found that the newly carved statue did not exhibit the divine aura of the Beast God of Wood.
Although it looked majestic, it was in fact just an ordinary statue.
Seeing that the first statue failed to replicate the Beast God's divine aura, he continued to control the carving knife with the power of the World, also in one go. From the 1st to the 90,729th scale on the beast god statue, the carving knife did not pause at all.
But he still failed; what he carved was an ordinary statue without divine aura.
"This shouldn't be!"
Ender was somewhat puzzled, "From the number of scales, both the Gold Beast God and Beast God of Wood have 90,729 scales, both nine times the perfect number 10081."
"I made no deviations in the carving, completely mimicking the Beast God of Wood statue from outside, and all carvings were completed in one go, but there was no divine aura of the Beast God of Wood, nor did it trigger any Universe Law fluctuations…"
In reality.
Ender sat on the rock wall, carefully observing the massive Beast God of Wood statue, trying to find problems he hadn't noticed during his carving.
He observed the Beast God of Wood statue carefully for several days, and during these days, he tried multiple times but still found no problems.
"Incorrect! This Beast God of Wood statue has a problem!"
Ender thought to himself, "Although it has an extraordinary divine aura, mimicking it does not produce divine aura, nor does it trigger any Space Law fluctuations."
"Could it be…"
He speculated, "Someone tampered with this Beast God of Wood statue, causing it to have a special divine aura that cannot be mimicked by anyone."
"No wonder there are so few Powerhouses near this Beast God of Wood statue, only a few King-level Immortal are comprehending and observing it. So, the statue has a problem…"
Thinking of this, Ender leaped from the protruding rock and flew towards the clouds in the sky, "Since the beast god statue here has a problem, there's no need to stay on Cloud Sea Continent."
In just over ten seconds, he rushed into the endless clouds, then used teleportation to arrive in the dark Void several light-years away.
Ender stood in the endless dark Void, with only a few distant stars emitting light.
"Although the Beast God of Wood statue on Cloud Sea Continent has a problem, I learned about the existence of Venerable Quakebound from the Camel Deer Race King-level Immortal, so it wasn't a wasted trip."
He looked at the faint lights and pondered, "Should I go directly to Beichen Secret Realm, or first visit other places where the Beast God of Wood has set foot…"
"Aurora Radiance Continent in Beichen Secret Realm can be called a Holy Land for cultivating the Beast God Path, not only because Venerable Quakebound resides and Cultivates there, but also because the Beast God of Wood once stayed in that Secret Realm for a long time."
"Otherwise, with Venerable Quakebound's strength as a Top-tier Universe Overlord and his identity as a Guardian Venerable of the Ancestral God Sect, it's unlikely he would abandon the Ancestral God Sect, which has Beast God Legacy, to reside and Cultivate in Beichen Secret Realm."
After a brief thought, Ender decided, "I'll leave Beichen Secret Realm as the final stop for my pursuit of the Beast God of Wood's footsteps. Before that, I'll explore the other Secret Realm coordinates my teacher gave me."
Thinking of this, after checking the map, he headed towards several planetary continents in Gong Cha Secret Realm where the Beast God of Wood had once set foot.
…
In the 1st year after leaving Cloud Sea Continent, Ender completed the exploration of the planetary continents in Bewitching Secret Realm where the Beast God of Wood had set foot, with no gains.
…
In the 4th year, Ender completed the exploration of Ku Lu Secret Realm, discovered a damaged Beast God of Wood statue, and Soul enslaved a Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal, King Fog Ridge.
…
In the 52nd year, while exploring Ruya Li Secret Realm, Ender found a Beast God of Wood statue that had been comprehended by many King-level Immortals and even two Universe Venerables. He comprehended and observed it for decades and gained a lot.
…
In the 493rd year, Ender completed the exploration of all Secret Realms on the list given by his teacher, except for Beichen Secret Realm, and Soul enslaved a Limit stage King-Level Immortal, King Blazing Sand.
…
Beichen Secret Realm.
In the endless Void, on a deserted asteroid about a hundred kilometers in diameter, a dazzling light suddenly shone.
Along with spatial fluctuations, Ender and King Branchwater appeared on the deserted asteroid from the brilliant light.
"Finally arrived at Beichen Secret Realm."
Ender put King Branchwater into his world ring, and after orienting himself using the map in the Virtual Universe, he looked towards the direction of Aurora Radiance Continent.
"Aurora Radiance Continent is a Holy Land for cultivating the Wood-Space Beast God Path. Venerable Quakebound has set strict rules against fighting and killing. Violators will face an eye-for-an-eye, tooth-for-a-tooth punishment."
He murmured, "If I don't want to perish on Aurora Radiance Continent, I must follow the rules set by Venerable Quakebound." "A safe environment is beneficial for me to Cultivate the Wood-Space Beast God Path. If I can happen to hear Venerable Quakebound lecture, that would be a huge Opportunity!"
Whoosh!
With great anticipation for Aurora Radiance Continent, Ender used teleportation to rush towards Aurora Radiance Continent.
Although he is a World Master, his body, with the enhancement of the Dragon Awakening Spear, was as strong as or even exceeded F-grade metal, and he also had the enhancement of 100,000 times the power of a Peak World Master, which allowed him to use teleportation multiple times consecutively.
Of course, the location of the Divine Kingdom's teleportation was still hundreds of thousands of light-years away from Aurora Radiance Continent, so he couldn't continuously teleport. He would definitely need to rest for a period in between.
After tens of thousands of teleports, Ender finally arrived above Aurora Radiance Continent.
he saw an floating continent in the Void, and outside the continent, besides white clouds, various colors of light shone, illuminating the entire continent with extraordinary splendor.
"Aurora Radiance Continent, the Holy Land for cultivating the Wood-Space Beast God Path."
After briefly gazing at the beautiful continent below, Ender swooped down.
…
Aurora Radiance Continent, Yanmo City.
This was an incredibly vast and simple city, with only simple and intermittently broken stone city walls separating the city from the wilderness.
Originally, after the extinction of the indigenous people on Aurora Radiance Continent, there were no cities or similar structures on the continent.
However, as Venerable Quakebound Cultivated in seclusion on Aurora Radiance Continent and arranged statues and steles that could help many Wood-Space Beast God Path cultivators improve, countless Powerhouses were attracted to reside and Cultivate there.
During this process, some weak and ordinary Races discovered business opportunities and sent Immortals from their Races to operate shops, gradually forming this vast yet simple city around the statues and steles.
Yanmo City was home to hundreds of millions of Immortals from various Races and forces across the Universe, as well as a small number of rarely seen Universe Venerables who resided and Cultivated in seclusion.
Ender arrived at Aurora Radiance Continent and only discovered this large city through a wide-ranging scan with his detector. The history of Yanmo City was also learned from the foreign Immortal who operated shops.
As soon as he arrived at Yanmo City, this safe place, he thought about going to a pub to relax and have a drink. Just as he sat down and ordered a fruit wine for flesh-and-blood creatures, a foreign King-level Immortal came over to greet him.
A foreign King-level Immortal came to the table, raising a wine glass filled with liquid metal and saying, "Hello, Human King-level Immortal."
"Crystal Race King-level Immortal?"
Ender looked at the newcomer, seeing their body perfectly cast like a crystal, wearing a dark green battle armor, with an impeccably beautiful face, and a golden eye in the center of their forehead.
They were indeed the Crystal Race, one of the six Pinnacle races of the Universe!
The Crystal Race King-level Immortal spoke, "There are few Human King-level Immortals in Yanmo City, and I haven't seen you, so you must be new here, right?"
"Just arrived." Ender nodded slightly.
There was nothing to hide. Although Yanmo City was home to hundreds of millions of Immortals, a King-level Immortal's memory and perception could easily remember the life auras of everyone, making it easy to distinguish between newcomers and old-timers.
"My title is King Maple Radiance." The Crystal Race King-level Immortal introduced himself, "Human King-level Immortal, what do you call yourself?"
"King Void River." Ender replied.
In Aurora Radiance Continent, where killing was strictly forbidden, he was not afraid of revealing his identity as King Void River.
Aurora Radiance Continent was the territory of Venerable Quakebound. Even if a Universe Venerable wanted to attack him, they would have to consider whether they could offend that Top-tier Universe Overlord Powerhouse who was backed by the Ancestral God Sect.
"King Void River?!" King Maple Radiance was quite surprised, "You are the Human King Void River, that newly risen Invincible stage King-Level Powerhouse!"
"What? King Void River!"
"Is that Human the King Void River?!"
"He's the one who Soul enslaved King Blazing Sand."
"An Invincible stage King-Level Powerhouse comparable to an ordinary Universe Venerable!"
Hearing King Maple Radiance's surprised exclamation, King-level Immortals drinking nearby all looked over, and some King-level Immortal couldn't help but exclaim.
King Void River, the newly risen Invincible stage King-Level Powerhouse of the Human Race, whose famous battle in Mysterious Hawk Secret Realm saw him overpower many King-level Immortal Powerhouses to seize the Soul-shaking Stone, crushing the Limit stage King Powerhouse King Fierce Rock with overwhelming advantage along the way.
If it were just that battle for the Soul-shaking Stone, it wouldn't have caused countless Powerhouses to exclaim. What truly shocked and even terrified them was his Soul enslavement of King Blazing Sand!
The Human King Void River, in an extremely short period, annihilated King Blazing Sand's divine body, whose strength was Limit stage King, into dormancy, and then Soul enslaved the latter under the watchful eyes of everyone.
That battle made many Pinnacle Stage King-Level and even Limit stage King-Level immortals feel shocked and terrified. His process of enslaving a Limit stage King Powerhouse was too easy, as simple as drinking water and eating, without even burning his Immortal Energy!
"I never thought that a casual greeting would lead me to meet you, King Void River, an Invincible stage King-Level Powerhouse."
After his surprise, King Maple Radiance confidently said, "Let me reintroduce myself, I am King Maple Radiance, a Limit stage King Immortal, with strength close to Invincible stage King-Level."
"Close to Invincible stage King-Level, your strength is also not bad." Ender smiled.
King Maple Radiance laughed, "Ha, far inferior to you, King Void River."
Normally, a Powerhouse close to Invincible stage King-Level often possesses a base strength of hundreds of thousands of times that of a Peak World Master, with a gap of Heavy Treasure and two to three hundred thousand times the power of a Peak World Master compared to an Invincible stage King-Level.
If a Powerhouse close to Invincible stage King-Level has treasures or special means of self-preservation, an ordinary Invincible stage King-Level would find it difficult to kill them.
And King Maple Radiance could treat Ender, an Invincible stage King-Level Powerhouse, with such composure, clearly indicating he had treasures or special means of self-preservation, believing that even if Ender burned his Immortal Energy, he couldn't kill him.
"King Void River, did you also come to Aurora Radiance Continent to comprehend the beast god statue and Beast God stele?" King Maple Radiance inquired.
"Who comes to Aurora Radiance Continent without aiming for the beast god statue and Beast God stele?" Ender countered with a smile.
"Indeed." King Maple Radiance nodded, "However, you Humans rarely come to Aurora Radiance Continent."
Ender feigned helplessness, "Cultivating the Beast God Path requires talent, and there are very few King-level Immortal with the talent to Cultivate the Beast God Path, and most of them have better places to go."
"Yes!" King Maple Radiance sighed, "If I could go there, I wouldn't be here on Aurora Radiance Continent."
Upon hearing this, Ender understood that King Maple Radiance knew about the existence of the Ancestral God Sect and that there was Beast God Legacy within the Ancestral God Sect.
Thinking about it, it was normal. As a Limit stage King close to Invincible stage King-Level, and belonging to the Crystal Race, one of the six Pinnacle races, it wasn't strange for him to know about the Ancestral God Sect.
"King Void River, with your Invincible stage King-Level strength, you should be qualified to enter there, right?" King Maple Radiance asked curiously.
"It's not that simple." Ender shook his head slightly, "Although I am Invincible stage King-Level, compared to the newly born peerless Genius Ender in my Race, both my background and potential are still inferior. It's very difficult to enter there!"
"Ender…"
King Maple Radiance remembered. That was the newly born peerless Genius of the Human Race, ranking first on the bounty lists of the Demon race, Zerg, and Mechanical Race!
"Let's not talk about those unhappy things. I'm going to see the beast god statue, so I won't accompany you any longer." Ender stood up to bid farewell, leaving a small amount of F-grade metal as payment for the drink.
Looking at Ender's retreating figure, King Maple Radiance sighed softly, "Being in the same era as such a Genius is indeed somewhat despairing…"
