Shaun was utterly dumbfounded.

After all, he was the leader of the expert group, specializing in various research works.

They studied fierce beasts and also cultivators. Although his cultivation wasn't high.

But...

He considered himself to know much more than others.

Yet today, seeing the Sword Gang displayed by Fang Yu, he finally realized his own insignificance, realizing that everything he had known in the past was a joke.

This was a true cultivator.

He suddenly recalled an old tale from Tiandu Mountain, a legend that has been passed down to this day.

The Emperor Yu of Tiandu Mountain once slew a 300,000-strong skeletal army with a single sword.

What a bold spirit.

Back then, he thought it was an exaggerated rhetorical device used to praise heroes.

After all, many historical heroes were exaggerated this way.

So, he didn't believe it was truly a single sword that slew a 300,000-strong skeletal army.

Yet today...

He wholeheartedly believed it, that one sword could indeed slay 300,000!

So powerful, so magnificent!

It was overwhelming!

"You're wrong, my sword doesn't just injure it, it directly kills it!" Fang Yu's voice suddenly rang out, pulling him back to reality from his shock.

Kill it?

Is that possible?

Fang Yu continued:

"The energy of a cultivator, at a later stage, is not just energy alone but also an understanding of laws. Life is just one of these laws. Time and space are ways of representing these laws! An 80-million-year-old fierce beast is indeed formidable, but it's just strong life energy. My sword contains a powerful space law that can completely consume its body!"

Fang Yu waved casually.

The two of them flew downwards.

It wasn't long before they could clearly see the scene at the bottom of the canyon.

A vast area of two thousand mu, with a massive dinosaur-like monster lying in the middle.

Its whole body was like a stone, extremely hard and frightening.

This... was the 80-million-year-old fierce beast.

However, at this moment, the 80-million-year-old fierce beast was lying on the ground motionless.

Shaun exclaimed in shock, "Is it really dead?"

"Of course..." Fang Yu replied with a smile, "If it were still alive, now that would be strange. My sword... was enough to take its life!"

One must know.

Fang Yu used this sword, Eighth Layer, to annihilate the entire nation of Japan.

Let alone this 80-million-year-old fierce beast.

The two landed.

The ground was rugged and uneven, but this was not a challenge for the two cultivators.

Fang Yu waved casually.

A burst of purple light flew out from the chest of the fierce beast.

It was like a goose-egg-sized glow that landed in Fang Yu's hand.

Gently it fell.

"Is this the fierce beast core?"

"Yes. Haven't you seen it, having studied fierce beasts for so long?"

Shaun replied with an awkward smile, "I...I have, but I've never seen one this large. I thought I was mistaken."

"The higher the level of the fierce beast, the larger the core, just like the inner core cultivated by early-stage cultivators. To obtain more energy, they have to continuously expand the size of the core. Unlike humans, fierce beasts cannot convert their Qi Sea; they can only continuously condense their core, and over time, it becomes very large," Fang Yu explained.

"I see."

Shaun memorized Fang Yu's words, "Listening to Mr. Fang is worth more than ten years of my research."

Fang Yu just smiled and said nothing.

"Mr. Fang, don't you want the skin and skeleton of this fierce beast?"

"I don't need these."

The core was what Fang Yu truly needed; the skeletons and meat were useless to them.

"Great, I'll have it transported back for thorough research! This could significantly advance our country's research on fierce beasts."

"Sure, do as you like... I'm off now!" Fang Yu said.

"Leaving already, Mr. Fang?"

"Yes."

Shaun really wanted to stay by Fang Yu's side, knowing he could learn more from being around him.

But...

He couldn't just leave the 80-million-year-old fierce beast here; if someone discovered it and took it away, it would be a big loss.

Thinking this, Shaun had no choice but to give up.

Fang Yu still arrived outside the canyon.

He no longer paid attention to Shaun.

There were no other fierce beasts around.

This 80-million-year-old fierce beast was practically a king; who would dare stay around here?

So there was no need to worry about Shaun's safety.

Upon reaching the top, Fang Yu vanished on the spot.

...

Jiangzhou.

Inside the villa.

Fang Yu appeared in the courtyard.

He went inside to check, but Ye Wenjun and Bai Yu Xian Yao had not returned yet, and he couldn't help but sigh: those two spendthrifts, shopping as soon as they came back.

Since they hadn't returned, he decided to tend to his own matters.

Fang Yu was eager to restore the existence of the Divine Dragon.

So he took out the core and placed it in his palm for a look.

A cool sensation spread throughout his body.

This was the 80-million-year-old fierce beast core.

Fang Yu waved his hand—

"Nine Layer Tower!"

A golden Nine Layer Tower appeared before him.

Fang Yu needed the Nine Layer Tower for time conversion, to absorb all this energy.

"Little Elf, how long does it take to absorb a level consisting of the 80-million-year-old fierce beast core?"

"Reporting to the master, it will take about ten thousand years. Your cultivation is extremely high now, so it won't take as long as before!" Little Elf answered.

"Good, then help me set up the time ratio, and remember, don't disturb Mo Huajian and Xiaoyu."

"Understood."

Just after saying this.

A force absorbed Fang Yu inside.

The ninth layer of the Nine Layer Tower was the best place for the Time Law. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

As soon as Fang Yu entered the Nine Layer Tower, he placed the core in front of him.

With a thought.

A strong energy entered the core. Immediately, the core seemed to explode, releasing a formidable burst of life energy.

As the energy continued to be absorbed.

Fang Yu felt the energy inside his body increasing.

"Divine Dragon! Transformation!"

This was a transformation skill Fang Yu used when he first arrived at Ye Wenjun's house.

That was the first time Fang Yu saw the image of the Divine Dragon.

Sure enough...

Under Fang Yu's summons, the dragon-shaped mark on his wrist suddenly seemed to hear it, forming points of starlight in the air.

Wrapped in the massive energy surrounding it, it gradually took the shape of the Divine Dragon.

The initial form!

Very small, very slim, just like a little snake.

Fang Yu smiled and said, "It succeeded! Although it's small, now I can feed you well!"

Fang Yu was elated.

The Divine Dragon had reappeared, even in its initial form it was unlike before.

After all, Fang Yu's cultivation was much stronger than before, and back then there was no energy to feed it, nor could he find any.

Now, in this world, with so many fierce beasts, and those beneath Wanxian City, there's plenty for it to eat.

Roar——

Roar——

The Divine Dragon let out a cheerful sound.

"Don't get too excited yet, you're still very weak now, you need to quickly absorb energy!"

Surrounded by the immense energy, the Divine Dragon was enveloped!
