Chapter 4258: The Importance of the Chaotic Beast

Lin Tianba and the other two remained silent. Wang Changsheng's strength was evident; they had nothing to say.

With the Soul Law and a Yellow-grade Immortal Ship, this force would have no problem defending a ground city.

"Alright, Fellow Daoist Wang, you've just arrived on the Chaos Continent and immediately entered battle. Please get some good rest first! And all of you, the Chaos Beasts won't give up easily. I estimate their next counterattack will be even stronger," Nangong Yuexue said.

Yan Yu frowned. "They're going to counterattack again?"

The longer the war dragged on, the greater their chances of falling.

"You are a high-ranking member of the Chahar Tribe. After suffering such heavy losses, do you think they would just let it go?" Nangong Yuexue asked.

In a battle hundreds of thousands of years ago, Nangong Yueshuo only killed six Taiyi Golden Immortal-stage seven-colored Chaos Beasts. This time, the Chaos Beasts lost eleven Taiyi Golden Immortal-stage seven-colored Chaos Beasts, suffering immense losses, while no Taiyi Golden Immortal-stage immortals were lost on their side.

"That's true!" Yan Yu nodded gravely.

"Alright, everyone, go back and rest, and prepare for the next battle!" Nangong Yuexue instructed, sending them off to rest.

Nangong Yulang directed the True Immortals to clean up the battlefield and collect the bodies.

Nangong Yuexue returned to Yunxue Hall, took out a shimmering white Immortal Communication Mirror, and cast a spell. Nangong Yuwei's face appeared on the mirror's surface.

"How did it go? Did you repel the Chaos Beast counterattack?" Nangong Yuwei asked.

"We repelled them, but there were some deviations from your plan," Nangong Yuexue replied.

"Deviations? What kind of deviations?" Nangong Yuwei asked, puzzled.

"According to your plan, we would have paid a heavy price to repel the Chaos Beasts. However, True Monarch Taihao suddenly arrived at the front lines. He possesses a Yellow-grade Immortal Ship and has comprehended the Soul Law—a perfected Soul Law. Working with me, he destroyed the Falcon Beast, while the Ape and Hyena Beasts escaped. Our Immortal Ships, however, were destroyed by the Chaos Beasts," Nangong Yuexue reported.

"True Monarch Taihao... the Soul Law!" Nangong Yuwei was somewhat surprised. Even within the Nangong Immortal Clan, not many immortals had comprehended a Supreme Law. To comprehend a Supreme Law meant being among the elite of the Nangong Immortal Clan's elite.

"The plan remains unchanged. Have him and the other Taiyi Golden Immortals defend Hulan City. All of you, remain on standby in Hulan City and await my orders," Nangong Yuwei instructed.

"Yes, Ancestor Yuwei," Nangong Yuexue agreed, putting away the Immortal Communication Mirror.

News of Wang Changsheng comprehending the Soul Law quickly spread. All cultivators who heard this news were astonished, and the cultivators from the Wang family and its allied forces felt immensely proud.

The news of Wang Changsheng and Nangong Yuexue jointly killing the eight-colored Chaos Beast also spread, making True Monarch Taihao's name even more renowned and elevating the status of the Wang family members.

In the Chahar Mountains, on a steep peak, Qu was reporting to Fu.

"True Monarch Taihao... the Soul Law!" Fu's tone was heavy. Immortals who comprehended Supreme Laws were always priority targets for the Chaos Beasts. Allowing such immortals to grow would pose a tremendous threat to them.

"If only I had known earlier, I wouldn't have adhered to the agreement with the Yama Palace last time and would have sent someone to eliminate True Monarch Taihao!" Qu's intestines turned green with regret.

They had some cooperation with the Yama Palace, and out of respect for that partnership, they hadn't moved against True Monarch Taihao. If Wang Changsheng had been eliminated earlier, it would have reduced one threat.

"Do you know the Yama Palace's background?" Fu asked.

"The Yama Palace doesn't fear us at all. According to our internal reports, the Yama Palace is an organization that only recognizes money. Currently, we only know they have Taiyi Golden Immortals, but they don't seem to regard us highly, and they might even possess Grand Unity Golden Immortals," Qu reported.

"He must be eliminated. We cannot let him grow. I will lead the team personally," Fu declared, radiating killing intent.

Even if it means tearing up the armistice agreement with the Nangong Immortal Clan, Wang Changsheng must be eliminated.

"There's no need for that. Just send Xiong. You should prepare for the Hundred Tribes Assembly. If you can evolve four times, it will greatly enhance our tribe's strength," Qu advised.

The Chaos Beasts become even more formidable after their fourth evolution.

Fu was a key cultivation target for the Chahar Tribe. The clan hoped it would achieve a good ranking at the Hundred Tribes Assembly, thereby earning the opportunity to enter the Mother Tower for evolution.

"Also send Ya; she is also a nine-colored beast. Whether we reclaim the Hulan Mountain Range is not important; what's crucial is to kill True Monarch Taihao. This threat must be nipped in the bud. Furthermore, conscript eight-colored clan members from three tribes and have them attack Hulan City first. See if the immortals have any other trump cards or other Taiyi Golden Immortals who have comprehended Supreme Laws. This will clear the path for Xiong and Ya," Fu said.

While Chaos Beasts have powerful physical bodies, their souls are their greatest weakness. A Taiyi Golden Immortal who has comprehended the Soul Law, if allowed to grow, would undoubtedly become a formidable enemy.

He worried that the immortals might be hiding Taiyi Golden Immortals of immense power. By sending the eight-colored Chaos Beasts from allied tribes first, they could probe the immortals' trump cards and powerful methods. If the nine-colored Chaos Beasts were present from the start, the immortals' trump cards would surely be used against them.

In plain terms, the plan was to use allied forces to test the immortals' trump cards. It would be best if the immortals couldn't withstand the eight-colored Chaos Beasts.

"Good, I'll issue the order immediately. This way, even if the immortals manage to repel the eight-colored Chaos Beast attack, they'll think it's the last counterattack. They'll never expect that the nine-colored clan members are already on their way," Qu said excitedly, then took his leave to carry out the order.

"A Supreme Being! Only one who grows to maturity can be considered a Supreme Being. Many geniuses perish prematurely," Fu muttered to himself.

In Hulan City, a vast estate with a plaque bearing the three golden characters "Azure Lotus Garden" stood. Two True Immortals guarded the entrance, their faces filled with pride.

Ever since Wang Changsheng used the Soul Law against the Chaos Beasts, members of the Wang family had been assigned to better residences. Their status had risen significantly, and no force dared to underestimate them.

Azure Lotus Garden featured waterside pavilions, long corridors, gardens with strange rock formations, and intricate palaces.

In a quiet courtyard, Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, Immortal Liu Yun, Cao Yuanxing, and Cang Yao sat in a hexagonal stone pavilion, sipping tea and discussing the Dao.

Immortal Liu Yun and the others sought Wang Changsheng's insights into comprehending the Soul Law. Wang Changsheng offered them a few pointers; whether they could comprehend the Soul Law would be up to them.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, if we could obtain the corpse of a nine-colored Chaos Beast, could you refine high-grade Immortal-Slaying Arrows?" Cao Yuanxing asked.

"Not at the moment. Immortal-Slaying Arrows require two processes, which I cannot complete alone. Besides, it's already a struggle to kill an eight-colored Chaos Beast, let alone a nine-colored one," Wang Changsheng replied modestly.

With his current strength, even by using Dao arts, it would be difficult for him to kill a nine-colored Chaos Beast.

"That's true. The strength of a nine-colored Chaos Beast far surpasses that of an eight-colored one; they are high-ranking figures within the Chaos Beast tribes. If we encountered a nine-colored Chaos Beast that had evolved three times, even a perfected Soul Law wouldn't be enough, and the deterrent power of Dao arts would also be limited," Immortal Liu Yun analyzed.
