Chapter 265 The Gold-Eating Giant Beast_1
The Kongmi Dao Kun quivered all over, instinctively sensing that this man was more terrifying than the previous group.
Gifted with divine powers, it could shuttle through the void!
Its body seemed to merge within, dissolving like water, and instantly became hollow and illusory.
Luo Yueying's eyes twinkled, and she saw Chu Yuan waving his hand. The void twisted and solidified, forming a bubble that trapped the Kongmi Dao Kun.
Her manipulation of the void was far inferior to his.
"Kongmi Dao Kun, don't run away, become my Imperial Beast," Chu Yuan said, radiating an emperor's aura that could devour galaxies and dominate eight desolate places.
The Kongmi Dao Kun trembled in fear, making a whimpering sound.
"Kongmi Dao Kun, it feeds on space, creates a mysterious space inside it as it grows and is comparable to a Celestial God."
With a thought, Chu Yuan took out several space fruits and said to Kongmi Dao Kun, "Here, this is for you to eat."
As if it had smelled the delicious space fruit, Kongmi Dao Kun flapped over, seemingly forgetting its fear, and gulped the whole fruit down in one mouthful. Then its voice became cheerful.
Chu Yuan had only collected a few hundred space fruits in that small space, which were the essence of void powers.
It seemed that the Kongmi Dao Kun loved such food the most.
"Behave, and once you become my pet, you'll have good things to eat every day."
At this moment, Chu Yuan was enticing the Kongmi Dao Kun with more space fruits, as if pacifying a child.
While the Kongmi Dao Kun had lived for over a thousand years, it was still in its juvenile stage and no different from a child.
Ye Ling had prepared a high-level pet contract to gain control of Kongmi Dao Kun earlier. Now in Chu Yuan's hand, it was slowly covering the Kongmi Dao Kun's head with some hexagram light.
Kongmi Dao Kun did not resist. While eating the space fruit, it was signed into a pet contract by Chu Yuan.
"It's a real foodie."
Chu Yuan originally thought he would have to put forth more effort. He didn't expect Kongmi Dao Kun to forget to struggle as soon as it started eating, and it was very obedient.
"The talent of this Kongmi Dao Kun is strong. It is comparable to a virtual god in its juvenile phase, a True God in its growth period, and a Celestial God when it matures. However, it eats too fast."
He had barely collected a few hundred space fruits, but in the blink of an eye, more than thirty were eaten, and it was still wagging its tail happily.
"Paying some price is inevitable if I want to nurture Kongmi Dao Kun."
Chu Yuan thought to himself.
Although it seemed like he had gained the strength of a Celestial God, actually nurturing Kongmi Dao Kun to that level would cost him much effort and many divine items.
No wonder Kongmi Dao Kun was so powerful, yet those that reached adulthood were very few.
It was because they ate too much, and only treasures containing the power of space could nurture them.
"Ding! Host has completed Choice One, obtained five hundred Destiny Points, and blueprint x1 of Void Travel Wings."
Void Travel Wings: Special equipment blueprint.
The wings, a replica of Kongmi Dao Kun's species developed by a master mechanic, could be fitted with divine stones for flying in the sky. They could activate the Void Traveling skill, similar to Kongmi Dao Kun, melding within the void.
This was a crafting blueprint mimicked from Kongmi Dao Kun's species.
Chu Yuan read the introduction and saw that depending on the materials used to craft the Void Travel Wings and the quality of the divine stones embedded, the power of the wings could vary greatly.
In other words, if embedded with Imperial Divine Stones or King Divine Stones, the power that would burst forth would be entirely different.
Although Martial Artists could fly in the sky once they reached the Original Spirit Realm, it always consumed mana.
But these Void Travel Wings were different. They didn't consume one's mana but used the power of divine stones instead, and were faster. Furthermore, they had equipment skills.
Chu Yuan could already imagine how spectacular it would be if each of his soldiers was equipped with a pair of wings. It would be utterly terrifying.
Right then, Kongmi Dao Kun was wagging its tail and suddenly spat something out!
But when Chu Yuan looked at it, the object spat out was a deep blue crystal stone pulsating with the power of the void.
"Void Crystal Stones!"
Luo Yueying exclaimed in surprise, "Looks like Kongmi Dao Kun ate some fruit containing void powers. I didn't expect that it would spit out crystal stones after eating the fruit. It's truly marvelous."
After Kongmi Dao Kun swallowed the origin power of the space fruit, it condensed the power of the void into crystal stones and spat them out for Chu Yuan.
"I didn't expect that after eating the fruit, you could also spit out crystal stones. That's of great use."
Chu Yuan was pleased.
The most basic material needed for the Void Travel Wings was the Void Crystal Stone.
He was worried about how to gather a large number of Void Crystal Stones when Kongmi Dao Kun surprised him.
The more he looked at Kongmi Dao Kun, the more pleasing it looked to him.
"However, all the food that Kongmi Dao Kun eats has to contain the power of space and is too precious. Even I couldn't afford to feed it too much. It's a gold-eating beast. Unless we directly find a small space for it to devour, we wouldn't be able to feed it sufficiently. But it's hard to come by small spaces."
Chu Yuan shook his head.
"Something containing the power of space."
Luo Yueying pondered for a moment and said, "I might know where we can find some."
"Yueying, please go ahead."
"The Northern Xuan Region!" Luo Yueying said, "The Northern Xuan Region is unique in that it has a kind of stone that contains void powers. It's often found in mines and extracted to condense into Void Crystal Stones. Maybe we could bring Kongmi Dao Kun there to eat them; it could be beneficial."
"Of course, those ores can only serve as normal food. If we want Kongmi Dao Kun to grow rapidly, it will still need to devour high-quality spatial divine materials."
"Let it eat the stone."
Chu Yuan nodded, "It's feasible. Quantitative changes cause qualitative changes. Kongmi Dao Kun has a small space inside it; it can swallow anything."
After signing the pet contract, Chu Yuan could feel that there was a small space inside Kongmi Dao Kun that was as chaotic as the cosmos. If Kongmi Dao Kun reached the Celestial God state, it would transform into a small world where living beings could exist.
Kongmi Dao Kun just needed to pass the most difficult growth stage and reach adulthood. Then it would be a formidable creature that not even a dozen Celestial Gods working together could harm.
"I know a few people in the Northern Xuan Region who may be able to help you," Luo Yueying said.
Although Luo Yueying had envy for Kongmi Dao Kun, she knew that she couldn't afford to keep this gold-eating beast. It would be extremely difficult, even harder than becoming a Celestial God, to raise it to adulthood.
So she decided to help Chu Yuan this time and further develop the relationship between their sects and nations.
"Alright, in that case, I'll take a trip to the Northern Xuan Region. Thank you, Yueying." Chu Yuan said.
"It's no trouble."
Luo Yueying smiled.
All of a sudden, Kongmi Dao Kun flapped about.
"Oh? You say you can take us to the Northern Xuan Region?" Chu Yuan could more or less understand the general idea of Kongmi Dao Kun's simpler thoughts, so he said, "Yueying, we've ridden the Sky Warship before, and we haven't ridden Kongmi Dao Kun yet. This time, let's travel astride the Kun and see the colors within the void."
