Chapter 260: Hydra - 260
There was not much Heaven could do to deal with the Yao Mun situation besides ordering Tian Ren to find Guang Fu. Most other courses of action would be too direct.
After telling Tian Ren to make sure the Heaven sect was watching the world, Heaven turned his attention to other matters, while keeping a bit of his attention on Yao Mun.
Heavens usual job was to keep watch over the Heaven world, the beast world, and all the other worlds in between. Although it sounded easy, it was quite difficult.
Heaven was barely able to fully focus on each of the worlds, but he could not look with too much depth due to just how big the worlds were.
Aside from those worlds, Heaven also needed to pay attention to the five worlds of the other races. Luckily, they had yet to move on to other worlds.
Most of Heaven's attention was on the Final world, the planet where all the planets lead to. Its importance is second only to the Heaven world and the beast world.
On the final world, it seemed as though another war was brewing. Although the existence of Heaven was known, it was also known that he could not directly interfere in most matters.
This gave courage to not only the beasts, but the supreme beasts of the beast world.
As more time passed since the first galactic assembly, the beasts and the supreme beasts, as well as the Heavenborns, slowly paid less attention to the treaty. It had been a long time.
Still, there was nothing Heaven wanted to do or could do, so he sat back on his throne and continued to watch the worlds.
In the beast world, a group of supreme beasts stood behind tempered glass and looked inside of a room.
The supreme beasts were in humanoid form, but different, non-humanoid features could be seen on each one of them.
On one, there were gills. On another, a colorful pair of wings sprouted out her back. On another, cat ears were on top of her head.
They all stared silently at the creature behind the glass, in a room of metal so strong that even they could barely affect it with their full strength.
These supreme beasts were unknown to nearly everyone in Heavens galaxy.
Right now, they stood in a secret base, thousands of feet below the surface of a desolate area in one of the 98 planets that lead to the final world.
They were the secret research squad of the supreme beasts. Each and every one of them had a cultivation of 10th level soul formation.
Besides one. He stood in front of all of the supreme beasts, his aura undeniably greater.
"So this is the creature that will defeat Bi Chong." He said to himself while looking at his reflection on the glass.
Although Bi Chongs name had once been a secret, through the years, he had become more known and his name was revealed, although his exact identity remained unknown.
"Yes sir. If he cannot, then no supreme beast can." One of the soul formation realm supreme beasts behind him answered.
"Do you understand just how much this means?" The man asked.
"Yes sir. He will grow to be the first supreme beast emperor." The same supreme beast answered.
"Indeed. Then you know that he must remain a complete secret until he grows strong?" The man asked.
"Of course, sir." The same supreme beast responded.
"Then… you understand why you have to die, right?" The man spoke.
Before any of the supreme beasts could react, they were hit by a single fire arrow each, burning to ashes in a second.
They had no ability to resist in front of Chin Hong, a 10th level void traversing supreme beast, and the 5th strongest supreme beast alive.
"Sorry." The supreme beast mumbled as he walked around to the right side of the glass window and entered a door.
That door led to the room that the young supreme beast was in. Even the powerful supreme beast, Chin Hong, couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the child.
On the floor, playing with some toys was a supreme beast named the nine headed hydra.
The nine headed hydra's lower body was similar to that of a dragons without the wings. Each of the nine heads was a different color, representing a different affinity.
The nine headed hydra in front of Chin Hong had nine affinities.
Nine affinities.
"Nine affinities." Chin Hong couldn't help but mutter to himself.
The idea was insane. Before the nine headed hydra's birth, there was no record of any beast, heavenborn, or supreme beast with nine affinites.
It was an incredible sight. The hydra's affinities were, Fire, symbolized by a long red neck with a red head at the end, water, with a blue color, earth, with a brown color, air, with a green color, light, with a bright yellow color, darkness, with a deep dark color, poison, with a purple color, lightning, with a lightning blue color, and ice, with an icy blue color.
Even more, aside from the hydra's affinites, the nine headed hydra had nine minds. Each of them was slightly different in personality, but they could still be considered as one entity.
As the nine headed hydra took notice of Chin Hong, he looked over. Each of the nine heads swayed as they starred at the powerful man. The hydra barely reach Chin Hong's knees.
Despite the hydra's young age, there was hardly a hint of childishness in it when faced with another being.
Only when alone would it act its age.
"Hello young master Lernean. I have come to see you again." Chin Hong spoke with a soft bow.
The nine headed hydra, Lernean, waved one of his four legs, although it seemed to be moving weirdly.
Although it was likely that the young hydra could talk, he never spoke. The supreme beasts figured it was a mind thing. Having nine differing personalities was sure to have some side effects.
Such could be seen in the way the hydra moved. It was as if nine people were trying to walk with one body at the same time.
Chapter 261: Secret Facility - 261
As Lernean, the nine headed hydra, looked at Chin Hong, Chin Hong continued to speak.
"The initial tests are finished. We would like you to come back to the main beast world and enter the secret training facility. There, you will become truly strong. Although cultivation has become different, it is not impossible for you to become the strongest under heaven." Chin Hong said.
He did his best to convince Lernean that what he said was the best course of action.
Since cultivation had changed and become more difficult, along with other changes, the cultivation of most of the strongest people in the worlds had stagnated.
Both Tian Ren and Bi Chong had remained at the tenth level of the space shattering realm since the cultivation change.
Even with immortal king 10 meridians, breaking into the lesser dao creation realm was not easy. In fact, it was still insanely difficult.
For both Bi Chong and Tian Ren, it would probably take around a million years, if not more.
Most of the people in the Zhou galaxy that had broken through had at least immortal king meridians, along with millions of years of unprogressed cultivation.
Tens of thousands of space shattering cultivators at the 10th level had risen and fallen, with only a few remaining alive for more than 50 million years.
Just in Zhou Fan's last cultivation session, 250 million years passed. It was an incomprehensible amount of time. Even for space shattering cultivators.
Of course, someone with immortal king meridians without providence being born was something incalculably rare.
If a person of the elf race, for example, was to be alive with the elf race's providence since Zhou Fan left, the odds of another person with immortal king rank meridians being born was 1 in 100.
Perhaps 1 in 10 if the elf race reproduced as fast as they could. That's how rare immortal king meridians are.
In the Zhou galaxy, 99% of space shattering level 10 cultivators had providence.
Having immortal rank meridians was already 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000, or one in a quadrillion. In less talented races that reproduced faster, it would be closer to one in a hundred quadrillion.
Although more than a hundred trillion beings could be born in a galaxy in one year, many of them would die. Even with immortal king rank meridians, reaching the pinnacle of the galaxy would prove extremely difficult without a sufficient background.
How many of the 100 trillion beings had a significant background? Probably less than ten thousand of them.
All in all, if ten 10th level space shattering cultivators reached that level in a million years, it was an extremely good million years.
Unfortunately, that would be on the scale of an entire galaxy. In the Zhou Galaxy, most of all life was living in the Zhou solar system. Although some planets had been colonized, they were few in number since the planets outside the Zhou solar system and the earth solar system were much worse in quality.
Therefore, it would be lucky if a trillion beings were born in one year in the Zhou galaxy.
Bi Chong and Tian Ren, along with Heaven himself, had no idea just how big and wide the universe actually is.
After being in thought for a moment, Lernean nodded his heads. He had accepted Chin Hong's advice.
"Thank you, young master. Please follow me into the teleportation formation." Chin Hong said as he walked outside of the room.
Lernean followed and they soon came to an array. It was a teleportation array. The only space shattering supreme beast had built it specially for the young hydra.
Chin Hong stepped onto it, followed by the young hydra. With the infusion of some Qi, the array activated and they disappeared.
In an instant, they appeared deep underground in another base. This base was on the beast world. It was much deeper and more hidden than the last base.
Right now, they were in an enclosed room. Chin Hong and the young hydra exited the room, greeted by a long, furnished, carpeted hallway.
It was as if they had entered a luxury hotel.
Lernean, who was only three years old and had only known the other base, looked around in wonder.
Each of his heads paid attention to different things. After five minutes of walking, Lernean and Chin Hong entered a wide open space. There, a group of young beasts stood. In front of them was a man whose aura did not lose out to Ching Hong.
The different young supreme beasts watched the beast in humanoid form as he read them a story.
Chin Hong whispered to the young Hydra.
"Sit down and listen to the story. It is based on a true event."
The hydra nodded and silently joined the group. Another stare fell on him, but the young hydra did not notice it.
"Tian Ren, the first Heavenborn, raised his lightning sword to the sky and swung down upon Bi Chong. Numerous lightning strikes followed the attack. Still, Bi Chong did not lose out. His attack collided with Tian Ren's… In the end, the battle's result could be called a tie." The man said as he finished the book and closed it.
Although the young Hydra had only arrived for the last bit of the story, he had been entranced, and all nine of his heads stayed still.
The other young beasts around him did not seem to be any less entranced than the young hydra as the story finished.
"Now, you all go train. There is a new member here." The man spoke as he looked at the young hydra.
The young beast's gazes followed as they weirdly looked at his nine heads.
"Now!" Yelled the man, getting the young beasts to scramble to the other side of the large, open room.
As the man reached Lernean, his demeanor changed greatly.
"Hello young master. I have heard much about you. Please, follow me as I tell you about this place." He said with a smile on his face.
It was as if he was talking to his boss's child.
