This method of extracting the power from the flesh of void beasts was impossible for someone without at least the power of five Dao Fruits.

Of course, the method of those Dao Ancestors at seven Dao Fruits and above was even more incredible, as they could refine void pills as naturally as water flowing in a river.

Compared to them, Fang Yuan felt like he should be able to work as a small craftsman and make some hard-earned money.

“Okay, one last important issue left!”

Fang Yuan put the pills away and stared at Xu Junzi with bright eyes. “What should I do if I want to continue cultivating and master the power of the Great Cosmological Abyss?”

“What should you do?” Xu Junzi smiled bitterly with desperation on his face. “There are over a thousand Dao Ancestors in this city and more than ten thousand Dao Ancestors in the whole Final Destination… If anyone could break through, I would have begged to be their disciple!”

Fang Yuan could see from his expression that he meant every word.

“If Fellow Daoist wants to see what’s in store for the future, why don’t you visit the city center!” Xu Junzi said sincerely before they parted.

“Thank you!”

Fang Yuan cupped his hands, and with a determined expression, he went to the city center.

This place did not have the residences of the peak Dao Ancestors or the city lord. Instead, there was nothing except for… steles?

A large number of black steles formed a forest. Just wandering outside allowed him to sense a strong unwillingness.

Fang Yuan walked into the stele forest and stopped in front of a stele.

“I am ‘Dao Ancestor Chaos Flame’. I was born in the North Frost Universe, and goddesses descended to congratulate me when I was born…”

At the beginning of the stele was a short introduction about the things that this Dao Ancestor Chaos Flame had been proud of in his life. The happy note changed in the second half.

“… I reached the Final Destination and cultivated for ten thousand years without the slightest bit of progress. My lifespan is approaching its end, and I am turning back into yellow dust… Hate! Hate! Hate!!!”

These three ‘hates’ condensed all the grievances of a Dao Ancestor, and it would have inevitably turned into a terrible evil if it were in the outside world.

“A Dao Ancestor was buried here…” Seeing this, Fang Yuan sighed, a little sad.

He took a few steps forward and saw the second stele. “I was a void spirit who achieved the Dao and was known as the ‘Lord of Void Spirits’. I was blessed by the heavens and was born a Dao Ancestor. I killed all of my enemies in my life and made rapid breakthroughs. Three Dao Ancestors were willing to be my subordinates… I couldn’t break through in the outside world, so I entered this Final Destination and searched hard. However, I couldn’t achieve the Great Cosmological Abyss. It’s all fate…”

“To have three Dao Ancestors as subordinates, this means that he had strength at least at five Dao Fruits… That’s almost invincible in the outside world, but he also silently fell here?”

Fang Yuan pursed his lips. His footsteps were heavier as he continued to walk further in.

“I am Daoist Seven Slaughter from the Huaxia Universe… I killed everything in the Great Cosmological Abyss and finally reached peak Dao Ancestor before killing myself. Alas! Alas!”

This person’s boundless killing intent carried in his writing even to this day.

“Peak Dao Ancestor? Someone with the power of ten Dao Fruits came from the Huaxia Universe. A true almighty even among Dao Ancestors perished here as well?”

Fang Yuan exhaled and continued his tour.

“I am Three Wood Void…”

“I am Segmented Demon Insects…”

“I am Lord of the Nine-Level Maze…”

Every stone stele represented the fall of a Dao Ancestor, and there were hundreds of stone steles here!

Such a forest of stele graves gave Fang Yuan a very terrifying feeling. The terror was enough to destroy the Dao Heart of a Dao Ancestor!

An ordinary Dao Ancestor would have probably been destroyed on the spot.

However, Fang Yuan was not an ordinary Dao Ancestor, and his Dao Heart was stronger than that of ordinary Dao Ancestors. He surpassed this feeling and saw more information.

“They should have been residents of Dao Ancestor City. Among them, thirty percent came from the Huaxia Universe. How scary…”

This point alone made him realize how strong a force the Huaxia Universe was.

Even in this Dao Ancestor City, it could hold on firmly to power.

“However… what really disturbs me is this other force—the Huxia Universe. It actually occupies twenty-five percent of the names and is practically rivals with the Huaxia Universe…”
