C475 Sunsorrow of the Giant Beast!

"Sunsorrow of the giant beast!"

Mo Yan gazed intently at the "Spawn of Chaos," and after a long moment of scrutiny, he suddenly let out a low shout.

Even someone of his noble stature couldn't suppress a look of envy at that moment.

Inside the Crucible of Evil, Yu Yuan harnessed various psionic powers to forge his body with Evil Body Refining techniques, advancing from the middle stage of the Golden Sanctum to Veil Breaking. Yet, Mo Yan had not felt such envy.

Indeed, even upon discovering that Yu Yuan had mastered the Crucible of Evil, he hadn't been as vexed as he was now.

However, once he truly grasped what Yu Yuan was undertaking, and when he uttered the words "Sunsorrow of the giant beast," his jealousy was undeniable.

He envied the radiant arc lights bursting forth from the Abyssal Leviathan!

That was the so-called "Sunsorrow of the cosmic giant beast," the quintessence of the cosmic giant beast's vitality!

It was the storied Sunsorrow, imbued with the miracle of creation, applicable to all forms of life, and endowed with boundless mystical properties!

The cosmic giant beasts, gliding through the extraterrestrial Star River, were said to be among the first intelligent lifeforms born from the initial cleaving of chaos.

The cosmic giant beasts predated humans, the Everlands' evilkind, and the Star-Spawned Terrors by untold ages.

Before the stars had clustered into galaxies, cosmic giant beasts lay dormant in the cosmos, breathing in and out, assimilating the strange powers of the starry heavens to sustain and enhance their wisdom.

Some even speculated that the cosmic giant beasts were the progenitors of many forms of intelligent life!

Legend has it that the so-called evilkind of the Everlands might have originated from a cosmic giant beast that inadvertently entered this realm, leaving behind a Life Seed that, nurtured by this world, evolved over eons into its current form!

Tales of the cosmic giant beast are varied among all intelligent lifeforms.

Yet, every advanced species, including Sky Fiends, Shura, humans, and evilkind, have alluded to the cosmic giant beast as the primordial lifeform.

It might even be the root of many of today's diverse creatures!

Through the passage of innumerable eras, the cosmic giant beast has become so scarce that it now dwells solely within the realm of myth.

This extraordinary item is so rare that even the cultivators of the Everlands and the Unbound masters deep within the Star River might never encounter it in their lifetimes. The vitality essence of this peculiar life form is brimming with infinite wonders, coveted by all intelligent beings as a most treasured delicacy!

Even Mo Yan, upon realizing that the arc light was none other than the vitality essence of the Abyssal Leviathan, was overcome with such envy at Yu Yuan's actions that he felt like spitting blood in frustration.

"A giant beast? That hideous, revolting old man is actually a cosmic giant beast?"

"He's a cosmic giant beast? Impossible! With his grotesque appearance and savage bloodlust, how could he possibly be a cosmic giant beast?"

"You never know. When he first started following Yu Yuan, he might well have been just an odd fish!"

"Only a cosmic giant beast would be subjected to suppression by totem poles. How else could he receive such treatment?"

Individuals like Shi Si and Hu Tianyang, who were fortunate enough to be at the seabed, finally grasped the true nature of the emaciated elder upon hearing the term "giant beast." The cosmic giant beast, a legendary creature rumored to swallow stars whole and as massive as the sun and moon, was none other than the gaunt old man!

As Hu Tianyang and others reeled from the revelation of the cosmic giant beast, prodigies like Lin Yue, Hou Tianzhao, and Qi Nandou took note of the words following "Sunsorrow."

"Sunsorrow? The Sunsorrow of a giant beast?"

Lin Yue of the Colddeath Sect was thunderstruck, his blood-red eyes ablaze with fervent longing.

"The Sunsorrow of a giant beast..."

Hou Tianzhao of the Ruby Hand licked his lips, savoring the thought as if it were a fine delicacy, his face alight with pleasure. "What a shame, such a shame. I've already advanced beyond Veil Breaking to Subtlety. The dark arts of my Ruby Hand cannot fully harness the Sunsorrow of a giant beast."

He sighed with regret, then cast a significant glance at Lin Yue. Lin Yue, hailing from the Colddeath Sect, could always reap unimaginable benefits from the Sunsorrow of the giant beast, regardless of his level of cultivation.

If someone like Lin Yue were to acquire the Sunsorrow from a giant beast and make a breakthrough, he could refine his Lunar Spirit and easily progress through the stages of the phantom and Solar Spirit.

With the Sunsorrow's aid, many of Colddeath's intricate dark arts could be mastered to their utmost potential!

Indeed, the founding master of Colddeath once envisioned using the Sunsorrow to forge a Solar Spirit.

"What is the Sunsorrow?"

Yan Lu was utterly bewildered. As Mo Yan's shout triggered a frenzied curiosity among the crowd, they couldn't resist turning to Fei Yi for answers.

Shi Si and Hu Tianyang also eagerly awaited his explanation.

"The vital essence of a cosmic giant beast is nothing short of miraculous! Beyond the Star River, this essence, known as the Giant Beast Sunsorrow, is imbued with the true power of life!" Fei Yi, visibly thrilled, spoke with a sense of wonder, "Yu Yuan has likely had his sights set on that cosmic giant beast for quite some time. His true objective must be the Giant Beast Sunsorrow!"

"It contains life essence?" Yan Lu was still puzzled.

"Let me put it this way, the Giant Beast Sunsorrow can be refined by cultivators at the Veil Breaking level. For cultivators, the infusion of Sunsorrow into the little world of their middle elixir field can result in a profound and transformative metamorphosis!" Fei Yi inhaled deeply before adding, "And this is just one of the myriad marvels the Giant Beast Sunsorrow can perform!"

"Ah!"

Yan Lu, Shi Si, Hu Tianyang, and the others finally grasped the wonder of the Sunsorrow.

To think that the creation of a Vitality Profound Gate was merely one of its many applications—how extraordinarily rare must this substance be?

"Eh!"

Inside the Crucible of Evil, Yu Yuan was practicing Evil Body Refining, absorbing streaks of arc light. Observing the Sunsorrow of the giant beasts descending into the crucible, his eyes revealed a hint of surprise.

The vital essence of the cosmic giant beast shone resplendently, like a divine rainbow or a gleaming core of brilliance.

Yet upon entering the Crucible of Evil and upon closer inspection, he discovered that the so-called "Giant Beast Sunsorrow" was not a liquid at all.

Instead, it was a crystalline solid, resembling ancient amber that had solidified over countless millennia!

The essence of the Abyssal Leviathan's vitality, which he had absorbed into the bottom of the cauldron, had now crystallized into pieces of light yellow amber, emitting a peculiar pine fragrance. Just a whiff of this scent was enough to make one feel refreshed and at ease, as if every pore in the body was opening up in relaxation.

Sunsorrow was exceedingly rare, and in his past life, Yu Yuan had only heard of it but never witnessed it firsthand. He knew that Sunsorrow from a giant beast could refine the little world within the Profound Gate. Since he hadn't embarked on the path of cultivation back then, he hadn't been particularly interested.

Now, seeing the Sunsorrow at the bottom of the cauldron for the first time, Yu Yuan was astonished. "With my Veil Breaking cultivation, if I can use the Giant Beast Sunsorrow to nourish the little world of vitality, my practice of Evil Body Refining will surely reach unparalleled heights. I might even surpass those notorious figures from the Terror Claws' history, known for their formidable physical conditioning!"

Determined, Yu Yuan halted the drifting of the Crucible of Evil, focusing on gathering as much Sunsorrow as possible.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

While everyone's attention was fixed on the Abyssal Leviathan and the spattering arc light, a figure that had been motionless for a long time suddenly darted across the seabed. With a thunderous roar, the emerald flames surged with renewed ferocity. The green sparks, previously scattered by the Bone-Devouring Shuttle, now flew up from the seabed's sediment and seamlessly reintegrated.

"What is she up to?" Qi Nandou was baffled. He had assumed that Lin Zhuyun, possessed by the Sky Fiend, would continue to wait out the confrontation between Yu Yuan and the Abyssal Leviathan. She had been expected to bide her time until a victor emerged between them.

No one anticipated that she, who had been observing impassively as the Bone-Devouring Shuttle entered the Spawn of Chaos, would abruptly take action after the Sunsorrow began to overflow. Even more perplexing was her choice of target—it wasn't the Spawn of Chaos, Yu Yuan, or the Abyssal Leviathan. It was Mo Yan!
