Chapter 559: 92, Dream Snake
Nine-colored Beast Breath.
The top-secret cultivation method of the Great Yu Imperial Family, not passed outside their lineage, was also extremely difficult to cultivate.
Mutant beasts were the favored children of Eternal Night, growing strong on the mystical powers within Eternal Night. The Eternal Night aura created by the Nine-colored Beast Breath cultivation method was especially thick, capable of turning the practitioner into an ideal lure for mutant beasts.
This was akin to cultivators who absorbed the Essence of Heaven and Earth. If they sensed an exceptionally pure and dense Essence, they would likely suspect the emergence of Heaven and Earth Treasures and naturally wish to investigate.
Furthermore, mutant beasts trusted Eternal Night the most.
This cultivation method also required the influence of the Inheritance Stele within the Upper Cave Heaven of the previous dynasty to learn.
"Indeed, it came in very handy."
Lin Yue's lips curled into a smile as he released an incredibly thick aroma of Eternal Night from his body, attracting mutant beasts from all directions in a frenzy.
However, most of these mutant beasts were at the level of Five Elements and Four Symbols at most, unable to approach him, and he casually slaughtered them on the spot with the fluctuations of the Heaven and Earth Law he could draw upon.
Yet, they still charged at him fearlessly, heedless of death, like moths to a flame.
"How terrifying, what exactly about Eternal Night attracts these mutant beasts?"
Lin Yue couldn't help but sigh, growing more curious about the connection between Eternal Night and the mutant beasts.
For mutant beasts at the Beast King level, which couldn't be killed merely by casually drawing upon the fluctuations of Heaven and Earth Law, he stimulated Mysterious God Wanxiang to form tornadoes that easily tore those Beast Kings apart.
The Mysterious God Wanxiang, a Semi-Divine Artifact adept at constructing various scenes, was more than enough to deal with Beast Kings even though he could only activate a part of its might.
If one lacked sufficient strength, utilizing this cultivation method was akin to seeking death.
He dared to be so unreserved because he had enough life-preserving abilities and he was within a thousand miles of the Great Yong Divine Formation, where at most only Beast Kings would appear.
"It just consumes quite a bit."
Lin Yue felt the continuous depletion of his Primordial Power, "Fortunately, I don't have to hold on for too long, the Dawn Army should be making their move soon, right?"
Through the vast night, he could already see the expanse of the exotic beast ocean in the distance.
These were the mutant beast hordes from the Northern Ridge Mountains, with those at the Four Symbols level numbering in the tens of millions and over ten thousand Beast Kings, all immense in size. They were densely spread over hills and dales, advancing without care in a surge as frenzied as a tide, enough to scare away any Great Cultivator.
Even Saints might feel intimidated.
After all, releasing one's Inner Heaven and Earth Domain also consumed mental energy, and even if undaunted by so many mutant beasts, it would be hard to slaughter them all.
Lin Yue didn't even dare to contemplate it. Utilizing Divine Artifacts and Semi-Divine Artifacts was already a tremendous drain. Even if he could wipe out a large swath in one hit, he couldn't kill them all, even if he depleted all his Immortal Pills.
"Fortunately, I just need to kite them."
Lin Yue looked at the vast expanse of the exotic beast ocean and clicked his tongue in amazement.
When using the Nine-colored Beast Breath cultivation method, one couldn't move and had to stand still, anchored within Eternal Night, to transform into the exceedingly rich Eternal Night aura.
Seeing that the nearest wave of the exotic beast ocean was already close,
Lin Yue immediately stopped the cultivation method. The dark and profound aura on his body began to dissipate, and soon after, he entered a Virtual State and began to penetrate the Void and depart.
The exotic beast ocean still roared, chasing after the lingering aura on his body.
After a while, the aura completely vanished.
And the exotic beast ocean paused, slowing down, with some of them still unable to stop their momentum, crashing into their own kind.
Having lost their target so suddenly, they were momentarily confused, gradually awakening from their intense longing.
Lin Yue consecutively teleported to a location two thousand miles away before starting the cultivation method again. After a moment, he released a strong Eternal Night aura once more.
The exotic beast ocean, which had regained its senses and started to scatter, running back to the Northern Ridge Mountains, once again fell into frenzy.
Again, they turned into a surging tide, rushing toward the source of the aura.
"Hm, that's about enough."
Lin Yue gazed at the exotic beast ocean that swept over once more, then cast a glance several hundred miles northward, at the thousand-mile limit of the Great Yong Divine Formation. Holy Beasts couldn't resist the repelling force of the Great Yong Divine Formation and could only howl anxiously beyond that boundary.
However, from the Holy Beast level onwards, the craving for Eternal Night's aura was not so extreme, so they were not as frantic and remained relatively rational.
"Drawing them out this far should be sufficient."
Lin Yue stopped running the cultivation method, and after the aura faded, he vanished without a trace, heading back to the Northern Ridge Mountains.
With his speed of penetrating the Void, and without losing his way in Eternal Night, the mere thousands of miles took only a short while, and he returned to the Northern Ridge Mountains.
"Oh? Is it over already?"
At this moment, the Array that had covered hundreds of miles of the Northern Ridge was completely gone.
The Dawn Army was stationed in place, with many soldiers gathering scattered parts of Demon Clan corpses around them.
"That was quite fast."
Lin Yue revealed a hint of a smile and immediately penetrated the Void, directly entering the large central tent.
"Senior brother," Zuo Tianchui, seeing Lin Yue appear inside the tent, couldn't help but say, "Have all the mutant beasts really been drawn away?"
"Yes, it should take them a while to come back," Lin Yue nodded slightly.
"Nine-colored Beast Breath is indeed powerful," Zuo Tianchui couldn't help but exclaim, then shook his head and said, "It's a pity that it can only be learned in the Upper Cave Heaven of the former dynasty, with the help of that Inheritance Stele. Our Dawn Platform has always wanted to learn it, but there was no way."
"This cultivation method is somewhat against the heavens and can easily do harm to oneself as well as others. It's not a bad thing that it's not widely disseminated," Lin Yue said casually.
