第1574章 道一化墨杀

The essence of the divine cat, Pippa, was truly boundless. Under the influence of the dark smoke, it persisted for thirty-three days without showing any signs of weakening. Through the absorption by the dark smoke, Eland had nearly mastered all aspects of Pippa's medicinal properties.

Pointing coldly at the orange cat within the dark cloud, the dark smoke instantly transformed into a giant cauldron. Although only its shape changed, the restrictions on Pippa seemed to increase tenfold. The agile and vigorous orange cat appeared as if its limbs were bound, no longer able to move swiftly. It could only slowly attempt to break through.

The surrounding yellowish-orange light around it was also unstable, swaying like a breeze, seemingly about to collapse at any moment.

The newly born dark smoke cauldron stood in the expanse beyond the Yellow-Emptiness Realm. Eland personally took charge and first invited the Eternal Senior to observe.

Then he wrote a scroll of illusory scriptures with flowing brushstrokes and tossed it into the dark smoke cauldron. This scroll was the initial creation chapter from his previous life, obtained from Shan Hua.

The initial creation of the mountains and seas was an experience by the Sage of Great Simplicity after observing the Sages of Mount Lianshan and Returning to the Sea, creating the divine realm from nothingness. It contained both the principles of mountains and seas and the path of Great Simplicity.

The foundation of the dark smoke cauldron was precisely "Great Simplicity" and "Eternal."

Under Eland's guidance, these foundations were further strengthened, though not as powerful as if done by two great experts themselves. It was equivalent to a certain degree of "borrowing."

With the new dark smoke cauldron's power instantly expanding several times over, the cauldron became solid and lifelike, seemingly transforming from illusion to reality.

The dark smoke filled the entire furnace, completely suppressing the last trace of yellowish-orange light.

Facing this enhanced version of the dark smoke cauldron, even a divine being like Pippa could only be suppressed!

The new dark smoke cauldron was born in the Yellow-Emptiness Realm but had already begun to exceed its boundaries due to the strengthening by two primal forces.

Fortunately, Eland was there as the host, able to withdraw the support of Eternal and Great Simplicity at any time. Otherwise, after devouring Pippa, it might have swallowed the entire Yellow-Emptiness Realm.

"Like trying to skin a tiger, but we have no choice."

Eland's trump card wasn't just the dark smoke cauldron. With a mental command, countless black dots appeared in various parts of the Yellow-Emptiness Realm and converged towards the expanse beyond it.

These black dots were only visible to Eland—his Dao One Worms!

"Dark Smoke, ultimately an artificial creation by others with many uncontrollable factors and hidden dangers."

"But the Dao One Worm is truly created from nothingness, promoted by me. Pippa can devour White Front, Dao One can devour the mountains and seas. Dark Smoke resembles the Great Void..."

"Dao One can transform into Dark Smoke!"

While the dark smoke cauldron was focused on refining the divine cat within it, the Dao One Worms were also attempting to erode and assimilate it.

Eland could see that their progress in assimilation was extremely slow but not entirely useless. He shared his insights on the dark smoke with these worms, slightly accelerating their assimilation process.

However, what the Dao One Worms saw of Dark Smoke wasn't exactly the same as Eland's perception.

Thus, Eland's assistance had only a minimal effect.

"Still, it is a success if we can start."

Eland continued to command the dark smoke cauldron to focus on dealing with Pippa, giving more space for the Dao One Worms' erosion.

Indeed, Dark Smoke did not disappoint. The black smoke completely enveloped and devoured the last remnants of Pippa.

As expected, after devouring Pippa entirely, Dark Smoke didn't stop there. It expanded further, attempting to encompass the entire expanse beyond the Yellow-Emptiness Realm.

Fortunately, Eland had prepared for this and promptly withdrew the support from Eternal and Great Simplicity.

Without their primal force backing, the swollen dark smoke instantly returned to its original form. The disturbance ceased.

Under Eland's watchful eye, it finally calmed down.

The dark clouds swirled, expelling a few strands of yellowish-orange light that transformed into a golden medicinal pill.

"This is Pippa's intercepted life essence."

Eland's eyes lit up with an unusual color as he played with the pill for a long time. Instead of swallowing it, he crushed and scattered it across the Yellow-Emptiness Realm.

That day, a brilliant sunset filled half the sky in the Yellow-Emptiness Realm, persisting until the moon rose high into the night.

From that moment on, the cultivation of life energy in the Yellow-Emptiness Realm subtly changed.

The creatures within the realm were unaware of this change as the quantity and quality of life energy had not significantly altered.

"Only when calamity strikes will the difference become apparent."

"Even if I unleash a world-destroying disaster, eliminating all living beings except those named on the Immortal Register, it would only take about three years for the realm to recover from silence back to vitality under natural restoration."

Eland's eyes reflected the terrifying recovery of the Yellow-Emptiness Realm with intercepted life essence.

"Intercepted... intercepted."

"Where does this intercepted life energy come from?"

Eland looked beyond the Yellow-Emptiness Realm. He sensed a faint, ethereal presence of life energy coming like divine music, but it arrived without any signs and could not be traced back to its source.

After much contemplation, Eland had an inkling.

"It is not stolen from other possibilities; rather, it is intercepted directly from the Dao itself."

"From the flow of [Dao gives birth to Dao, Dao perishes]..."

"As long as the Dao continues to exist and does not fall into a state of extinction, this Pippa's intercepted life can continuously draw upon new vitality."

"This is what makes the divine cat so extraordinary..."

Considering all the other medicinal herbs in the Sage Emperor's Garden, Eland had a clearer understanding of the formidable strength of that proud Sage Emperor.
