A Tier 1 Jie Beast is the weakest existence among the World Beasts. Although it can also devour the Small Universe Origin and possesses the basic means of escape through splitting, its own strength is very limited.
World Beasts themselves are not skilled in combat; their strengths lie more in their life-saving methods and survival abilities. After Qin Hao resolved the soul impact, the dozens of arms attacking Qin Hao were blocked by a burst of five-colored light, which didn't even shake Qin Hao's Divine Body.
Looking at the weak World Beast before him, Qin Hao was still somewhat disappointed. He entered the Dark Land hoping to find a relatively mature World Beast for research. On one hand, it was to comprehend the Source of Destruction, and on the other, it was to study the World Beast's body structure and life to break through the 100,000-fold gene level.
The life structure of a World Beast is very special; there is a 'world' within its body that can resist all forms of energy and devour everything, which is why it can consume Small Universes. The World Beast's soul is hidden deep within this 'world,' and to completely kill a World Beast, one must first break through the 'world' inside its body.
The difficulty is even greater than breaking through a True God's Small Universe.
In addition to its unique soul, the World Beast's life structure diagram is also very strange, composed of 100,000 light spots. Each light spot is a super-miniature World Beast, and that super-miniature World Beast itself is an extremely complex life structure diagram.
From this little bit of information alone, one can see the difference in World Beasts and their different life levels. The distribution of 100,000 light spots very likely represents the architecture of the 100,000-fold gene level. Although Qin Hao has not yet witnessed it, he already has some conjectures in his mind.
Moreover, even if not entirely accurate, studying it could help Qin Hao advance further on the God Power Route. After all, Qin Hao's focus is more on the study of special life forms, largely for reference.
Most life forms in the Primordial Universe are an interpretation of the Source of Life, while World Beasts, as an interpretation of Destruction, also possess characteristics of life, which is very peculiar. This is very similar to how Qin Hao felt when he nurtured the Destroyer clone.
Destruction, born from life, though opposing, achieves a certain unity. This is a peculiar state, like yin and yang, interdependent yet opposing.
The existence of the Primordial Universe and World Beasts in the Universe Sea should be similar; life and destruction always exist. No matter what life form, there will always be a day when it moves towards destruction.
Perhaps this time, under the influence of Qin Hao and others, the Primordial Universe will avoid destruction, but tens of thousands of Reincarnation Era later, new World Beasts will appear, still bringing all life and universes in the Universe Sea to an end.
His thoughts stopped, and the World Beast's attack also ceased. After countless attacks yielded no results, the World Beast had already developed the idea of escaping.
Although the five-colored feather robe on Qin Hao was not a Supreme Treasure, under the maintenance of Qin Hao's endless divine power, even ordinary Supreme Treasures could not compare.
Unless the opponent could instantly release energy exceeding the total divine power of Qin Hao's Divine Body, it would be impossible. And in this Dark Land, perhaps only a Sixth-Order Boundary Beast or a World Beast King in its growth period could achieve that.
A World Beast King, upon entering its growth period, possesses the energy of a billion World Beasts, making it even stronger than an Eternal True Body, an invincible existence in the Universe Sea.
However, there is still a very long time before the World Beast King enters its growth period. During this time, Qin Hao can fully grow to a level comparable to an Eternal True Body.
Qin Hao even calculated that once he reached the 100,000-fold gene level and broke through to the True God realm, his strength might reach the level of an Eternal True God.
After all, upon entering the True God realm, the Ten Great Laws Fusion Laws will advance further, and the Water Law Origin, Five Elements Laws Origin, and Source of Life previously comprehended will all make some progress.
Coupled with the soon-to-be-mastered Source of Destruction, Qin Hao would be able to contend even against an Eternal True God.
Thinking of this, Qin Hao's Divine Body converged, rapidly forming a cage in his hand composed of 365 tiny stars. After the cage appeared, a powerful suction force directly enveloped the World Beast within it.
The power of Devour quickly pulled the World Beast into the cage. Once inside, the World Beast began to constantly impact the space within the cage. When that proved ineffective, ninety-nine black-edged, gold-boned patterns appeared on the World Beast's skin, followed by a 'boom,' and its body rapidly split into ninety-nine streaks of light, each flying at super-high speed in different directions.
However, having already entered Qin Hao's Star Constellation Imprisonment, the ninety-nine streaks of light continuously impacted within the cage, trying to find an escape route, but none succeeded, and they eventually converged again.
"Creature of the Universe Sea, release me quickly, or you will become an enemy of the World Beasts of the Dark Land and face an attack from a million World Beasts!" Knowing that it could not escape, the World Beast had no choice but to threaten.
A million World Beasts in the Dark Land – if they truly acted, not to mention Qin Hao, even a Void True God would have to deal with them cautiously, and might even fall.
However, when Qin Hao set up the Star Constellation Imprisonment, he not only applied divine power but also soul power, making it a mixed secret method. Inside the cage, it was like being inside a Small Universe.
The World Beast could not destroy the cage's divine power, could not escape, and could not transmit soul consciousness; mental transmission was also impossible. This was also to guard against mental communication between World Beasts.
"You can try!" Qin Hao said indifferently, not caring about the World Beast's threat in the slightest. Now, everything was under control, and this World Beast before him was merely his plaything.
What he had to do next was to enslave and control the World Beast through soul enslavement. He also planned to cultivate this World Beast to Tier 5, allowing it to comprehend the mysteries of Destruction, which would provide him with a reference.
Cultivating it to Tier 6 depended on opportunity, destiny, and even luck. However, Tier 5 was still possible. If he helped it hunt a few World Beasts in the early stages, allowing it to devour and evolve, and enabling the World Beast to consciously fight, it could gain an advantage and a head start.
After it fulfilled its mission, Qin Hao would not care about its life or death.
Thinking this, a spiritual light directly pierced through Qin Hao's body from his sea of consciousness and entered the World Beast's body. It swiftly passed through the 'world' within the World Beast, entered the depths of the 'world,' and shot into the World Beast's soul.
Facing a World Beast with extremely strong soul methods, outsiders might find it very troublesome to enslave, perhaps even unable to withstand the World Beast's soul impact. But for Qin Hao, it was very easy.
His soul power merged into the World Beast's soul, like a seed, directly enslaving the World Beast.
