Alas, this method is difficult to break—truly difficult to break.
The Beast Emperor is clearly dealing with the ordinary Innate Beings first, leaving us, the hard bones, for last.
Even though I see this perfectly clearly, I have no suitable countermeasure.
Hongjun sighed repeatedly. This time, he was genuinely at a loss.
It was impossible for him to directly explain these matters to the other Innate Sacred Beings.
Leaving aside whether they would even believe him, they had not discovered this truth themselves. How, then, could he possibly explain where this realization had come from?
This was precisely what made the situation so troublesome.
Moreover, Innate Sacred Beings possessed deep-seated arrogance. If there were only suspicion without concrete proof, they would not necessarily intervene.
And this was merely one aspect of the problem—far from the most critical one.
Even if they did discover the truth, would the Innate Sacred Beings truly take action every single time?
That was clearly impossible.
If they devoted themselves entirely to hunting Innate Fierce Beasts, then what need would there be for cultivation at all? They would spend the majority of their time exterminating beasts instead.
Furthermore, even after clearing out a wave—using their own power to destroy them and return them to their original state as part of the Honghuang World—the overall impact would still be minimal.
The creation of these creatures did not require much residual destiny or power from the Chaos.
In fact, ever since Hongjun's Innate Fierce Beast body obtained the position of First Beast King, he had made a startling discovery.
The strength of Innate Fierce Beasts did not increase proportionally to how much of the Honghuang they devoured. At most, they absorbed only ten percent of it.
The remaining ninety percent merged back into the residual destiny and power of the Chaos itself.
Now think carefully—how many Innate Fierce Beasts had been slain over the years?
Although Hongjun had used the Pangu Banner to annihilate the Innate Fierce Beasts when the Beast Emperor was once slain, he had no time to refine them.
It was only due to the Pangu Banner's unique power that a portion of that energy could be transformed into something the heavens and earth could absorb.
Yet the Beast Emperor could revive almost instantly.
How much power, then, could the world truly absorb?
Still less than ten percent.
The remaining energy would inevitably return to the Chaos.
Viewed this way, the situation became terrifyingly clear.
If they truly wished to defeat the Beast Emperor, the task would be long, arduous, and filled with despair.
Not only would they need to face endless Innate Fierce Beasts, but they would also have to confront That One—the Beast Emperor himself.
The pressure on the Innate Sacred Beings increased sharply.
Not cultivating was simply not an option.
Thus, the only viable solution was to rely on ordinary Innate Beings and Innate God-Demons—teaching them formations to deal with the ordinary Innate Fierce Beasts.
But persuading the Innate Sacred Beings to do so?
That was yet another enormous challenge.
"Alas… if only the Innate Fierce Beast Calamity were a bit more intense," Hongjun murmured. "If only they could witness it with their own eyes… truly feel its terror…"
As he spoke, his expression suddenly froze.
A realization struck him.
That's right.
He could force the Innate Sacred Beings to feel it.
He could make them experience the pressure, the disgust, the irritation—until they had no choice but to rely on ordinary Innate Beings and Innate God-Demons.
Ideas rapidly took shape within his mind.
The execution of this plan, however, depended entirely on his Incarnation.
With a single thought, Hongjun transmitted his intent.
On the Primordial Continent, within a unique region where disordered and chaotic power converged, nothing could grow.
No flowers. No grass. No trees.
Only chaos, disorder, and turbulence remained.
This was the main camp of the Beast Emperor Shen Ni—the land most beloved by the Fierce Beast Clan.
Here, the boundless Power of Chaos was nothing short of paradise, perfect for their growth and gestation.
At this very moment, Hongjun's Innate Fierce Beast Incarnation was kneeling, offering his Letter of Allegiance.
Yes—his plan was finally being put into motion.
Looking up at the Beast Emperor, who gazed down upon him from above, Hongjun spoke with barely contained excitement, laying out his scheme in full.
"Lord Beast Emperor," he said respectfully, "You have said that the Innate Sacred Beings are your mortal enemies. I possess a method that can severely disrupt their cultivation."
"You know well that aside from yourself, the Supreme Beast Emperor, and me—the First Beast King—the rest of the Fierce Beast Clan possesses little intelligence."
"Moreover, our reproduction is simple and rapid."
"Ordinary Innate Fierce Beasts can be treated entirely as consumables."
"In that case, Lord Beast Emperor, why not dispatch ordinary Innate Fierce Beasts to block the entrances outside the Dao Palaces of the Innate Sacred Beings?"
"Their strength need not be weak—only sufficient to interfere with cultivation."
"In doing so, their cultivation speed will be forcibly slowed, while we continue to advance unimpeded."
Hongjun spoke with undisguised enthusiasm.
The Beast Emperor did not immediately reject the idea.
Instead, he fell silent, pondering deeply, before finally raising a question.
"This sounds feasible," the Beast Emperor said slowly, "but there is one issue."
"The Innate Sacred Beings are far from weak. If they establish barriers, ordinary Innate Fierce Beasts would be unable to break through."
"If that is the case, how could this tactic truly interfere with them?"
It was a valid concern.
The difference in strength between ordinary Innate Fierce Beasts and Innate Sacred Beings was immense.
Even the Beast Emperor had to admit this.
Although he could easily slay ordinary Innate Sacred Beings, it was unrealistic to expect ordinary Fierce Beasts to breach their defenses.
Hongjun's Innate Beast King Incarnation chuckled softly.
"Lord Beast Emperor, there is no need to worry."
"Have you forgotten the true essence of ordinary Innate Fierce Beasts?"
"They are born from the fusion of your power, my power, and the residual destiny and strength of the Chaos."
"Though their combat strength is limited, their essence is incomparably high."
"If we sacrifice waves of top-tier Innate Fierce Beasts and have them self-detonate, breaking through even an Innate Sacred Being's barrier will not be a problem."
"And such top-tier beasts are far from rare within our clan."
The Beast Emperor's eyes narrowed slightly before he nodded.
Indeed.
Within the Fierce Beast Clan, the difference between ordinary and top-tier beasts lay mainly in power, not essence.
Ordinary Innate Fierce Beasts could contend with Innate Beings, while Innate God-Demons could suppress—but not completely erase—their residual power.
Top-tier Innate Fierce Beasts, however, could even threaten Innate God-Demons.
Only Innate Sacred Beings could reliably slay them.
After a moment of contemplation, the Beast Emperor made his decision.
"Very well," he said solemnly. "I entrust this matter entirely to you."
"Do not disappoint me."
His majestic voice echoed throughout the chaotic domain.
Hongjun's face lit up with joy.
The plan was set.
Once the Innate Fierce Beasts dared to blockade the very gates of their Dao Palaces, the Innate Sacred Beings would have no choice but to act.
And once they did
They would finally understand just how disgusting this tactic truly was.
