Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

"Earth Grade and Heavenly Grade Crystal Cores only exist in the central region of the Infinite River," replied Feng Ya. "But due to the limitations of Divine Sense and the control of the two universes, very few dare to venture into the central region. Of course, if luck permits, Heavenly Gate Sanctuary might also produce Heavenly Grade Crystal Cores!"

"Then let's head to the Sanctuary," said Chu Qin.

He naturally wasn't afraid of anything, but he couldn't risk taking all the ladies into danger.

"Yes! Let's open the Heavenly Gate!" At those words, Feng Ya spoke to the Saint Emperor.

The next moment, the massive doorway of the circular passage slowly opened, and Chu Qin led the ladies out through the Heavenly Gate.

Outside the Heavenly Gate was the Void, but unlike the emptiness of the cosmic galaxy, this place was daylight all year round!

Guided by Feng Ya, Chu Qin and his companions sped off towards their destination, the Great Void Taia.

However, to everyone's disappointment, their flight speed reached its limit.

But along the way, instead of seeing the legendary Crystal Beasts, there were many man-made fortresses and floating islands created by Heavenly Gate!

"Sister Feng Ya, how come we haven't seen any Crystal Beasts along the way?" Xiaowu said, somewhat disappointed.

"Crystal Beasts are incredibly rare to begin with, plus this place is near the Heavenly Gate, with many of our floating islands and defense fortresses, they can detect the divine power fluctuations of yellow grade and low-class Profound Level Crystal Beasts. As soon as any Crystal Beast is found, it will be hunted down directly by people from the nearby fortresses," explained Feng Ya. "But high-class Profound Level, Earth Grade, and Heaven Grade — that is, Crystal Cores above the Half-step Saint Emperor Level — are not so easy; they're skilled in hiding, almost only visible to the naked eye. So our people roam the Infinite River every day in search of them, and when they find something, they report it to the Saint Emperors and Primordial Ancestor-level Powerhouses inside the Heavenly Gate."

"Hey, is that a Crystal Beast over there?" said Zhu Zhuqing, pointing ahead.

In the Void, there floated an illusory figure.

It had the shape of a stone man, millions of meters tall, with a transparent body through which one could see what seemed like stars rotating inside!

"Yes, that's a Crystal Beast!" Feng Ya confirmed. "But it's the weakest kind, a yellow grade Crystal Beast!"

"Ah, that's only yellow grade?" everyone exclaimed in surprise.

A Crystal Beast millions of meters tall was only yellow grade!

What would a Heavenly Grade or even a Saint Grade be like!

And in the next moment, the space was repeatedly torn asunder as figures of Heavenly Gate powerhouses appeared from within the space, launching an ambush on the Crystal Beast!

Under the siege of several Sky Calamity Supreme Gods, the Crystal Beast met its demise, leaving behind only a yellow Crystal Stone.

"That Crystal Beast survived for less than two seconds!" gasped Wang Qiu'er.

"Mm!" nodded Feng Ya.

At this time, Chu Qin came across a surprising and unexpected discovery.

In the two seconds that the Crystal Beast had survived, Chu Qin found with the aid of his True Dragon Eye that the Crystal Beast radiated golden light.

Before this, he had been using the True Sight Eye to scan the surroundings without finding anything noteworthy.

"Could it be, my True Dragon Eye can detect the presence of Crystal Beasts!" exclaimed Chu Qin as his Divine Sense swept out in a frenzy, guided by the True Dragon Eye.

As expected, although Divine Sense here was greatly limited, only capable of scanning up to about a light-year away,

Chu Qin could distinctly see golden light emanating from much farther distances.

And indeed, the brightness of the golden light varied.

"Incredible!" Chu Qin was ecstatic.

"Chu Qin, what's so incredible, what are you talking about!" said Wuji Heavenly Emperor, puzzled.

"Hahaha!" Chu Qin laughed heartily.

"Chu Qin, what are you laughing at?" The ladies all looked at Chu Qin with confusion.

"It's nothing," said Chu Qin with a smile. "Feng Ya, how long until we reach the Great Void Taia?"

"About half a Shi Chen!" Feng Ya answered.

"Good," Chu Qin nodded.

Half a Shi Chen later, everyone arrived at a region filled with meteorites, where there were no clouds in sight.

The white clouds were replaced by meteorites.

Moreover, these meteorites weren't naturally formed, as if one could see the remnants of warships, the skeletons of creatures!

Some skeletons were up to a million meters long.

Piles of bones stretched for tens of thousands of miles without end!

The scene was so horrific it was breathtaking.

Aside from Wuji Heavenly Emperor, all the women showed expressions of shock and terror.

"Was this place once a battlefield?" Chu Qin looked at Feng Ya with confusion.

"Yes. This was the site of one of the largest battles in two grand universes. Originally, this was a neutral area. After accumulating Crystal Stones through Tianmen, it became the Heavenly Gate Sanctuary."

"This is just too cruel," Xiaowu unconsciously gripped Chu Qin's arm.

"Indeed, I really hope that one day, someone can kill the Taiyin True Dragon and put an end to this cruel slaughter!" Feng Ya lamented.

"There will be such a day," Chu Qin said with a smile, looking at Feng Ya.

"But let's not talk about that for now. This place should be the Great Void Taia, right?" Chu Qin asked.

"Yes!" Feng Ya nodded, "The Great Void Taia is close to the center of the Infinite River. The Profound Level Crystal Beasts here are all of Half-step Saint Emperor Level or above. Emperor Chu Qin, you must have noticed that Divine Sense cannot locate them. One can only sense their presence in this Void."

"Yes!" Wuji Heavenly Emperor, Xi E, Zhu Yan, and others nodded in agreement?

They could all sense the presence of powerful beings nearby, but could not identify the direction.

Let alone find the exact location.

"No!" Chu Qin smiled and shook his head.

"No?" Wu Ji, Feng Ya, Zhu Yan, and the rest said in surprise.

"Indeed, Divine Sense can't find high-level Crystal Beasts, but I have a way to locate them," Chu Qin said with a smile.

"Really?" Wuji and Feng Ya were both astonished.

After all, the Infinite River is a combination of numerous universes and Voids, even Azure Dragon couldn't find Crystal Beasts above the Half-step Saint Emperor Level, or else they wouldn't need to search everywhere!

If Chu Qin could find them, then Tianmen's search for Crystal Beasts would be much easier in the future!

"Whether it's true or not, come with me!" Chu Qin said indifferently with a smile, taking the lead and flying towards a spot in Divine Sense where the golden light was blazing.

Two minutes later, in front of Chu Qin and the group of women, there appeared a colossal phantom-type Crystal Beast that stood ten million meters tall.

This Crystal Beast took the shape of a dragon and drifted in the Void, merging with it. If one didn't look carefully, it was practically undetectable.

"Half-step Saint Emperor Crystal Beast!"

"It's true!"

Feng Ya and Wuji Heavenly Emperor said in succession, filled with joy.

Chu Qin, with his own methods, had accurately arrived at the location of a high-level Profound Level Crystal Beast, which was a Half-step Saint Emperor Crystal Beast!

"It looks like it's true!" Chu Qin said with a proud smile.

"Quick, look, the Crystal Beast is moving!" Zi Ji shouted.

Chu Qin smiled indifferently as the Xuanyuan Divine Sword flew directly out of his body.

The Crystal Beast, sensing Chu Qin's intent to kill, immediately let out a roar and burst forth with unlimited Xuan Guang, hoping to intercept Chu Qin's Xuanyuan Divine Sword.

But to a mere Half-step Saint Emperor, in front of Chu Qin, a Supreme Beginning Emperor, it was utterly vulnerable.

Just in an instant, Chu Qin's sword thrust through the dragon-beast's Xuan Guang and pierced the body of the Half-step Saint Emperor Crystal Beast!

Without a loud explosion, the Crystal Beast condensed into a purple Crystal Stone, a hundred meters long, the moment it was slain by Chu Qin!

"We did it!"
