ATG: My genius is almost frightening!-Chapter 240 - 239: Dragon Emperor of Absolute Beginning

These witches were crucial to his combat power and would play an important role in his plans moving forward. Naturally, Yun Wuji intended to raise their strength as much as possible.

However, he made this move right away, not only to gain their favor but also to awe them. They may follow Chi Wuyao's orders faithfully, but if they were unwilling, it would cause unnecessary problems, even if they obeyed.

He had an easy and effortless way to subdue these powerful women, without resorting to any schemes or acting, of course, he would do it directly.

The witches looked at the small, weak balls, then turned their gaze back to Yun Wuji, confused. What kind of 'gift' was this? Before they could fully process what was happening, Chi Wuyao's voice echoed in their ears, "Don't resist."

The witches, completely loyal to Chi Wuyao, obeyed her command without hesitation, lowering their defenses and allowing the balls to enter their bodies. The balls transformed into faint, weak darkness that spread throughout them, before coalescing into a dark light that enveloped them completely, only to fade away moments later.

At first, the eight witches didn't feel anything unusual. But then, the usually silent Jie Xin and Jie Ling suddenly exclaimed at the same time, "Impossible!"

Both sisters instinctively channeled their darkness profound energy, and froze.

The once wild, overbearing power that had resisted their control for years now flowed with the docility of a tamed beast.

Perfect mastery.

Absolute control.

For the first time, their darkness moved not as a rebellious force, but as an extension of their very will!

The others followed the example of the Great Witches and quickly discovered the same thing.

None of them recovered from the shock for a long time. They felt like they had been living an illusion.

They all stared at Yun Wuji with incredulous looks, as if they were looking at a monster... a freak of nature. How could someone at just the 1st level of the Divine Sovereign Realm accomplish this!?

"Did you like little darling's gift?" Chi Wuyao asked with a foxy smile as she looked at her witches.

They were still staring at Yun Wuji in a daze. Only now did they truly understand why their master clung to this man and placed so much importance on him.

"Young Master Yun, this gift you gave us is nothing short of rebirth," said the youngest and most gentle of them, Nanhuang Chanyi, bowing again to Yun Wuji, this time more deeply. Her gentle voice trembled from overwhelming emotion. "We will certainly do everything possible to repay your grace."

"No need, this is just a small effort from me. You don't need to repay me," Yun Wuji shook his head gently, acting as if he had performed an insignificant act, like drinking water or farting. Then, as if unwilling to continue the topic, he turned to Chi Wuyao: "You're planning to go to the Eastern Divine Region, right?"

"Yes." Chi Wuyao showed no surprise at his guess, such things were easy for him to deduce.

"Good. With you around, the plan will be much smoother." Yun Wuji was very confident in Chi Wuyao's abilities. If one were to rate the most dangerous woman in all of Primal Chaos, it would undoubtedly be her. She wasn't just strong, she was supremely scheming and skilled at manipulating people and grasping the human heart.

She had started as a mortal woman and became one of the strongest in Primal Chaos by stepping on others' corpses, betraying friends, backstabbing comrades, killing teachers and ancestors. She committed countless despicable acts to reach her position.

She is a miniature female version of Fang Yuan.

Yun Wuji took something from his storage. The moment it appeared, an intense, incomparably pure purple aura shone on everyone. "Give this to my main body." He didn't want to move his Devil Body from the Northern Divine Region, since Chi Wuyao was going there anyway, she might as well take it with her.

He paused and took out the Wind Seed and memory stone, recording a list. "I also want you to deliver some other things to my main body."

"Alright." Chi Wuyao took them and put them away.

Yun Wuji suddenly thought of something and spoke to her: "This Divine Marrow is originally yours, but I need it right now. I promise to give you another one very soon, as far as I know, the Eternal Heaven God Realm has one."

Chi Wuyao patted his head and let out a sad sigh, as if hurt by his words: "Sigh, little darling, why are you talking like this? Everything mine is yours, not just this Divine Marrow, but even if you wanted the Soul Stealing Realm..."

She leaned closer, breath warm against his ear; "I'd hand you the throne with a smile."

"Is... is Master in love?" Yu Wu, who looked about 16 (though she was thousands of years old), whispered hesitantly. Even with this scene happening before her, she still couldn't believe her eyes.

"Shh!" Hua Jin reacted faster than the others, having seen something similar hours ago, she was more prepared, and hushed her immediately.

...

God Realm of Absolute Beginning.

It was a pale white world, a realm that seemed eternally shrouded in a layer of gray ash.

It stood at the center of the four Divine Regions and served as the core of the Primal Chaos Dimension.

Rumor had it that this was the secret realm where the Ancestral God once resided at the dawn of the Primal Chaos. It was the oldest and most colossal ancient secret realm in existence.

Of course, those rumors weren't true. The Ancestral God created the God Realm of Absolute Beginning as a wall to hold back the Abyss of Nothingness. It wasn't meant to serve as a bridge between the two sides, but as a barrier to push them even farther apart.

The level of laws inside the God Realm of Absolute Beginning is higher than that in the God Realm. Although the cultivation limit was still the Divine Master Realm, the number of high-level beasts here was far greater. There were many Divine Master beasts and an uncountable number of Divine Sovereign beasts roaming across the realm.

These beasts were unusually hostile toward outsiders from the God Realm. Due to the difference in aura between the two realms, any explorer who entered would almost always be attacked fiercely, no matter where they went. Even worse, once a battle began, if it wasn't finished quickly, the commotion would attract more beasts like moths to a flame.

Because of this, it was common knowledge that to survive in this place, the bare minimum requirement was to be at the Divine Sovereign Realm.

Among the powerful beasts here, the most terrifying were the Dragons of Absolute Beginning. Dragons possessed incredibly strong bodies and overwhelming soul power. No matter the dimension, dragons always stood at the very top.

The Dragons of Absolute Beginning were the most ancient and strongest dragon clan in the God Realm of Absolute Beginning. Perhaps it was because their ability to reproduce was limited, but there were not many Dragons of Absolute Beginning in existence.

In fact, their numbers paled in comparison to the Western Divine Region's Dragon God Clan. However, any single Dragon of Absolute Beginning, even if it was just a wyrmling, could display a peerlessly powerful and earth-shaking draconic might.

This was also the reason that the God Realm could only obtain a Divine Fruit of Absolute Beginning once every few hundred thousand years.

The territory of the Dragons of Absolute Beginning was deep within the God Realm of Absolute Beginning. The draconic might that could suppress anyone's heart and soul permeated every inch of this place.

At the very core of this territory was a red-colored fruit, no bigger than a fingernail. It glowed like a tiny star, dyeing most of its surroundings in a blood-red hue. The fruit gave off a strange, incomparably pure divine aura that couldn't be described with mere words.

Hordes of giant, gray dragons could be seen sitting around the fruit and bathing in its rich aura. The Dragons of Absolute Beginning viewed the formation of every Divine Fruit of Absolute Beginning as a heavenly miracle. Not only could its aura purify a dragon's aura and soul, but it also had the potential to wholly change a dragon.

Among the horde, the one closest to the fruit was the largest dragon of them all. A colossal gray dragon lay coiled around it, eyes closed as if asleep. But the aura it radiated was terrifyingly heavy... it was the Dragon Emperor.

Dozens of kilometers away were five dragons slightly smaller in size. Their auras were incomparably powerful, though still far weaker than that of the Dragon Emperor. These five were the Dragon Kings.

Scattered farther out were the rest of the dragons. Like everywhere else, this territory followed a strict hierarchical structure, one based entirely on strength. The stronger a dragon was, the greater the benefits it enjoyed.

At this time, two hundred meters from the fruit, a crimson shadow suddenly appeared. The shadow's crimson color blended strangely with the red color permeating the whole area.

The moment the shadow appeared, she moved at an insane speed, so fast that it was impossible to catch with the naked eye. In an instant, she rushed directly toward the Divine Fruit.

The sudden appearance of the stranger was so fast and so abrupt that by the time the shadow was less than 10 meters from the Divine Fruit, nearly all the Dragons hadn't reacted. No, they hadn't even noticed yet, not even the five Dragon Kings.

The shadow stretched her fair hands toward the fruit as she moved — seven meters... five meters... three meters...

One meter...

ROAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!

The shadow was a thousandth of a second away from success when a dragon's roar erupted beside her and inside her soul.

The other dragons may have been caught off guard, but the Dragon Emperor was not. It was the strongest being in the God Realm of Absolute Beginning, its strength only weaker than the Dragon Monarch and the Crimson Destruction Dragon God.

Its power rivaled, if not exceeded, that of Qianye Fantian and the Southern Sea God Emperor.

The moment Jasmine appeared and made her move, the Dragon Emperor instantly reacted, unleashing a deafening roar as it activated its dragon domain.

For a split second, Jasmine's whole body became rigid, frozen in place, her face turning pale. She gritted her teeth, pushing through the immense pressure as she desperately reached to take the fruit.

Boom!

The moment her finger brushed the fruit, a massive, heavy tail descended, smashing into her and sending her crashing to the ground.
