Before the space vortex appeared, during the battle with the Holy Spirit Sect's four Extreme Douluos, Poison Undying unleashed powerful bloodline power.
Golden Behemoth.
The Behemoth Race was annihilated in a distant era, precisely because they only ate the Dragon Race, and most importantly, they could truly hunt the Dragon Race on the same level and equal terms.
In a rage, the Dragon God annihilated the Behemoth Race.
However, ultimately, some of the Behemoth Race escaped from that battle.
After all, claiming extinction is actually quite difficult. Throughout the cosmos, across countless realms, while there might be no connections, the same race might be born by chance.
The birth of every race, especially some with powerful bloodlines, seems like coincidence, yet it also feels inevitable.
Especially races with strong bloodlines, they might be distributed across the major realms of the cosmos, making them almost impossible to be completely wiped out.
So-called extinction is actually just rarity.
Of course, as the Dragon Race's main base, Douluo Continent should indeed have been truly extinct.
But unexpectedly, the Behemoth bloodline still existed in the world.
If a Soul Beast coincidentally merges with this bloodline power, although mutated to become stronger, if future descendants ever have an atavistic return to their roots, fully awakening the bloodline power, generation after generation, the pure Behemoth reappearing in the world is not impossible.
...
Poison Undying acquired the Golden Behemoth bloodline, and now Su Yu naturally thought to inquire whether there was any extra bloodline power.
"I haven't found a living Golden Behemoth, and the bloodline power within the inheritance has been completely refined by me. However, according to the guidance I received from the inheritance, the Behemoth Race was not entirely annihilated; some individuals still exist." Poison Undying said.
Su Yu glanced at Gu Yuena and said nothing.
Gu Yuena also had no opinion.
This was something the Dragon God did long ago, unrelated to her.
The Dragon God of the past was considered supreme in the entire cosmos, unrivaled anywhere, but wasn't an unwisely arrogant person.
He also had rationality.
Acts like genocide were only committed against certain enemies.
Even to the First Generation Phoenix God who fought over the control of the Divine Realm, the Dragon God merely killed him, not annihilating the Phoenix Race.
Though the Behemoth Race used to prey on the Dragon Race, among many races in the cosmos claiming to eat dragons, it was only they who suffered the Dragon God's wrath, facing annihilation.
The reason was simple: the Dragon God happened to be provoked at that time...
Afterward, since the race was not completely annihilated, even if the Dragon God were still around, he wouldn't bother with this anymore.
Gu Yuena naturally didn't care either.
However, Gu Yuena didn't mind, but Di Tian seemed particularly interested in the Behemoth Race.
After all, it is a race hostile to the Dragon Race.
But as the Beast God, bearing the hope of Soul Beast revival, if a living Behemoth indeed exists, it would become a cornerstone for the Soul Beast Race once it matures.
Though seemingly contradictory, as long as Di Tian remains strong enough to suppress the Behemoth, there is no need to worry about its threat to the Dragon Race.
Just like the relationship between the Behemoth Race and the Dragon Race before the genocide.
The presence of the Dragon God meant that even with many races like the Behemoth preying on and even restraining the Dragon Race, they couldn't pose any substantial threat to the Dragon Race.
...
"There are still living Behemoths?" Upon hearing Poison Undying's words, Su Yu's previously slight disappointment instantly vanished.
"According to the information from that place of inheritance, the Behemoth Race had countermeasures back then, not only leaving behind bloodline inheritance but also excellent descendants who evaded Dragon Race hunting in various ways. Given Douluo Continent's current situation, there's almost no information on the Behemoth Race; their contingency plans likely failed then."
"The reason I'm certain there are living Behemoths is that besides hiding among the descendants of the Behemoth Race, some used sealing methods to avoid Dragon Race hunting."
Just like the place of inheritance Poison Undying found, it was a sealed space rift, where internal space-time was all sealed, preventing the total loss of bloodline power and allowing Poison Undying to absorb and refine it.
Likewise, since the bloodline power could remain hidden until now, living Behemoth descendants should also have fortuitously survived.
"Although I refined it to gather the Qi Blood Soul Ring, that bloodline power back then was nearly depleted, if I hadn't discovered it in time, it might have naturally dissipated over the centuries." Poison Undying sighed with emotion.
"However, the fact that the bloodline power could persist until now means if there truly are living entities that escaped Dragon Race's genocide, their life force might still not be completely extinguished."
Yet how long they could continue to be sealed and slumber remains unknown.
"I didn't receive much information from that place of inheritance, lacking details about these sealed Behemoths, but after refining the bloodline power, I vaguely obtained some location information of the Behemoths." Poison Undying's refinement method differed from the Soul Spirit System; it was a real integration into himself, astonishingly acquiring vague bloodline inheritance.
Perhaps it was just his higher fusion degree with the bloodline power, or maybe due to his Body Martial Soul, but he did indeed obtain part of the Behemoth Race's bloodline inheritance.
