Isekai Life as Ōtsutsuki

Some time later, the Flame-Heart Volcanoes, Flowing Sand Continent

Flame-Heart Volcanoes were considered as one of the most dangerous Forbidden Lands in the entire Flowing Sand Continent, but what Yakou didn't know was that it ranked as one of the top ten in the entire Frigid Origin Realm.

Not only because of a relatively high level of the Profound Beasts that lived in the Flame-Heart Volcanoes but also due to the Volcanoes themselves. They were extremely dangerous, capable of incinerating even some powerful Divine Realm experts into ashes within seconds.

Yakou arrived at the Flame-Heart Volcanoes and the first thing he saw was a region characterized by the presence of active or dormant volcanoes, as well as other volcanic features such as geysers, hot springs, fumaroles, and volcanic lakes.

These areas are typically located near tectonic plate boundaries, where magma rises to the surface, or over hotspots, where the magma from deep within the Earth melts through the crust.

The activity of volcanoes in the Flame-Heart Volcanoes was varied. Some of them which Yakou saw were dormant or totally inactive, while others may be highly active with frequent eruptions.

"So where to start..."

Yakou at first observed the entire Flame-Heart Volcanoes for some time before he started pondering over the next movements. From a distance, he could see hundreds of Profiund Beasts, all of them in the Divine Realms; some of them were in the Divine Spirit Realm already.

He was using his eyes to search for the Scarlet Armored Dragon, but he guessed that the Scarlet Armored Dragon was, with the highest probability, slumbering under of the volcanoes, cultivating to get stronger.

This was common because the Scarlet Armored Dragon was a fire-elemental dragon, so such an environment was best suited for him. The concentration of the fire-attributed Profound Beasts was enormous; in the distance, Yakou even sensed a nest of some kind of fire ant Profound Beasts.

Imagining millions of them coming out from their next terrified him, truth to be told, especially if all of them were at the Divine Realms. He decided to mark that area as off-limits for now; he would let the God Tree deal with them.

'As the ruler of the entire forbidden area of Flame-Heart Volcanoes, it should have some Divine King Realm Profound Beast under it's rule... I should eliminate them as the first ones in case the Scarlet Armored Dragon decided to use numbers against me.'

Yakou thought before he slowly formulated the plan. Right now, he had spent a few months in the Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World so that he could use the Clairvoyance of the Senrinjōnegan to a certain degree already.

The sole thing he wanted was to see how many Divine King Realm Profound Beasts were in this forbidden zone, so he could take them out one by one before he went and killed the ruler of this entire forbidden zone.

The first one that Yakou located was some kind of fire serpent-type Profound Beast standing at the Divine King Realm. Considering the fact that in the entire Flame-Heart Volcanoes, the dominant species were those of draconic or serpent descent, it wasn't that surprising.

He then sped towards the location of the Fire Serpent at the Divine King Realm; he crossed several active volcanoes while dodging one that was about the implode. The force with which the volcanoes was exploding was probably enough to injure even him severely.

'This area is indeed pretty dangerous.'

He thought as he continued flying towards the lair of the Divine King Realm Fire Serpent, as the Profound Beast made its lair at one of the lava lakes. It was happily swimming in the lava lake and enjoying the hot environment while ignoring everything else.

'Energy Quantity is indeed at the Saint Realm... if converted to Chakra, it should be around 100M Chakra Units. I wonder how it compared in regard to the destructive prowess...'

Yakou analyzed the Divine King Realm Fire Serpent, as he was comparing the raw power of the Divine King Realm Fire Serpent to his own and to the power of the proper Saint Realm Ōtsutsuki.

'In regard to the energy capacity, I am vastly inferior... prolonged combat is out of the question, so the only choice is overwhelming power tactics.'

He decided on the strategy in a second. A peak Tier 2 Ōtsutsukis had a maximal Chakra Capacity of around 10 Million Units. The Divine King Realm Fire Serpent had an energy capacity comparable to 140 Million Units.

While energy isn't everything, it played a significant factor when fighting because one could easily go into prolonged combat and also, cast more powerful attacks more often.

Yakou didn't dare to underestimate the Divine King Realm Fire Serpent, as he instantly made his move. In a split of a moment, he was enveloped by greenish Chakra that was flaming, as his Tensei-Sharingan started shining and three magatama dots were spinning at full speed.

"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion: Lightning Judgment of Golden Dust!"

He then focused a tremendous amount of Chakra into one of his Truth-Seeking Balls that were hovering behind him. He then grasped it in his hand as he created an enormous golden sword of pure Chakra and Dust, boosted by the Dao of Dust.

Everything happened too fast, as the sword sparkled with lightning and slashed at the Divine King Realm Fire Serpent. Yakou watched how the Divine King Realm Fire Serpent was decapitated in one swift move, which made him sigh in relief and at the same time, he was considering the real power of the Divine King Realm.

There was still a certain possibility that while in terms of energy quantity, the realms were similar or rather the same, but it started to seem that in terms of real power, they were pretty different.

Like comparing heaven and earth.

"It's time to harvest the corpse."

The Crown Prince of the Ōtsutsuki Clan muttered quietly as he looked at the corpse of the Divine King Realm Fire Serpent that was lying in the lava lake motionlessly. He observed the corpse for several seconds before he started digging out its Profound Core.

Similar to the other species that had Profound Vein Core in the body of cultivators, the Profound Beasts had Profound Cores. Naturally, not every Profound Beast had a Profound Core; common ones certainly didn't.

Starting from Nascent Profound Beasts, Profound Cores existed in all adult Profound Beasts, with each rank higher in quality, as the Profound Core was the core of the existence of the Profound Beast.

It was the core where it's essence and all Profound Energy were concentrated, so they were valuable.
