Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

It directly surged into the relic!

"It's the essence and blood of Master Xin Yuan's physical body!"

Wang Ba instantly awakened.

With this abundance of essence and blood pouring in, the relic rapidly expanded, transforming into a crimson flesh fetus.

The flesh fetus emitted a strange fragrance, and taking a single breath of it made one's Primordial Spirit tremble with vitality!

Wang Ba couldn't help but feel startled.

He quickly set up a formation around it to block the fragrance, yet still found that some aroma managed to escape.

Before long, a World Eater with blood-red eyes—shaped vaguely like a rhino—charged out from the dim depths!

Wang Ba's expression darkened as his thoughts moved swiftly.

In the next instant, a White Tiger crawled out from the Membrane Eye, growing larger as it encountered the wind, and pounced fiercely on the World Eater.

Then came a sharp bird cry, and the fire-red Erya also emerged from the Membrane Eye.

Next followed the Three-legged Golden Crow Sanjin, Mystic Snake Ding Twenty-Two, and Elephant Forty-Nine...

As five divine beasts faced the fifth-tier World Eater, they charged together, appearing strenuous but still managing to inflict numerous wounds upon it.

Soon, the Five-Coloured Divine Deer also flew out from the Membrane Eye. After glancing briefly at Wang Ba, it unhesitatingly joined the battle.

Seeing this, Wang Ba nodded slightly.

Though the World Eater stood at a rank higher than the six divine beasts present, nearing fifth-tier perfection, its limited Spiritual Wisdom made its offense and defense chaotic, relying purely on physical instincts. It had some abilities akin to Divine Skills, but its downfall soon became evident.

Large chunks of flesh were torn off by the White Tiger and the others, diminishing its aura, while the divine beasts themselves grew fiercer in combat.

Yet Wang Ba quickly furrowed his brows slightly.

The Yellow Dao Domain transformed into a Daoist robe, and two Dao soldiers merged into black-and-white silk garments with golden patterns.

Almost simultaneously, a shadow as dark as lightning darted out from the distant gloom!

Wang Ba, however, showed no surprise. The Yellow Dao Domain and Dragon Elephant Dao Domain overlapped instantly, forming a golden patterned hand that swept across the void and captured the shadow in its grasp!

It turned out to be a Legless Strange Bird.

The bird's eyes glowed black-red, and it issued an eerie, ear-piercing sound while struggling. But under the golden patterned hand formed from Wang Ba's Dao Domain, it couldn't escape and was directly delivered before Wang Ba.

"A mid-tier fifth rank dares to intrude."

Sensing the bird's aura, Wang Ba shook his head slightly.

As he prepared to crush it, a sudden thought struck him, and he extended his hand toward the bird.

Upon touching it, he felt a cold chaotic aura resisting his touch.

Wang Ba's expression sank as he exerted his power, a flash of yellow and black light flickering on his palm. He penetrated the resistance instantly and pressed down on the bird's wings.

Yet to his astonishment, the texture of this bird's body felt no different from that of a typical Spirit Beast.

Even more surprising was that he could sense Lifespan within this bird!

"Eighty thousand years!"

"This World Eater, so ignorant and oblivious, still possesses a staggering eighty thousand years of Lifespan!"

Wang Ba couldn't help showing shock.

For someone like him, Lifespan has long been insignificant.

He scarcely bothered to count his own Lifespan anymore.

But within Little Cang World, even Divinity Transformation cultivators generally had only four to five thousand years of Lifespan.

With proper care and the use of Life-Extending Treasures, they might live an extra millennium or more. Yet compared to this World Eater, those numbers seemed pitifully trivial.

"No wonder Xuan Yuanzi said World Eaters possess extended Lifespan. Extended? It's more like..."

Wang Ba couldn't help but sigh, his thoughts stirring:

"If its Lifespan can be perceived, doesn't that mean..."

He immediately attempted to inject a portion of Lifespan into it.

Soon, his expression shifted subtly.

"Unable to inject Lifespan?"

"No, Lifespan cannot be extracted either!"

"This ability... it doesn't work?"

Wang Ba's heart shook severely.

Throughout the years, apart from nurturing Dao Intent Spirit Beasts and establishing Taoist Fields, he'd rarely used this ability.

But rarely using an ability didn't diminish its importance.

In fact, this ability had been crucial to his achievements thus far, so its sudden malfunction caused an uncharacteristic moment of panic in Wang Ba.

Yet within a moment, he forced the unrest down through years of honed composure.

"Do not panic!"

"This Lifespan ability worked earlier. Something must've changed that I didn't notice, leading to this situation."

"Change..."

Wang Ba's thoughts stirred. He descended onto the White Tiger amidst the battle, reaching out to touch it, and confirmed it shared the same condition as the World Eater. Although Lifespan was perceptible, its amount couldn't be altered.

It was as though the ability had suddenly gone dormant.

Yet at this moment, Wang Ba realized something.

He struck down the retaliating rhino-like World Eater with a single palm, then landed once more at the Membrane Eye.

The Spirit Beast Bag floated gently within the Membrane Eye before releasing a miniature Spirit Chicken. Wang Ba reached out with slight apprehension to touch the Spirit Chicken.

A few breaths later.

Wang Ba exhaled lightly.

The tension in his eyes slowly faded, replaced by a mix of complexity and peculiarity.

He stared blankly at the Realm Membrane below.

At that moment, it was as though countless thoughts flooded his mind, and he vaguely began to realize something.

His gaze held traces of clarity and sorrow... but ultimately, all these emotions transformed into resolute determination.

At the same time.

The distant battle gradually reached its conclusion.

The rhino-like World Eater, overwhelmed by numbers, finally collapsed.

Unlike creatures inside the realm that dissipated into chaos essence and Dao Intention upon death, the World Eaters outside the realm left behind a pile of flesh, bones, and a lifeform appearance seemingly indistinguishable from ordinary creatures.

The injured White Tiger, Elephant Forty-Nine, Ding Twenty-Two, and Five-Coloured Divine Deer devoured their conquest, while the unharmed Erya and Sanjin landed atop the World Eater's remains, feasting on their prey.

Wang Ba observed that as the divine beasts consumed the World Eater, their Blood Energy, Spiritual Power, and Dao Domain aura subtly and imperceptibly grew stronger. However, their bloodline aura also showed faint signs of becoming more chaotic...

He pondered this, glancing at the lifeless Legless Strange Bird in his hand, before casually crushing it and throwing it to the divine beasts.

Then he gently lifted a corner of the formation shrouding the crimson flesh fetus, allowing the strange fragrance to escape briefly before sealing it again.

Soon after, another fifth-tier World Eater traced the scent and arrived...

And so, for forty-nine days, the Primordial Fetus fully formed as the strange fragrance faded.

Yet the offering derived from Master Xin Yuan within the realm didn't cease.

Instead of essence and blood, it transformed into Buddha's Light and melodic chants.

The Primordial Fetus enveloped itself in this Buddha's Light like a fetus cradled within a womb, growing stronger by the day.

Six divine beasts' auras also advanced slightly through these trials over the days.

Among them, the White Tiger and Elephant Forty-Nine showed faint signs of breaking through to mid-tier fifth rank.

Another forty-nine days passed.

The Primordial Fetus absorbed the Buddha's Light and matured at last.

On this day.

Wang Ba put away the first edition of the Complete Heaven Star Map, his gaze fixed on the Primordial Fetus before him.

Under his watchful stare.

The surface of the Primordial Fetus slowly cracked open.

And in the instant the fissure appeared.

Wang Ba suddenly felt something within. Instinctively, he looked up.

In the mist-shrouded Realm Sea filled with Chaos Origin Substance, a once dim star suddenly brightened!
