Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant Chapter 2470 - 226: Nine Tails

"Roar—"

Accompanied by a piercing, razor-sharp cry, the Canlong Realm—increasingly stabilized under Wang Ba’s careful management—abruptly began to shake violently!

Across the heavens, endless bolts of lightning flickered in a chaotic dance.

A massive, ink-colored fox silhouette loomed large, nearly eclipsing the entire firmament. Its body was bathed in shimmering streams of light, which seemed to be desperately trying to burrow into its very essence. The eight slender, jet-black tails thrashed about in rhythmic agony.

Yet, the thunder crashing down from the dome fell against its hide with zero effect.

Observing the commotion unfolding before him, Wang Ba made a swift hand sign. In a blink, both he and the beast were transported to the Outer Realm Void.

Freed from the restrictions of the Domain, the size of Tie Zhu’s body swelled visibly to the naked eye. Its eight long tails whipped through the air like lashes, and countless rays of light surged across its dark fur.

These brilliant beams vied for entry into Tie Zhu’s form, and with every flicker of light that vanished into its hide, the fox's aura grew marginally stronger.

Wang Ba kept his gaze locked on the Eight-tailed Heavenly Fox. Though his expression remained stoic, his eyes betrayed a flicker of deep anticipation.

Every scrap of spirit material at his disposal and the rare divine beasts bequeathed by Heavenly Monarch Chao had been poured into this singular fox.

He knew he could not feasibly merge the chaos and the Eight-tailed Heavenly Fox as simultaneous cores. Instead, he had chosen to cultivate the divine beast 'chaos' to the zenith of the Eighth Tier while pouring all remaining resources into his Ninth-Tier divine beast plan, centered on the Eight-tailed Heavenly Fox.

The specific method and sequence for the bloodline fusion were manageable; he used the Silkworm Dragon Staff to simulate the process. However, he lacked absolute confidence in successfully pushing the Eight-tailed Heavenly Fox to the Ninth-Tier stage via the Ten Thousand Beasts Unbridled Technique until he actually saw it happen.

If he succeeded, he would gain a combatant capable of fighting alongside a Mahayana Realm master.

Now, this elaborate cultivation scheme had finally reached its concluding moment.

"I have provided everything I can; the rest relies on your own strength." Wang Ba whispered to himself, watching the Eight-tailed Heavenly Fox as it persevered through the integration of the diverse divine beast bloodlines.

The creature was clearly enduring a rare and intense agony.

A ninth tail began to manifest and lengthen at its rear, mirroring the absorption of the luminous streams.

Its claws dug into the void, sharp and rigid, signaling just how painful this transformation truly was.

This was expected, as the beast was forced to bridge the deep chasm of the Great Realm.

Though the gap between the Eighth and Ninth Tiers might appear negligible to the untrained eye, it represented a revolutionary evolution in essence.

Naturally, such a leap required the bearer to withstand harrowing burdens.

Reaching its limit, the Eight-tailed Heavenly Fox let out a pained, piercing howl.

The Wu Monkey King watched from the sidelines, his expression calm and detached. Beneath the overwhelming aura of the Eight-tailed Heavenly Fox, the monkey's own power revealed itself, having already touched the mid-stage of the Eighth Tier.

Wang Ba had not neglected the Wu Monkey King, and the primate had proven his worth, advancing rapidly after being fueled by expensive spirit materials.

Wang Ba watched the metamorphosis for a moment before turning to instruct the Wu Monkey King: "When your turn for integration comes, take careful note of these procedures..."

He used the Fox as a living example, meticulously highlighting the key stages for the Wu Monkey King.

The primate offered a look of slight confusion, yet Wang Ba did not mind. He knew the master of the mountains would not fail him in the end. He turned his gaze back toward the Fox.

Under his watchful eyes, the ninth tail finally stretched to its full length, matching its brothers. At the exact moment it reached parity with the others, the Eight-tailed Heavenly Fox seemed to shatter a invisible barrier. It threw its head back, opened its maw, and devoured the surrounding lumes of light in one gargantuan gulp!

In the blink of an eye, the creature's ink-black fur began to take on a faint, ethereal green hue.

Nine tails fanned out behind it with majestic elegance, the beast's stature becoming even more massive than the nearby Canlong Realm!

The once crimson eyes turned clear, sparkling like a serene mountain lake.

The menacing, bloodthirsty aura vanished, replaced by an unexpected sense of profound tranquility.

"It is finished!"

A pleasant shock washed over Wang Ba. He observed the Green Fox, detecting a new, stabilized aura that stood far above a mere Eighth Tier peak. He moved forward, pressing his hand upon its hide.

Contrary to the chaotic phenomena accompanying Heavenly Monarch Chao’s previous use of the Ten Thousand Beasts Unbridled, his own variation remained subtle and anomaly-free.

Apart from the legendary beasts like the Candle Dragon or the chaos, the Wu Monkey King and the newly evolved Green Fox showed very little external change aside from the breakthrough itself.

Yet, as Wang Ba felt the pulse of the bloodline within the Green, he was inwardly jubilant; his theory had been correct.

The Ten Thousand Beasts Unbridled Technique intended to meld multiple divine beast traits without rejection, elevating the host's realm while granting them a suite of unique abilities. In this grand equation, the core divine beast served merely as the vessel. So long as the necessary conditions were met, any beast could serve as the foundation.
