In the verdant and dense forest, a ferocious Giant Ape nearly 130 meters tall gnawed on bones with only a bit of residue left.
After spending half the night, the Purgatory Divine Ape finished consuming the flesh of four Mid-tier Seven ferocious beasts, making its height surge from 122 meters to 129.3 meters.
At this moment, the Giant Ape's body was like a mountain, with thick scale armor cracking like barren land, and from the cracks grew black fur as thick as tree trunks.
At this growth rate, it felt like it could reach 140 meters, the Tier Seven Peak, and trigger its third evolution in two or three more days.
Of course, it's nice to imagine such good fortune.
An encounter like today's, with a dissolving ruin world where this secret realm contained four Tier Seven ferocious beasts, could only be chalked up to luck.
And today, it's not just the size that has grown rapidly.
As the blood and flesh of the four beasts were converted into energy, the extracted Bloodline Power transformed into two red and white giant dragons and two golden-black Roc phantoms, absorbed by the Innate Divine Technique Celestial Roc Binding Dragon.
In the perception of the Purgatory Divine Ape, the divine technique engravings that covered its body became more complex and mysterious.
Vaguely, one could even see three real giant dragons, and three Roc phantoms swirling, exuding a terrifying aura of hunting the wilderness and devouring billions of beings.
Bang!
The ground trembled as the Purgatory Divine Ape put down the giant bones in its hands, and its blood-stained mouth cracked open, emitting a low hum: "Feitong, I'll leave these to you to handle."
The White Fox Beast, which had been squatting nearby for half the day, instantly howled with excitement: "No problem, Jiang Hou."
Boom! The White Fox Beast spewed a torrent of red Void Power from its mouth, enveloping the pile of four ferocious beast skeletons stacked like a small mountain before its eyes.
Under the intense spatial fluctuations, the surrounding space, along with the ferocious beast skeletons, continuously contracted, finally swallowed into the space within the White Fox Beast.
Instantly, the stomach of the White Fox Beast swelled to double its size at a visible rate, giving off the impression of an eight-month pregnancy.
With hundreds of High-Tier Ferocious Beasts torn or blasted apart, plus the skeletons of four Tier Seven Ferocious Beasts over a hundred meters long, even with its large internal space, the White Fox Beast was somewhat struggling with fullness.
But this happy burden, it could take as much as it came.
"Jiang, Jiang Hou, a bit full." The White Fox Beast hummed as it lay on the ground, a face of contentment and happiness.
It felt that by digesting today's bounty, along with half of the remaining Void Egg, even if it couldn't leap into Tier Seven straight away, it could surely reach Tier Six Peak.
The Purgatory Divine Ape shook its head, growling low: "I thought your stomach was limitless; I didn't expect you couldn't handle just this much."
As it spoke, it looked towards the little girl swinging her feet on its shoulder, and after a slight pause, its enormous body rapidly shrunk, instantly reverting to a human Emperor form.
The little girl, suddenly left without support, didn't fall directly to the ground; her white dress emitted a colorful glow, floating in mid-air.
Looking at Jiang Hou, who had suddenly shrunk so much and took on a form just like her, the red-haired girl wasn't surprised.
It seemed that in her eyes, Jiang Hou was always like this.
Jiang Hou looked up and asked the red-haired girl hovering mid-air: "Huang, we're going back. Do you want to come with us?"
This girl was very mysterious, unlike other ancient life forms born from Ancient Relics, with an inexplicable sense of familiarity, so Jiang Hou planned to take her back.
Then let the base's Feng Qing take a look.
As a well-known research expert in the country and a seasoned Innate Superpower User, Feng Qing's strength might not surpass Jiang Hou's, but his knowledge was undoubtedly broader.
The pink little girl nodded happily without hesitation: "Yes, Huang wants to be with Daddy." Saying this, she flew down from the air, rushing toward Jiang Hou.
Watching the approaching girl, Jiang Hou instinctively reached out to catch her.
His actions were inexplicably skilled, as if he truly had a daughter before.
What nonsense. Jiang Hou shook his head, tossing away the strange feeling in his mind, then looking at the White Fox Beast: "Feitong, it's about time to head back."
The White Fox Beast nodded obediently, its massive body rapidly shrinking, transforming into a white kitty of just two months, jumping onto Jiang Hou's shoulder.
However, seeing the happy little girl lying on the other shoulder of Jiang Hou, the white kitty bared its teeth, making a fierce expression.
Against the equally mysterious little girl born from the Ancient Relic, the White Fox Beast felt an inexplicable sense of rejection.
As if its own status was under threat.
Ignoring the kitty's reaction, Jiang Hou, holding the little girl in one arm, had the mark on his hand glowing, instantly twisting and folding the surrounding space, with images flashing before his eyes.
In just a blink, they returned to the room in the real world.
But upon returning, Jiang Hou was taken aback; the little girl in his arms was gone.
Meow~ The white kitty also made a sound of surprise; during the transmission just now, it didn't sense anything unusual, so how could someone just vanish?
Jiang Hou pondered: "Feitong, you stay here, I'm going back to check."
At this moment, it was still before dawn, and Jiang Hou, with his inherited mark, could freely enter and exit the ruins. As he finished speaking, the black mark on his hand glowed again.
With a twist of space before his eyes, Jiang Hou returned to the ruins once more.
Boom!
The violent chaotic Void Power roared, emitting powerful suction that devoured everything around, comparable to a level twenty hurricane, making Jiang Hou's long hair wildly dance.
This time, Jiang Hou didn't appear in the ruin's secret realm but at the original entrance to the relic.
And the ruins, perfectly intact just moments ago, had disappeared, replaced by an immense hole in the earth, with no end in sight in any direction.
It was as if that ancient ruins world had been directly 'dug out.'
"What's going on?" Jiang Hou's expression was heavy; it had only been a minute since he left and returned, yet a monumental change had occurred here.
Most importantly, the red-haired girl had also vanished, leaving no trace behind.
Boom!
Black-red Demonic Energy exploded from Jiang Hou, his figure shot out like a bullet, diving into the violent chaotic flow of the void, like a beam piercing through everything.
"Huang, can you hear my voice?"
Jiang Hou's long howl echoed through this chaotic and tumultuous area, but from all directions, there was no response.
......
In the morning, Siyu, rubbing her sleepy eyes, yawned and opened the door, catching the aroma wafting from the kitchen.
The girl walked briskly to the kitchen, seeing Jiang Hou bustling about, while the white kitty lay languidly by the dining table: "Jiang Hou, is it crab yolk fried rice again this morning?"
Jiang Hou nodded: "Yes, this stuff is quite effective; we want to keep eating it for a while and see if any resistance to its absorption develops."
"Hey! Jiang Hou, why do I feel like you're a bit down? What happened?" Siyu was quite sharp, immediately sensing subtle changes in Jiang Hou's mood from his tone.
Jiang Hou turned back with a smile: "Nothing, just had a dream last night."
"Dreamt that I seemed to have a daughter who kept calling me 'daddy,' and because the dream was so real, I felt like something was missing after waking up."
"A daughter? Cute? What did she look like?" Siyu seemed fascinated by this topic.
