Stronger from Earth

Three powerful exotic Divine Beasts appeared before Wang Xuan, and he named them Thorn Shadow, Divine Shield, and War Demon respectively.

Thorn Shadow specializes in assassination, standing no taller than one zhang. Its four legs move with lightning speed, its arms like blades that seal the throat with blood, and its mandibles strike like spears at any time.

Blending the bloodline of the Void-Devouring Beast, Thorn Shadow’s body is formless and insubstantial, allowing it to merge into space at will, rendering it invisible and untouchable, possessing horrifying speed for surprise attacks.

It also contains the bloodlines of the Celestial Mantis, White Tiger, and Nine Nether Bird, making its assassination techniques exceedingly powerful.

This fusion Divine Beast, created by Wang Xuan, might be appearing in the world for the first time, perfectly integrating the strengths of over a dozen Divine Beasts.

In terms of life level, it is only at the Peak of Grotto Void, but when facing opponents it can contend against Star Lords of the Grand Star Position in direct combat; during assassinations, even Star Lords of the Super Star Position seldom escape alive.

This kind of assassin may only be disregarded by Void Cultivators, as ninety-nine percent of life forms below the Void Realm must remain on guard.

Divine Shield specializes in guarding, with core bloodlines originating from the Black Tortoise and Phoenix, merging multiple Divine Beast bloodlines focused on defense and Life Force.

Divine Shield’s back resembles a turtle shell, its four legs like an elephant’s, with a thick plate on its head; in terms of defense, not even the Black Tortoise Divine Beast can compare.

In ordinary times, it resembles a bulldozer, crashing through and destroying any obstruction.

When facing formidable enemies, at the Peak of Grotto Void, it can withstand most attacks from Star Lords.

When there is no escape, it retracts its shell to form a ball, protecting other life forms within.

Life forms below the Void Realm are almost powerless against it due to its exceptional defense and terrifying Life Force, quickly recovering from any injury.

As for the warrior template War Demon, it is an Exotic Beast formed by merging the bloodlines of the True Dragon, Nine Nether Ant, Hell Divine Elephant, and other Divine Beasts.

It has three heads, six arms, four legs, and its entire body is covered in heavy scales, with defense beyond imagination, and possesses sky-splitting earth-shattering power; its six arms wield weapons that can tear through many foes.

The three heads can perform various miraculous Divine Secret Skills, and its trinity Primordial Spirit excels at Divine Soul Skill.

In terms of enduring killing capacity, few life forms in the world can rival it; placed on the battlefield, it becomes a machine for harvesting lives.

A War Demon Exotic Beast at the Peak of Grotto Void slays those of the same tier like mowing grass; even Star Lords of the Super Star Position cannot withstand its fierce battle.

Thorn Shadow, Divine Shield, and War Demon, these Exotic Beasts born from fusion Divine Beasts, are Wang Xuan’s creation.

In front of Wang Xuan, they may seem weak as grass, easily exterminated, yet before other life forms, they are absolutely extraordinary.

Because most geniuses are no match for them, only powerful prodigies and extraordinary beings can compete.

The only ones who can suppress them might be those top-tier prodigies, these figures have hope of becoming Immortal apex extraordinary beings.

"These three fusion model Divine Beasts should handle most situations, the other models aren’t needed for now."

Wang Xuan infused them with fighting awareness and memories, enhancing their combat instincts.

Creating Thorn Shadow, Divine Shield, and War Demon wasn’t difficult for him, just required considerable time and Creation Origin.

With idle time on his hands, Wang Xuan constantly nurtured the three Exotic Beasts, preparing to build a legion of 108 Exotic Beasts.

Such a legion would be enough to conquer a Basic Middle Thousand World, participate in a large-scale battle.

After the fusion of Divine Beast bloodlines drew to a close, Wang Xuan focused his main effort on the Time Domain.

During this period, the Time Domain progressed rapidly, with progress already advanced to over ninety percent.

Affecting the fate of other life forms, Wang Xuan’s Time Domain intersected with the River of Destiny, thus able to see the future life veins of beings.

As the Time Domain grew, Wang Xuan could clearly see the past of other life forms, performing Time Reversal.

A Heaven-Swallowing Python of True Tier Lower Rank appeared before Wang Xuan, its aura pressing many demons backward.

Before it could speak, Wang Xuan had already observed its life’s past via Time Reversal.

Three hundred years ago, near the equator, a colorful python was born, and after thirty-six years of devouring prey, its body grew to ten zhang.

In terms of life level and strength, it had reached the Human Immortal tier, but its consciousness remained ignorant.

Suddenly, one day, the Mother Star’s Origin devoured an Otherworld, showering Celestial Dew Rain globally, awakening its spirit beneath the Dew’s baptism, and its cultivation rose a tier.

Later, upon encountering local demons and being introduced to the alliance, receiving Cultivation Techniques and bloodline purifying Secret Techniques, the python’s strength advanced rapidly.

Fifty years ago, entering the Gate of the World for campaigns, it gained favor from the Mother Star’s Will, risking its life to break through to True Tier Domain.

Upon entering True Tier, it sensed a shortfall in its lowly bloodline, discovered the Heaven-Swallowing Python bloodline nestled within, and began nurturing and refining.

Alas, its Heaven-Swallowing Python bloodline was thin, nowhere within Mother Star’s territory did another True Tier Heaven-Swallowing Python appear; it sought senior advice but found none, thus groped blindly forward.

Unfortunately, fifty years passed, its cultivation though advanced to late-stage Grotto Void, yet the Heaven-Swallowing Python bloodline progressed weakly.

Were it to fully awaken the Heaven-Swallowing Python bloodline, its power and potential would certainly surge greatly, within a hundred years having a chance to become a Star Lord!

Only recently, upon hearing rumors of the Longevity Taoist, did it rush over without hesitation.

After concluding Time Reversal, Wang Xuan continued to probe the Heaven-Swallowing Python’s future veins.

Its future veins held numerous clues, with dozens of long lines depicting its journey to advance Void, becoming a super giant beast.

Furthermore, three routes showed it becoming a top-tier Demon Saint at Half-Step Immortal, renowned in Earth Civilization.

Wang Xuan mused: If I grant it awakening of the most powerful Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python bloodline, would its future veins change?

What Wang Xuan now saw were the existing future veins of the Heaven-Swallowing Python, yet the future before it comes can be changed.

Upon this thought, a life vein leading directly to Half-Step Immortal illuminated, showing that this Heaven-Swallowing Python could indeed aspire to life forms at this tier.

Before the Heaven-Swallowing Python spoke, Wang Xuan said, "I already understand what you seek."

He pointed his finger, and the Heaven-Swallowing Python of True Tier Lower Rank involuntarily floated into Wang Xuan’s hand, shrinking.

The bloodline runes of the Heaven-Swallowing Python, familiar in touch, were extracted by Wang Xuan and through tracing, directly reaching the strongest Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python bloodline runes.

However, Wang Xuan did not inject the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python bloodline runes into its body, but instead modified them, integrating other Divine Beast bloodlines.

With prior experience, Wang Xuan effortlessly merged the True Dragon bloodline and Mortal Giant Python bloodline into the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python bloodline.

Thus, a new bloodline was born; although unstable, difficult to pass on via offspring, it presented an unimaginable opportunity for the Heaven-Swallowing Python before him.

At this moment, Wang Xuan saw within the River of Destiny, a new life vein emerged, branching into a dozen tributaries.

Among these veins, Wang Xuan observed this Heaven-Swallowing Python might die midway, or suffer stagnant cultivation due to a bloodline riot, or soar to become a being of Void Realm, or become an Immortal.

Indeed, there were three routes where this Heaven-Swallowing Python became an Immortal.

Seeing this outcome, even Wang Xuan himself found it hard to believe.

Through his intervention, this Heaven-Swallowing Python unexpectedly held hope of becoming Immortal, and the success probability was three out of thirteen.
