They will absorb the power of the Earth Stone to complete the final evolution, but how long this will take is unknown.

Under the dim light, the slaughterhouse for exotic beasts is filled with a thick smell of rust and blood.

Piercing howls rise and fall, echoing between the cold walls. One by one, exotic beasts are tightly bound by iron chains, their pupils flashing with fear and despair.

Many exotic beasts are being hacked at with slaughter sabers by the butchers.

The floor of the slaughterhouse is covered with coagulated blood, the crimson stains intertwining with the dark brown marble floor to form a cruel picture.

The butchers, responsible for the slaughter, wear leather coats stained with blood, their slaughter sabers gleaming coldly. Every swing is accompanied by the howling of exotic beasts and the splatter of blood.

The butchers are very skilled; with a single stab, the exotic beast instantly dies, its head chopped off by the butcher, rolling onto the blood-stained ground.

Apart from the dead exotic beasts, there are also many living ones here.

The air is filled with the scent of death, and those exotic beasts, deprived of life, ultimately leave behind a land of blood pollution and the indifferent smiles of the butchers.

Blood is permeating through the ground, seeping downward, eventually becoming drops of extremely pure blood, joining the Blood River.

Amidst this bloody storm, a small exotic beast curls in the corner, its eyes full of confusion and fear of the world.

Its weak breathing is almost inaudible amidst the clamor of the slaughterhouse, as if in the next moment it will be devoured by merciless fate.

The young beast had once roamed the Sea Divine Secret Realm but somehow fell into a spatial rift, ending up here in a daze.

Initially, a butcher intended to completely annihilate it, but seeing it was too weak, decided to spare it temporarily.

Suddenly, the gaze of one young exotic beast became firm as it struggled to stand up. Despite its trembling limbs, it inched its way toward the door,

its body covered in stench-inducing blood pollution.

The butchers did not notice this scene as they continued their daily slaughter work. Meanwhile, the young exotic beast was ready to make a final struggle for survival.

It had a vague premonition that if it could escape from here, it could live another life.

The exotic beast crawled out little by little, its heart pounding; could it escape pursuit and be granted a new life?

At that moment, the slaughterhouse door creaked open.

Ye Bai and some others filed in.

The butchers all turned their eyes onto Ye Bai.

Ye Bai immediately smelled the nauseating stench emanating from the butchers, a smell of corpses decomposing.

[Blood Demon Clone: The Blood Demon kills people alive to collect enough blood, then burrows into their corpses to replace them.]

My gosh, the Blood Demon has killed everyone here, my goodness.

The Blood Demon disregards everything in order to summon the Demon God.

"Stop all slaughter activities, and hurry out." Anna shouted harshly.

The Blood Demon's clones were slightly displeased, raising their blood-stained slaughter sabers.

Just as they were ready to swing, the Blood Demon secretly delivered new orders.

He instructed the clones not to act hastily and to retreat for now; it was not the time to clash with Ye Bai and others, as he was somewhat wary of Ye Bai.

Because he had forcibly taken down the extraordinarily sublime Corpse Speaker.

Thus, in the eyes of Blood Demon Du Bo, Ye Bai was like a demon.

If Ye Bai found out that he hadn't died and was secretly manipulating the underground of the South Heaven Gate Fortress, gathering the Blood River,

he would certainly be punched to death by the furious Zhang Dashan.

Only after summoning the Blood Demon God did Du Bo feel backed up and reliant.

It was difficult for the Blood River to recover to four-fifths, and now Du Bo absolutely wouldn't allow Ye Bai to disrupt his plans.

The butchers, parasitized by the Blood Demon, swayed as they walked away.

Ye Bai picked up the small scale-armored exotic beast on the ground.

The young beast wanted to struggle but found itself too weak.

"Little one, it seems you were really frightened."

In Ye Bai's eyes, this was the legendary exotic beast, the Water Qilin Beast.

It was a descendant of Qilin, naturally auspicious.

Once the Water Qilin Beast was contracted, his fortune would sail smoothly, not easily manipulated by others.

Ye Bai had taken the initiative, saving the Water Qilin Beast.

He happened to have neither a water beast nor an exotic beast to manipulate fate.

With the Water Qilin Beast, Ye Bai no longer feared someone using curse-class skills to track him or find his traces.

His destiny line would be disrupted by the Water Qilin Beast.

Ye Bai...

This evolution method I've never seen before.

No wonder it's a Holy Water Qilin Beast.

Ye Bai thought of silently giving the little one a thumbs up.

Little buddy, your evolution baffles even a professional researcher like me.

"Sunflower Emperor, take care of this little buddy."

The Sunflower Emperor took the small buddy covered with blood pollution from Ye Bai's hand.

It used its roots to absorb the blood mist from the Water Qilin Beast's body.

Soon, a Water Qilin Beast covered in light blue scales appeared.

Its big eyes blinked, appearing very cute.

Even the Sunflower Emperor found the Water Qilin Beast beautiful; this should be the innate luck of the Water Qilin Beast.

"Ye Bai, what should we do next?"

The person possessing earth talent, named Yaro, asked.

His exotic beast was a Burrowing Rat, a creature resembling a screaming prairie dog.

However, its paws were thin and long, each one ten centimeters long.

"Have the Burrowing Rat dig fifty holes in the ground."

"Later, I'll place the Stone Lion Core and Earth Crystal Core inside."

"Then we can watch as the Stone Lion Core evolves."

"But this might take some time."

Yaro listened but didn't say anything, just lightly nodded to the Burrowing Rat.

Hard red marble cracked as if it were paper under the Burrowing Rat's easy digging.

It easily excavated a deep, unfathomable pit.

The underground sludge looked like blood-red slime.

Ye Bai nodded to Anna, who then sent someone to bury the Stone Lion Core, along with the Dark Crystal Core and Earth Crystal Core, in the deep pits.

Once fifty holes were filled, Ye Bai clapped his hands and stood amidst the blood pollution. The Sunflower Emperor brought a chair and let Ye Bai sit down.

"Have all of you step out first. I will inform you in time if there is any special situation while I stay here to observe the evolution of the Stone Lion Core."

Leave someone to guard the outside, and I'll notify you if there's anything unusual, Anna told them.

Anna and the others looked at each other blankly.

No one could quite fathom why Ye Bai would remain, watching the Stone Lion Core's evolutionary process through the ground with his eyes.
