Ye Bai's Eye of True Sight currently possesses the ability to see through objects.

He watched as the core of the Stone Lion extended countless tentacle-like threads, absorbing nearby energy to enhance its own power.

The tentacles, sharp as steel wires, pierced into the Earth Crystal Core.

Streams of earth-yellow energy flowed into the Stone Lion's core.

Ye Bai noticed that the core of the Stone Lion was continuously growing larger and also becoming increasingly blood red.

He simultaneously observed a very strange phenomenon.

That is, the core of the Stone Lion selectively absorbed the crystal cores.

The core of the Stone Lion that absorbed the Dark Core transformed from its originally pure white appearance to a dark red hue, with spikes growing on it.

Meanwhile, the Stone Lion's core that absorbed the ground's Earth Crystal Core turned a vermilion color, carrying the steadiness of the earth.

This truly made Ye Bai feel somewhat different.

And within the Secret Realm, the core of the Stone Lion transformed to earth yellow.

These three cores evolved according to different methods.

The core of the Burrowing Rat Secret Realm was managed by Ye Bai using a free-range approach, as some areas had more Earth Crystal Cores while others had less.

However, the amount of Earth Stone Milk he dripped onto the core was constant.

Now it remained to be seen which direction the Stone Lion would evolve in.

Zhang Lingxue was currently treating the injured while the Flood Dragon chaired the meeting.

He insisted that the South Heaven Gate Fortress must be defended.

As for Zhang Dashan and Han Yan, they were resting with their eyes closed, waiting for Yin Tiger to arrive.

Only by combining their strength could they stand a chance against the Magma Dragon Turtle.

Time ticked by, second by second.

The door to Ye Bai's room remained tightly shut.

Blood Demon Du Bo had the intention to head to the slaughterhouse and take out Ye Bai.

But at the crucial moment, the Blood Demon refrained.

Ye Bai was an extremely important researcher; taking out others was one thing, but eliminating Ye Bai would likely turn the entire South Heaven Gate Fortress upside down with investigations.

He had hidden the Blood River a thousand meters beneath the South Heaven Gate Fortress, prioritizing safety.

This pertained to Tier Seven Pet Beast Masters.

If a Tier Eight Pet Beast Master attacked, this place would be easily exposed.

Therefore, Blood Demon Du Bo refrained from acting recklessly.

He was also observing Ye Bai's experimental progress simultaneously.

"Goodness, no wonder he's the Young Qilin Cup champion, such innovative thinking."

"Did the core of the Stone Lion just advance like that?"

Blood Demon Du Bo found it quite illogical.

Setting up a slaughterhouse, muddying its grounds, digging up the soil, and placing the Stone Lion's core, Dark Crystal Core, and Earth Crystal Core inside was enough to promote its evolution?

This fellow isn't a researcher; he's a wizard.

The Blood Demon was speechless.

Furthermore, another reason Blood Demon chose not to target Ye Bai was because he couldn't overpower him.

As a follower of the Blood Demon God, the Blood Demon could distinctly sense that Ye Bai bore the aura of different Demon Gods.

Apparently, Ye Bai has been in contact with various Demon Gods.

"According to my latest intelligence, the Sixty-Third Demon God Andora is about to descend."

"With two Demon Gods joining forces, controlling the south and the east, the Flame Country will completely fall into the territory of the Demon Gods."

"At that time, the people of Flame Country can be forced to worship the Demon Gods, providing them with substantial Power of Faith."

The Blood Demon murmured quietly.

Having allied with the Blood Demon God from the beginning, it was wholeheartedly devoted to its master.

Night came swiftly.

The disappearance of the Thunderbird from the sky made the night sky incredibly beautiful.

As night fell, a crescent moon hung gently on the heavens, like a pristine jade hook, casting a hazy silver light that draped across the tranquil fortress.

The starry river slowly unfolded, dotted with stars like musical notes dancing in the night.

The outline of the fortress loomed ethereally in the moonlight, with Ye Bai abstaining from food and drink, observing the life progression of the Stone Lion.

As an Exotic Beast composed of inorganic material, the evolution and leap-forward of the Stone Lion was a central research theme for current researchers.

Thanks to the Eye of True Sight, Ye Bai was able to witness the entire evolution process of the Stone Lion.

After absorbing energy, the core of the Stone Lion began to show threads of blood, which multiplied and enlarged like cell division.

Eventually, it formed a heart-like pulsating blood cocoon.

With each pulse, the blood cocoon absorbed extremely pure blood energy from nearby.

The blood-red sludge in the slaughterhouse, like Slime, encased the blood cocoon.

By absorbing this blood energy, the Stone Lion's core gradually constructed a brand-new body.

Roar.

The body, limbs, and head began to take shape.

As midnight arrived, the bell of the South Heaven Gate Fortress chimed.

A group of uninvited guests flew over from afar, emitting sharp ear-piercing sounds from their mouths.

[1. Tier Six Exotic Beast Ghost Bat emerged from the Exotic Beast's rift, able to traverse shadows, a highly troublesome Exotic Beast that even the Holy Light Shining struggles to affect. They detest the pungent smell of garlic, avoiding areas that have been tainted by it. Their Crystal Cores can be used to concoct Shadow Potions.]

[2. After the Stone Lion's core evolves, you need to infuse your Spiritual Power into the evolved core beforehand, before it breaks out of its cocoon. At this stage, the evolved Stone Lion has very little combat ability. Only when its body is fully formed does it possess formidable combat strength. Celestial Dew can strengthen the Stone Lion's core foundation.]
