Chapter 224: Black Fox
Fallen Soul Swamp.
The hazy emptiness looked like a bog, appearing to shift while staying the same.
Wang Ba quietly appeared just beyond the Fallen Soul Swamp, casting his eyes across this shadowy abyss.
Any traces from his earlier clash here with the Northern Great Bodhisattva had vanished entirely, yet at his present cultivation level, he could faintly detect the swarm of beings lurking inside the Fallen Soul Swamp without even stepping foot within.
Despite that, he stayed composed and casually advanced into the Fallen Soul Swamp.
A ghostly wail assaulted his primordial spirit, as though it aimed to shatter one's soul.
Upon his entry, the concealed entities throughout the entire Fallen Soul Swamp detected his presence, awakening the whole area as they quietly rushed toward him in unison.
The ghostly wail drew nearer right away.
Wang Ba ignored it all, his form blurring as he effortlessly evaded those void-lurking creatures, materializing without a sound after a few shifts directly in front of the enormous realm embryo concealed in the Fallen Soul Swamp.
He tilted his head upward a bit.
This realm embryo was impossibly vast, throbbing gently as it drew in the nearby chaos origin substance.
As though the prior assault from inside the realm embryo against the Northern Great Bodhisattva had never happened, the area felt serene and balanced, with the realm embryo continuing its pulses undisturbed and oblivious.
Still, a faint killing intent lurked inside, slowly encircling him...
Wang Ba clasped his hands at his back, drifting nearer in an unhurried manner.
Seeming to realize Wang Ba was no easy prey, the realm embryo abruptly tore apart, unleashing a streak of black light that flashed like lightning.
With a sharp 'whoosh', it thrust directly toward Wang Ba!
Wang Ba's outline disappeared in an instant, the black light slamming into the spot he'd occupied, fracturing the surrounding void like brittle glass with fissures expanding quickly...
The black light's true form emerged—a lengthy, fluffy, but razor-sharp black tail.
Wang Ba reappeared without a trace, eyeing the black tail embedded in the void, then proceeding onward to the realm embryo without pause.
This sight clearly provoked the entity inside the realm embryo, prompting multiple black lights to erupt from the membrane's splits, lunging along the route Wang Ba had followed!
Gales howled, chaos origin substance churned wildly, and the shrieks echoed without end.
The void-hidden creatures appeared to get an order, abandoning their stealth to accelerate and charge at him!
Piercing shrieks blended with the subtle wailing, on the verge of ripping apart one's consciousness!
Wang Ba acted oblivious, his face impassive, strolling relaxed amid the barrage of tails, slipping through invisible openings with ease.
He refrained from any action until nearing the realm embryo, which suddenly burst wide, revealing two vicious claws; a black fox with crimson eyes and a malevolent muzzle leaped from the cracks in the realm embryo, engulfing Wang Ba like a blaze of dark flames!
The black fox's form matched the scale of a continent, dwarfing Wang Ba to the size of a mere glow-worm.
In that instant, as the black fox surged forward, the surrounding chaos origin substance flowed backward fiercely, while the encircling creatures scattered in panic, some shredded apart in a flash by the force of the black fox's dash...
Observing this fearsome display, Wang Ba merely squinted his eyes, his sight rapidly surveying the foe's frame in mere moments, then giving an approving nod:
“Eight-tailed Heavenly Fox, truly on the verge of becoming a ninth rank divine beast...”
His attention shifted to the black fox's tails; apart from the eight wildly coiling, serpentine tails, another one peeked from the base as a short stub, writhing fiercely and swiftly elongating into a full tail.
Nevertheless, it posed no threat in his view.
“Attempting to scare me off with this?”
Wang Ba kept his composure, fully grasping the black fox's scheme.
“Yet it truly shows promise for reaching the ninth rank.”
The emergence of the ninth fox tail confirmed the eight-tailed Heavenly Fox's impressive aptitude.
That said, Wang Ba's attitude only enraged the eight-tailed Heavenly Fox more.
From the black fox's rear, the eight lengthy tails plus the phantom ninth one fanned out like a barrier, morphing into dark, blade-resembling serpents that hurtled at Wang Ba amid successive 'whoosh whoosh whoosh' noises!
Nine tails struck at once with overwhelming force, sealing off the area surrounding Wang Ba and swiftly shrinking his room to maneuver.
Confronting the black fox's all-out assault, Wang Ba chose not to clash directly, his shape shimmering faintly to sidestep a rapid lunge from one 'black serpent', while quickly uttering:
“Taoist Friend, I've arrived with a chance for you—would you hear me out?”
Yet Wang Ba's remark failed to sway the eight-tailed Heavenly Fox; its nine tails accelerated rather than halting, weaving like blades, their thunderous clashes piercing straight to the primordial spirit, far more alarming than the uproar from the fox offspring's exploits—the sheer noise from this black fox's nine tails could drive nascent Crossing Tribulation cultivators to insanity, utterly daunting.
