Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant Chapter 2466 - 224: Black Fox_3

"What is your name?"

Yet suddenly, the eight fox tails plunged toward him, stabbing like sharp spears!

The Black Fox arched its spine, its eyes brimming with scorn, savagery, and icy chill!

This turn of events caught everyone off guard, but Wang Ba remained utterly calm, as a verdant glow burst from his form, and right before the eight tails could strike him, they swerved aside in the final instant, bending at an astonishing angle to smash into one another!

Those eight tails smashed together, scattering the freshly dispersed Chaos Origin Substance into a hazy, dust-like surge, along with a thunderous blast that shook the air.

That surge of mist stopped dead right before Wang Ba, yet he hadn't budged even a fraction, holding his ground without the slightest shift, while he serenely regarded the Eight-tailed Heavenly Fox, his face showing perfect poise:

"You still refuse to submit?"

Unexpectedly, the Eight-tailed Heavenly Fox gazed at Wang Ba in a daze, then abruptly lunged ahead with its front paws, dropping to the ground in reverence like a devotee, and humbly declared:

"I was merely testing to see if you were capable, and as it turns out, my judgment was correct. I am willing to sincerely and wholeheartedly submit to the immortal."

While speaking, it quietly shifted into a small black fox. Unlike its earlier massive, intimidating shape that struck terror, it now looked alluring and captivating, every bit as tempting as a female Cultivator skilled in Charming Skills, as it bounded lightly to Wang Ba’s feet and nuzzled against the edge of his robe.

Wang Ba, observing this, gave a faint shake of his head:

"How deceitful can beasts be, it’s just amusing."

He casually lifted his hand, resting it atop the Black Fox’s head.

At once, countless Divine Patterns seeped under the Black Fox’s fur.

Only then did the Eight-tailed Heavenly Fox think to fight back, but upon locking eyes with Wang Ba’s steady gaze, its frame quivered in terror, permitting those Divine Patterns to invade its body and Primordial Spirit...

He softly lifted the Eight-tailed Heavenly Fox, caressing its head, then effortlessly spread apart its rear legs for a quick look, grasping the situation, Wang Ba mulled it over briefly:

"You didn’t answer my question earlier, clearly you don’t have a name..."

The Black Fox clamped its legs together, displaying a touch of shame, and upon hearing this, it wriggled a bit to lift its head, as if eager to clarify.

But Wang Ba appeared to have already devised something, and promptly remarked with a hint of impatience:

"I see you wield your tail like a sword, with fierce attacks, so how about calling you... ’Tie Zhu’?"

The Black Fox’s form went rigid for a moment, its gaze turning blank.

"It seems you have good taste and like this name."

Wang Ba, noticing this, nodded approvingly.

The name he devised this time fit the other’s fighting style remarkably well, no surprise that the Black Fox took to it so readily.

The Black Fox finally snapped out of it, thrashing wildly in resistance.

"I won’t talk to you for now."

Wang Ba scanned the nearby emptiness, where various Black Foxes materialized, curiosity gleaming in his stare.

These Black Foxes, ranging from those with five, six, seven tails, down to singles, were probably the offspring or kin of the Eight-tailed Heavenly Fox.

Wang Ba, upon seeing them, showed no hesitation, promptly gathering up these Black Foxes, sparing a few while tucking the others away in his sleeve.

Though the bloodline of these Black Foxes aligned with that of the Eight-tailed Heavenly Fox, subtle variations existed, clearly from diverging paths in their development or advancements. Per his intentions, he could certainly raise yet another Eighth Tier divine beast from the Fox Clan via the Ten Thousand Beasts Unbridled Technique.

Once he had gathered them, Wang Ba prepared to depart, but ’Tie Zhu’ abruptly called out:

"Hold on."

It looked a bit dejected, yet sprang nimbly into the fractured Realm Embryo.

Its eight fox tails, from the base, abruptly swelled, reaching inward, and soon extracted a bunch of objects.

Wang Ba eyed them briefly, spotting plenty of magic treasures, Dao Treasures, spirit materials, and such, obviously looted from waylaid Human Cultivators.

Next, it hauled out more spirit materials from the Realm Embryo’s interior, and Wang Ba, examining them closely for a bit, gave a small nod:

"These spirit materials are of high rank, and can be used for the Bloodline Breakthrough of these divine beasts."

After commending this, he didn’t hold back, sweeping all the items into his possession.

Afterward, he stowed away the Black Fox, which wore a sycophantic look while attempting to suggest a new name, and in a flicker, reappeared near several Realm Sea vortices deep within the Soul Falling expanse.

Gazing at those Realm Sea vortices, Wang Ba sensed a strange urge to head back to the Sea of Chaos Realm, but he swiftly quelled the feeling, planted a marker in the vicinity, and then slipped away unnoticed...
