    Boom!


    Arge cluster ofva rose up from the volcano, apanied by thick smoke. Lin Zhen watched from nearby, his Lightning Wings gently pping, suspending his body in mid-air while his Spiritual Power Shield was activated.<div>


    After observing four or five eruptions, he found that the volcano erupts violently about every two hours, then gradually weakens.


    Calcting the time and sensing the weakening power of the volcano, Lin Zhen gave his Lightning Wings a strong p and plunged into the dense smoke of the crater.


    He dared not let the Lightning Wings speed up too much. It would be a disaster if he identally rushed into theva.


    Upon entering the mouth of the volcano, an incredibly scorching heatwave hit him. Consumption of his spiritual power began to rapidly increase.


    However, Lin Zhen, with his peak Dark Gold Late Stage spiritual power, could hold up for about five minutes in this heatwave.


    The redva beneath was tumbling and rolling, seemingly like a bottomless abyss engulfing everything.


    Looking around, the surroundings appeared like a barrel. He didn’t notice anything abnormal. Could the Gxy Beast be lurking deep in theva? If so, Lin Zhen would have no way to get it out.


    No! It must not be at the bottom of theva. It should be hiding somewhere.


    pping his Lightning Wings, Lin Zhen began to descend into the volcano, getting gradually closer to theva zone.


    The deeper he went, the more unbearable the high temperature became, causing Lin Zhen’s spiritual power to deplete even faster. If it wasn’t for the shield, he would have been on fire by now.


    It was approximately 1,500 meters from the mouth of the volcano to theva. He descended about a kilometer, leaving less than 500 meters to the rollingva below. Lin Zhen stopped there.<div>


    Near the volcanic wall, Lin Zhen began to fly quickly along it.


    Using high-speed flight of a kilometer per second, Lin Zhen descended another fifty meters in a spiral motion, but found nothing.


    Holding his breath, he descended another thirty meters, and still found nothing.


    The scorching heatwave was taking its toll. Lin Zhen felt his spiritual power was just barely coping. With a p of his Lightning Wings, he ascended, fleeing the Fire Burning Mountain.


    After a full cycle of spiritual power recovery outside, and waiting until the volcano erupted again, Lin Zhen once again dived into the volcano to continue his exploration.


    Previously, he had explored down to a depth of 1,080 meters. This time, he went down to 1,150 meters, and after finding nothing, he ascended again.


    The third time, Lin Zhen reached a depth of 1,220 meters.


    The fourth time, he went down to 1,300 meters.


    The fifth time, to 1,350 meters.


    By the sixth time, when he had explored down to 1,400 meters, Lin Zhen finally made a discovery.


    Below, about fifty meters further down, almost directly above theva, there was a cave nting downwards, as if something had smashed into it.<div>


    Lin Zhen’s eyes lit up. If this cave was indeed created by a meteorite, then the Gxy Beast must be inside.


    However, his spiritual power was running low, so he ascended once again to recuperate, and then prepared for the next dive.


    He took out the liquid metal, covered it with the cold air from within the Dark Star, recing the Spiritual Shield, and then dived into the volcano again.


    With thisyer of protection, Lin Zhen finally dived into the cave near theva. The cave was not deep, about twenty meters in he reached what seemed to be the end.


    However, what was strange was that theva hadn’t flooded into the cave. Normally, during a volcanic eruption, theva would gush up and backfill the cave. He couldn’t understand why this hadn’t urred.


    Lin Zhen, with Broken Jade Spear in hand, was fully on guard. If the Gxy Beast was vicious, he would teleport away immediately.


    But when he saw what was actually inside the cave, he waspletely stunned.


    “What is this…?”


    A creature, barelyrger than a pug,y there on itsst legs, seemingly unaware of Lin Zhen’s arrival.


    Its body was covered in ayer of golden fur, with a hint of reddish tint. Around its neck, there was a circle of mane, much like a lion’s, which was slightly damp.


    It had small ws, arge mouth, and rtivelyrge eyes that seemed to be double-lidded.


    “A lion dog?” Lin Zhen scratched his head. Was this creature the Gxy Beast? Or just some mutant creature from the volcano?


    After looking around, Lin Zhen noticed several pieces of broken eggshells on the ground. The shells were wrapped in some rocks, indicating that the creature had indeede out of an eggshell from a meteorite.


    An eggshell? So, it was oviparous? Isn’t it a dog? How long since it was born?


    As Lin Zhen was in thought, the “lion dog” opened its eyes.


    Uponying eyes on Lin Zhen, its eyes widened, and it bared its teeth sharply!


    Even though its baby teeth were still small, an overwhelming aura gushed out towards him!


    Power of the Star Realm!


    Gxy Beast!


    Lin Zhen teleported and shed out of the cave, then straight up into the sky.


    Flying several hundred meters high, Lin Zhen looked back, but he did not see the puppy chasing after him.


    Lin Zhen initially wanted to flee, but he was reluctant. The pup seemed to be extremely weak, as it must have just been born and not been fed yet, it could not be powerful.


    Bold faced and unyielding, Lin Zhen turned back and re-entered the cave.


    Upon seeing Lin Zhen, the puppy opened its eyes and hummed, though Lin Zhen was a bit shocked, he did not sense any malice from it and slowly approached.


    Perhaps it was the creature’s cute exterior that made one lower their guard, Lin Zhen crouched down three meters from it, ready to teleport at a moment’s notice.


    This time he took a careful observation, noticing that the egg from which the creature had hatched had not been cracked open long ago, and the shell was as red as if it was going to ignite. It must have absorbed too muchva energy.


    Lin Zhen narrowed his eyes and began analyzing based on what he knew.


    “This Gxy Beast has fallen here for a millennium. Without adult beasts to incubate it, it has taken a thousand years to hatch, nurtured only by this volcanicva, its life borne of the me.”


    “ording to the legend of the Gxy Beast, the first meal of its offspring is the fresh blood of their mother, a rite of passage that helps cultivate their future ferocity and inherit the elder’s power. However, it hasn’t eaten anything yet and is severelycking food and nutrition. Although there are some organisms inside the volcano that also rely on mes to survive, their numbers are too small. Therefore, its progress has been dyed, and it only appeared after extraterrestrial civilizations ruled the Earth.”


    “It should still be in its infant stage now. If left alone, it could survive, but the rate of growth would be slow.”


    “I wonder if I should try to feed it.”


    Once this idea passed through Lin Zhen’s mind, it began to grow uncontrobly. He had lived many years in hisst life, but never considered the possibility of owning a Gxy Beast.


    Once fully grown, it can easily destroy a civilization. People would normally be avoiding it at all costs, and who could think of rearing one.


    Lin Zhen tried to approach it again, and the Gxy Beast opened its eyes, its teeth were exposed again, it seemed to dislike Lin Zhen.


    “That’s not right? It has just been born and should not exhibit any aggression, why would it be hostile towards me?”


    After several attempts, Lin Zhen found the root cause.


    The cold aura emanating from the liquid metal!


    This icy aura was what Lin Zhen used to resist the heat waves. As the Gxy Beast was born of absorbing theva, the natural opposition of fire and ice made it dislikes Lin Zhen.


    Without hesitation, Lin Zhen immediately dismissed the liquid metal and initiated his Spiritual Shield. This time, the Gxy Beast closed its eyes andid down, rolling around slightly.


    Looking at its skinny stomach, Lin Zhen knew it hadn’t fed yet, he hesitated for a moment, then took out a piece of crab meat from his ring and offered it to the creature that resembled a puppy.


    “Gxy Beasts are highly intelligent, almost on par with human children, it should be able to sense good from evil. It won’t attack me.”


    Lin Zhen whispered in his heart, and inched closer.


    Just as Lin Zhen’s crab meat reached the mouth of the puppy, it suddenly opened its mouth and bit Lin Zhen’s finger!


    A sting was felt, blood streamed from the finger, but Lin Zhen did not pull his finger back and let the pup continue to suckle.


    “Primary blood! It seems the Gxy Beast does indeed feed on blood for its first meal just like the legends stated. But will my blood be okay?”


    A martial artist’s blood and Qi force are particrly vigorous. As Lin Zhen was currently an Advanced War God, the vitality in his blood exceeded that of normal people by a hundred times. The pup should be able to withstand it.


    Since it hase to this, Lin Zhen simply sat there, hoping to wait for the puppy to finish its blood meal.


    But its appetite was beyond Lin Zhen’s expectations.


    The blood kept gushing out, and the lightning power, light power, and traces of colding aura in his body were all being transferred into the puppy’s body through his blood!


    The Dark Star was continually operating to replenish the lost energy from Lin Zhen’s body,rge amounts of blood were also rapidly being lost, and he began to feel dizzy.


    “Little devil, it’s got quite an appetite!”


    Lin Zhen started feeling dizzy, he wanted to stop but was reluctant. If he stopped now, he might never get such a chance to tame this puppy again. So, he had to grit his teeth and persevere.


    He did not know how much time had passed, Lin Zhen felt a heat wave rolling in from the cave entrance, indicating the volcano was about to erupt again. He raised his hand, changed the liquid metal into a wall, andpletely blocked the entrance of the cave.


    Magma was surging outside, the temperature inside the cave rose high enough to boil water. Lin Zhen could only circte his cold aura to resist the heat. Fortunately, the puppy did not resist Lin Zhen’s cold aura this time, and it held Lin Zhen’s finger with both its paws, suckling his blood.


    A steady flow of lightning, light, and cold aura was being infused into the puppy’s body. Lin Zhen’s consciousness gradually began to blur.


    In his haze, he saw that the puppy asionally had spots of lightning shing on its body or faint glows moving across it.


    The puppy seemed to be enjoying its meal, it held Lin Zhen’s finger with its four limbs and suckled. asionally it hummed, and a puff of sulfurous smoke with sparks interspersed would emit from its nostrils.


    Its saliva and mouth fluid would also enter Lin Zhen’s body through his wounded finger, giving him a tingling, hot sensation.


    Outside, multiple heat waves had risen, Lin Zhen’s consciousness had be increasingly blurred and eventually fell into unconsciousness in the cave..
