"What happened..."

The Longevity Body, kept by the Celestial Lion Race, suddenly exhibited a realm fluctuation of the Empty Profound Stage, astonishing both the Celestial Lion Race and the outsiders in disbelief, not understanding what had happened to her.

Even Lin Jing, who personally imparted the secret technique of the Celestial Demon Body to the counterpart, found it hard to believe.

Wait a minute...

How long has it been since he imparted the Celestial Demon Body to this Longevity Body? Just how long has passed? Half an hour? Not at all!

His own derivation using Submerged Dragon Fortune for so long had failed to grasp the Celestial Demon Body, yet the counterpart mastered it in mere moments?

Lin Jing was somewhat perplexed; had he overlooked something, causing his failure to master it...

He was still bitterly searching for a rare fire to increase his chances of mastering the Celestial Demon Body...

The disparity between people could be this vast.

However, there was something else he couldn't understand. The basic realm of this Longevity Body was only at the Golden Core Stage, even if she burnt all her life force to reach the Empty Profound Stage, wasn't that a bit exaggerated, somewhat absurd?

"The Celestial Demon Body holds too many secrets, I myself have yet to master it, unknown of its specifics. If there's a chance, I could ask her!"

Immediately after the shocking changes occurred in the Celestial Lion Saintess, her mana spread, capturing countless celestial lions, sealing them within a magical orb, and at the same time, she flew towards Lin Jing, grabbing him, intending to tear space apart and escape the secret realm of the Celestial Lion Race together.

But such a startling change ultimately disturbed the Celestial Lion Ancestor who was in deep slumber inside the secret realm.

A terrifying aura permeated the secret realm, the sky cracked, and the huge head of the Celestial Lion Ancestor emerged from an alternate space. Upon witnessing the change of its race's Longevity Body, it was equally shocked, instinctively reaching out its giant claws, attempting to seize the fleeing Longevity Body carrying Lin Jing.

At this moment, everyone understood the intent of the Celestial Lion Saintess capturing countless celestial lions.

"If you act again, they will all die."

The Longevity Body's cool voice echoed, with her mana sealing the strength on dozens of celestial lions, further warping their bodies close to deformation.

"Ancestor save us!!"

"Ancestor help!!"

"We don't want to die!"

These celestial lions, having grown on the longevity flesh and blood of the past, could never have imagined that the Longevity Body, once merely food, now held their lives in her hands.

Being within the Celestial Lion Race for years, the Longevity Body also knew very well that although the Celestial Lion Ancestor could transform outsiders into celestial lions, the transformed race members were not pureblood.

Only a small portion of pureblood celestial lions were the core members of the Celestial Lion Race, and only this batch could eat her flesh and blood.

Each of this batch of celestial lions was the darling of the Celestial Lion Ancestor, as the reproduction of pureblood offspring was incredibly challenging...

"Release them, I will let you leave." The Celestial Lion Ancestor spoke in a calm voice, yet beneath the deathly calm, was an infinite fury.

With hostages in hand, the Celestial Lion Ancestor's actions halted, its gaze turning cruel and sinister, looking unfavorably at the Longevity Body with greatly changed strength, and Lin Jing who was with her.

"Alright..."

The Longevity Body seemed to agree to this plan; yet the celestial lions she tossed remained enveloped in spheres with highly irregular mana fluctuations, like they might explode at any moment, inciting terror within the enclosed celestial lions.

The Celestial Lion Ancestor roared, immediately coalescing demon power to compress the spheres, suppressing them, while the Longevity Body had already torn through the secret realm space, fleeing directly with Lin Jing.

However, despite the efforts to suppress the raging fluctuations of these spheres, moments later, each sphere ultimately exploded. Though the exploding spheres didn't inflict material damage on the external celestial lions, their life force rapidly diminished, rendering the Celestial Lion Ancestor momentarily stunned, before erupting in a furious roar, echoing thunderously.

Instantly, over eighty percent of the celestial lion people perished on the spot.

In rage, the Celestial Lion Ancestor pursued, shaking the entire Beast God Dao. The breathtaking clash of two Empty Profound auras streaking across the Beast God Dao's sky prompted numerous powerful demon beasts and cultivators to emerge from seclusion, in curiosity about the cause behind a battle of two eminences.

"That aura, is the Celestial Lion Ancestor of the Celestial Lion Race..."

"Wasn't today supposed to be the Celestial Lion Race's ancestor worship ceremony? What on earth happened..."

"That other aura... unfamiliar, yet it possesses pinnacle Empty Profound cultivation, who is it? Are there such powerful beings still in Qingzhou?" The Beast God Dao buzzed continuously.

Meanwhile.

The Longevity Body, flying while carrying Lin Jing, coughed a mouthful of fresh blood. She wiped her lips and continued flying.

"Hey..." Lin Jing, held in her hand, was speechless: "You..."

"What exactly happened? Even if you mastered the Celestial Demon Body... this power increase is..."

"Though you taught me, you yourself couldn't cultivate it..." The Longevity Body began to speak slowly.

"The power of the Celestial Demon Body, can be freely controlled..."

"What do you mean?" Lin Jing was puzzled.

"I burned almost all my life worth, leaving only ten years for myself..."

"And the strength acquired through burning lifespan, its potency depends on how long you wish to maintain this power..."

"Using the Golden Core Realm as the base, burning twenty thousand years of lifespan to enhance power, if aiming to maintain for tens of thousands of years, it might only ascend to Nascent Soul Stage."

"If aiming to maintain for over a thousand years, the power might ascend to Divinity Transformation Stage."

"Then with your power now elevated to the Empty Profound Stage, how long can you maintain this realm... a hundred years? Ten years?" Lin Jing was taken aback, having not anticipated such rules for the Celestial Demon Body, realizing that the lower the temporary elevation, the longer this elevation could be maintained.

The more extravagant the elevation, the shorter its maintenance time!

"Less than a day, I burned twenty thousand years of life essence to elevate my realm to the pinnacle of the Empty Profound Stage, only capable of maintaining for less than a day." The Longevity Body spoke: "Within a day, if we cannot shake off the Celestial Lion Ancestor, then all will be..."

Lin Jing was stunned.

"So after a day, you'll fall back to the Golden Core, with only ten years of life left?"

"Yes, but to escape from that place, to kill dozens of celestial lions, it's all worth it..." In a short time, the Longevity Body's eyes had already regained their sparkle, enveloped in the hope of life.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely help you escape... I won't let you fall back into the hands of the Celestial Lion Race, repeating my fate."

After a silence, Lin Jing said: "Hold on, I'm not a fool, why would I actually go to the Celestial Lion Race myself, this is my avatar. If you hadn't acted, I was prepared to self-destruct. How about you leave me as a decoy and run away yourself?"

"Although your realm has elevated, without corresponding magic and experience, you probably can't be a match for the Celestial Lion Ancestor."

"Squeak."

The Longevity Body stopped speaking.
