"Is this a chaotic sky-devouring beast?"
The twelve zodiac animals approached Austin, eyeing the beast by his side with curious eyes.
It was the chaotic sky-devouring beast's first time to see so many creatures at once.
Instinctively, it immediately hid behind Austin, as if it was a little scared.
"Oh, this guy is shy!"
the twelve zodiac animals cried out in surprise.
"It seems it regards you as its own family now,"
the sky-devouring dog said to Austin.
"You are really something!"
the black bull said with a hint of envy in its tone, patting Austin on the shoulder.
"If that's the case, shouldn't this little guy call us uncles?
Is this little guy really the legendary beast, destined to inspire awe throughout the universes?
It looks very timid."
"Will such a shy guy dare to fight with others?"
The twelve zodiac animals studied the chaotic sky-devouring beast dubiously.
The chaotic sky-devouring beast couldn't handle the scrutiny. All of a sudden, it opened its mouth wide
and roared ferociously. Billowing sound waves rippled forth from its mouth.
Space and time seemed to collapse. In a flash, the chaotic sky-devouring beast gobbled up the space
around it.
Startled, the twelve zodiac animals all stepped back hastily.
"That's terrifying!
Sure enough, it is a chaotic sky-devouring beast!
It has only just been hatched, yet it is able to devour such a large space in one go!
This must be the inherited talent of the chaotic sky-devouring beast race."
The twelve zodiac animals were all amazed, nodding to each other in approval of the little beast.
"Well, sirs, it's like you said," Austin said, gently stroking the head of the chaotic sky-devouring beast.
"It has just been hatched. Naturally, it is afraid of strangers. Don't make fun of this little one."
Then, turning to talk to the chaotic sky-devouring beast, he said in a comforting tone, "They are all your
elders. They don't mean to harm you. They are just joking with you."
It was not until it heard Austin's soothing words that the chaotic sky-devouring beast calmed down.
It was known to all that chaotic sky-devouring beasts were legendary creatures that carried a noble
bloodline. Under normal circumstances, the chaotic sky-devouring beast would never allow anyone to
provoke them.
However, this chaotic sky-devouring beast in particular viewed Austin as family, so it trusted whatever
he had to say. Meekly, it backed down and looked to those elders with friendly eyes.
"Well, sirs, I'm going to take it around now to let it absorb the energy of other worlds."
Austin excused himself. Then, he left the Fallen Divine Valley with the chaotic sky-devouring beast.
'According to the statue master, the Absolute Space Sea has the best energy for this little one,'
Austin thought to himself.
'I guess I'll take you there first!'
Then, Austin led the chaotic sky-devouring beast towards the chaotic void where the three thousand
big and small universes had been located previously.
However, Austin knew that as long as he appeared in the Sea of Chaos, Humphrey would immediately
be alerted of his whereabouts.
Therefore, as soon as he left the Fallen Divine Valley, he kept the chaotic sky-devouring beast in the
world inside his body.
Just as he expected, the instant Austin walked into the chaotic void of the Sea of Chaos, a powerful
spiritual sense fluctuation immediately came from a distant desolate star.
Then, a roar rang in Austin's ears.
"Aha! It's Austin!
He finally appears again!"
All of a sudden, the star exploded with a loud bang.
A figure emerged from the star's debris. It was none other than Humphrey.
Humphrey immediately located Austin. Using a brilliant bodily movement skill, he traveled through
space and time and chased after Austin.
It didn't take long for Austin to locate Humphrey, too.
"This guy is really annoying," Austin muttered in annoyance.
"Like a ghost that haunts me!"
With his current strength, he had no reason to fear Humphrey. He was more than capable of facing him
in battle.
However, Austin didn't want to fight with Humphrey—at least, not now. Instead, his priority was to take
the chaotic sky-devouring beast into the Absolute Space Sea, so that the latter could quickly enhance
its strength.
Only then would he come back to fight against Humphrey, with the chaotic sky-devouring beast fighting
by his side.
Austin believed that, with the help of the chaotic sky-devouring beast, he could destroy Humphrey once
and for all.
Therefore, when he sensed that Humphrey was giving chase, Austin immediately activated his unique
bodily movement skill. A path of reincarnation then appeared under his feet.
Austin made his way along the path of reincarnation quickly. In just a few steps, he made it to the
chaotic void where the three thousand big and small universes had been located.
Right now, the three thousand big and small universes were already a desolate space.
Austin looked around somewhat wistfully.
'After I kill Humphrey, I will rebuild the three thousand big and small universes...'
Austin thought to himself.
After a few minutes, he arrived at the place where the Divine Tomb was located.
Entering it without hesitation, he kept going until he reached the very end of the Divine Tomb.
It wasn't his first time here, so it wasn't difficult for him to find his way around.
If it were anyone else, they might've had some difficulty here.
At last, Austin arrived at the entrance to the palace.
"Young man, it's you again."
At the gates of the palace, two huge ferocious beasts lay crouching. Both beasts had the fighting power
equal to that of a governing god.
"Sirs, I want to enter the Absolute Space Sea,"
Austin announced to the two beasts.
"And why do you want to enter the Absolute Space Sea?"
one of the beasts asked.
Both of them eyed Austin with eyes that revealed more curiosity than suspicion.
Austin, in turn, didn't hide anything from them. With a wave of his hand, he summoned the chaotic sky-
devouring beast before him.
"This is..." they said slowly, eyes widening with shock. "This is a chaotic sky-devouring beast!"
The two beasts looked at the chaotic sky-devouring beast up and down in disbelief.
The chaotic sky-devouring beast was an extremely rare legendary beast.
"Sirs, I want to take it into the Absolute Space Sea to absorb the space energy there,"
Austin explained briefly.
"I've heard about chaotic sky-devouring beasts," one of the beasts said.
"The energy there will be good for it."
"All right, then."
The other beast stood up.
"I'll take you to the Absolute Space Sea right now.
Please follow me."
The beast then turned around and walked into the palace.
Austin hurried to his side, the chaotic sky-devouring beast in tow.
Inside the palace, there was a boundless space. It was so dizzyingly infinite, with no clear direction.
Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast followed the beast wordlessly.
They didn't know how long they had walked before they finally came across an ancient teleportation
array.
Austin had been here once before. This teleportation array had transported him directly into the
Absolute Space Sea.
Austin, together with the chaotic sky-devouring beast, were led inside the teleportation array.
Then, the array was activated, and powerful teleportation energy enveloped them.
In the blink of an eye, they were teleported.
Austin blinked a couple of times and then took a look around. There, he found that they indeed made it
to the Absolute Space Sea.
The second they arrived, the chaotic sky-devouring beast became excited. The baby beast gratefully
took a deep breath and sucked the rich energy here, like a fish that had returned to the water.
A large amount of energy and laws gathered seemingly nonstop, which the chaotic sky-devouring
beast lapped up happily.
"The statue master was right," Austin said excitedly. "This place is perfect for the chaotic sky-devouring
beast!"
Austin was overjoyed to see the chaotic sky-devouring beast so happy.
"Young man, I must go back now,"
the beast said to Austin.
"When you want to return, you can use this jade slip to send me a message, and I will come back to
pick you up."
Then the beast turned around and walked back into the teleportation passage.
It was exactly through this teleportation passage that they had come to the Absolute Space Sea just
now.
"This is understood. Farewell."
Austin bade the beast goodbye with a nod.
