The robust Class IV Spirit Chicken now remains but a much-diminished pile of withered bones.
Its feathers had completely disintegrated into dust, scattering in the slightest breeze.
Only a layer of chicken skin, grown with bumps, clung to the protruding skeletal frame.
Through this layer of skin, one could faintly glimpse a clump of dark purple light quivering softly.
Feeling the increasingly vibrant life force within, Wang Ba pondered for a moment, then lifted a finger and shot a beam, tearing open that almost transparent layer of chicken skin.
Immediately, it revealed inside the chicken skeleton a human-head-sized dark purple embryo pulsating slightly, resembling an eggshell.
Dark purple flames swirled around the embryo.
As if it detected the movement outside, several soft bulges suddenly appeared on the surface of the dark purple eggshell, and whatever was inside seemed to be trying to break out.
Wang Ba did not intervene again, merely watching in silence.
