Chapter 7 Physical Transformation
"Burn this skeleton," Yao Guang said calmly, pointing to the five-colored bones.
Although Hongfen didn't know why, she still followed her instructions and launched a fireball, burning the five-colored skeleton to ashes.
Yao Guang bent down and rummaged through the ashes, picking out eight small beads with iridescent patterns.
"Young Master, what are these?" Hongfen asked curiously, in her mind, the young master was omniscient.
"This is a Heaven-Mending Pill left behind by an ancient cultivator, but this person died before he could refine it. These eight small beads are formed from the residual medicinal power of that Heaven-Mending Pill in his body."
Yao Guang packed the beads away and continued, "The Heaven-Mending Pill can refine a cultivator's spiritual root and improve their absorption efficiency of spiritual energy. However, it is not easy to refine and requires a Core Formation cultivator to spend a hundred years to completely refine it."
Seeing the surprise on the rosy face, he sneered, "For us, the Heaven-Mending Pill is just a useless thing, because spiritual roots are rooted in the cultivator's body and are also part of their constitution."
He didn't continue, but Hongfen, being quick-witted, immediately grasped the key point.
"Yes, how could I be so foolish? I was holding a wood-chopping knife, yet I still thought I could chop wood with my hands!"
"We can use the Devouring Heaven Demon Art to absorb the spiritual roots of others! By devouring a cultivator with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, we ourselves will possess a Heavenly Spiritual Root body!"
The more Hongfen spoke, the brighter her eyes became. As a disciple of the demonic path, she was ruthless and had killed quite a few cultivators. At this moment, she was already thinking about the target she planned to devour.
Yao Guang smiled calmly, and a golden light flashed from his lower abdomen. He then directly stored the blue token, the "Great Teleportation Token" which was essential for riding the ancient teleportation array, into the Wheel Sea Secret Realm space within his body and sank into the chaotic sea of mist.
The girl in pink standing to the side gaped, her face filled with disbelief: "How is this possible..."
Keep it a secret for me.
"Yes, young master."
Next, Yao Guang had Hongfen meticulously imprint the entire ancient teleportation array's pattern and design onto a blank jade slip using her divine sense. Only after she finished did he leisurely turn around and look at the two demonic beasts fighting.
The outcome of this battle is basically already decided.
After activating its bloodline berserk mode, the Blood Jade Spider possessed an incredibly powerful physique. However, it was now at a disadvantage, with several charred cracks appearing on its otherwise sturdy spider body.
In contrast, the Burning Sun Eagle only lost some feathers and had no obvious injuries. The Blood Jade Spider's sharp feet and fangs could not penetrate the eagle's body covered with crimson fire feathers.
It's obvious that this Blood Jade Spider is much weaker than the Burning Sun Eagle in both physical strength and magic, and its bloodline berserk mode has a time limit; the moment it disappears will be its death.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, the blood color around the Blood Jade Spider gradually faded, and its true essence was exhausted. After reverting to the White Jade Spider state, its fighting spirit waned, and it tried to escape. However, it was caught up by the Burning Sun Eagle, which was in the heat of battle, and its head was crushed by the giant claws of flames after only a few moves.
The Burning Sun Eagle raised its head and howled strangely, its giant claws stepping on the head of the Blood Jade Spider. Its fierce eyes shone brightly with green light, extremely happy. Just as it was about to devour this great enemy, it roared unwillingly and transformed into a crimson rainbow. It was forcibly taken into the spirit beast pouch by the red powder beside it.
"Your Burning Sun Eagle is far stronger than other level four demonic beasts. You've probably already reached the threshold of level five, right?" Yao Guang asked with a smile, his eyes showing admiration.
Seeing Yao Guang's satisfied smile, Hongfen said with some pride, "As expected, it couldn't hide anything from Young Master's discerning eyes. It has already reached the peak of Level 4, and is only a small step away from advancing to Level 5. When that Nascent Soul ancestor from Tianqin Mountain gave it to me, he still looked a little pained and reluctant!"
"Is there any way to quickly advance it to level five?"
"I learned from the ancient texts of Tianqin Mountain that advancing to the next level requires consuming a large amount of the essence blood of demonic beasts that also belong to the fire attribute, as well as taking several kinds of spiritual herbs with fire properties, such as the Blazing Sun Flower, Blood Orchid, and Crimson Heart Fruit..."
Hongfen listed several miraculous medicines recorded in ancient books.
Yao Guang's heart skipped a beat. He remembered that the Crimson Forbidden Land produced Blazing Sun Flowers and Blood Orchids, and that various kinds of demonic beasts lived there, including quite a few fire-attribute ones...
After witnessing the battle, he decided to wait until the Burning Sun Eagle advanced to the fifth-level demon beast before devouring it. At only the fourth level, its physique was already stronger than the Blood Jade Spider. If it reached the fifth level, it would be very likely to be able to withstand a magic weapon attack from an ordinary Core Formation cultivator with its bare body.
"Go and search the surrounding area carefully to see if there's anything you've missed," Yao Guang instructed Hong Fen as he walked up to the corpse of the Blood Jade Spider.
He sat cross-legged in front of the demon corpse, his eyes calm and unwavering, his aura instantly becoming deep and unfathomable.
A black, illusory image of a Great Dao treasure bottle slowly appeared above Yao Guang's head. The bottle's design was simple, yet it seemed to be a vessel for the Great Dao, as if suppressing all the heavens and myriad worlds, mysterious and unfathomable.
At the same time, countless mysterious and eerie black divine patterns flowed and spread across his jade-like smooth skin, eventually converging into two black vortexes in the palms of his hands. The vortexes slowly rotated, emitting an aura that could devour heaven and earth, like two black holes.
Yao Guang raised his hands, and a vortex of dark light burst forth from his palms. He then pressed them down hard on the still-warm body of the Blood Jade Spider.
Countless black divine runes immediately burrowed into the corpse. Just a few breaths later, the Blood Jade Spider's enormous body was as if it had been boiled, its flesh and bones violently heaving, rolling, twisting, and caved in.
The life essence, primordial magic power, and the physical essence contained in the carapace, sharp feet, and fangs within the corpse's body, which had not yet dissipated, began to gush out in wisps, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, surging into Yao Guang's palm and being swallowed by the black vortex.
At this moment, Yao Guang frowned slightly, his physical body undergoing a transformation.
Black divine runes flowed all over his body. The essence of the Blood Jade Spider's physique was refined into his body, cleansing his flesh and making it as strong and powerful as the Blood Jade Spider.
Inside his lower abdomen, the chaotic mist sea in the Wheel Sea Secret Realm, along with the entire secret realm space, was constantly expanding as the process of devouring continued. The original essence that originally belonged to the Blood Jade Spider was mostly refined into a wisp of yellow earth essence energy, which, like that wisp of bright red causal essence energy, sank into the mist sea.
In contrast, the Blood Jade Spider's corpse was withered and dull, a result of its physique and essence being forcibly extracted.
Hongfen quickly finished her search and returned with two fist-sized, white, round eggs in her hands. Without a doubt, these were the eggs of the Blood Jade Spider.
She stood quietly to the side, her eyes like water, watching Yao Guang as he was being devoured and transformed. Scenes of their past affection flashed through her mind. Suddenly, she thought of how wonderful it would be to accompany him to conquer the world after she had mastered the "Devouring Heaven Demon Art" and roam the south together.
As she pondered, the woman became infatuated and lost in thought.
