Executing the sixth variation of the Dragon Form Hundred Transformations' First Form consumed a great deal of Dragon Spiritual Power. Ye Tian took out a few Spirit Stones, preparing to absorb them.
Just then, the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python spoke up. "Boss, I need a few too. Now that I've grown Two Wings, my craving for Energy is much greater than before. To grow the Third Wing, I'll need to absorb a lot of Energy."
"That's simple. If there's one thing I have plenty of, it's Spirit Stones. But they're all Lower and Middle Grade. As for Top-Grade and Top Grade Spirit Stones, I can't take those out," Ye Tian said.
The number of Top-Grade and Top Grade Spirit Stones inside his Storage Ring was actually quite large, but his limited Power Realm prevented him from taking them out, which frustrated Ye Tian. If he could give the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python High Grade Spirit Stones to absorb, he was sure it would break through much faster.
With a thought, he produced dozens of Spirit Stones and placed them on the ground. "Absorb them slowly. If it's not enough, just tell me!"
After speaking, Ye Tian paid no more attention to the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python and began to absorb the Energy from the Spirit Stones himself. He was all too familiar with this process. In the past, due to the War Dragon Heavenly Arm, his body had never truly managed to absorb the Energy within Spirit Stones, but things were different now.
As the Dragon Spiritual Power in his body began to circulate, it quickly resonated with the Energy inside the Spirit Stones and began to absorb it. The Energy from the Spirit Stones flowed continuously into his body.
Ye Tian could clearly feel the Energy from the Spirit Stones slowly merging with his Dragon Spiritual Power, and his depleted Dragon Spiritual Power was rapidly recovering.
After absorbing ten Spirit Stones, Ye Tian stopped. His Dantian and all the meridians in his body were saturated. If he absorbed any more, he would experience an unbearable, bloating pain.
When Ye Tian looked over at the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python, he found that the dozens of Spirit Stones on the ground had vanished, leaving only Spirit Stone Fragments. In other words, the creature had already absorbed them all.
'That speed is truly terrifying. I don't know how he did it.' "Ye Lin, was that enough? If not, I've got more!"
"I don't need any more for now. The Energy in the Spirit Stones is good, but it's much weaker compared to a Demon Beast Core. This Energy needs to be converted, while the Energy from a Demon Beast Core can be directly turned into my own," the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python said.
Hearing this, Ye Tian remembered that he had a few Demon Beast Cores left over from killing the Gale Wolf and Flame Tiger. He took them out. "I know you still need to absorb more, so take these and absorb them too!"
The Eight-winged Golden Scale Python glanced at the Demon Beast Cores in Ye Tian's hand and said, "Boss, these Demon Beast Cores are too low-grade. They won't be much use to me. I'll go hunt for my own some other day."
Ye Tian wasn't angry. Given the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python's current power, it truly didn't need to absorb such low-level Demon Beast Cores. It was even better that it could go find its own.
"Ye Lin, there's still some time before the full moon. I'm going to work on my Martial Skills a bit more. Just call me when it's time," Ye Tian said.
Continuously practicing the sixth variation of Dragon Form Hundred Transformations had revealed some flaws to Ye Tian. It would still take some time to master this variation completely, so he prepared to train a while longer.
The Eight-winged Golden Scale Python said nothing, merely nodding before leaving the cave. It looked like it was going to hunt Demon Beasts. Ye Tian, meanwhile, once again began to practice the techniques in his mind.
Time flew by, and a day quickly passed. The Eight-winged Golden Scale Python returned to the cave to find Ye Tian still immersed in his Cultivation. With the moon now high in the sky, it woke him.
"Boss, it's about to appear. You need to be mentally prepared. This might be helpful to you," the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python said.
Ye Tian smiled. "I know. I'm curious to see if it's really as miraculous as you say."
So the two of them waited quietly in the cave. After an unknown amount of time, a faint fluctuation of Energy appeared from where the Three-leaf Golden Ganoderma was. Both of them sensed it.
"Boss, it's here! This strange phenomenon won't last long, maybe half an incense stick's worth of time at most. Take it all in!" said the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python.
At this moment, Ye Tian was completely focused on the location of the Three-leaf Golden Ganoderma. A moment later, a golden light appeared, and then some blurry, indistinct images materialized on the stone wall of the cave.
The appearance of such images was certainly surprising. Ye Tian said nothing and continued to watch. Gradually, the images grew clearer, and at the same time, a bloody, murderous aura instantly filled the cave.
It sent a chill down the spine, and this murderous aura could make one feel a bone-deep terror. This was the killing intent emanated by a true, supreme expert.
Ye Tian felt a terrible pressure in his chest, but he persisted. Large beads of sweat formed on his forehead, yet his eyes remained fixed on the scene on the stone wall.
It depicted a vast desert where dozens of people were fighting. Every clash was powerful enough to make the earth tremble and the mountains shake. The ground cracked open as magma erupted, and powerful gales swept through the air, stirring up clouds of dust that blotted out the sky as if it were the apocalypse.
As Ye Tian watched, his head grew heavy and he felt an overwhelming urge to sleep. Despite his strong willpower, he fought to stay conscious but fainted after only a short moment.
The Eight-winged Golden Scale Python paid no mind to Ye Tian fainting. The same thing had happened to it. 'Faced with such a terrifying murderous aura and bizarre imagery, it would be a miracle *not* to faint if your Power Level was too low.'
Although Ye Tian had fainted, he felt as though his soul had entered the scene itself. He was now like a silent observer, watching everything unfold before him.
He saw six people in the air—two women and four men. Strangely, five of them were attacking a single woman, and the battle appeared to be a stalemate.
Each of their attacks was devastating. If such an attack were to strike Lisha City, a single blow could likely wipe the entire city from existence.
Perhaps because the five attackers' combined Attack Power was too formidable, the woman was injured. She let out a tremendous Dragon's Roar, and a black dragon several thousand meters long appeared in the sky.
The black dragon had nine claws. Several of its Dragon Scales were missing, and black blood streamed from the wounds. "Today, I will send every last one of you to your graves!"
As the woman transformed into the black dragon, four of the other five combatants also changed. One, a woman, became a colossal Phoenix wreathed in flames, her body also hundreds of meters long. Her cry echoed across the heavens and earth.
Another transformed into a gigantic White Tiger, the size of a small mountain. Its roar caused the very space around them to tremble violently.
Yet another became a giant tortoise, even larger than the White Tiger. Its shell was covered in spikes that were dozens of meters long!
The last one to transform became a Qilin engulfed in fire. Massive bolts of lightning arced continuously from its two horns, a truly terrifying sight.
Ye Tian was so stunned by this scene that he was at a loss for words. 'Just who are these people?' He didn't dare to dwell on the thought...
