In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian, who had transformed into a Golden Man, returned to normal. The Gold Element Particles vanished from his body, leaving the Snake King utterly dumbfounded.
"Young Master, you've actually fully comprehended Gold Element Particles? This is truly magical and unbelievable," the Snake King said, looking at Ye Tian in astonishment.
Ye Tian smiled faintly and said, "That's right. I can now resonate with the Gold Element. As long as I will it, Gold Element Particles will appear. Breaking this Barrier shouldn't be very difficult now."
"That's wonderful! Young Master, you're truly incredible! You haven't eaten for about ten days. Should I go get you some food? Once you've eaten your fill, you'll have the strength to break this Gold Element Barrier," the Snake King said.
Only after the Snake King mentioned it did Ye Tian realize he was indeed hungry. "Then I'll have to trouble you, Snake King. I'm actually a little hungry right now! Please go get something."
The Snake King immediately turned and left the cave. Ye Tian, however, looked at the Barrier before him. Although he couldn't truly see it, he could clearly feel the Gold Element on its surface constantly fluctuating.
"Very good. You're a day ahead of my expectations, which proves you're quite talented. Once you've comprehended one Element, grasping another becomes much easier.
Absorbing the Gold Element Particles from this Gold Element Barrier will be a great help to you, far better than absorbing Gold Element Ore Crystals. Keep it up, Ye Tian. Don't forget the mission on your shoulders," the War Dragon Remnant Soul said then.
"Rest assured, Senior, I won't let you down. I'll try to absorb these Gold Element Particles now," Ye Tian said. He was very happy and proud to receive the War Dragon Remnant Soul's affirmation.
With a slight shift of his will, Ye Tian released his Divine Sense. The Gold Element on the Gold Element Barrier actually began to slowly move aside, and Ye Tian gradually gathered it around his body.
Then, he began to absorb it bit by bit. This was his first time absorbing external Gold Elemental Energy, so he was especially cautious. It was different from the Energy inside a Magic Crystal; this was much more violent.
After the Gold Element entered his body, it went straight to the location of the Gold Elemental Pearl in his Dantian. It entered without the slightest pause, which seemed incredibly magical.
Ye Tian knew that he could easily fill the pearl this way, and even make it grow larger and become a true Elemental Pearl. However, when he had absorbed a certain amount, the Gold Element suddenly stopped entering the pearl.
Instead, it began to course through his limbs and meridians. Gradually, a painful sensation appeared, making Ye Tian tense up instantly.
The Gold Element itself has an indestructible nature. Although he had reached a resonance with the Gold Element, his body was not made of Gold Element Particles, so there were still times when it was beyond his control.
Ye Tian slowly stopped absorbing. He was a bit puzzled by this phenomenon, so he asked the War Dragon Remnant Soul, "Senior, is there a problem with how I'm absorbing this? If I continue, I'm afraid there's a risk my body will explode."
"You're not so stupid, kid. To fully grow the Gold Elemental Pearl, you must achieve three things. First, you must be able to communicate with the Gold Element. Second, you must be able to resonate with the Gold Element. And third, you must cultivate the Golden Spirit Body.
You've already met the first and second conditions, so you only need the third. Once you satisfy all three conditions, you'll be able to form the Gold Elemental Pearl in your body, and you will also succeed in the Cultivation of your First Form, Gold Slash," the War Dragon Remnant Soul explained.
Hearing this, Ye Tian felt his head spin. The Chaos Thunder Strike had nine slashes in total, and each slash represented a different Elemental Attribute. That meant he had to form nine different Elemental Pearls in his body.
In other words, he needed to cultivate nine types of Elemental Bodies. This was simply a pipe dream, something completely impossible.
Obtaining the Gold Elemental Pearl was already a stroke of immense luck. He felt he had no chance with the other Elements and didn't even dare to hope for it.
"I know exactly what you're thinking. Nothing ever goes smoothly. Only by constantly tempering yourself in adversity can you achieve final success. I myself achieved all nine Elemental Bodies back in the day.
It was only for a certain reason that I failed to cultivate the Chaos Thunder Strike to the Perfect Realm. Otherwise, I wouldn't have fallen back then because of her.
Although you are human, you possess the bloodline of my War Dragon Race. Moreover, your talent is in no way inferior to mine back then, so I believe you can definitely do it one day.
Only by having confidence in yourself can you face all difficulties. The help others can give you is limited; in the end, you must rely on yourself.
If you want to cultivate the Golden Spirit Body, you will surely suffer the torment of the Gold Element Attribute. However, when you succeed in cultivating the Golden Spirit Body, your Divine Dragon Stance will also be enhanced. This is a tremendous blessing," the War Dragon Remnant Soul said.
The War Dragon Remnant Soul's long speech deeply moved Ye Tian. His confidence and fighting spirit ignited in that moment. It was better to rely on himself than on others. He believed he could do it.
"Thank you for your teachings, Senior. I will work hard to fulfill your wish. I will become a true expert," Ye Tian said with great solemnity.
In that instant, a King's Aura surged from his body, giving the nearby Snake King the urge to kneel and worship him.
This aura was even more powerful than that of the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python. This was a true King's Aura—a powerful presence that looked down on the entire world.
The Snake King became even more certain that Ye Tian was one of those people destined to become an expert. Following him was the wisest choice.
"For now, just focus on breaking this Gold Attribute Barrier. To use the Black Glaze Sword's Energy, you can only use your own blood as a catalyst. You might be able to unleash a third of its power.
Don't bother me unless it's important. I want to get some sleep. I'm tired after talking so much," the War Dragon Remnant Soul said.
Without any hesitation, Ye Tian decisively slashed his wrist with the Black Glaze Sword. Bright red blood immediately gushed out, and Ye Tian let it drip onto the blade of the Black Glaze Sword.
As the blood dripped onto it, the Black Glaze Sword slowly absorbed it. Only after he had let blood onto the blade three times did the Black Glaze Sword finally change. A dazzling light erupted from the blade.
Seeing this light, Ye Tian was overjoyed. If he had to drip any more blood, he might have actually bled to death, which would have been a terrible loss.
At this moment, the Black Glaze Sword began to tremble slightly. A tyrannical aura emerged from it. This was the true characteristic of a Divine Weapon, capable of inspiring fear from a great distance.
This was because the Snake King's body was now trembling uncontrollably, and cold sweat dripped rapidly from his forehead onto the ground.
Ye Tian knew that this was the perfect moment to break the Gold Attribute Barrier. With a thought, he swiftly swung his sword. Instantly, a three-meter-long Sword Aura shot toward the space in front of him…
