In the room.

The Blood-colored Scroll rested quietly in Flowing Cloud's palm, strands of blood-red light radiating from it.

Flowing Cloud's consciousness grew somewhat hazy as piercing roars echoed in his mind, like the cries of ten thousand beasts.

His body trembled from time to time, as though he had been stimulated.

The next moment, an endless torrent of information sliced into Flowing Cloud's skull like countless razor-sharp, bloodstained blades and flooded deep into his mind.

As all the Dou Qi within his body was drawn into the Blood-colored Scroll, an intense dizziness clouded Flowing Cloud's mind.

After an unknown amount of time, Flowing Cloud finally regained consciousness.

At that moment, he was nearly drained of all strength. His legs trembled, and he could not muster even the slightest bit of energy.

Huff!

After taking a deep breath, Flowing Cloud barely managed to sit down in a nearby chair.

After resting for a moment, strength finally returned to his body, and the dizziness in his mind gradually faded.

Thinking back on what he had just experienced, Flowing Cloud could not help feeling lingering fear.

At that moment, it had seemed as though he stood amid an army of ten thousand beasts, allowing them to trample him, devour his body, and crush him into pulp.

Fortunately, it had all been an illusion.

Exhaling a breath of stale air, Flowing Cloud closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and immersed himself in the endless torrent of information within his head.

A moment later, Flowing Cloud suddenly opened his eyes, a trace of delight appearing on his face.

He had now completely absorbed the contents of the Blood-colored Scroll.

He also understood what kind of cultivation technique the Myriad Beasts Art was.

The Myriad Beasts Art was a cultivation technique that refined Magical Beast Essence Blood, strengthened the physical body, and seized the abilities of Magical Beasts.

As long as Flowing Cloud refined the essence blood of a Magical Beast, he could not only temper his body but also obtain that Magical Beast's power.

The Myriad Beasts True Scripture was divided into four levels.

By refining the essence blood of ten Magical Beasts, one could transform into a Magical Beast Body.

By refining the essence blood of a hundred Magical Beasts, one could transform into a Hundred Beasts Body.

By refining the essence blood of a thousand Magical Beasts, one could transform into a Thousand Beasts Body.

By refining the essence blood of ten thousand Magical Beasts, one could transform into a Myriad Beasts Body.

According to the information recorded in the scroll, the expert who had created this Myriad Beasts True Scripture had possessed the strength of a Peak Nine-star Dou Sheng.

Even he had failed to cultivate the fourth level of the Myriad Beasts True Scripture, the Myriad Beasts Body.

If he had succeeded, he would certainly have broken through to the Dou Di Realm.

Having completely absorbed the information within the scroll, Flowing Cloud naturally understood why that expert had been unable to break through to the level of the Myriad Beasts Body.

It was because he lacked sufficiently powerful Magical Beast Essence Blood!

According to that expert's records, he had refined nearly all the essence blood of high-level Magical Beasts across the entire Dou Qi Continent.

This even included the essence blood of top-tier Magical Beasts such as the Primordial Void Dragon, Heavenly Demon Phoenix, and Nine Nether Underworld Python.

Yet even after refining the essence blood of those powerful top-tier Magical Beasts, he had still been unable to reach the realm of the fourth-level Myriad Beasts Body.

That was also why such a formidable Myriad Beasts True Scripture was only a Heavenly Tier Primary cultivation technique.

Because on the Dou Qi Continent, the quality of Magical Beast Essence Blood in this world was simply insufficient to cultivate the Myriad Beasts Body.

If Flowing Cloud could cultivate it to the fourth level, this cultivation technique would be enough to rival a Heaven Tier High-grade cultivation technique.

Thinking of this, Flowing Cloud felt extremely excited!

He possessed the Auction Ten Thousand Times Return System, which could grant returns for any item he auctioned.

If he auctioned the essence blood of top-tier Magical Beasts such as Ancient Void Dragons in the future and triggered the system's return mechanism, would he not obtain even more powerful Magical Beast Essence Blood?

Would that not allow him to cultivate the Myriad Beasts True Scripture to the fourth level?

As soon as that thought arose, Flowing Cloud became immensely excited.

For someone like him, who possessed the system, the Myriad Beasts True Scripture was simply like adding wings to a tiger.

However, with Flowing Cloud's current strength, it was still far too early to think about such things.

Not to mention the essence blood of top-tier Magical Beasts like Ancient Void Dragons and Heavenly Demon Phoenixes.

Even the essence blood of a Third-tier Magical Beast was beyond his ability to obtain.

His most urgent task was naturally to increase his strength.

Thinking this, Flowing Cloud directly put away the Blood-colored Scroll in his hand, then took the Profound Origin Pill from the System Space.

At present, only this Profound Origin Pill could help him rapidly increase his strength.

With a thought, Flowing Cloud activated the Devouring Divine Ability, and an inexplicable devouring force slowly enveloped the Profound Origin Pill.

Then Flowing Cloud focused and closed his eyes, greedily absorbing the energy within the Profound Origin Pill.

That energy traveled through Flowing Cloud's limbs and bones before gradually merging into his dantian.

The energy devoured through the Devouring Divine Ability was far purer than ordinary energy.

Flowing Cloud absorbed it extremely quickly, so the speed at which his cultivation increased was naturally also astonishing.

Focused on absorbing the energy within his body, Flowing Cloud had completely forgotten the existence of the outside world.

That was simply his personality.

Whenever he focused on one thing, he could devote himself to it wholeheartedly without the slightest distraction.

In his previous life, Flowing Cloud had died suddenly and transmigrated here because he had played games at an internet café for three days and nights without getting even a moment of rest.

As Flowing Cloud continuously devoured the Profound Origin Pill's energy, night arrived in the blink of an eye.

At that moment, a muffled sound came from within Flowing Cloud's body.

Six-star Dou Zhe!

After a day of cultivation, Flowing Cloud had broken through once again, reaching the strength of a Six-star Dou Zhe.

After breaking through, Flowing Cloud did not stop and instead continued devouring the Profound Origin Pill's energy.

Feeling the power within him grow stronger and stronger, Flowing Cloud was like his former self playing games at an internet café, deeply immersed in the rhythm of steadily defeating monsters and leveling up, unable to pull himself free.

As the stars shifted and time passed, another three days went by in the blink of an eye.

In the room, Flowing Cloud sat cross-legged on a soft couch, tightly gripping the Profound Origin Pill as strands of energy were continuously drawn into his body.

Compared with three days ago, the Profound Origin Pill was now nearly exhausted, only one-tenth of its original size remaining.

Clearly, Flowing Cloud had gained tremendously over these three days.

A bewitching silver moon hung upside down amid the sea of clouds, its moonlight pouring down like the Milky Way falling from the ninth heaven.

Beneath the moonlight, all of Wutan City appeared indistinctly, outlined in a hazy veil.

The rear courtyard of the Mittel Auction House.

Inside the room, Flowing Cloud's eyes were lightly closed, and the aura around him was somewhat violent.

Wave after wave of incomparably dense power surged from within his body, first like a trickling stream, then like a vast ocean.

The aura emanating from Flowing Cloud had astonishingly reached the strength of a Nine-star Dou Zhe.

Sensing the energy within his body, Flowing Cloud concentrated fully as he charged toward the Dou Shi Realm.

However, no matter how he tried to break through, he always felt that he lacked the final push and could not completely shatter that bottleneck.

"Damn it, I'll go all in!"

Gritting his teeth, Flowing Cloud grabbed the remaining tenth of the Profound Origin Pill and swallowed it in a single gulp.

The next moment, a surging wave of energy erupted from within Flowing Cloud's body.

The Profound Origin Pill was a Fifth-grade Pill. Although only one-tenth of its medicinal power remained, that energy was still terrifying for Flowing Cloud, who was only in the Dou Zhe Realm.

At that moment, the vast energy within Flowing Cloud's body ran rampant in every direction, like a pot of boiling oil.
