Awakening! Sky Swallowing Howl!

Ding!

After fetching a stone bowl, Taishu Yun made the final cut, and that mass of Precious Blood flowed out into the bowl.

A fragrant scent wafted out, stirring the blood of both Taishu Yun and Taishu Jing.

The thick Precious Blood bloomed with dazzling crimson radiance. Specks of crystalline fluorescence flickered like stars in the night, divine light flowing within it, beautiful as a work of art.

A faint beast's roar seemed to come from within the Precious Blood. Yet when one listened closely, there was nothing at all.

There was a full bowl's worth of Precious Blood—more than enough.

Fetching another stone bowl, Taishu Yun divided it in half and handed one portion to Taishu Jing. "Jing, half each."

"Hehe, then I won't stand on ceremony, big brother." Taishu Jing accepted it with a grin.

Holding that half-bowl of Precious Blood, Taishu Jing downed it in one gulp—bold and hearty, a true man!

Seeing Taishu Jing drain it in one go, Taishu Yun looked at him anxiously. "Jing, the Beast King's Precious Blood contains far too much energy. How could you drink it all at once?!"

Burp!

Taishu Jing burped, waved his hand, and smiled at Taishu Yun. "It's fine. Watch me refine it right away."

Massive energy erupted from within Taishu Jing, sweeping through his entire body. He instantly turned as red as a shrimp, steam rising from the top of his head.

This is bad!

He had forgotten about that. The energy contained in the Precious Blood was far too immense, especially since it was the blood of an Ancient Beast King. Passive absorption would not work; he could only take the initiative and speed up the refinement.

Taishu Jing's heart was still as water as he began practicing the Reverse Dragon Palm in the courtyard. Palm after palm followed, layers upon layers of palm shadows overlapping. Heaven and Earth Essence was drawn in and seeped into his body, bringing him a trace of coolness.

There's hope!

Again and again, Taishu Jing practiced the Reverse Dragon Palm. White mist rose from his entire body—the impurities flushed out by the rushing energy.

Immersed in the palm technique, Taishu Jing absorbed Heaven and Earth Essence. Combined with the energy of the Precious Blood, it continuously scoured the bones and blood in his body, cleansing and tempering them again and again.

Gradually, Taishu Jing felt his bones begin to itch. His skeleton was transforming: old bones were being replaced by new ones, the new bones taking on a platinum-white hue with a metallic luster.

Worthless bones were ground to pieces, piercing through flesh and blood as they were expelled bit by bit.

From Taishu Yun's perspective, blood suddenly burst from Taishu Jing's body, red and gray mingled together, along with dull fragments of bone.

The sight was truly frightening. If Taishu Jing had not still been calmly practicing the Reverse Dragon Palm, Taishu Yun would have been terrified enough to go find Taishu Feng.

Squatting down and picking up a bone fragment, Taishu Yun examined it closely. The pieces were all dim and lusterless, dark gray in color and carrying a decayed aura. They should have been worthless bones.

As for the red-and-gray mixed blood, he could not sense any vitality within it. It should have been dead blood.

It seemed Taishu Jing was undergoing a process of replacing his bones and blood. This was a rare opportunity, one that would forge an even stronger physique.

Just as he was about to be happy for his little brother, Taishu Yun looked up and saw more dead blood and bone fragments spraying from Taishu Jing's body. The brutal sight sent a chill down his spine. Didn't that hurt?

But seeing Taishu Jing's calm expression, Taishu Yun felt that it probably did not hurt. Otherwise, how could he be so composed?

If he knew what Taishu Yun was thinking, Taishu Jing would definitely have said, It hurts like hell!

But the transformation of his body was not yet complete, and he could not withdraw from it. Taishu Jing could only grit his teeth and endure.

As he practiced the Reverse Dragon Palm with complete self-forgetfulness, Taishu Jing could forget the pain in his body. Dragon roars began to ring out from his Reverse Dragon Palm, each louder than the last, growing increasingly resounding. Vaguely, a dragon's shadow emerged.

"As expected of Jing. He's incredible."

Seeing that Taishu Jing's Reverse Dragon Palm had already produced dragon roars and a dragon shadow, Taishu Yun could not help but be astonished. His Ascending Dragon Fist had yet to produce either dragon roars or a dragon shadow. It seemed he still needed to work harder.

Worried that something might happen to Taishu Jing, Taishu Yun did not drink the Precious Blood and begin cultivating. Instead, he watched Taishu Jing closely. If anything went wrong, he would immediately go find their father and mother.

Within Taishu Jing's body, both blood and bones had been completely renewed. His blood was like crimson clouds, while his bones shone with a noble platinum-white. At last, the replacement of blood and bones came to an end.

It was not over yet!

After replacing his bones and blood, less than half of the Precious Blood had been consumed. The remaining Precious Blood continued to scour his flesh, its immense energy gathering toward his Dantian.

Thump!

Thump!

His heart beat like a heavenly drum being struck. Taishu Jing's heartbeat was so loud it was frightening—even Taishu Yun could hear it.

"What is going on? Is that even a heartbeat?"

Within Taishu Jing's mind, it was as though he heard the chanting of scriptures. The profound sound reached straight into his mind, giving him a feeling as though heaven and earth had become clear and bright.

Whoosh!

The blood throughout his body began to flow rapidly, and his bone marrow's blood-producing ability became extraordinarily powerful. Platinum-white blood appeared, shimmering with fluorescence as divine light gleamed within it.

He had thought the blood replacement was already over, but it was still continuing.

More and more platinum-white new blood appeared, slowly assimilating all the blood in his body. Before long, every drop of blood within Taishu Jing had become platinum-white, exuding nobility.

At Taishu Jing's Dantian, the remaining Precious Blood exploded out of thin air. Its massive energy gathered into a vortex and was swallowed clean by the Dantian in the blink of an eye.

From the depths of his Dantian, a mysterious source slowly emerged. Like his blood, it was platinum-white, gradually replacing the entire Dantian. Profound Dao Sound came from within it, and scriptures rose and fell inside.

Without question, these mysterious scriptures were the inheritance carried by the Divine Body.

Roar!

Within the Divine Body Origin, a beastly shadow let out a roar like a dragon's cry.

This beastly shadow should have been the Ancient Beast King, the Sky Swallowing Howl. It resembled a rabbit, with two long, pointed ears. Its body was not particularly large, yet the aura it emanated could awe heaven and earth.

The Precious Blood had also contained a trace of the Sky Swallowing Howl's divine form. This should have been a trace of the Sky Swallowing Howl's will, carrying part of its inheritance as well.

The Sky Swallowing Howl's Precious Blood had been fully refined and absorbed. Taishu Jing successfully awakened the Divine Body, underwent a complete transformation of flesh and bone, and even captured the Sky Swallowing Howl's divine form. His gains were immense!

Only, Taishu Jing's current appearance was not very pleasant.

His body was dyed crimson with dead blood, and bone fragments covered him from head to toe. He did not even look human.

If he were not still moving, Taishu Yun would have suspected that he had stopped breathing.

Looking at Taishu Jing's miserable state, Taishu Yun glanced at the Precious Blood in the bowl and told himself that he absolutely could not imitate his little brother and chug the Precious Blood in one gulp.

Huff!

The transformation was complete.

Taishu Jing stopped moving. He felt light all over, as if he possessed inexhaustible strength, and had an urge to hit someone.

"Awesome!"

Unable to restrain himself, Taishu Jing shouted. He felt refreshed and invigorated. He had gained so many benefits: the Divine Body was his, and the Sky Swallowing Howl's divine form was waiting for him to claim it. Before long, he would be able to punch Beast Kings and kick mighty experts, embarking upon the path to invincibility.

Thinking of it that way, even heaven and earth seemed a little more beautiful.

He looked toward his elder brother, Taishu Yun. "Big brother, I'm done. Now it's your turn."

"Uh, Jing, you should wash up first. I can't even tell you're a person anymore," Taishu Yun reminded him.

"No rush."

Taishu Jing could roughly guess what Taishu Yun meant and waved his hand indifferently.

"Big brother, hurry up and drink the Precious Blood in one go. I'll stand guard for you."

Taishu Yun shook his head like a rattle drum. After seeing Taishu Jing's condition, he did not dare do that again. What if he was not as lucky and his body exploded from the energy?

"Hey, big brother, trust me. Nothing will happen. Didn't you see it yourself?"

With ill intent, Taishu Jing picked up that half-bowl of Precious Blood, pinned Taishu Yun down with one hand, and poured it into his mouth.

"Mmph! Mmph!"

He could not break free!

Taishu Yun discovered that he could not move at all. Taishu Jing seemed not to be using any strength as he held him down, but to Taishu Yun, it felt as though the Ten-Thousand-Zhang Divine Mountain were pressing down upon him.

What incredible strength!

He understood at once. After consuming the Precious Blood, Taishu Jing must have undergone an astonishing transformation. His raw strength alone might have reached a terrifying level.

While he was thinking, the half-bowl of Precious Blood slowly entered Taishu Yun's stomach.

"Darlings, what are you doing?"

A puzzled voice sounded behind them. At that moment, Jingyun and Taishu Feng arrived.

Half an hour earlier, word of what had happened on the street reached them. Worried that their sons might have suffered a loss, Jingyun and Taishu Feng had come to check on them.

Unexpectedly, the moment they entered, they saw their younger son pinning down their elder son and pouring something into his mouth.

And their younger son was covered in blood, so drenched that he no longer looked human!
