Chapter 265: Chapter 266: Giant Spirit True Body

In the Divine Court, the Chaos Dragon Tomb stood since time immemorial. The Tai Chi Pattern stood guard to one side, casting its Yin Yang Divine Light and stabilizing the Divine Court.

In another corner, a sphere of light bobbed up and down. Saber light flickered within, and endless Saber Intent emanated from it—this was the inheritance of the "World-Destroying Slash."

Above the Chaos Dragon Tomb, the word "Strength," wrapped in Ancestral Blood, floated in the air.

Now, an Emperor Dao Fruit had also barged in. It was as if some kind of balance had been broken, and the Divine Court was no longer peaceful.

Of all things, the one that changed the most was the word "Strength."

When the word "Emperor" appeared above the Chaos Dragon Tomb, "Strength" began to tremble. A supreme power swept through the Divine Court like an unstoppable storm.

The word "Emperor" was not to be outdone. A vast Emperor’s Qi surged forth, spreading out with an air of ruling over all under heaven.

The two forces contended with each other, then seemed to find a balance and quieted down, hovering above the Chaos Dragon Tomb.

Before Ye Wushuang could even sigh in relief, another change occurred.

Abruptly, the Ancestral Blood detached from the word "Strength." It split into countless rays of blood-red light that shot toward every part of Ye Wushuang’s body.

The speed was unimaginably fast. Before Ye Wushuang could even react, his entire body felt like it was on fire, boiling from within.

From the outside, one could see the blood-red light on Ye Wushuang’s body shooting out in all directions like sharp swords.

The Dragon Cat stood to one side, watching intently.

’This kid must have started the Refinement of the Ancestral Blood,’ the Dragon Cat muttered, feeling tormented inside as well.

’Pann proved his Dao through strength. The Ancestral Blood contains the mysteries of power. Once this kid refines it, his strength will definitely undergo a world-shaking transformation.’

’It’s enough to make Lord Cat die of envy.’

’That damn kid, not leaving any of the good stuff for Lord Cat. Just making me watch from the sidelines.’

The Dragon Cat started cursing under its breath.

However, it also began to stand guard, watching for any changes in the surroundings.

The man and the cat often tried to one-up each other, but without even realizing it, their bond seemed to be growing stronger.

The changes brought by the Ancestral Blood left Ye Wushuang with no time to pay attention to the outside world.

He split his Divine Sense, sending it to inspect every part of his body.

Myriad rays of blood-red light merged into his blood and bones. His blood, which already had a golden sheen, began to boil violently as if being roasted.

His Dragon Spirit Bloodline was tempered once again. The golden luster grew more distinct, turning his blood a solid gold color.

From now on, Ye Wushuang’s bloodline would likely have to be called Golden Dragon Blood!

Not only that, but rays of Ancestral Blood light were also driven into all the bones in his body.

The impurities were expelled. Countless old bone structures were transformed, becoming harder and thicker. Every single bone now seemed to hold limitless potential.

Watching all of this, Ye Wushuang was utterly shocked.

This was a metamorphosis, a complete and total transformation.

The transformation of his bloodline and his skeleton made his body even more powerful. Amidst this change, his Treasure Body was approaching the Great Success stage. It was simply incredible.

This was probably the greatest benefit he’d gained from the Earth Palace. Moreover, it was a benefit that would last a lifetime.

"Is this the benefit of the Ancestral Blood?"

"And there’s the Ancestral Blood Power, enough to raise my Cultivation by several levels!"

"Right, I can also practice the Giant Spirit Dao Skill now. I’ll master that first. It can serve as a life-saving measure."

"First, I’ll practice the Giant Spirit Dao Skill and form the Giant Spirit True Body. Then, I’ll use the Refinement of the Ancestral Blood Power to raise my Cultivation."

With a clear plan in mind, Ye Wushuang began to circulate the Giant Spirit Dao Skill.

This was a miraculous technique unique to the Priests of the Giant Spirit Clan, something that had captivated generations of them. He couldn’t wait to begin his Cultivation of it.

He had gained some insight into it before. Now, with the support of the Ancestral Blood, a profound aura gradually began to gather within his body.

Ye Wushuang didn’t notice that as he practiced the Giant Spirit Dao Skill, his bones were changing, shrinking and expanding like a contracting spring. It was incredible.

Outside in the Golden Palace, a phantom-like apparition of a giant appeared, sitting cross-legged in the center in the same posture as Ye Wushuang.

The Giant Spirit True Body!

’That size... it could almost rival Pann Wu’s,’ the Dragon Cat’s sly eyes widened at the sight.

...

「Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.」

The training in the Earth Palace was supposed to last two months, and now only one day remained. If he didn’t emerge from his seclusion, he would be trapped here, forced to wait three hundred years for it to open again.

From the various floors of the Divine Communication Tower, Disciples began to step out one after another.

They were all beaming with joy, thrilled and excited. It was clear they had gained a great deal.

Every floor of the Divine Communication Tower held treasures, and obtaining them could lead to significant improvements.

Many Disciples were at the True Essence Fifth and Sixth Layers when they entered. Now, upon exiting, they had already reached the True Essence Eighth and Ninth Layers.

BOOM!

BOOM!

From the fiftieth floor, several figures strode out.

Wudao, Yang Dingtian, Ao Wuchang, Mo Wentian, and others—all of them were the strongest Disciples. Their faces also showed varying degrees of delight.

It was apparent that they too had obtained some incredible opportunities.

Everyone gathered at the base of the Divine Communication Tower, but no one left immediately. Instead, they gazed up at the unreachable ninety-ninth floor.

It was not only the legendary position at the very top, but also the place with the greatest rewards.

Everyone was curious. What kind of world-shocking opportunities were hidden in that legendary spot?

After waiting for half a day, there was still no sign of him.

The Divine Communication Tower was completely silent, without the slightest movement.

"Why isn’t he out yet?"

"The Earth Palace training is about to end! If he doesn’t come out, he won’t be able to leave the Earth Palace at all."

"Yeah, did something happen to him?"

"This is a training reward. How could anything happen? Are you an idiot?"

"Maybe he got some amazing opportunity and is so immersed in his excitement that he lost track of time. Or maybe he died from excitement."

The crowd buzzed with discussion, and all sorts of strange ideas began to surface.

To one side, the Disciples of the major influences gathered together, vigilantly watching their surroundings. They were afraid that their rivals might launch a sudden attack to kill them and seize their treasures.

Before, they had chased Ye Wushuang to divide the benefits he possessed. They hadn’t come to blows with each other then, but that didn’t mean they weren’t considering it.

None of the major influences present were pushovers. If an opportunity arose, they would definitely make a move.

Yang Dingtian scanned his surroundings warily and asked, "Could he have left already?"

His question was one that many others present also wanted to ask.

However, the question was quickly answered. Someone replied, "No. A lot of us came out early and none of us saw him come down. He must still be on the ninety-ninth floor."

"Still on the ninety-ninth floor!"

This answer displeased the group of strongest Disciples.

They had all planned to kill Ye Wushuang in the Earth Palace and seize his opportunities. Now that they couldn’t even find him, how were they supposed to do that?

After waiting for another half an hour, there was still no movement.

"Let’s leave first," Yang Dingtian said to the Fiery Sun Sect Disciples beside him.

"Senior Brother, are we not going to wait for Ye Wushuang to come down?" Huo Zheng asked. Of course, he wasn’t worried about Ye Wushuang; he was just thinking about killing him when he finally appeared.

"There’s no more time. If we wait any longer, the Earth Palace Gate will close, and we won’t be able to get out. Moreover, the Fiery Sun Sect suffered the heaviest losses. Compared to the other major influences, our sect is at a disadvantage. If they decide to make a move, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Yang Dingtian analyzed the situation, then glanced back at the top of the Divine Communication Tower and sneered. "Besides, wouldn’t it be better to wait for him at the Earth Palace Gate and kill him the moment he appears?"
