The divine liquid flowed out, glowing in a beautiful light.
A sort-of herbal scent drifted into the nostrils, then down the throat. It felt incredibly relaxing and pleasing and even expelled the disgusting odor in the surroundings.
Little Tian kept cawing, almost putting its head inside the egg as it frantically licked the liquid that left an aromatic aftertaste in its mouth. It was utterly immersed in enjoyment.
Its body glowed even more brilliantly, like a glittering, beautiful diamond, giving out a hazy luster. Its wound healed rapidly, and scabs formed and fell off. Its skin was as soft as the baby's bottom.
There was an added divinity to it. Its two dark eyes looked like a pair of black holes that could pull people's minds into them. The yucky scum had evaporated, dissipating into the air. And there was an added mithril-like color on its dark skin.
Even its steel teeth were undergoing changes. The silverish color became more apparent. They even possessed a moonlight-kind of glow, sharpness in beauty, as if they could bite through the toughest dark steel.
"Little bastard, don't you eat it all," shouted Han Tian.
He jumped onto it, grabbed Little Tian by its leg and stomach with one hand and frantically pulled it back, and scooped up a handful of brilliant divine liquid and delivered it down its neck. He was instantly awestruck. This was too good.
Han Tian was frenzied. Ignoring Little Tian, he raised his fist and punched a hole the size of his face in the egg. The shell broke off, exposing the translucent divine liquid inside.
Not to be outdone, he plunged his head inside and sucked like a whale, almost biting his own tongue.
The divine liquid had fantastic efficacy. Han Tian's body started to glow in brilliant colors, his shattered internal organs regrowing, the through-and-through wound in his chest rapidly healing. At last, not a single scar was left behind, his skin as smooth as jade.
"I feel hot. I am done. I can't take it anymore."
Only just eating one-tenth of the egg, Han Tian had had enough. He felt as if his body was burning, unbearably hot. He walked away reluctantly, turning to look at the egg over his shoulder again and again as he went. He found a spot fifty feet away, sat down cross-legged, and started to refine the divine liquid so he could absorb the goodness of the essence.
He shot a glance at Little Tian, who had made a pig of itself with its belly bloating like a balloon. Divine liquid was overflowing out of its nostrils, ears, and eyes, yet it looked as if nothing had ever happened. What a pity that goodness had gone to waste, he thought. He could not bear to see that.
"Hey, Little Thing. Don't get too greedy and swallow everything." He then pulled back his attention and focused on the refinement.
At last, Little Tian had had its fill, more than it could take. It burped. Divine liquid was flowing out of his mouth, ears, eyes, and nostrils. It used its two claws to plug its ears, but the divine liquid flowed out of the nostrils. It plugged its nostrils, and the divine liquid flowed out of its eyes. It looked at the egg, upset and sighing.
"Caw, caw!"
Feeling helpless, Little Tian cawed and snarled at Wutian. It had consumed two-tenths of the egg, yet it felt it had not had enough, wanting Wutian to leave some for it. After that, Little Tian scampered up beside Han Tian. Like monkey see, monkey do; it sat down cross-legged and practiced refinement and absorption, its eyes drifting toward the egg occasionally.
Wutian let out a wry smile and shook his head. He walked up beside the giant egg. Suddenly an emotion hit him. He had sacrificed so much and nearly lost his life for this thing. But when he saw the expression of the other two, he thought it was probably worth the worth.
The translucent, brilliant divine liquid smelled sweet and aromatic. By smelling the scent alone, Wutian felt his shattered internal organs wriggle with numb and itchy feelings. But there was no pain, though.
His eating manner was elegant. He took out a porcelain bowl from the Mustard Pouch, filled it up, then sat cross-legged on the ground. He took a sip, and it melted instantly, leaving behind an aromatic aftertaste. As pure energy flowed in his body, the obstruction to the energy circulation was cleared. He felt calm, and his Essence Qi was transmuting.
Slurrp!
He gulped down everything at once with an obsessed expression. His body was glowing as the internal organs rapidly regrew. In just a matter of a few breaths, his body had healed, and the wounds cured, leaving no scars.
It was shockingly awesome in terms of taste and efficacy, many times better than that of the Essence elixir. No wonder Han Tian and Little Tian were wolfing down the thing as if they had not been eating for a week. Wutian could not help himself but fill up another bowl and gulped it down his neck. His body instantly boiled.
The divine liquid could make bones regrow flesh like a spring of immortality, nourishing his every inch of skin. As energy rushed into his broken Sea of Qi, it rapidly squirmed and became as good as new within a moment.
The energy was stabilizing his Sea of Qi continuously, making it many times more robust. The Essence elixir within was steaming with auspicious light.
At the same time, his muscles were being refined. Black and pungent impurities were excreted through his pores. Before long, Wutian felt his body more pristine than ever, and his power was rapidly increasing.
Before this, his hand could exert 8,000-9,000 pounds of force. Now, it was breaking the 10,000-lb barrier.
Cultivators in the Reborn Beta stage with 10,000 lbs. of strength were rare in the Redsun Mountains.
The God of War Secret Manual thankfully made this happen. Unlike other secret manuals' cultivation methods, which put out power and Essence elixir to the limbs or weapons to increase power, the God of War Secret Manual kept power and Essence elixir within the body, condensing them to every cell in the body to make the body stronger and more robust.
There was no fancy display but a potent substance. This was the uniqueness of the God of War Secret Manual.
But in the finest realm, things got a little hard to control. Wutian still could not figure out the way. He needed time to attain that insight. Perhaps he would figure it out one day when the time came, or he might not be able to understand it forever.
The three of them sat cross-legged on the ground, concentrating on the refinement and absorption practices. Their bodies glowed in a brilliant divine light, and their auras effused in the air.
Bugs and beasts of poison gathered around but too afraid to come close to the stele. They stopped a hundred feet out, looking on and reveling in the divine energy.
The giant egg was a naturally born divine being, the essence of which was of great benefit to humans and demonic beats alike. The pores opened, greedily absorbing the goodness until their bodies glistened with luster.
A couple of hours later, Wutian was the first to open his eyes. His body jolted and the thick mud on his body fell off completely. His skin was glowing, muscles strong like dragons with explosive power.
After absorbing the essence of the divine liquid, he finally broke the 10,000-lb barrier in strength and it was still increasing, his body cells becoming translucent and beautiful like a diamond.
Han Tian and Little Tian had stuffed themselves with the divine liquid. Light of brilliant colors became intense and Essence Qi surged. Things became so intense that there seemed to be thunder in their bodies. In fact, it was the sound of their bones colliding with each other as they rapidly evolved.
Wutian's heart skipped a beat. He knew that there was more to Han Tian than met the eyes. As a Metal, Wind, and Earth Being, Han Tian was still shrouded in a mystery.
After killing Huoshi and Liuyan to avenge the death of Grandpa and the villagers, I have to keep a distance from this guy. Wutian did not like those who were too mysterious.
Following that, he poured himself another three bowls of the divine liquid and downed it at once. Powerful energy rushed into and went on a rampage in his body, which was sonorous as it transmuted.
10,000 lbs.! 11,000 lbs.! 12,000 lbs.! 13,000 lbs. Finally, 20,000 lbs.!
Wutian's physical strength was rapidly increasing and achieved the 20,000-lb realm within a moment. His body glowed like a peerless weapon, fearsome and overpowering.
He continued to consume the divine liquid, one bowl after another. The essence of the divine liquid acted like a divine herb with an unparalleled divine efficacy. His body felt like a furnace with black smoke billowing, and his skin became more and more lustrous.
Boom!
Violent energy burst out of his body and spread into all directions, sweeping everything in its path with trees swaying and bugs and beasts fleeing for their lives.
30,000 lbs.!
Wutian had attained the 30,000-lb realm and his strength was still growing.
The embryo of a naturally born divine being was hard to find. Each drop of the divine liquid was more potent than a million Essence elixirs. Calling the ultimate elixir was no exaggeration. Wutian got lucky this time.
He was excited as hell. If he were to follow the cultivation method he used on normal days, absorbing the essence Qi of essence elixir, it could have taken him forever to achieve what he had achieved today. He could not help but think this was a gift from heaven.
As he continued to consume the divine liquid, one bowl after another, the evolution of his physique accelerated. His body now seemed like a bottomless, insatiable.
Forty thousand pounds, fifty thousand pounds, sixty thousand pounds!
After taking half of the divine liquid, his strength reached a 60,000-lb realm, which was a terrific figure, coveted by many.
There was only one in a hundred cultivators in the Reborn Beta stage possessed the 20,000-lb strength, one in a thousand with 30,000-lb strength, and not even one in ten thousand with 40,000-lb strength. Let alone it was 60,000-lb divine strength.
An invisible storm seemed to rage around him, with trees and bushes swaying violently, and dust and gravel flying.
Wutian's physical strength was too powerful now, so much so that the surrounding air was at the point of breaking down. The air within ten feet of him started to vibrate and distort as if it was going to rip open.
Boom!
Again, he achieved the 70,000-lb divine strength.
Powerful energy rushed out of his body with the entire island covered in a dust storm. Insects had fled the place and poisonous beasts went into hiding. Those vicious beasts in the wetland were all quaking in their boots.
"Damn it! Could you be gentler, please?"
The noise jolted Han Tian and Little Tian out of their state of cultivation. As they opened their eyes, they saw Wutian holding and drinking directly from the egg.
"Stop!"
"Caw, caw!"
The two quickly got to their feet and rushed over. This was not right. Han Tian had only taken one-tenth and Little Tian two-tenths of the divine liquid. How could Wutian eat all the rest?
They had experienced the potency of the divine liquid, the feelings of which were indescribable. How could they not be desperate now?
But it was too late. Before they could do anything, Wutian had gulped down all the divine liquid, leaving behind an empty eggshell.
"Caw, caw!"
Little Tian got very upset. It snarled and tried to get inside Wutian's mouth.
"Puke it out, damn you!" Han Tian was flustered, smacking the back of Wutian, hoping that he would throw up the divine liquid. He did not mind eating Wutian's puke.
However, horrific energy gushed out of Wutian's body, blowing the two away like a pair of meteorites. They happened to crash down on the head of the Mud Beast.
Roar!
The Mud Beast wailed in pain. At first, the Mud Beast was thinking of checking out what was going on. Little did it expect the two to crash-land on its head. The impact force was so great that it almost knocked it out.
Fortunately, Han Tian and Little Tian had the Mud Beast to thank. If not for the Mud Beast, they would have plunged into the wetland.
The little island began to shake. Except for the area within a hundred feet from the stele, cracks had formed like spider webs in the ground.
Wutian's strength was rising incessantly.
Seventy thousand pounds, eighty thousand pounds, ninety thousand pounds...
A rumble rose.
As soon as Wutian's strength reached the 90,000-lb realm, the island broke apart, and the wetland bubbled as if boiling water. Mud started to swell and upturned hundreds of feet into the air. But it had not stopped; Wutian's strength continued to swell.
"Run!" Han Tian shouted quickly.
Needing no advice, the Mud Beast had swung into action, fleeing on all its tentacles, finally avoiding the mud wave.
"Damn it. It got away with it," said Han Tian indignantly.
Ninety-two thousand pounds, ninety-five thousand pounds, ninety-nine thousand pounds!
An even louder rumble rose as a burst of energy shot up into the sky, driving away miasma and sending the earth trembling. It was as if a megathrust earthquake was happening. The island was gone, mud upturning, flying bugs, and poisonous and vicious beasts were drowned.
"Ninety-nine Ultimate Realm!"
Han Tian was awestruck. He did not even bother with the incoming mud wave, his eyes filled with a sense of disbelief.
