Chapter 604: Chapter 402 Yang Shi Retrieves the Body_3
Originally, Yang Shi wanted to bring back the corpse of that ape demon as well, but found it had already been charred, completely devoid of spiritual power.
Completely destroyed.
The attack of the Golden Core Talisman is devastating to a Foundation Establishment stage demon clan.
Yang Genshuo also tested [Blessing: Absorption] but found it unusable.
[Absorption can only be used on Spirit Beast species, not on other intelligent races.]
“As expected, it’s still not as good as Yang Qiangzheng’s Immortal Talent [Corpse Reclaimer], which can only be used on beasts, not other races.”
In the definition of myriad races, there are no wild beasts.
When wild beasts absorb the essence of heaven and earth, they grow into Spirit Beasts, slowly gaining spiritual intelligence, learning to speak the languages of other intelligent races, understanding communication, and learning magic… but ultimately, they are still just beasts.
Unlike the myriad races, which are born with intelligence and can cultivate.
Spirit Beasts are more like a product of their environment.
If using modern concepts… it’s like a mutation in a radiation zone; the higher the radiation, the more intense the mutation.
“And Yang Qiangzheng’s [Corpse Reclaimer] is entirely different… it specifically absorbs the corpses of the myriad races.”
Just from the talent, it’s a natural-born god of slaughter, kill then eat, and eating leads to improvement.
“What kind of cannibal flow…”
“The talent is excellent in every way, except it’s ridiculously expensive!”
If it weren’t for Yang Shi’s life span running out, I wouldn’t be willing to use it at all!
Immortal Level Talent, borrowing it once costs 1000 Incense Fire! Google seaʀᴄh novel(ꜰ)ire.net
Yang Genshuo glanced at his Incense Fire Value.
“It’s not even five digits anymore… at this rate, I’ll soon be unable to use it.”
Yang Genshuo had to use Incense Fire every few days to absorb a Qi Refinement stage Spirit Beast, then supply himself with daily Blessings.
But recently, he’s encountered some issues.
“Before, time flew by daily: one day equaled a year, it felt like I couldn’t run out of Incense Fire; now, a month in reality equals a year in the game… it seems the Incense Fire is a bit insufficient.”
Absorbing Spirit Beasts is easy; let the Yang family descendants prepare more offerings, store them in a storage ring, and the spiritual power won’t dissipate much.
But each time [Blessing: Absorption] requires Incense Fire, and not a bit less.
In modern times, a single Absorption requires 300 Incense Fire.
Previously, the game spanned 3 years; he’d absorb once, meaning it averaged to 100 Incense Fire per year—no problem at all, not an issue.
Now, with the game spanning 1 year, he needs to absorb 10 times, totaling 3000 Incense Fire.
The consumption is terrifying!
“No, at this rate, I won’t be able to sustain it; either I stop my absorption, or speed up the game.”
Now, the uses for Incense Fire are growing, whether altering the tide of battle with [Miracle: Patriarch Gift Me Strength] or instantly transmitting treasures with [Miracle: Flying Book], all require a lot of Incense Fire.
He must reserve Incense Fire for emergencies.
“After using it on Yang Shi today, I need to plan carefully…”
“Yang Shi, I am descending a miracle for you, granting you Zheng’er’s talent temporarily to absorb this Poison Scorpion Demon corpse, are you ready?”
“Patriarch, Yang Shi is always ready! Please grant me strength!”
Yang Shi was extremely excited; this was a means to extend his life!
A golden light descended from the sky!
Yang Shi’s hands emitted a faint green light, and his mind was flooded with understandings of the [Corpse Reclaimer] talent.
“I see…the temptations Zheng’er faces daily are so great.”
Yang Shi felt an uncontrollable urge to turn all living beings into corpses and absorb them to enhance his Qi-blood.
Fortunately, he had self-control, calmed his mind slightly, and touched the Poison Scorpion Demon’s corpse with his hands.
A dark green light burst forth, and the corpse transformed into countless streams of demon energy flowing into Yang Shi’s body!
Meanwhile, a demon core turned into pure demonic power and entered Yang Shi’s mouth.
This time, the commotion was far greater than Yang Qiangzheng’s!
Yang Shi’s face contorted, his whole body erupted with crackling sounds, as if his body was being reshaped like that day.
Yang Shi’s condition was terrifying, the skin at the tailbone split open, and a… tail grew out!
Yet Yang Shi’s gaze remained firm, maintaining his true self.
He was countless times stronger than Yang Qiangzheng.
“I want to become stronger! I want to grow even stronger!”
Driven by an obsession, Yang Shi fully absorbed the corpse of this Golden Core demon clan!
Yang Shi’s silver hair flew wildly, countless airstreams burst from his body!
Yang Genshuo’s spiritual sense also provided a prompt.
