It was a great delight to Austin to discover the Beast Energy-extracting Skill at the Holy Tomb of the Veritable Demon Sect.
After reading through the formula, he realized that this skill took advantage of the blood of diabolic beasts to help the cultivator gain a greater physical strength.
During the practicing of this skill, the cultivator also needed to consume an elixir called the Magical Beast Elixir.
After drawing in the energy from the beasts' blood, the cultivator must consume a Magical Beast Elixir every month. Only in this way could the warrior convert the energy of the beasts and add them to his own powers.
That was to say that, to make this body-refining skill work, the cultivator had to absorb the blood from diabolic beasts and regularly consume the Magical Beast Elixir.
The blood of diabolic beasts was the main ingredient, while the Magical Beast Elixir functioned as a catalyst. Only when the two worked together could the cultivator enhance his physical power.
Unfortunately, diabolic beasts ranked below the seventh grade didn't qualify as ingredients. Their energies were too weak to consume for these purposes.
The blood of an eighth-grade diabolic beast could help to increase a cultivators' physical strength by 500 pounds.
The blood of a ninth-grade diabolic beast could increase this by 1, 000 pounds.
The blood of a tenth-grade diabolic beast could in turn increase a cultivator's strength by 2, 000 pounds.
The blood of a low-grade Beast Master would increase one's physical strength by a huge leap of 5, 000 pounds!
From there the benefits were staggering! The blood of a mid-level Beast Master could help increase one's strength by 10, 000 pounds;
while the top-grade Beast Master's blood would yield an increase of 15, 000 pounds!. . .
The higher the diabolic beast's strength was, the more useful it could be in enhancing one's physical power.
In essence, if Austin wanted to cultivate this body-refining skill, he would have to kill as many diabolic beasts above level eight as possible.
An eighth-grade beast could match any Sky Realm cultivator. However, slaying a beast of this level would only help him gain an extra 500-pound physical strength.
At the thought of this, Austin couldn't help but purse his lips in displeasure.
In terms of his current physical strength and martial arts skills, he could barely eliminate a tenth-grade diabolic beast. However, taking out a tenth grade
efore when he had practiced the Overlord Body-refining Formula. So he simply gritted his teeth to endure it.
He grimaced in pain, as the veins of his body bulged all over.
Blood pulsed around his body so quickly that Austin could even hear the sound it made as it rushed through his arteries.
He could hear his own heart beating loudly.
'It hurts.
It's killing me!' he screeched on the inside.
However, Austin was a tough man, and he also had a strong and able body. So he didn't utter even the slightest sound of pain. He just bit into his lower lip, and blood flowed over his chin from where his teeth had cut into his skin.
Although it hurt so much, he could also feel how everything inside him was changing.
His organs, skeleton, energy meridians, cells, muscles, and all other parts
were being renewed and replenished.
Even his vital energy had been solidified and enriched.
He felt like he was becoming a much stronger cultivator.
Each part inside his body, down to a cellular level, was absorbing the essence of the gold blood.
The pain slowly began decreasing in intensity. As it began to disappear, he started to feel more comfortable and at peace.
Violet energy emitted from his body, compressing and crushing the air around him, with an enormous physical power.
He had become much more energy filled.
At this point, Austin activated his spiritual sense to see what had happened inside him. He found that his organs, skeleton, and cells were all clean and new like a baby's.
His blood flowed vigorously.
The new spiritual energy even appeared as a soft glow on the surface of his skin.
