Chapter 657: Big Yellow Advances

“Puff...”

The big lazy turtle opened its mouth again and dropped the lizard’s carcass, which had shrunken until it was out of shape.

After looking deeply at Ou Yangming and Big Yellow, the turtle suddenly turned its gigantic body around and hurried in another direction.

The Turtles were known for being slow, but it depended on who or what they were compared with. Since Ou Yangming’s Illusion Formation had not been removed yet, the middle-rank lizard, which was the pathfinder before this, was still trapped inside.

Although the lazy turtle did not say anything, Ou Yangming and Big Yellow understood what it meant.

‘Leave that lizard to me.’

Since it could kill a high-rank spirit lizard, a middle-rank one would not be much. On the other hand, Ou Yangming and Big Yellow did not withdraw their weapons as they no longer had a sense of urgency. Instead, they calmed down and allowed endless energies to enter their bodies.

Big Yellow’s face turned red, and the pores all over its body opened. Following that, steam gushed out as though water had just been boiled.

After a brief moment, the steam enveloped them and even masked their figures.

Ou Yangming’s body did not undergo such an exaggerated change, but there was an unusual phenomenon too.

His eyes became brighter, which looked like 2 small suns with unusual lights amidst the dense fog. If one that did not know what was happening looked at him, one would not believe that he was a human.

Sure enough, a high-rank spirit beast was unordinary. It was significantly different from low-rank spirit beasts that they devoured in the past.

Once a high-rank spirit beast’s flesh and blood turned into energies that flowed into their bodies, their bodies immediately made the most out of them.

Big Yellow was a low-rank spirit beast. After being excited by the foreign energies, its spiritual power kept accumulating, allowing it to rise to a higher peak.

As for Ou Yangming, he mainly cultivated mental power for the time being. As such, at least 70% of the energies that kept entering his body were converted into mental power, and they were stored bit by bit in his sea of consciousness. Moreover, due to the impact from those foreign powers, his sea of consciousness was vaguely showing signs of being expanded.

Even though the tendency would not cause Ou Yangming to become an Advanced Spiritualist, it allowed his strength to take a big leap forward.

When Ou Yangming and Big Yellow withdrew their weapons after an hour, the humongous high-rank lizard vanished.

Nonetheless, they did not recover right away. Instead, they sat on the ground and tempered their bodies quietly to slowly use their gains for their own.

“Puff, puff, woof, puff...”

Strange sounds were heard coming from Big Yellow. Its aura grew stronger and began to drift.

When Ou Yangming opened his eyes and looked at the big yellow dog, his face could not help but change.

The fellow became unstoppable after it absorbed the lizard’s flesh and blood, such that it started to break through to the middle-rank boundary.

Even so, this was not odd because Big Yellow was a low-rank spirit beast while the lizard was a high-rank spirit beast. Ou Yangming absorbed half of the energies from the lizard’s flesh and blood, and they were consumed when they converted into spiritual power, but what the big yellow dog absorbed was enough to support it to advance.

Ou Yangming’s eyes flickered. As he sensed Big Yellow’s drifting aura, he quickly retrieved from his interspatial bag the jade bottle that stored the concentrated immortal liquid.

He removed the stopper and poured the immortal liquid into Big Yellow’s mouth.

The concentrated immortal liquid was a great item, and it was precious to them. Needless to say, even the best item had an upper limit for its usage. If Ou Yangming were to do this during a normal time, the boost would be too much that Big Yellow would be killed by it.

Nevertheless, the situation was different at this time; Big Yellow was showing signs of not being able to control its aura after it absorbed enormous energies. Most importantly, it was advancing to the middle-rank boundary.

Given the situation, it did not need to play safe. Instead, it had to do its best to gather spiritual power to succeed in one go.

Sure enough, Big Yellow’s drifting aura changed the instant it swallowed the concentrated immortal liquid. It was as if a pair of invisible hands were gathering its aura bit by bit again.

Big Yellow’s concentrated power was so forceful that it was unbelievable, where it kept boiling inside its body and lashed its meridians.

Having said that, while the gathered powers inside Big Yellow’s body slowly became powerful, its aura somehow became faint when the lashing began. It seemed like every lash would consume its life, causing its life force to weaken.

Ou Yangming was anxious, but his hands were tied.

He was a human cultivator while Big Yellow was a beast cultivator. They cultivated different techniques, hence the young fellow could not help even if wanted to.

All of a sudden, Ou Yangming was moved. He had a feeling that his fire might be able to give immediate effect.

The young fellow gritted his teeth because this was a much more difficult decision than when he summoned the poisonous pill’s spirit to attack the lizard earlier. Despite that, he could not watch the big yellow dog getting into danger.

With that, he shook his hand to release his scorching fire, which he sent to Big Yellow.

Next, something weird happened—Big Yellow trembled out of the blue and swallowed the fire.

Ou Yangming was dumbfounded because it was his first time seeing this. ‘Did Big Yellow just... Swallow my Military Fire?’

A peculiar fluctuation appeared in his sea of consciousness unexpectedly.

Back then, Ou Yangming and Big Yellow carried out a ceremony, causing their mental conceptions to be mysteriously connected. Through the connection, the young fellow could sense that the big yellow was seeking help from him as it needed more Military Fire.

Ou Yangming raised his eyebrows, but he released more fire without any hesitation and sent them into Big Yellow’s body.

It did not go on for long as it only lasted several breaths, but Ou Yangming had sent 10 flames into the big yellow dog’s body within that short period.

Subsequently, Big Yellow slowly quieted down. Its aura was still not strong enough, but it was slowly stabilizing.

At the spur of the moment, a large head appeared from mid-air. The big lazy turtle exclaimed, “This fella’s advancing to the middle-rank boundary already? That’s too fast!”

‘This lazy turtle’s looking down on Big Yellow.’ Ou Yangming furrowed his eyebrows. He scoffed and questioned, “Lazy turtle, you know what rank my mental power is in?”

The lazy turtle answered after some thought, “Yes, you’re an Intermediate Spiritualist. Ah, humans are different; you have weak physiques, but your cultivation speeds are the opposite of your physiques. We’re jealous!”

Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. He did not expect the big lazy turtle to flatter him like that.

Humans might cultivate faster than beasts, but it was extremely rare that Ou Yangming became an Intermediate Spiritualist after entering the Spiritual Realm for only several months.

The big lazy turtle was aware of this, but it did not say a word about it.

Ou Yangming shook his head and noted, “Lazy turtle, Big Yellow and I are different.”

The lazy turtle fell silent for some time, then it warned the young fellow, “You’re different indeed, but your advancing technique’s a shortcut, so it’s best not to use it if you can.”

During the fight earlier, the big lazy turtle witnessed how the high-rank lizard ended, thus it guessed the reason behind it. It was envious of the advancing speeds of Ou Yangming and Big Yellow, but it would politely refuse to adopt the same method they did.

Ou Yangming was moved, and he said, “Lazy turtle, what do you know? Please tell me.”

“I know that your technique belongs to an Almighty Being, who’s one of the very few top-notch people in the world and has an unpredictable mightiness. That said, apart from that being, everyone that cultivates this technique will explode and die in the end,” the lazy turtle answered. It looked deeply at Ou Yangming and advised him, “Cultivators will become addicted to the technique and will find it hard to abstain from using it, but life’s precious, Master Ou, so please consider it again.”

The young fellow’s face changed. He knew the Devouring attributes had a flaw, but he did not expect the consequence to be something that they would have to pay with their lives.

Nonetheless, after cultivating for many years, he did learn something.

According to his observation, the Devouring attributes were not as harmful as they sounded. ‘Or am I not formidable enough to be harmed yet?’

The big lazy turtle looked away and commented, “Big Yellow’s using this method to advance, am I right? Ah, it looks like its accumulation isn’t enough, so it’ll likely have a terrible fate this time.”

Ou Yangming was stunned. Every change in Big Yellow’s body was under his supervision at the moment. He was not the one advancing this time, but he clearly sensed the big yellow dog’s state. According to his senses, Big Yellow’s power had slowly gathered, and they were launching waves of strikes. After the yellow dog curbed its spiritual power, it also seemed like everything would eventually fall into place.

If there were no mishaps, Big Yellow’s advancement would be a success.

Who knew, the lazy turtle gave an entirely different answer, so Ou Yangming was rather suspicious.

“Woof—”

Big Yellow’s body suddenly tensed up, and it widened its eyes. Its body’s momentum had been accumulated to an extremity, and the aura that it released became more violent as though a storm spread with its body as the center.

Quickly after, a momentum that was even steadier and more appalling emerged.

Accompanied by the overbearing momentum, Big Yellow opened its eyes, which were filled with unequaled confidence.

A middle-rank spirit beast!

Big Yellow had successfully advanced into a middle-rank spirit beast.

“Hey?” The big lazy turtle blinked in disbelief and confusion.

It had just said that Big Yellow would likely fail, but the fellow advanced at once. This was simply a slap on the turtle’s face, and it stung badly.
