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 consan elixir called the Magical Beast Elixir.
After drawing in the energy from the beasts’ blood, the cultivator must consa 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 consthe 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 consfor 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.

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 beast would only help him gain 2, 000-pound physical strength.
He was not overly keen on this cultivation method. If possible, he had hoped to acquire more physical strength by practicing this technique.
Besides, there was another big problem for him to work out. He would still have to take the Magical Beast Elixir.
One pill was valid only for a month.
Once the user consumed a Magical Beast Elixir, he could then convert the energy contained in the blood of diabolic beasts and add it to his own power for that month.
In the next month, the Magical Beast Elixir would lose its effectiveness. If the cultivator didn't take another pill, he wouldn't be able to absorb any more of the power in the beast's blood.
The Magical Beast Elixir was an eighth-grade pill, and refining it presented challenges which was the really pain in the ass.
He was just a fourth-grade pill refiner. It was still impossible for him to refine the eighth-grade Magical Beast Elixir.
Suddenly a thought dawned on him. He took out the three red pills from his Space Ring. They exuded a pleasant scent.
These were the Magical Beast Elixirs which he had discovered in the coffins of the Veritable Demon Sect's leaders.
Austin had spotted only three in total.
Hence, he could practice the Beast Energy-extracting Skill for three months without worrying about running out of the Magical Beast Elixir.
As he observed the pill, it suddenly occurred to him that he had already absorbed one beast's gold blood.
'l consumed the single-horned centaur's gold blood.
That monster's strength was much stronger than a Beast Master's.
| already absorbed its blood by chance. As long as | consa Magical Beast Elixir, | can gain an increased physical strength, ' Austin thought happily.
The blood of a top-grade Beast Master could help one gain an extra 15, 000-pound physical strength.
‘How much physical strength would | possibly get after | successfully transfer the power inside that monster's blood into me? Even without taking the Magical Beast Elixir, | have already gotten 30, 000 pounds of force.
If | consthe Magical Beast Elixir now, | might acquire horrifyingly enormous physical power." The more he thought about this idea, the more thrilled he became.
Impatiently he put two of the pills back in his Space Ring and stared greedily at the remaining pill which lay on the palm of his hand.
Then, raising his head, he stuffed the pill into his mouth eagerly.
The moment he swallowed it, the pill dissolved and turned into a deliciously flavored current which rushed deep into his body. He could feel it reach from his mouth right to his very extremities.
'What's happening?’ he wondered, as his eyes dilated in shock.
Austin felt as if he had been turned into a human fireplace and wood fires burned inside of him.
He experienced the agony of being on fire then, and gasped in surprise at the unanticipated reaction.
It seemed like his very organs were burning away into nothingness! The heat inside his body increased a hundred fold, and then white vapors coming from him roared into the sky.
Austin was tormented by tremendous pain as if all of the cells inside of his body were being divided into smaller parts. He felt like hundreds of thousands of ants were eating away at his internal organs and countless knives were cutting him into smaller slivers.
'Oh... my God! The Magical Beast Elixir is amazing! Now the power of the single-horned centaur's blood is improving my physique in this most ferocious manner. Although | am physically strong, this is too much. Oh, shit! | can't make it. I'm going to lose consciousness... If another cultivator whose body was weaker than mine was in my shoes, he might be consumed by this and burned to ashes... Con, Austin, you can do it! Hold on! Oh, it hurts. | don't care. The more pain | am feeling, the more strength I will get, ' he thought, gnashing his teeth against the agony.
This wasn't the first tthat Austin had suffered unbearable pain due to a body-refining skill. He had already done it once before when he had practiced the Overlord Body-refining Formula. So he simply gritted his teeth to endure it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe 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 becmuch 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.
