In his hand was a half-spherical object, split open in the middle, with jagged edges caused by sharp teeth. It had a bluish-green color and emitted a dim glow, feeling icy to the touch.
"Is this really the Heaven-Eating Serpent Inner Pill?" Ye Tian looked at the Heaven-Eating Serpent Inner Pill in disbelief. He never expected that he would obtain something he had never even considered touching without any effort.
Hiss, hiss, hiss...
A chilling aura spread from his palm throughout his body, and then visible wisps of ghostly light drifted out from the damaged inner pill, making faint sounds as they floated away.
Seeing this, Ye Tian quickly swallowed it down. Since the Spirit Beast Inner Pill had been damaged, its Spiritual Energy was leaking out, and it wouldn't be long before it was depleted. At that point, this treasure would be no different from trash.
Although the Heaven-Eating Serpent Inner Pill was only half intact, it was still quite large, several times bigger than any inner pill Ye Tian had obtained before, indicating the substantial amount of Spiritual Energy contained within.
Of course, not all inner pills rich in Spiritual Energy were large; however, any large inner pill would definitely contain a significant amount of Spiritual Energy.
Once the inner pill entered his stomach, the icy sensation he felt while holding it transformed into a chilling cold, as if thousands of ice spikes were rapidly piercing into Ye Tian's limbs and bones.
"Ugh..."
Caught off guard by this fierce chill, Ye Tian let out a soft groan. He immediately felt his entire body stiffen; it was evident that the cold energy emitted by the inner pill was affecting his blood, causing it to slowly begin to freeze.
"How could this happen?!" Ye Tian exclaimed in shock. A person's life relies on their blood; if the blood freezes, it signifies death.
He had previously consumed Spirit Beast Inner Pills multiple times and endured much suffering, but he had never experienced anything like this before. Although the Spiritual Energy had been intense before, it only impacted his meridians and caused pain from there. But this Heaven-Eating Serpent Inner Pill directly attacked his blood—this was extremely dangerous.
Concerned for his life, Ye Tian couldn't afford to be careless. He quickly circulated his Martial Origin Power throughout his body in an attempt to expel the chilling energy that was causing his blood to freeze.
As the two energies collided, a sizzling sound echoed within his body. This sound was inaudible to the outside world but resonated in Ye Tian's mind like thunder, shaking him to the core.
Despite the loud noise, Martial Origin Power had little effect; after colliding with the chilling energy, it vanished almost instantly while his blood continued to freeze.
At that moment, frost began to form on Ye Tian's eyebrows, hair, and skin surface, and his thoughts started to become muddled.
He could feel the blood in his veins crystallizing, cutting through the blood vessels as it flowed, waves of piercing pain surged through him.
However, this pain came at just the right moment. Stimulated by the pain, Ye Tian gradually regained some clarity. He opened his eyes wide, and a glimmer of green light burst forth from them.
After becoming somewhat alert, Ye Tian bit down on his tongue. He did this to sharpen his awareness because he knew he would soon adapt to the pain of the freezing blood, at which point he would fall into a numb state and would soon freeze to death.
“How can I expel this chilling energy?”
Ye Tian rapidly thought of ways to dispel the coldness in his mind. In an instant, he arrived at an answer: since Martial Origin Power was ineffective, he would try using spiritual energy. First, both belonged to the same category. Second, spiritual energy was different from Martial Origin Power in that it was drawn from within rather than absorbed from the outside. This characteristic might very well counteract the chilling energy flowing through his blood.
With this thought in mind, Ye Tian immediately opened his Spirit Pouch. Feeling the call of Divine Consciousness, a fierce wave of spiritual energy surged out and clashed with the chill in an instant.
Ye Tian gritted his teeth, prepared to endure excruciating pain. However, this time there was no sign of the previous situation; instead, the spiritual energy and chilling energy surprisingly harmonized. After converging in one place, they began to merge, causing the chilling energy to gradually weaken and the blood to slowly return from its frozen state.
“Whew...”
Seeing this development, Ye Tian let out a long breath. Where there is yin, there must be yang; previously, Martial Origin Power was yang relative to the chilling energy, so their collision naturally led to conflict. Spiritual energy belonged to yin; thus, its gathering and merging were expected. However, why the chill dissipated remained a mystery.
Ye Tian furrowed his brows for a moment and realized the answer upon deeper reflection. At that time, Martial Power and spiritual energy could not coexist, but after forming the Spirit Pouch, the situation began to change. The current scenario mirrored that past experience; it seemed that the dissipation of Chill was undoubtedly due to the Spirit Pouch's influence.
Understanding this principle, Ye Tian continued to close his eyes and concentrate. Although Chill was rapidly dissipating, he still did not dare let his guard down because this Swallowing Sky Jiao was after all a Primeval exotic creature; no one could guarantee whether its inner pill held any peculiarities.
Hiss...
As Chill dissipated with a faint sound and along with the operation of spiritual energy throughout his body gradually returned to the Spirit Pouch, part of it then differentiated from the Spirit Pouch to refine his body.
The Spiritual Energy that had been differentiated by the Spirit Pouch was very gentle and easily resonated with Martial Origin Power. In this rapid yet stable vibration, Ye Tian distinctly felt his body growing stronger bit by bit; he could also withstand vibrations from Martial Origin Power at an increasing speed.
This situation indicated that he was making progress, and at this rate, it wouldn't be long before he broke through.
“I wonder what grade this Heaven-Eating Serpent Inner Pill is; such powerful Spiritual Energy must be at least at Profound Level? Even if it's only half as strong, it should be around Earth Level Five.” Ye Tianxin felt a hint of excitement as he speculated inwardly.
Excitement was accompanied by a sense of regret, as the inner pill was incomplete. Not only had it been bitten in half by the Swallowing Sky Jiao, but a significant amount of Spiritual Energy had also been lost. If it weren't for this, it would have been easy for him to reach the Fourth Stage of Martial Mastery with this item.
Once this thought emerged, it quickly took root, transforming regret into frustration. He was frustrated with the Swallowing Sky Jiao for being so despicable and with himself for not noticing the half inner pill in time.
"Wait, how can I be so greedy?"
Ye Tian shook his head. He realized that his frustration was misplaced because if it weren't for the two Swallowing Sky Jiaos trying to devour each other's inner pills, he wouldn't have been able to obtain even half of an inner pill with his strength. Moreover, if the inner pill hadn't been damaged and only half remained, he would likely have already met a gruesome end, his blood completely frozen. The chilling aura of just half an inner pill was already so strong; one could only imagine how powerful a complete one would be. Furthermore, if it had been whole, his human greed would have surely compelled him to swallow the entire thing, which would likely have resulted in instant death from freezing.
As he pondered these thoughts, time passed quickly. Before he knew it, the Spiritual Energy of the half inner pill had been fully absorbed. Ye Tian opened his Divine Consciousness to investigate inwardly. He intended to check whether his Spirit Pouch was sufficient, but upon looking, his brows furrowed deeply.
For there before him were two Spirit Pouches!
"Second Spirit Pouch?!" Ye Tian was exceptionally excited, and goosebumps instantly covered his body.
Of course, the Second Spirit Pouch was absolutely worthy of such excitement because having one Spirit Pouch already allowed him to defeat opponents of higher levels. With the assistance of two Spirit Pouches, challenging a Three-Stage Martial Artist as a First-Stage Martial Artist should be completely manageable.
The appearance of the Second Spirit Pouch was so sudden that Ye Tian remained excited for quite some time, unable to calm down even after the Spiritual Energy of the inner pill had completely dissipated.
He carefully examined the Second Spirit Pouch and noticed that it was much smaller than the First Spirit Pouch; however, it did not possess the ethereal and dispersed quality that the First Spirit Pouch had when it was newly formed. It seemed that the powerful Heaven-Eating Serpent Inner Pill's spiritual energy had directly enhanced it to a certain level. Like the First Spirit Pouch, it also had a faint golden light connecting it to his Dantian.
Ye Tian was overjoyed; the formation of the Second Spirit Pouch was comparable to breaking through a stage and might even exceed that.
"I wonder how much my Martial Origin Power has improved."
He muttered to himself and then gathered his energy. Using Yuqi Tayan Jue, he swiftly moved fifteen zhang away.
Before him stood a massive stone known as Azure Xuan Stone. This type of stone was significantly harder than ordinary stones and was typically used for constructing underground chambers due to its corrosion-resistant and pressure-resistant properties. As such, chambers built from this stone were incredibly sturdy and would show no signs of damage even after being corroded by moisture underground for hundreds of years.
Ye Tian was not here to choose building materials; he aimed to test his improved strength because it was said that this Azure Xuan Stone could withstand a full-force strike from a Martial Master without shattering.
With this thought in mind, Ye Tian felt eager to try. He bent his waist and inhaled deeply before throwing out a punch.
Bang!
With a loud crash, stone fragments flew everywhere. Under Ye Tian's powerful strike without using martial arts, the massive Azure Xuan Stone shattered instantly, and the splintered stones embedded deeply into the surrounding trees.
Seeing this, Ye Tian nodded in satisfaction, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Of course, with his previous strength, he could have shattered the Azure Xuan Stone, but he would not have done so so effortlessly. This clearly indicated that he had indeed broken through, and it was very likely that he had reached the late stage of Second-Stage Martial Artist.
To verify this specifically, Ye Tian closed his eyes again and focused. As the Martial Origin Power vibrated rapidly, he quickly reached a conclusion in his mind.
Every improvement in Martial Mastery is extremely challenging, so those who break through can naturally feel the changes in their bodies clearly. Although Ye Tian's breakthrough process was much simpler than that of ordinary people, the boiling and surging Martial Origin Power within him would not lie after the resonance.
He had indeed reached the late stage of Second-Stage Martial Artist, just one step away from becoming a Three-Stage Martial Artist.
Moreover, this step could be easily crossed because he still had the Wolf King's Inner Dan. As long as he consumed and refined it, he could break through at any time.
Thinking of this, Ye Tian was overjoyed, but reason told him not to rush. The Three-Stage Martial Artist was already within his grasp, but it probably wasn't the right time for a breakthrough yet.
Huff...
Ye Tian exhaled contentedly, tidied up his emotions briefly, and then hurried back to the Cold Family. On his way back, he even looked forward to the upcoming battle with the Wang family over the Divine Dragon Treasure!
