Chapter 40 - Assimilation into the Monster Beast (1/2)

When the Beast God Inner Core made contact with Zhong Yue's forehead skin, thick scales formed around his face. The force within the beast god essence was unfathomably strong. It was simply untouchable!

At the same time, Xin Huo shouted, "Subsume it into your psyche!"

In such a short while, Zhong Yue's body was already turning into a scaled creature. His forehead also started to feel an itch as there a horn began protruding out from it. Even his coccyx was getting a burning hot sensation as if a tail was developing!

Zhong Yue could not afford to hesitate any longer, his psyche flooded out and bonded around the inner core pulling it into his psyche ocean. It was weird, as the goose egg-sized inner core was swathed with his psyche, it entered his psyche ocean as if was never a physical item in the first place!

Zhong Yue was shocked, his soul in the psyche ocean gazed dumbfoundedly at the inner core that was now floating in his psyche ocean, shining and giving off warm lights.

"How did it…" He was still unable to interpret what happened back then entirely.

"The Beast God Inner Core is the beast god essence, how would the essence be physical?"

Xin Huo laughed and said, "All you need to do now is to keep on visualizing the Sui Sovereign to refine the non-stop leaking essence from the Beast God Inner Core. Otherwise, you will be assimilated into the beast god's monster beast form."

Zhong Yue quickly visualized the Sui Sovereign but the essence was too strong, and a greater amount was flowing out from the Beast God Inner Core. His rate of refinement was simply unable to keep up.

He quickly lowered his sights, his palms were turning thicker and stronger, scales were hardening, and the muscles on his arms were bulging up!

Cui!

A clear sound came from behind, Zhong Yue could tell that a hole was torn by something on his beast hide shorts. He quickly reached out his hand, and his hand got in touch with a growing tail!

He turned his head and had a look, it was a dragon's tail with tiger skin patterns but in the middle of the dorsal grew long bristles of coarse hair.

"Xin Huo, what is going on?"

Before his sentence was finished, two gentle and clarion sounds could be heard. Two corneous coronal bones grew to protrude out from his forehead!

His body was also starting to increase in size, his muscles and bones kept on developing, one after another new ribs were formed, there were 24 ribs before, but now they were doubled!

In the blink of an eye, his body was two times larger than before, and he had turned into a monster beast!

"Eheh, the fallen beast god was actually a Xiang Dragon, having the bloodline of the dragon, horse, and tiger!"

While Xin Huo exclaimed out in surprise, Zhong Yue's head was also starting to change. His jaws became wider and sharp fangs developed in his mouth, soft and long beards grew out, his head was like a combination of a dragon head, horse head, and a tiger head!

His neck was also lengthening, scales grew all over, but there were bristles around his neck, Zhong Yue could not help but to support himself down on the floor with his two hands, his tail grew longer and longer, it was a dragon's tail with tiger skin patterns and horse bristles!

As of now, he was already 17-18 feet long, like a dragon, a horse, and a tiger, exuding the imposing aura of a first class monster beast!

"The Xiang Dragon is an auspicious beast, also a strong and ferocious beast!"

Xin Huo first praised the Xiang Dragon and then said diffidently, "Brat Yue, I miscalculated, this beast god essence is a little too strong…"

The power of the Beast God Inner Core was as incredible as a raging tsunami. The power was consummated into an inner core with the size of a goose egg. Even if Zhong Yue did not touch the inner core, the power that the inner core discharged was enough to transform him into a monster beast!

Even with him visualizing the Sui Sovereign, he could not change this tragic ending at all!

In addition, Zhong Yue could still feel more incredibly strong power energy flowing out from the inner core into his body, speeding up the assimilation process!

"Xin Huo, can you be any less trustworthy?" The Xiang Dragon, which was Zhong Yue, opened its mouth and asked in a guttural voice.

Xin Huo scratched his head; he grew more diffident as he whispered, "En, about that, from now on, you can't stop your Sui Sovereign visualization, if you stop, the assimilation process will speed up even faster. Once the Xiang Dragon bloodline completely takes over your human bloodline, you will never be able to return to your human form anymore…"

Zhong Yue immediately felt his temper begin to boil over. Xin Huo quickly said, "But along with the increase of your prowess, you will be able to visualize the Sui Sovereign and refine the beast god essence in a quicker speed until you can revert to your human form and not stay stuck in the dragon form. En, well of course, you will have to keep on visualizing even when you are asleep, or otherwise, you might wake up to the fact that you have permanently turned into a Xiang Dragon. Actually, it's not really that bad to turn into a Xiang Dragon, don't you think so?"

"Keeping on visualizing even when I am sleeping?"

Zhong Yue was shocked. It would then be like a 24-hour non-stop cultivation; this was an unprecedented challenge. If he failed, then he would stay as a Xiang Dragon for the rest of his life!

But the benefits were obvious, cultivating ten hours a day was considered hardcore to the average upper house disciples and those that cultivated 16-hours a day were only essentially achievable after giving up all their leisure time!

While cultivating 24-hours a day meant that he would have to persist in his visualizations at all times including times for having meals, personal excretions and sleeping, it was clear how difficult this seemingly insurmountable challenge was!
