The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast-Chapter 429 - 400: Devouring the Divine Object

Kaiwen nodded.

This time, it was replaced with a Tier Five Blue Grade Spiritual Material.

Soon, the absorption concluded quickly, still without difficulty.

[Talent Evolution Level 51% → 52%]

Kaiwen remained silent, with countless data sliding in her emerald green eyes, seemingly perceiving and calculating something.

Dozens of seconds later, Lin Guang’s voice rang out once more: "You can try the Tier Six now." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

The refinement of Tier Six Spiritual Material was not that easy.

Even though Lin Guang had become much stronger, comparable to a Five-Star Spirit Master, sixty level was still a transcendental leap from the mundane.

As a true strategic resource in this world, something that even True Men would covet, the Ether and essence contained within Tier Six Spiritual Materials was an enormous figure. Even if made into reusable Spiritual Artifacts, their power would be extremely formidable.

Plus, since it’s being consumed in a short term manner, depleting momentarily, it’s impossible to remain silent and would be quite intense.

Even with the aid of the array and meditation pod, when Kaiwen put the first Six-Star Spiritual Material into the cylinder to assist in the refinement, the entire underground Spirit Rune Array seemed to awaken, brilliance spread everywhere, and the machines started to rumble loudly.

Rumble——

Buzz——

The golden fetal membrane of the Heaven Refining Acupoint further unfolded and rotated, spreading from the internal link to the external, extending into the cylinder, enveloping that bizarre Spiritual Material resembling sharp fangs, flickering with pale yellow light.

[Baron’s Fang]

Link established.

Refinement begins.

In the next moment, golden light flowed out from the platform where the meditation pod and cylinder were located, with the intricate and changing array patterns subtly revealed within, illuminating this subterranean space brightly.

This Six-Star Spiritual Material slowly deformed and melted within.

Vaguely, a roar filled with wildness began to reverberate in the space.

"Roar——"

The essence, like a gentle stream, was absorbed into the Sea of Spirit in a way that straddled the line between illusion and reality, then further refined through this layer of fetal membrane, and infused internally.

And the Heart of Terra, like a baby eager to be fed, immediately assimilated this high-quality essence, different from the previous two, into dark golden fragments, then absorbed them.

Thus...

The hollows and cracks on this heart began to grow and mend at an unprecedented speed.

Thump thump

Thump thump——

This heartbeat carried a certain spiritual penetration, causing the hearts of the four present to tremble.

Guiding the Heaven Refining Acupoint, Lin Guang clearly felt that... his spirit had been distinctly impacted.

In an instant, Lin Guang felt as if the world before his eyes had changed.

Beyond the normal vision, illusions began to appear before his eyes.

Irregular dark golden lines, an alienated and transformed golden ocean, layers upon layers of white rhombuses extending from the inside out...

Countless surreal sensations bombarded his mind.

Only after about an hour did this Spiritual Material get fully consumed, and Lin Guang slowly came back to his senses, taking deep breaths of the solution.

"..."

[Talent Evolution Level 52% → 55%]

His pupils appeared slightly dilated, with a white rhombus flashing by.

It’s difficult to describe the sensation just experienced.

If one had to describe it...

It felt like a bird that had lost its wings regaining its feathers, like a fish without gills rediscovering the ease of breathing.

It was as if a missing part was recovered, a long-lost self was finally being pieced together again, and the feeling of incompleteness and restlessness in the heart was momentarily soothed.

It was simply... a supreme enjoyment.

The mirage of the Black Crown solidified slightly again, flashing across his forehead.

This was not an illusion, but a fact.

The Spiritual Power in the Sea of Spirit had become more resilient and its amount had further increased.

But...

The faintly strange sensation across Lin Guang’s entire body suggested that the Source Stone Crystal was stirring.

"Should we continue?"

Soaked in the solution, Lin Guang could hear Kaiwen’s cool yet faintly anxious voice coming from outside.

"The treatment provided by that Seven-Star Miracle Master is currently somewhat effective, but if you continue, even I don’t know how long this effect will last."

Lin Guang understood the meaning of this statement.

His current Source Stone Body Cell Fusion Rate was over 30%, but there were very few Source Stone Crystals in his flesh and organs, and even none in the surface body.

So... where were they?

The answer was simple.

They were all in the bones.

If you sweep over Lin Guang’s entire body bones with spiritual power, you would find his skeleton still maintains the texture akin to the dark golden crystal gleaned in the Celestial Ladder Mountain Secret Realm, from the skull to the feet, which means that the source stone content in his bones is already extremely high.

However, apart from this, all his bones have a faint membrane resembling a seven-colored net.

This was done by that Seven-Star Miracle Master for him, as a measure to delay as much as possible the outward spread of the source stone crystal on his bones.

But this only treats the symptoms, not the root cause.

Because according to the last physical report, his bone marrow has already started to transform into source stone, and the blood produced contains a high source stone content.

Lin Guang soothed himself in the Meditation Pod for a while, then immediately used spiritual power to vibrate the air, conveying the information to Kaiwen.

"Then while this treatment is still effective, let’s test the effect of devouring the Divine Object."

"..."

Lin Guang seemed to know what she was concerned about, and softly said, "The premise of conquering instinct is understanding instinct."

"If I avoid it like the plague, then I am even less likely to know how to confront it, let alone defeat it."

Kaiwen’s right hand, hanging at her side, silently clenched but did not speak to dissuade him further.

"Stay alert at all times, if anything goes wrong, stop immediately."

At the next moment, she extended her hand, taking out an ancient-looking white porcelain bottle that seemed to still carry her body heat from inside her white coat.

——Divine Object · [Wuyong]

The outer bottle is not the true form of this Divine Object, but a specially crafted Tier Five Spiritual Artifact for storing it.

Its true form is a layer of ashes thin as a cicada’s wing, obtained from a deal between Kong Guofeng and the Tu Family.

Its ability is to obscure the brilliance of all things, making bright pearls dull, beauties void of color, and the ashes will dissipate on their own after a short time.

Simply put, it’s a one-time use concealment type Divine Object.

Even a Seven-Star Divine Object, once sprinkled with [Wuyong], is no different than a roadside stone, and even a Seven-Star True Master probably can’t discern it.

The drawback is that there’s too little ash, just a thin layer at the bottle’s bottom, not enough to cover a person or a Spirit Beast, only to conceal small items, and the ashes will dissipate after a short time, thus its practicality is quite low.

Perhaps in certain specific situations, it can play a huge role, or it could be used as raw material for a High-Star Miracle Master to craft into other things.

But clearly, this Divine Object is a bit of a white elephant for the Tu Family.

Because the Tu Family’s inheritance is typically a head-on collision type, high attack and high defense, even if indeed refining it at great cost, they’d have to consider whether it’s worth it, and when it could be used...

If they truly need concealment, teaming up with allied True Man and Beast King would suffice.

Thus, after contact, the Tu Family semi-sold and semi-gifted it to Lin Guang.

Kaiwen’s slender delicate hand placed this Divine Object into the metallic pillar.

And Lin Guang was prepared.

The next moment, the golden fetal membrane spread again from the top of the Sea of Spirit, golden brilliance silently glowing and spreading over the Meditation Pod.

Like lightning streaking across the night sky for an instant, spiritual power rushed forward along the specialized channels meant to guide spiritual power, ultimately surging into that cylinder.

Then...

The aura of [Wuyong] and his Sea of Spirit at some moment connected as one, as if they were a single entity.

Refinement began.

In an instant, the entire Spirit Rune Array seemed to operate at full power, vibrating slightly.

The torrents of Ether roared and wandered within the patterns, yet with Kaiwen and "W3" standing there like two calm anchor roots, firmly suppressing and controlling it, providing as much assistance as possible to Lin Guang in the Meditation Pod.

But even so... Lin Guang could still feel quite a bit of struggle.

Totally different from Qing Yueyang’s final gift, seemingly specially refined for him, with no burden at all.

Divine Objects also contain Dao Marks, but their Dao Marks are dead, not alive, appearing rigid and stiff.

...Indeed, refining Divine Objects is very difficult.

Spiritual power was instantly being crazily extracted, [Refining Heaven Acupoint] began to rotate and unfold further, guiding his spirit, charging into the cylinder, reaching straight to that white bottle.

Lin Guang’s spiritual power pierced into it like countless slender roots, engulfing that cluster of ash.

In a flash, in Lin Guang’s eyes, the boundary between reality and illusion shattered, the illusion replaced reality, reappearing before his eyes.

A black crown reappeared silently on his forehead.

——Divine Objects are different from Spiritual Materials.

It surpasses a certain boundary, capable of retaining more will and memory, already reaching the scope that the current Black Crown can absorb.

The next moment, he instinctively began reading the Divine Object, the will and information within it.

Like seeing the source of this Divine Object’s formation, Lin Guang’s spirit was suddenly like being swept down a waterfall by a river, vaguely seeing countless images rushing forward, enlarging, rotating, turning into blurry shadows melding into the body.

It was the scene of a great bird soaring under the night sky.

Legend says, in a certain realm, there is a Divine Bird Mirage Ash, shaped like a dark bird, dwelling in secluded valleys, living by devouring brilliance.

On nights when the moon fades, it shakes off a body of gray feathers, wherever it passes, bright pearls lose their color, treasures gather dust.

Someone once collected this ash, discovering it could temporarily obscure spiritual objects’ auras, and thus named it [Wuyong].

This ash was obtained from a certain secret realm of that world.

The essence refined from the Dao Marks, along with the information read, flooded into his Sea of Spirit like a torrent of gray, vast and mighty, rushing towards the [Heart of Terra] enveloped by the [Refining Heaven Acupoint].

The injuries of the [Heart of Terra] further healed.

This time, the trend of Talent Evolution level increase is extremely rapid.
