Chapter 339: Chapter 272: Spinal Divinity

Looking at the huge Golden Spear sticking out of Taotie’s rear.

Although it seemed as slender as a toothpick, that was only relative to Taotie’s massive form.

To Chen Xing, this thing resembling a Golden Spear was absolutely enormous.

Almost a hundred meters in length, it looked like a golden flagpole from a distance.

Chen Xing climbed onto Taotie’s back, which now felt smooth as new, like stepping on a rubbery surface with both resilience and elasticity.

He bent down and touched Taotie’s smooth back with his palm.

It was very tough; even using all his strength, he could only manage to press a small palm imprint on Taotie’s back.

But as he released his hand, it bounced back to its original shape.

Taotie shook its large rear, asking Chen Xing to help remove the hard thing stuck at its backside.

“Ao ao ao~”

Seeing its master delaying, Taotie kept urging.

“Just wait a moment…,” Chen Xing stood in front of the Golden Spear.

He reached out and grabbed the spear.

The moment his palm touched the spear, a strong burning sensation spread from his palm.

The intense pain made him withdraw his hand involuntarily.

Looking down at his palm, there was a crescent-shaped mark where he had been burned.

The next second, the Golden Spear melted in place, turning into a golden liquid that flowed into Taotie’s body through its wound.

Taotie felt itchy all over, and its physical wounds began to heal automatically.

Chen Xing frowned, realizing there was something deeper at play.

He opened Taotie’s panel and noticed that its Energy Level Limit, like the Sìxiàng, was also 200.

Yet its Quality was higher than that of Sìxiàng, both showing a limit of 200, which shouldn’t be the case.

Chen Xing suspected that just as the displayed limit of 100 Energy Levels before Transcendence, only after breaking the limitation of 200 Energy Levels and entering the Ascension Realm would it show higher.

A new list appears for Divine Organ, showing the bones, indicating its divine transformation was concentrated in its spine.

Chen Xing couldn’t help but think of that oddly shaped Golden Spear, very likely related to it.

It had inherited a Divine Organ right after transcending.

He wondered what trouble it might bring next.

At the bottom of his heart, Chen Xing felt a premonition of trouble.

At that moment, the Shadow that was in a symbiotic state with Sìxiàng seemed to have discerned something incredible.

It sensed a higher level of life essence emanating from the Golden Spear.

It had only felt such essence from Them before.

That Golden Spear was likely connected to the divine.

And it might just be a part of God’s body.

The shadow climbed along the ground to Chen Xing’s shoulder, its black silk threads outlining the shape of a small, exquisite mouth, and whispered its speculation into Chen Xing’s ear.

Although Chen Xing had already guessed as much after seeing the panel, he was still very reassured that the shadow could tell him these things.

“Your information is very useful,” Chen Xing generously praised.

The praised shadow felt inexplicably happy, and its black silk threads joyously swayed.

Chen Xing pondered in his heart. The shadow suggested it might be a part of God’s body, so, if that was the case, the source of the Divine Organ shown on the panel was perhaps clearer now.

Could the essence of that Golden Spear actually be a segment of a divine-level spine?

Attracted and merged with Taotie, it’s likely of the same Species as Taotie’s Sky Scar Eye.

This piece of bone also indirectly proved something: the Species of the Sky Scar Eye had produced a divine-level being.

Its enemies… were probably of corresponding levels as well.

That doesn’t sound any less troublesome than the Dark Realm Arbiter.

“How are you feeling now? How much has your magic power increased?” Chen Xing asked Taotie.

Taotie sensed it for a moment. If previously its magic power was just a small pond barely enough for it to bathe in, now it was a large lake where it could swim freely!

Taotie had a deep impression of the land of Thousand Island Lake, where its old enemy resided. To Taotie back then, that large lake felt vast and boundless.

So when Chen Xing asked for a comparison, it immediately provided what it believed to be an accurate description.

It seems there has been no small increase in the limit of magic power.

As for the degree of strength increase, there was no need for Taotie to describe it. As a Beast Tamer who had signed a walker’s covenant, Chen Xing’s strength was linked with Taotie’s strength.

Compared to Taotie, who had not even finished elementary school, high school graduate Chen Xing estimated that his own strength had increased at least fourfold since transcending.

A portion of this strength came from when Taotie had transcended, and another portion came after the Golden Spear merged into Taotie’s body.

Turning, Chen Xing stepped out, and the shadow’s tendrils beneath him formed a platform. Without any extra movement from Chen Xing, it directly brought him next to the Sìxiàng.

The black tendrils under his feet trembled slightly… The shadow realized its master’s strength seemed to have grown even stronger.

His inadvertent display of strength was somewhat straining for it.

…

Hundreds of miles to the east of this place, in a vast marshland.

Ripples came from deep within the marsh…

Two figures emerged from the depths of the marsh, one of whom had a green snake coiled around his arm.

Invisible water ripples formed a shallow pattern under their feet, allowing them to hover above the surface of the water.

“We found it, it’s indeed here,” the blue-haired man on the left said with a smile. He gently stroked the small snake coiling around his arm. “Who could have thought that the final resting place of the Forbidden Water King would actually be within the Fentian Territory? So many people searched in the Bibo Territory for so many years to no avail, yet the address recorded on that map turned out to be real.”

“With the Forbidden Water King’s inheritance location confirmed, we can go back and report. Once the experts from our clan come to completely assimilate the inheritance site, our Shui Family might be able to completely absorb the Han Family and become the sole Noble Family of Bibo Great City—”

“Boom!”

The water surface erupted into large waves.

The blue-haired man disappeared from his spot.

The small snake he left in place was also shattered.

“Shui Qie, what are you doing!” The blue-haired man incredulously looked at his cousin, touching his left shoulder; the green snake that had been wrapped around his arm now assumed an attacking stance, its cold eyes staring at the blue-haired man across from it.

But it also triggered his Beast Tamer Skill: Crisis Transfer.

The skill would relocate him to a random safe spot within a hundred meters at the very first moment he was attacked.

However, this skill had a cooldown period, and its relocation range was limited, only effectively countering sudden attacks.

“We spent eight years finding this inheritance; why should we hand it over to the clan? I hinted at you several times on our way back, yet you pretended to be dumb, I don’t believe you didn’t understand my intentions,” Shui Qie said coldly. Next to him, a floating beetle, its body a deep blue, spread its wings. Several dark blue water bombs orbited in the surrounding void.

“It’s because the clan raised us, and the information about the inheritance site was also provided by the clan. Only by strengthening the clan can we—” Shui Hu seemed to still want to persuade Shui Qie, but before he finished speaking, the water under his feet surged like a behemoth turning over, a giant wave with a violent current erected itself between the two men to block them apart.

Great Flood!

Shui Hu didn’t intend to face off against Shui Qie; they had lived together for eight years, and he had a rough comparison of their strengths as Beast Tamers.

Knowing he couldn’t match his opponent, but as long as he could dive into the river, relying on the agile maneuvering ability of his Beast Taming, his opponent was unlikely to catch up.

But almost simultaneously as the Great Flood Skill was released, the water bombs surrounding the blue beetle transformed into dense raindrops that pelted towards where Shui Hu was.

Since an attack had already begun, Shui Qie knew there was no turning back.

Watching the silhouette speed away in the floodwaters, Shui Qie jumped onto his creature’s back and quickly pursued.

Meanwhile, Taotie suddenly turned its head hundreds of miles away, as if it sensed something. It stared towards the east with its wise eyes.
