I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

Chapter 432 - 185: Huo Shan Advances to Divine Treasure!

On the flying ship, Shen Can sat on a wide wooden chair on the deck, quietly waiting for the results of the Wizards’ examination.

In fact, even without looking at the data, after Huo Shan cultivated the Luwu Divine Form Battle Body, his combat power was already ample enough to defeat Ancestor Luo River alone.

Thinking of Ancestor Luo River, Shen Can felt it was time to bring them back as humanoid intelligence combat power testing subjects.

"Can you still transform into a Fire Ape?"

After Huo Shan reverted to his human form, he received Shen Can’s message.

Then, he began to attempt the transformation into the Fire Ape.

After several tries, he consistently formed into a hybrid of Fire Ape and Luwu, seeming unable to revert back to the Fire Ape form.

...

The examination on Huo Shan persisted until nightfall, with one glowing piece of Fire Marrow after another, and red fire glistened beneath the ground, pulsating.

On the flying ship, the Wizards were compiling the new data.

Huo Shan changed into a beast robe and was eating meat stew.

"Master, the compilation is out."

Huo Yunn approached Shen Can, saying, "Compared to the previous data, the number of Beast Patterns on the two hundred and six bones inside him has not changed, totaling nine hundred and thirty-six."

"The Beast Patterns have fused from originally resembling the Fire Ape to a state of merging Fire Ape and Luwu."

"The brightness of the Beast Patterns has increased by one level, temporarily set as Level 4."

The Wizards of the Martial Division have been researching Desolate Beast Battle Body, experienced over a thousand clanspeople’s cultivation progress.

Since it went from nothing to existence, standards for data were established during the measurement process.

Huo Yunn wasn’t just talking; soon, immense drawings were laid out on the large table.

The drawings depicted the skeletal structure of Huo Shan before and after transformation, with every Beast Pattern on the bones sketched out.

"Master, in the Fire Ape Battle Body state, Beast Patterns appear in crimson red, while after merging Luwu and Fire Ape, the Beast Patterns appear in crimson gold."

"Moreover, this time we also discovered, after the transformation of Luwu and Fire Ape dual war bodies, several bones’ Beast Patterns on the spine showed missing phenomena."

Huo Yunn placed the previous Fire Ape Battle Body skeleton drawing in front of Shen Can.

"Master, look, this is the previous Fire Ape Battle Body state, all the Beast Patterns on the bones are clear, without any missing details."

"Only this time, the Beast Patterns on the spine showed missing parts, although it’s only less than half a percent of the pattern, but such is the case for all the Beast Patterns on the spine, whereas other bone parts haven’t shown this issue."

"I retrieved the cultivation records of other clanspeople, after every individual’s cultivation of the War Body, each single Beast Pattern was complete."

"Currently, it’s hypothesized that the cultivation of dual Beast Form War Body triggers this change, and further tribal experiments are needed for confirmation."

Shen Can came to Huo Shan’s side, his Divine Sense penetrating into Huo Shan’s spine.

The Beast Patterns in the non-activated state were like engravings on the bones; once activated, they expanded, flickering with dazzling brilliance, spreading throughout the body like a network.

In his perception, indeed, the Beast Patterns on Huo Shan’s spine lacked a bit.

Counting it, it barely amounts to about three percent of a complete Beast Pattern.

As for the Beast Patterns on other bones outside the spine, there was also a bit of disappearance, though the extent was so minimal it could be neglected, not discerned by the Wizards.

The internal changes in Huo Shan birthed a hypothesis in Shen Can’s mind.

The degree of disappearance of Beast Patterns correlated with the transformation into a human War Body.

The basis of this hypothesis also stemmed from changes within his own body.

Within Shen Can’s body, traces of Beast Patterns on the spine have disappeared by seventy percent; saying it’s vanished is more like it’s been devoured.

Previously, not much speculation was made, originally thinking the Beast Patterns were consumed by himself.

Just like Little Dragon Fish devouring Treasure Blood, assimilating into its Dragon Race Origin.

Now, it seems this situation is not a singular case.

It’s a relief not being a lone instance, allowing expansion of experimental samples for further verification.

"Human Race Origin."

Shen Can suddenly thought of this term.

Could it be the cultivation of dual Beast Forms could stimulate the Human Race Origin, initiating the refinement of Beast Patterns?

At this moment, Huo Yunn brought over several other drawings.

"Master, these are Beast Pattern Maps of the Human Ape and Tier Four Beastification inside."

"The Beast Patterns within the Human Ape have already penetrated into the Blood Marrow of the spine, and manifested Beast Patterns have been extracted into its blood as well.

Its entire skeletal structure has already deviated from resembling the Human Race, showing obvious changes."

"For Tier Four Martial Artist undergoing Beastification, the Beast Patterns are similarly imprinted deep into the skeletons, along with the blood and flesh also being infiltrated.

Though its skeletal structure still consists of two hundred and six pieces, slight superficial changes have begun, requiring further detailed investigation later."

Subsequently, Shen Can discussed this hypothesis with Huo Yunn and mentioned the slight disappearance of Beast Patterns.

Next, instructing the Martial Division to select tribespeople to comprehend dual Beast Forms, to verify the proposed hypothesis.

Huo Yunn noted down Shen Can’s words, also memorizing terms like ’Human Race Origin’, ’spine’, planning to promptly prepare for subsequent experimentation.

Shen Can hadn’t anticipated that having Huo Shan prepare for advancement before Divine Treasure would reveal such novel findings.

A group of Wizards from the Martial Division thoroughly examined Huo Shan inside and out before satisfactorily departing.

After resting for two days, Huo Shan attempted once again to transform into the Fire Ape Battle Body but found it still impossible.

Attempting a solo transformation into Luwu, proved unsuccessful as well.

Only transforming into a hybrid form of Luwu and Fire Ape was achievable.

Instead of fixating on this, Huo Shan fully devoted himself to preparing for breaking through to Divine Treasure.
