Chapter 201: Devouring the Dragon Bone, Tianpeng Dao Body Reaches Small Success

After this bout of combat with the Underworld General, Ye Tian had a grasp of his own strength; he likely could not defeat a Great Saint Realm powerhouse, but an ordinary Small Saint Realm Peak powerhouse was definitely no match for him.

Of course, that excludes those Heavenly Pride of the Saint Realm.

For instance, someone like King Yu, who had just broken through to the Saint Realm, possessed strength that surpassed his.

But when it came to life-preservation ability, King Yu was not necessarily better than him.

"Continue forward!"

Ye Tian walked slowly; within the inner perimeter of the Mingdu Mountain Ruins, he dared not fly quickly, for if he accidentally encountered a fatal danger, he would be done for.

Soon, he encountered a crack in the earth, resembling an abyss.

This was definitely cleaved open by an attack, and there might be something beneath the earth crack.

Ye Tian hesitated for a moment, then decided to go down and take a look.

Whoosh!

Ye Tian flew down, descending slowly.

The further down he went, the larger the space became.

Soon, he arrived at the bottom of the fissure.

He kept walking when suddenly, a sense of crisis washed over him.

Crack, crack, crack!!!!

The soil not far away split open, and a massive dragon head burrowed out, yet it lacked flesh and blood.

"It's a Bone Dragon!"

Ye Tian was grave, for this was no ordinary Bone Dragon; it was definitely a Small Saint Realm Peak Bone Dragon. The strength of such a Bone Dragon was incomparable to that previous Underworld General, as their life levels were different.

The Dragon Race is innately invincible among their peers, and Saint Realm dragons are all incredibly powerful, each a genius-level powerhouse.

Even after death, having transformed into a Bone Dragon, its combat power could still be considered invincible within the Small Saint Realm.

Therefore, the strength of this Bone Dragon was definitely extraordinary.

Soon.

The Bone Dragon revealed its entire body, emitting a black luster; it could likely be determined that this Bone Dragon was a Black Dragon that had transformed after death.

The Bone Dragon sensed Ye Tian and attacked directly.

"It must be the aura of me, a living person, that awakened this sleeping Bone Dragon. The Bone Dragon is very fast and not easy to shake off. If I run around blindly, I might encounter even greater danger; I must finish it off!"

Thus, Ye Tian also gave it his all.

Rumble!!!!

The two sides began to fight.

Relying on the advantages of his Three Great Dao Bodies and the Boundary Scale Dao Technique, combined with his Small Success Realm Sword Intent Manifestation, Ye Tian engaged it in combat.

"Such hard bones!"

Ye Tian's Sword Intent Manifestation struck the Bone Dragon, leaving only a series of marks.

Clearly, this Bone Dragon must have possessed an invincible physical body in life, and even its bones had been tempered to an unimaginable degree, likely possessing defensive effects comparable to a Divine Artifact.

"I can only strike its joints to make it fall apart!"

Ye Tian thought to himself.

Clang!

Ye Tian struck the joint at the dragon's neck, but a single blow did not sever it.

Thus, he attacked again and again, each strike making its joints loosen a bit more.

Time gradually passed; Ye Tian could not do anything to the Bone Dragon, and the Bone Dragon's attacks could not break his defense either.

However, after half an hour of continuous attacks, Ye Tian's Sword Realm finally succeeded in dislocating the joint at the Bone Dragon's neck.

Crack!

The massive Bone Dragon skull hung loosely.

Ye Tian seized the opportunity to continue attacking and soon severed its skull.

Having lost its head, the Bone Dragon's offensive power dropped significantly.

"Victory is in sight!"

Ye Tian continued his attacks, gradually dismantling the Bone Dragon's bones one by one.

Finally, the Bone Dragon collapsed and died completely.

"The bones of a Bone Dragon, what a treasure!"

Ye Tian picked up a bone, swallowed it in one gulp, and refined it using Heavenly Peng Devour.

This Supreme Great Divine Ability could refine all things; although the Bone Dragon's bones were very tough, they still could not withstand the Supreme Great Divine Ability of Heavenly Peng Devour.

Subsequently.

Ye Tian recovered his strength while refining the Bone Dragon's bones.

Suddenly.

Ye Tian was overjoyed; he discovered that the Bone Dragon's bones were of immense help to the Tianpeng Dao Body, far surpassing other materials.

"The Tianpeng Dao Body is inherited from the Golden-Winged Peng. Legend says the Golden-Winged Peng feeds on dragons; it seems this saying holds much truth. The Golden-Winged Peng likes to eat dragons not because it is stronger than dragons or superior to the Dragon Race, but because eating dragons helps improve the Tianpeng Dao Body."

Ye Tian thought.

And a Bone Dragon is also a dragon; the benefits of dragon bones for the Tianpeng Dao Body were self-evident.

"Perhaps this one Bone Dragon can elevate my Tianpeng Dao Body to the Small Success Realm!"

Ye Tian muttered.

Therefore.

He prepared to stay here to devour and refine this entire Bone Dragon before continuing to explore the Mingdu Mountain Ruins.

"Devour!"

"Devour again!"

Ye Tian ate one dragon bone after another, the aura of his Tianpeng Dao Body constantly strengthening, and his power growing more and more formidable.

"It seems I must venture more in the Earth Cave World to have hope of obtaining more opportunities and benefits, so that my strength can improve faster!" Ye Tian thought to himself.

If he continued to stay on Earth, even the Global True God Council would have no way to make his strength improve rapidly.

After all, compared to the Earth Cave World, Earth is merely a new world where spiritual energy has only been recovering for a few hundred years; how could it have any good things or great opportunities!

Days passed one by one, and the bones of this bone dragon were almost entirely refined by Ye Tian using the Supreme Great Divine Ability, Heavenly Peng Devour.

This day.

Boom!

Ye Tian's Tianpeng Dao Body ushered in a moment of transformation; his whole body became scorching hot, his stomach seemed to have become a sea of fire, and a phantom of a Golden-Winged Great Peng appeared on his body, growing increasingly powerful.

"The Tianpeng Dao Body is transforming!"

Ye Tian thought secretly.

And the transformation required a massive amount of energy; he swallowed all the remaining dragon bones in one breath, then took out various resources and materials and swallowed them all as well, which finally allowed the Tianpeng Dao Body to gradually pass through the transformation period.

Very quickly.

The temperature on Ye Tian's body lowered, his aura began to stabilize, and his physical constitution had far surpassed what it was before.

"The Tianpeng Dao Body has reached Small Success!"

"Hahaha, I reckon even King Xia wouldn't expect that I could cultivate a Dao Body to the Small Success Realm while in the Heavenly King Realm!"

Ye Tian said.

With his current strength, he was even enough to rival those weaker Great Saint Realm powerhouses; this was the confidence brought to him by the Small Success of the Tianpeng Dao Body.

"The bone dragon has been swallowed by me, and my strength has broken through; I must continue exploring!"

Ye Tian stood up and continued walking here.

Not long after, he saw a dilapidated underground palace.

Just as he approached this place, dozens of Underworld Soldiers and six Underworld Generals emerged.

If it were before, encountering so many Underworld Soldiers and Underworld Generals would truly have been able to cause him some trouble.

But now, he no longer held these Underworld Soldiers and Underworld Generals in his eyes.

"Tianpeng Dao Body, activate!"

"Kill!"

Ye Tian attacked with all his might, his Sword Realm fully opened, and the power of profound meanings merged into the Sword Realm; killing those Underworld Soldiers was like chopping melons and vegetables.

Even the Underworld Generals could not withstand a full-force strike from Ye Tian.

Crack, crack, crack!!!!

The bodies of the Underworld Soldiers and Underworld Generals were shattered one by one by Ye Tian and died on the spot.

Not long after, these Underworld Soldiers and Underworld Generals had all fallen.

Immediately, Ye Tian collected the weapon materials on them and swallowed them all; since the Tianpeng Dao Body had just broken through, these things could still be used to stabilize the realm of the Tianpeng Dao Body.
