Thinking of this, Li Xiaotian glanced at the Dragon Horse again, then casually said.
"Just two corpses, I have use for these two, I can't give them to you. I'll catch a few demonic beasts for you later, so you can eat your fill all at once."
"Roar! Li Xiaotian, you wish! Don't think I don't know about the ancient god's blood contained within these two corpses. You want to fool me with demonic beasts, do you take me for a fool?"
The Dragon Horse growled, its eyes glaring furiously at Li Xiaotian, its tone threatening.
"Hurry up and let go of me! You rode me, insulted me, and now you want to snatch my opportunities, absolutely not!!!"
"Cough, cough!"
Li Xiaotian coughed dryly. The horse's words were becoming increasingly unbearable. He decided to simply restrain the Dragon Horse and then re-examine the two corpses before him.
The Dragon Horse's words were like a fuse, giving him direction.
Blood! The problem lies in the blood!
Li Xiaotian waved his hand, extracting a drop of blood from a corpse. After observing it carefully, a strange glint flashed in his eyes.
Indeed, there was something wrong with this blood. He had practiced the techniques of the Sea of Blood and was very sensitive to blood.
The blood in the corpses was slightly different from ordinary human blood, possessing something extra.
Normal human blood contained only energy and the aura of its owner, even their pressure.
But the drop of blood before Li Xiaotian, besides these, had an additional characteristic: power!
Li Xiaotian's heart stirred, and he separated the drop of blood. He discarded the ordinary human blood, leaving only a trace of more scarlet qi and blood.
This was it! A sharp glint flashed in Li Xiaotian's eyes, and he rejoiced. He knew the secret of the ancient god's physique.
The main reason why the body cultivators of Man Zhou condensed the ancient god's physique was because of this qi and blood in their blood.
"Ancient God's Blood!"
Li Xiaotian whispered, a smile curving his lips. He glanced at the Dragon Horse beside him, acknowledging its significant contribution to his discovery.
He looked at the two corpses before him, placed his hand on Gu Ji's corpse, and then with a thought, activated his devouring power, extracting this ancient god's blood from the body.
Crack, crack!
As Li Xiaotian continued to extract, Gu Ji's corpse began to change. There were constant sounds from within his body, and at the same time, his physique visibly shrank.
Without the influence of the ancient god's blood, his giant form could no longer be maintained.
After about fifteen minutes, three drops of deep red blood floated in Li Xiaotian's hand. A powerful aura emanated from them, giving one the illusion that these three drops of blood were three giants.
At this point, Gu Ji's corpse had also shrunk to normal human size. Without the ancient god's blood, it was just the corpse of an ordinary late-stage Overlord.
Li Xiaotian gazed at the three drops of ancient god's blood in his hand, his thoughts stirring. Were the ancient gods of Man Zhou legends truly existing beings?
Otherwise, the peculiar blood could not be explained.
It seemed he needed to visit Man Zhou, Li Xiaotian mused. On one hand, it was his curiosity about beings called ancient gods, whether they were true deities or merely another race, different from humans, like the demon race.
On the other hand, it was self-evident: the ancient god's blood before him. He wanted to rapidly increase his strength from his current foundation, and the ancient god's blood was the best choice.
Li Xiaotian took a deep breath, touched a drop of ancient god's blood with his finger, and absorbed it.
Boom!
Instantly, a powerful force was born within him. His entire bloodline boiled, and his body temperature rapidly increased.
Li Xiaotian grunted, but his eyes flickered with excitement. He could feel his body changing again.
More specifically, his body's cells were rapidly dividing due to the ancient god's blood.
If Li Xiaotian were to describe it in one sentence, it would be that his attributes remained the same, but their quantity increased.
So that's how it is! Li Xiaotian smiled, looking at the remaining two drops of ancient god's blood, and absorbed them together.
The Dragon Horse beside him went red-eyed. These were all his! Yet they were occupied by this shameless human!
Rumble, rumble!
Thunderous sounds emanated from Li Xiaotian's body. His physique was constantly changing, and in the blink of an eye, he became broad-shouldered and strong.
But the next moment, he suppressed it, returning to his original state. He knew this was his body's desire to transform into the ancient god's physique.
However, he was currently in a cave, and there was still another corpse to absorb. Li Xiaotian was not in a hurry to transform, and moreover, the ancient god's blood within him had not been completely digested.
"Not bad!"
Li Xiaotian murmured, his tone full of joy. He glanced at the other corpse and proceeded to extract.
If it were an ordinary person, they would certainly be fully focused on absorbing the power of the ancient god's blood at this moment, with no energy left for anything else.
But Li Xiaotian was different. His golden body could withstand the power of the ancient god's blood. Even if he swallowed a bomb, he wouldn't have to worry in the slightest, as this power could not cause him any harm.
He only needed to wait for his body to absorb it automatically.
In a short while, three more drops of ancient god's blood appeared in Li Xiaotian's hand. Similarly, the other corpse also shrunk to normal human size.
Seeing this, Li Xiaotian continued to absorb. However, seeing the Dragon Horse beside him whose eyes seemed ready to split from anger, Li Xiaotian smiled, secretly reserving one drop of ancient god's blood, and then absorbed the other two.
The temperature in the cave continued to rise. Li Xiaotian's body was already glowing red, and terrifying heat permeated the entire cave, melting the outermost soil.
After about half a day, it was already deep night outside. Only then did Li Xiaotian's body return to a calm state.
He glanced at his body and couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly. His clothes had long since melted.
Fortunately, there were only him and the Dragon Horse in the cave, and the Dragon Horse was restrained by him, so it couldn't see his most critical parts, thus avoiding public humiliation.
Li Xiaotian moved his mind, and golden qi and blood enveloped his entire body. In an instant, he was clad in a suit of golden clothing.
"I'll have to find a way to forge some clothes later," Li Xiaotian muttered to himself. The clothes on these two corpses were also extraordinary, but they had been rendered tattered by him earlier and could no longer be used.
Furthermore, his golden body could not withstand clothes made from ordinary materials. If he exerted himself during combat, it would be even worse, and he would be exposed with just a little force.
In the previous battle, if he hadn't deliberately maintained himself, his clothes would have been ruined long ago.
Therefore, to forge clothes that suited him, they would need to be at least of the quality of top-tier heavenly soldiers, like the demonic sword.
Li Xiaotian waved his hand and released the Dragon Horse from its restraint. The Dragon Horse roared and lunged forward, opening its massive jaws.
"I'll bite you to death! Li Xiaotian, stealing my opportunities, you deserve to die!!!"
The Dragon Horse roared, its eyes red, lunging with all its might.
Li Xiaotian casually waved his hand to block it.
Crack!
Roar!!!
A scream erupted from the Dragon Horse's mouth. Several of its newly recovered dragon teeth shattered, and its mouth was gushing blood.
"As a beast, you cannot be too impulsive. Not letting you swallow them was for your own good. Besides, I've kept the corpses for you. Two Overlord corpses are enough for you to eat."
Li Xiaotian said unhurriedly, curling his lips. This horse was outrageously foolish, only thinking of eating and eating. If this continued, it would eventually explode and die.
"Roar! Li Xiaotian, you are shameless!!! I don't want these broken corpses!"
The Dragon Horse roared, but despite its words, its body was honest, and it swallowed the two corpses in one gulp.
But instantly, the energy within the Dragon Horse became violent, and the energy overflowed. It was overloaded again.
