Somewhere a few miles away from the current battle between cultivators and mortals alike, on a sharp and imposing mountain, there was a large hole in the huge mountain, inside the cave one would notice a black haired youth sitting down in lotus position with a huge beasts body behind him, even thought the beast was dead it's body still carried a slight hint of pressure and divinity.
...
"Hahaha, after I absorb this guy I will kill anyone who came looking for me.
I can't be blamed, after all I did warn them"
Wu yu's pupils shined with a strange golden light as he started cultivating and absorbing the divine beasts spiritual energy...
The primordial dragon cultivation technique increased wu yu's speed of absorbing the divine hou beast by a large margin...
...
A few days went by as wu yu finished fully absorbing all its spiritual Qi.
While outside many people continued their pursuit after him and didn't seem to have the thought of giving up.
The last half of the beast seemed to have been split up by many people, while some were gravely injured and nearly dead while some were actually dead.
...
After he finished absorbing the Qi of the divine hou beast wu yu turned and looked at its dried up corpse.
"After I swallow his body and blood to refine my spiritual Qi and body I will surely break through to the middle stage of the xiantian realm."
Wu yu's eyes shined with determination as he transformed into his snake form and began to slowly swallow the whole beast, starting from its long and muscular leg which was already bigger than himself.
"Let's make this easier"
Wu yu summon many lightning blades and cut up the divine hours body into many large chunks...
Wu yu slowly then started swallowing one large leg and then refining.
...
This process repeated itself as he ended up refining the whole hou beast and breaking through to the middle stage of the xiantian realm..
Wu yu's body didn't undergo a huge transformation, but after eating the hou beasts blood and body his body seemed to have gained some of the hou creatures attributes.
Small white horns started erupting from above his head and all the way towards his tail, it looked like all his bones have erupted and pierced his flesh.
His sense also increased and he felt a large increase in strength and speed too
His black feathered wings stayed the same, sadly.
"So after absorbing that divine beast I gained its horns on its back"
Wu yu transformed back into his human form and started consolidating his cultivation and making it steady..
His dantian and meridians were filled with ferocious and tyrannical Qi of the hou beast..
...
"Young master, I'm sensing a breakthrough that way, he must be devouring the hou beast, let's hurry"
In the sky three youths flew above the sky, the youth in the middle seemed to be the "young master".
"You don't have to tell me.."
The "young master" in the middle carried an air of arrogance as he stared at the cave in the mountain a few hundred miles away from them..
"This bastard actually dares to steal half the beast for himself, courting death."
The "young master stared at the cave with killing intent.
