As soon as Tie Zhu set his gaze upon the bottle that housed the Primordial Dragon's blood essence, he was struck by its sheer grandeur. The bottle was a masterpiece, a true work of art that glimmered and shone with a brilliance all its own. The intricate engravings on the surface of the bottle depicted a magnificent dragon, its sinuous form twisting and curling in a never-ending dance. The dragon seemed to come alive as Tie Zhu looked upon it, its eyes blazing with an inner fire, its scales and claws radiating light in all directions.
But it was what was inside the bottle that truly took his breath away. Three large droplets of crimson blood floated weightlessly within, shining with a brilliant golden light. The aura that they emitted was beyond anything Tie Zhu had ever experienced, a potent and irresistible force that called out to him.
"…So this is the blood essence. How am I supposed to consume this?" Tie Zhu asked, unsure if he was capable of doing so.
"The process of fusing with the blood essence is straightforward. First, you must clear your cultivation and start anew. To make the process less strenuous, there is a Qi-sucking pill available for your consumption. Simply swallow it and direct your Qi into it, and the process will be painless. Now, I will also guide you to the scroll containing the Primordial Heavenly Devouring Technique, so that you may commence your training as soon as your transformation is complete." Wang Yazhu spoke, leading Tie Zhu towards the necessary items.
With everything in hand Tie Zhu took a deep breath preparing himself for what was about to happen, but before he did so, he skimmed the first section of the Primordial Heavenly Devouring Technique Technique.
"$#@%%@ "Skin Essence Absorption," Tie Zhu exclaimed in disbelief, "How am I supposed to breathe through my skin?" This was the main focus of the first stage of the technique, and as he scanned the names of the later stages, he began to feel overwhelmed. "Soul Fusion... Essence Sculpting... Star Alignment... Celestial Manipulation... Origin Fusion..." Tie Zhu muttered nervously as he glanced over just some of the many stages. Fearing that reading any further would crush his motivation, he took one final deep breath before downing the Qi-sucking pill.
Feeling a sucking feeling in his stomach, Tie Zhu immediately directed the Qi he had just worked so hard to build up into it. As such, the Qi sucking pill greedily swallowed the entirety of his essence until there was not a drop left. Feeling his body empty once again Tie Zhu still coughed up a mouthful of blood. Although it was not too painful there was still a price to pay, but now the moment had finally come to consume the blood essence!
With a final burst of courage, Tie Zhu uncorked the bottle and swallowed the blood essence in one gulp. As soon as the blood hit his throat, he was enveloped in a warm and comforting energy, and he knew that the journey to mastering the Primordial Heavenly Devouring Technique had finally begun.
"Oh, I forgot to mention.. This transformation might hurt a bit, try not to lose consciousness though or the excess energy from the transformation might explode." Wang Yazhu spoke casually as if it were not a big deal. 'Hahaha, my time has finally come. I don't gave to pretend to be that stupid God of Righteousness and Forgiveness anymore or make any stupid excuses' He thought to himself as he waited for Tie Zhu's will to break.
"#$@##$%@ F*CK YOU!! YOU TRICKED ME, AHHHH WHO ARE YOU REALLY?!" Tie Zhu cried, promising to get his revenge if he made it out alive. 'I should have trust my instincts!' He thought as the Blood Essence made its way to his stomach.
"I didn't trick you, you really do have a Pure Yang body and you do have a chance at surviving, however its just not very likely. If it were anyone else it would be impossible though, so count yourself somewhat lucky! HAHAHA I, Wang Yazhu the Tentacle God is the smartest after all!" He bellowed.
Tie Zhu was just about to respond, when he suddenly felt a warm sensation slowly spreading around his stomach. "Hey this isn't so baAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH" Tie Zhu roared at the top of his lungs as the warmth rapidly transformed into searing pain that spread through every inch of his flesh like a blazing inferno. He let out a deafening roar as his organs were seemingly scorched to ashes from the inside out. Every breath felt like inhaling molten lava and his heart threatened to burst under the relentless barrage of agony. The pain did not stop there, rather it continued to spread to his lungs, liver, and all his other organs as if burning them to cinders.
Tie Zhu clawed frantically at his body, leaving scorching scratch marks in attempt to numb the pain, however this proved to be of no use. Moments later the pain once again multiplied as lava had seared his bone marrow and lightning thundered through his veins electrifying every fiber of his being.
During this process his once human bones had melted down into a malleable substance before reforming taking the shape of what appeared to be half human, half dragon. Elongated spikes jutted out from his elbows and shoulders, tearing through his skin, while his feet started to visibly expand, ripping off the surrounding flesh. Meanwhile, his tailbone lengthened, growing into a massive, metallic bony tail that extended 1.5 meters behind him, while on his back large demonic wings were slowly forming.
His face contorted as two horns erupted from his skull, and his jaw dislocated as razor-sharp teeth burst through his gums. If anyone were to witness this transformation, they would see a metallic skeletal wyvern covered in scraps of flesh and blood. It was a mystery how he was able to survive such a torturous process. He was on the brink of losing consciousness, but the immense life force within the three drops of Blood Essence kept him alive.
"AHHHHHHHH, AHHHHH" Tie Zhu yelled as sweat drenched his body, and his eyes were squeezed shut in agony as he struggled against the pain. His veins bulged, and his remaining muscles bulged as he fiercely fought through the transformation. The howls of pain that escaped his lips echoed through the forest, rattling the leaves of the trees and causing the animals to scatter in fear.
The pain was so immense that he almost thought that dying here would be a huge relief. 'NO!! I cant die here, if I pass out I won't be able to face my parents or take care of the people I care about!' He resolutely said to himself as his skeletal system continued to transform, however at a gradually slowing rate before finally coming to a halt after ten minutes of unimaginable suffering.
Without sparing Tie Zhu even five seconds of relief, Tie Zhu's body suddenly progressed to the next stage of transformation. His remaining skin and flesh that writhed and contorted, tearing apart as it coated his metallic bones evenly in a thin red paste. The muscle fibers slowly reached out to their surrounding neighbors before rapidly contracting again, stitching themselves up in the process forming fresh new muscles of unknown strength.
At the same time while this was all happening his penis had also undergone a change of its own! His glans that had once been a goose egg shaped bulb started contracting. Its girth decreased at the tip while it slightly increased in length, forming a shape reminiscent spear tip that was slightly curved upwards as if designed for penetration! At its tip it's diameter measured only 1 cm, however the base of the glans reached a diameter of 5 cm. Aside from the glans, his shaft also had significant changes. The muscles not only visibly bulged on his shaft giving it more definition but he also developed shallow ridges along the top and bottom in conjunction with his already ribbed behemoth! All in all, while his penis remained roughly the same size unerect a noticeable change had definitely occurred.
As the transformation took hold, his body convulsed with pain, veins bulging and muscles straining as Pure black Obsidian like scales erupted from within. The obsidian like material seemed to have a life of its own, covering every inch of his once human form. The air grew thick and heavy, as if the darkness was a tangible entity, smothering everything in its path.
His eyes, now glowing a fierce Golden- Purple glow that blazed with a fearsome light. The gold accents, which adorned his claws and horns, shone like beacons, calling out to all who would dare to cross his path.
"Huff, Huff, huff… Is it done now?" He thought in exhaustion while lying flat on the ground.
