"Rainbow Beast Core?!" Wang Yazhu gasped in disbelief, turning his gaze back to the core to make sure he was not mistaken. He was completely shocked, as the colors of a beast core indicated the elemental affinity of the creature. For example, a red core indicated a fire type, while a blue indicated a water affinity. On rare occasions, some beast cores would display multiple colors, indicating multiple elemental affinities, however multi colored cores almost never exceeded four colors. The only exception was the Primordial Dragon God, who was at the apex of Ascended gods and had mastered five elements. However, Tie Zhu's beast core was a rainbow of colors, representing all the elements, including time and space.
"How is this even possible!" Wang Yazhu thought in shock. In fact, If it were known that there was such a beast core even in the heavenly plains, Ascended gods would not even hesitate before going to war over it, given that it reached a high enough grade.

Despite trying his hardest to direct the boundless spiritual energy towards his Dantian, Tie Zhu remained unsuccessful. The head splitting pain made it too hard for him to focus and channel the Essence efficiently, making the stream dissipate before it managed to collide against the barrier. Just as Tie Zhu's vison started fading he immediately heard a voice in his head.
"Stop trying to direct the Spirit Essence into your Dantian, instead direct it towards your head, where you are feeling pain. Your body is developing a Beast Core and it desperately needs the Spiritual Essence to develop!" Wang Yazhu replied urgently, only because he knew that if Tie Zhu died he would too.
Although Tie Zhu did not completely trust Wang Yazhu as he had just tried to kill him, he had no other choice but to follow his instructions. Immediately he stopped trying to make the Qi flow to his Dantian, and instead directed the flow towards his head. Although the process was still difficult due to the immense pain, he somehow found it much easier to control, as if the Qi was already naturally flowing in that direction.
What surprised Tie Zhu however was that as the Spiritual Essence flowed towards his head, there was no resistance at all, instead there was something that greedily absorbed all the Qi Tie Zhu directed there as if it were an endless black hole. As Tie Zhu continued to channel the excess Spiritual Essence towards that direction, he noticed that the pressure on his body had lessened to the point that he didn't feel like he was on the verge of exploding as his body slowly returned to its previous size. Although the pressure on his body was now gone, the pain in his head intensified as the Beast core was slowly expanding, giving off an intense aura.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Ten minutes passed by, and eventually the excess spirit essence in his body had been used up. However, despite having no more excess Qi to supply itself, the sucking force coming from the beast core did not stop! It continued to suck the Spiritual Essence forcibly from the land itself, with its suction power greatly exceeding that of the spirit bottle!
Torrents of Spiritual Essence was siphoned greedily in all directions, including the ground, lake and even the sky. The unnaturally menacing thunderclouds had even fell victim to the beast core as in moments it had been swallowed up as if they had never been there. With this huge wave of spiritual essence all being directed towards his body, he once again felt a horrible pressure weighing down on his body. Extremely dense Qi once again flooded his meridian channels, however this time the Spirit Essence was actually transforming into elemental threads within his meridians, all interlocking to form intense colorful channels that were visible from outside his body!
However, these elemental threads although beautiful were causing him unimaginable pain as they flowed through him. Parts of his body felt as if they were being seared to their ashes, while other parts felt like they were being frozen. Paralyzing shocks flowed throughout his entire body as immense pressure caused his body to feel like it was being crushed making him drift on a fine line on the edge of unconsciousness. It was as if all the elements themselves were trying to destroy him. All he could do was to maintain the last bit of his consciousness as he desperately directed these intense threads to his beast core.
"THUMP…THUMP…..THUMP…..BOOOOOM"
Just as over half of the elemental threads flowed to his beast core it had finally gone through a transformation. The beast core had finally developed into the size of a Qi Gathering Beast Core, generating a huge shockwave that spread in all directions with Tie Zhu being at the epicenter.
!
"ROOOAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" Tie Zhu bellowed, his eye pupils dilating into elongated slits, reflecting the brutal transformation he was undergoing. The dragon's blood essence was fueling his being, with its raw power seeping into his veins and threatening to overwhelm him. Strong negative emotions of hate, greed, and lust consumed him, as if the dragon's blood was unwilling to submit to a mere mortal. With his mind already weakened by the unbearable pain, Tie Zhu found himself succumbing to these emotions, letting them take control of his thoughts and actions. The transformation was rapidly progressing, with his human self being consumed by the dragon's primal desires.
"STOP! TRY TO GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF, IF YOU LOSE CONTROL OVER YOUR EMOTIONS NOW YOU MIGHT NEVER GET THEM BACK!" Wang Yazhu yelled as he noticed that Tie Zhu was slowly losing control.
"SHUT UP!" Tie Zhu cried, instinctively sealing off Wang Yazhu's spirit within his Dantian completely blocking off any chance Wang Yazhu had with communicating with the outside world.
'What! How did he already know how to seal me off?!' Wang Yazhu immediately exclaimed as he immediately lost his entire sense of the outside world.
Just as the emotionally unstable Tie Zhu was about to absorb the remaining elemental threads within his body he noticed something. A faint alluring fragrance from off in the distance. Turning his head to look in that direction he noticed that there was a woman there. She was sitting down in a crossed legged position trying to cultivate the vast amounts of spirit essence that was supposed to be his! She was blatantly stealing from him!
However… She was also a beauty.
