He had been so angry at the donkey for eating the corpse that he hadn't looked closely at the arm. Now that he was close, he immediately noticed that the remaining half of the arm wasn't made of flesh and blood!
It was made of … some kind of crystal!
This discovery immediately surprised Wang Baole. After letting go of the donkey, he squatted down to take a closer look. He confirmed that among the three heads and six arms of the Never-Ending Clan member, only one arm was made of crystal. The rest were still made of flesh and blood.
This made Wang Baole a little confused. He took out the corpse he had obtained from the golden beetle from his storage bracelet and compared it. He found that the corpse in the golden beetle had three heads and six arms, all of which were made of flesh and blood. He even recalled that all the corpses he had seen before were made of flesh and blood. Only the corpse that the donkey had eaten was different.
It gave him the feeling that the half-eaten arm was made of some kind of energy. When the Never-Ending Clan member died, it didn't dissipate but turned into a crystal!
After some thought, Wang Baole decided to put the corpse away and turned to glare at the donkey. Even though he knew that he had misunderstood the donkey, as its father, he was right even if he was wrong!
The donkey felt a little wronged, but it was really afraid of Wang Baole. At that moment, it hung its head and looked like it was admitting its mistake. Only then did Wang Baole's expression soften a little. He snorted and left the place, returning to Green Fire Island.
The donkey followed behind with a dejected look on its face. It didn't dare to run around after returning to the island. Instead, it lay in the cave abode and stared at Wang Baole pitifully and innocently.
In the end, Wang Baole was a little embarrassed. Hence, he stared at the donkey with a stern expression and threw one of his nine remaining snacks to it.
"Alright, eat it. After you're done, go out and take a walk. Remember not to leave Green Fire Island."
The donkey looked at the snack that was giving off a strange smell, and its body stiffened. In the end, it swallowed it with a long face, and then had no choice but to put on an intoxicated expression and leave quickly.
After the donkey left, Wang Baole coughed and calmed himself down. He took out the two Never-Ending Clan corpses from his storage bracelet and placed them in front of him for comparison. At the same time, he recalled the information he had read in the Underworld Sect. However, back then, he had focused on the Underworld Sect's cultivation techniques. He didn't know much about the Never-Ending Clan.
Therefore, after looking at it for a while, he gradually found some differences.
First of all, the clothes. Although they were tattered, it was obvious that the arm of the corpse was made of crystallized material. Not only was the cloth resistant to decay, it also seemed to be exquisite, unlike the corpse in the beetle, which was wearing armor.
In addition, the bodies of the two corpses were different. The former could be described as slender, while the latter was obviously muscular. All of this gave Wang Baole a vague feeling that … the former was a scholar, while the latter was a warrior!
"That's not right …" Wang Baole shook his head and called out to Little Missy in his mind. This time, Little Missy woke up and responded to Wang Baole's call.
"This is such a simple matter. How can you not understand it?" Little Missy said calmly, her tone carrying a sense of superiority in terms of intelligence. She said disdainfully.
"Regarding the Never-Ending Clan, I once caught some when I was seven years old. After studying them, I discovered that ordinary members of the Never-Ending Clan, from birth to death, have three heads and six arms. Only the royal family … after undergoing some special cultivation, can transform their three heads and six arms into energy!"
"One head and one arm is considered a level. After being transformed into energy, they are comparable to a Planet realm cultivator. Two heads and two arms are equivalent to the Star realm. If all three heads and six arms are transformed into energy forms, they are Star Domain realm mighty figures!
"The corpse in front of you has one arm transformed into energy, and one head is in the process of transformation. He should have been at the Spirit Immortal realm when he was alive. Once his head is completely transformed into energy, he can break through the Spirit Immortal realm and step into the Planet realm!"
After explaining to Wang Baole, Little Missy seemed to be very satisfied with her answer. After hearing this, Wang Baole's mind suddenly became clear. However, slowly, his eyes gradually revealed a strange light.
"Transforming an arm into energy … This cultivation method is a little familiar …" Wang Baole muttered to himself as he carefully observed the corpse with an energy-transformed arm. After a while, his breathing suddenly quickened.
"The cultivation of Thearch Armor is about forming another armor that looks like a physical body outside the body … To a certain extent, isn't this similar to transforming into energy?! However, the Never-Ending Clan royal family changes their bodies, while Thearch Armor is formed outside the body! " Wang Baole's thoughts churned, and the light in his eyes became more and more intense. He vaguely felt that he had grasped a key point.
A key point that could allow him to cultivate Thearch Armor!
At that thought, Wang Baole immediately waved his hand and took out a flying sword. His eyes lit up, and he used the flying sword to make a cut on the Never-Ending Clan member corpse … He planned to dissect the corpse's internal structure and find its meridians to find the reason why the arm was transformed into energy!
As he dissected and researched, time passed again. Wang Baole had already forgotten to eat and sleep. He even got the donkey to go under the sea of fire and find a few corpses with energy-transformed arms. Finally, after a month, after dissecting seven or eight similar corpses, although he still didn't understand much about the Never-Ending Clan's cultivation method, he found a clue about how to transform an arm into energy!
That was … to form a meridian in the body that was formed by spirit power!
Just this clue alone was enough to make Wang Baole excited. He had a new idea about the Thearch Armor legacy.
"Perhaps there are other ways to cultivate Monarch Armor, but my train of thought … should be one of them. That is … to connect every single meridian in my body with spiritual energy, so that they can come out of my body and form a circulation outside my body!"
"It's as if … my body has become a seed. To a certain extent, it's like spreading out all my meridians and reshaping them outside the body!" Wang Baole muttered to himself. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible. However, the only thing that made him hesitate was that his cultivation method seemed the same as the Thearch Armor legacy, but there were differences.
The Thearch Armor legacy would eventually form a human armor. While it was filled with domineering aura, it could increase one's strength by many times, like a magnifying glass. And the source of this increase was actually the accumulation of spirit power within the Thearch Armor.
Thearch Armor could be seen as a new physical body. Regardless of whether it was absorbing or cultivating, it would be much faster. To a certain extent, it was like the hump of a camel. With the continuous accumulation of cultivation, it would feed back to the main body, resulting in an increase in strength.
No matter what, the Thearch Armor that was cultivated was considered a part of the body. Although it could be retracted and released freely, it was inseparable.
However … if Wang Baole cultivated Thearch Armor with his current method, it would be different. He would connect his meridians and let them spread out of the body to form a circulation outside the body. Even the bones in the next step would have to follow this method. However, in reality, it was connecting the meridians and the connection with the body wasn't that inseparable. To put it simply, Wang Baole was refining a treasure outside his body!
The disadvantage was that it wasn't inseparable. Hence, it wasn't a part of the body and could only be considered an external object. Hence, regardless of whether it was the accumulation of spirit power or the increase in strength, it was far inferior to the former method.
However, the advantage was that this method was simpler and clearer. As long as the first problem was solved, its power and cultivation speed would be much faster than the former method.
It could be said that between the two methods of cultivation, one was good and the other was … evil!
Because … if he wanted to solve the problem of accumulation and increase in strength, there had to be a method that could allow him to accumulate large amounts of spirit power without cultivating!
Wang Baole also had an idea about this method, and that was … the incomplete method that was second only to the legacy of Thearch Armor … Flame Snatch!
This method was perverse. It would kill and steal all the spirit power of the opponent. However, if the cultivator couldn't control it, he would definitely lose his mind and fall into madness. This was because as the cultivator killed, too much spirit power that didn't fuse with the body would be absorbed, and it would be difficult for the body to withstand the chaos.
However … if the Thearch Armor that spread out of the body was used as a medium to accumulate and contain the spirit power that surged out from the slaughter, everything would be solved. The more he killed, the stronger he became. There was almost no limit to it!
However … Wang Baole didn't know if if he really decided to cultivate this method, his Thearch Armor would one day turn into … a demonic armor that would fill the sky and shake the heavens as he killed!
In the silence, his eyes were filled with determination. He had already made up his mind and he murmured softly.
"Bear all the Karma of my slaughter, huh … Alright!"
