Chapter 420: Chapter 182: The Six Great Clan Guardian Beasts!

A colossal thirty-five-zhang-tall humanoid battle body emitted an incredibly intense blood aura.

The scorching breath caused a hot airstream to swirl around hundreds of zhang in radius.

Shen Can stood quietly as beast patterns constantly shifted on his body.

Just a moment ago, he understood a lot.

The essence of cultivating a beast form still lies in cultivating a human form.

Using the Wild Beast method to cultivate the Human Race, the essence still needs to return to the Human Race.

The beast form should not be confined to the five beast forms; true cultivation of the human form can manifest the demeanor of myriad beasts, yet all transformations remain centered on the core.

This core is humanity.

Currently, the problem with the Human Race’s beastification is the failure to stabilize this ’core.’

At this moment, blood aura swirled around Shen Can, with his spine trembling like a dragon, emitting a fierce aura, suppressing the bones on his body, which flickered with beast patterns.

In the past, he hadn’t paid attention to the changes in his spine.

After all, since beast patterns had manifested on all his bones, it had long become a habit.

This time, Shen Can noticed the difference in his spine compared to other bones; the spine, like a main pillar supporting the entire body, had more resplendent and numerous beast patterns.

It was akin to the trunk of an old tree, thicker and more robust.

Shen Can had witnessed the transformation of the Little Dragon Fish, whose spine held the dragon marrow of a dragon.

In other words, it was the Little Dragon Fish’s dragon lineage.

Because of this dragon lineage, it could transform into a dragon.

At this moment, the marrow within his spine was as crystalline and pure as jade liquid, emanating vast vitality, continuously transmitting to every corner of his body.

Apart from the spine, the vitality in the other bones was comparatively lower, and the marrow within was slightly less.

In light of this, Shen Can had a conjecture.

Wild Beasts have a wild beast bloodline; the Human Race should likewise have a human race bloodline.

Just as Dragon Species Wild Beasts can devour other wild beasts, regardless of what kind of wild beast is consumed, it only becomes nourishment for transforming into a dragon form.

In that case, when the Human Race consumes wild beasts, it’s the same; consuming dragons or phoenixes, digesting them, and turning them into their nourishment, not fundamentally transforming into dragons or phoenixes.

This point of view can entirely serve as evidence for what he has just realized.

Shen Can stood quietly amid the scattered rocks, letting a day and night pass by like this.

The commotion he caused was not small; many clansmen swarmed over, quickly forming a guarded area around him, preventing others from approaching within a hundred li.

A day and night later.

The thirty-five-zhang tall battle body, now resembling a human form, reverted to Shen Can himself.

After changing into a new robe, Shen Can returned to the Ancestral Temple.

Back at the Ancestral Temple, he immediately recorded the crucial points of the sudden insights he had during his cultivation.

With his battle body having reached a seventy percent human state, initial evidence showed that the beastified state of the battle body could transform back into a human form.

They are all battle bodies; transforming from a beast form to a human form, to Shen Can, this is not just a change in form but also a transformation in self-command.

Perhaps, the issue with the Human Race’s beastification could gain some insight from this.

Subsequently, Shen Can transformed back into the battle body state, continuously shifting from beast form to human form, and then from human form to beast form.

In this transformation, the spine connected the skull to the tailbone, supporting the entire skeletal structure.

Within the bones, the dark-gold marrow was like jade liquid, becoming even more intensely hot when transformed into a battle body, like an erupting volcano.

That night, Shen Can sat down, and after calming his inner fluctuations, he began to extrapolate.

[You restart the extrapolation of the Desolate Beast Battle Body Secret Technique, using the sudden inspiration of ’placing humanity first,’ to perform subsequent extrapolation.

You attempt to continue transforming the seventy percent human race battle body state thoroughly into a human form.

Gradually, as time passes, you discover that during the transformation from beast form to human form, the previously developed beast patterns in your body appear incompatible with your own flesh and blood.

After years of cultivation, your body had long adapted to a part of the Desolate Beast state.

You spare no expense, forcibly advancing the human form battle body state.

After over three hundred years, you barely managed to push the seventy percent human race state to eighty percent, yet the beast patterns imprinted on your bones displayed resistance.

Within the vast vitality of the marrow ocean of the spine, resistance also emerged, suggesting that the vitality was no longer sufficient to support the transformation of the body.

You attempt to aid with blood aura, but still cannot stop the resistance of the beast patterns.

Gradually, your flesh began to tear, and your bones shifted.

You once again forcibly advance, attempting to shatter the resistance, yet feel resistance from the flesh and blood as well.

Through the years of cultivation, your flesh and blood had subconsciously established a connection with the beast form.

At this moment, from bones to flesh, the beast patterns had long merged into one, with every movement affecting the entire body.

You failed, with the flesh tearing and bones shattering.]

...

[You are not convinced, repeating the extrapolation process.]

[For over three thousand years, you repeatedly failed dozens of times; each time, your flesh was torn, and muscles and bones were completely broken.]

...

The next day, Shen Can sent a message to the clan land, asking Little Dragon Fish and Little Sparrow to come over.

Two days later, outside the Ancestral Temple, two heads peered in, and Little Dragon Fish peeked through the doorway at Shen Can.

"I’ve come, is it time to eat again?"

Before Little Dragon Fish could utter a second sentence, it began to howl, being grabbed by the tail and thrown out of the Ancestral Temple.

As Little Dragon Fish shouted twice, it discovered itself suddenly atop an enormous palm.

Before it, a face larger than its body stared at it.
