After Ye Xiao arrived at the First floor of the Nine Story Pagoda, he sat down cross-legged and started circulating the First Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique.

The moment he started circulating his cultivation technique, the speed at which the crack was spreading on the dragon-shaped core, increased suddenly. Not long after, the dragon-shaped core was filled with cracks and was about to explode.

"BOOM!"

The dragon-shaped core exploded and the strange energy that came out from it did not rampage inside his body instead it took the form of a dragon.

"Crap, this feeling!" However, just as Ye Xiao felt elated, his complexion suddenly changed greatly. An unprecedented fear emerged in his eyes.

Ye Xiao discovered with astonishment that when the dragon-shaped core exploded, and the strange energy within it took the form of a dragon, it had surged out of his dantian, rapidly moving about in his body.

The energy dragon, as it surged within his body, didn't meld into his blood at all and give a feeling of union. Instead, it wanted to rush out of his body. It wanted to break out, and leave the shackles of Ye Xiao's physical body.

How could Ye Xiao remain calm?

Right now, the energy dragon wanted to break out and leave Ye Xiao's body. He didn't know if that was fortune or disaster, something of joy or of sorrow.

However, what was fated to happen would happen eventually. It was something that Ye Xiao could not stop, nor change. And for the energy dragon in Ye Xiao's body, he could not control them either.

Roar!

Finally, from Ye Xiao's body, a burst of energy surged out, pierced through all nine floors of the Nine Story Pagoda, and went straight into the sky with a dragon's roar.

"Roar!"

Ye Xiao was stunned when he saw this. Before he could understand what was happening, the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon also flew out from his sea of consciousness and flew straight into the sky.

"What is happening? How could the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon come out from my sea of consciousness on its own?"

Ye Xiao could not help but feel puzzled at this moment. Be it the energy dragon or the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon, both of them flew out from his body straight into the sky.

He could not understand the reason why?

And what was surprising that he could actually see what was happening in the sky while he was still sitting cross-legged on the First Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda. It was as if he gained the ability to see through all the layers of Nine Story Pagoda easily.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

In the sky, the energy dragon and the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon, both roared at once and with an extremely fast speed flew toward Ye Xiao.

"What?"

"BOOM!"Before Ye Xiao could react, both dragons collided with him and an explosion rang out on the entire First Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda.

"Ahhh!"

Ye Xiao started to scream in pain as both dragons actually started to merge with his flesh, bones, and blood. He was feeling so much pain that he wished to die at this moment.

p He wanted to faint but the process of becoming one with the both energy dragon and the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon was so painful that it didn't let Ye Xiao faint.

He felt every part of his body tearing apart and then recovering. It was as if someone was peeling off his skins with a sharp knife while he was still conscious.

"Ahhh!"

Ye Xiao continues to groan in pain. He could no longer continue to stay sitting down cross-legged. He started to scream loudly as he lied down on the ground and moved here and there.

"Ahhh!"

Ye Xiao was screaming in pain and agony. He was feeling like his whole body was about to be ripped apart. Violent spasms went through him. He had never once imagined that this was how extreme pain would feel like. It was truly utter misery, where one could neither live nor die!

While he was being assaulted by great pain, Ye Xiao wasn't aware that his body was currently undergoing a miraculous change. Everything in his body, be it his bones, meridians, skin, or blood, was going through changes that ordinary people would find hard to even imagine!

Every single cell!

Every inch of his blood and flesh!

Every single bone!

All of them were being reborn at this moment!

In his dazed state, an earth-shattering roar resounded. An image of the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon covered from head to toe in black scales with a very different but beautiful golden pattern carved on it, floated in the air behind Ye Xiao. It roared into the heavens as it flapped its wings!

Splurt!

Splurt!

In the instant that the image of the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon appeared behind Ye Xiao's back, he felt as if countless sharp blades started to pierce through his flesh as a strange sound rang out, and thousands of black scales with beautiful golden pattern which are now covered in bloodstains began to pop up one by one on the surface of Ye Xiao's body!

On both of his arms and both of his legs!

On his chest and his abdomen!

On his back and his buttocks!In the blink of an eye, the black-golden scales had spread and covered every part of Ye Xiao's body, making him look as though a monster covered in scales!

However, it wasn't over yet!

Splurt!

Yet another soft pop rang out. Behind him, a long, thick, and muscular dragon tail grew from where his buttocks were. That dragon tail was also covered in blood. It looked evil and sinister and reeked of blood!

At the same time, two bamboo shoot-like objects also grew from his forehead. They were sharp-tipped, seeming as if they were going to pierce through the heavens! This pair of horn was also black-golden in colour.

These were a pair of dragon horns.

Black-golden dragon scales, black-golden dragon horns, and a dragon tail!

No matter how one looked at Ye Xiao, they can not tell that he was actually a human. He looked like a dragon-person right now.

The changes finally came to a halt at this point.

Sweat and blood covered the ground. It was as though Ye Xiao was lying in a pool of blood. At this moment, ye Xiao didn't even feel like lifting a finger at all!

It hurt!

It hurt too much!

He felt as if he had gone to hell and back!

Suddenly, Ye Xiao transformed back to normal. All the scales, horn, and tail disappeared as if it was never there.

"Roar!"

Ye Xiao suddenly stood up. If one looked in Ye Xiao's eyes at this moment, they will notice that his eyes were dull, without any brightness in them. It was as if he subconsciously stood up and he himself did not know about it.

Suddenly a huge wave of wind appeared out of nowhere and Ye Xiao's entire body transformed into that of a dragon. This time, he does not look like a dragon-person, but a real dragon.

What he transformed into was exactly the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon. But compare to the real Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon, he was still far from being that imposing and domineering!

Ye Xiao did not remain in the dragon's form for much longer as he once again transformed back to his real appearance.

No one knew how long this process continued. Ye Xiao finally felt that the pain that almost killed him finally started to calm down.

After almost half a day, he finally did not felt that terrifying pain. Even though he did not feel pain at this moment, he continues to lie down on the ground. He was gasping for air and panting heavily!

After one hour of rest, he finally sat down once again and looked at his body. He did not feel any changes from before.

He sat down cross-legged once again and started to absorb the spirit energy from the air. He felt that the absorption speed was at least ten times greater than before. Even if Ye Xiao fought a powerful enemy again, he would not have to worry about running out of spirit energy like before.

Back when he had been overcoming the Heavenly Tribulation, it was precise because the consumption had been too great that he had run out of spirit energy, making it so he was unable to continue fighting.

Slowly closing his eyes and examining his body, he suddenly shook and went crazy with joy. He had never been this excited before.

A few new pieces of information appeared in his mind. Now not only Ye Xiao can grow out a pair of wings and transform his hands into dragon's claws, but he can also transform his entire body into that of the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon's body.
