118: Devour the Titan's Heart! The opportunity to advance to the second job advancement!

Savage Domain edge, ruins of an ancient battlefield.

This was a land cursed by gods, the air filled with an unceasing scent of decay and the lingering, murderous aura of ancient battles.

Shattered battle flags turned to ash in the cold wind, while the dark red earth buried layers upon layers of bleached bones belonging to unknown powerhouses. With every step, one could seemingly hear the unwilling roars rising from beneath the ground.

The spatial rifts here were extremely unstable, and the turbulent Spiritual Qi formed a natural, invisible barrier. Like a rampaging beast, it was so fierce that even the Divine Sense of a Soul Transformation Stage powerhouse could barely probe within.

"Boom!"

A stream of dark gold light crashed into the pile of rubble with a sonic boom, the resulting shockwave instantly clearing dust for a hundred meters around.

Gu Yang put down Er Gou from his shoulder, his eyes burning with greed as he stared at the heavy iron box beneath his feet.

His chest heaved violently, his breathing as heavy as an ox's, each breath exhaling scorching white smoke.

After his all-out burst, the dark gold luster on his skin appeared even more restrained and profound, every inch of his muscles trembling slightly—a sign of extreme excitement.

Although the Physical Body of the Divine Demon Golden Body First Turn (Early Soul Transformation Stage) could run rampant in the Starfall Sea, in this plane where the Laws of Heaven and Earth were as heavy as chains, every use of Extreme Dao Burst Step placed an immense load on his muscle fibers.

"Er Gou, keep watch. Anyone who dares to approach, bite them to death."

Gu Yang gave the casual order, then focused all his attention on the iron box.

The surface of the iron box was covered in dense defensive Restrictions from the Beast Taming Sect. Sensing the aggressive aura of an outsider, it instantly lit up with blinding blood-red light, emitting a series of piercing warning sounds.

If it were an ordinary Spell Cultivator, they might need to take out a compass to deduce the Formation eye and carefully dismantle it. But in Gu Yang's eyes, all Formations were merely an orderly stacking of energy; as long as the power was sufficient, any order was just waste paper.

"Open!"

Gu Yang didn't look for any locks or weak points. Instead, he pressed his five fingers together into a palm blade. Beneath his dark gold skin, muscles intertwined like steel cables, erupting with a pure, destructive force.

He thrust his hand forward, his palm blade ignoring the frantic backlash of the Formation Restrictions, and with a "puchi" sound, it pierced directly into the solid box body made of sunken silver, which was an inch thick.

Sunken silver was known for its resistance to Spells, but in the face of Gu Yang's unreasonable, monstrous strength, it was as fragile as rotten wood.

Immediately after, the muscles in his arms bulged like two writhing dragons, and he tore them apart with a violent force.

"Creak—"

The teeth-aching sound of metal tearing echoed throughout the deathly silent ruins.

In the face of that terrifying, monstrous strength, the sunken silver iron box, which could withstand multiple bombardments from top-tier Magic Treasures, was violently dismantled like a cheap paper box, revealing its true appearance inside.

In that instant, a golden radiance, rich to the point of becoming substantial and heavy as liquid mercury, erupted outward, illuminating the surrounding ruins for dozens of meters as if it were daylight, causing even the ancient, broken walls to tremble under the light.

It was a giant heart, the size of a millstone, as if cast from gold.

Although it had lost its vitality due to the passage of long ages, dark red Titan True Blood, thick like mercury, still flowed slowly through the blood vessel patterns on the surface of the heart.

Every few breaths, this heart would defy logic and pulse slightly. Each tremor triggered visible spatial ripples, as if telling of the unyielding will of the ancient titan that could shake the stars.

"Such rich Origin power... This is what a real man should eat!"

Every cell in Gu Yang's body cheered. That primitive, greedy hunger from the depths of his genes surged like a mountain and sea, instantly drowning his reason.

He didn't hesitate in the slightest, nor did he perform any incense-burning or bathing purification rituals.

Gu Yang reached out his large hand, covered in dark gold patterns, and clamped it onto the half-heart of gold. Before Er Gou's stunned eyes, he opened his mouth wide and bit down hard on the very center of the heart, where the blood gathered!

"Slurp—"

A stream of Divine Power blood, as hot and heavy as magma from the earth's core, poured crazily down his throat into his body.

"Boom!!!"

In that instant, Gu Yang felt as if a miniature nuclear bomb had detonated within him. The Origin of Power, violent to the extreme, exploded within his internal organs.

The Meridians of his Divine Demon Golden Body First Turn, originally as tough as divine iron, developed web-like cracks under the impact of that primitive power, and golden blood began to seep out through his pores.

This was the suppression of life levels across species, the angry counterattack of the ancient giants against a tiny human attempting to usurp their Divine Power.

"Give me... melt!"

Gu Yang's muscles surged, his stature growing several inches in an instant, and the veins on his forehead bulged like writhing dragons. He forced himself to sit cross-legged. The core hub within him—the Five Elements Great Millstone—emitted a sharp roar like a grinder cutting metal, beginning to rotate madly, forcibly grinding and converting the raging energy pouring in.

The golden heart, originally the size of a millstone, was consumed raw and cold by Gu Yang's unreasonable method, turning into streams of highly condensed golden light that drilled crazily into his limbs and bones through his mouth, nose, and pores.

His skin began to take on an eerie, near-transparent crimson color—a sign that his body temperature had reached its limit. Before sweat could even flow out, it was instantly evaporated by the high temperature on his skin into a thick white mist, enveloping him entirely.

In his internal vision, the values on the System panel were jumping madly at a frequency hard to discern with the naked eye, like a broken gauge:

【Detected fragment of the titan's soul, forcibly parsing...】 【energy points +100000...+500000...】 【Divine Demon Golden Body advancement: 15%...40%...85%...】

"Crack, crack."

A series of crisp and dense bone-cracking sounds echoed through the ruins.

It was Gu Yang's original bones, undergoing cruel destruction and restructuring under the repeated scouring of the Origin of the titan.

His originally dark gold bone marrow, after absorbing the Titan True Blood, was now faintly stained with a noble and sacred pure gold luster. Every inch of bone was forcibly widened, and every muscle fiber was re-woven by that dragon-elephant-like power, its density increasing several times over in an instant.

In the air behind Gu Yang, a phantom of a golden giant that reached the heavens and earth flashed and vanished. The face of that phantom was not someone else, but Gu Yang himself!

Only in the center of the phantom's forehead was there an additional mysterious, ancient dark gold demonic pattern filled with a tyrannical aura.

I don't know how much time passed, but the violent aura around Gu Yang gradually receded, and the originally boiling air returned to calm.

When he slowly opened his eyes again, two condensed, solid dark gold divine lights shot out from his pupils, piercing the long sky and instantly blasting a sturdy stone pillar that had stood for ten thousand years into powder.

He stood up slowly and casually moved his wrists.

"Pop! Pop!"

Crisp sounds like glass breaking came from the surrounding air. Because his Physical Body density was too high and his power too strong, his every movement was pressing against the spatial barrier, triggering minor spatial collapses.

【Divine Demon Golden Body Second Turn (equivalent to Spell Cultivator Soul Transformation Middle Stage), advancement complete!】

"Is this the power of the Second Turn? It feels... like this world has become much more fragile."

Gu Yang clenched his fists, feeling the barbaric sensation within him that seemed capable of piercing the mantle and blowing up an asteroid with one punch. A ferocious and confident curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Now, if he were to meet that so-called Giant Clan Young Lord Towering Mountain again, he wouldn't need any exchange of blows. A casual wave of Qi would be enough to fan his boasted "True Body of the Giant" directly into a sky full of blood mist.

"Awoo?"

Er Gou approached, curiously sniffing the terrifying aura emanating from Gu Yang.

Just now, due to close contact with the massive energy radiating from the heart of the titan, a few dark red bristles that pulsed like flames had grown among Er Gou's messy black fur. Its size had also faintly expanded, and its eyes revealed a primitive and fierce, ancient aura.

Gu Yang touched Er Gou's head. The feeling was no longer soft fur, but like touching hard steel needles.

He turned his head to look in the direction of Cloud City, a tangible killing intent flashing deep in his eyes. The surrounding rubble exploded under his gaze.

"I've eaten my fill, someone has to pay the bill."

"Hiding over there for so long, watching the show for so long, aren't you tired?"

Before the words faded, the originally stable space around the ruins suddenly twisted violently. Several old figures exuding powerful Law fluctuations and cold gazes, accompanied by the roaring sounds of Spells, slowly appeared from the Void Realm.
