Chapter 520: Chapter 496: Golden Emperor’s Secret Manual

This was a beast that occupied the very top of the Ten Thousand Beasts Blood Pillar.

Its body was imposing, larger and more majestic than the other Twelfth-Level Calamity Beasts.

It was a being that truly stood at the apex of the Ten Thousand Beasts Blood Pillar. Among all the beasts, there were only six like it.

They occupied the highest and largest positions, looking down on all other Calamity Beasts, including their fellow Twelfth-Level Calamity Beasts.

This was a tiger-type Calamity Beast, its entire body covered in thick, scale-like fur that shimmered with a chilling aura.

Its body was imposing, its limbs thick and powerful, and its bulging muscles emanated wisps of Golden Light as sharp as blades.

Its head was broad, its fangs like blades, and its tiger eyes with their vertical pupils radiated a terrifying majesty.

The moment Lin Qi met those tiger eyes, it was as if he saw burning, crimson-gold flames.

In that instant, Lin Qi knew: This was the one.

’This Calamity Beast is larger than the other Twelfth-Level Calamity Beasts, so its strength is naturally among the greatest.’

’There are stronger and weaker ones even among Twelfth-Level Calamity Beasts.’

’And the beast I’m seeing is one of the strongest among them.’

’There are only six of these top-level beings, and this is one of them.’

HUUU...

Staring at the beast, Lin Qi let out a breath, his gaze hardening. His intuition was telling him.

’This is it! This is the Twelfth-Level Calamity Beast that’s the perfect match for me!’

At that thought, Lin Qi hesitated no longer and immediately sat down cross-legged.

His gaze locked onto the Calamity Beast, and he began to observe it closely.

HUMMMMM!!

He looked up at the giant golden tiger; it was like a transmuted form of the Platinum Evil Tiger, as if it had evolved three times over.

Golden Light burst from Lin Qi’s eyes as he quickly activated Golden Eyes.

HUMMMMM!!

In an instant, the entire world became clearer in his eyes.

Everything before him magnified: the flow of Energy, the vast number of Source Energy Particles.

The most crucial thing was the giant tiger before him. It was carved entirely from a blood-red gemstone.

In an instant, the pillar became exceptionally clear in his eyes. The entire carving seemed to be condensed from countless drops of blood.

It emanated a peculiar energy fluctuation, and each Calamity Beast had a completely unique one.

Now, with his Spiritual Power highly focused and his Perception operating at full capacity, the giant tiger’s aura also became completely different.

He looked at the huge carving, its body covered in a multitude of arcane patterns.

They covered every inch of it. They were not words and were impossible to comprehend.

Lin Qi, too, could not understand them. He looked at the patterns and could only sense that they contained a vast amount of information.

’It will take time to comprehend it all.’

The carving of the giant tiger took up several meters of space. He started from the head, examining every single pattern.

He tried to understand them, to comprehend a High-Level Source Energy Technique from them.

He opened the box and consumed another drop of the Platinum Evil Tiger’s blood.

He lost himself in the process, losing all sense of time.

He didn’t know how much time had passed before his eyes began to ache. Tears blurred his vision, and he had no choice but to deactivate Golden Eyes.

He closed his eyes; they were incredibly fatigued.

He couldn’t help but rub his eyes. ’The drain from Golden Eyes is too great.’

He took out his phone to check the time. It was already midnight.

’Have I been cultivating for this long without even realizing it?’

Lin Qi stood up. The Ten Thousand Beasts Blood Pillar was still as bright as day, and the crowd around him had thinned.

Only a handful of people remained, still focused on observing the Ten Thousand Beasts Blood Pillar.

Lin Qi turned and left without hesitation.

’The drain from Golden Eyes is too great. I need to rest, and I also need to prepare a potion to soothe my tired eyes.’

...

「The next day. Ten Thousand Beasts House, Room 305.」

At 7:00 AM, Lin Qi sat at a large dining table, eating breakfast. Afterward, he placed two drops of Platinum Evil Tiger blood into a small box, put a bottle of Soul Water in his robe pocket, and headed out.

His eyes still felt a little sore, but it didn’t affect his use of Golden Eyes.

He passed through security and, once cleared, entered the hall of the Ten Thousand Beasts Blood Pillar.

He took a meditation cushion from a robot, hopped down the steps, and was surprised to find that quite a few people had already arrived.

He himself had woken up at 4:00 AM and had cultivated Source Energy for nearly three hours before coming over.

’These people probably didn’t cultivate at all and came straight here to comprehend the Ten Thousand Beasts Blood Pillar, unwilling to waste a single moment.’

"Two years! I’ve finally succeeded!!"

"HAHAHA!!"

A Black man not far away suddenly shot to his feet, roaring with excitement.

A powerful wave of Energy emanated from him as his Special Ability flared to life.

It was a sign of successful cultivation.

He was speaking English, so Lin Qi could understand him.

’Two years?’

’It took him two years to succeed? Is it really that difficult?’

Lin Qi was puzzled, but he also admired the man’s willpower for persevering for two whole years.

Many people looked at the Black man with envy.

Not all geniuses could succeed in their cultivation. Many who couldn’t comprehend it within a year would probably choose to give up.

Because every additional month cost a fortune, and there was no guarantee they could endure.

He set down his cushion, sat cross-legged, and continued to observe the giant golden tiger.

HUMMMMM!!

Golden Light burst from his eyes, and golden patterns appeared in his pupils. Golden Eyes activated!

The giant golden tiger magnified in his eyes as the arcane patterns gradually emerged.

’It’s even clearer!’

Lin Qi sensed a change. His vision with Golden Eyes was much sharper than it had been yesterday.

’Does it get stronger the longer I use it?’ he wondered, making a mental note. If he kept observing like this for a few months, he might be able to improve the ability significantly.
