I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

The Old Profound Turtle that emerged from the underground suddenly expanded its body to nearly eighty zhang in size.

Spiritual ban surged on the turtle shell, forming a prototype similar to a ’Witch Array’. Nine irregular areas could be seen on the turtle shell.

Inside the Old Profound Turtle’s body, starlight points scattered, constructing a sparse ocean of stars.

Each of these star points emitted thousands of rays, piercing into the Old Turtle’s flesh, altering its original aura.

The sudden emergence of the Old Profound Turtle naturally drew the attention of the clan members. It attempted to change its shape, wishing to exhibit the ’Beast Form Heaven and Earth’ commonly used by Tier Four Wild Beasts, trying to shrink itself to palm size.

However, after several attempts, aside from the continuous flickering spiritual light on the turtle shell, its gigantic body did not decrease at all.

Whenever ’Beast Form Heaven and Earth’ was cast, the flickering starlight points inside its body would light up to prevent it’s movement.

"Can’t shrink anymore."

Finally, the Old Profound Turtle resigned itself to fate; it would have to meet others like this from now on.

It lifted its foot to take a step, but as soon as it raised its leg, there was a thunderous sound, and its entire body suddenly shook, its limbs softened, and it toppled onto the ground.

"Stay still."

Shen Can arrived from afar, sending a message to the Old Turtle.

His Divine Sense swept over the Old Turtle, detecting a star map constructed by the starlight points inside its body, equivalent to forcibly expanding its body.

Moreover, its flesh and bones had not adapted to the change.

At this moment, the Old Turtle’s body was already stretched to its limit, and if the star map enlarged further, the Old Turtle would be torn apart.

The starlight points arrayed in the Old Turtle’s body formed a star map and developed an enigmatic connection with the patterns on the turtle shell.

"Your body expanded suddenly, and the original flesh and skeleton couldn’t keep pace with this change."

Soon, at the spot where the Old Turtle lay, saplings appeared on the ground, then grew into hundred-zhang tall trees at a visible speed.

The dense branches interwove to form a massive canopy, concealing the Old Turtle.

The clan members steered the Flying Ship over, filled with Osmanthus Fruit, Heaven-Riding Beast Blood Marrow, Source Stone, Holy Envoy Race skeletons, and the Old Ape Beast flesh with Changyou Bloodline, all delivered before the Old Turtle.

For the Old Turtle, there was nothing else to do next but eat.

"This one."

The Old Turtle opened its mouth, and the clan’s Flying Ship tilted, pouring half its cargo of Source Stone straight into its mouth.

The Source Stone inside the Old Turtle rapidly transformed into pure energy, flowing like streams into its viscera, flesh, and corners.

Inside it, like a land cracked open after a millennium of dryness encountering a filling rain, it devoured energy madly.

After consuming various resources, the quantity of Heaven-Riding Beast Blood Marrow delivered was reduced, replaced by doubling the Osmanthus Fruit grown from the Blood Marrow.

Although the fruits were only Tier Three, once inside the Old Turtle, they increased the affinity between starlight points and the Old Turtle’s flesh.

Conversely, Heaven-Riding Beast Blood Marrow, although having similar effects, released a violent aura with each piece of flesh, and overconsumption posed additional risks.

Seeing that the Old Turtle could absorb regular Source Stones and beast meat as energy, Shen Can felt at ease.

The transformed Old Turtle, despite undergoing changes akin to Heaven-Riding Beast, did not perfectly integrate the starlight points within its body.

This resulted in the Old Turtle possessing traits of both Starry Sky Wild Beasts and Great Wilderness Wild Beasts.

Also, its appetite was genuinely enormous—a Peak Divine Treasure Old Ape Beast and ten thousand Source Stones went down with not even a burp.

Previously, consuming a Peak Divine Treasure Wild Beast would not only fail to upgrade its realm, but its pores would have already opened due to blazing energy, exuding pure vitality.

Now, all digested.

It’s no wonder Heaven-Riding Beasts at Tier Four can roam the canopy; they are profoundly rich in resources.

Regardless of being in the same realm, a Human Race Tier Four’s attacks on a Heaven-Riding Beast of hundred-li size at Tier Four are merely scratching unless targeted at its brain or vital organs.

The Old Turtle opened its mouth, letting the clan feed it, accepting quantities of Source Stone and beast meat, all converted into energy flooding into every corner of its body.

This feast lasted a day and a night; aside from Source Stone and Witch Medicine, the clan also brewed large amounts of meat broth, pouring it all into the Old Turtle’s mouth.

BOOM!

As the Old Turtle stood up again, the ground trembled fiercely, throwing nearby clan members boiling meat off balance.

The Old Turtle shook its head, somewhat embarrassed; its enlarged body still needed some time to adjust.

BOOM!

As the Old Turtle adapted to standing, Shen Can raised his hand, sending energy toward the turtle shell.

With a roar, the patterns on the turtle shell lit in a chaotic manner, the energy split into numerous sections on the shell, causing the Old Turtle’s body to shake violently again.

The energy casually emitted by Shen Can was enough to kill Holy Envoy Race’s mid-stage Divine Treasure. It landed on the Old Turtle without causing any harm.

Subsequently, he increased the energy to the degree capable of slaying Late-stage Divine Treasure.

BOOM BOOM BOOM!

The Old Turtle returned to the ground, quickly shouting.

"Spare me!"

Yet, after shouting, it suddenly realized it hadn’t suffered any injury.
