"Big Yellow, I brought you something good this time," Ou Yangming said while he smiled with squinted eyes.

The big yellow dog pricked up its ears and scanned Ou Yangming from head to toe. It was more intelligent than ordinary people and could understand what the young fellow said. Nonetheless, after looking at him, the dog cast a sidelong glance at him scornfully.

'I'm a dog, but you can't lie to me like that. Is that the right thing to do?'

Ou Yangming immediately understood what the dog was saying, and he could not help but laugh. He later retrieved an interspatial bag.

As he shook it gently, he revealed a big bag, causing a rich bloody smell to fill the air.

The big yellow dog's eyes lit up right away. It stuck out its tongue and fixed its gaze on the bag.

Ou Yangming sighed. The powerhouses would stare at his interspatial bag if he did the same thing because they knew how valuable it was. Even if he were to pull out a magic tool from it, it would not attract them at all.

On the contrary, for the big yellow dog, the Earthly Dragon Beast's flesh was more attractive than the interspatial bag.

The young fellow did not know if he should call the dog an idiot or if he should envy its unhidden nature.

All of a sudden, Ou Yangming felt a tug. When he turned to look, he realized that Big Yellow had gripped one of the bag's corners with its teeth and was staring at him to say, 'Mine, it's mine!'

Ou Yangming was not going to show weakness. He glared at the dog and said, "Don't be in such a hurry, we'll get half of the portion each."

'Mine, this is mine, it's all mine!'

"Stop pulling it… No, stop biting it!"

'Mine, this is mine!'

Much to Ou Yangming's surprise, the big yellow dog was unusually determined. After all, it was not as eager and as stubborn about the big multicolored tiger's carcass back then.

Feeling helpless, Ou Yangming gave in. "Big Yellow, this one's for you, but the rest is mine!"

The dog instantly nodded and cast a flattering look at him. 'As long as you give this bag to me, I'll listen to anything you say.'

Once Ou Yangming let go of the bag, the big yellow dog took it far away, as though it was avoiding him on purpose.

"You brute…" Ou Yangming cursed, but he did not know whether to cry or laugh.

The big yellow dog seemed to know it was in the wrong. It widened its mouth at Ou Yangming and wagged its tail to fawn over him, then it spat out a paw gauntlet.

After it put on the piece of equipment, it stabbed it into the bag without any hesitation.

The Devouring attribute was unleashed at that moment, and the bag flattened in a flash. Big Yellow closed its eyes with pleasure as if it enjoyed the process very much. Moreover, its aura underwent an odd change.

Ou Yangming focused on the dog and was shocked.

He had an uncommonly deep relationship with the big yellow dog as there was a mysterious spiritual connection between them. Therefore, he knew very well that the dog had improved.

The Devouring attribute was so wonderful that one's abilities could be enhanced without the need to cultivate through hard work. Nevertheless, it came with a hidden danger and was extremely limited. The upgrade could not be done endlessly, and half of the essence absorbed from the flesh and blood would be wasted. According to Ou Yangming's estimation, the flesh and blood in the bag could only provide the big yellow dog a limited gain.

Despite that, Ou Yangming knew at this moment he was wrong—terribly wrong.

Unbeknownst to him, the Earthly Dragon Beast's flesh and blood seemed to contain mysterious powers, which were evidently effective toward the big yellow dog.

The margin of increase turned out to be far beyond Ou Yangming's imagination.

He wondered, 'What exactly is the big yellow dog's background?'

Ou Yangming had seen many great-ancestor-level half-spirit beasts, but they were normally valiant in terms of physical powers. Even if they had powers similar to the big yellow dog's Breathing Skill, the powers only played supporting roles. On the opposite, the situation was entirely different for the big dog. Its physical power was great, it could at least bully ordinary, equal-ranked humans without magic tools.

However, the big yellow dog's true strengths were its Breathing Skill and its seemingly bottomless stomach.

It killed the simulated big multicolored tiger with one breath and swallowed a full equipment set into its stomach.

They were clear examples of the big yellow dog's peculiarity.

Seeing as it quickly improved when it absorbed the energies from the Earthly Dragon Beast's flesh and blood, Ou Yangming had a strange thought.

'Is Big Yellow not a creature from this world? Or perhaps the blood meridian that it inherited isn't limited to this world.'

Just as Ou Yangming was guessing, the big yellow dog had finished devouring the Earthly Dragon Beast's flesh and blood. The bag had completely shrunken, anyone who opened it would see that there was no trace of flesh or blood at all.

The big yellow dog had cleaned up everything, and it felt more refreshed than if it had licked them instead.

Big Yellow stuck out its tongue at Ou Yangming. Even a fool could notice the flattering look on its face.

Ou Yangming was amazed. He was exceptionally alert when the big yellow dog absorbed the energies because it showed signs of nearly being obsessed when it previously absorbed similar energies.

This time, everything was normal instead. Not to mention being obsessed, the big yellow dog did not burp at all.

"Big Yellow, are you satisfied now?" Ou Yangming nodded and asked.

The big yellow dog nodded to express its satisfaction.

Ou Yangming flashed a bright smile and said, "Then the rest will be mine."

"Woof!" The big yellow dog barked loudly, making it seem generous.

With that, Ou Yangming nodded and brushed his hand across his interspatial bag.

Next, an equal-sized bag was placed on the floor. Following that, a second one, a third one…

The big yellow dog, who was initially wagging its tail, stopped at once. It widened its eyes so much that its eyeballs were about to fall out, and it widened its mouth and salivated. After a brief moment, the big dog blinked its huge eyes and pretended to look pitiful. On top of that, it also wagged its tail as if it was a propeller and ran toward Ou Yangming.

Ou Yangming grinned and said, "Mine, they're mine!"

Big Yellow staggered and wagged its tail faster.

'Mine, they're mine!'

The big yellow dog stared at Ou Yangming, who could not help but beam at the eager look on its face.

At last, Ou Yangming could not help but laugh out loud. "Okay, they're yours, they're yours."

Big Yellow barked excitedly, but it tilted its head to ponder and decided to split the bags into two portions.

Subsequently, it stood beside the bigger portion and barked at Ou Yangming.

Ou Yangming shook his head and responded, "I'm full now, so I don't need them for the time being. You can devour all of them if you're able to."

Indeed, the young fellow's cultivation base directly upgraded from Yang Grade Class One to the peak of Yang Grade in the imperial family's secret realm. He did not need to absorb energies from flesh and blood at the moment because he needed to slowly temper himself and to cultivate so that he could get ready to enter Extreme Grade.

In actuality, based on his control over his body and his mental power, it would be relatively easy for him to become a Supreme Great Ancestor.

That said, it would cause him unnecessary troubles and hidden problems in the future. Hence, he had been restraining himself to take one step at a time.

Nonetheless, the big yellow dog kept shaking its head this time and barked again. It seemed like it was trying to tell him something else.

Ou Yangming was stunned because he sensed what Big Yellow wanted him to do. He turned his wrist after some thought and retrieved a dagger.

Since the big yellow dog was so persistent, he figured that there must be something else.

After removing the bag's string, Ou Yangming stabbed his dagger into the flesh. The Earthly Dragon Beast's skin was incredibly tough and could not be pierced by an ordinary dagger, but its flesh was not as tough.

Attached with the Devouring attribute, the dagger unleashed the might as soon as it penetrated the flesh.

Weird yet powerful energies gushed into Ou Yangming's body through the dagger. The young fellow was moved, and his face took on a strange expression.

The flesh and blood contained surprisingly enormous powers, but that was not the main point. What truly made Ou Yangming feel different was how dissimilar the energies were.

He suddenly had a feeling that he could transfer the energies into his spiritual world.

Ou Yangming's body had arrived at the bottleneck, but he must stop to temper it for his future development. Even so, his mental power had not arrived at its limit.

Having said that, mental power cultivation seemed to be very much constrained in this world. No matter how Ou Yangming cultivated, his progress was despairing. This was also the biggest reason he had only met very few powerhouses who were adept in mental power.

The Earthly Dragon Beast's flesh and blood carried a unique type of energy. In a way, there was a huge disparity between that energy and the ones in this world.

When the energies were devoured, they could somehow be completely converted into mental power as Ou Yangming wished.

Ou Yangming's eyelids twitched, and he was agitated.

He guided the energies into his sea of consciousness, where his mental power transformed into surging waves to envelop them. Afterward, the energies were easily converted into his mental power, which was steadily improved.

Furthermore, there were no abnormalities throughout the process, and his Qi and blood remained stable as well. The hot temper that was a result of the Devouring attribute, billowing Qi and blood, as well as other negative impacts seemed to have disappeared at this moment.
