Chapter 635: Chapter 256: Divine Techniques of the Mural

”Did you learn the Divine Eagle Skill here?” Xu Ran asked.

Xiao Bai nodded again.

Immediately, Xu Ran turned his gaze to the mural, and he saw nine Immortal Swords behind the little figure depicted, prompting a surge of excitement.

”Could it be that this depicts human Divine Techniques?”

Xiao Bai nodded vigorously.

It was Xu Ran’s turn to be thrilled. Divine Techniques were currently what he lacked the most, and the techniques depicted on the mural were Attack Divine Techniques.

Right now, his Smell Wind Skill was used to perceive danger in advance, and the Wind Control Skill was used for wind-controlling flight. The only skill he had before was the Annihilation Tribulation Light. Since coming to the Origin Realm, he hadn’t learned any Attack Divine Techniques, and the techniques on the mural were his first chance.

Xu Ran assessed his internal condition and said to Xiao Bai, ”Xiao Bai, you go and slay the Giant Eagle first. I’ll recover, and when I’m in the best state, I’ll try to comprehend the techniques.”

Xiao Bai nodded and immediately left the cliff, leaving Xu Ran alone. Given the recent aerial battle, no Demon Beasts would come here, so there was no need to worry about safety.

Very soon.

Xiao Bai reached the deep pit where the Giant Eagle had fallen but found no trace of it.

One had to admit, the Giant Eagle’s survival instinct was extremely strong. It could get up and leave quickly despite its severe injuries, and it hadn’t been long!

However, for Xiao Bai, who had fully recovered, finding an injured Giant Eagle was simple.

It just sniffed the air and detected the Giant Eagle’s scent, instantly vanishing from its original spot.

The fleeing Giant Eagle’s entire body was in shambles, even its prideful wings were halved, with bone wings exposed to the air. Its body was riddled with wounds, and both of its hind claws were gone, leaving only the front three toes.

To manage to flee a kilometer with such severe injuries showed an incredible will to survive.

Suddenly.

The fleeing Giant Eagle abruptly turned its head, sensing a powerful aura rapidly approaching it. In just a moment, it was right behind it, filling the Giant Eagle with despair, its face full of fear.

Xiao Bai appeared before it, gazing into its fearful eyes without a shred of pity, as the talons on its foot swiftly sliced across the eagle’s neck.

”Boom----”

A three-meter-tall body suddenly collapsed; thus, the Giant Eagle that had pursued Xu Ran and Xiao Bai so relentlessly was thoroughly vanquished.

Xiao Bai expertly disemboweled it, as body refining required Demon Blood, and the Giant Eagle’s heart blood would surely be useful.

While expertly proceeding with everything, Xiao Bai noticed something peculiar in the Giant Eagle’s chest. Cautiously, it extracted a bone near the heart, observing clear runes etched upon it.

Xiao Bai couldn’t comprehend the runes, but nonetheless, it was surely valuable and worth taking back to its master.

Immediately, Xiao Bai leaped skyward, slaughtering all the raptors and Demon Beasts that had previously bowed to the Giant Eagle, collecting all their Demon Blood, and returned to the cliff.

During the period Xiao Bai was out pursuing, Xu Ran had restored his body to peak condition and was just about to comprehend the mural when Xiao Bai placed a bone before him.

”What’s this?” Xu Ran asked as he picked up the bone, promptly spotting the clearly etched runes, his face breaking into a joyous expression, ”This is... a Treasure Bone!!”

Xu Ran’s voice rose in pitch, demonstrating his immense excitement.

A Treasure Bone!

It is a bone unique to Demon Beasts, inscribed with their innate talent, typically found only in juvenile Demon Beasts, and not all possess it—only those with special bloodlines.

Adult Demon Beasts may also have Treasure Bones, but those possessing one have profound self-development and deep comprehension of their innate talents, often absorbing the runes on their bones, leading to them becoming faint and illegible.

”I didn’t expect that despite facing great danger, we would gain so much!”

Not only could he comprehend the Divine Techniques on the mural, but they also acquired a Treasure Bone with incredibly clear runes, achieving two goals at once!

Xu Ran, now in top form, held the Treasure Bone eagerly.

He immediately calmed himself, placing both hands upon the Treasure Bone, feeling a slippery texture surge forth. The bone was flawless, and even the runes seemed not etched onto it. It felt akin to the first time he touched a Beast Hide when he comprehended the Smell Wind Skill and Wind Control Skill.

As Xu Ran fully immersed himself in comprehension, unexpectedly, the runes on the Treasure Bone began to move, swimming like fish in water, following the bone up to Xu Ran’s hands. At this moment, Xu Ran was oblivious to the outside world.

At this time, in the Sea of Spirit.

The runes flowing into his body through his hands began converging in the Sea of Spirit, forming an obscure and complex pattern of black runes above, gradually taking the shape of a Giant Eagle, its eyes filled with resentment, clearly exhibiting the bitterness the eagle felt in its death, fully replicated on this Treasure Bone.

”Hmph!” Xu Ran snorted coldly at this sight, ”Dead beasts should stay in Hell. To exist in any form in the world is futile!”
