As the saying goes, you are what you eat. Eating stones can indeed make you harder, but this kind of hardness is so comprehensive that you can't even move, which is not what Su Nian wanted.
So, to understand the pattern of the Advanced Devour technique, early the next morning, a dragon appeared in the Silvermoon Forest, gnawing on anything it saw.
[Ding! Devoured 36g of gold, scale strength increased by 0.00008%, fire resistance increased by 0.00012%]
[Ding! Devoured a Mountain Wolf, all attributes increase by 0.0002% when hungry]
[Ding! Devoured a Blazing Rabbit, fire elent affinity increased by 0.0001%]
...
[Ding! Devoured 500g of Black Dragon at, the purity of "Conner Niaolid Woterus Stupak..." in dragon genes has increased]
"What the heck is Conner? Is it so big shot among the dragons?"
Su Nian held his bleeding tail and fell into deep thought.
He searched through his inherited mories and found that there was no Primordial Dragon nad Conner xxx currently living on the Pri Material Plane.
There are generally two possibilities.
The first is that this dragon big shot is not under the jurisdiction of Dragon Isle.
And neither believes in Tiamat, the mother of Chromatic Dragons, nor Bahamut, the god of tallic Dragons, so it is not recorded in the inherited mories.
The second possibility is that this dragon big shot has hidden its existence.
And is no longer on the Pri Material Plane.
In any case, this big shot is related to him by blood.
If it's a male dragon, it could be his great-great-great-grandfather.
If it's a female dragon, then it's his great-great-great-grandmother.
And perhaps the reason why his wings and forepaws were connected at birth is related to this?
Su Nian shook his head. Bloodline is just a credential, and it doesn't an much to him now. Becoming stronger is what's most important.
He can't just devour himself for the sake of purifying his bloodline.
After so testing, he found that only devouring gold and silver mines didn't have side effects; both could increase scale strength, with gold increasing fire resistance and silver increasing poison resistance.
He suddenly understood why Gold Dragons could press Red Dragons into magma, as they simply weren't afraid of fire.
Conveniently, there was a silver mine near the Dragon Nest being mined by kobolds. Although the daily yield was limited, it had accumulated significantly over ti.
So, he took so ti to devour all the mined silver, ultimately increasing his scale strength by 5% and poison resistance by 12%.
This was reflected on his dragon body as a hint of dark silver in his scales.
Su Nian boldly speculated that once he devoured enough silver, he would beco a new dragon species—the Silver Black Dragon.
But there wasn't much gold.
Even after the previous battle, he hadn't gathered enough gold coins to cover even a quarter of his sleeping platform.
He was reluctant to devour all those gold coins, as there were so few that it wouldn't make much of a difference. It would be better to visit the human kingdoms' treasuries in the future; if he could win, he would devour them on the spot, and if not, he could devour and run. Wouldn't that be delightful?
Su Nian indulged in a daydream for a while, then summoned the system.
"System, initiate the second and third phase modifications for ."
[Ding! System points sufficient, second phase "Advanced Scale Density" and third phase "Advanced Scale Strength" modifications initiated. This modification will cause mild pain, please prepare yourself, host.]
For the full version, visit [ pawℝead ].
Although the system said to prepare, the modification began as soon as the system finished speaking.
High-temperature liquid tal appeared out of thin air under the system's control, gradually covering Su Nian's body.
Su Nian had never experienced the pain of a branding iron on his skin, but now he did.
Accompanied by a sizzling sound, excruciating pain surged through him, as if his flesh was being torn apart, with the added scent of roasting at.
This distracted Su Nian a bit, and he swallowed a mouthful of Dragon Saliva.
Perhaps he should have roasted his tail before gnawing on it earlier?
With the help of the Insight Spell, Su Nian discovered that the liquid tal was called Adamantite, a steel ore and the main material for Deathwing's first set of armor.
No wonder it didn't cost many system points; if it were Elentium, the primordial ore, the system points consud would increase tenfold.
But for now, the steel ore was sufficient for him, and he could upgrade further if needed in the future.
After all, he wasn't truly Deathwing and had to maintain his armor regularly to avoid the risk of his dragon body being torn apart.
With the system's help, once the modification was successful, these armors would beco part of his body, and future upgrades could be directly based on the existing foundation.
Ti passed by the second, and the dragon's strong adaptability allowed him to gradually get used to the pain. Plus, with Anna nearby, he could admire her sleeping face during the modification, which seed to completely block out the pain.
[Second phase "Advanced Scale Density" modification complete]
[Third phase "Advanced Scale Strength" modification complete]
[10,000 system points deducted]
[Please inspect, host]
The system prompt disappeared, and a light screen visible only to Su Nian appeared before him.
On the screen was his current 3D image, which he could freely rotate and zoom in on to see every corner of his dragon body, down to the fine hairs on his barbs.
Looking at himself on the screen, Su Nian couldn't help but feel a surge of excitent.
His entire body was covered in dark steel scales, with sharp horns at so joint areas, and even the contours of his wings were covered in a layer of steel.
A row of V-shaped steel plates adorned his sturdy neck, neatly arranged, gradually enlarging as they extended towards his chest, completely encasing his chest cavity, and continuing down to his tail.
Except for lacking an iron jaw, a molten fla core, and having a pair of forward-curving demonic horns, his overall appearance was almost like Deathwing Neltharion.
"My na is Su Nian Woterus Stupak, the destined world destroyer, the ender of all things, unstoppable, unyielding, I am the Cataclysm."
Su Nian raised his dragon head with satisfaction, reciting Deathwing's lines in a deep, sinister, raspy voice, and attempted to crawl a few steps with his mighty dragon body.
His weight had clearly multiplied several tis.
Even crawling on the ground left noticeable footprints, yet surprisingly, it didn't affect his body's agility, nor did it feel burdenso.
However, the system was very considerate and quickly resolved Su Nian's doubts:
[Advanced Scale Density: Scale density increased by 100%, weight increased by 100%, speed decreased by 20%]
[Advanced Scale Strength: Scales tallized, strength increased by 200%, weight increased by 300%, speed decreased by 20%]
[Warning: Due to the host's reduced speed, severely affecting body agility, the effects of this modification are temporarily open at 50%. Once the host's muscle strength increases, it can be fully opened.]

Trivia (can be skipped)
--------------------
Tiamat.
Like her arch-nesis Bahamut, she is revered as a deity in many places.
All evil dragons hold Tiamat in reverence, and Green Dragons and Blue Dragons are especially willing to acknowledge her supre authority over them.
Even good dragons respect her in their hearts, though they try to avoid ntioning or even thinking of her na.
In her natural form, Tiamat is a massive dragon with five heads and a wyvern-like tail.
Each of her heads has a different color: white, black, green, blue, and red.
Her enormous body is adorned with beautiful stripes of these colors.
Tiamat has many consorts, including many Elder Wyrms of White, Black, Green, Blue, and Red Dragons.
Doctrine:
Tiamat is solely concerned with spreading her evil agenda, defeating so-called "good people," and increasing the population of evil dragons.
Her favorite pasti is to completely raze a village, city, or country, or even a large area of the world.
She is an evil entity in the shadows, often sensed on a spiritual level but never seen.
Tiamat is always seeking ways to expand the power and influence of evil dragons in the world, especially when she and her evil dragon followers find themselves embroiled in territorial disputes with good dragons.
Tiamat also tirelessly pursues more respect, worship, and offerings from her followers.
