The Myriad Sha Abyss Killed Others Who Entered, but He Ate His Fill

When Lu Yuan first entered the Myriad Sha Abyss,

he felt only one thing above all else.

Comfort.

The vicious Sha Qi around him was incredibly dense.

Simply breathing in the Qi was more effective than actively seeking out Sha Qi in the outside world.

As he descended farther,

the feeling grew stronger and stronger.

The entire Myriad Sha Abyss was like an ocean made of vicious Sha Qi.

Black-and-red mist enveloped Lu Yuan's entire body.

Every inch of his scales was being battered.

At the same time,

his body was constantly absorbing it.

Lu Yuan had not even truly begun devouring it, yet the Qi in his body was already slowly increasing.

"What a wonderful place."

He murmured in admiration.

His enormous fins swayed gently.

He continued swimming into the depths.

The dark-gold screen of light on his back kept all the Sha Qi outside at bay.

The little creatures within had no idea what the environment outside had become.

All they noticed was that it had turned pitch-black beyond the screen.

Occasional flashes of dark-red lightning appeared.

Most of the creatures had already retreated to their nests.

Naturally, Lu Yuan would not let the vicious Qi of the Myriad Sha Abyss reach them.

These little creatures had not even reached the Immortal Realm.

Even a trace of concentrated Sha Qi could make them lose their minds on the spot.

After descending another unknown number of tens of thousands of li,

the vicious Sha Qi around him finally underwent an obvious change.

The mist gradually condensed,

forming vast expanses of viscous black-and-red liquid.

Liquid Sha Qi!

Lu Yuan plunged straight in.

Boom!

When his enormous body entered the Sha sea, it immediately stirred up towering waves.

The waves routinely rose thousands of li high,

slamming violently against the abyss's rocky walls.

The entire Myriad Sha Abyss began to shake.

Sensing the incredibly dense Qi around him, Lu Yuan could finally no longer restrain his appetite.

He opened his mouth.

He sucked!

Rumble!

The entire Sha sea erupted into turmoil!

An enormous vortex rapidly formed, centered on Lu Yuan's gaping maw.

At first, it was only a few thousand li across.

In the blink of an eye, it expanded to tens of thousands of li.

Vast quantities of Sha liquid were pulled toward him, forming torrents of black and red that poured wildly into his mouth.

The power of conversion within his body operated at full force.

As such dense Qi entered him, Lu Yuan could even clearly feel his body expanding.

His blood grew more and more active.

Faint vibrations constantly traveled through his bones.

The star patterns on his scales lit up one by one.

[Body length: 90,030 li.]

[Body length: 90,080 li.]

[Body length: 91,000 li.]

The number was rising far faster than ever before!

The more Lu Yuan ate, the better he felt.

He simply increased his suction once more.

The level of the entire Sha sea began to fall visibly.

The vicious beasts living in the Sha sea suffered terribly.

A deformed vicious beast several thousand zhang in size had been sleeping on the seabed.

The currents around it suddenly turned violent.

It opened its eyes.

Before it could understand what was happening,

its enormous body was already flying upward, out of its control.

"Roar!"

The vicious beast roared in terror.

Its claws scrabbled wildly at the rocks on the seabed.

Boom!

It forcibly tore an entire slab of rock loose.

Yet it still could not stop.

The suction was too strong.

The vicious beast spun all the way toward Lu Yuan.

When it finally saw the enormous mouth filling its entire field of vision, its scarlet eyes went as wide as they could.

"Aow!"

Its scream had only just begun

when the entire beast vanished along with the Sha liquid.

Lu Yuan barely even tasted it.

"Did something just get mixed in?"

He was somewhat puzzled.

But the essence Qi in his body had indeed increased a little.

Lu Yuan paid it no mind.

He kept eating.

On the outskirts of the Myriad Sha Abyss,

the vicious beasts that had followed him were still lingering near the entrance.

Naturally, they could not see exactly what was happening in the depths.

But they could feel the entire Myriad Sha Abyss shaking.

At first,

the vicious beasts thought Lu Yuan had encountered some danger.

The Golden Immortal vicious bird stared tensely at the entrance.

"Has a fight broken out?"

The giant ape shook its head.

"I don't hear any sounds of fighting."

"Then why does it keep shaking in there?"

The surrounding vicious beasts exchanged glances.

Just then,

the expression of an old vicious beast who was relatively familiar with the Myriad Sha Abyss suddenly changed.

It lowered its head and sensed for a moment,

then abruptly looked up.

"Sha Qi!"

All the beasts turned toward it.

The old vicious beast's eyes were full of shock.

"The Sha Qi pouring out of the Myriad Sha Abyss... is decreasing!"

As soon as it spoke,

the surroundings fell silent.

The Golden Immortal vicious bird immediately released its Divine Sense to investigate.

Soon,

its expression changed as well.

It really was decreasing.

Normally, the Myriad Sha Abyss was like an enormous spring.

The vicious Sha Qi within constantly overflowed into the outside world.

Now, the rate of that outflow had clearly slowed.

Some of the Sha Qi on the outskirts had even begun flowing back into the depths!

What did this mean?

There was an even greater force of suction inside.

All the vicious beasts thought of Lu Yuan at the same time.

The corner of the giant ape's mouth visibly twitched.

"He... has started eating?"

The old vicious beast nodded slowly.

"Probably."

The vicious beasts fell silent once more.

Knowing was one thing.

Actually sensing the entire Myriad Sha Abyss change because Lu Yuan was eating was another.

At the Beast Emperor Palace,

the expressions on the faces of several vicious beast overlords grew increasingly remarkable as well.

Lu Yuan's full figure was no longer visible in the water mirror.

The surrounding Sha Qi was too dense.

They could only sense the changes in Qi within through the great formation.

The black-armored overlord stared at the figures, which kept falling, his eyes gradually widening.

"How long has it been?"

"The first layer of the Sha sea has already fallen by half a tenth?"

The overlord beside him looked just as shaken.

"What's half a tenth? Look at the current rate."

"It's still speeding up!"

Qiongqi said nothing.

Qiongqi had long known that Lu Yuan could eat.

But only now did Qiongqi truly understand that he had still underestimated Lu Yuan before.

Just how vast was the first layer of the Myriad Sha Abyss's Sha sea?

It normally sustained countless vicious beasts in their cultivation.

Now Lu Yuan had only been inside for a short while,

and the water level had already begun to fall.

Shen Ni, too, gradually straightened up from his initially relaxed position.

His face remained calm,

but his gaze had clearly grown serious.

"Keep watching."

Deep within the Myriad Sha Abyss,

Lu Yuan was already completely absorbed in eating.

The quality of the Sha liquid was simply too high.

He was growing so quickly that he was utterly unwilling to stop.

Ninety-two thousand li.

Ninety-three thousand li.

Ninety-four thousand li...

His body grew larger and larger.

The Myriad Sha Abyss's once-spacious interior even began to feel cramped as Lu Yuan continued to grow.

His scales brushed lightly against parts of the rock walls.

Vast sections collapsed at once.

The seabed's fierce beasts had long since begun fleeing like mad.

At first, some fierce beasts had tried to attack.

But whether they used Divine Abilities or Sha Qi attacks, Lu Yuan swallowed them all along with the seawater.

Those that charged in relying on their bodies alone

found it hard to break through his scales.

After several attempts,

the remaining fierce beasts gave up entirely.

One by one, they fled frantically deeper into the abyss and down other passages.

None of them dared approach again.

Lu Yuan couldn't be bothered to chase them.

Sha liquid was much tastier than these ordinary fierce beasts.

As he continued devouring,

his growth became increasingly apparent.

Ninety-six thousand li.

Ninety-eight thousand li.

Ninety-nine thousand li!

Lu Yuan finally slowed down somewhat.

The number in his consciousness was drawing ever closer to a certain threshold.

Deep within his body,

an unfamiliar sensation gradually emerged.

It was as though some kind of shackle was loosening.

An intense throbbing came from within his bloodline.

Lu Yuan's eyes slowly lit up.

"Almost there."

[Body length: 99,700 li.]
