He Tore Off a Mouthful of Chaos Demon God Flesh, Leaving Shen Ni Dumbfounded!
Boom!
The bloody divine light slammed into Lu Yuan's lower jaw.
Its power was concentrated to the utmost. The instant it struck his scales, it shattered several nearby dark-gold scales.
A searing pain shot through his jaw.
Lu Yuan's enormous head jerked from the blow.
Gold-red blood dripped from his teeth and struck the surface of the remnant finger, instantly stirring up a vast cloud of gray-black currents.
Shen Ni's attack was indeed formidable.
The Beast Emperor Principle it contained could already penetrate part of Lu Yuan's physical defenses.
If he held this position, his injuries would likely worsen.
But Lu Yuan had no time to care about the pain.
For the instant the divine light struck his jaw, he finally heard the crack he had been waiting for.
Crack!
He had bitten a fissure into the weathered flesh on the outermost layer of the Chaos Demon God Remnant Finger!
Strands of gray-gold light quickly lit up deep within the fissure.
That light was impossibly ancient.
Every strand contained a rich concentration of Chaos Origin.
Lu Yuan could clearly feel that the flesh, which had been tightly connected to the entire remnant finger, had now noticeably loosened.
Just one more pull.
And he could tear it off!
At the thought, a surge of intense excitement rose in Lu Yuan's heart.
He ignored the pain in his jaw.
Instead, he clenched his teeth even harder.
At the same time, his enormous body slowly pulled backward.
What would it look like when a Grand Void Sky Whale over 103,000 li long used its full strength to pull at something?
The ferocious beasts in Myriad Sha Abyss soon saw it with their own eyes.
Rumble!
The entire abyss shook violently.
Lu Yuan's two enormous fins moved at once, and the huge tail fin behind him slowly began to exert force as well.
The black-red Sha Sea around him was forcibly heaved apart.
Countless rocks exploded under the terrifying force.
The Chaos Demon God Remnant Finger naturally remained unmoved.
But the weathered flesh on its surface, already cracked, began peeling away bit by bit under Lu Yuan's full-strength pull.
Crack!
A fissure hundreds of li long spread out in an instant.
Then.
Several thousand li!
Over ten thousand li!
The gray-black outer layer that had been attached to the remnant finger's surface was being forcibly torn open by Lu Yuan.
Chaos Origin several times denser than before poured wildly from the fissure.
Lu Yuan's eyes lit up with astonishing brightness.
"I really can bite it off!"
The ferocious beasts watching from afar were utterly speechless.
A ferocious beast king at the Taiyi Realm stood rigid, its scarlet eyes wide and round. Its mouth hung open for a long time before it finally managed to speak.
"Th-this... how is this possible?"
The Golden Immortal ferocious beast beside it was trembling all over.
"He actually bit open the Demon God's remnant body!"
"That's flesh left behind by a Chaos Demon God!"
"His Majesty attacked him personally and still couldn't make him let go. Just how strong is that Grand Void Sky Whale?!"
The more the ferocious beasts watched, the more terrified they became.
In their eyes, the physical strength Lu Yuan was displaying had completely defied common sense.
Especially that Chaos Demon God Remnant Finger.
The presence it naturally gave off was enough to make their souls tremble.
Yet the enormous beast before them.
Was actually enduring Beast Emperor Shen Ni's attacks and forcibly tearing open the surface of the remnant finger!
Inside the Beast Emperor Palace.
Qiongqi's eyes likewise widened.
"He actually managed to bite it open!"
The black-armored giant's expression had turned as ugly as could be.
Its scarlet eyes remained fixed on the water mirror, its fists unconsciously clenching.
"That's the foundation of Myriad Sha Abyss!"
"Does this fellow really intend to eat the entire remnant finger?"
The white-bone giant beside it suddenly shook its head.
"Look closely."
"He's biting the weathered flesh on the outside of the remnant finger. That area was already covered in cracks. Now that it's been forcibly torn open, I'm afraid it'll soon come off completely."
Hearing that, Qiongqi quickly looked at the water mirror.
Sure enough.
The spot Lu Yuan's teeth gripped was clearly at the edge of the remnant finger.
The outer flesh there had been eroded over countless years, leaving its structure much looser.
On top of that, the earlier battle between the two had shaken the seal, and quite a few cracks had already appeared in the outer layer of rock.
Now that Lu Yuan had seized the chance to pull with all his might, it had finally begun to come away.
Qiongqi's expression grew increasingly complicated.
This fellow...
He really knew where to bite.
Inside Myriad Sha Abyss.
Shen Ni naturally saw it clearly as well.
Just as he was preparing to continue attacking Lu Yuan, he suddenly paused.
For he had noticed.
As Lu Yuan pulled at the weathered flesh, the cracks were spreading deeper into the remnant finger.
If they were allowed to spread, even the truly intact Demon God Origin might be affected.
The loss then would far exceed this bit of outer flesh.
Shen Ni's expression darkened in an instant.
"Lu Yuan, stop this instant!"
He let out a low shout.
The bloody beast mark between his brows suddenly blazed.
Boom!
Streams of condensed Principles surged from Shen Ni's body.
But this time, he did not attack Lu Yuan directly.
Instead, he directed the power around the fissure in the remnant finger.
Vast bloody patterns quickly spread out, attempting to seal the ever-growing fissure again.
Lu Yuan naturally felt it too.
As Shen Ni's power entered the outer layer of the remnant finger, the weathered flesh suddenly became sturdier.
The area that had begun to loosen once again offered noticeable resistance.
Lu Yuan grew somewhat anxious.
It was already in his mouth.
How could I let you press it back into place?
He drew a sharp breath.
A powerful suction immediately swept the Chaos Origin that had been escaping from the fissure into his mouth.
Boom!
A vast torrent of gray-gold currents poured into his body.
Lu Yuan felt a blaze suddenly ignite between his chest and abdomen.
That power was far more intense than ordinary fierce Sha.
Even though he was controlling the speed at which he devoured it, waves of burning pain still ran through his flesh.
Lu Yuan did not increase his absorption any further.
He first rapidly transformed the power that had already entered his body.
At the same time, his body pulled backward once more.
Crack!
The sound of breaking came from the outer layer of the remnant finger again.
Shen Ni's expression changed drastically.
Large cracks had appeared in the bloody patterns he had just condensed.
Lu Yuan had already torn most of the weathered flesh loose.
Sealing it again was becoming increasingly difficult.
A cold light flashed in Shen Ni's eyes.
"In that case..."
He immediately changed his Method Formula.
The bloody patterns that had been reinforcing the remnant finger's outer layer suddenly raced along the fissure.
This time.
Shen Ni began deliberately severing the connection between the loosened, weathered flesh and the core of the remnant finger.
He understood now.
The risk of continuing to force the entire outer layer back into place was growing.
If the fissure damaged the core, the loss would be far more severe than losing a piece of weathered flesh.
Rather than that.
It was better to preserve the true origin of the remnant finger first.
Shen Ni's eyes were still filled with fury.
But he acted decisively.
He raised his right hand.
A highly condensed force of Principles rapidly spread along the fissure.
Lu Yuan also felt the change.
The weathered flesh, which had been so difficult to pull, suddenly loosened noticeably.
Before he could figure out why.
A heavy boom came from deep within the fissure.
Boom!
A streak of bloody light pierced through the opening.
The last great expanse of weathered tissue connected to the remnant finger's core finally broke free completely!
Lu Yuan's golden eyes lit up.
An opportunity!
He hesitated no longer.
His two enormous fins moved at once.
His massive body jerked backward!
Crack—!
A sound that seemed capable of tearing heaven and earth apart suddenly rang throughout Myriad Sha Abyss!
That expanse of gray-black Demon God flesh, stretching several thousand li and hundreds of li thick, was finally torn from the surface of the remnant finger by Lu Yuan!
Rumble!
Boundless Chaos currents erupted in an instant.
Ancient patterns lit up one after another after leaving the remnant finger, emanating a terrifying pressure that made hearts tremble.
Lu Yuan felt the weight on his teeth suddenly ease.
The piece had finally come completely away from the remnant finger.
His heart filled with wild joy.
I finally got it!
Lu Yuan did not hesitate.
His enormous maw snapped shut.
Crack!
The grayish-black piece of demon god flesh was bitten into several chunks.
Lu Yuan swallowed the smallest chunk first.
Boom—!
An unprecedented surge of terrifying power exploded inside him!
Lu Yuan's entire body jolted.
Across the surface of his scales, silver-white star patterns lit up one after another.
His golden-red blood surged like thunder.
His body, which had nearly stopped growing, began to expand visibly once more.
103,300 li.
103,500 li.
103,800 li...
The numbers deep in his consciousness began to change rapidly.
This time, however, Lu Yuan had no attention to spare for rejoicing.
The power contained in the demon god flesh was simply too great.
Even the smallest chunk made his insides ache and swell.
His flesh, bones, and organs were all under immense pressure.
Some of the Chaos Origin that had yet to be transformed was battering away inside his belly.
Lu Yuan immediately stopped eating.
He held the remaining chunks of demon god flesh in his mouth for the time being, clamping down on them firmly with his teeth.
He slowly closed his enormous jaws.
He focused his strength on digesting the piece he had swallowed.
The vicious beasts outside, however, had no idea what was happening to him.
They had only seen the first part.
Lu Yuan had bitten off a mouthful of Chaos Demon God flesh.
Then he had swallowed it whole!
After a brief silence,
the entire Myriad Sha Abyss erupted!
"He ate it!"
A Golden Immortal vicious beast leaped to its feet.
It even forgot that Shen Ni was still present and roared in terror at the top of its lungs.
"He really ate the Chaos Demon God Remnant Body!"
The Taiyi vicious beast king beside it was trembling all over as well.
"I've lived for countless ages, and this is the first time I've seen anyone dare to devour the flesh of a demon god of that level directly!"
"More terrifying still, he's actually still growing!"
At that point,
the vicious beast king's eyes flew wide open.
What was it seeing?
Lu Yuan's body was still growing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
This was an innate divine beast that had only just surpassed 100,000 li in size!
Seeing him devour vast quantities of Sha liquid earlier had already left them speechless with shock.
Now, after swallowing only a small portion of the demon god flesh, his growth had sped up once again.
"What kind of bloodline is that?!"
Another vicious beast could not help crying out in astonishment.
"If he were given enough Chaos Demon God flesh, wouldn't he be able to keep growing forever?"
At those words,
all the vicious beasts nearby fell silent.
Then, pair after pair of scarlet eyes turned toward Lu Yuan at once.
As they watched that enormous body grow ever stronger, an indescribable dread rose in all their hearts.
Shen Ni sensed the change in Lu Yuan as well.
He had only just saved the core of the severed finger.
When he turned around,
he saw that Lu Yuan had already swallowed some of the demon god flesh.
Moreover, his presence was growing rapidly.
The fury in Shen Ni's eyes finally erupted in full.
"Lu Yuan!"
His furious shout
sent the entire Myriad Sha Abyss shaking violently.
The blood-colored beast pattern between Shen Ni's brows blazed with a piercing light, and the Principles of heaven and earth around him began converging wildly.
He stared at Lu Yuan
and said, enunciating every word, "If I let you leave with those things today, who in the Northern Land will ever take the Imperial Court seriously again?!"
Lu Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
He still held the remaining demon god flesh in his mouth.
The violent Chaos Origin inside him had yet to be fully digested.
Yet his golden eyes remained bright.
He looked at Shen Ni.
Shen Ni looked back at him.
The next moment,
an even more terrifying beast emperor's pressure descended with a thunderous crash!
