Devour Demonic Core!

Upon receiving news that Flowing Cloud would be coming to Wutan City for training,

Ya Fei worried that she would likely lose the authority she had once held at the auction house.

But she never expected that after Flowing Cloud arrived in Wutan City, not only did he not seize her authority, he even gave her his full support.

Although she did not understand why Flowing Cloud was doing this, Ya Fei could not help feeling delighted.

Because of her naturally poor cultivation talent, she was destined never to become strong, leaving her in an extremely awkward position within the family.

Yet what left Ya Fei helpless was that heaven had bestowed upon her peerless beauty.

She understood that without sufficient strength, her beauty would only bring disaster upon herself.

Either she would become the plaything of the powerful, trapped in a life worse than death.

Or she would become a tool for the family's marriage alliance and marry someone she did not love.

Ya Fei did not want either outcome.

Therefore, she could only work hard to elevate her status within the family.

Only once she possessed enough influence within the family would she have the right to choose her own fate.

She had gone through great hardship to win authority over the Mittel Auction House in Wutan City.

Ya Fei believed that as long as she gradually expanded the Mittel Auction House and rendered meritorious service to the family, she would gain a voice in the family in the future.

After several years of management, Ya Fei had gradually established a foothold in Wutan City, making the Mittel Auction House famous throughout the city.

Ya Fei believed that as long as she advanced another step, she would enter the upper ranks of the family's sight and be entrusted with greater responsibility.

But Flowing Cloud's sudden arrival had undoubtedly disrupted her plans.

Flowing Cloud's arrival had thrown all of Ya Fei's plans into disarray.

She had thought that once Flowing Cloud took over, she would have nowhere to prove herself.

But Ya Fei had not expected that not only did Flowing Cloud refrain from interfering with the Mittel Auction House or taking away her authority, he instead fully supported her.

His actions stirred Ya Fei's heart, and she looked at Flowing Cloud with some gratitude.

"Ya Fei thanks Young Master for your support!"

Flowing Cloud smiled calmly. "Sister Ya Fei, work well under me. Once I take over the Mite'er Family, I'll give you the life you want."

Flowing Cloud looked meaningfully at the bewitching and alluring Ya Fei before him.

Was this considered winning people over?

Ya Fei gazed deeply at the young man before her, a charming smile appearing at the corners of her lips.

"Ya Fei will certainly do her utmost to strengthen the Mittel Auction House."

"It is late. Young Master should rest early as well."

"Ya Fei shall take her leave."

With that, Ya Fei bowed and prepared to leave the pavilion.

"Wait..."

Seeing Ya Fei about to depart, Flowing Cloud suddenly spoke.

"Sister Ya Fei, please have someone send a few first-tier Magical Beast Cores to my room later."

"Magical Beast Cores?"

Ya Fei looked puzzled. "What does Young Master need Magical Beast Cores for?"

However, she was a clever woman and knew what she should ask and what she should not.

"Ya Fei understands!"

After responding lightly, Ya Fei headed straight down from the pavilion.

After Ya Fei left, Flowing Cloud stood alone atop the pavilion, looking down over all of Wutan City.

"That should be where the Xiao Clan is, right?"

Looking toward the direction of the Xiao Clan residence, a thoughtful look appeared in Flowing Cloud's eyes.

Now that he had the system by his side, Flowing Cloud naturally no longer considered clinging to Xiao Yan.

No matter how strong Xiao Yan was, could he be stronger than someone like him with cheats?

In the future Dou Qi Continent, only he, Mittel Flowing Cloud, would be the true protagonist.

Perhaps he would even break through to the Dou Di realm in the future, shatter the void, and venture into the vast, boundless Great Thousand World.

Back on Blue Star, Flowing Cloud had also read Great Ruler.

He knew that the Dou Qi Continent where he now stood was merely a Lesser Thousand World.

Beyond the Dou Qi Continent lay the vast and boundless Great Thousand World.

His goal was to shatter the void, enter the Great Thousand World, and become a true ruler!

Half an hour later, Flowing Cloud had returned to his room.

Several brightly colored, beautiful crystals rested on the table.

Ya Fei was highly efficient. The Magical Beast Cores Flowing Cloud had requested had already been placed in his room.

Satisfaction flashed through Flowing Cloud's eyes. As expected of the future "Golden Empress"—her efficiency was top-notch.

Flowing Cloud walked over to the table and looked at the five Magical Beast Cores on it.

A Magical Beast Core was a kind of energy crystal found within magical beasts.

It was filled with extremely violent energy of heaven and earth.

Even a Dou Wang would not dare forcibly absorb such violent energy at the risk of exploding to death.

The reason Flowing Cloud had asked Ya Fei to find these Magical Beast Cores was naturally to devour them.

After fusing with the Heaven Devouring Demonic Body, Flowing Cloud had awakened the Devouring Divine Ability.

All things between heaven and earth could be forcibly devoured and transformed into the purest nourishment to enhance his strength.

Therefore, when Flowing Cloud used the Heaven Devouring Demonic Body to Devour Demonic Cores, they would be directly converted into pure nourishment, with no danger of his body exploding.

At that thought, Flowing Cloud no longer hesitated and directly picked up a Magical Beast Core.

As the Devouring Divine Ability was activated, an inexplicable devouring force surged from Flowing Cloud's palm and enveloped the Magical Beast Core in his hand.

Soon, a stream of pure energy was drawn into Flowing Cloud's body by the devouring force.

Feeling that power enter his body, Flowing Cloud kept his breathing as steady as possible while greedily absorbing the energy.

Bang!

A moment later, a dull sound rang out from within Flowing Cloud's body.

Then, Flowing Cloud's body suddenly trembled violently, and his lower abdomen contracted slightly.

A moment later, Flowing Cloud's eyes abruptly flew open. Blue-white light rapidly flashed through his black pupils, and as he opened his mouth slightly, he exhaled a breath of somewhat murky air.

Ninth Stage of Dou Qi!

Flowing Cloud had previously been at the Eighth Stage of Dou Qi.

After devouring this Magical Beast Core, he had smoothly broken through to the Ninth Stage of Dou Qi.

At fifteen years old, reaching the Ninth Stage of Dou Qi was considered genius-level talent even across the entire Jia Ma Empire.

However, Flowing Cloud's sights were set on the entire Dou Qi Continent, so he naturally did not regard such an achievement as anything noteworthy.

While the iron was hot!

Flowing Cloud loosened his grip, and the Magical Beast Core in his hand immediately turned into a pile of powder.

Then, Flowing Cloud picked up the second Magical Beast Core and continued devouring it.

Time quietly passed, and the night soon came to an end.

The next morning.

Flowing Cloud abruptly opened his eyes and twisted his neck, producing a series of crisp cracking sounds.

He clenched his palm slightly, and the satisfying sensation of strength made a joyous smile curl across Flowing Cloud's lips.

"I've finally broken through to Dou Zhe..."

Closing his eyes slightly, Flowing Cloud focused inward and sensed the abundant Dou Qi within his body as he murmured with a low laugh.

Over the course of one night, devouring the energy from all five Magical Beast Cores had allowed Flowing Cloud to break directly into the Dou Zhe realm.

A fifteen-year-old Dou Zhe would be considered an absolute genius even across the entire Northwest Region.

After checking the time, Flowing Cloud washed up and slowly walked out of his room.

The auction was about to begin!
