Devourer's Form Awakens!

Flag Mountain.

Lei Wen hovered a hundred meters in the air.

Beneath his feet was nothing but empty air, yet it felt steadier than solid ground.

Luo Ye found the sensation utterly marvelous.

It was like a fish returning to the ocean, like a bird growing wings.

Gravity?

What was that?

As long as Lei Wen wished it, he could even remain suspended amid the clouds.

This was the Saint Domain.

Transcending the mundane, the first great transformation in a person's life.

Lei Wen lowered his head and looked down at the snowy valley below.

The demon beast tide had never been so clear.

The ice prison that had trapped him for two years now seemed incomparably small in his eyes.

Within a radius of several miles, every quiver of every snowflake was clearly reflected in his sea of consciousness.

The power of the soul.

There was no need to look with his eyes, nor listen with his ears.

That sensation of controlling everything was intoxicating.

"Awoo!"

A wolf howl shattered the silence.

On the snowy ground below.

Xiao Bai was so thrilled it was about to faint.

Twenty years!

Its master had cultivated for twenty years and had actually become a Saint Domain expert!

What did that signify?

As long as Lei Wen did not die, becoming a god would practically be guaranteed!

A god-level expert!

If its master became a god...

Then as a pet beast, it would surely be able to rise to the heavens as well.

Perhaps...

It might even have a chance to glimpse that legendary divine realm!

At that thought.

The drool at the corner of Xiao Bai's mouth nearly flowed into a river.

Luo Ye clutched its huge leg, trembling so hard its fur stood on end.

In the sky.

Lei Wen paid no attention to Xiao Bai.

At that moment, all of his attention was focused on the depths of his sea of consciousness.

A pitch-black pattern floated quietly there.

It had no limbs, only a body.

It radiated a chilling aura that made one's heart tremble.

That was not the cold of the Ice Phoenix.

It was annihilation.

It was the deathly silence of absolute destruction.

"Soul transformation..."

Lei Wen stared at the pattern.

In this world.

Once one reached the Saint Domain, the soul would undergo transformation.

The form taken by the soul represented a supreme law.

And this pattern represented the law of annihilation.

"A law of destruction?"

"That isn't far from what I guessed!"

A moment later.

The corner of Lei Wen's mouth curled upward as he murmured excitedly.

Suddenly.

A sharp pain came from the back of his left hand.

The pain came quickly and violently.

"Hiss~"

Lei Wen's brows instantly twisted into a frown.

What was going on?

He had only just broken through to the Saint Domain. Could there be some hidden danger?

He abruptly shifted his gaze and stared fixedly at the back of his left hand.

There!

The birthmark that had accompanied him for twenty years was transforming at a visible speed.

Black lines twisted, coiled, and reformed beneath his skin.

Something seemed to be desperately trying to break free.

"It hurts!"

Lei Wen gritted his teeth, cold sweat beading across his forehead.

The instant those beads of sweat appeared, they were frozen by the cold air around him into ice droplets that fell away.

Xiao Bai immediately sensed that something was wrong.

It hurriedly rushed into the sky and approached Lei Wen.

"Master, you're hurt!"

Lei Wen let out a low cry.

He could clearly feel it.

The Spirit Qi within his body was uncontrollably surging toward the back of his hand.

"Damn it!"

"Is it trying to suck me dry?"

Lei Wen cursed inwardly.

Yet he did not resist.

Luo Ye had told Lei Wen that this was a blessing, not a disaster.

Wealth was sought amid danger.

A transmigrator's intuition was always accurate.

Lei Wen simply let go of his control over the energy in his body and allowed the birthmark to draw from it.

Take it.

Take it all.

As long as you can give me something in return.

As the energy surged in like a flood.

The black lines on the back of his hand began to writhe crazily.

The blurry mark became clearer than ever.

A flash of black light.

All pain vanished instantly.

Replacing it was an icy, profound sensation.

Lei Wen raised his hand.

By the reflection from the snow below, he clearly saw the image.

It was a head.

Only a head, without a body.

Its enormous mouth occupied two-thirds of the entire head.

Its eyes were like lanterns, glowing with a deep and sinister light.

Two curved horns pointed straight toward the heavens, as though they wished to pierce the sky.

A ferocious mark.

A gluttonous beast.

It was clearly only a flat pattern.

Yet it gave people the illusion that it might break free at any moment and devour someone.

"Devour... er..."

The two words slipped uncontrollably from Lei Wen's lips.

This was not the language of this world.

It was the tongue of Lei Wen's previous life.

Moxie.

That was a legendary ancient beast—the Devourer.

One of the Dragon's nine sons, the Devourer was among them.

Violent by nature, with an astonishing appetite, it devoured everything.

Before Lei Wen could fully process the information.

Boom!

A massive torrent of information crashed brutally into his sea of consciousness.

There was no familiar guidance, nor any system notification.

It was simply raw information pouring in.

His brain felt as if someone had stuffed a burning-hot stone into it.

Lei Wen groaned and fell from the sky.

A moment later.

That dizzying sensation slowly faded.

Lei Wen straightened up again, and the light in his eyes was a hundred times brighter than before.

It even carried a trace of madness.

He finally understood.

That birthmark was the manifestation of the Devourer's Form.

For twenty years, it had remained dormant, accumulating strength.

Only after Lei Wen broke through to the Saint Domain did the Devourer's Form briefly awaken.

And the Devourer's Form's feedback was to help Lei Wen improve his body, Spirit Qi, and soul.

Now.

As Lei Wen stepped into the Saint Domain, the power of his soul awakened this dormant entity.

It had awakened.

Though only briefly.

The ability it bestowed upon Lei Wen left even a transmigrator like him numb with shock.

Devouring.

Not merely swallowing objects in the physical world.

As long as it consumed anything containing sufficient energy, whether Flagrant Beast flesh or heavenly treasures, no matter what it was.

The Devourer's Form could refine it into the purest energy, strengthening Lei Wen's body, Spirit Qi, and soul.

But that was merely the most basic ability.

The Devourer's Form's core, and most terrifying, ability was—

Seizing insights.

If he devoured a Saint Domain Flagrant Beast.

Lei Wen would have a chance to extract fragments of insight into the innate techniques and laws contained within that beast's flesh and blood essence.

There would naturally be losses.

It naturally would not be one hundred percent complete.

But those were fragments of laws and mysteries!

In this world, what was the most precious thing?

Insight into laws.

How many people remained stuck at the Saint Domain for thousands of years, forever unable to glimpse the threshold of godhood?

How many god-level experts spent countless years merely to comprehend and fuse two or three laws and mysteries?

Yet Lei Wen...

He only needed to eat.

This was practically cheating.

He had already activated the hack, and he even had to top it up with an acceleration pack?

"Hahaha!"

A thunderous wave of hunger made Lei Wen feel as if his stomach were about to burst.

That was hunger.

An unprecedented hunger.

But it was not the emptiness of his stomach.

Rather, every cell in Lei Wen's body was screaming, I want to eat!

That hunger felt like a man who had starved for three days and three nights suddenly catching the aroma of grilled meat.

Reason teetered on the verge of collapse before that ravenous hunger.

Lei Wen's eyes instantly turned bloodshot.

He let out a low roar and landed on the still-burning mammoth.

Roar!

Lei Wen moved.

Like a cannonball, he instantly landed beside the mammoth.

Without any hesitation.

He did not even take out a dining knife.

Lei Wen directly reached out and tore off a chunk of elephant meat still steaming with heat.

He opened his mouth wide.

And swallowed it.
