Varimathras had only just seen the scene inside Toad Swallower's belly when the same shock appeared on his face as on the other demon elders.
Too terrifying!
Toad Swallower's opened abdominal cavity could no longer be considered normal flesh and blood.
Overall, it looked more like a large bowl made from dried tree bark.
The internal organs that should have been brimming with demonic blood and demonic energy had all shriveled up like apples left to bake on a branch through an entire summer.
There was not a shred of life left in them.
Though demonic energy still remained within, it was so faint that it seemed liable to disperse at any moment.
Its reserves of demonic energy had been nearly exhausted, and its body was withered like rotten wood.
Combined with what they saw before them, a little deduction was enough to guess what Toad Swallower had gone through.
It must have been a hard-fought battle.
Toad Swallower must have played every last card and exhausted every method at its disposal before finally being killed by Li Yun, reduced to a shriveled corpse...
Hm?
Wait?
Varimathras narrowed his single eye and looked again at the faint demonic energy.
After examining it, he quickly discovered that the source of the demonic energy did not come from Toad Swallower's dried flesh, but from the corpse curled into a ball inside its stomach.
That was strange.
As a member of the Council of Elders, Varimathras was not as familiar with Toad Swallower as the other demon elders, who often followed at its heels.
But he still knew more or less about its most distinctive methods.
Toad Swallower's proudest technique was directly devouring the corpses of other demons, then slowly absorbing the nutrients in those corpses through digestion and making them its own.
