Chapter 443

In Journey to the West, there was Lion Camel Ridge. On Lion Camel Ridge lived three utterly vicious demon kings. The third king was the Roc, clever and cunning, full of schemes. Not only was he highly skilled in combat, he also possessed the terrifying Yin-Yang Two Qi Vase and the vast divine power to soar ninety thousand li with a single flap of his wings. He was one of the very few powerhouses along the entire journey west who truly posed a threat to Brother Monkey's life. The second king was the White Elephant, possessing boundless strength, capable of smashing through cities and uprooting fortresses, unstoppable against anything. Yet the leader of Lion Camel Ridge was the Azure Lion, a demon whose attacks were not especially fierce and whose defenses were not especially formidable.

The Azure Lion's greatest ability was swallowing heaven with its gaping maw. Its mouth was huge, and it could eat a great deal. According to one little demon's boast, it could swallow a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers in one bite. This ability was not particularly useful against the strong, but it was certainly the most imposing. Presumably, its ability to sit in Lion Camel Ridge's top seat had much to do with this divine power.

Eating had always been an ability people valued, in every age and every land. Even in another world, it was no exception.

Watching Sui Xiong swallow the army of divine envoys summoned by the Evil Gods Alliance in a single bite—and actually digest them—the evil gods were all struck dumb with horror. Even the other gods watching the battle could not help feeling a chill in their hearts. Especially those gods who had clashed with Sui Xiong before; their backs went cold, and a trace of dread rose within them.
