Wu Pifu gripped the Deathbound Saber with both hands and looked at a centipede at least ten thousand meters long ahead of him.
This centipede had been following him all morning. Though it had not attacked, it had kept trailing behind him and watching for an opportunity.
Its size was one thing, but the real issue was its vitality.
All creatures in this world possessed excessively vigorous life force, which was why they had grown so enormous.
In terms of life force, this ten-thousand-meter centipede possessed roughly the combined vitality of a hundred thousand blue whales from Earth!
Take the little snake Wu Pifu had eaten earlier, for example. Its flesh already had the effects of several-hundred-year-old mountain ginseng from the Song Dynasty Dream World. Though it could not compare to the Giant Wild Boar Demon by equal weight, there was plenty of it, and its vitality was hundreds of times greater than the Giant Wild Boar Demon's!
This centipede was even more outrageous. Its life force was unbelievably powerful, but its essence was still that of an ordinary insect. It was not a true extraordinary lifeform and possessed no extraordinary path, so its life force naturally leaked away rather than being gathered and cycled inward like Wu Pifu could do through National Arts and Human Immortal Martial Arts.
From Wu Pifu's perspective, whenever the centipede showed hostility or made especially violent movements, a layer of visible white flame would burn across its body. That was the effect of its vitality, so abundant it had reached the extreme, spilling out.
As Wu Pifu gripped the Deathbound Saber, the centipede, which had been eager to make a move, suddenly turned and burrowed underground, vanishing without the slightest hesitation.
"...That alert?" Wu Pifu muttered, sheathing his saber.
Beelzebub flew onto his shoulder
