Devouring Domain of Infinite Evolution

Night had fallen over the vast sea.

A gigantic starfish rested beside a small island.

Compared to the relatively safer conditions during the day, the ocean at night was undoubtedly terrifying.

Whether in quantity or quality, Sea Soul Beasts were far more terrifying than those on land.

Even if a ten-thousand-year starfish traveled at high speed at night, it was questionable whether it could protect Su Ming and Lan Fozu.

The starfish itself would probably struggle to survive.

That was precisely why, as the sky darkened, Su Ming had Lan Fozu command the starfish to stop at a nearby island for the night.

At that moment, Su Ming stood by the shore, catching Sea Soul Beasts from the ocean to serve as dinner.

As for Lan Fozu, she stood behind Su Ming, watching the scene with bright eyes.

"Splash..."

Water sprayed into the air as Su Ming used his power to scoop several ten-year butterflyfish out of the sea.

"Little Lan, this is what we're having for dinner tonight." Holding a butterflyfish in his hand, Su Ming waved it toward Lan Fozu behind him.

"Okay, Brother." Lan Fozu nodded.

Butterflyfish might not have strong offensive power, but they were famous for their exceptionally tender meat.

Several ten-year butterflyfish looked like a considerable amount, but they were more than enough for Su Ming and Lan Fozu's dinner.

Next, Su Ming used a water blade to end the butterflyfish's lives. After taking out some seasonings from his storage bracelet, he began grilling the fish over a campfire he had prepared in advance.

"Sizzle... sizzle... sizzle..."

As they roasted, fat burst from the butterflyfish, filling the air with an incomparably delicious aroma.

"It smells so good!" Lan Fozu sniffed lightly, her eyes shining as she stared at the butterflyfish over the campfire.

This would be her first time tasting human food.

That delicious fragrance had already filled Lan Fozu with anticipation.

While Su Ming grilled the fish, the starfish, having traveled all day, temporarily left the island to find food for itself.

"It's done. Eat." After a while, Su Ming picked up a grilled butterflyfish and handed it to Lan Fozu.

"Thank you, Brother." After taking the grilled fish, Lan Fozu immediately dug in.

Seeing her wolfing it down, Su Ming chuckled. "Eat slowly. Don't rush. There are still so many grilled fish. No one's going to fight you for them."

"Mhm, mhm." Lan Fozu replied, her words muffled by food.

Seeing this, Su Ming said nothing more, allowing Lan Fozu to eat in peace.

However, after setting aside the remaining grilled fish, he did not hurry to eat dinner. Instead, he walked back to the shore.

Lan Fozu was wholly focused on the grilled fish, so she did not notice Su Ming leaving.

Su Ming had gone to the shore to test a special ability he had not yet had the chance to test.

"Smack... smack, smack..."

After Su Ming brought a ten-year butterflyfish onto the beach, it frantically slapped against the ground.

Devouring Domain, activate!!

With a thought from Su Ming, the moment the domain unfolded, the space around him rapidly darkened as though ink had been poured into it, spreading outward from his body.

At that moment, Lan Fozu, still eating heartily in the distance, seemed to sense it.

She immediately stopped eating her grilled fish and turned to look over.

The moment Lan Fozu saw Su Ming causing such a commotion, she cried out in surprise:

"Huh? Isn't that the Devouring Talent of our Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan?!"

"I never expected Brother to have inherited our clan's talent too." Lan Fozu exclaimed in delight.

After all, the more Su Ming resembled a member of the Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan, the happier and closer Lan Fozu felt...

As for why the Devouring Talent Su Ming had inherited had become something that activated in the form of a domain, Lan Fozu did not care.

Perhaps it was because Brother Su Ming was human after all.

Thus, when he inherited it, it had likely become more suited to a human body.

It would be wonderful if Brother were a Deep Sea Demon Whale, Lan Fozu thought regretfully.

That way, she and Brother Su Ming would be a perfectly matched pair.

Lan Fozu might look innocent, and she had previously lived only in the ocean with little contact with humans.

But she understood many things and many principles perfectly well.

In Lan Fozu's eyes, since she was living with Su Ming at such a young age, if things went smoothly, their feelings would naturally develop and bring them together in the future.

In the end, they would live sweetly and happily together like her father and mother, then have a child.

Ah, what am I thinking? As she thought on, Lan Fozu's face suddenly flushed red. Mother said I should carefully observe Su Ming's character first, see whether he is worthy of my trust, and only then make a decision.

Why am I already thinking about things so far in the future...

Then, as though she had a guilty conscience, she secretly looked toward Su Ming again.

When she discovered that Su Ming was not looking her way, Lan Fozu first breathed a sigh of relief, yet also felt a little disappointed.

At the same time, Su Ming had obtained the results of his test of the Devouring Domain.

The butterflyfish that had been flopping nonstop on the beach had vanished, as though it had evaporated from the world.

"As expected of the Devouring Domain. It really devours things cleanly, leaving nothing behind."

As he spoke, Su Ming caught another butterflyfish from the sea and began devouring it.

The moment the newly caught butterflyfish entered his Devouring Domain, it seemed to instantly vaporize, completely evaporating and disappearing.

That was right. Like the previous one, this newly caught butterflyfish had been devoured through Su Ming's Devouring Domain.

In turn, an incomparably tiny trace of pure energy, almost negligible, rose within Su Ming's body.

By inheriting the Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan's Devouring Talent and obtaining this Devouring Domain, my future truly holds infinite possibilities!!

After withdrawing the Devouring Domain, Su Ming gazed at the glittering starry sky, his heart filled with boundless emotion.

He truly had not expected to inherit such a terrifying domain.

The Devouring Domain's effect was simple. It had only one: devour what could be devoured and convert it into pure energy to strengthen himself.

Although this domain was not perfect and could not compare with the true Devouring Talent of the Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan, it also had many restrictions.

For instance, activating it consumed a certain amount of power, and not everything could be devoured.

But for Su Ming, it was already enough.

This meant that from this moment onward, Su Ming had become an incomparably terrifying prodigy whose upper limit for growth could not be seen at all.

Not enough Spirit Ring years?

Not enough Spirit Bone years?

Just devour them!!
