This Was an Extreme Ability to Begin With

"If anyone saw this Devouring Domain, I'm afraid all the Soul Masters in the world would rise up and attack me."

"No, not just the Soul Masters. The soul beasts would probably do the same."

"It might even draw Di Tian himself out to eliminate a huge threat like me."

Although Su Ming said this in a joking tone,

he knew very well that it might not be far from the truth.

The power of devouring sounded terrifying, and it truly was terrifying in use.

But what genuinely frightened living beings was mainly what kind of species possessed such an ability.

Even if an incredibly weak ice silkworm possessed a powerful devouring ability, what could it do?

It would still be the worthless creature at the bottom of the Extreme North's food chain, something anyone could take a bite out of.

Even if, over countless years, an ice silkworm truly managed to rise through devouring, it would only be an extreme exception.

Like Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who had relied on good fortune and eating his way to a million years of cultivation—it simply could not be treated as a common case.

The reason was simple. Reality was cruel, and natural enemies were everywhere.

This was not some game where one could develop steadily and safely stage a comeback.

To play the devouring card well, it had to be supported by many other things.

The most fundamental point was that one had to be strong enough oneself.

Otherwise, if one only focused on devouring and piling up cultivation without possessing any means of self-defense, how would that differ from fish on a chopping block, ready to be slaughtered?

Hmm, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was still a fitting example.

In a sense, I'm equivalent to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger of the soul beast world.

Although I'm not as evil or violent as the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, my growth potential is about the same. It's only natural that others would fear me.

Su Ming thought of a type of soul beast that had been exterminated in this world.

Of course, he was not sure whether it still existed in this era.

It was the Ten-Thousand-Year Dark Demon Evil God Tiger that Tang San had killed ten thousand years ago.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was evil and violent by nature, and it possessed extremely high intelligence.

Precisely because of this, it was rejected by nearly all soul beasts. Whenever they encountered one, they would want nothing more than to kill it on sight.

But among the countless soul beast races, were there really no others as violent and evil as the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger?

Then why had only the exceedingly rare and scarce Dark Demon Evil God Tiger been driven to extinction?

The answer was the terrifying devouring ability of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger clan.

Due to the supremely evil attribute left behind by the Evil God, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger clan possessed an exceptionally domineering innate trait.

Although they found it difficult to increase their cultivation through ordinary cultivation, they could continuously devour other races to rapidly raise their own cultivation.

And that was what made the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger feared by other races.

Once a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger grew up, other races would truly have no chance of survival.

"The middle way is the true path to survival," Su Ming said with heartfelt emotion.

When the devouring talent was placed in an extremely weak creature, it did not have much effect.

Because after devouring and devouring, once that weak creature grew stronger, it would become nourishment for someone else.

Likewise, when the devouring talent was placed in an exceptionally monstrous creature, the outcome was not much better.

Because it would be feared by others and subjected to frenzied extermination.

Regardless of whether that creature was evil or not.

One only had to look at what happened to Demon Empress's family.

After the former Million-Year Deep Sea Demonic Whale King died, all the Sea Soul Beasts began hunting down Demon Empress and her daughter.

Did they not know that Demon Empress had once been incomparably kind?

Of course they knew, but they did not dare take the gamble.

They chose the most direct and simplest path: better to kill wrongly than let one escape.

Because in the eyes of most living beings, the devouring talent was a ticking time bomb.

Especially after such a talent appeared in an immensely powerful creature, all it inspired in other beings was fear and terror.

But the problem is, devouring was an extreme ability to begin with, Su Ming thought leisurely. Fortunately, my situation is vastly different from those beasts.

When such a terrifying ability was placed in the hands of the weak, it would only turn them into someone else's power bank.

But when it was placed in the hands of the strong, it would invite others' extermination.

Therefore, after most living beings gained the power of devouring, taking the middle path was simply impossible.

But for Su Ming, it was possible.

The reason was very simple. It was not because he was human and could disguise himself better.

Nor was it because this was pure devouring power rather than an evil method like that of evil Soul Masters.

The difference in aura made it difficult for others to identify it...

Nor was it because there would be no problem as long as Su Ming did not reveal this method, or killed every living being that saw it.

It was because Su Ming, as a transmigrator, could see farther ahead and knew how to properly use this ability called devouring.

Douluo World's development in the application of abilities is still far too primitive. Even an ability like devouring has become an utterly evil attribute.

At this moment, Su Ming only felt that his path to godhood could become even faster.

However, with his firm mind, he understood perfectly how he should use this power of devouring.

Becoming the former Dark Demon Evil God Tiger or the former Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was absolutely not something Su Ming wished to see.

Therefore, Su Ming would use the power of devouring on a more proper path, accelerating his road to godhood through it.

As a transmigrator, he knew of the many heavenly treasures that existed on Douluo Continent.

Whether they had owners or not, Su Ming knew of them all.

And those places were the true battlegrounds for the power of devouring.

Icefire Yin Yang Well, devour!

Love God's Inheritance Grounds, devour!

Dragon Tomb, devour...

Su Ming did not even dare imagine how far he would grow after devouring so many things.

"Big brother, aren't you coming over to eat? The grilled fish is about to get cold!"

At that moment, Lan Fozu's call came from the distance.

Hearing this, Su Ming shouted back, "Got it, I'm coming."

With that, Su Ming quickly walked back and began eating dinner.

After dinner, the two entered a suitable cave and fell asleep together.

Su Ming had already inspected the island when he first arrived. There was not even a trace of a soul beast that had begun cultivating, so it was very safe.

Furthermore, after the sea star finished foraging, it would return to the island to protect the two of them, so there was no need for them to keep watch at all.

Thus, after sleeping soundly in the cave,

early the next morning, Su Ming and Lan Fozu once again rode the Ten-Thousand-Year Sea Star and continued toward Salted Fish Village.

"Big brother, tell me more about things back home?"

Leaning against Su Ming's side, Lan Fozu spoke in a coquettish tone.

Seeing this, Su Ming, in high spirits, continued telling her about many things.
