A Day in the Life of a Glutton!

Little Dragon Girl and Little Flower Fairy stood on his left and right shoulders, respectively.

Ao Xi felt a little nervous. Did this count as intimate contact?

Just then, a voice rang out beside them.

"Big guy, have you gone mad? Making yourself that huge will only draw their attention. Do you want to die?"

“Unbelievable. Why did they send us a big idiot? I told you these Stone Spirit Tribe members were useless. They barely do any damage, and every last one is dumb as a rock.”

"At that size, he's nothing but a target."

Wang Shi turned to look and found several members of the Demon Tribe shooting their mouths off.

Their strength was limited; they were merely Daluo Golden Immortals.

Still, their combat prowess was decent. They controlled a sky full of Dao arts, constantly striking down Fierce Beasts.

Clearly, the fighting had taken a heavy toll on them. Every one of them was panting.

He had no intention of explaining himself to these shortsighted fools.

The fierce battle ahead soon drew his attention instead.

Wang Shi charged straight in and threw a punch, smashing a whole swath of Fierce Beasts into the ground.

But he soon discovered that these Fierce Beasts were as stubborn as sticky taffy. His punch had failed to kill them.

He was somewhat surprised. He knew exactly how powerful his fists were, yet these Fierce Beasts had not been pulverized into bloody pulp. That was rather unusual.

While he stood there in a daze,

countless Fierce Beasts covered Wang Shi's body in the blink of an eye.

Their numbers were so immense that they were almost impossible to deal with.

Wang Shi let out a furious roar, unleashing a shock wave of sound that instantly shook off the Fierce Beasts around him.

Then he sucked in sharply, drawing a huge number of Fierce Beast corpses into his mouth.

He had come here to absorb Pangu origin. Each Fierce Beast could provide only a little, but there were so many of them here!

Meanwhile, Ao Xi and Flower Fairy controlled a water dragon and a giant flower, respectively, constantly clearing Wang Shi's body.

Indeed, they had to keep these Fierce Beasts from attacking Wang Shi's body as much as possible.

The three worked together with remarkable coordination.

They were all powerful fighters, each with their own rhythm of attack.

The defensive line, which had been hanging by a thread, stabilized in an instant.

Since brute strength could do only limited damage to them, he would simply eat them.

Wang Shi's appetite was enormous at that moment. He turned nothing away.

Before long, he had devoured every Fierce Beast in the area.

Although the Fierce Beasts were still attacking at great speed, faced with this tremendous glutton, they seemed unable to deliver themselves fast enough.

Everyone present stared in stunned disbelief.

They had long since forgotten how they had been shooting their mouths off just moments before.

“Heavens, what a powerful Stone Spirit Tribe member! He can actually swallow so many Fierce Beast corpses. What is his stomach made of?”

"Isn't he afraid of being eroded by Baleful Qi? These Fierce Beasts carry incredibly dense Baleful Qi, and it can eat away at the mind. Why does he seem completely fine?"

"What an incredible Stone Spirit! He can actually digest these Fierce Beasts. A real treasure has come our way!"

Everyone's eyes lit up. They were already utterly exhausted, and there were fewer and fewer powerful fighters behind the lines. Their recovery was slow, too, leaving them with the will to fight but not the strength.

Yet Wang Shi was practically holding this defensive line all by himself, giving everyone else time to rest and recover.

Soon, many powerful fighters began tending to themselves. None dared stand on ceremony; a chance to rest like this was simply too rare.

Wang Shi grew rather bored.

Every so often, he picked up a Fierce Beast and examined it closely.

He soon discovered why a single punch could not kill them.

It turned out that these Fierce Beasts were covered in thick layers of hair. The hair looked perfectly ordinary, but on top of that, the beasts had no skeletons.

They were essentially filled with Blood Fiendish Qi.

No wonder sheer strength struggled to kill them. They had been made into something like leather balls—leather balls filled with blood, at that.

It was no wonder the fighting here had been so difficult.

He could vaguely sense a trace of a special Dao on the surface of those hairs.

The hair could greatly weaken the destructive power of Dao arts.

If he could find a way to ignite it directly, things would be much easier.

Ordinary flames probably would not work, though.

And the best flame for dealing with Blood Fiendish Qi was actually Hellfire.

Legend had it that Hellfire was born of Baleful Qi. As long as the Baleful Qi remained, Hellfire would burn forever.

But the Underworld had yet to be established, so Hellfire was out of the question.

Perhaps it existed somewhere in the Primordial World, but the Primordial World was so vast that finding it would be harder than overcoming a thousand trials.

Just then, a powerful fighter hurried over.

"Everyone, the western line is in crisis. May I ask this fellow Daoist of the Stone Spirit Tribe to go and help?"

Wang Shi looked at the quiet battlefield, then addressed the others behind him.

"I'll leave this place to you for now. Just buy as much time as you can. Once I've cleared the west, I'll come back to help."

Like a firefighter, he began rushing from one side to another, constantly helping them stabilize their defensive lines.

In the end, even Little Dragon Girl ran out of strength.

"Brother Stone Spirit, I can't keep going. I need to rest."

"Is your appetite really that big? If you keep eating like this, watch out for a backlash from the Blood Fiendish Qi."

It was no wonder Ao Xi was worried.

Wang Shi had simply kept going for too long.

Wang Shi shook his head helplessly.

"I'm at my limit, too. I need to go digest all this."

As he spoke, he let out a belch, and a surge of Baleful Qi burst out, spraying into the horde of Fierce Beasts.

The dense Baleful Qi instantly corroded the ground, yet it could do nothing to the Fierce Beasts.

Wang Shi found a secluded spot.

He began refining the Pangu origin within his body.

As his body continued to change, the Blood Fiendish Qi inside him began condensing, growing denser and denser.

He knew it was time to let some out.

He just had to choose the right place.

After all, this Baleful Qi was still highly destructive—though only to his own side, of course.

He rose into the air and flew to the marshlands in the south.

Bang, bang, bang!

Huge quantities of Baleful Qi were discharged there, so dense that they almost formed droplets, creating a Baleful Qi Swamp.

The living creatures there were wiped out at once. Its destructive power was truly astonishing.

He gave the place a pained glance and pressed his palms together.

"Amitabha. What a sin, what a sin. Little Shi didn't mean to do it."

He returned to the vicinity of the battlefield once more.

By then, Little Dragon Girl and the others had more or less recovered.

A Messenger was waiting there anxiously.

"Has Fellow Daoist Stone Spirit still not returned? The front line is in crisis. They really can't hold out any longer."

Little Dragon Girl Ao Xi rolled her eyes.

"Didn't you hold out for ages before he came? Why can't you manage now? You're not trying to slack off, are you?"

The Messenger felt helpless. He had only come to relay orders from above. There were some things he did not dare question!

"Please don't make things difficult for me, Fairy. How could a lowly soldier like me have any say in such matters?"

Just then, Wang Shi arrived.

"Let's go. We'll keep clearing out the Fierce Beasts."
