The Devouring Heaven Demon Beast slowly opened its eyes.
Those eyes were pure black.
No whites, no pupils.
Only endless darkness.
Qi Wu's figure was reflected in that darkness.
Man and beast stared at each other for three full seconds.
Then the Devouring Heaven Demon Beast slowly rose from its prone position.
Its enormous body moved like a mountain.
The earth trembled.
Space warped.
But it rose slowly.
Very slowly.
So slowly that Qi Wu even had time to yawn.
"That's it?"
"A legendary monster, and that's all the speed you've got?"
The Devouring Heaven Demon Beast ignored his taunts.

He switched hands.

Black blood gushed out!
The Devouring Heaven Demon Beast let out a low growl.

It merely turned its head and watched Qi Wu with those pure-black eyes.
Qi Wu studied the wound.

It had nearly severed half its neck.

The wound was healing.
