"Help me, all of you!"
Suddenly, a mysterious figure with a formidable aura roared. As soon as his words fell, he transformed into a colossal, heaven-devouring beast, opening its bloody maw towards the dozens of Immortal Emperors. Thick streams of blood essence continuously poured into the beast's body.
"Ah, no!"
"Why? We were loyal and devoted. Why?"
Cries of agony filled the air. Soon, the dozens of Immortal Emperors were reduced to withered skeletons before dissipating into the void.
The remaining seven individuals, witnessing this, felt their pupils constrict.
"Devourer, you…"
Without another word, the colossal beast turned its gaze towards the other seven.
"Run!"
One of them exclaimed, fleeing towards the edge of the world. However, Gu Changsheng had already sealed this world. No one could enter or leave except for him.
Instantly, the entire world echoed with desperate screams. As each scream faded, a heaven-devouring beast exuding an incredibly terrifying aura appeared before Gu Changsheng, its power even surpassing that of the Ancestral Dragon and the Kun Peng.
Seeing this scene, Gu Changsheng did not intervene.
Why, you ask?
Because the heaven-devouring beast before him was not in human form, and he had yet to taste the meat of a beast stronger than the Ancestral Dragon.
Such an opportunity was rare. Why would he stop it?
"Hahahaha, such immense power! Had I known this earlier, I should have devoured them when they were at their strongest. Perhaps then, I could have surpassed even my master."
The heaven-devouring beast roared with laughter, causing the entire world to collapse. Then, it turned its gaze towards Gu Changsheng, its eyes filled with a predatory glint.
"As long as I devour you, I will surely surpass the Dao Breaker, surpass my master! Die!"
The heaven-devouring beast lunged at Gu Changsheng with its gaping maw. But at that moment, a strange scene unfolded.
The azure robe that Gu Changsheng had always worn began to emit dazzling rays of light. Auras surged forth—the gears of fate, the river of time, the decrees of causality, and the spatial dimensions… The very essence of countless Daos could be sensed on Gu Changsheng's robe.
The aura emanating from the azure robe instantly froze the heaven-devouring beast in mid-air.
"Impossible! Just who are you?"
The heaven-devouring beast sensed an aura that transcended its understanding, and its eyes revealed utter terror. It couldn't even defeat a piece of the other's clothing.
Three thousand Great Daos… three thousand was merely an abstract number. In reality, the Daos were boundless, and no one could comprehend them all, not even its supreme master who reigned over the three thousand Chaos realms.
But what was it seeing? The essence of countless Daos had become this person's clothing, seemingly willingly. This… how was this possible?
"Me? Just a passing Human Saint Emperor who happened to stumble upon your deformed world!"
As Gu Changsheng's voice faded, the heaven-devouring beast felt darkness engulf it. It had been transported to an unfamiliar world, and to its horror, it discovered that its cultivation had been sealed, rendering it completely immobile.
"Damn it! Release me!"
The heaven-devouring beast roared skyward, but no matter how it struggled, it was all in vain.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, the heaven-devouring beast felt as if several knives had been plunged into its back. With its cultivation sealed, the pain that would normally be no more than a mosquito bite felt magnified countless times, causing it unbearable agony.
"Let's start by cutting off a few dozen pounds to see how it tastes. If it's good, you might have a chance to live."
Gu Changsheng's voice echoed throughout this world. This world had been temporarily created by Gu Changsheng for the sole purpose of raising this heaven-devouring beast. If the beast's meat was delicious, he wouldn't mind keeping it around. Always cutting meat from the Ancestral Dragon and the Kun Peng felt a little… well, he felt a little bad about it.
"Damn you! You dare to treat me like livestock?"
The heaven-devouring beast roared in fury. How could it not understand Gu Changsheng's intentions? But the situation was already set. Its cultivation was sealed, and it couldn't even move, let alone commit suicide.
As for biting its tongue to kill itself?
It subtly sensed its earlier wound, which had already healed. Clearly, Gu Changsheng had retained its ability to rapidly heal. Even if it bit its tongue, it would only be adding to its pain.
The heaven-devouring beast struggled and roared incessantly, but no matter how it struggled or roared, the entire world remained as silent as death, with only it as the sole living being.
Meanwhile, Gu Changsheng stood within the deformed world and spoke to the void, "Aren't you coming out yet?"
As soon as his words fell, a wisp of purple energy emerged from the void, appearing before Gu Changsheng with a look of grievance.
"Because of your playful nature, you not only almost destroyed yourself but also nearly dragged the Ancestral Dragon and the Kun Peng down with you."
Gu Changsheng glared at the wisp of Hongmeng Purple Energy. Clearly, it was this Hongmeng Purple Energy that had brought the Ancestral Dragon and the Kun Peng here.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"
A thought was conveyed, seemingly an apology.
"Forget it. I won't bother with you. Hurry up and leave. Go find whoever you need to find!"
Gu Changsheng waved his hand, opening a gap. Upon seeing this, the Hongmeng Purple Energy immediately darted out.
With that, Gu Changsheng was the only one left in the entire world.
Gu Changsheng looked at this world filled with chaotic energy and sneered, "Neither ghost nor god, truly disgusting."
"Hmph!"
As the cold snort echoed, the entire world began to shatter. Soon, this deformed world was filled with chaos and utterly destroyed.
"Boss, you're too fast, aren't you?"
At this moment, the Ancestral Dragon and the Kun Peng, only their souls remaining, emerged. The difference was that the Ancestral Dragon was surrounded by purple energy, clearly having obtained the Hongmeng Purple Energy earlier.
Gu Changsheng looked at the Ancestral Dragon's soul and sneered, "Just because you've lost your physical body doesn't mean I won't hit you. You're the one who's fast!"
"Uh… Boss, you've misunderstood. I meant you're too amazing. You wiped out all the enemies in such a short time," the Ancestral Dragon quickly explained. He didn't want his dragon soul to be destroyed by Gu Changsheng's slap. An undying dragon soul was only relatively undying.
"Alright, go back and recuperate," Gu Changsheng waved his hand, but in the next moment, he said, "Wait, I'll treat you to something."
As he spoke, Gu Changsheng took out the meat he had cut from the heaven-devouring beast. He hadn't sealed the meat in the outside world, so the aura emanating from it startled the Ancestral Dragon and the Kun Peng the moment it appeared. The owner of this meat was actually a bit stronger than them.
"Come on, quickly try it. It's good for your injuries," Gu Changsheng said hurriedly.
"Boss, you're not trying to get us to test the flavor for you, are you?" The Ancestral Dragon looked at Gu Changsheng suspiciously.
Seeing that the Ancestral Dragon had seen through his thoughts, Gu Changsheng's face didn't change at all. He righteously said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Am I that kind of person? I'm doing this for your own good. This meat can speed up the process of you condensing your physical bodies. You don't want it? Fine, I'll just go back and eat it slowly myself."
After saying that, Gu Changsheng pretended to leave.
"Wait, Boss, I was just saying. Why are you so serious? Fine, I'll eat it, okay?"
As soon as the Ancestral Dragon finished speaking, he condensed a weak physical body and devoured several pounds of meat without caring whether it was cooked or raw. He was covered in blood and said, "Boss, I don't know if it suits your taste, but this meat really suits mine. Is there any more?"
At this moment, the Ancestral Dragon's physical body had also solidified a bit.
"No more. You ate it all," Gu Changsheng said with a straight face.
"…"
The Ancestral Dragon and the Kun Peng were speechless. They would only believe that if hell froze over.
"Fine, I'll give you a little!"
Gu Changsheng waved his hand, giving each of them several hundred pounds, and then said, "Recuperate well. You're too weak right now. The meat won't taste good."
The Ancestral Dragon and the Kun Peng were quite touched when they heard the first part, but when they heard the last sentence, they couldn't help but think, 'Boss, you really didn't have to say that out loud.'
"I'm leaving!"
Gu Changsheng waved his hand and left contentedly. He not only gained a supreme formation but also obtained a heaven-devouring beast that could provide an endless supply of ingredients. It was a bountiful harvest!
More things like this should happen!
