One more catty, one more attribute point

```

Boom!

The purple-red flesh was swallowed by Su Heng as he tilted his head back.

He felt like lightning exploded on his taste buds, spreading through his body in an instant.

Su Heng's muscular body jolted, and his eyes shone as intensely as searchlights, emitting bright light. The spider-shaped abnormalities that had broken through the walls seemed to sense something amiss. Dozens of crimson compound eyes looked up at Su Heng as their sharp limbs scuttled chaotically across the floor.

They were frightened by the light bursting from Su Heng's eyes.

At that moment they hesitated, not daring to move forward.

"I thought the flesh of the demons was top-notch, but I didn't expect the flesh of these abnormalities to taste even better," Su Heng hadn't felt such strong emotions in a long time, his heart filled with joy as if he had discovered a new continent.

"Just the flesh of Demon God Residue is this delectable, I wonder what the true Demon God's flavor would taste like," Su Heng marveled.

Looking at the group of spider-shaped abnormalities that seemed frightened, he let out a cold laugh, "It seems that coming to the Golden Crow Mausoleum this time was indeed the right choice."

Even if the heart of the Golden Crow had corroded over the long years.

So many Demon God residues.

The massive amount of attribute points gained from digesting and absorbing them would be enough to elevate Su Heng's Bright Sun Divine Skill to a terrifying level.

"Bring it on!" With that thought, a flash of red light passed through Su Heng's eyes, he opened his mouth wide, no longer hesitating. To him, these spider-shaped abnormalities were no longer twisted horrors but pieces of walking bread, living attribute points.

Boom!

Domineering Dragon·Bitter Sea Thunder Sound!

Dense, burly thunderbolts burst from Su Heng's body, merging into sheets.

The blinding golden light melted everything, like a sun had appeared on the battlefield. When the light faded, a large number of spider-shaped abnormalities lay toppled over, white floors beneath them, emitting wisps of smoke.

Su Heng immediately circulated the Bright Sun Divine Skill and inhaled sharply.

His body glowed, emitting waves of heat, quickly raising the temperature of the entire hall. The ten directions' vital essence converged, and the charred flesh fell from the bodies of the spider-shaped abnormalities, rushing towards Su Heng like a river flowing into the sea, forming a black deluge that he swallowed in one gulp.

With that simple swallow, Su Heng's attribute points on the panel shot up drastically.

The flesh of the Demon God Residues tasted exquisite and was easy to digest.

Furthermore, with the enhanced digestion from Taotie's Stomach and the Bright Sun Divine Skill, it was almost instantly broken down and absorbed upon entering Su Heng's body.

Just one mouthful and several hundred attribute points were credited to his account, as if he were cheating.

Thunder rumbled from within Su Heng's body, essence surged, and waves of heat swept through the air. The twisting air around him formed tangible red smoke. Coupled with his bronze skin glowing a faint red, muscles bulging and veins popping, he looked like a walking volcano, utterly ferocious.

After a few more mouthfuls, Su Heng's body visibly grew in size.

The remaining spider-shaped abnormalities, with little capacity for thought, still recognized that the creature before them was not to be trifled with under that terrifying pressure.

They turned to escape, but Su Heng, now in a frenzy like Taotie come to life, bellowed, "Where do you think you're running to!" His roar echoed like thunder, stirring up a fierce wind in the hall, shaking the walls and columns, and cracks spread.

Find adventures on empire

The spider-shaped abnormalities fell to the ground limply as if struck, unable to move.

Su Heng laughed wildly, rushed forward, and in a flash, the ground was littered with corpses, a violent storm of blood and gore in his wake.

"Hahaha, exhilarating!" Su Heng laughed heartily, his hair dancing wildly, covered in blood, bathing in the black gale. The thousands of attribute points just gained were immediately invested in his Bright Sun Divine Skill by Su Heng, strengthening his six organs and further enhancing his digestive capacity.

His rampage, a spectacular slaughter, naturally drew the ire of some powerful creatures within this great hall.

Crack!

Noises came from the ceiling above, and cracks spread.

Then countless huge stones fell from the heavens, crashing down and stirring up clouds of dust.

Two terror-inducing abnormalities, over a hundred meters long and with bodies as thick as train carriages, appeared in the narrow corridor, writhing and squeezing against each other, their frenzied friction creating ear-piercing screeches and showers of sparks, filling all space with the intent to crush Su Heng into minced meat.

These two centipede abnormalities were indeed horrifying, with bodies as if forged from metal, unbelievably hard and solid.

Even with all his strength, a kick from the normal Su Heng could only leave a dent on them,

rather than splitting them in half.

"To take a hit from me in my normal state is enough to be proud of."

Roar!

— The very next moment.

A dragon's cry shook the heavens as Su Heng activated his Dragon Blood.

Blood boiled and energy surged as he executed the Domineering Dragon Secret Method.

First, faint cyan winds formed out of nowhere, then shot out in all directions.

Regardless of how hard the carapaces of these spider-shaped abnormalities were, they couldn't withstand the power of the Secret Technique and Dragon Blood. The iron-hard shells shattered and burst open, along with the flesh beneath, spilling copious amounts of blood everywhere.

The two centipede abnormalities wailed in agony, their bisected bodies struggling violently at first, then becoming still, before finally collapsing to the ground with a thud, motionless.

"Huh!"

Su Heng closed his eyes and formed a seal with his hands.

Once more, he utilized the Bright Sun Divine Skill, refining the essence of the environment around him.

After a short moment, Su Heng opened his eyes, his body having grown even larger. The two spider-shaped abnormalities had vanished without a trace, leaving only their thick skeletal remains and fragments of black-gold armor standing amid the ruins, exuding a fierce and deadly aura.

"What's the next move?" Su Heng searched the hall thoroughly.

Confirming there was no remaining Demon God Residue, he frowned, considering his next course of action.

The information provided by Zhao Yingning contained the precise location of the Golden Crow Secret Store and also a Golden Crow Feather for opening the store, which was an unexpected delight.

However, the internal structure of this vast mausoleum still required Su Heng to explore on his own.

Luckily, his strength was substantial.

And he wasn't afraid of the contamination from these remnants of Demon Gods, allowing him to roam freely within the secret store.

The only thing to consider was that he had to find the remains of the Golden Crow before the King of the Great Peng Country did. Even if the King succeeded in obtaining the Golden Crow remains, Su Heng was not afraid—he was confident to that extent.

But if such a thing truly happened, it would inevitably lead to many unnecessary complications. He still needed to gather more information and accelerate his actions.

"This great hall might just reveal Qin Shunying's whereabouts."

"Qin Shunying was gravely injured and couldn't have gone far. If I can offer this woman to the King, it will surely count as a great achievement."

The muffled sound of conversation came through the walls, faint and distinct.

These two demon creatures apparently hadn't expected anyone else to be inside the secret store, so they didn't bother to lower their voices as they chatted casually.

On the other hand, Su Heng inside was somewhat surprised.

"Qin Shunying! Is it the one I know? How could she be here?"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Never mind. First, catch her and torture her for information," Su Heng thought and, with a *bang*, threw a punch, smashing through the wall. The wall collapsed with a boom, dust flying everywhere as Su Heng emerged from the debris into the main hall supported by pillars of white gold.

The great doors at the end of the hall were pushed open, and two figures entered.

To the left, a figure with double wings on its back and a round face with large eyes, whose gaze was sharp, was the Purple Owl Lord, known for its top-tier speed among the many lords of the Demon Country. The other, a tall and burly figure with rough skin like old bark and a crown of lush blood-colored leaves atop its head, eyes also blood-red, had a fierce countenance and was the Bloodvine Lord, known for its formidable combat capabilities.

The Bloodvine Lord, pushing open the door, noticed the signs of battle within the hall and immediately smiled, bursting into laughter, "Heavens favor us, I didn't expect to actually find traces of that girl, Qin Shunying. How delightful!"

"Wait!" The Purple Owl Lord, with keen senses, halted its steps, wearing a look of surprise, "Something's off about this hall."

"What's off about it?"

The Bloodvine Lord, relying on his outstanding combat prowess, appeared unconcerned.

He took a step forward and the ground trembled intensely. The wall in front of him suddenly collapsed with a crash, clouds of dust billowing as a figure with long hair over its shoulders stepped out from the inner corridor. His gaze was calm but powerful, swiftly sweeping over the two of them, finally resting on the Bloodvine Lord in front of him.

Upon seeing Su Heng, the Bloodvine Lord was also taken aback.

"It's not Qin Shunying," he growled in annoyance. "Boy, how did you get in here? Are you also a descendant of the Farhope lineage? The aura on you doesn't quite match."

"This Qin Shunying you speak of, is she the Big Sister of Fiery Sun Sect?" instead of answering, Su Heng asked calmly.

"Damn it, I am asking you a question. Who allowed you to dodge the topic!" The Bloodvine Lord's face contorted with rage, donning a superior air as if he looked down upon all beings. He treated Su Heng as an intruder who didn't deserve attention.

"Heh," Su Heng chuckled coldly, "Soon you will be kneeling before me, begging to answer my questions."

"Ignorant fool, daring to spout such madness in my presence."

Though the Bloodvine Lord was a plant-like demonic creature that had reached enlightenment, he had an extremely volatile temper, and at this moment he was boiling with anger, "I'll see that I don't strangle you—"

The dust behind Su Heng gradually dissipated.

In the corridor, the remains of hundreds, if not thousands, of Demon Gods piled up like a mountain. Especially the two hundred-meter-long centipede-like abnormalities, which even in death—leaving behind nothing but bare bones and carapaces—still exuded an intensely chilling aura.

Unlike Su Heng.

There are lords in the Demon Country who practice using these remnants of Demon Gods.

The Bloodvine Lord did not follow this path but was aware of the formidable strength of these creatures.

They had extreme vitality, bones as hard as steel, and their contamination was highly troublesome. Even lords could suffer greatly if they clashed with these creatures unawares—they might sustain damage to their cultivation or even die on the spot, with their paths annihilated.

But now, these remnants of Demon Gods had been slaughtered indiscriminately, and the remains of those two massive centipede-like abnormalities lay among them.

Su Heng crossed his arms in front of his chest, chuckling coldly, his eyes filled with killing intent.

The Bloodvine Lord's expression went from one of murderous intent to becoming rigid, then to innocence, and finally, he barely forced a smile, "Hahaha, just now I was blind to not recognize Mt. Tai's greatness. I will take my leave first. Please, young hero, do not take offense."

The Bloodvine Lord smiled awkwardly, slowly turning around.

Just to see the Purple Owl Lord already turning into a black streak, bolting toward the door behind him, not forgetting to sharply close it behind him.

As the doorframe shook violently, scattering dust, the heart of the Bloodvine Lord also sank to its lowest point, never to rise again.

The Bloodvine Lord: "..."
