A colossal creature rose from the ground and devoured King and his lovers in one gulp. King and his lovers tried to resist but couldn’t because once inside the worm’s mouth, it was like they had entered a different world where the concept of Qi was non-existent. Even the energy in their dantians couldn’t be used, like it was completely sealed.
Chomp! Crunch! Crunch Crunch!
Everything happened in a blink of an eye, in an instant, everything had already ended.
The roof of the house collapsed as a naked muscular man entered from there with an angry expression. He was holding a iron rod two meters long.
He swung the rod at the worm’s head, the wind whistled and space trembled when rod was swung. The worm grabbed at the rod with its claw and the naked man snickered.
’Trying to grab the rod with the same weight as dozens of worlds, how foolish! I’ll start by crushing your arm before cracking open your ugly head!’ thought Mountain.
But things didn’t go as Mountain had planned, not only wasn’t the worm’s arm completely crushed, it actually grabbed the iron without difficulty, not that he could see it and threw him and the rod inside its mouth before burrowing underground and disappearing.
A few seconds later, Sniper, Grey and Baldy entered the house but everything was already over. The was a hole on the floor but the ground was completely intact. The group was thus confused about what had happened or where everyone had gone.
[Underground! It’s underground!!] shouted Baldy.
[Earth Shattering Buddha Palm!]
A massive fissure hundreds of thousands of kilometres deep in the shape of a human palm was formed but there was no sign of the culprit. There weren’t even traces of the direction he might have taken so they couldn’t chase him.
"Guys, check your System Notifications! I think we’ve been attacked by another System User like us!" said Baldy.
"What?! Tell us quickly!" said
"There’s an extra notification about another System User who was detected a month ago! I thought it was the usual notification so I ignored it, no, I didn’t even realise it because I was busy..."
"It’s not your fault, we became careless and dropped our guards and these are the results. This should be a reminder to never be careless or too relaxed. Baldy, kick out the bitches, only by paying with Heavenly Merit Strings will they be allowed in here."
"Okay, I’ll do it right now!"
"Sniper, prepare yourself. We’re going to eradicate all the demons in the near future!"
"Sure, I’ll prepare right now. Damn it!"
"We didn’t get to see King’s new Gu and what they are capable of. From his words, they would be able to exterminate all the demons if given enough time."
"There’s no use crying over spilt milk. We just have to be careful of that System User and figure out what kind of system he or she has. And I’m sure we’ll locate him or her soon, as long as they are here, they are also enemies of the demons!"
Deep underground where the Nether Tree Roots coalesced around the ominous sphere, a beetle larvae slept peacefully there. Its body was also shrinking and turning more and more human.
Xong Zixin as a beetle larvae had very high Earth Elemental Affinity and could manipulate it in incredible ways. Not only could he easily dig through the ground, he could also easily fill up the holes and burrows he dug perfectly by manipulating the earth. This was how he escaped without leaving traces behind, the burrows closed themselves behind him perfectly.
As more time passed, Zixin’s larvae body kept shrinking and transforming until he was ten meters tall and looked quite scary. He had a larvae head, six clawed arms and muscular legs. His skin was ink black and hairy, making him look like a terrifying humanoid monster.
[If not for the System Notification, how long would it have taken me to regain consciousness?] he said to himself with an eerie and creepy voice.
This whole time, it was his instincts that were controlling his body, his consciousness was still asleep at that time and it was only after he received the System Notifications that his consciousness woke up.
[Not bad. Swallowing the Nether Tree’s impurities has greatly increased my strength. By demon standards, I’m a Rank 9 Demon (Saint) but I don’t feel like before. My demon and dragon bloodlines have been completely suppressed and assimilated into my Primordial Horned Giant Dung Beetle Bloodline. In fact, I shouldn’t even be calling myself a Demon because I’m now a Battle Beast, a Saint Battle Beast.]
Zixin obtained three things from the Dragon Bloodline, Dragon’s Breath, Dragon’s Heart and Dragon Steps. From the Vampire Bloodline, he obtained the Vampire, he obtained Blood Explosion, Blood Sense and Sound Amplification. From the numerous Physique Cultivation Techniques, he obtained the Totem Imprint, Metal Devourer, Flame Devour, Tribulation Lightning Devourer and Blood Essence Extract and Assimilate.
His race was no longer just the Primordial Horned Giant Dung Beetle but was now the Primordial Seal Giant Horned Dung Beetle. He obtained the Sealed Domain, Sealed Primordial Body, Beetle Strength, Earth Elemental Manipulation(Temporary), Impurity Sense and Impurity Devourer and Racial Suppression.
All these abilities were now Innate Abilities that his bloodline had assimilated into itself. Now, Zixin no longer needed to activate skills or cultivation techniques to use them. After learning this information, Zixin was completely astounded and wondered if he could assimilate more cultivation techniques into his bloodline to get more Innate Abilities.
The most broken Innate Ability was the Impurity Devourer which had helped him increase his strength to its current level. He could now devour impurities from anything that had them in order to increase his strength. The greatest boon was devouring the Nether Tree’s Impurities which he was yet to finish digesting. His strength was constantly increasing even now.
Once Zixin grabbed you, if you’re a Qi Cultivator then you’re fucked. Your dantian would be sealed and you also couldn’t use Qi in the environment nor sense it. Your only chance of survival was if your strength wasn’t just Qi based.
