336: monster

They suppress everyone and don't allow any race to practice the Divine Path.

Claiming that the Divine Path would destroy the peace and existence of the Universe.

Yet they themselves open up a Star Domain to play around with all sorts of things—that's the Great Clans for you.

Double standards are normal.

Ye Su scratched his head.

In the letter from the future, why did it insist that he must get involved?

Could it be that this path will succeed?

Ye Su didn't believe it.

A complete system isn't that easy to develop.

Moreover.

This path also carries a complete disregard for all ethics.

“Stay here for a day or two? We'll see how things go?”

Ye Su said.

To see what this Path of Disorder was all about.

The black pearl had already arrived.

Those people were so eager to snatch the black pearl; they must have felt the benefits of this path.

Let's see how far everyone has actually progressed.

“Fine.”

Fen Tian said.

An experimental power system.

Whether it succeeds or not, Fen Tian wanted to see it.

Firstly, to increase his own foundation.

Secondly, to get a handle on the Great Clans' dirty secrets.

The two continued forward.

Then they found a dilapidated house.

After kicking out the original owner, they simply took it over.

Night.

The sun went out.

Darkness descended upon the city.

Ye Su and Fen Tian were not sleepy at all.

And in the silent air, heavy breathing gradually appeared.

“It's coming.”

Fen Tian said softly.

Both of them had night vision.

From their perspective.

A strangely shaped existence appeared.

It seemed to be a monster.

It was tall, a full five meters high.

It no longer looked human; its entire body was covered in tumors, with several arms hanging down.

Its head was flat and round, as if embedded in the tumors.

Over eight eyes flickered.

From a bloody, gaping maw, saliva flowed out, soaking half of its body.

A monster!

That was the first impression from their perspective.

But within this monster, there was some kind of unimaginable power!

Vitality?

Not quite; it felt more like Flesh and Blood Power—very peculiar!

“Is it wandering around aimlessly because it lost consciousness?”

Ye Su was curious.

“Don't be in a hurry; it's about to run into another one!”

Fen Tian said.

Soon.

This monster encountered a person.

Indeed.

It was a human.

That person looked up, his eyes already a blood-red.

“Lost consciousness? What an idiot. Is this something you can meddle with?”

Having said that.

His forehead suddenly began to tear open.

A hand reached out from between his brows.

Immediately after.

A grotesque monster, as if tearing through human skin, forced its way out from inside.

It was humanoid.

But it had no skin, only blood-red muscles.

In its gaze, there was little clarity, only madness!

Roar!

Both monsters let out a roar.

Then, it was a fight to the death.

The fighting style was extremely primitive; biting with their large mouths was actually their core method.

And.

It wasn't just simple biting, but eating, devouring!

Yet, strangely.

Both of their bodies possessed terrifying restorative power.

After a wound was bitten out and the opponent's flesh was swallowed.

Their own wounds would quickly repair themselves.

Thus.

This biting and devouring formed a long-term tug-of-war.

Feeding.

Feeding.

Feeding.

Constant feeding.

The opponent was like a rare delicacy.

Blood flowed, and flesh splattered.

Aside from devouring in large gulps.

The two had almost no other means.

Wounds appeared, then healed.

Even.

The wounds of both would fuse and heal together.

Then tear apart again as they moved.

“That's so damn disgusting.”

Ye Su felt a bit nauseous.

“Look at the blood on the ground.”

Fen Tian said.

Only then did Ye Su observe.

He saw the blood on the ground moving like a living thing, surging toward the opponent.

Then, through the skin, it returned to their own bodies.

This left the ground incredibly clean.

No blood or flesh remained.

“Every night, the devouring continues, but because of these characteristics, no trace of human tragedy is left behind?”

Ye Su thought to himself.

This path is so damn disgusting.

For a full two hours.

The two had been feeding for an unknown amount of time.

Finally.

The Flesh and Blood Power of the monster that had lost its human form at the beginning seemed to be exhausted.

It became true food.

It was completely devoured by the humanoid creature.

And that creature.

After finishing the meal.

Turned around, picked up the human skin from the ground, and crawled back in through the forehead.

Slowly.

A lifelike human appeared.

Or rather, it was hard to call such an existence ‘human’ anymore.

“You two...”

That person's aura seemed to have grown stronger by a notch.

He soon discovered Ye Su.

And after finding Ye Su, he naturally found Fen Tian as well.

“It seems you two haven't joined this feast yet.”

He walked over and said.

His tone was peaceful, without any malice.

Ye Su wasn't afraid.

Fen Tian, as an Ascension Six, was enough to hold the fort.

“You... want to chat?”

Ye Su said.

“Sure!”

The man smiled slightly.

The three sat in a small circle.

Ye Su truly had no taboos; logically, he should have stayed away.

But that bit of curiosity was very enticing.

“When you're in that... state, will you eat us?”

Ye Su asked.

It was quite direct, but the other party was even more so.

“No.”

The man said.

“You haven't joined this evolution, so you don't have Evolutionary Power on you. Devouring you has no meaning and no benefit.”

“Oh, Evolutionary Power.”

Ye Su nodded.

“So, this path is meant to create a perfect level of organism or life?”

He shook his head, then nodded.

“There's no such thing as a perfect life.”

“Only the constantly increasing Flesh and Blood Power is real.”

“What exactly is so magical about this Flesh and Blood Power?” Ye Su was truly curious.

“It's simply powerful,” the man said, scratching his head with a somewhat shy expression that couldn't be linked to the monster from before.

“Let's put it this way: the setting of an Ascender is like a Spellblade. No matter how flashy the Secret Techniques or how exquisite the Secret Arts are...”

“They can't change the reality that their bodies are very fragile. But me, the Flesh and Blood Power contained in my body now can block the vast majority of attacks.”

“Even equipment, Battle Armor, or Heavy Armor can hardly compare to my Flesh and Blood Power.”

“And then, if I use the methods of an Ascender, would you say that from a certain perspective, I've become stronger?”

Ye Su pondered.

The fragility of Ascenders was well-known.

That's why there are things like equipment, Battle Armor, and Heavy Armor.

And now, someone has come up with Flesh and Blood Power.

Using Flesh and Blood Power directly as the foundation of defense.

Then such an Ascender would indeed be much stronger.

This feeling.

The path had some merits and ideas.

It's just that when actually carried out...

It was too—unsightly!

“By the way, you two.”

The man grinned and said.

“In the city, there aren't many rules.”

“But it's not entirely without rules.”

“Tomorrow, you must also undergo Flesh and Blood Cultivation, otherwise—”

“Otherwise what?”

Ye Su was curious.

“Otherwise, you'll be eaten!”

He grinned and said with a smile.
