The giant蛟蛇, with its two small, round eyes gleaming with bloodlust, stared at Chu Tian and the sphere.
Its gaze, as it observed the cage that imprisoned the Dragon of Devourment, held a hint of question. This was because it sensed a familiar dragon aura, far more potent than any they had absorbed.
Just as Chu Tian was about to speak, the Dragon of Devourment spoke first.
"Hahaha… you bunch of little maggots! You've been stealing my origin for so long, it's time for it to be returned!"
The Dragon of Devourment's voice echoed, causing immediate unrest among the surrounding jiaos.
"Who dares speak so arrogantly? This dragon qi was bestowed upon us for cultivation by the Grand Ancestor Qiankun! How can you claim it was stolen from you?"
The massive蛟蛇, presumably the leader of the jiao clan, was the one who spoke. With it present, the other jiaos remained silent.
"Hmph… bestowed by the Grand Ancestor Qiankun? Heh heh… you little maggots, are you the ones who stole it and then reported yourselves? You know the truth best! But… no need to dwell on it. Return it to me… Devour!"
The Dragon of Devourment clearly had no intention of wasting words. With a furious roar, everyone felt the colossal sphere transform into something akin to a black hole. A powerful suction emanated from it. However, this attractive force could not affect Chu Tian.
The jiaos, on the other hand, fared very differently.
"Aoo… Roar… No…"
In the blink of an eye, they were thrown into disarray. Countless streaks of dark light shot into the sky. Amidst this dark light, Chu Tian sensed the potent origin of the dragon, its aura identical to that of the Dragon of Devourment.
At this very moment, the massive jiao leader was also filled with terror. It thrashed its enormous body, attempting to flee. Chu Tian sensed its cultivation was at the early stage of the God of War realm. It was undoubtedly powerful, extremely powerful! Yet, it was utterly useless. No matter how strong its cultivation, it was now futile. The dragon qi that had once provided them with strength now溢散 from their bodies uncontrollably.
To think that there were such intelligent demonic beasts with such cultivation on this Blue Star. Chu Tian watched it all unfold, unsure how to intervene. He didn't particularly want to intervene, either. These jiaos were not good creatures. It was better to let the Dragon of Devourment annihilate them, and then he could deal with the dragon himself.
In an instant, the dragon qi had vanished from the bodies of these reptiles, but the devouring did not stop. Traces of life origin energy, seminal fluid, were being extracted, all flowing towards the Dragon of Devourment. The Dragon of Devourment's aura rapidly increased: mid-stage God of War… late stage… peak, advancing to Saint Body. Early stage Saint Body… mid-stage… late stage… peak.
In a flash, Chu Tian regretted his decision. This creature's cultivation was breaking through too quickly. He felt a sense of dread, realizing things had escalated dramatically. His controlled mecha slowly retreated. It seemed that if things truly went south, he would have to make a run for it. The Dragon of Devourment had actually broken through to the Void Realm, and its aura was still growing.
Bang, bang, bang…
The jiaos in the sky… suddenly, bursts of sound echoed. Chu Tian looked intently. Those figures, their life force completely drained, exploded into dust. In an instant, the sky above the island became a hazy gray, slowly descending and turning to dust.
Was this the ability of the Dragon of Devourment? It was too terrifying… At this moment, Chu Tian dared not underestimate the Dragon of Devourment that was imprisoned. Having broken free from the altar's constraints, the cage only imprisoned its physical body but could not stop it from using its abilities. He surmised it would soon break free from its cage.
Crack, crack, crack…
Suddenly, Chu Tian heard crisp sounds from around his body. His attention had been focused elsewhere, and he hadn't noticed. The light on the metal of the single-soldier combat mecha he wore was gradually disappearing. The current sounds finally drew his attention.
"Holy shit…" Chu Tian couldn't help but curse. This Dragon of Devourment could even devour the energy from metal.
Crack…
At this very moment. The sturdy mecha… directly shattered, also turning into dust. Without the mecha, Chu Tian's body lost its stability in the air. A massive pulling force seized him, drawing him towards the Dragon of Devourment! Chu Tian's heart sank, wondering if he was going to die here.
"Hahaha… human little ant, as a reward for releasing me, I shall keep you until the very end, a show of grace! Now… become one with me!" The Dragon of Devourment, seeing Chu Tian still struggling, burst into laughter!
"Grace to your ancestors… Bear Form, Transformation – Ancient Demigod…"
Hummm…
As Chu Tian roared, a beam of moonlight cascaded from the sky, focusing on Chu Tian. Chu Tian's figure instantly grew, reaching a thousand meters tall. His body, like Mount Tai bearing down, kicked out towards the Dragon of Devourment.
Boom…
Crack, crack, crack…
Violent sounds erupted on the island. A shockwave sent water splashing from the waterspout that circled the island. Chu Tian's kick interrupted the Dragon of Devourment's skill. Simultaneously, this kick snapped eight chains. The sphere containing the Dragon of Devourment swung like a pendulum in the air, only to be yanked back by the remaining chains.
"You get out here for me…" Chu Tian extended his strong forearm, grabbing the cage with both hands. He realized that his kick hadn't truly injured the Dragon of Devourment inside; the entire force had been absorbed by the iron cage.
Crack, crack, crack…
Under Chu Tian's strenuous tearing, the sphere, which shone with dark light, groaned under the strain, emitting cracking sounds.
"Little ant, what kind of monster are you?" Although his previous kick hadn't truly harmed it, the Dragon of Devourment had been violently tossed around inside. Through the gaps, it gazed at Chu Tian's current form, a hint of fear appearing in its eyes. Chu Tian's current aura made it uneasy. It was, after all, at the peak of the late Void Realm. What level had this monster reached?
However, this astonishment only flickered across the Dragon of Devourment's face.
"No matter what kind of monster you are… your powerful energy will be my nourishment!" As it spoke, the Dragon of Devourment unleashed its devouring power. The Dragon of Devourment feared nothing more than fighting opponents of higher cultivation. With its devouring ability, it could wear down others until they perished.
The sudden, immense suction caused Chu Tian's massive body to tremble violently. He instantly felt the ancient energy being injected into him rapidly draining away. Chu Tian's face turned ashen. The Dragon of Devourment was so powerful.
"Yueyue, transform into Ursoc's Claws…" Chu Tian shouted. This Dragon of Devourment was hiding in the cage, and all his attacks were blocked by it, unable to land. Although he found the cage incredibly sturdy, he couldn't open it in a short time with his own strength. It definitely wouldn't break out immediately. However, who knew when it might break free? It was best to crush it now. After all, it had calculated against him.
