Free Web NovelChapter 2160: Chapter 2161: The Path of Evolution
In the blink of an eye.
A single Abyss Demon was devoured alive by Ye Qiu, and the injuries on Ye Qiu’s body began to heal automatically, even his strength improved directly into the late stage of the Void Shattering Realm.
After devouring, Ye Qiu was still somewhat unsatisfied, this feeling of devouring was like savoring a delicious dish.
It made one unable to resist immersing oneself in it.
However, the next second, Ye Qiu’s expression changed dramatically, his demeanor suddenly became clear, realizing what he just did.
Ugh!
Ye Qiu began to vomit, he had actually eaten an Abyss Demon.
This outcome was somewhat unacceptable to him, even though devouring a powerful Abyss Demon strengthened him, Ye Qiu couldn’t bear it.
He really couldn’t adapt.
Ye Qiu dry heaved for half an incense stick’s time, feeling like his stomach was emptied out, but still felt nauseated.
This was Ye Qiu’s psychological reaction, instinctively rejecting this matter in his mind, after all, he never saw himself as a real Abyss Demon, so he couldn’t do this mutual devouring thing like other demons did.
But just now, due to being seriously injured, his mutual response as an Abyss Demon was triggered, leading him to devour the Abyss Demon.
After a good while, Ye Qiu gradually calmed down.
Fortunately, during this period, no other Abyss Demons attacked him, otherwise, it would have worsened the situation.
The main reason was that Ye Qiu had just killed a powerful Abyss Demon, causing other Abyss Demons to know it was the best time to strike but still didn’t dare to make a move.
Ye Qiu silently decided in his heart that he must never devour Abyss Demons again, at least not unless his life is threatened. If he needs to absorb energy from them, he can absorb their inner cores, which isn’t much different from eating the demon’s corpse.
Otherwise, if he continues to devour like this, he’s afraid he’ll truly become a demon, no longer human.
He must not be assimilated by these Abyss Demons.
He must always maintain his true nature, he is human, not another race.
But it can’t be denied that after absorbing all the power of an Abyss Demon of the same level, his injuries were completely healed, and his strength broke through because of it.
Even so, it can’t shake Ye Qiu’s determination not to devour Abyss Demons.
Enhancing strength is possible, he just needs the inner core and that’s enough.
Previously, after he killed Abyss Demons, he used the inner cores to exchange for Military Merit Points, because human Martial Artists couldn’t use the inner cores of Abyss Demons. But now it was different, he was an Abyss Demon, at least the body was.
He also has an inner core inside his body.
It’s just that his inner core is very small, only the size of a pea, looking quite pitiful.
"If I can wait for one or two more inner cores of the same level, my strength might enter the Divinity Transformation Realm." Ye Qiu analyzed, while his heart started setting up a goal for himself - to become a King Abyss Demon in the shortest time.
Ordinary demons are too weak, just a single Saint can easily take him down.
With weak power, Ye Qiu has no sense of security, at least here, being weak is extremely dangerous, easily leading to getting killed.
With a goal established, Ye Qiu started to scout nearby Abyss Demons, searching for suitable targets.
The surrounding Abyss Demons were very alert, having reached here, it could be said, they all stepped over the corpses of other Abyss Demons to get here.
However, each Abyss Demon acted independently, without forming groups.
Ye Qiu had a significant advantage here, which was that he was a hundred times smarter than any surrounding Abyss Demons; some of these were strong but were simply-minded and physically powerful.
Although ordinary Abyss Demons have certain wisdom, it’s not very high and can’t be compared to humans.
Only upon reaching the level of "King Demon" do they meet the intelligence of a seven or eight-year-old human child.
The Royal Demon level is equivalent to an adult, above the Royals, the level of Demon Lords — their intelligence doesn’t fall behind humans, even smarter than humans.
It can be said that Ye Qiu is currently the most intelligent at the ordinary Abyss Demon level.
On his left and right were two Abyss Demons weaker, similar to his previous strength, currently watching here warily, afraid he might kill past.
Directly above was an Abyss Demon at the pinnacle of the Void Shattering Realm, resting at the moment. Even during Ye Qiu’s previous battle with another Abyss Demon, it only opened its eyes and glanced, without making any other moves.
This powerful Abyss Demon, Ye Qiu didn’t want to provoke for now, as its strength surpasses his.
Thus, the target naturally fell on the two Abyss Demons on either side.
Ye Qiu rushed towards one of the Abyss Demons quickly, and the Abyss Demon seeing this, didn’t back down, adopting a combat stance.
Abyss Demons are inherently combative; even knowing the opponent is tough, they are reluctant to retreat easily unless you can make it painfully afraid; only then will it flee.
"Indeed, it didn’t run!" Ye Qiu chuckled to himself, as expected, he accelerated and simultaneously touched one of the fingers among the three fingers wearing his storage ring.
Die!
Ye Qiu reached out to grab, intending to gouge out a hole in its chest; the Abyss Demon was quick, responding swiftly and retaliating immediately.
Swish.
A claw reached for his face, Ye Qiu smirked, and at this moment, the Bahuang Sword appeared outright, piercing through the Abyss Demon’s claw promptly, then through the head behind the claw.
Splatter!
The Abyss Demon ceased to move, and Ye Qiu cut forcefully, cleaving the Abyss Demon directly into halves with the Bahuang Sword.
The sword tip flicked, and an inner core landed in his hand, which Ye Qiu directly tossed into his mouth, consuming it like candy.
Once crushed, it transformed into energy gathered towards his inner core, forming his own strength.
"Grown stronger again." Ye Qiu was delighted, his gaze shifted to the other Abyss Demon.
Continue!
He moved his legs, unwilling to delay, seeking to eliminate this Abyss Demon as well, he could feel his demon physical strength nearing the peak of the Void Shattering Realm, another inner core would help him break into the Divinity Transformation Realm.
Abyss Demons become powerful simply like this — killing, devouring, evolving, repeatedly.
From the smallest Abyss Demon to becoming a Demon Lord, it’s all a repetition of this process.
Ye Qiu began his Abyss Demon path, using inner cores inside the Abyss Demon as food to strengthen, let himself continuously grow stronger, gradually restore strength.
Shush shush shush.
In the deepest part of the cosmic abyss, a peculiar Abyss Demon holding a longsword engaged in a unique battle.
