Master of Strange Dao

The Heavenly Demon once again transformed into a cloud of black smoke to escape. After manifesting his form, he looked terrified.

"What kind of creature are you?"

He turned and flew away, letting out a piercing shriek that echoed throughout the entire Sorrow Cave Heaven.

Yu Ziqing rubbed his forehead and pulled out the rusty sword from his bosom, shouting fiercely.

"Freedom Heaven!"

The shriek of the Heavenly Demon abruptly halted as he stared at Yu Ziqing, puzzled by how Yu Ziqing knew his True Name.

For a Heavenly Demon without a physical body or Divine Soul, the True Name was indeed a vulnerability; however, that depended on the person involved.

For someone like a Ninth Tier Primordial Spirit Realm expert who mastered the Heavenly Devil True Name Spell to the highest level, this was a crack that could kill a Heavenly Demon.

But for others, it was just a name.

Yu Ziqing grinned, and the rusty sword in his hand automatically unsheathed itself, transforming into a pitch-black Hungry Ghost Sword. His body began to grow thin and emaciated, gradually turning into the Yin God's form, at that moment, the Yin God and the flesh united as one.

The power of the Hungry Ghost Dao continually surged upward. With each step he took, a black oily footprint was left beneath him, burning with black fire and exuding a heavy ominous aura.

Seeing Yu Ziqing at this moment, the Heavenly Demon immediately sensed a crisis. This indicated that Yu Ziqing now indeed had the capability to injure or kill him.

Completely different from ordinary human Cultivators.

He fled swiftly, soaring into the sky and howling at the heavens.

Soon, the Demonic Qi throughout the entire Sorrow Cave Heaven began to converge towards him, where countless Devils and various Evil Devils from countless eons rushed over.

The overwhelming Evil Devils and Demonic Qi together formed a black cloud that covered half of the Grotto Heaven, pressing towards this side.

Yu Ziqing stood dumbfounded at this sight.

This Heavenly Demon, sealed here and completely ignorant of the outside situation, dared to call upon others, letting those Evil Devils come to encircle and annihilate him?

To encircle and annihilate him, who had already activated the hungry ghost form?

Yu Ziqing couldn't help but burst into laughter, tears almost rolling from his eyes.

Now in his hungry ghost form, Yu Ziqing casually sat on the ground, placed a wooden bowl before him, then took out a chopstick, and lightly tapped the wooden bowl, looking at the black cloud pressing from the horizon.

A clear, melodious sound as if of a tolling bell reverberated grandly, spreading throughout the entire Sorrow Cave Heaven, then sweeping out in a way ordinary people couldn't hear or sense.

Yu Ziqing raised his head, opened his wide mouth, and loudly shouted.

"Dinner... is... served..."

In an instant, the world seemed to fall silent.

In the Abyss, eerie and terrifying, filled with sinister aura, on a cliff full of caves, countless hungry ghosts simultaneously opened their eyes.

In the Forbidden Land of Jinlan Mountain, the hungry ghosts dwelling in that locust forest hundreds of miles across also opened their eyes simultaneously at this moment.

Behind Yu Ziqing, black oily vortices appeared one by one, constantly swelling and enlarging, some spanning several dozen zhangs, others only a dozen, and two of the largest, reaching several li in size.

After a brief silence, countless hungry ghosts emerged from those black oily vortices like water released from a sluice gate, within seconds, thousands of hungry ghosts had rushed out.

Already transformed into the hungry ghost form, Cece and Wu Shuangge also stepped out from the largest vortex.

The hungry ghosts, were being summoned for the first time.

And it was for dinner.

Not a single hungry ghost wanted to miss it.

The Heavenly Monarch Luoge, who had closed his eyes, couldn't help but smile. He felt there was no need to watch any further. This junior from the human race was merely speaking the truth, just trivial Devils.

On the other side of Sorrow Cave Heaven, King Xiang had finally suppressed his father's leg.

He used a thousand top-grade Devil Suppressing Cones to temporarily suppress that severed leg, a thousand zhangs high.

This was only because that leg, already summoned by the Heavenly Demon, had lost interest in battling him, finally giving him a chance.

He was now truly experiencing why it was necessary for his father back then to have nine same-tier strong allies, and even then, they had to form a Big Array to control it.

Even now, just a leg, contained terrifying strength, merely through the flesh and blood's innate ability it could forcefully squeeze out the top-grade Devil Suppressing Cones.

Suddenly, King Xiang, eyes glistening with Divine Light, looked far away towards the other side of Sorrow Cave Heaven.

He saw the gigantic vortices appear, saw countless hungry ghosts rush out from them, confronting that overwhelming mass of Evil Devils.

He froze for a moment, then burst into laughter, laughing until tears filled his eyes.

"Jinlan Mountain, hungry ghosts...

Devils...

So it was like this, so it was like this.

He actually dared to come.

Hahaha, father, this time you truly have hope for salvation."

...

Within that gigantic vortex, hungry ghosts seemed endless, squeezing one by one, charging out.

Their exuberance and impatience reminiscent of students rushing into the cafeteria when the teacher finally ended overtime lessons, starving and light-headed.

"You're a Devil, and you're comparing numbers with me?"

Yu Ziqing wielded the Hungry Ghost Sword, every step leaving a footprint burning with black fire, coupled with his hungry ghost form, laughing with the arrogance of a villain.

The most potent and fearsome aspect of the Devils to Cultivators was useless against him, save for battling with raw power.

Unfortunately, this Heavenly Demon no longer even had a physical body, so how could he compete?

The countless Devils were being relentlessly torn apart, treated as a feast and devoured by the hungry ghosts.

Yu Ziqing wielded the Hungry Ghost Sword, casually slashing, and the sword's edge seemed to traverse space. Regardless of how the Heavenly Demon darted, transforming into black smoke to evade, he was still struck by the sword.

A mass of black smoke transformed and fell like a stewed pork shank. Yu Ziqing took a bite, casually handing it to Wu Shuangge.

Another slash, a braised chicken fell. Yu Ziqing took another bite and gave it to Cece.

He swung his sword again and again until the Heavenly Demon dispersed into the crowd of Devils, momentarily vanishing from sight, forcing Yu Ziqing to pause.

His sunken abdomen gradually swelled, indicating he was full.

Wu Shuangge had already visibly gained weight, and even Cece had grown a bit plump.
