Master of Strange Dao

"Got any more?" Yu Ziqing asked, somewhat excited.

"..."

Freedom Heaven was stunned for a moment and then slapped himself.

Loose tongue.

"Hahaha..." Yu Ziqing laughed so much he couldn't close his mouth, drool beginning to uncontrollably drip: "That's good, I thought you True Name Heavenly Demons, once dead, were gone for good. It's good there are more."

"Besides, I think you misunderstood me. I never kill Devils, it's too wasteful. We usually just eat them."

King Xiang waved his hand, and the enormous golden cage shrank, transforming into a small three-inch-high cage.

Holding the cage, his expression was somewhat complicated.

"I once promised you I'd send you a few rats to vent your anger on, let this one count."

"Then many thanks, King Xiang."

Yu Ziqing took the cage, opened his mouth wide, and swallowed it whole, cage and all.

He closed his mouth and signaled to King Xiang.

"You can open it now."

When the cage opened, the Heavenly Demon huddled in the corner, still trying to hide, but the devouring force in Yu Ziqing's throat appeared and transformed him into a swirl of black energy, devoured without a trace.

Yu Ziqing's stomach gradually bulged, turning into a beer belly, as he spat out the cage and returned it to King Xiang.

Yu Ziqing glanced at the hungry ghosts behind him and waved his hand.

"Keep eating, if I find out you wasted even a bit, there won't be a next time."

The hungry ghosts continued to dig three feet into the ground, thoroughly avoiding the waste of any food.

Yu Ziqing sensed his own power, noticing the Heavenly Demon hadn't yet fully digested, meaning he could maintain his power for a while longer.

This time, the duration was exceptionally long, inspiring a new thought in him.

Was it possible to find a person, targeting them for judgment with the intent to kill, but not being able to finish them in one blow?

In this way, the information about the opponent must be controlled, enough only to meet the minimum judgment criteria, so the power gained wasn't too strong to accidentally kill them.

But also, not too much information, because knowing too much, once judgment was complete, even a single action could kill them instantly.

Could he exploit a loophole this way?

He could experiment later to see how long the power would last.

Currently, it seemed as long as he was in a combat state, it wouldn't vanish.

But a combat state couldn't be maintained indefinitely, logically, if he escaped far enough, he would be out of combat.

Swallowing the Heavenly Demon, struggling in his belly, not digesting immediately, being in a constant combat state like this was rare.

No matter, even if it couldn't last long, it was a new way of seed explosion.

After returning, he'd find an opportunity to test it, see if he could find a strong enough brother.

Otherwise, if the opponent was weaker than him, it wouldn't mean much.

He temporarily suppressed his wild thoughts, looked at King Xiang with his beer belly, and eyed King Xiang's father's leg.

"King Xiang, you got lucky this time, encountering a Great Devil. Next time, it might not be so easy."

"What do you mean?"

Yu Ziqing didn't answer, waving the Hungry Ghost Sword.

The sword light sliced through the massive severed leg, not harming it in the slightest, only cutting away wisps of black energy that fell out with the sword's passage.

Wu Shuangge, at two hundred pounds, with a rounder face, eyes shining, rushed to grab a clump and stuffed it into his mouth.

"I can still eat, I'm only eighty percent full."

Cece, with a round face, snatched a piece to stuff into her mouth.

"I'm only seventy percent full."

A throng of hungry ghosts rushed up, tearing the devil thoughts to shreds and devouring them.

Yu Ziqing smacked his lips, rubbed his beer belly, he really couldn't eat anymore.

Forget it, this rare chance allowed the hungry ghosts to eat their fill.

He swung his sword repeatedly, the sword light extending hundreds of feet, slicing through the leg in sections, extracting every single devil thought.

The demonic Qi in the giant leg dissipated rapidly, beginning to look somewhat normal, its size slowly decreasing.

Suddenly, he spotted a leg hair like a pillar, tumbling down as the severed leg shrank.

Yu Ziqing immediately gave Cece a look, and Cece swiftly snatched it before it could fall.

A Ninth Tier Body Cultivator, empowered by Devilic enhancement, in True Body form. The stiff, straight leg hair could be used as a weapon.

King Xiang, not far away, watching this scene, his eyelid twitched slightly, thought to say something, but in the end, said nothing, pretending not to see it.

Forget it, his father likely wouldn't mind.

Take it, after his father's leg healed, such a chance wouldn't arise again.

The thousands-of-feet-tall severed leg, sliced continuously for an entire hour, until the last wisp of demonic Qi vanished, and the last devil thought forcibly cut out, devoured by the hungry ghosts.

The severed leg rapidly shrank, turning into a normal-sized human leg.

The leg stood on the ground, where it had been severed, the previously pitch-black flesh returned to vitality, fresh blood gushing out, and flesh quickly regenerating.

The sight left Yu Ziqing dumbfounded.

A person was growing out of the leg.

A middle-aged man, of seemingly moderate size but with chiseled muscles, stood with closed eyes there.
