Chapter 289

289 A Strong Desire

Not only his flesh and bones, even his soul was being devoured, causing Shen Fei extreme pain.

‘Damn it, could this liquid be the legendary spirit-devouring demonic liquid?’ Shen Fei thought in his heart.

The spirit-devouring demonic liquid was a legendary item. It was said that the liquid was one of the most poisonous substances in the world. Once one was touched by a trace of it, even the flesh and blood of a martial Emperor-tier powerhouse would quickly fester and become fused with the liquid!

Moreover, a martial Emperor-tier Beastmaster’s cultivation base would be reduced by at least two-thirds as soon as they were touched by a drop of the spirit-devouring demonic liquid!

Shen Fei’s expression was solemn as he thought, ‘Looks like I have to leave this place as soon as possible. Otherwise, I’ll definitely become a cripple!’

Immediately, Shen Fei felt a strong suction force coming from the runes, and he lost consciousness.



At the same time, in the outside world, Aloy was glaring at Su Yang as she asked, “Hey, where did you take Shen Fei?”

“Don’t be anxious, little girl. Shen Fei promised me that he would kill the beast and obtain the strange energy. I’ll naturally bring him back,” Su Yang said with a smile.

Hearing this, Aloy’s eyes lit up. She could not help but say, “Really?”

“Of course, why would I lie to you?” Su Yang said with a smile.

“I don’t believe you. Why did you only bring Shen Fei away? What’s more, it’s too dangerous for him to deal with the beast alone. This won’t do. I have to go and find him.”

Aloy frowned and was about to leave. However, she was caught by Su Yang before she could take more than a few steps.

“Little girl, where do you think you’re going? Since I dared to take Shen Fei away, then naturally I’ve already come up with an escape plan.” Su Yang laughed evilly, “If you don’t want to die, then obediently stay where you are and don’t move!”

With that, Su Yang’s figure flashed and disappeared without a trace.

“B*stard! One day, I’ll definitely take my revenge on you and teach you a lesson,” Aloy said through gritted teeth. She raged internally as she sat down and prepared to wait for Shen Fei’s return…



At this moment, Shen Fei was in a coma. He did not know where he had fallen, but balls of liquid appeared in his mind.

“Damn it!” Shen Fei could not help but curse.

This situation had gone on for more than ten minutes, and Shen Fei was frightened and uneasy. He did not want to die for no reason.

‘Could it be that this liquid wants my body?’ Shen Fei hazarded a guess, but he did not dare to confirm it. After all, the possibility of this happening is too small. In fact, the reality of this happening at all, to him of all people, was too absurd!

However, just because Shen Fei was unsure about this possibility did not mean that it was out of the question. Shen Fei’s bloodline had already been contaminated by the liquid as soon as he stepped into its trap. If this liquid wanted Shen Fei’s body, it was completely possible.

No, it should be said that the bloodline within Shen Fei’s body was actually gradually changing.

Although the original Shen Fei’s physical body was equivalent to a divine dragon’s body in terms of strength. If it were not for the system opening all the doorways for his cultivation development, he could have been considered a self-made genius.

However, under the effect of this liquid, his bloodline was constantly changing. Eventually, his bloodline turned crimson red!

His crimson blood vessels emitted a terrifying heat, and his internal organs began to undergo a strange transformation as the heat corroded them.

He became tough and powerful. Even his bones were changing, becoming stronger. Shen Fei could not help but gasp when he felt this strange transformation.

“This… What the hell is this?” Shen Fei had a bad feeling.

The crimson liquid in his body then began to wriggle like a live creature swimming inside. Shen Fei suspected that it was even constantly devouring his flesh and blood.

Furthermore, the crimson liquid was working faster and faster, devouring and absorbing Shen Fei’s internal organs as they melted into liquid.

“How could this be? What the hell is up with this demonic liquid?!”

Shen Fei’s heart was filled with shock. He had never seen a liquid that could actually devour his flesh and blood! But at this moment, Shen Fei had no other choice. The power of his bloodline was steadily fading.

He could not hesitate any longer. He struggled into sitting in a cross-legged position on the ground, and began to absorb the power of the liquid for himself. He even began to cultivate it as his own energy.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Fei suddenly opened his eyes. In front of him was an ancient altar. Old runes were carved onto the altar, and the structure gave off a strong smell of blood.

Beside the altar stood two three-meter tall blood-colored stone statues with wings. The stone statues were actually two demonic creatures. They were so lifelike that it was as though they were real. Moreover, there was a single eye on each statue’s forehead, and the eye had a fierce gaze.

“What are these things?”

Shen Fei carefully observed the two stone statues. His heart was filled with shock and puzzlement. They were simply creatures from another world that he had never met before. But he felt a close bond with them. This was something that he could not understand.

However, Shen Fei did not think too much about it. Instead, he started to try cultivating the crimson liquid.

“Coo, coo!” At this moment, the Flame Owl flapped its wings quickly, as if it had discovered something, and was shouting excitedly.

Shen Fei stopped his cultivation and looked at the Flame Owl. He revealed a surprised expression and asked, “Little guy, are you excited?”

The Flame Owl nodded.

Then, Shen Fei suddenly felt a ball of crimson liquid appear in his spiritual core. It was emitting a powerful aura. As for Shen Fei’s primordial spirit, it was bound by this ball of crimson liquid and was unable to escape.

‘What is this thing?’ Shen Fei was very curious, but he did not try to investigate what this liquid was. For some reason, he believed that this strange thing would not cause him harm.

Shen Fei muttered to himself, “It can’t be the saliva of this monster, right?”

The Flame Owl flew to Shen Fei’s shoulder. It stared at the crimson liquid and drooled. It seemed to have a strong desire to consume this liquid.
