187: Chapter 187 The Perverted Skill of Gluttony

After injecting 200 million raw blood energy into the Devouring Heaven Beast Egg, Chi Anlin suddenly stopped. He saw the Devouring Heaven Beast Egg shake slightly, and cracks began to appear on the eggshell.

Chi Anlin came to a halt immediately. At that moment, the cracks grew larger and larger. In the next second, a tender claw stretched out, grabbed the eggshell, and then retracted.

Then, a small mouth full of sharp teeth poked out and bit the eggshell at the edge of the hole. A cracking sound echoed. Chi Anlin raised an eyebrow, unable to tell what kind of creature this was.

Beneath the little fellow's chin were two sharp things like elephant tusks, though not as long. Its head looked like a dragon's, yet far more ferocious, topped with two massive horns. The dense rows of sharp teeth in its mouth would strike fear into anyone at a single glance.

The eggshell was quickly devoured, and the full form of the Sky-Devouring Beast appeared before Chi Anlin's eyes.

This little guy had a body like a deer, but it was covered in ferocious barbs. On its belly, there was actually a strange slit filled with sharp teeth, resembling a meat grinder.

On both sides of its body were pitch-black wings covered in scales. Overall, it looked like a terrifying calamitous beast.

However, to Chi Anlin, this little Sky-Devouring Beast actually looked quite handsome.

【Name】: Sky-Devouring Beast

【Quality】: King Grade Peak

【Attribute】: Chaos

【Level】: First Realm, First Stage

【Skills】:

Chaos: Special skill. After devouring an enemy into its stomach, it will learn all of the enemy's skills (requires a certain amount of time; the stronger the beast, the shorter the time needed).

Gluttony: King Grade Low, devours everything. Possesses a dimensional space in its belly, capable of absorbing devoured enemies to increase its own strength.

Chi Anlin froze on the spot. What... what the hell is this?!

Not only did it reach the First Realm, First Stage right at birth, but it also possessed two such perverted skills!

With the Chaos skill, didn't that mean the Sky-Devouring Beast could learn every skill? Including Sword Intent and the Great Dao!

Chi Anlin stared fervently at the puppy-sized Sky-Devouring Beast. This demon beast... must be contracted!

Chi Anlin was already looking forward to the bond after the contract!

"In that case, I'll call you Gluttony!"

Hearing Chi Anlin's words, Gluttony hopped happily and then swallowed an Ant Soldier standing nearby in one bite.

The Queen Ant had once ordered the Ant Soldiers not to harm the Devouring Heaven Beast Egg under any circumstances. Now that the Sky-Devouring Beast had hatched, the Ant Soldier continued to follow that order, so it didn't resist at all and was swallowed directly by Gluttony.

Chi Anlin was stunned. Gluttony's body wasn't even as large as the Ant Soldier. He saw that when Gluttony opened its mouth, a spatial vortex seemed to spin within, sucking the Ant Soldier straight in.

After thinking for a moment, Chi Anlin's consciousness drifted toward Gluttony and said, "Sense this carefully. In the future, you cannot swallow any creature that carries my aura."

Gluttony let out a wronged whimper and then opened its mouth wide, crying out to indicate it was hungry.

Chi Anlin sighed, hoping this fellow truly understood his words. Otherwise, if Tian Yin and Xiao Xing were playing near it one day, they might very well be swallowed in one gulp.

The Second Realm Ant Soldier entered Gluttony's belly, yet Gluttony's stomach showed no change. It kept crying with its mouth open; having just been born, its body desperately needed nutrients.

Chi Anlin thought about it and used his consciousness to bring over some spirit stones from the ant nest. He fed about ten to Gluttony before the little guy finally shut its mouth and lay down on the ground to sleep.

"I need to quickly increase my strength..." Chi Anlin couldn't wait to contract this little guy. This was also the first time he had encountered a King Grade demon beast.

Leaving the Small World with his consciousness, Chi Anlin continued to comprehend Sword Intent.

————————

Another 10 days passed, and Xiao Yue had actually comprehended Ice Sword Intent. Using its claws as swords, five streaks of sword qi flew out with every attack.

Claws... shouldn't they be more like sabers? Ridiculous!

Because he had stacked too many buffs, Chi Anlin's realm didn't rise as fast as Xiao Yue's. With ample resources now, Xiao Yue ate medicinal pills and crystal cores like regular meals every day, and its realm had already reached the Second Realm, Eighth Stage.

As for Chi Anlin... his realm still hadn't evolved yet.

But it had only been ten days, after all. At this realm, many ordinary cultivators would have to train for a year or two just to break through a single stage.

Once this trip to the Otherworld ended, it would probably be time for the holidays.

Having spent nearly half a year in the Blood Energy Space, Chi Anlin had already mastered five types of Sword Intent.

If his physical body could enter the Blood Energy Space, he would have taken off long ago.

As the ten days came to an end, the long-awaited system notification sounded.

"Ding, system upgrade complete. Rewards have been distributed. New function [Simulation] is open, and [Appraisal] has been upgraded!"

【World-Breaking Talisman】: Heaven Grade Mid, can break through formations and barriers.

【God-Slaying Cannon】: Heaven Grade Low, single-use consumable. Can fire a strike equivalent to the full power of a Heaven Rank Cultivator.

【Star Spirit Lake】: Heaven Grade Peak, can be placed within a world. The lake water draws power from the void to create Star Spirits.

The system rewards weren't numerous this time, but the quality was extremely high. Setting everything else aside, the Star Spirit Lake sounded very advanced.

Chi Anlin looked at the so-called Star Spirit Lake. At the moment, in his eyes, it was just a stone with nothing special about it.

After picking up the stone, Chi Anlin sensed that as long as he funneled spiritual power into it as a primer, he could directly activate the Star Spirit Lake.

Since he had good stuff, he naturally had to plant it in the Queen Ant's Small World.

However, Chi Anlin wasn't in a hurry to place the Star Spirit Lake. Instead, he checked out the system's new function.

【Simulation】: Can work with the "dragon cauldron" bond to change one's own aura and simulate any race. (The Simulation method can change any aspect of the body's aura, including the sea of consciousness. Each activation costs a certain amount of blood energy.)

Chi Anlin was ecstatic. He could be a hidden schemer however he wanted now!

And now, not only could he turn into other people, but he could even turn into other races!

If he wanted to simulate a certain person from the Demon Race, he only had to challenge them in the Blood Energy Space and dissect them to examine their structure. Then, he could perfectly simulate that Demon without any difference.

At the thought of his future happy life as a hidden schemer, Chi Anlin wanted to laugh. This way, he could switch identities to deploy Ant Soldiers.

Then, Chi Anlin thought for a moment and used the Appraisal function on Xiao Yue to see what was different.

At that moment, Chi Anlin was stunned. The original data hadn't changed, but at the very bottom, a new column had appeared.

【Combat Power】: 1123

Seeing this value, Chi Anlin was somewhat puzzled, unsure of how this Combat Power value was determined.
