Chapter 361: Devour

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

The shedding of an ancient demon was a double-edged sword, which brought huge benefits and risks.

Slime was a living example. It was only suppressed because of Great-Grandma and the remnant soul of Demonic Priest.

If the soul of Demonic Priest were to return to Heaven and Earth, Buddha Head’s buddhist beads would be added so that it can no longer make trouble.

This was still an incomplete Slime, with some of his power and will fading with the fall of the Taoist Reverend. One could imagine how difficult it was for the Demonic Priest to face a complete Slime back then.

Even so, Li Xianyu still wanted to devour the shedding of the ancient demon in his hands. Every overpowered player should be mentally prepared for their account to be suspended. The benefits of the shedding of an ancient demon are enough to give him courage to attempt this gamble.

If you don’t go crazy, you don’t live. Cultivating step by step is not for me, Li Xianyu thought.

“Tell me what I should do,” he said to Slime.

“Eat it directly.” Slime’s answer was unexpected.

“I knew it, you have evil intentions.” Li Xianyu looked down on Slime. “You want to kill me indirectly and then go solo.”

“Believe it or not.”

“Believe it or not, I’ll go back and make a stronger glove that will make you feel extremely uncomfortable every day.”

Ryder and the others were curious to see Li Xianyu and his left hand engage in dialogue.

They knew that Li Xianyu’s left hand hosted an evil creature, but never heard Slime talk. They only just found out that it was capable of speech.

Someone looking down and arguing with his left hand painted a funny and interesting picture. The humorous Americans were amused and tickled by the scene.

Actually, leaving aside Slime’s evil nature, the fact that his left hand speaks and has the will to think independently was a very interesting thing. It was a blessing for otakus.

Slime thought about it, and the welfare of no gloves prevailed. It murmured solemnly, explaining, “It has no will. We, ancient demons, shed to complete ourselves.”

Now that things have come to this point, Slime had accepted that it was an ancient demon shedding. Its predecessor was a monster as massive as a mountain, and was ferocious and evil. Slime inherited its character of being dark and evil.

The ancient demon shedding was incomplete, and their essence can be interpreted as the remnants of the ancient demons, similar to the Śarīra of Buddhist monks.

“I tried to take over Wang Chen’s body and later I tried to take over you, all to complete myself. I have a will, but I don’t have a normal body, so taking over people’s bodies is my pursuit. But why can’t I even be satisfied with such a simple pursuit?”

Slime’s voice was filled with sadness and grief.

It just needed to find a demon descendant, anyone would work, as long as it was a demon descendant. Slime could just take over his body.

Was it hard? It was not hard. On the contrary, it was very simple.

However, for Slime, such a simple pursuit was extremely difficult. More than eighty years ago, Demonic Priest Wang Chen entered the Great Deities Palace and was his first host. After many years of wrangling, it not only failed to take over the Demonic Priest and was even sealed for eighty years.

And then, life was not so cruel. It was unsealed and saw glimmers of hope.

Unfortunately, he met the Li family descendant.

Eighty years ago, he was a servant and now eighty years later, he was still a servant.

It had a tragic life.

“Alright, now is not the time to reflect about your life.” Li Xianyu slapped Slime. “Don’t act so wronged, as if I abused you.”

“Your great-grandmother nearly killed me at the Forum Conference,” Slime retorted. I still remember the torture that was worse than death.

“Whose fault was it?” Li Xianyu smiled coldly.

“Forget it, there’s no need to talk about the past.” Slime coughed and continued, “It’s way of completing itself is to regain its will. You have seen it devour that woman, unlike me, I only take over bodies but not devour it because I’m missing a body. It consumes flesh and blood by devouring the ancient demon genes in the bloodstream, accumulating more of it and then evolving them into a will. It must have swallowed a lot of life. See, it’s got a preliminary will, like a beast, and instinct is the expression of will.

Li Xianyu asked, “What should I do?”

“Give it to me, I will be responsible for destroying its will. It’s like a newborn baby, it’s not on par with me. After its will is destroyed, it’s a clean treasure like a piece of white paper. You just have to eat it.”

Li Xianyu’s gaze flashed. “Okay!”

Slime wrapped the tender red meat, as blood vessels bulged on the dark surface, and the red light lit up and darkened as if it was breathing.

The internal red meat seemed to detect the crisis, and it was in the middle of putting up a fierce resistance.

One could see that in the meatball wrapped by Slime, there was a bump on the left, and there was a bump on the right, as it was trying to break through the shackles.

The blood vessels on Slime’s surface were flashing faster, like it was gasping for breath.

At this point, Slime’s indestructible features were revealed to an utmost extent, and the impact of the tender red meat was insufficient to break through its sturdy body. It finally stopped after half an hour of futile struggle.

Slime let go of the meat, its voice tinged with fatigue. “My goodness, I’m exhausted. I’m going to sleep.”

The blood vessels turned back to normal and were hidden in the skin.

Li Xianyu held the tender red meat in his hands and glanced at everyone. Ryder and Eric’s desire were strong and the senior staff were wary of both.

Faced with this kind of thing, it was too fake if they completely did not desire it.

“Hey, Ryder, how about I give you this thing?” Li Xianyu suddenly said.

When Li Xianyu asked this question, he recalled that when he read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei, a big eared thief, asked Zhuge Kongming to take care of his son. “My son is incapable and wouldn’t achieve much even with help. How about you replace him?”

Zhuge Liang broke out in cold sweat and replied, “No, no, no, I can’t do that. I will support Liu Chan dedicatedly.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei passed away in peace.

If only Zhuge Liang had answered, “Okay, you’ll be my father then.”

Then, military advisor Zhuge Liang would have to die together with Liu Bei.

Ryder thought about it and felt that this was a trick question. He very sensibly shook his head and retreated a distance away.

Eric thought about it a little and retreated too, standing beside Ryder.

They were from different forces after all, and everyone had entered the Great Deities Palace for the treasure. It was inevitable that people would have their guard up. If Li Xianyu was very buddy with them, that would be bad.

Gulp…

Eric heard Ryder gulp subtly. If only their teacher was here, he thought.

If Wald Jones was here, the teacher and apprentice could join hands to force Li Xianyu to give up the ancient demon shedding.

Out of caution, Li Xianyu did not consume It immediately. He took a short knife out of his wallet and cut out a small piece easily. This ancient demon shedding was not as hard as Slime but was as powerful in terms of cell activity.

Fine thread-like substances extended from the incisions and the large and small pieces of meat were directly linked, and the two combined again.

“What a terrifying cell activity, it feels like it’s on par with my self-healing abilities.” Li Xianyu cut a small piece again. Without hesitation, he swallowed it directly.

He had the Black Water Spirit Bead in his body, which he relied on most. The Black Water Spirit Bead did not reveal its power usually, because it was low key.

In fact, as the core of the Unparalleled War Spirit, its existence was the greatest guarantee to Li Xianyu.

It was just a small piece of ancient demon shedding, even if Li Xianyu swallowed a traitor, even if Slime was lying to him, the Black Water Spirit Bead could suppress it easily.

Moreover, he was no longer a rookie and, as an S-class master, he was confident that he could handle it even if an accident happened.

The small piece of the ancient demon shedding dissolved when it was swallowed. It was like a living thing, going from the esophagus into the body, beginning to fuse with Li Xianyu’s own genes.

A slight itch spread, goosebumps crawling all over his body.

“Your skin is peeling.” Cui Hua stretched out her paw, her soft paw pressing on Li Xianyu’s face.

Not only his face, he has shed a layer of dead skin all over his body. Lifting the dead skin, his skin was smooth and fair, and it was even smoother than the exterior of a hard-boiled egg.

“I want this skin too,” Cui Hua said in envy.

Her skin was honey gold, and she was a handsome and aggressive woman, like a beautiful leopard.

This type of woman, like cold iceberg beauties, were the two types of women that men wanted to conquer.

But deep down, Cui Hua wanted to be a fair, beautiful, elegant, mature and noble cat.

After a short while, nothing unusual happened. Li Xianyu cut a small piece of the ancient demon shedding and swallowed it.

This time, there was nothing unusual except subtle changes in his body.

One piece after another… Every time the absorption ended, he stopped to observe for a moment, to confirm that there was no abnormality, and then continued to swallow.

This continued until all the ancient demon shedding went into his abdomen and nothing was left. It had fused with his genes and integrated with his flesh and blood.

At this point, the accident finally occurred.
