C1472 Who will Eat Who?

Yu Yiyi and the ice blade were overwhelmed by a mass of tentacles, vanishing from sight. Her mystical link with the Evil Demons inside the Evil Cauldron was obscured, rendering her unable to mentally summon the Evil Demons for combat while engulfed by the tentacles.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Tiny, vibrant dragons burst forth from the Evil Cauldron hovering above the Dragon Slash Platform. These colorful dragons willingly integrated with the platform below, replenishing the long-depleted energy of the Space-time Dragon.

Not a drop of water from the Colorful Lake remained within the cauldron.

Evil Demons within the cauldron's miniature world waited aimlessly for commands across various tiers.

Neither Yu Yuan, the master, nor Yu Yiyi, the cauldron soul, could establish contact with the Evil Cauldron or mobilize the Evil Demons at that moment.

On the tenth level, the only sentient Nether Cat was torn in two. The Nether Cat was desperately siphoning power from the Evil Demons below to mend its split demonic body, unable to assist anyone else.

"Still too young, not realizing the vastness of the heavens and the depths of the earth," mused Yuan Qingxi. As he recited his incantations, he kept an eye on the skeletal movements. The Asura behind him, with their menacing fangs and claws, looked ready to attack Yu Yuan, but Yuan Qingxi held them back.

Yu Yuan's chest, neck, abdomen, and other critical areas were impaled by the monstrous tentacles. When the tentacles, sharp as spears, struck him, most of his body was submerged in the demon of the Colorful Lake, and a bizarre noise of teeth gnawing on flesh and bone emanated from within.

Hearing this, Yuan Qingxi realized the demon had exerted its full force and stopped the Asura from any superfluous actions, to avoid giving the impression that he had directed them to compete for the feast.

"Incredible, the sheer magnitude of blood energy! Such exquisite and pure vitality is unprecedented!" exclaimed the Earth Demon Ancestor, Huangyin. His contemplative demeanor shifted as he couldn't help but look up, his hollow eye sockets ablaze with a purple demonic fire that sent shivers down one's spine.

His cry of astonishment emanated from within his demonic body, as though another Devil Soul resided within him.

His incantations, ceaselessly calling upon devils, specters, and otherworldly beings, never ceased.

"Mr. Yuen, you might not be able to fathom the extent of this young one's blood essence."

Huangyin furrowed his brow, struggling to find the right adjective. "He's terrifying, and in a different way! He's not like the Divine Soul Sect's spiritual level, but rather... his flesh and blood possess a strength akin to that of a Demon God!"

The moment the tentacles penetrated Yu Yuan's flesh, Huangyin sensed a boundless surge of blood energy, as vast as the sea itself.

This potent life force, teeming with creation's power, was unlike anything Huangyin had encountered in the old foes of the Divine Soul Sect.

In this new era, only beings like the Desolate God, the White Divine Tiger, and the Qilin Demon God, or the peak warriors from the Outer Star River, could harbor such potent blood energy.

And yet, Huangyin felt the blood energy within Yu Yuan might even surpass that of a Demon God!

Woo! Woo! Woo!

The grotesque, bloated demon began to thrash its myriad tentacles wildly within the Colorful Lake.

The demons and eye-like entities attached to the tentacles stared eagerly at Huangyin, as if pleading for something.

It was impatient!

With a pleased smile, Huangyin nodded and said, "If you wish to feast, then go ahead."

A chorus of excited howls erupted from the demon's tentacles as those that had pierced Yu Yuan shimmered with iridescence.

Indeed, streams of rainbow light raced through the tentacles, transferring energy from the demon's body to Yu Yuan.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

The tentacles, rooted in Yu Yuan's critical points, caused excess colorful energy to spray out like miniature fireworks.

Yu Yuan's once robust and formidable body suddenly appeared slightly withered.

Gurgle!

His blood and flesh, as if ensnared by the colorful glow, were being drawn into the monster's body.

The bloated demon, intoxicated by the exquisite taste of blood it had never even dreamed of, quivered in the Colorful Lake and began to move slowly.

It voluntarily drew closer to Yu Yuan!

"What's going to happen to it? I don't know why, but I have this feeling..."

Yuen Qingxi's temples throbbed as he observed the monster's frenzied behavior, something he had never witnessed before.

Yu Yuan appeared utterly bewildered, his three souls in disarray and his memories jumbled. Unaware, his very essence of flesh and blood was swiftly siphoned away by the grotesque creature's razor-sharp tentacles. Yet, in this state, Yu Yuan's demeanor remained eerily serene, as if he was incapable of feeling any pain.

One would expect some instinctual response to such agony, even with the three souls in turmoil and memories scattered. Yuen Qingxi vividly recalled others who had been prey to this monster, each one seemingly flayed alive, enduring torments akin to hell itself. They were unable to live, yet unable to die!

Never had he seen any creature, flesh and blood intact, maintain such composure as Yu Yuan did while being penetrated and drained by this beast's tendrils. This was true even though Yu Yuan's self-consciousness had been shattered by a malevolent curse!

"I have no idea what he'll become. Mr. Yuan, this young man's flesh and blood contain the power of creation itself! Plus, there's the pure essence of the Yin Sunflower! You'd never imagine he could be so extraordinary and mighty," Huangyin remarked, his excitement mirroring that of the monster.

"Perhaps, through this young man, it will evolve into something beyond our wildest dreams! I have this premonition that, post-transformation, it will possess the might to challenge the supreme powers!" Huangyin, the Earth Demon Ancestor, was jubilant, dancing and cackling with glee.

"We've been oppressed for tens of thousands of years, and it seems the heavens have finally shown us favor, compensating us with this grand feast for it to relish!"

With a roar that echoed the pent-up fury of eons, the sound burst forth, unbridled.

Roar! Howl! Growl!

More than fifty thousand demons, spirits, and aberrations echoed his call, distorting the heavens around Colorful Lake and causing the earth to tremble incessantly.

"No! Something feels terribly wrong! This isn't good!" Yuen Qingxi's voice pierced the air.

But his cry was lost amid the cacophony of demons, spirits, and tainted beings, and Huangyin, caught in a frenzy of excitement, did not hear him. Or perhaps, Huangyin was so engrossed in his own world that he no longer paid any heed.

With a great splash, the colossal demon burst forth from Colorful Lake, its bizarre form stumbling awkwardly, a sight to behold.

"Huangyin! Be careful!"

Yuen Qingxi let out another piercing scream, accompanied by a soul-shattering wail that surged directly towards Huangyin's Devil Soul.

He sensed that the massive demon hadn't leaped from the Colorful Lake by its own volition.

It seemed as though it was being dragged, yanked forcibly, and made to fly away against its will.

Who could be pulling it?

To whom was it connected?

It was either Yu Yiyi, ensnared by its tentacles, or Yu Yuan, impaled by them!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Visible to the naked eye, seven-colored light streaked through its enormous frame like electricity, seemingly stripping away its vital essence and blood energy, causing the demon's massive form to noticeably shrink.

Almost instantly, the thick, vivid rainbow light vanished into Yu Yuan's body through the tentacles.

Yu Yuan's previously withered body swelled momentarily before swiftly returning to its original state.

With this subtle transformation, Yu Yuan's body appeared to have assimilated all the seven-colored light drawn from the demon.

And still, it seemed insatiable!

"He's instinctively fighting back! Huangyin, his instinctive response to the attack... it's actually, it's actually working!"

Yuen Qingxi exclaimed in a jumbled frenzy.

He was convinced that Yu Yuan's three souls were still constrained by his hex, unable to clear their confusion or adjust.

This implied that Yu Yuan's retaliation against the demon was purely instinctual!

Huangyin's face turned grave, "Could it be?"

The once bloated demon, having departed from the Colorful Lake, appeared much less swollen as copious amounts of rainbow light poured into Yu Yuan's body, leaving it considerably leaner.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The tentacles, once rigid like spears targeting Yu Yuan's critical points, now turned slick and pliable, shaking wildly with extreme undulations.

It was evident that the demon was struggling to retract its tentacles, but to no avail.

Instead, its body continued to close in on Yu Yuan rapidly, its multitude of Devil Souls and consciousness quivering in terror, pleading for Huangyin's aid.

To the demon, Yu Yuan's body was a bottomless abyss, within which lurked innumerable malevolent beings.

The malevolent beings clutched their tentacles tightly, tugging with all their strength.

They were dragging everything into the body of Yu Yuan.

It was terrified.
