Chapter 1402: Heaven-Swallowing Beast

The little beast ultimately did not control tens of millions of yellow sand worms like Jiang Yi had asked. It wasn’t that it didn’t want to obey this command; it did not have the ability to do so.

It was still too small while its body was very weak. Hence, it had only helped Jiang Yi gain control of fifty thousand yellow sand worms before it reached its limit. It had even consumed all the remaining flames within Jiang Yi’s Fire Spirit Pearl.

Fifty thousand yellow sand worms was also quite a reasonable amount. Jiang Yi asked the little beast to control them to surround him in all directions, for him to rest for a few hours. The Mighty God Technique’s side effects were starting to appear at this moment. After Jiang Yi had recovered, he retrieved two Chaos Pearls as he activated them to spew out burning flames. He then absorbed these flames into his ninth star sphere to combine them together.

The little beast was too weak at this moment. Jiang Yi was afraid that if another battle ensued, it would suddenly fall asleep and not be able to control the yellow sand worms anymore. That would be the end of Jiang Yi as well. Since Jiang Yi’s speed at merging the flames was very fast, he could spare these few hours to do it.

“Oh, right!”

After refining the flames for five minutes, Jiang Yi’s eyes suddenly opened wide. He had thought of something. It seemed… he still had a rather powerful Chaos Pearl in his possession? He had killed an Ancient-Grade Chaos Beast in the Fire Lake of the Demon Fire Mountain; that Chaos Beast’s corpse was still within his interspatial ring.

Buzz!

Jiang Yi’s body shot up as he emerged above ground. He took out that huge Chaos Beast’s corpse. Only half of its body was left as the other half had been burned to a crisp. That was why Jiang Yi had not paid much attention to it and had not sold it.

“The Chaos Pearl!”

Jiang Yi took out the Fire Dragon Sword and dug into the corpse for a moment and easily found a blood-red Chaos Pearl. His essence force enveloped the Chaos Pearl as he refined in. Soon, he could activate this Chaos Pearl and send forth a blood-red type of burning flames.

“Fuse!”

Jiang Yi absorbed this new flame as he fused it together with the other two types of flames. After they had merged together, Jiang Yi immediately absorbed them within his Fire Spirit Pearl. Once the little beast saw them, it grew extremely excited as it dashed within the flames. Its small mouth opened wide as it gobbled the flames. Within two blinks of the eye, that ball of flames had been consumed.

Buzz!

After it finished swallowing, the little beast was still hungry as it flew out from the Fire Spirit Pearl on its own accord. It sent a voice transmission to Jiang Yi: “This flame is nice. Although it isn’t as strong as those before, it is not bad. Please make more of them.”

“Relax, as long as you follow me, I guarantee that you will have an unlimited amount of burning flames to eat!”

Jiang Yi nodded. This little beast was now a cardinal treasure to him. He was afraid that it would be unhappy and choose to leave him. Even if this little beast wanted to eat the Chaos Pearls instead of the flames, Jiang Yi would not feel the pinch at all. All Jiang Yi wanted was for it to be obedient to him.

Jiang Yi swiftly refined more flames as he took turns to control the three Chaos Pearls to generate more flames for the little beast to eat its fill. This little beast had originally been listless. After swallowing a dozen-odd Merged Flames, it became visibly more energetic. Its body was also growing bigger; it seemed to be growing up.

After spending one Lower-Domain day, Jiang Yi had refined a few hundred balls of Merged Flames for the little beast to eat. It finally sent a voice transmission: “Alright, I am full now. I will stop eating for now and wait for the next round. Let me refine these flames first.”

“Then let’s go!”

After Jiang Yi combined yet a few more balls of burning flames, he flew up into the sky. The little beast stood on Jiang Yi’s shoulder as it closed its eyes to sleep. On the other hand, the controlled yellow sand worms were traveling underground and following Jiang Yi. More accurately, they were following the little beast.

Bringing along fifty thousand yellow sand worms, Jiang Yi grew more confident. Even if he encountered more Demon-Killing Battle Gods—as long as they were not that terrifying, Jiang Yi would not be afraid of them. He asked the little beast to control some yellow sand worms to be on watch within a five-hundred-kilometer radius. This way, once someone grew closer, the little beast would know immediately and would alert Jiang Yi.

As they traveled, Jiang Yi started to strike up a conversation with the little beast, wanting to get closer to it and grow a stronger bond. Now that this little beast had had its fill, it was quite happy and constantly talked to Jiang Yi via voice transmissions. Jiang Yi also finally managed to gain some information about it.

According to the little beast, its race was named the Heaven-Swallowing Beast. They were born from the nurturing of heaven and earth. It had just been born in the Primitive Mystic Realm a while back and had chosen Jiang Yi because it had sensed the burning flames within his Fire Spirit Pearl.

As for what special abilities the Heaven-Swallowing Beast had, why it could eat flames, why it wanted to eat strange stones, and why it did not recognize Jiang Yi as its master; it did not know.

The memories that had been stored in the little beast’s mind had told it to continue consuming powerful burning flames, golden hearthstones, black rainstones, and Tian Qi flowers. As for its special abilities, Jiang Yi had already seen one of them. It seemed like this little beast could control low-grade Chaos Beasts?

“The Heaven-Swallowing Beast?”

Jiang Yi glared at the thumb-sized little beast as he thought that this name seemed a little absurd, right? This beast was so small, and it wanted to swallow heaven.

However, thinking at all the bragging names that people in the Stellarsky Domain gave themselves, Jiang Yi did not think much about this anymore. After all, there were names like the Nine Dragons’ God-Extinguishing Array and the Smelting Divine Bell in the Stellarsky Domain. Any Heaven God from the Higher Domain could go and destroy the entire Stellarsky Domain, right? Names were but a title and did not mean much.

“Shall I give you a name, then?”

Thinking about names, Jiang Yi asked the little beast casually. Its eyes lit up as it sent a voice transmission: “Sure thing! I want an overbearing and awe-inspiring name!”

“How about Little Gold?”

“Not good!”

“How about Little Qiang? Qiang means power.”

“No!”

“Since you are a Heaven-Swallowing Beast, how about Little Heaven?”

“That doesn’t sound nice!”

“You want something overbearing and awe-inspiring? In that case, how about Little Might, or Little Ferocious, or even Little Overbearing?”

“I like Little Ferocious! From now on, I will be called Little Ferocious!”

“…”

Jiang Yi rolled his eyes. This Heaven-Swallowing Beast seemed to be very immature; it actually liked such a strange name. However, thinking about the fact that this Heaven-Swallowing Beast had just been born, Jiang Yi didn’t find it that strange anymore.

“Alright, from now on, your name is Little Ferocious. You can call me master, or young master, or boss as well!”

Jiang Yi continued to talk to the little beast to build up a rapport. The little beast, however, shook its head and sent a voice transmission: “Since I am called Little Ferocious, you will be called Big Ferocious. From now on, I will call you Big Ferocious!”

“I…”

Jiang Yi felt as if he had smashed his own foot. However, the little beast was very excited as it jumped on his shoulder. Jiang Yi was just about to persuade it to change his name when a yellow sand worm shot up in front. The little beast’s eyes suddenly grew cold as it sent a voice transmission: “Big Ferocious, five men are approaching from up ahead!”

“Five?”

Jiang Yi’s eyebrows rose as he said, “Little Ferocious, ask the yellow sand worms to conceal themselves.”

“Alright, Big Ferocious! Ji-Ji—”

The little beast let out a soft cry as all the yellow sand worms around started tunneling downwards. Soon, they had tunneled a hundred thousand feet down. Jiang Yi did not want others to know that he could control the yellow sand worms. Since only five men had approached, they should not be god bandits.

Swish!

Before long, five shadows shot towards Jiang Yi from ahead; they were very fast. Five divine senses had also locked onto Jiang Yi from afar. Four of these divine senses actually belonged to Demon-Killing Battle God-level martial artists while the last was from a Demon-Killing Battle King.

“A Demon-Killing Battle General?”

There was a blue-haired young master that was being led by the other four. He wore the Demon-Killing Pavilion’s battle armor. He was only a Demon-Killing Battle King, though his status seemed to be the highest. He swept a look at Jiang Yi and suddenly lifted a hand to stop his entourage. He looked at Jiang Yi and said, “This Spiraling Clouds Mountain is very dangerous. Your strength is too weak, and you will be easily killed. Hurry up and leave this place!”

This young master’s tone was quite polite. He had even stopped purposely to give Jiang Yi a warning. Jiang Yi suddenly felt a sliver of goodwill towards him as he nodded and said courteously, “Many thanks, my Lord, I will leave now.”

“Young Master, let’s go. We cannot let the target escape. Old Third and the others would probably not be able to take him down!”

One of the Demon-Killing Battle Gods near the young master started to speak. The blue-haired young master looked at Jiang Yi and nodded. With a wave of his hand, the four Demon-Killing Battle Gods brought him along speedily to go and chase their target. After Jiang Yi watched the five leave, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Target?

So many formidable martial artists had come from the Demon-Killing Pavilion this time. They had all come to kill the Poison Spirit. Could it be the target these people spoke of was the Poison Spirit?

Chase!

Jiang Yi thought about it and immediately chased after the five. Since he was running about aimlessly at the moment to kill god bandits, he might as well follow them to see if the target was really the Poison Spirit or not.
