Chapter 967: Devour Each Other

Flying swiftly for a long time with the little she-fiend in his hand, Wu Qi finally returned to the topside of Pangu Continent. Then, he went into a mountain range blanketed by countless thunderclouds in the newborn land surrounded by lightning and chaotic energy. There, he found a small cave and brought her inside, throwing her to the ground.

For the entire journey, she had been gritting her teeth, with her eyes narrowed and a dazed look upon her face. She was working hard to break the restrictive formation Wu Qi had constructed in the core of her divine soul. If she succeeded, she could certainly teach Wu Qi a hard lesson with her cultivation base. But, Wu Qi’s attainment in the Dao of Formation was not something she could match. All her various fiend techniques and divine abilities were given to her at birth, and so far, she had been acted like a tyrant with only her innate talents. She had yet to learn the rudiments of unorthodox knowledge such as the Dao of Formation, alchemy, artifact refinement, and divination.

It was like a nursery student trying to prove Goldbach’s conjecture ¹ . Along the way, she had been carefully probing the formation with her divine sense and trying to break it, but the result was that she was coughing up blood all the way and was nearly killed by the backlash. The formation constructed by Wu Qi was extremely vicious. It had controlled all her blood essence and divine soul, so a slight touch at it immediately shook the blood and energy inside her whole body. It was only because of her strong vitality that she was not killed by the formation.

In the long, deep cave, the little she-fiend lay feebly on the ground, almost dying as she fixed her dreamy, seductive eyes on Wu Qi. Her two tiny fangs were barely visible, as if she was eager to rip a few chunks of flesh off him.

Her long hair were disheveled, exposing a large part of her fair skin that the small armor could not cover. Her petite body made her look like a teenage girl thirteen or fourteen years old, and not a fiend who had lived for some three hundred thousand years.

Wu Qi glanced unscrupulously at her delicate, beautiful, and charming body, then suddenly said in a deep voice, “What’s your name?”

She gave him a glare of contempt, then turned her head away as she snorted coldly and said, “We never tell outsiders our names.” She sneered, then went on proudly, “We, the clan of Shapeless Heavenly Fiends from the outer domain, master all kinds of mighty divine abilities at birth. If our true names were learned by outsiders, part of our essence fiend power would be seized, and we could even be secretly controlled by others with magic. So, do you think I will tell you my name?”

Wu Qi opened his mouth, wordless for a moment. This little she-fiend was indeed one of the Shapeless Heavenly Fiends from the outer domain! Their fiend techniques were more akin to spiritual attacks. They were proficient in all kinds of invisible spells, and had the abilities to transform into light or gas, which allowed them to travel without a trace and hurt someone in the dark. Moreover, they were good at devouring others’ blood essence and energy. Of all the fiends in the outer domain, they were the fiercest, greediest, most brutal, and vindictive.

No wonder she never gave up on chasing Wu Qi. Anyone unlucky enough to be targeted by a Shapeless Fiend would get the same treatment. They would pursue the enemy for countless incarnations, and would not give up until the enemy perished. In Buddhist League, there were often eminent monks who offended Shapeless Fiends of some outer domain in their previous lives, and were later pursued for tens of thousands of incarnations. In the end, even though they had become Buddhas, many were secretly assaulted by the fiends and eventually died from making critical mistakes during their meditation.

This little she-fiend was one of the Shapeless Heavenly Fiends, and she seemed to be the kind who was still young and with an immature mind. As Wu Qi looked at this beautiful and cute she-fiend, a naughty thought suddenly came to him. He squatted next to her, then pinched her cheek hard and said with an evil smile, “We are alone in this dark cave, and yet you are so rude to me…Aren’t you afraid I’ll do something to you?”

She gave Wu Qi a surprised look. Suddenly, she giggled and lightly twisted her body, then said in a proud voice, “As long as you don’t beat me, why should I be afraid of you? Who in the Chaotic World dares to bully us, the Shapeless Heavenly Fiends, with those means?”

That gave Wu Qi a pause, and he could not help but shudder. ‘She is right…I can’t simply torture her with those obscene means.’ Generally, Shapeless Fiends liked to suck others’ energy essence. Anyone touched by their hands or feet would have his energy essence completely drained, let alone having an intimate session with them.

Both of them stared at each other for a while, then Wu Qi suddenly laughed. “Interesting…If that is the case, let me give it a try!”

Wu Qi’s eyes shone with an evil gleam as he placed one hand on her brow and the other on her stomach. His innate thievery energy exploded out, and all the Primal Purple Energy in him converted into thievery energy, quietly seeping into her body and fusing into her limbs and cells. He smiled at her and said, “Your cultivation base is too high and your strength is too strong. I dare not keep you like this by my side. Well, I’ll not stand on ceremony with your cultivation base.”

A buzzing sound rang out as a halo composed of colorful rays and chaotic energy spread out in all directions, filling the entire cave in a flash. Meanwhile, an enormous power began to rush out of the little she-fiend’s body and pour into Wu Qi, which he quickly refined into his own magic power with the Heaven Refining Grand Magic. Meanwhile, as the core of her divine soul was wide open before him, he took the opportunity to steal her memories related to the divine abilities and mystic arts of the Shapeless Fiends. An endless stream of profound aura crazily gushed out of her and rapidly fused with his divine soul.

Her divine abilities, mystic arts, and innate talents were quickly absorbed by Wu Qi; her magic power and cultivation base plunged as they continued to pour over to him, being refined by him into Primal Purple Energy and stored inside his body. Soon afterward, purple clouds began to roll over from all directions into the cave, pouring wisps of virtues at him. The Heavenly Dao had perceived that he was torturing the she-fiend, so it immediately bestowed him virtues as a reward of getting rid of an invading fiend.

However, as he was now only wearing down her cultivation base but not killing her, the virtues were like a fine drizzling rain. If he did kill her, he would be rewarded with virtues that were not lesser than the ones he had received when he killed Torch Dragon.

As an invading fiend, this little she-fiend had posed a great threat to all the native living beings in Pangu World. If Wu Qi annihilated her, it was as if he had removed a mortal malady for the Heavenly Dao, and he would certainly be rewarded with a great amount of virtues.

In the short span of a few breaths, Wu Qi’s cultivation base had risen to the third-tier of Dao Breaking realm. The little she-fiend’s cultivation base was only at the peak level of Dao Breaking realm, but inside her body was contained a terrifying amount of energy essence. On top of that, Wu Qi was shocked to find out that her aptitude was definitely that of the Dao Fusing realm. If she were given some time to fuse with the Heavenly Dao of this world, she would definitely step into the realm of Dao Fusing without any obstacle, and very likely become one of the strongest figures in that realm.

‘This fella is truly blessed with gifts of nature! Heaven knows how she was conceived by the Chaotic World! I can’t believe the energy essence in her is not weaker than a Dao Fusing expert, even though she is only three periods old! What a freak!’

Delighted with the discovery, Wu Qi hastened the circulation of thievery energy and frantically plundered her energy essence, turning them into his own. The little she-fiend’s eyes grew wide in fright. She had always been the one who plundered the energy essence of others, and no one could take any advantage of her. Over the past three periods, she had hurt uncountable mighty living beings in the Chaotic World, and she had never suffered such a loss.

She shrieked and activated her innate divine ability, beginning to crazily plunder Wu Qi’s energy while ignoring the fact that the core of her divine soul was still under his control.

Wu Qi quivered violently as his energy was rapidly sucked away by her. But, it was obvious that her speed was not as fast as his; no matter how she gritted her teeth and cursed, he was always ten times faster than her. As she roared in exasperation, both of them kept on devouring each other’s energy essence.

In the blink of an eye, over a month had passed. Gradually, Wu Qi’s cultivation base had improved from the third tier to the second tier of the Dao Breaking realm, then from the second tier to the first tier. After another month, three months after they began to devour each other’s energy essence, his cultivation base climbed steadily up to the peak level of the Dao Breaking realm, and twenty percent of the little she-fiend’s natal energy essence was plundered by him.

That was when she became really furious. Her eyes gleamed madly as she threw her head back and howled. Her armor, which was pitifully small to begin with, suddenly fell off, revealing her curvy and flawless body. A lustful aura exuded from inside her and enveloped Wu Qi as she hissed, “How could I lose out on you? Today, between the two of us, only one shall stand and the other shall fall!”

Wu Qi felt something squeezing at him around his waist, and was shocked to find that it was actually her pair of strong long legs. Meanwhile, the protective clothing he was wearing, which he had forged for himself, suddenly shattered. With that, the little she-fiend, her face twisting and ferocious, sat down hard on him. Immediately, the two of them were seamlessly connected.

A heartrending cry echoed out. It was the first time she let someone enter her, and the pain was so intense that it made her see stars and her body twitch. Biting Wu Qi hard on the shoulder, she growled vaguely, “I’ll turn you into a mummy today!”

Like a black hole, she began to crazily suck Wu Qi’s energy essence at a speed that was ten thousand times faster.

Wu Qi was astounded; his energy essence was pouring out of him, and his cultivation base abruptly plunged from the peak-level of Dao Breaking realm to the second tier! Only then did he understand the horror of this little she-fiend. The Shapeless Fiends of outer domains were indeed the fiercest creatures in the universe.

In the meantime, a strong pleasure was rushing from where they were connected straight up into his spiritual ocean, nearly disintegrating and dispersing his divine soul. Wu Qi cried out in horror and immediately activated the restriction in the core of her divine soul, almost knocking her out. After that, the thievery energy circulated at full speed while the Heaven Refining Cauldron shot whistling out of his brows and sucked both of them in. It began to refine them with the Yuan Ling True Flame, as well as various innate divine flames and desolate flames.

The little she-fiend let out a bitter growl, “A Supreme Artifact of Primal! How could you be so shameless!”

The growl soon faded, and was replaced by soft, bone-churning moans that kept ringing out like a cat’s cry.

The days went by one after another.
