Chapter 771
Overwhelming [3]
With the end of the wars in the outside world, the ancient god ruins—now called the "Eternal Heaven"—underwent an unprecedented transformation.
Su Chen sat on the enormous throne made from the "core of an ancient god," holding a winged bone he had taken from the Great Judge of Radiance. He picked his teeth as he watched the Demon Lord of Chaos below report on his work.
"My lord, as per your instructions, the renovation progress of our 'new home' is as follows:"
The Demon Lord of Chaos held a jade slip in his hands and read it aloud with great excitement:
"First, the [Liver Poison Realm] has been transformed into the 'Garden of Ten Thousand Herbs'. Qingluo (the Holy Maiden of the Wood Spirit Poison Clan) was still throwing a tantrum, but after drinking a sip of the 'Soup of the Power of All Beings' that you bestowed upon her, she is now crying and begging to plant herbs for you, vowing to build that place into the number one medicine storehouse in all the heavens."
"Secondly, the [Golden Realm of the Lungs] has been renamed the 'Divine Weapon Pavilion'. The Gengjin storm there is perfect for forging weapons. The nine-headed golden lion that you subdued is currently leading the group of Golden Bone Clan prisoners in forging inside, and it's extremely efficient."
"Third, the [Stomach Furnace] has been transformed into an 'Alchemy Room'. That stomach acid pool is practically a natural corpse-dissolving pool... oh no, a medicine-dissolving pool. Any material thrown in can be refined into its essence within three breaths."
Su Chen nodded in satisfaction.
"good."
"This ancient god's body is indeed very useful, keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer, and it has all the necessary functions."
"but……"
Su Chen frowned slightly and touched his chin.
"I always feel like something's missing."
"What are you lacking?" The Demon Lord of Chaos was taken aback. "My lord, we have soldiers and generals, medicine and mines, and even the defensive array is ready-made (Ancient God Skin). What else could we be lacking?"
Su Chen stood up, walked to the edge of the Divine Palace, and looked out at the vast starry sky through his eyes, which had transformed into the [Sun and Moon Divine Eyes].
"We're short of ingredients."
Su Chen sighed.
"That pot of 'mixed soup' is nourishing, but it's still inanimate. I want to get something fresh and raw."
"Especially those with firm, chewy meat, preferably with their own seasoning..."
Just as Su Chen was lamenting the "empty granary".
Sudden.
"Boom!!!"
The entire Eternal Heaven trembled violently. This tremor did not originate from within, but from the impact of some colossal entity from the outer cosmos!
Immediately afterwards, the Bone Demon Emperor (Skeleton Lord), who was on duty at the [Double Eyes Lookout] (the original location of the Ancient God's eyes), sounded a shrill alarm.
"Enemy attack!!!"
"My lord!! A huge thing has crashed into us!!"
"big guy?"
Su Chen's eyes lit up, and he was instantly wide awake.
"How big?"
"It's...it's ridiculously big!! It blocks out the stars!!"
……
【Beyond the Celestial Realm: The Starry Sky】
The starry sky was now shrouded in a huge shadow.
That wasn't a dark cloud, nor was it a fleet of warships.
It is a living, colossal cosmic beast, the size of a small planet!
It resembled a giant deep-sea whale, but its entire body was covered in black scales, each scale shimmering with starlight. Countless tentacle-like fleshy tendrils grew from its back, capturing and devouring meteorites in the void.
【Void Kunpeng】(Subspecies: Star-Devouring Whale)!
This is a predator at the top of the food chain in the starry sea, usually roaming deep space, feeding on dead stars and abandoned planes.
At this moment, the star-devouring whale was staring intently at the ancient god's corpse before it, its gaping maw large enough to swallow a continent.
Its mouth is covered with a long trail of saliva.
"It smells so good...it smells so good..."
The Star-Devouring Whale emitted a low, deep mental fluctuation.
It was attracted by the aroma of the "Soup of All Beings' Wish Power" that Su Chen had made earlier.
The aroma was so potent that it wafted across several star systems, making it a deadly temptation for a behemoth that evolved by devouring everything in its path.
In its eyes, the ancient god's corpse in front of it was a "super meat bun" that exuded an endless aroma of meat!
"Eat...eat it..."
Unable to suppress its instinctive greed, the Star-Devouring Whale swung its massive tail, powerful enough to shatter the void, and rammed fiercely into the ancient god's ruins.
Several small, stealth airships were lurking around it.
Those were top-tier spies left behind by Wanbaolou and Tianjige. They originally wanted to see how Su Chen would handle the spoils of war, but instead, they encountered this nemesis.
"It's over! It's an adult star-devouring whale!!"
The Tianji Pavilion spy turned ashen-faced, nearly crushing the jade slip in his hand.
"This thing has thick skin and tough flesh; even ordinary acquired treasures can't break it open! Moreover, it has its own 'black hole law' in its stomach, which allows it to devour everything!"
"Su Chen is in deep trouble this time! He just drove away the wolves (the Temple of Judgment), and now the tigers have arrived!"
"This star-devouring whale clearly sees the ancient god's ruins as food! If Su Chen dares to come out, he'll probably be swallowed whole!"
In the eyes of the spies, although Su Chen had achieved physical sainthood, he still appeared insignificant in front of such a giant star beast whose size was billions of times larger.
however.
Just as the Star-Devouring Whale opened its massive mouth, preparing to give the ancient god's ruins a "passionate kiss,"...
"Squeak-"
The once tightly closed mouth (entrance) of the ancient god's ruins suddenly opened.
A figure in a green robe floated out slowly, like a speck of dust.
Su Chen stood in the void, looking up at the colossal beast that blotted out the sky.
Because he was so close, he could even see a piece of meteorite debris stuck between the giant beast's teeth.
Su Chen neither drew his sword nor transformed.
He simply took a deep breath, and a kind smile, unlike anything he had ever seen before, appeared on his face.
That's the look an old farmer gives when he looks at the fattest pig in his own pigsty.
"I knew it!"
"What you keep in mind will surely come to pass."
"I was just thinking about eating fish when seafood was delivered to my door."
Su Chen wiped away the tears (drool) that were uncontrollably flowing from the corner of his mouth and waved to the Star-Swallowing Whale.
"Hey, big fish."
"Do you want it steamed or braised?"
The Star-Devouring Whale: "???"
Its enormous eyes rolled, seemingly not understanding what the "dust" was saying.
But it sensed the strong "soup smell" emanating from Su Chen.
"Fragrant...it's you...I'll eat you!!"
Without further hesitation, the star-devouring whale inhaled sharply with its massive jaws.
boom!!!
A terrifying gravitational vortex formed in the starry sky. Space, light, and meteorites within a radius of tens of thousands of miles were all forcibly pulled into its mouth.
Su Chen's figure was instantly swallowed up by the vortex.
"Haha! I've been eaten!"
The scouts in the distance exclaimed, "I told you! The size difference is too big! There's no way they can fight!"
However, the next second.
A faint voice came from the mouth (or rather, deep in the throat) of the star-swallowing whale.
"The meat is a bit tough."
"However, its advantage lies in its high oil content."
“Perfect timing, my ‘Divine Weapon Pavilion’ is missing a suitable fish-killing knife.”
……
The star-swallowing whale thought it had eaten a small insect.
But soon it discovered that the insect... was a little too hot to handle.
No, it's scalding hot!
"Roar----!!!"
The star-devouring whale suddenly let out a roar of extreme pain. Its massive body tumbled violently in space, smashing countless asteroids to pieces.
Suddenly, a large bulge appeared on its lower jaw.
Followed by.
"Sizzle—!!!"
A dazzling purple-gold light pierced through the softest part of its chin!
Blood gushed out like a waterfall, staining half the starry sky red.
Su Chen emerged from his wound, wielding a bone knife forged from the Fang of an Ancient God, his body covered in blood (all fish blood).
"Pooh."
Su Chen spat out a mouthful of bloody foam.
"The smell inside is too strong; I don't like eating it raw."
"It's more refined to slice and grill them."
Su Chen stood on the chin of the Star-Swallowing Whale, and compared to the size of the behemoth, he was still tiny.
But the bone knife in his hand exuded a sharpness that made the giant beast's soul tremble.
"rise!"
Su Chen let out a low shout. 【Heaven and Earth Form - Divine Demon Form】!
Rumbling--
Su Chen's body swelled up in the wind.
Ten zhang...hundred zhang...ten thousand zhang...hundred thousand zhang! !
In the blink of an eye, a chaotic giant, with the sun and moon above its head and stars beneath its feet, appeared in the starry sky. At this moment, although Su Chen was not as large as the Star-Devouring Whale, he already had the ability to fight it.
"Come here, little fish."
"Don't move."
"If you move it, the cut won't be even."
Su Chen suddenly reached out with one hand, like an iron clamp, and firmly gripped one of the dorsal fins of the Star-Swallowing Whale.
"Roar!!!"
The star-devouring whale roared in terror and struggled desperately. It sensed the threat of death! This wasn't a bug; it was clearly an ancient demon god far more ferocious than itself!
Its countless tentacles lashed out at Su Chen, each strike powerful enough to shatter mountains.
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
The tentacle slapped Su Chen's purplish-gold skin, sending up a series of sparks, but not even leaving a white mark.
"The massage pressure is good."
Su Chen grinned and swung the bone knife down suddenly.
[The Butcher's Knife Technique for Dissecting an Ox - Modified - Su Chen's Fish-Dissecting Style]!
Swish!Swish!Swish!Swish!
In the starry sky, a scene appeared that would be unforgettable for all the onlookers.
The chaotic giant, holding down the behemoth larger than a planet, wielded a bone knife so fast it was invisible.
Each cut precisely sliced into the gaps between the beast's scales, severing the fascia and peeling away the flesh.
"Tear--"
A huge piece of "top-grade pork back meat," as big as a mountain, was completely removed by Su Chen.
This piece of meat is crystal clear, with clear texture, and exudes an alluring starlight energy.
"This piece of meat is tender; let's save it for sashimi."
Su Chen casually tossed the piece of meat, which flew directly towards the ancient god ruins behind him and landed precisely in the still boiling "gastric juice cauldron".
"Roar...woowoo..."
The star-devouring whale was in so much pain that tears streamed down its face. It tried to run, but the giant's grip was too strong, and it used the law of gravity to pin it firmly to the spot.
This is not a fight at all.
This is slow slicing! It's done on the spot!
"Here... um, shark fin."
Su Chen's gaze locked onto the giant pectoral fin of the Star-Devouring Whale.
"It's a bit tough, so it's suitable for braising."
Click!
Knife up and down.
The pair of enormous pectoral fins, powerful enough to stir up a storm in the starry sky, were cut off by Su Chen at the root.
"Throw it in the pot!"
Two more loud "thumps" were heard, and the Hun Tian Demon Lord in the Eternal Heaven hurriedly ordered his demon army to add more fire.
"Turn up the heat! Shark fin is hard to stew!"
"Yes!!!"
The scouts in the distance were dumbfounded.
They watched as that once rampaging, domineering, all-consuming cosmic behemoth was now like a dead fish on a chopping board, being dismantled bit by bit by that man.
From back meat to shark fin, and then to belly meat...
In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
The once enormous star-devouring whale was reduced to a twitching skeleton and a head that still bore a terrified expression.
Su Chen did not kill it.
Because live meat is fresh.
"call……"
Su Chen shrunk back to normal size, stood on the huge skeleton, and wiped the blood off his knife.
He looked at the star-devouring whale, which now only had a head left.
Don't look at me like that.
"You've also consumed many planets and committed many sins."
"Being eaten by me today is a form of physical salvation, and also a blessing for you."
Su Chen reached out and gently patted the Star-Swallowing Whale's forehead.
"That's quite a big brain."
"I've heard that fish brains are good for the brain?"
"Perfect, I can give my less-than-stellar subordinates a boost."
After saying that, Su Chen plunged his knife into the skull of the Star-Devouring Whale and picked out the [Beast Core] (Soul Core) that was emitting a blue glow.
With its core detached from its body, this colossal beast that had traversed the starry sea finally breathed its last.
Su Chen threw the beast core into his mouth and crushed it like a walnut.
"Mmm, walnut flavor."
[Devouring the core of the Star-Devouring Whale Beast...]
[Gained Trait: Faster Void Travel (Increased Starfall Speed)!]
[Gained Trait: Iron Stomach (Digestive ability further enhanced)!]
After doing all this, Su Chen turned around and glanced at the "spies" who were still in a daze in the distance.
The spies from Tianji Pavilion and Wanbao Tower felt a sudden wetness in their crotches when Su Chen swept his bloodshot eyes over them.
"Great...Great King, spare my life!!"
"We're just passing by! Just passing through to buy soy sauce!!"
Su Chen smiled.
He pointed to the huge fish skeleton behind him and the pot of fragrant fish soup.
"Just passing by?"
"Perfect timing, all the dishes have just been served."
"Since you're all here, why don't you... come in and have a bowl of soup?"
"By the way, please pass on a message to your master."
Su Chen's voice became low and filled with a sense of pressure.
"Chang Sheng Tian has just opened and is in need of partners."
"Wanbaolou, is it? I have a batch of high-quality monster materials here (referring to the Radiant Wings, Thunder Spirit Orb, and Fish Bones), and I'd like to discuss business with you."
"Tell your host to come with sincerity."
"If they dare to bring weapons..."
Su Chen pointed to the pot of soup.
"We can add some more seasonings to this pot."
The spies nodded frantically, their heads practically bobbing up and down.
"I'll definitely bring it! I'll definitely bring it!!"
"Um... Su Shen, we won't have the soup! We'll go back and report right away!!"
After saying that, the spaceships seemed to have caught fire, accelerating at supercharged speed and disappearing into the horizon in an instant.
joke.
Soup?
Who knows if they might end up stewing themselves in that soup?
Watching the spies flee in disarray, Su Chen shrugged.
"What a shame."
He turned and flew back to the Eternal Heaven.
At this moment, the Demon Lord of Chaos and the Corpse Lord had already led tens of thousands of demon soldiers to surround the giant cauldron, each holding a huge bowl and waiting expectantly.
The aroma was so enticing that even the "blood beasts" in the ancient god's ruins were drooling.
"Lord!"
The crowd shouted in unison.
Su Chen waved his sleeves, exuding heroic spirit.
"My men!"
"Today is a good day!"
"A whole fish feast! All you can eat!!"
"After we finish this meal, we'll get down to business!"
Su Chen looked up at the deep, boundless sea of stars.
His ambition extends beyond just an ancient god's ruin.
Now that the physical body has become sacred, and the appetite has been whetted.
These myriad realms, countless stars...
Aren't they all just dishes on a plate?
"Who's next... to eat?" (End of Chapter)
