Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

#428 - Cannibalism

Yu Chun was the first to notice that Li Chengfeng seemed a bit off. He was puzzled; why would Li Chengfeng provoke those monks?

Then, a startling discovery dawned on him: every time Li Chengfeng killed someone, he obtained Myriad-Year Spiritual Milk from them.

So far, Li Chengfeng had acquired two portions of Myriad-Year Spiritual Milk. Clearly, such actions would invite retaliation, and Li Chengfeng seemed to be anticipating such an opportunity to seize more treasures.

Yu Chunmei, with her sharp intellect, immediately noticed a demonic cultivator approaching their direction.

These stone pillars seemed to have their own operational rules, beyond human control.

He roared, then waved his hands, and three flying swords, accompanied by purple flames, streaked across the sky like shooting stars, heading straight for the demonic cultivator.

Faced with this sudden attack, the Fire Demon didn't panic. He roared and summoned two flaming war hammers, desperately blocking, and easily deflected two of the flying swords.

However, the third flying sword pierced through the Fire Demon's chest like a ghost, not only taking his life but also seizing his storage bag, before returning to Yu Chunmei's hand.

As the Fire Demon fell, the stone pillar beneath him collapsed with a roar, turning into a giant mouth that devoured him.

However, this power wasn't absorbed by the surrounding chaos; instead, it all converged into Yu Chun's stone pillar, making it even taller.

Everyone then realized that killing an opponent not only granted them Myriad-Year Spiritual Milk but also strengthened their own stone pillar.

They noticed that Li Chengfeng's stone pillar was already significantly taller than everyone else's, a clear result of his consecutive killings.

At this moment, another Fire Demon slowly approached Li Chengfeng.

This Fire Demon's cultivation had reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment. He wore spiritual armor and his face was covered in strange patterns.

He grinned, revealing a row of white teeth, and taunted Li Chengfeng: "Boy, get out of here! This place belongs to me!

I finally understand why you're so bloodthirsty! It's to make your stone pillar stronger and obtain more Myriad-Year Spiritual Milk!"

Li Chengfeng said: "You talk too much."

With that, he waved his hand, and with a hum, five hundred Heaven-Devouring Insects instantly burst forth.

The Fire Demon roared and spewed out a thick black flame, filled with a heavy stench and fishy odor. However, these Heaven-Devouring Insects moved as if in an empty realm, directly passing through the flames.

The ineffectiveness of the flames shocked the Fire Demon. "This is impossible! My unique flame is hard for even second-order demons to withstand. How can these insects resist it?"

Before he could finish speaking, he let out a shrill scream. His divine sense had been devoured by the Heaven-Devouring Insects. Immediately, the swarm landed on him, devouring him completely in moments. His storage bag was also taken, and his stone pillar collapsed.

In contrast, Li Chengfeng's stone pillar quietly grew another inch.

Seeing this, the Core Formation cultivators present perked up and began attacking the Foundation Establishment cultivators on the opposing side.

Spiritual Flame Fairy didn't hesitate. With a wave of her hand, a flaming silver hairpin shot out from her hand. This was a magical treasure, engraved with a fire phoenix pattern, and it fiercely attacked the demonic cultivator like a raging flame.

Spiritual Flame Fairy was able to act so freely because Li Chengfeng and Yu Chun, whom she had brought, were both capable assistants.

Yu Chun now displayed seasoned combat skills, a far cry from his former timid self.

Li Chengfeng was even more terrifying, casually unleashing five hundred Heaven-Devouring Insects, causing all the demonic cultivators to shrink back.

In this situation, the demonic cultivators were extremely passive. The four Core Formation cultivators had to concentrate their fire on the opposing Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Magical treasures flew, darting across the ground and through the sky, and screams rang out from time to time.

The Core Formation cultivators killed even faster, but they didn't dare to indiscriminately slaughter. They could only wait for the enemy to approach, and anyone not on their side would be killed without mercy.

Yu Chun was filled with anticipation because he found that each kill made his stone pillar more stable, slowly but continuously improving.

At this moment, another monk approached Li Chengfeng, his body radiating Buddhist light. He grabbed the prayer beads around his neck, which were inlaid with eighteen beads.

He shook the prayer beads violently and said, "Boy, you killed my junior brother. I will avenge him and send you to eternal bliss!"

With that, he threw the prayer beads, and the eighteen beads instantly shot through the air, bursting with Buddhist light. Then, the Buddhist light faded, transforming into eighteen emerald green skull heads.

These skull heads had emerald green eyes, and each opening and closing of their mouths emitted demonic sounds that disturbed the mind.

Afterward, the monk took out a poisoned needle from his sleeve and flicked it towards Li Chengfeng.

This poisoned needle was silent and extremely light, making it difficult for ordinary divine sense to detect.

Faced with the eighteen skull heads, Li Chengfeng remained unmoved. He flicked his finger, and instantly, Heaven-Devouring Insects swarmed out, devouring the skull heads completely in moments.

And that flying needle, although extremely poisonous and coated with potent venom, was silent and moved at a moderate speed, making it a great tool for sneak attacks, but it couldn't escape Li Chengfeng's divine sense.

He remained as steady as Mount Tai. A Heaven-Devouring Insect flew out and instantly bit the flying needle, starting to tear it apart.

These Heaven-Devouring Insects devoured everything, spiritual or not. Soon, the spiritual power of the flying needle was completely devoured, and it fell like scrap metal.

The monk's heart shattered at the sight, but he was helpless because there were rules here, and other than fighting, there was no other way.

Just as the monk was about to use his methods, the Heaven-Devouring Insects swarmed over him. With a scream, the monk perished.

The more people Li Chengfeng killed, the more Foundation Establishment cultivators floated towards him.

Initially, people didn't pay attention, assuming it was the rule of the Soul Imprisoning Hall.

But the Spiritual Flame Fairy's expression changed drastically. She was the first to notice something was amiss: all those floating towards Li Chengfeng were Foundation Establishment cultivators, not a single Core Formation cultivator. This was clearly illogical. Li Chengfeng's luck seemed too good.

Li Chengfeng continuously killed over a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators, but still, his expression remained unchanged as he sat cross-legged on his stone pillar.

At this point, his stone pillar was taller and more solid than everyone else's.

Clearly, the taller and more solid the stone pillar, the more restrictions of this place he could mobilize, which made the surrounding people's scalps tingle.

The demonic cultivators present, Spiritual Flame Fairy, Jingxin Monk, Duan Ning, all of their faces changed drastically because most of the people they brought had died, leaving only a few lone individuals.

Among them, Yu Chun was also heavily injured. Although he hadn't died, his combat power in the upcoming battles was negligible.

If it weren't for the Spiritual Flame Fairy's rescue, he would have probably fallen already.

The Spiritual Flame Fairy narrowed her eyes, her charming aura intensified, and she questioned Li Chengfeng: "So you can mobilize the restrictions of this place. This is all your doing, deliberately leading us to kill each other.

What exactly is your purpose? Do you want to use us to kill each other, while you alone enjoy the treasures?"

As soon as these words came out, the Core Formation cultivators revealed fierce expressions, their gazes shooting towards Li Chengfeng like venomous snakes choosing their prey.

Li Chengfeng smiled calmly and replied: "Spiritual Flame Fairy truly has discerning eyes.

To be honest, what I initially used was not a method of cracking the formation, but an attempt to invade the formation here and use it for my own purposes.

The Soul Imprisoning Hall acts too evilly. If we follow its rules, I'm afraid we won't end well. I was also forced to do this."

The Spiritual Flame Fairy sneered: "What a 'forced to'! The original rule was for us to consume Myriad-Year Spiritual Milk, cultivate here, and comprehend the restrictions and forbidden techniques. If there were geniuses,

they would be favored by the Soul Imprisoning Hall and receive treasures. But you have arbitrarily changed the rules, causing us heavy casualties, and ultimately doing the work for you."

Jingxin Monk was so angry that he jumped up and down, losing all his dignified demeanor. The precept scars on his head seemed to shine in anger.

He berated: "Junior, your methods are ruthless, a crooked and evil path!

I didn't expect your formation skills to be so high. You deliberately raised the height of the stone pillars, causing us to meet and triggering fights.

Because only by killing more people will the stone pillars become taller, and then the chances of obtaining treasures will be higher. This illusion made us kill each other. What a deep calculation!"
