The benefit of having such a huge body was that Lu Sheng could absorb all the Devil Essence in the altar in one breath. His body expanded to a height of more than ten meters.
Large amounts of Devil Essence were converted by the Eight-Headed Divine Pearl into the purest Prime Devil Qi, which nourished every part of Lu Sheng's body.
He could feel that he was constantly becoming stronger, but he couldn't tell exactly how strong he was.
The Eight-Headed Divine Pearl was very likely to be a Power of the Origin level. With this as the foundation, the eight Devil Bodies would naturally be even more terrifying.
Lu Sheng was already a Holy Weapon expert above the upper three grades, and was close to the Holy Weapon level. After the Yin Flame was upgraded to the Eight-Headed Divine Pearl, his body was also greatly strengthened.
Now, he had also absorbed large amounts of King Shadow's Devil Essence. King Shadow had been sealed for too long, causing his Devil Essence to dry up. There was not much left, but it was still the Devil Essence of a Weapon Master Devil King. It was at least half of what he had at his peak.
Such a huge amount of Devil Essence was all absorbed by Lu Sheng in one breath.
What made people speechless was that Lu Sheng was supposed to explode and die because he had too much Devil Essence. He would become King Shadow's nourishment, helping him to escape.
But unfortunately, he had Deep Blue.
Just as he was about to collapse, Lu Sheng decisively used Deep Blue to derive a new level of the Ultimate Eight-Headed Devil Way.
Thus, his body was greatly strengthened. Although it cost him more than two hundred Mental Energy, he avoided the fate of exploding and dying. Instead, he ended up sucking King Shadow's Devil Essence dry.
After two consecutive qualitative changes, Lu Sheng's body finally broke through to another level. It was stable to a level that even he himself could not understand.
Countless amounts of Prime Devil Qi started to liquefy, and flowed slowly in his body through a strange network. Strangely, each small piece of his skin contained more than thirty different combinations of Prime Devil Qi patterns.
Prime Devil Qi and his flesh combined, forming a strange and extremely powerful state of balance.
"Since there's no more Devil Essence … I'll go back first." At this point, he already had the intention to leave.
In this place, he had encountered monsters, altars, and devil qi. If he still had Mental Energy, it would definitely be a good place to improve himself. However, Lu Sheng had used up most of his Mental Energy in one go.
Now that the Ultimate Eight-Headed Devil Way had advanced to the next level, he had reached a point where he could no longer cultivate either his secret techniques or his martial path.
If he hadn't absorbed enough Devil Essence here, he estimated that it would have taken him another six months to gather all the Devil Essence he needed to transform his Devil Body.
Lu Sheng's body quickly shrunk back to its original size. He looked around and found that the evil murmuring had disappeared. It seemed that the murmuring had stopped with the disappearance of the Devil Qi.
After the altar was lifted, a stone door could be vaguely seen on the ground behind it. Wisps of thin Devil Qi continuously gushed out from the stone door.
Lu Sheng frowned. He walked over and lowered his head to inspect it.
The stone door was as wide as two people, and it was covered in dense cracks. On both sides of the crack were many fine twisted symbols. The symbols formed a huge eye that seemed to be staring at everyone standing in front of the stone door.
The strangest thing was that the stone door was facing the ceiling of the cave.
Lu Sheng hesitated for a moment, then squatted down and gently touched the stone door, absorbing a wisp of Devil Qi.
"Hmm? This Devil Qi … is a little strange. "
Although the Devil Qi that seeped out from under the stone door couldn't compare to the amount in the altar, it was thicker than the average River of Poisoned Fog's water.
Moreover, it was mixed with a completely different Devil Qi than the ones he had absorbed before. It seemed that this Devil Qi was gentler and deeper.
"Roar …"
An inexplicable roar could be heard from under the stone door, as if there was something hidden below that was imprisoned and trying to escape.
'The next layer of the seal should be even stronger. But what's that roar? Judging from the changes in the altar, the sealed devil shouldn't have been able to break through the altar yet …' Lu Sheng placed his hand on the door and hesitated for a moment. He slowly activated the blood net, sucking the stone door up and lifting it up.
"Crack …"
The grayish-white stone door was slowly pulled open, revealing a dark and gloomy space below.
Lu Sheng hesitated for a moment, then leaped into the stone door and landed on the ground with a thud.
However, what he saw next caused his pupils to shrink.
Below them was the same huge cavern, and in the center was a similar altar that was even larger than the one they had seen before.
But the difference was that the altar this time was completely broken.
There was a rotten, ancient aura in the air. The ground of the huge cave was littered with fragments of the altar and some human clothing. There were also white bones piled in the corner.
The pile of bones was unremarkable, looking like the junk in a normal person's house.
Lu Sheng used the faint light from the cave to carefully look around. The four walls were covered with huge, deep claw marks, as if some ferocious Behemoth had struggled here.
"This place … the altar was broken long ago??" His face darkened. The altar was broken, which meant that the sealed devil must have escaped.
But what was puzzling was that the escaped devil did not alert the Prime Devil Sect at all. After being sealed for so many years, the devil was willing to escape just like that?
Lu Sheng was puzzled. He raised his guard and slowly walked towards the altar.
"Szzz …"
Suddenly, the sound of sand rubbing against each other came from the side.
Lu Sheng looked over. In the darkness, he could vaguely make out two humanoid monsters more than two meters tall. Their bodies were made of flowing sand, and they were slowly walking toward him.
"The Devil Qi isn't very thick. Are they monsters that evolved after being contaminated?" Lu Sheng did not even look at the two sand men. The blood web moved slightly.
"Szzz!"
With two crisp sounds, the two sand men collapsed to the ground, turning into the most basic grayish-brown sand.
The blood web was a powerful move evolved from Lu Sheng's martial arts training. The more he used it, the more convenient and smoother it became. Now, after combining the negative force field effects of the Ultimate Eight-Headed Devil Way, once the blood web was used, anyone below the Snake realm would not even be qualified to talk to Lu Sheng.
Instant kill.
Crossing the two piles of sand, Lu Sheng walked to the altar.
He reached out and slowly touched the gap on the front of the altar. There was a crack on it that looked like it had been smashed by a huge force.
"It's a seal broken by an external force …" He frowned slightly.
"Puff!"
A ball of red flame ignited in his hand, illuminating the messy cave around him.
Lu Sheng maintained the flame with inner Qi and began to slowly walk around the cave, inspecting it.
Soon, some clothes and bones in the corner that had not completely decayed entered Lu Sheng's sight.
He walked over and jumped up to take a look. He found a piece of clothing that was still wearable, so he casually put it on.
Just as he pulled up the clothes on the ground, the bones moved, and a small metal gourd rolled out from within. It was about the size of half a palm.
"This is …?" Lu Sheng made a grabbing motion, and the gourd flew into his hand on its own.
A wave of pure Mental Energy flowed into him from the gourd.
"This has Mental Energy as well …? Over 20 points. That's not much. "Lu Sheng finished absorbing the Mental Energy and tossed it aside.
This was exactly what he needed right now. After tossing the gourd aside, Lu Sheng walked toward the second corner of the bones.
This time, he found a brush made of metal. Apart from the fact that the tip of the brush had turned into powder and could no longer be used, the metal brush provided Lu Sheng with more than ten Mental Energy.
"Interesting …" Lu Sheng's interest was piqued. He continued to flip the bones on the ground. The bones in the cave were piled up against the wall. There were still many that he could flip through.
"Roar!"
At this moment, a low roar like that of a lion sounded. A blurry black shadow appeared in the center of the cave.
'Since I'm down here, I'll check if I have more Mental Energy. I'll also clean up the Devils here and lay a good foundation for the Prime Devil Sect above ground.' Lu Sheng hesitated for a moment, but still walked slowly toward the direction of the sound.
Upgrading the Ultimate Eight-Headed Devil Way required more than 200 Mental Energy. His Mental Energy consumption was much higher than before.
To Lu Sheng, a dozen or so Mental Energy was like a fly's meat. He desperately needed more Mental Energy to prepare for the upgrade of his Devil Body. This place seemed to have a long history, and it was very likely that there was a mysterious item with a lot of Mental Energy here.
"Chi!"
Suddenly, a beam of green light shot toward him. It was extremely fast, and it hit Lu Sheng right in the middle of his chest.
The green light landed precisely on his chest, accompanied by a strong corrosive sound. Lu Sheng felt a faint pain in his chest.
Right now, he was only in Yin Extreme Mode. His body size was the smallest, and his defense was also the weakest. After being struck, Lu Sheng lowered his head and glanced at the spot where he had been struck. There were faint signs of grayish-white petrification.
'I can use the Prime Devil Secret Skill to clean it up. I can even devour a lot of Prime Devil Qi in the process.' He raised his head and looked in the direction where the green light came from. In the darkness, a giant white wolf was slowly walking over on its hind legs.
The wolf's eyes were blood-red. A semi-circular rune appeared on its forehead, and its mouth glowed with green light.
"Growl …"
The wolf was more than two meters tall, which was the same height as Lu Sheng. It kept growling threateningly.
"A new species I've never seen before …" Lu Sheng murmured. He patted the dust off his hands and calmly walked toward the wolf.
"Growl …"
The wolf pounced forward, swung its claws, and opened its mouth to bite. The three movements were executed in one smooth motion. Its explosive power was shocking.
But even though it was fast, Lu Sheng was faster.
His right arm shot out like lightning, and accurately pressed against the strange rune on the wolf's forehead.
"Bam!"
The hand and the wolf's head collided violently, and a circle of white dust exploded. Under the force, the light in the wolf's eyes quickly dimmed, and gradually disappeared.
A ball of purplish-black flames instantly burned on the wolf's body, illuminating a small area of darkness around it.
"This amount?" Suddenly, Lu Sheng was slightly stunned. He felt an extremely pure and unique Devil Qi enter his body.
The total amount of Devil Qi exceeded his expectations by quite a bit. It was about one percent of the total amount in his body.
"Why is there so much?"
He let go of the wolf's corpse, and let it turn into a pile of black dust.
