"What an enormous amount of spiritual essence!"
Di Shitian could feel the spiritual essence rushing through his body. He couldn't help but be overjoyed. He sighed inwardly, "Man is born with a Taoist Body and is blessed by the heavens. A cultivator at the eighth realm of Qi Refining has such an enormous amount of spiritual essence. If I absorb it, my injuries will be healed."
He couldn't help but be surprised. The spiritual essence contained in this cultivator's body was not inferior to the spiritual essence hidden in the giant centipedes he had eaten earlier, as well as the spiritual essence hidden in the flesh of the Centipede Queen. If he absorbed this spiritual essence, at least his injuries wouldn't be too serious.
He didn't think too much about it. He closed his eyes and silently circulated his cultivation technique, slowly circulating the remaining demonic energy in his body through his meridians. Essence Qi rolled in his body and rushed into his meridians. Under the guidance of the demonic energy, it circulated for a few cycles before being refined into strands of demonic energy. This caused the originally exhausted demonic energy to be replenished with every cycle.
All the pores on his body opened, and the Spirit Qi in the valley surged towards him, quickly entering his body through his pores and meridians. In the blink of an eye, the pitch-black Yao Qi had already covered the surroundings. It was impossible to see anything in the demonic fog.
Di Shitian's powerful digestive system was fully demonstrated at this moment. A whole person was swallowed into his stomach. If someone could see the situation in his stomach, they would clearly see that the cultivator inside was melting at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into strands of spiritual essence.
Part of the spiritual essence rose in his body and merged into his internal organs. Every inch of his flesh and blood made his body stronger. In the demonic fog, Di Shitian's countless wounds caused by the sword energy were healing at an astonishing speed under the nourishment of the spiritual essence. The wounds on both sides of his body seemed to have a life of their own. They wriggled on their own and slowly connected together, completely recovering to their original state.
The only thing that troubled Di Shitian was the Sword Qi that had rushed into his body. It was abnormally stubborn. Moreover, it was like two sworn enemies with the demonic force. When they collided, a powerful destructive force would erupt, wanting to fight to the death with the demonic force.
Although Di Shitian personally controlled the Demon Power to refine the Sword Qi bit by bit, the pain caused by the refining process was far beyond what an ordinary person could endure.
"Boom boom boom!!"
As Di Shitian was absorbing the essence energy produced by the refinement of the cultivators, Ying Kong went to notify him and led the way up in the sky. Every so often, the ground would rumble and the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard coming from outside the valley. It sounded as though a large group of wild beasts were running furiously. The tremors shook the earth.
"Eagle Kong, King is injured, how can you leave? You should stay by King's side and protect him. What if something happens while King is injured?"
Bai Susu shouted.
"That's right, Eagle Kong. If King is injured because of this negligence, I, Yuan Tian, will not let you go." Yuan Tian's rough voice rang out.
"We've reached the valley. Everyone, stay here. The four of us will go in quickly." Baiyue shouted. With a whoosh, he rushed in from outside the valley. Soon after, the other leaders rushed in as well. Their first reaction after entering was to quickly scan the valley with their eyes.
When they saw that there was a place in the valley that was shrouded by a thick black fog, their eyes immediately brightened. They quickly rushed to the front of the black fog. Without saying anything, the four of them directly stood in four directions, tightly guarding the black fog in the middle. Having witnessed Di Shitian's cultivation, they naturally knew that the person in the black fog was their King.
All of them opened their eyes wide and scanned their surroundings with gleaming eyes. They didn't let go of even the slightest movement.
Of course, Huo Niu, who was still lying on the ground in the valley, didn't escape their sight. Huo Niu was also severely injured. The wounds on his body weren't any less than Di Shi Tian's. However, under the coagulation of the blood, the wounds were no longer bleeding. Lying on the ground, Huo Niu's eyes revealed a kind of gloomy luster. It was incomparably dim, as if it had lost its life.
The only thing that told them that he was still alive was the grief in his eyes. This was already a very human expression. It was obvious that his intelligence and spirituality were not below that of Bai Yue and the other three leaders.
"Did King get injured because he wanted to save him?" Bai Susu looked at Huo Niu with a hint of hostility. In her opinion, the reason why the king was injured was entirely because of this fire bull.
Bai Yue glanced at Huo Niu and said, "Bai Susu, Huo Niu might be on our side." Wolf King had been by Sakra's side since the beginning. Along the way, he naturally knew that for all the spiritual beasts that could be subdued, King spared no effort to bring them under his command. Looking at the current situation, he realized that Huo Niu might become their brother.
"Yes!"
Ying Kong and Yuan Tian nodded involuntarily when they heard that. Clearly, they agreed with Wolf King's opinion.
"Whoosh!"
Under the protection of the four leaders, two hours passed in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, the demonic fog that hadn't changed all this while started to surge violently. Bai Susu and the others were delighted when they saw that. Under their watchful eyes, the demonic fog only surged for a while before it quickly gathered in the center. It was as if gas had suddenly expanded and then started to contract in the next instant.
In the blink of an eye, the demonic mist dissipated completely. Then, a huge body stood in the middle of the demonic mist. It was a black tiger. The black tiger's body was abnormally huge. It was at least twice the size of an ordinary tiger. The tiger's might was awe-inspiring, and a powerful domineering aura was constantly being emitted from the purple King Mark on its forehead.
It intimidated all living beings!
The black tiger was none other than Di Shitian. When he opened his eyes and saw Bai Susu and the others standing guard around him, his heart sank. "Bai Yue, Yuan Tian, did you bring the rest of your tribesmen with you?"
"King, the rest of our tribesmen are outside the valley. Only the four of us entered the valley to protect you. King, how are your injuries? "Bai Susu asked hesitantly. She stared at Di Shitian with widened eyes.
"My injuries are no longer a problem. I can't stay here any longer. Get out of here and gather the troops. We'll leave this place immediately." Di Shitian's eyes flashed. He didn't know if Zhong Yunfei would call for reinforcements after escaping. The sooner they left, the safer they would be.
Bai Yue and the others saw this and left the valley to gather their troops. In an instant, only Di Shitian and the half-dead Huo Niu were left in the valley.
"There's nothing sadder than a dead heart!"
When Di Shitian saw the look in the Huo Niu's eyes, he understood why the Huo Niu was like this. With intelligence, it cared about more things. For example, it cherished and loved its own children more. The Huo Niu's little Huo Niu had already died under Zhong Yunfei's Demon Slaying Sword. It also fought a battle with cultivators like Zhong Yunfei and the others. It understood that there was no hope for revenge.
As soon as his hope was extinguished, a feeling of sadness and despair arose in his heart. Disregard for life. That was why it had that look in its eyes.
"Huo Niu, I saved you because I saw your talent and wanted to take you under me. Now it seems that what I saved is just a waste." Di Shitian came in front of the Huo Niu and looked at it coldly. He said without any trace of politeness, "I don't accept waste. If you still want revenge, get up yourself and follow me. I will give you strength."
After saying those words, Di Shi Tian did not say anything else. Without the slightest reluctance, he turned around and walked towards the outside of the valley. His footsteps were rather steady, as if he did not care about Huo Niu's life or death, or even whether it would follow him. Just like that, he left the valley.
"Howl!"
The gloomy look in the Huo Niu's eyes suddenly began to dissipate. Replacing it was a deep hatred and burning expectation. Its eyes began to have the color of hope.
With a low roar, the Huo Niu struggled to stand up from the ground. The wounds on its body, which had already coagulated, cracked again. Blood flowed out from the wounds. Its four legs were a little weak because of excessive blood loss. But the Huo Niu didn't care. Its eyes stared at the direction Di Shitian left. Looking again at the little Huo Niu, which had been shattered into countless pieces by the sword qi behind it, its hatred was even deeper. Step by step, he moved his body and firmly followed the direction of Sakra's departure.
There was hatred between humans. In order to take revenge, they could endure all kinds of pain. But among animals, hatred was remembered more deeply. It was more unforgettable.
Outside the valley, the migration team began to move again, moving forward at a fast pace.
Di Shitian was outside the valley, but when the Huo Niu stood up again, there was a trace of approval in his eyes. He believed that as long as the Huo Niu stood up, in the future, there would be one more powerful helper by his side. Hatred was often a powerful catalyst in cultivation. It would greatly accelerate the speed of cultivation.
"Strength. Powerful strength."
Di Shitian silently warned himself in his heart. If he didn't have powerful strength, it would be difficult for him to take even a single step in the Southern Barbaric Mountain Range. This time, what really made him feel like he had gained something was that when he swallowed that cultivator, he discovered that the blood essence and Essence Qi in the cultivator's body was really quite enormous. After swallowing him, he had absorbed almost fifty percent of the enormous power in the body of the eighth level Qi Refining cultivator.
This fifty percent was also quite enormous. It was equivalent to fifty percent of the cultivator's cultivation when he was alive. This caused the enormous injuries to his body to be completely healed in a short period of time.
"This won't do. Right now, I'm only a demon. I don't have the ability to open up a Demon Manor. I can only extract fifty percent of the Essence Qi hidden in the blood food. I can't do anything about the remaining fifty percent and will have to waste it. If I open up a Demon Manor and become a demon beast, I'll be able to absorb seventy percent of the Essence Qi from the blood food. "
