Dual Cultivation: I Summon Villainesses of Mythic Era-Chapter 13: I missed this feeling so much

< Primordial Art of Devouring >

The Rakshasas let out death rattles as their bodies withered before his eyes.

He closed his eyes, savoring the flow of power that traveled up his arm to condense at the level of his Dantian. He felt every particle of energy cross his meridians like a beneficial wave. An intense heat spread throughout his body, and he could not hold back a slight shiver of satisfaction.

" Again " , he murmured while reopening his eyelids, his purple pupils shining with insatiable hunger. " This is not enough to reach the next stage. "

He then turned towards the rest of the pack. About ten Rakshasas, who had witnessed the scene, tried to flee. Their clawed paws scraped the ground in a disordered panic, but they had not taken three steps when the frail arms emerged again from BaiShe’s shadow.

The hundreds of hands seized the fugitives by the legs, by the neck, violently pulling them back toward the center of the crater.

The mouths located in the palms of the arms began to bite the flesh of the monsters.

The Omega symbol on his forehead shone with intensity. The light pulsed in rhythm with his heart, signaling that the Devourer’s Physique was operating at full capacity.

" Pure bliss " , he murmured. " This sensation had been missing me so much. "

He dropped the last dried-up corpse of a Rakshasa.

Around him, the battlefield looked like a gigantic slaughterhouse. Torn limbs lay scattered among crushed heads, and thick black blood like tar formed puddles that ate away at the stone with an acidic sizzle.

He swept his gaze over the extent of the carnage before turning his attention into the distance, toward the mountains looming on the horizon. BaiShe narrowed his eyes, and a thin smile stretched his lips.

" Well well," he said while raising an eyebrow, " Since our guest is arriving, might as well finish all this quickly. "

BaiShe turned his head slightly toward him, without answering immediately. He knew that this display of force had not gone unnoticed. That was in fact the intended goal. His strategy rested on a double objective: on one hand, he had to accumulate ever more power to face the trials to come, and on the other hand, he needed to attract Lin Feng. As a son of luck, the latter represented a prime prey that would bring him a substantial quantity of luck points.

And he already felt his presence.

" He will be here in a few minutes " , confirmed BaiShe.

In the middle of this scene of desolation, Xuan Ling progressed with caution. She had stopped in front of the remains of certain Rakshasas, while she was about to harvest their horns as proof..

An invisible but spiritually crushing shock wave swept over the area.

"What the !? Such a foul qi? "

It was not the pure Qi of a cultivator, nor the wild Khao of an ordinary Rakshasa, but a foul fusion, a vibration of Chaotic Qi that made her bones tremble.

" It makes me want to vomit... "

Ling’er froze instantly, her hand clenching.

Her body began inexorably to tremble, because of a certain trauma.

She took a deep breath, the air laden with Khao burning her lungs, but it helped her regain her footing in the present. Her golden eyes shone with a cold hatred.

’This pressure and this Chaotic Qi. It must be him, he has already started to release his true nature.’ she thought, her teeth clenching against her lips.

...

A few kilometers away, Huo Yan, a main disciple with flaming red hair, stopped dead. His heavy saber, a golden-rank weapon, began to vibrate violently.

He raised his eyes toward the darkening sky, a cold sweat beading on his forehead. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

" What is this suffocating presence ? " he growled, his voice resonating with a hint of worry.

" Is it a five-horned Rakshasa that has just awakened in the ruins ? No... that is not possible. The Chaotic energy emanating is far too malevolent for that of a five-horned Rakshasa. And at the same time quite different from khao."

He spat on the ground, gripping the hilt of his saber.

" *Cough*, If it is a monster of this level, killing it would secure me the position of direct heir. The Elders will no longer be able to ignore me. "

It was reckless, but he had confidence in his many treasures.

Without further hesitation, Huo Yan rushed in the direction of the source, his fire Qi creating an incandescent trail in the purple mist.

...

Not far from there, Su Ruo, a rather talented young cultivator, froze at the top of a marble pillar. Her blue eyes scanned the horizon with intensity. She felt her own meridians contract under the effect of this foreign aura.

" This pressure is abnormal. " she murmured, her fingers tracing an esoteric sign in the air.

" It looks like the Dao itself is collapsing at this precise location. Is it the appearance of a powerful Rakshasa ? " she wondered while narrowing her eyes.

She observed the spirit birds fleeing en masse from the central area of the mountain. While she saw the flaming trail of her martial brother heading toward that same zone.

" Huo Yan is already running toward his own death. This idiot does not understand that this energy is capable of eroding our Dantian before we can even lift a finger. However, if I stay back, I might lose an opportunity. "

...

" Haha ! Look at this power ! " exclaimed Ming Bai while addressing his subordinates who were trembling behind him.

Only a few maids and servants he had brought with him.

" This is not a Rakshasa. It is undoubtedly a mythical treasure that has just been unearthed by the movement of these mountain plates ! A treasure that emanates such an aura of domination can only belong to someone of my rank ! "

His subordinates exchanged worried glances. One of them dared to murmur : " But Young Master Ming... this energy seems demonic, even by the standards of the demonic clans. "

Ming Bai turned toward him, his face twisting with contempt.

" Idiot ! Power has no morality ! If I get my hands on the artifact that produces this vibration, I will surpass even Xuan BaiShe in the blink of an eye. This fake scholar will spend his time reading his books while I reign over the sect ! "

He soared, carried by a grayish Qi cloud, rushing headlong toward the center of the storm.
