"Benefactor? Alas, it’s a pity the inheritance of the Heavenly Thunder Saint Emperor might have already been taken by someone else. I originally wanted that."

Ling Xiao sighed.

"That’s bullshit!"

The lightning humanoid suddenly cursed, "The knowledge that stupid Purple Lightning Thunder Bull possessed doesn’t even make up thirty percent of what I know.

What damn Heavenly Thunder Saint Emperor! The real Heavenly Thunder Saint Emperor is me! That fellow was only my steed, yet he dared to use my name."

What’s going on?

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao was a bit stunned. It seemed this lightning humanoid was the true Heavenly Thunder Saint Emperor?

"You might not believe me, but it doesn’t matter. Soon you will believe, once I’ve finished my last words, I’ll naturally give you my complete inheritance.

At that time, not only will your cultivation level undergo a major breakthrough, but you will also possess the genuine Soul Thunder Light Shield and the true Celestial Thunder Divine Guard martial skills and secret techniques.

What that stupid bull learned was merely the surface, no matter how much he cultivates, at most, he can reach Immortal Rank Second Layer Heaven martial arts, and even that is incomplete.

But the real Soul Thunder Light Shield and Celestial Thunder Divine Guard can advance with your cultivation level.

They can reach a height of Immortal Rank Nine Heaven!"

The lightning humanoid proudly said.

"Alright senior, I believe you, but surely there must be some requirements for granting me the inheritance?"

Ling Xiao didn’t believe that pies would fall from the sky without reason.

"There is a requirement. Do you know why our family was exterminated?"

He suddenly asked.

"I don’t know."

"That’s because, our family possessed a terrifying ’Devouring Demon Fetus’!

This demon fetus can devour the Ten Great Golden Crows that once fell on the Xuanwu Continent!"

The lightning humanoid expressed, with fear in his eyes.

"All martial artists want to claim the Devouring Demon Fetus for themselves, to incorporate it into their body, so they can devour the Ten Great Golden Crows, thus obtaining the formidable power akin to the Twelve Beast Gods!"

The lightning humanoid continued, "Actually, the reason that stupid Purple Lightning Bull came to the Bull God Labyrinth was because the Bull God suppressed a terrifying Golden Crow here, named the ’Netherworld Yellow Springs Golden Crow’!

Legend has it that in the ancient past of the Xuanwu Continent, there were eleven Jin Yangs in the sky.

Those were eleven different Golden Crows.

The eleven Jin Yangs emitted different rays, tormenting this ancient land.

Later, twelve Beast Gods joined forces and struck down ten of the Golden Crows to the ground.

Because of this, the Twelve Beast Gods eventually had to choose to slumber, their power greatly weakened compared to their pinnacle.

Over the years, many top experts have perished while searching for the Ten Great Golden Crows on the Xuanwu Continent."

"From what you’re saying, it seems the Devouring Demon Fetus can devour Golden Crows?"

Ling Xiao asked.

"You’re quite perceptive, what you said is absolutely correct. The suppressed Devouring Demon Fetus is an extremely fearsome entity, originating from beyond this world; nobody knows where it came from.

Some say it’s from the Demon Realm, while others suggest elsewhere.

In short, this creature is genuinely terrifying, capable of devouring just about anything.

After devouring, it can continually enhance its own strength.

Fortunately, it is only a demon fetus; otherwise, if it grew into a true demon being, the entire Xuanwu Continent might be devoured by it."

The lightning humanoid explained.

"In terms of devouring capability, is it even stronger than the Gluttonous Beast?"

Ling Xiao smiled.

"I cannot judge, because I’ve never seen a Gluttonous Beast. There is another saying though.

This Devouring Demon Fetus is a progeny of a Gluttonous Beast and the Demon Clan, so it not only possesses the devouring ability of a Gluttonous Beast but also the terrifying magic power of the Demon Clan!

Once this demon being matures, the whole Xuanwu Continent will suffer, and might even affect the entire Mysterious World.

Therefore, I hope you can eliminate that demon fetus!"

The lightning humanoid advised, "That thing not only can cause worldly disputes but also trigger a true doomsday disaster. Trust me, you won’t regret it."

"Indeed, it sounds very terrifying, but what if I could turn that Devouring Demon Fetus into something of my own?"

Since arriving on the Xuanwu Continent, Ling Xiao had entertained a thought.

He always needed to roam the Mysterious World, meaning he wouldn’t be able to return to the Heavenly Dynasty Empire for a long time, which inevitably could foster some rebellion amongst certain people.

So why not create a powerful avatar?

Yes, an avatar, not merely a duplicate.

He had seen methods for creating avatars in the Soul Fragment Scroll.

All it requires is a soul and a body.

He can already achieve soul core emergence and even split a part of his soul core, allowing it to grow continually while remaining closely connected with his own soul.

If coupled with this Devouring Demon Fetus, wouldn’t it forge an amazing avatar?

An avatar is different from a duplicate; this thing is basically another self on regular days.

Thinking this, he already had a plan.

"No! Remember, many have tried to touch that Devouring Demon Fetus, including people from our family, yet all failed.

Your cultivation level differs greatly from ours; there’s no way you could succeed!"

The lightning humanoid shook his head, "Don’t attempt something doomed to fail, you will certainly fail, certainly!

Ultimately, you will be regretting tremendously!"

He really seemed concerned about Ling Xiao.

However, Ling Xiao wasn’t fully trusted.

"I certainly won’t regret it."

Ling Xiao smiled; although unsure about success, once he decided to do something, he never looked back; that’s his nature.

The lightning humanoid had told him the location of the Devouring Demon Fetus.

It didn’t take him long to find it.

The Devouring Demon Fetus was sealed within eighty-one layers of constraints.

It seemed that to prevent this entity from maturing, the lightning humanoid’s family truly invested a lot of time.

"No——!"

The lightning humanoid uttered a loud squeal of horror.

But he was powerless to stop what Ling Xiao was doing.

To put it simply, it was nothing more than a humanoid formed of energy and soul.

Ling Xiao was initially worried about success, yet upon approaching the Devouring Demon Fetus, he sensed its fear.

Within the Tyrant Universe, the Gluttonous Beast merely opened an eye, but it made the Devouring Demon Fetus completely lose its ability to resist.

As for those seals, they were no challenge for Ling Xiao.

It took him only a few minutes to undo them all.

"It’s time to begin!"

Ling Xiao inhaled deeply; because it was his first time creating an avatar, he exercised extra caution.

Nearly half of his soul power was released from his Spirit Sea, then surged into the demon fetus.

The demon fetus attempted to resist, but was utterly subdued by a roar from the Gluttonous Beast.

Thus, Ling Xiao could basically determine, this Devouring Demon Fetus had connections with the Gluttonous Beast, but was certainly not on the same tier as the Gluttonous Beast.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so terrified facing the Gluttonous Beast.

However, one thing was certain: once this Devouring Demon Fetus matures, it could indeed be invincible within the Mysterious World."
