Master of Strange Dao

Yu Ziqing's face was serious, and after a low shout, he quietly waited.

What the big zombie said, he could believe everything except the part where the other party claimed his body was frozen outside.

He, like all the other big zombies here, had a body outside without consciousness, and all consciousness was here.

Yu Ziqing couldn't verify the truth of other things, but this point was pure nonsense.

Whether his physical body was present or not, whether he only had consciousness here, he was most clear about it himself.

Because he practiced both the Hungry Ghost Dao and Body Refinement, and there was a direct connection between Refining God and Body Refinement. It wasn't completely separated or even conflicting like it was for ordinary people.

He was very certain, he entered here with his entire body, completely intact.

At this moment, Yu Ziqing understood that these big zombies were trying to deceive him.

Perhaps every word they said before was true, and their intent to kill him to silence him was also true, but the method to leave this place was false.

The other party seemed very nervous about him approaching the big fireball in the sky, yet said he must be frozen to leave.

Yu Ziqing didn't hesitate at all and directly rushed in.

Sure enough, the big zombie in his hand instantly vanished, but he did not.

Here, he only felt the Yang Qi within his body, all the fiery energy, was dissipating, as if frozen in Profound Ice, with the heat rapidly being consumed.

Yu Ziqing shouted once, seeing nothing but flames, yet there was no other reaction.

A hint of aggressiveness appeared between Yu Ziqing's brows.

"If you don't come out now, don't blame me for not showing mercy. I swallowed him, and I can swallow you too."

As the words fell, Yu Ziqing immediately moved deeper into the big fireball.

The next moment, the surrounding burning flames receded on their own.

Within the flames, an eye slowly formed and gradually opened.

The eye had only a slender pupil, with rolling flames on either side, which emitted a sound.

"Is the Earth Devil Venerate dead?"

"Strictly speaking, he's not dead, he's undying and immortal."

In reality, if Yu Ziqing wished, the Earth Devil Venerate had indeed been completely digested.

"What a pity..." The eye seemed somewhat regretful.

As the words fell, the surrounding flames began to churn violently, lacking the force of heat but rapidly increasing the force that devoured Yu Ziqing's Yang Qi.

Yu Ziqing remained calm, ignoring the flames, stepping deeper, speaking as he went.

"From the moment I entered here, everything has been displayed to me by you, hasn't it?

The things I could encounter before were just the limit of the power you could manifest, right?

Otherwise, you wouldn't have gone to such lengths to deceive me by saying that freezing would allow me to leave here.

Are those zombies really here?

Or is it that their consciousness is indeed here, but you made them believe they were correct?"

As Yu Ziqing spoke, the surrounding flames churned more fiercely, and the power of absorption grew stronger and stronger.

Yu Ziqing kept going forward, undaunted by the flames licking his body.

He felt his Qi-Blood continuously weakening, his Yang Qi dissipating, his entire being growing increasingly weak and cold.

Frost began to form on his hair and eyebrows, and when he breathed, wisps of cold air with ice chips appeared, cutting into his lungs and air passages.

He seemed to grow weaker, his advance slowing down as if he couldn't reach the core of the fireball no matter how hard he tried.

Suddenly, his face took on the hungry ghost form, and he sharply turned aside, biting a mass of flame.

The formless flame, once bitten, accompanied by the sound of tough hide being forcibly torn, was swallowed into his mouth.

His Yang God looked ferocious, gripping a mass of flame, tearing and devouring it.

Instantly, a piercing wail erupted in Yu Ziqing's mind.

The abdomen of his Yang God, which had sunken, slowly rose, appearing slightly chubby, with a small belly.

This being's strength was indeed far greater than the Earth Devil Venerate who was once barely clinging to life.

Just one bite gave him a feeling of fullness.

The experiment he'd wanted to conduct for so long was finally done.

To taste a deity, to see if there was a difference in taste between a deity and a devil.

There wasn't much difference, one had a heavier flavor, like too many spices, a savory pork shank.

Another was clean and straightforward, like blanched seafood, tasting of its original flavor.

This one now felt like fresh seafood, frozen, swallowed before it fully thawed, cold with a fishy taste.

His Yang God seemed to be burning, but at least now, he could confirm one thing.

When he devoured the locust god sealed within the Dadui Seal back then, it wasn't by accident.

Instead, it proved that gods and devils aren't fully convertible; they are truly two sides of the same thing. If he can devour demons, he can naturally slay gods as well.

Yu Ziqing stopped, appearing as though he had fallen seriously ill, his figure thinner, his eye sockets sunken, his complexion pale, having lost more Yang Qi than ever rewarded.

He grinned slightly.

"You're anxious.

From the moment I saw the eye you conjured, I knew there wasn't really any essence of you in this fireball.

No matter how deep I go, I couldn't find your essence.

If you absorbed it slowly, other than leaving this massive fireball, I really might not have had any special method.

When you heard that the Earth Devil Venerate wasn't dead, being undying and immortal, you were reassured.
