Dao Cheng Gui Xian

Chapter 376 Hungry Ghost? I'm hungry too!
The bloated, hungry ghost gasped.

Dozens of arms held food high in the air, but were so startled by the bizarre scene before them that they forgot to put it in their mouths.

Too fast! It only took a breath for him to emerge from the back of the opponent who had broken through Hui Xuan.

Only then did he realize with shock that the other party was actually a Nascent Soul cultivator!
Its immense power suppressed even Hui Xuan without any resistance, and it was even slowly and thoroughly devouring Hui Xuan alive.
What the hell is this?

How come it's even stranger than me?

Seeing the two large, fleshy eyes in the skull staring at him, the chubby, hungry ghost, who had been playing around with the idea, became serious.

I and Hui Xuan were tricked by Qinglian Shi!
The other party was not an ordinary sea patrol envoy at all; they should be a top-ranking Nascent Soul sea patrol envoy or a garrison envoy.

Damn it!
Cursing under his breath, the hungry ghost stuffed all the food in his hand into his mouth. He had no time to complain; he would settle accounts with the Azure Lotus Envoy when he got back.

He originally planned to rescue Hui Xuan first, and then the two of them would be more likely to defeat the opponent together.

But as his bloodshot eyes fixed on the half-gold, half-red skeleton that was closing in on him, the hungry ghost swallowed his saliva frantically.

So delicious!
Whether it was flesh and blood, internal organs, or even this skeleton, everything about it gave him an overwhelming sense of self-control.

Aside from the head monk at Blood Buddha Temple, this was the first time he had ever encountered something so sweet.

His desire grew stronger, and in the next instant, he made the first move!
Dozens of arms slowly stretched out, some plunging into the ground, others into the void, while a rumbling sound, typical of extreme hunger, emanated from the mountain-like belly.

Then the coarse black hair on his arm slowly thickened and lengthened until it was as thick as a melon vine. At the end of the black hair, like a melon, bluish fleshy growths appeared.

Violent swallowing sounds emanated from the tumors, and the rumbling of the massive bellies grew even louder. These tumors, hanging from the black hair, greedily sucked in nutrients, growing rapidly in the wind until they were the size of lanterns.

As the fruit ripened and fell from the vine, hundreds of small, green-skinned, large-bellied, black-haired monsters, roughly the same size as Li Wushou, emerged from the tumor.

"Hungry!"

"I'm so hungry!"

Countless cries of hunger rose from all directions around Li Wushou, like the chanting of Buddhist temples, or the prayers and murmurs of believers, which made Li Wushou inexplicably irritable.

Just as he was about to unleash his fury, he heard a series of "crack" sounds again.

Suddenly, a horizontal slit appeared in the center of the mountain-sized belly of the hungry ghost standing in front of him.

Then, with a loud "boom," the two halves of the large belly rolled off the other's body. As they rolled, Li Wushou could clearly see countless hungry ghosts with blue faces and fangs howling on the horizontal crack.

I'm so hungry!

As it rolled over Li Wushou's head, the large belly, now split in two, suddenly came to a stop.

Immediately afterwards, the hungry ghosts above screamed in unison, their two large bellies stacked one on top of the other, like a millstone.

On the other side, due to the detachment of its large belly, the hungry ghost's body was reduced to only a dozen or so arms and a long spine. From a distance, it looked like a stalk carrying a head, with a large spider crawling on its back.

Compared to Li Wushou's current appearance, the two are about the same, and neither can say anything about the other.

The difference is that hungry ghosts have more arms, a long and thin torso, and no internal organs.

His torso was still covered with a layer of blue skin, and numerous blue veins extended from his spine, connecting to the large millstone-shaped belly on Li Wushou's head.

Looking down at Li Wushou, who was surrounded by hungry ghosts, the thousands of hungry ghosts on the giant millstone shouted in unison:

"Those who enter my realm of hungry ghosts will be eaten by hungry ghosts!"

The instant he finished shouting, two of the arms that stretched across the sky snapped off with a crack and stuck into the massive millstone. A smaller, green-skinned, black-haired monster with a large belly, which was surrounding Li Wushou, grabbed the black hair hanging down from the arm and pulled hard. Electricity crackled in the void, and with a crisp "crack," the hungry ghost in the millstone let out a sharp shriek.

Li Wushou's mind went blank for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he found himself in an unfamiliar world.

Beneath your feet, the sky is composed of countless greedy faces with open mouths and bared fangs.

The world spun around him, and Li Wushou felt an immense pressure coming from him, so much so that his bones seemed to be cracking as if they couldn't bear it.

As the sky and earth drew closer, Li Wushou's mind stirred and his body rose from the ground, transforming into a giant that could support the sky and stomp the earth!

But this cannot stop the constant attraction between heaven and earth!

It was as if heaven and earth were locked in a struggle, with two opposing forces twisting Li Wushou's body from both directions simultaneously.

At the same time, countless hungry ghosts emerged from the earth and sky, gathering on Li Wushou's bones.

They drooled and cried out "Hungry," then pounced on Li Wushou's body and began to gnaw at it. Cracks quickly spread across the red, glassy bone as they were bitten.

Upon seeing this, Li Wushou realized that he must have been sucked into the center of the giant millstone.

Is this hungry ghost trying to grind up its own bones and eat itself?
Looking around, Li Wushou remained calm, but he was curious about the state of the hungry ghost.

The opponent's magic was neither immortal nor divine; he had not detected the power of the immortal realm or the aura of incense and divine ways, but the power it unleashed was no weaker than that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Li Wushou was even somewhat confused about how he had been captured and brought into this millstone world.

However, as these hungry ghosts approached and gnawed at his bones, Li Wushou began to suspect that these hungry ghosts were more like pure monsters who had attained enlightenment!

The other party's ability is similar to some kind of talent or rule possessed by the strange creature itself.

This was the first time Li Wushou had ever seen someone this strong.

This intrigued him as well!

As the millstone of heaven and earth turned, more and more hungry ghosts flew out, and the cries of "hunger" in his ears grew louder and louder. Li Wushou's pupils also turned blood red.

It wasn't just the hungry ghosts who were hungry; he was actually very hungry too!
And he's been hungry for a long time!

Seeing his own bones, the blood-red parts of which were riddled with holes from being gnawed, Li Wushou snorted coldly and said lightly:
"Blood and bone regeneration!"

The blood and bones that had been bitten and swallowed by the hungry ghost suddenly transformed into sharp spikes that pierced the ghost's body, and a feeling of hunger and greed that was no less intense than that of the hungry ghost emanated from the bone spikes.

The hungry ghost that had eaten the bones didn't have time to react before being swallowed by the bone spurs.

The hungry ghosts clinging to Li Wushou's enormous skeletal body vanished instantly, and blood-red bone spurs took root in his golden bones, resembling clusters of blood-red thorns.

But in the next instant, his bones were covered by countless hungry ghosts again, and the hungry ghosts in this world seemed endless.

Li Wushou was not alarmed but delighted, and shouted, "Disintegrate!"

The invisible golden elixir collected the internal organs, and then the massive skeletal body automatically disintegrated, turning into fragments the size of broad beans, which piled up like a small mountain.

The thousands of hungry ghosts were stunned for a moment, then went into a frenzy, rushing to squeeze into the Broken Bone Mountain.

In no time at all, Broken Bone Mountain was completely devoured.
