An emperor in his later years is summoned by his sister to save the nation's fate.

"roar--!"

The starving ghost let out a roar that was a mixture of pain and rage.

Its body began to undergo violent distortion under the wash of silver light!

First, there's its size. Its already bloated body swelled up like a balloon, growing to nearly five meters tall, resembling a mountain of flesh exuding a bluish-black, corpse-like aura.

Secondly, there is its core ability, the Mysterious Domain. With a muffled roar, a layer of tangible bluish-gray mist spread out from its body.

The original rudimentary ghost domain, which was only a hundred meters in radius, now directly covered several miles in all directions, and its suppressive power increased exponentially!

Finally, and most importantly, its digestive ability was revealed. Its enormous maw, which was on its abdomen, now had three layers of fine, sharp teeth, like those of a meat grinder. Deep within its unfathomable throat, a terrifying suction force capable of dissolving all rules was faintly emanating.

As the silver light faded, a genuine A-grade starving monster stood proudly inside the lord's mansion!

The ferocious flames it emitted even made the A-level Ghost Bride, who was inside the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, feel a primal tremor.

"Alright! Starving ghost, dinner's ready!"

"Eat! Eat them all!"

Lu Xueyao's eyes were cold as she directly waved the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Apart from the A-grade Ghost Bride, which was specially preserved, all the low-level ghosts that had been contained in the Black Pine Forest and those captured during tonight's ghost tide were dumped in the center of the hall.

Among them are the Mourning Ghost, the Water Ghost, the Knocking Ghost, and the Headless Ghost...

Faced with this buffet spread across the ground, the Starving Ghost, now upgraded to Rank A, opened its exaggeratedly large, abyssal maw.

"Snap! Snap!"

The chilling sound of chewing echoed throughout the lord's manor.

The evolved version of the Starving Monster possesses an absolutely terrifying digestive ability.

Those dozen or so strange creatures were swallowed whole and chewed up by it in just a few minutes.

As this vast supernatural rule was devoured and digested by it.

"boom!"

The bluish-black corpse energy emanating from the starving ghost surged into the sky like a volcanic eruption.

Its already powerful aura surged even higher!

Even within the A-level bizarre category, having devoured dozens of rules, it is absolutely still firmly ranked in the top tier!

What's even more terrifying is its power!

As it finished swallowing, two crimson hallucinogenic beams suddenly shot out from its eyes, clearly inheriting the rules of the B-grade Ghost Eye!

Around its enormous body, countless jet-black, eerie hairs danced wildly, and even its breathing sounds turned into deadly syllables that could kill!

It forcibly stitches together multiple deadly killing patterns, combining them into one.

At this moment, the Starving Ghost is practically a walking embodiment of calamity!

The viewers in the Dragon Kingdom's live broadcast room who witnessed this scene were so shocked that they were somewhat numb.

"This...this is practically raising a venomous insect!"

"A scroll that instantly upgrades you to A-level, plus dozens of weirdos as experience packs."

Lu Xueyao has practically raised a monster among monsters!

"A monstrous, stitched-together monster! If this were released, it could devour not only low-level monsters, but an entire city in no time!"

Meanwhile, viewers from South Korea and Japan were both afraid and resentful, and they frantically stirred up trouble in the comments section.

"A madwoman! This woman from the Dragon Kingdom is absolutely insane!"

"She has no control over this A-level monster that combines multiple rules! Just wait and see, once this starving monster finishes digesting its food, the first thing it will eat is itself! Sooner or later, she will suffer the backlash from this monster!"

However, Lu Xueyao didn't care about what others thought at all.

With the suppression of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and its brother, this starving ghost couldn't cause any trouble.

After putting the well-fed, starving ghost back into the Myriad Souls Banner, she took out the remaining two ranking rewards.

The first one is the special building, the Return-to-City Formation.

She stepped out of the lord's mansion and activated the decorations in a corner of the courtyard.

This is a miniature stone array inscribed with spatial runes.

Its function is simple and straightforward. When the chosen ones are exploring in the wild, they can instantly cross space and teleport back to the return array in this territory with just a thought.

Next, she took out the second reward: a farm for production and construction!

Lu Xueyao arrived at an open space behind the lord's mansion and clicked to place the item.

"Buzz!"

A flash of green light appeared, and the desolate wasteland that had been drenched by black rain underwent a dramatic transformation in an instant.

The soil churned, and a fertile black soil patch, about 100 square meters in size, neatly divided into 36 squares, appeared out of thin air.

Around the farmland, a wooden fence that emitted a faint glow automatically appeared.

A piece of attribute information appeared in her field of vision.

Special Building: Farmland

[Effect: This soil, which has been modified by high-dimensional psionic energy, can grow any kind of seed (including ordinary crops, extraordinary herbs, and even some special spiritual products).]

In this farmland, the natural growth cycle of any crop will be significantly shortened!

Upon reading this description, a hint of emotion flashed in Lu Xueyao's eyes.

Within her sea of ​​consciousness, a rare ripple stirred in Lu Li's usually calm eyes.

"The methods of this national destiny system can actually reach the level of the rules of time?"

Lu Li was secretly alarmed. He knew that even in the Xuan Tian Realm of the Great Thousand World, there were limited methods to defy the laws of heaven and earth and forcibly shorten the growth cycle of spiritual herbs.

It's nothing more than setting up an expensive spirit-gathering array, or using some rare wood-type treasures to accelerate growth.

"I wonder, what exactly is the limit to this so-called significant reduction in time? And what kind of miraculous ripening effect does it have on certain peerless treasures in the cultivation world that require hundreds or even thousands of years to grow?"

Lu Li had a bold idea in his mind: if he could get some spiritual herbs from the cultivation world and plant them here in the future, Xue Yao's cultivation resources would no longer be limited by the years!

After doing all this, Lu Xueyao finally felt exhausted.

She closed the stone door, returned to the stone bed in the lord's mansion, and began to meditate and rest.

at the same time.

In the Xuan Tian Realm, in the Eastern Wilderness, in the Primordial Holy Land, inside the dungeon.

At noon, when the yang energy is at its peak, the howling winds of the Netherworld, which can scrape bones and erode souls all day long, finally experience a brief period of weakness.

On the rock wall at the bottom of the dungeon, Xiao Fan was covered in blood and his bones were shattered, but under the forceful envelopment of Yao Lao's soul power, he finally passed through the wind belt and arrived at the deepest part of the dungeon.

Before your eyes is a dark spring, no bigger than a tabletop.

The spring water was a deep black, devoid of any heat, yet exuding a chilling cold capable of freezing the soul.

This is precisely the Nine Netherworld Water that the old doctor mentioned could cleanse his marrow and help him break free from his shackles!
