Volume 6 Chapter 160: Zhang Xusheng (Part 1)

How big was the "Spirit Eater" at that moment? Just look at the power it showed when it appeared.

Beneath the feet of the masters, the ground within a radius of more than twenty miles suddenly trembled violently, as soil and rocks rolled like waves, and moments later, the rolling earth split sharply down the middle, revealing a giant black mountain before everyone.

The true face of the "Spirit Eater" finally appeared before everyone.

If the initial "Spirit Eater" seemed as small as an ant to humans, then now, the human cultivators looked at the "Spirit Eater" and realized they were even smaller than ants before it.

At that moment, the "Spirit Eater" was as large as a mountain, and all the countless black tentacles that had been killed by the human masters had completely regrown. Its oval body had no eyes or ears, or perhaps those black tentacles were its eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. At this moment, the "Spirit Eater" waved its numerous tentacles, threatening the countless human cultivators around it and in the sky.

Without a mouth, it could not make a sound, yet a roar that seemed to come from ancient times echoed deep in the hearts of the cultivators, filled with endless cruelty, arrogance, and an ancient presence.

A monster as large as a mountain suddenly rose into the air, carrying a powerful, ancient, and fierce aura that appeared before everyone. It was easy to imagine how shocking this sight was, and the silent yet grand threat made everyone feel even more oppressed.

Immortal Zizhen felt no fear at all; he could not afford to fail in this war. He must eradicate the Shura Clan, even if it meant releasing another more threatening monster to force them out.

Therefore, for any reason, whether for the safety of humanity or his own reputation, the "Spirit Eater" had to be destroyed at this moment.

Immortal Zizhen let out a cold snort and commanded, "Attack!"

As his words fell, Immortal Zizhen took the lead in attacking the "Spirit Eater." Countless purple energies gathered in front of him, transforming into dozens of enormous purple dragons, fierce in appearance, roaring as they charged toward the "Spirit Eater."

Compared to the tremendous body of the "Spirit Eater," these purple dragons, although massive, seemed no bigger than tiny eels. Yet, despite their smaller size, their power was incredibly strong, shattering the black tentacles that tried to stop them without hesitation.

After breaking through the defense of the black tentacles, these purple dragons showed no hesitation at all and, with overwhelming force, dove into the body of the "Spirit Eater," only to emerge from another location moments later.

In addition, Mr. Liu, Zhang Xusheng, Scholar Buxing, and other masters, along with the "All Immortals Formation" and the "Disaster Cloud" in the sky, also used their great abilities to rain countless attacks down upon the "Spirit Eater."

The "Spirit Eater," having just been born for more than ten days, was too weak to fight against so many skilled humans. Its cries of pain and anger echoed in the hearts of the human cultivators, non-stop, and within moments, the "Spirit Eater" was already covered in wounds, with many of its endless tentacles snapping off at the roots.

As the magical techniques were used, endless spiritual light surrounded the "Spirit Eater," with loud booms constantly sounding from different parts of its body. With each blast of magic, thick goo erupted from the "Spirit Eater," but despite being seemingly powerful, it was completely unable to fight back. The only means of retaliation — those black tentacles — were completely destroyed during the first wave of attacks from the human cultivators.

It seemed that the "Spirit Eater," considered the most powerful being among the countless creatures of the Shenzhou Continent, was about to be defeated by the combined efforts of human cultivators.

However, a terrifying existence that could once suppress the five great Mythical Beasts and the Shura Clan would not be so easy to defeat, even in its juvenile stage.

※※※※

The "Spirit Eater’s" ability to recover was very fast; often, the injuries caused by the first wave of attacks from the human cultivators had healed by more than half before the second wave arrived.

But as the attacks continued, almost every human cultivator believed that the "Spirit Eater" would ultimately meet its doom.

The first to notice something wrong was Mr. Liu.

Unlike others who attacked with magical techniques, Mr. Liu focused all his powers on his numerous magical treasures.

At the beginning of the attack on the "Spirit Eater," Mr. Liu shot the "Suiling Needle" into the "Spirit Eater" and controlled a golden flying sword, attacking the "Spirit Eater" like the purple dragon controlled by Immortal Zizhen, constantly piercing inside the "Spirit Eater."

But soon, Mr. Liu, who acted carefully and thoughtfully, discovered something unusual.

Through the "Suiling Needle," he indeed sensed that there was a vast amount of Spirit Qi inside the "Spirit Eater," and over time, it became even more abundant. However, the powerful "Suiling Needle," which could absorb Spirit Qi, could not absorb even a little. Not only could it not absorb the Spirit Qi inside the "Spirit Eater," but the Spirit Qi within the "Suiling Needle" also began to dissipate gradually.

Furthermore, the golden flying sword that was piercing through the "Spirit Eater" seemed to have entered some chaotic space, making movement very difficult, and the Spirit Qi stored within was slowly decreasing at an almost imperceptible rate.

Seeing that the "Spirit Eater" appeared to be injured but the Spirit Qi inside it was becoming more abundant, and noticing that the purple dragon controlled by Immortal Zizhen seemed to shrink a bit, Mr. Liu was shocked and flashed through an unbelievable thought.

"Everyone, stop! Do not attack anymore! This ‘Spirit Eater’ is absorbing the Spirit Qi from our attacks!"

With Mr. Liu’s shout, everyone stopped and looked at him in disbelief. The Spirit Qi gathered from their attacks was not only incredibly refined but also controlled by the cultivators’ minds. In such a situation, could the "Spirit Eater" really absorb it?

Just then, Zhang Xusheng suddenly moved.
