Chapter 522: Chapter 522 Devouring

"Ah—"

Only one or two people screamed, the rest were instantly burnt to ashes.

In an instant, seven people were wiped out, turned into flying ashes.

On the other side, Qian Jianxiong’s face was full of shock. He couldn’t believe that in just an instant, seven of his companions were already dead.

The weakest Dharma appearance in history?

Pah!

Have you ever seen a Dharma appearance this powerful, incinerating seven Self-Observations in an instant?

It can be said that, even if nine aspects were to strike against one, that one at least would struggle a bit, and not end up this miserably.

Even though he was kicked and sent flying a distance away, the stabbing pain in his eyes and the burning sensation on his body were somewhat unbearable.

Hiss, it’s lucky he was kicked away, otherwise, he would certainly have met the same fatal fate.

At that moment, Shi Hao’s gaze also turned towards him, extremely chilling.

Without a second word, Qian Jianxiong took out a talismanic soldier, slapped it onto himself, and then started running at full speed.

Whoosh, he instantly burst out at a terrifying speed, like lightning.

Shi Hao was startled, not expecting Qian Jianxiong to be so decisive and reluctant to even engage in a fight, directly using an acceleration type of talismanic weapon.

This is a Wind Riding Talisman, right?

Shi Hao was still marveling in his mind, then immediately gave chase.

However, after using the acceleration talismanic weapon, Qian Jianxiong’s speed was not at all slower than Shi Hao’s. Shi Hao couldn’t catch up with him, and with all the crystal pillars around facilitating his escape, soon, Shi Hao lost him.

Fine, there will be another time to kill him, it’s not too late.

Shi Hao didn’t take it to heart; such an opponent was hardly worth mentioning. What difference did it make to kill him sooner or later?

He collected some spoils of war and then moved forward.

It wasn’t long before he discovered a village.

A gathering place of stone figures, they had their own houses, directly dug into crystal pillars, allowing them to hide inside - extremely simple.

They don’t need food or air, all their energy comes from the elemental cores inside their bodies.

A completely different form of life.

Shi Hao observed for a moment, there were thirty-four Self-Observation stone figures here, the rest were from Other Shore and Nurturing Soul Levels, not worth a blow.

He revealed himself and walked towards the village of stone figures.

Immediately, the stone figures were alerted and rushed towards him, some even emerged from within the crystal pillars, surrounding Shi Hao completely.

They were humanoid, but devoid of facial features.

Shi Hao heard no sound, yet he could feel the stone figures communicating, because they clearly adjusted their formation, with the Self-Observations at the front and the other stone figures retreating to the back.

"Come on!" Shi Hao beckoned with his fingers, "Don’t waste everyone’s time."

The stone figures might not have understood, but in the next instant, the Self-Observation level stone figures all charged at him, throwing punches.

Boom, boom, boom, waves of force surged turbulently, terrifyingly powerful.

The stone figures were strong and heavily defended, following a brute force approach, somewhat akin to Body Cultivation.

Shi Hao gave a faint smile; a rabbit Dharma appearance appeared, hopping around on the ground, then peeking around as if observing the situation.

God damn it, completely disobedient!

Shi Hao was frustrated; this Dharma aspect was actually generated unconsciously by him, so it was extremely bizarre.

The stone figures had already charged over, the rabbit Dharma aspect—no, let’s just call it the Black Hole Physiognomy; calling it the rabbit aspect really undermines its dignity. It immediately rushed forward, opened its huge mouth, and bit towards a stone figure.

Then, the stone figures disappeared.

It seemed as though the rabbit’s appetite had greatly increased, hopping around and voraciously devouring the stone figures.

It was truly like a black hole, leaving nothing in its wake, swallowing one stone figure after another at a visibly rapid rate, without any need for Shi Hao to lift a finger.

Among the three Dharma appearances, the Sun Dharma Aspect and the Stone Sphere Dharma Appearance both required Shi Hao to actively operate, but the Black Hole Physiognomy was special; once released, it would attack autonomously and Shi Hao couldn’t command it even if he wanted to.

—The only thing he could do was either release or withdraw the Black Hole Physiognomy.

Huh?

Shi Hao immediately discovered a mysterious energy being generated inside his body, bubbling vigorously and tumultuously.

How did it come about?

Could it be—

He looked at the rabbit, which had swallowed the stone figures, including their Elemental Cores, the source of life for Elemental Creatures. Now that these were devoured, it seemed the energy within was also being extracted and fed back to Shi Hao.

No, a portion was also absorbed by the Black Hole Physiognomy.

Shi Hao saw clearly that the black rabbit’s body was growing larger, but once it reached a certain size, it shuddered and returned to its original size; however, Shi Hao could feel that it seemed a few degrees more solidified.

Black Hole Physiognomy... was it really that perfect?

Shi Hao nodded, no wonder he couldn’t enhance the perfection of the Black Hole Physiognomy. It turned out that once it was formed, as long as it was fed energy to devour, it could evolve on its own.

What a treasure!

Shi Hao said in his heart, as the Black Hole Physiognomy devoured energy, he could also be nourished, allowing his cultivation to rapidly increase.

In this way, with the Black Hole Physiognomy for power and the Great Void Realm for soul cultivation, how terrifyingly fast could his cultivation increase?

Unfortunately, if devoured by the Black Hole Physiognomy, the Elemental Cores would probably be unrecoverable.

You can’t get everything perfect.

"Leave a few pieces for me!" Shi Hao also made his move, joining in the scramble for the Elemental Cores, wanting to enter the Great Void Realm for cultivation, he naturally needed to prepare a large number of Elemental Cores to exchange for Contribution Value.

Under their sweeping assault, the Self-Observation-level stone figures were quickly annihilated.

Seeing this, the remaining stone figures collectively retreated, but to Shi Hao’s surprise, they only retreated and did not run away.

Huh, they’re that bold?

But next, he saw groups of stone figures standing together, and a strange scene occurred; their bodies disintegrated, revealing the Elemental Cores, which then fused with each other, turning into a more potent Elemental Core.

Then, the scattered stones on the ground reassembled, enveloping the new Elemental Core, forming another stone figure.

Huh, can it really be like this?

Humans become strong through cultivation, while Elemental Creatures do so by fusing with their companions?

Calculating the loss, Shi Hao couldn’t help but clutch his chest in frustration. What a loss! Earlier, at least twenty Other Shore Realm stone figures had merged to form one Self-Observation, and from the point of Contribution Value, this was like exchanging a hundred points for twenty, an incredibly wasteful swap!

If only he had known and not been curious, it would have been better to act immediately.

Now, he had lost at least eighty Contribution Values.

Alas!

Shi Hao sighed and charged forward.

At this time, more stone figures completed the fusion, and several Self-Observation stone figures surrounded them.

Shi Hao and the Black Hole Physiognomy struck together, leaving no opponents in their wake.

Quickly, the entire village was leveled by Shi Hao, but due to the fusion of the stone figures and the predation of the Black Hole Physiognomy, Shi Hao only harvested fourteen Self-Observation Elemental Cores, totaling two hundred eighty Contribution Values.
