Chapter 330: 331: They Are All Precious Nutrients

“I am a disciple of the Array Formation Sect from Central Province, could you spare me in light of my sect’s name?”

“I belong to the Xingtian Sect; if you let me live, the Space Ring in my possession will be yours!”

“Please, let me live, I am…”

The cultivators at the scene were all pleading for mercy, revealing their affiliations in hopes of establishing a connection with Li Xiaobai.

Hearing these familiar sect names, Li Xiaobai actually laughed. He hadn’t expected to encounter disciples of notable families from Central Province here, and since they were all from Central Province, he most definitely couldn’t let them go.

“Hehe, burn them, they must be burnt to ashes!”

“All of you are such valuable nourishment.”

Li Xiaobai murmured to himself, his eyes twinkling with excitement. With a gentle wave of his hand, a torrent of flames rushed down the mountain, swiftly enveloping the camp.

There were no screams of agony, no shrill cries; whether the camps, the cultivators, or the elixirs and treasures – all were extinguished in an instant, turning into nourishment for the Hellfire.

[Current range covered: Sixteen meters.]

[Current range covered: Seventeen meters.]

[…]

[Current range covered: Twenty meters.]

Several Nascent Soul Stage cultivators were indeed able to provide more nourishment for the Hellfire. The initial range of the flames reached twenty meters, a quite impressive distance. It seemed that if he could engulf all the nearby battlegrounds, he might have a chance to break through a hundred meters.

However, he didn’t notice that Yang Huan and others had subtly distanced themselves from him.

At this moment, their minds were overrun with myriad emotions as they discovered that the man before them was not just any formidable character, but a Demon Path overlord!

Considering cultivators as nourishment, is such speech even human?

One might doubt that even Demon Path cultivators would dare to play such games.

Yang Huan felt a bit nervous inside; she had only met this powerful figure by chance, following him on a whim. She heard that such figures could be unpredictable in temper, and she feared he might decide on a whim to toss them into the flames as nourishment as well.

“Hmm? Why are you standing so far away from me?”

“Quickly lead the way, we mustn’t delay, let us immediately proceed to the next battlefield!”

Having tasted the sweetness of power, Li Xiaobai didn’t want to dawdle and headed straight for the next battlefield.

Although he hadn’t reached the core areas guarded by the cultivators, the commotion on the outskirts was too great, and there was a risk that it would alert the cultivators within.

He needed to maximize the benefits of the Hellfire before it was discovered.

In the subsequent camps, all the cultivators were brought back by Yang Huan’s people; these were friendly forces, and Yang Huan didn’t want them to suffer from an uninvited disaster.

Li Xiaobai had a somewhat wistful look in his eyes; those cultivators were potential nourishment for the Hellfire, and having them right in front of him was a tantalizing temptation. Seeing but not being able to consume made him itch with desire.

The cultivators behind them were trembling with fear, realizing that Li Xiaobai’s gaze often swept over them unintentionally. freёweɓnovel.com

His intensely fervent look was almost like that of someone viewing food.

This overlord, he wouldn’t be considering eating them, would he?

As they passed from one camp to the next, more and more cultivators gathered around Li Xiaobai, and the range covered by the Hellfire continued to grow.

The Flesh Mountains at the nine battlefields didn’t last a second before the Hellfire; almost as soon as they were touched by a hint of the flames, they would instantly turn to ash.

This scene further terrified the cultivators.

Beforehand, they had already heard about the Big Boss’s matter from Yang Huan and others, but seeing it with their own eyes was a different experience altogether—the Big Boss was outrageously strong, and with just a wave of his hand, he set the entire wilderness ablaze.

Moreover, seeing how ravenous the other side looked, it was clear he intended to throw them into the flames as nourishment as well.

All along the way, they were on tenterhooks, fearing that displeasing the Big Boss would lead to their deaths for his amusement.

Li Xiaobai was quite speechless about this; he hadn’t gone mad to that extent, and besides, these cultivators had low cultivation levels and wouldn’t provide much nourishment if thrown into the flames.

However, after passing nine battlefields, the Hellfire had completely spread its coverage, and the whole wilderness was burning fiercely.

Li Xiaobai felt it was time for an idle operation; flames of this magnitude weren’t something that could be easily extinguished.

Severing the connection, he let the Hellfire consume freely within the borderlands. The dark flames around his body receded, and Li Xiaobai once again took on the appearance of an ordinary person.

“Let’s go, we’ll head to the human race’s gathering place in the inner region. Lead the way,” he said.

“Yes!”

Yang Huan was very helpless. In her heart, she somewhat regretted bringing this Big Boss into the city. Whether it would be a blessing or a curse was really hard to say.

The other cultivators also looked bitter; they were afraid that the Big Boss would suddenly unleash the Hellfire within the city and use the entire city as nourishment. Based on what they had witnessed along the way, this was something the Big Boss was capable of doing.

What these cultivators thought didn’t concern Li Xiaobai.

At the moment, Li Xiaobai was pondering the matter of the Evil Cultivators.

According to what Jing Kun had said, Cangying was an expert from the first battlefield, likely at the Mahayana Realm. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had the capability to make Jing Kun harm his own kind.

As for what Cangying wanted to deliver, it went without saying that it must be that so-called fragment.

Li Xiaobai had not yet figured out the use of this fragment, and this time was a good opportunity to find someone who knew and ask.

There were a total of four large Flesh Mountains, all under the command of the human race City Lords.

Being from the first battlefield, Cangying would likely also appear in the city, so there would be plenty of chances to meet in the future.

“Lord, we have arrived at the Holy City. There will be a strict search at the city gate; please be patient while waiting,” Yang Huan’s voice reached him amid his thoughts.

Li Xiaobai came back to his senses to see a quaint and imposing city. At the city gate, a one-armed swordsman was seated, and the cultivators passing by conscientiously approached to undergo the search.

“Who is that person?” Li Xiaobai asked, finding it very interesting as it was usually the guards who actively questioned the passersby, but here the cultivators were proactively reporting their particulars to the guards.

Their demeanor was very much like apprentices reporting to their teachers in school.

“This person is named Song Que, also called Sky Blade. He is a main force in the first battlefield, but he lost his left hand in a battle and retreated to the backline, volunteering to guard the city gate,” Yang Huan said with respect as she looked at the one-armed cultivator ahead.

“Sky Blade Song Que was a legendary figure in the first battlefield; as long as he participated, the battle was always victorious. He once single-handedly traveled back and forth across the entire borderland,” she recounted.

“It’s just a shame that he lost an arm in the end, which greatly reduced his strength. Otherwise, he would surely have continued to create legends!”

The cultivators nearby all showed admiration. To them, Sky Blade Song Que was the only Great Crossing Realm Expert they could come into close contact with.

Despite his legendary status, he didn’t put on airs and stayed approachable.

“Yeah, it was thanks to Sky Blade’s advice that I successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage. He’s my great benefactor!” one of them exclaimed.
