Chapter 655 -525: White Demon’s Special Ability – Same-species Devouring

The orange-yellow sky was adorned with clouds that were red as if they were burning like flames.

The sunset was especially gorgeous, painting the entire Tian Shou Mountain in red hues.

Under the sunset’s radiance, Li Hen controlled his winged Soul Pet as he circled in the sky. As the competition continued, some positions had contestants opening their medicine bottles, planning to exit.

However, Li Hen didn’t pay attention to that. Other competition guards would come to their rescue; he didn’t need to worry about them.

After discovering Xia Guanghan’s plot to harm Chu Mu, Li Hen didn’t leave. Instead, he directly rode on his winged Soul Pet, soaring in the sky above Tian Shou Mountain, watching Chu Mu from a distance.

Li Hen was accompanied by Ting Lan and Shang Heng, both of whom had already opened their medicine bottles, exited the competition.

In this eighth realm, contestants who withdrew could fly high and watch the battles, but only accompanied by designated competition staff to prevent interference in the matches.

As spectators, they had to maintain a 500-meter height above the ground. This was a warning line for the airspace; any withdrawn contestants or spectators who descended below this line would be subject to sanction by any competition guard.

Li Hen wouldn’t be able to stop Xia Guanghan if he didn’t attack him directly. Moreover, that would violate the rules.

To ensure Chu Mu wasn’t persecuted, Li Hen asked Ting Lan and Shang Heng not to leave Tian Shou Mountain immediately; instead, they floated in the sky as observers.

Ting Lan and Shang Heng followed Chu Mu’s progress to watch the competition, albeit from a distance. This provided Chu Mu with a safety net in case of danger, even if they violated the rules and took direct action.

In this way, Li Hen could monitor Chu Mu nearby. If a situation arose, he could intervene immediately without giving Xia Guanghan any chance.

“Since you are watching, follow the rules. I won’t bother with you.” Xia Guanghan left with a cold laugh when he knew Li Hen was protecting Chu Mu intentionally.

Xia Guanghan wouldn’t go too far; he had to let the already-hidden participants in the eighth realm intercept Chu Mu. As long as they captured Chu Mu, he could restrain Li Hen from giving any assistance.

Li Hen looked at Xia Guanghan leaving atop the Sunset Peng with disdain.

Soul Hall’s members always despised Nightmare Demon Palace’s members. Li Hen had also heard of Xia Guanghan, but in recent years, this guy had been keeping a low profile…

“Let’s keep following him from a distance until the end of the eighth realm,” Shang Heng said.

Although Chu Mu had saved their lives, Shang Heng and Ting Lan couldn’t participate in the increasingly detached battles. Still, they could protect Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi from a distance.

Ting Lan nodded. She originally intended to descend to the foot of the mountain and tell the competition organizers about Xia Guanghan’s attempt to harm Chu Mu. She wanted them to revoke his competition guard status.

However, the Nightmare Demon Palace elder might not agree to such a move, as there was no evidence indicating any misconduct from Xia Guanghan.

So, following at a distance like now was the best approach. It ensured Chu Mu could continue advancing through the realms.

“Big Brother Li Hen, who is this Xia Guanghan?” Shang Heng asked with dissatisfaction.

“Years ago, he was one of my rivals. But he disappeared for a long time, and so his fame has faded. I don’t know if he’s been orchestrating something in secret.” Li Hen replied.

“How strong is he?” Ting Lan asked. If he was Li Hen’s rival, Xia Guanghan must have been a formidable figure in the past.

“This… to be honest, I don’t know much about him. I heard he constantly changes his Soul Pets, sometimes being strong and other times weak. The last time I saw him, he had a Funeral Yellow Sand Dragon that hadn’t matured. After so many years, that Sand Dragon should be at Tenth Rank, making it extremely challenging to deal with,” Li Hen said.

“A Funeral Yellow Sand Dragon?!” Both Ting Lan and Shang Heng looked horrified when they heard this!

A Funeral Yellow Sand Dragon is a high-level Monarch Soul Pet. It might not display its Dragon Race advantage until the Eighth Stage, but once it passes that, it becomes incredibly dominant. When it reaches the Tenth Rank, it can be on par with a Peak Monarch, even without a Spiritual Object Strengthening!

Suppose Xia Guanghan had a peak Monarch-level Funeral Yellow Sand Dragon. In that case, it would indeed be effortless for him to kill Chu Mu!

“Big Brother Li Hen, do Soul Pet Masters have ups and downs in their strength?” Ting Lan asked, curious.

“Of course, even an existence like Li Hong has his weak moments. Real strong ones never have it completely smooth. I think Xia Guanghan is probably a substituting Soul Pet Master, the kind who constantly discards old Soul Pets to cultivate higher-ranked new-generation Soul Pets as we often mention. Such Soul pet Masters have a trough in their strength when they discard old-generation Soul Pets and start cultivating new ones. However, once they cultivate a new generation of Soul Pets to the Tenth Rank, their power will dramatically increase, almost instantly surpassing many of their fellow Soul Pet Masters,” Li Hen replied.

Ting Lan and Shang Heng had heard about substituting Soul Pet Masters. They never strengthened their Soul Pets’ combat power levels and instead chose to break soul contracts and find and cultivate new Soul Pets when their Soul Pets could no longer keep up with their cultivation speed.

These Soul Pet Masters, who were always experiencing soul injury, looked pale and sickly, and often needed various spirit items to nourish their souls.

“So if he’s been missing for years, wouldn’t his strength be in a strong period now? Could he already have a Peak Monarch Level Soul Pet like Brother Li Hen?” Shang Heng asked.

“It’s hard to say. He definitely kept a few old generation soul pets, and if his new generation soul pets have matured, then his strength might not be much inferior to mine.” Li Hen said.

Li Hen didn’t like anyone from the Nightmare Demon Palace, especially Xia Guanghan, who always wore a foul expression. However, he couldn’t deny that Xia Guanghan’s cultivation method of changing soul pets was terrifying. When his true power erupted, he would surpass his peers by a large margin!

“Then we have to remind Chu Mu.” Ting Lan said worriedly.

“It’s fine; he won’t dare make a move with me here.” Li Hen said.

…

…

Chu Mu, who was walking in the mountain trail, didn’t know that Shang Heng, Ting Lan, and Li Hen were following him from a distance.

Chu Mu had also heard about soul pet masters who changed generations, and in fact, he had some suspicions about Xia Guanghan being such a soul pet master. After all, the strength Xia Guanghan displayed at the Demon Spirit House at that time didn’t seem to match the normal rhythm.

As Chu Mu gained more understanding of the strength hierarchy, he gradually realized that Xia Guanghan must have had some skill in order to have a Ninth Level title and wield so much power within the Nightmare Demon Palace.

Back in the Demon Spirit House, his soul pets were all in a lower stage. Compared to the current realm of the strong with abundant Tenth Rank soul pets, they were no match at all. Under such circumstances, he couldn’t possibly get a Ninth Level title in the Nightmare Demon Palace. Additionally, he always looked pale and sickly, which was probably due to his soul being injured.

As such, Chu Mu felt that it was very likely Xia Guanghan was a soul pet master of changing generations, and at the time in the Demon Spirit House, Xia Guanghan was in a low point of that period.

Of course, such soul pet masters would certainly retain a few main pets during the change, but he couldn’t summon them under the territory of the Quasi-Emperor Class Lan Yu Demon Spirit Emperor at that time.

Master Li had informed Chu Mu of the situation regarding soul pet masters who changed generations, and precisely because of this, Chu Mu felt that confronting Xia Guanghan right now was too early.

No matter if Xia Guanghan was such a soul pet master or not, Chu Mu’s main goal right now was to advance to the Seventh Level of soul sense.

Once he reached the Seventh Level, no matter what kind of soul pet master Xia Guanghan was, he could easily kill him!

If Chu Mu were to divide the gap between the Sixth Level and the Seventh Level into ten, under normal circumstances, he could only improve one point per month.

In other words, without consuming any spirit items, Chu Mu would need ten months to possibly advance from the Sixth Level to the Seventh.

The spirit items Ye Qingzi gave Chu Mu were extremely effective, directly increasing his soul sense by about four points, which would save him four months of cultivation time.

For the remaining six points, ordinary soul pet masters could only rely on the accumulation of time and enhancement of their soul pets. Even some talented, but lazy soul pet masters might take several years to improve.

However, Chu Mu had a very special way to enhance his soul sense!

This method was often used by Chu Mu when he was on Prison Island, especially when faced with Nightmare Demon Palace members!

This method of strength enhancement was extremely unique and stemmed from Chu Mu’s white demon, who had an extraordinary talent and would get extremely excited and crazed when it came to devouring its own kind!

Same-species Devouring!

The White Nightmare Demon had a unique ability to devour its own kind!

During the devouring process, the White Nightmare Demon’s strength would increase, while Chu Mu’s own soul sense would also greatly improve, as if both their souls were enhanced by this devouring!

In this Eighth Realm, there were many strong members of the Nightmare Demon Palace, especially the top 3 ranked experts. The Nightmare Demons they possessed were great supplements for Chu Mu’s White Nightmare Demon!

For the White Nightmare Demon, these same-species Nightmare Demons were great nourishment, and for Chu Mu, they were the purest energy for enhancing his soul sense!

Chu Mu’s method was to aggressively hunt down and kill members of the Nightmare Demon Palace and use their Nightmare Demons to boost their own strength!
