Soon after.

Chen Sheng’s figure appeared at the location of the Holy Sect people.

Upon arrival.

His eyebrows immediately furrowed.

A disgusted expression appeared on his face.

In the air, there was a pervasive stench.

On the ground, the bodies of Holy Sect personnel were covered in a dark red viscous fluid.

And as time slowly passed, more dark red pus oozed from the pores of the skin. The strong stench became even more intense.

Especially under the heightened senses.

This smell was even more unbearable. Helplessly,

Chen Sheng could only hold his breath.

Nevertheless, with his body’s current strength, he doesn’t rely too much on air.

So-called breathing was just a habitual behavior developed over the years.

Upon isolating himself from the stench, Chen Sheng began to sense the aura of the people on the ground.

After the Flesh Consciousness was wiped out, they did not lose their vitality like Xiang Zilong.

The parasitic flesh tissue in their bodies was rapidly decaying while being expelled, gradually forming the dark red viscous fluid on the surface of their bodies.

At least in sensing, the life aura of everyone was very stable.

It was so stable that it didn’t seem like being in a coma, but rather, entered into a dream state.

However…

Chen Sheng looked at them and couldn’t help but hesitate.

The hiding ability of Flesh Consciousness was extremely terrifying.

Although its main body had been beaten by him,

Chen Sheng wasn’t sure whether there was still any residual consciousness hidden in the bodies of the Holy Sect followers or in the surrounding flesh.

The best approach, was naturally to kill everyone involved in this operation.

But in doing so, it would probably be difficult to explain to the Holy Sect Sect Leader.

How come all the people involved in the operation you, Chen Sheng, participated in are dead, leaving only you?

Even if someone would investigate later, as long as the Flesh Consciousness didn’t show itself again, Chen Sheng would have nothing to say in his defense. In the end, he might have to start a big killing spree and leave the Holy Sect.

Then Chen Sheng’s efforts for this day would be all for naught.

But if not killed…

In case the Flesh Consciousness was really hiding in these people’s bodies and followed Chen Sheng when he left, it might cause some unimaginable trouble.

By that time,

with the other party’s ability to shield its presence and parasitize human bodies, it will not be as easy as it is now to clean it up.

Just as Chen Sheng was in doubt,

Huh?

His gaze flickered, as if he had discovered something.

He looked at his own palm.

On his knuckles, there was a jet-black ring.

This was the strange creature Chen Sheng and Shen Ziming encountered when they explored the Sealed Land last time.

Chen Sheng called it Xiao Hei.

It was following the previous cultivator of Thunder Breath, and had lived from ancient times to the present.

During Chen Sheng’s exploration of the Sealed Land, it saved his life and even gave him Thunder Breath.

After fighting with the Respected Elder’s clone, it turned into a ring and obediently stayed on Chen Sheng’s finger.

On ordinary days, whenever Chen Sheng releases thunder, he could feel it slowly devouring it.

As for Xiao Hei’s preference for thunder,

Chen Sheng already knew about it and didn’t mind.

On the contrary, he was looking forward to what kind of abilities it had.

After all, it was an existence capable of defeating Heavenly Person along with the previous holder of Thunder Breath.

Chen Sheng did not skimp on the Power of Thunder and occasionally fed it.

It was like keeping a pet.

But since Xiao Hei turned into a ring, apart from automatically devouring the Power of Thunder, there was no other movement.

I didn’t expect today, being in this Flesh Cavern, it actually started to move.

‘Good… good…’

‘Delicious!!!!’

Huh?

Xiao Hei’s voice rang directly in Chen Sheng’s mind.

It left him dumbfounded.

What’s delicious?

Chen Sheng looked around,

except for the unconscious Holy Sect followers on the ground, there’s only the flesh left.

Could it be… Xiao Hei wants to eat this flesh?

Without waiting for Chen Sheng’s speculation,

the originally ring-shaped Xiao Hei transformed into a water droplet and fell directly onto the flesh.

The water droplet continued to move forward, slow but fast.

Soon, it stopped by a Holy Sect follower.

It’s here,

Xiao Hei stopped moving.

The black water droplet slowly stood up, like a snake ready to attack.

The snake head gently pointed at the body in front of it.

‘Delicious!’

Chen Sheng’s mind rang with the sound.

“You want to eat this person?”

He asked with confusion.

He had met so many people before, but had never heard Xiao Hei say he wanted to eat.

Why would he suddenly get excited today?

But as soon as the words fell,

‘No… no!’

‘Inside!’

Xiao Hei pointed again at the Holy Sect follower.

Inside?

Chen Sheng pondered slightly, and a glint flashed in his eyes.

He didn’t think Xiao Hei was just acting on a whim.

From his previous observations,

it was very picky about its appetite, not interested in anything other than the Power of Thunder.

This Holy Sect follower being able to arouse Xiao Hei’s interest, there must be something about him that could attract Xiao Hei.

With that thought,

Chen Sheng nodded his agreement.

“Go ahead.”

He decided to watch and see what exactly had aroused Xiao Hei’s interest.

However,

after Chen Sheng’s agreement, Xiao Hei, who turned into tentacles, hesitated for a long time without taking any action.

It took more than a dozen seconds.

It finally turned its head slowly and looked at Chen Sheng.

‘Dirty…

It pointed at the pus on the Holy Sect follower’s body, and a pitiful voice rang in his mind.

Chen Sheng was speechless.

“You sure are picky, kiddo.”

That said,

He gently exhaled.

Instantly, a gust of wind swept away the pus covering the Holy Sect people’s bodies.

Right after,

There was a whooshing sound.

Little Black crawled along the eyeballs of one Holy Sect follower, burrowing into his body.

The next second.

Chen Sheng heard a faint scream.

This sound,

He had already heard it several times today, so he was quite familiar with it.

As soon as the sound started,

It abruptly stopped.

Little Black emerged from the eye socket again, heading toward another Holy Sect follower’s body and squirming there.

From beginning to end,

The Holy Sect follower showed no sign of awareness, still deep in slumber.

It was as if he was completely unaware of what was happening inside his body.

Time flies, and five minutes passed in an instant.

Little Black squirmed and crawled back onto Chen Sheng’s palm.

This time, it didn’t transform into a ring. As it wriggled,

Little Black grew larger and larger, until it was the size of a baby’s fist, at which point it stopped.

In the pitch-black liquid, it formed a mouth.

With an “ah” sound,

The mouth opened.

Black tentacles were dragging a small clump of meat in front of Chen Sheng.

The meatball was made of numerous tiny meat buds entwining, and it was currently squirming incessantly, as if trying to escape. However, it could not escape Little Black’s “tongue” and was firmly trapped in place. “This is….”

Chen Sheng’s eyes narrowed.

He didn’t need to think to know,

This must be Flesh Consciousness’ backup plan.

As he had expected, the other party had secretly hidden inside people’s bodies, planning to escape this way. “There’s still a lot more…. delicious….”

At this moment.

Little Black’s voice rang out again.

Chen Sheng became interested.

“You can sense where this thing is hiding?”

Flesh Consciousness may have already planted countless traps before being destroyed by him.

Although he didn’t understand why the other party didn’t escape using Xiang

Zilong’s body and instead provoked him to death,

This didn’t affect Chen Sheng seizing the opportunity to wipe it out.

“With it… I can.”

Little Black’s body split a fine tentacle, pointing at the meatball on its tongue.

Seeing this,

Chen Sheng’s mouth curled up slightly.

“Come. ”

“Tell me where the delicious stuff is.” “Once you find it, it’s all yours.”

Upon hearing this,

Little Black immediately became excited and began guiding Chen Sheng’s direction without delay.

Thus,

Chen Sheng’s extermination campaign against Flesh Consciousness resumed again.

From human bodies to hiding within flesh,

In half an hour, under Little Black’s guidance, Chen Sheng discovered and devoured Flesh Consciousness again and again.

This made Chen Sheng couldn’t help but sigh.

No wonder Flesh Consciousness had stupidly waited for him to show up.

It had already split its main body consciousness into countless tiny pieces and hidden them everywhere.

The heart he had killed was probably just a discarded shell.

If it weren’t for Little Black,

This time, the other party might have succeeded in escaping to the outside world.

However,

What Chen Sheng didn’t know was,

Flesh Consciousness couldn’t leave Slumbering Land without occupying a strong enough body.

It had split itself into countless tiny pieces out of necessity.

Splitting oneself,

Meant that the consciousness would be greatly scattered, only able to passively execute the last issued command.

If one wasn’t careful,

These split meat buds could die due to lack of nutrition.

Even with weaker bodies, they might resist and eliminate those meat buds by themselves due to the buds’ weak power.

Flesh Consciousness did this,

All because Chen Sheng forced it to.

It knew that even in its peak state, it wouldn’t stand a chance against Chen Sheng.

It might as well self-divide, bury some of the meat buds within the Holy Sect followers’ bodies, and see if the bud’s absence of consciousness could escape the control of the Sealed Land through their weak bodies.

Another portion hid within the Slumbering Land’s flesh, slowly absorbing its nutrients.

One day,

Flesh Consciousness could be restored again.

However,

It never expected,

That Little Black would appear mid -way.

Little Black could directly sense the location of its buds and even devour them.

so,

In a short half an hour,

All the meat buds that Flesh Consciousness had split throughout the

Slumbering Land were swallowed by Little Black.

‘None left.’

The voice of Little Black rang out again.

Only then did Chen Sheng stop his actions.

‘I ate it.’

It seemed that only when Little Black possessed a portion of the meat buds could it sense the remaining ones. Therefore,

It hadn’t devoured them until now.

Now that all the buds had been collected, Little Black prepared to enjoy itself.

“Go ahead and eat.”

Chen Sheng nodded lightly.

The next second,

A meatball the size of an adult’s fist was swallowed directly by Little Black’s simulated mouth.

It seemed to be struggling inside Little Black’s body.

However,

It was all in vain.

About ten seconds later,

The commotion in Little Black’s body subsided completely.

It transformed back into a ring, coiling around Chen Sheng’s finger.

Seeing this,

Chen Sheng prepared to return to where the Holy Sect people were.

Just then,

His eyes widened slightly.

Whoosh!

Chen Sheng lowered his head and looked at Little Black between his fingers.

He could clearly feel,

An inexplicable power was continuously transmitted from the ring, formed by Little Black, into his body.

This power was intangible and immaterial.

It didn’t directly strengthen Chen Sheng’s body, but something deeper.

It was…

Spiritual Power!!
