Chapter 283
"So hungry . . . "
"So thirsty…"
If Lu Sheng had had a mirror in front of him, he would've seen that both of his eyes were emitting a clear green glow .
A glow filled with thirst and greed .
He was too hungry, hungry to the point where his vision was blurry, to the point where every cell in his body roared in anger, signaling a need for more Devil Qi, more food .
Breaking through to Devil Master and restructuring his body each required an immense amount of energy, and the only way to get that energy was through food .
Even before all this, Lu Sheng's appetite was ten times that of a normal human's . Right now, he felt like he could swallow an entire elephant .
"Bam!"
He took a step, but didn't realize that his body had unknowingly bulged and turned back into his original form .
"Snap!"
A pair of thick fleshy wings grew out of his back . On it were two eyeballs as big as fists, darting around, watching everything around it .
The look the eyes contained revealed only evil and cruelty, bringing with them the purest desire to consume .
Lu Sheng walked in front of the altar, back in his original form . The three meter tall body had four horns curling backwards . Both of his eyes were flashing green and his lower body was bloated, and had a giant tail swaying behind his back .
"Bam!"
He kicked the altar apart, exposing another wooden door that was emitting black smoke .
The door was only as tall as a person, about two meters wide . Not at all enough for his original form .
But Lu Sheng had completely lost his mind because of his hunger . He wouldn't snap out of it unless met with critical danger .
He grabbed the wooden door and violently pushed it open .
"Boom!!"
The wooden door instantly shattered .
A scarlet monster with a goat's body and a scorpion's tail with flames all over its body charged out of the door .
"MUHAHAHA! Finally! It's been 300 years!!! I, Aben'Hagen Dimo, finally— what the…" The devil raised his head, laughing frantically . He suddenly turned his head and saw Lu Sheng's giant form, drooling as he stood there .
His body, which was only about the same height as a normal human, looked like a kid in front of Lu Sheng .
"Whoosh!!"
The black claw landed with a boom . Countless black jets exploded outward, covering up all of the possible escape routes .
The goat bodied devil was astonished . He opened his mouth to beg for mercy but it was already too late . The hard goat horn that he held as his pride bent and shattered like tofu underneath Lu Sheng's claw, and his whole body was rolled up into a ball .
Lu Sheng rolled around his hands again, then squeezed hard, turning the devil into a meatball . Dark-red blood leaked through his fingers .
He opened his mouth, the mouth that one second ago was the size of a normal human's, but now expanded to more than a meter wide as if it was made of rubber . The row after row of sharp teeth glowed with a cold light like a meat grinder .
"Snap, snap!"
One bite .
Lu Sheng stuffed the entire meatball into his mouth, and chewed only once or twice before swallowing .
"Gurgle . "
Lu Sheng's stomach rumbled: it first bulged, but then started to deflate at a visible rate .
He grabbed the wooden door with both hands and tugged at it violently .
"Boom!"
The wooden door was torn off with a single pull, bringing the ground around it along with it .
Lu Sheng promptly jumped down the dark hole .
The level below had the exact same cavern . However, unlike the previous ones, the air here was freezing cold, and there was a layer of ice covering the wall while the ceiling was covered by countless icicles .
Lu Sheng landed with a loud slam, his body becoming noticeably bigger . He flapped his wings again . Those weren't even for flight, but for hunting .
The wings that grew out of extreme hunger had a slim row of claws along the tips for grappling and tearing prey, while the eyes on them would attack anyone that they stared at with a mental attack that would induce confusion .
These were originally the powers of Lu Sheng's Snake of Bitterness Yin Devil, but after his Devil Qi had been improved many times, these power turned into inherent abilities .
First, use the Sinister Stare to stun the prey, then approach it slowly to rip it apart with the claws, and finally, stuff the pieces into his mouth .
This was the body of the evolved Devil King .

Lu Sheng walked around the cavern . There was the clear scent of lives all around, but none of them dared to approach him .
The scorpion-tailed goat devil that charged out first was one of the strongest among them, but was still squished into a ball and eaten by Lu Sheng in a single bite .
This immediately made all the devils in the cavern think again . They were all intelligent, and some of them were even guardians before they were corrupted .
But no one dared to try to stop Lu Sheng .
"Food… Food…" Lu Sheng's eyes defocused from hunger, looking all around, trying to catch the strongest scent around him .
Normal food could no longer quench his hunger . . . his insatiable hunger .
Soon, he sensed a huge, obese devil . He felt its presence appear near him .
This fat devil's obese stomach was made out of tissues containing potent energy similar to fat . Its bones were impossibly hard, made out of dense substances that were very difficult to digest: which meant that they contained vast amounts of energy as well .
Lu Sheng waited a bit before slowly walking towards the fat devil .
"Splash!"
The two eyes on his wings looked around and immediately caught the devil in the shadows, the evil gaze used emitted a strong mental attack onto it .
The fat devil instantly collapsed .
"No… Don't…" Tear and snot started to flow from his eyes and nose . He wanted to retreat, but his whole body was stiff and unable to move .
Devils around him scattered away frantically .
Lu Sheng approached step by step . He swiped the rock aside with his claw and walked in front of the fat devil .
This devil also was also about three meters tall . His body was huge, with thick skin and dense muscles, and in his hands were two huge dark-green knives . But his strong body, the muscles and scales that he held as his pride were now his most obvious burden .
Lu Sheng stood in front of him, looking at the shivering devil .
"Whoosh . "
The claws at the tip of his wings held the devil's body . Lu Sheng's giant mouth cracked open again, expanding .
"Hisss . . . "
Lu Sheng's mouth started to expand to its limit, and soon became a meter wide . His mouth was like a giant tub of blood that contained three rows of sharp teeth as well as a coarse tongue covered in barbs .

"Puff!"
Lu Sheng somehow managed to just directly bite the upper half of the fat devil .
The entire meter-plus long upper body of the devil was completely lifted into the air and stuffed into his mouth .
His throat bulged, similar to a python swallowing an elephant . It slowly squirmed, slowly stuffing the whole devil into his stomach .
There weren't any screams . There weren't any cries .
There was only a spreading sense of dread .
Devils hiding all around were on the verge of a mental collapse . But, if they moved now, that would only give away their hiding spot .
No one moved . All devils that could hold their breath stopped breathing, some of them even started to repress their heartbeats .
"Bloop . . . "
Bit by bit, Lu Sheng stuffed the entire body of the fat devil into his mouth .
His stomach now had a bulge the size of the fat devil he just swallowed .
Lu Sheng's body seemed to sense that the current shape was inconvenient . Black mist started to surround his body as poison fire burned all around, while his body started to expand once more, strengthening parts of his digestive system at a fast rate .
Lu Sheng was now four meters tall and three meters wide . His whole body was covered in dark-purple scales surrounded by mist, with faint glowing coming from the narrow gaps in between scales . His two wings flapped occasionally, searching for the next prey .
The fat devil he swallowed only lasted about ten breaths in Lu Sheng's stomach before it was digested at a visible rate .
"The hunger . . . " Lu Sheng didn't relent after obtaining the food and energy he wanted . The one devil was far from enough to support him through to the Devil Master level .
"Whoosh!"
He disappeared instantly from where he was standing, leaving behind an explosive mark on the ground .
"AGHHHHH!!"
In the corner, a bull-headed horse demon was caught, raised in the air by Lu Sheng's wings, and promptly stuffed into his mouth .
The devil screamed and roared in anger, but Lu Sheng's strength clamped it so tightly that it couldn't move . Lu Sheng stuffed it while it flailed around into his mouth .
Devils close by could even see the bull-headed horse devil struggling in Lu Sheng's throat .

"Gurgle . . . "
Some devils moved silently towards the level below, while other tried to escape to the level above .
With the first, there would always be the second and the third .
Lu Sheng hunted down prey like a bolt of lighting and devil after devil was stuffed into his mouth and digested to provide nutrients for his body .
The the Devil Qi being emitted from the devils mixed with the Devil Essence in the air provided Devil Essence needed to strengthen Lu Sheng's body .
After wave after wave of screams—after Lu Sheng slowly swallowed 23 devils whole—there was finally nothing left in the cavern .
All the other devils had escaped .
And Lu Sheng's body had reached six meters in height . A giant blood-red symbol started to appear on his back, emitting a stable red glow .
But the evolution process of the Cheating Device still hadn't ended .
Lu Sheng's body was still evolving . This was the first time he ran out of Mental Energy for his evolution .
The first time that he had to find a new source of energy by himself .
Before this, he'd always thought that using Mental Energy to evolve martial art and secret arts didn't require him to find other forms of energy .
He realized now that he was wrong .
The only sanity he had remaining drove him towards the entrance to the next level .
"Bam!!"
The altar was smashed to pieces, exposing the white wooden door to the next level .
But this time, the wooden door was already open . A leopard-headed humanoid devil slowly rose up from the door .
But as the devil flowed up, the body he displayed became longer and longer .
Underneath the devil was another leopard-headed humanoid devil with the same appearance . The two devils were connected head to feet . The feet of the devil on top was connected with the head of the devil below, seemingly as if they had grown together like that .
As time passed, one after another leopard-headed devil continuously emerged . One, two, three, five, ten, twenty . . .
Finally, all these devils coiled up like a giant serpent, with their tens of pairs of eyes staring at Lu Sheng .
"Outsider, this is the Devil's Abyss, the Devil's Abyss that runs through everything and connects countless worlds . These levels are all territories of I, the Ancient Serpent Mornu! How dare you intrude and prey upon my subjects!" The serpent made out of of leopard-headed devils stared at Lu Sheng with a cruel and greedy expression .Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
