Chapter 368 Lin Chen's Two Stomachs; The Taotie Eats Itself!
Lin Chen, as if possessed, bit off a piece of flesh from the Taotie's lower jaw in one go!
The flesh and blood entered Lin Chen's mouth, instantly pulverized by the power of Devour.
At the same time, the Taotie, stung by the pain, constricted its enormous maw...
It turned out the Taotie possessed the ability to instantly transfer its flesh and blood!
The large chunk of lower jaw that Lin Chen had just bitten off was instantly replaced by flesh and blood from elsewhere on its body.
Not a single drop of essence blood leaked!
The wound seemed to heal in an instant!
Simultaneously, the Taotie bit down on Lin Chen...
Both the bite force and the area covered were far stronger than the Heaven Swallowing Howl of the Main God Realm!
At the crucial moment, Lin Chen blocked his head with his left hand...
*Boom!*
His left hand was bitten!
This was the first time Lin Chen had been bitten.
The immense bite force caused Lin Chen excruciating pain...
The piercing agony made Lin Chen roar madly!
But at the same time, Lin Chen's eyes widened!
This was another unprecedented sensation...
His left hand was currently being pulverized by the powerful Devour power of the universe!
Due to the realism of the illusion, Lin Chen's comprehension was profound... Lin Chen could even clearly feel the subtle sensations emanating from every pore on his body.
It was the most perfect interpretation of the power of Devour!
Any equipment on his body completely lost its effectiveness in the face of the most primitive and purest power of Devour...
Directly ignored!
"Today, either you eat me, or I eat you!"
Lin Chen roared, "I don't need this left hand!"
The next moment, he used his entire left arm as bait, resisting the Taotie's bite.
Then Lin Chen also kept biting the Taotie...
In the endless biting, Lin Chen gradually mastered a skill.
His bitten-off left arm directly grew back.
However, Lin Chen's figure was constantly shrinking, becoming smaller...
Two thousand zhang, nineteen thousand zhang, eighteen thousand zhang. (One zhang is approximately 3.3 meters.)
Smaller and smaller.
The Taotie was the same.
Both sides were competing in terms of size!
But this was undoubtedly the Taotie's favorite method...
Primitive.
Bestial.
Cruel!
Not just cruel to the enemy.
To itself, it was equally cruel!
As long as it could eat, it feared nothing when it came to flesh and blood!
Moreover, it was clear that the Taotie's digestive system was more developed...
Why do I say that?
Because the Taotie's size wasn't decreasing by much.
It wasn't shrinking by thousands of zhang like Lin Chen... That was because it could quickly transform the flesh and blood it devoured into its own body's energy, but Lin Chen clearly couldn't.
Right now, Lin Chen's stomach was still very large.
The Heaven Swallowing Howl he had previously devoured was still being digested.
This seemed to be another realm of the power of Devour...
Digestion!
What use was there in having only the power of Devour without the power of digestion?
You had to know how to eat, and also how to transform power!
Clearly, this was another level of cosmic power.
So the reason the Taotie could contend with the Demon Emperor, and even go toe-to-toe with an Eighth Cycle expert like the Heavenly Emperor, was because it possessed a cosmic power.
An ultimate cosmic power!
"Today, you can either eat me completely, but I, Lin Chen, will definitely obtain this ultimate cosmic power!"
Lin Chen was also a cruel person.
He was especially cruel to himself!
Yes.
Even if he was eaten inch by inch, he didn't care.
He absolutely had to comprehend the strongest power of Devour on the Taotie's body.
That was the super digestion power!
However, Lin Chen also knew the gap between himself and it.
Therefore...
Lin Chen was going to start changing his strategy.
First, he took the opportunity to tear off a large chunk of flesh from the Taotie's body.
Then, just as the Taotie was about to bite him, he used the Harmonious Coexistence (He Guang Tong Chen) technique.
Instantly, he disappeared from the spot.
Then, as Lin Chen expected, the Taotie, using its own flesh and blood to fill the wound, searched frantically for its target, but Lin Chen was gone. For a moment, the Taotie seemed at a loss.
Lin Chen found an opportunity and planned to appear behind the Taotie.
Then, take another big bite!
But just as Lin Chen was about to make his move, a scene that shocked him unfolded...
The Taotie couldn't find its target, but it had digested all the things it had eaten to replenish its flesh and blood. It seemed to be extremely hungry.
As the number one glutton in the universe, it was extremely insane when it was starving!
Insane to the point that Lin Chen saw what it meant to eat oneself for the first time!
The Taotie opened its mouth to the extreme.
Then, the Taotie's body, except for its head, completely detached from it.
Immediately afterward, the Taotie, turning its head, bit down.
"Good heavens, this..."
Lin Chen was shocked.
The Taotie only had its head left.
It didn't have a stomach!
So, how was it digesting its own body?
There was only one answer...
This guy also had a digestive system in its head!
"A digestive system existing in the head?"
Lin Chen exclaimed, "So that's how you can digest flesh and blood so quickly. If I..."
Taking advantage of the Taotie still eating itself, Lin Chen knew that at this moment, no external force could hurt its hide, whether it was the Demonic Sky Thousand Blade Slash or the Myriad Swords Return to Emptiness...
Only the purest power of Devour could pierce and even pulverize its flesh and blood!
Therefore, Lin Chen could only watch now.
No!
Lin Chen didn't want to just watch.
He was thinking...
Why can't I have a few more digestive systems too?
But on second thought, no!
Can't have too many!
Why do I say that?
Just look at the Taotie...
This guy definitely has more than two digestive systems.
Its digestive system is estimated to be at least four or more!
Stomach, head, tail...
And then there's the back.
No wonder the Taotie is so hungry!
If Lin Chen were to create so many digestive systems for himself...
Then he would definitely become a second Taotie in the future!
That's not what Lin Chen wanted.
All he wanted was the top-level power of Devour.
Little master, there are more chapters behind this one ^.^, please click the next page to continue reading, the following is even more exciting!
Lin Chen didn't want to become a monster like the Taotie.
Therefore...
"Then I'll just put another digestive system in my head!"
Lin Chen made a decision.
But, how to do it?
It was also very simple.
Having reached his realm, it wasn't difficult to modify his body.
What's more, this was still within the illusion.
Even suicide didn't matter.
Lin Chen directly committed seppuku! (ritual suicide by samurai)
Holding his stomach in his hand.
Very large.
Looking at it...
A bit nauseating.
Bulging inside.
Never mind.
Ten Radiant Saint Crystals were used to reinforce it, coated a layer on the outside, and then... a knife cut!
The huge stomach was split in two.
But both were still connected to Lin Chen's body.
Then another ten Radiant Saint Crystals were used to directly heal the two halves of the stomach into complete ones...
This way, he would have two stomachs!
Lin Chen then removed another stomach and 'put it' into his head...
Yes!
Lin Chen opened a door behind his head.
He put it in.
Then, one side was connected to his sea of souls.
The other side was connected to his esophagus... This way, both stomachs would have complete functions.
He could use them however he wanted.
And he didn't have to worry about the problem of excretion...
The Taotie only took in and never excreted.
Why?
Pure cosmic Devour power could do this.
Only the essence would enter the body among all the flesh and blood pulverized by the power of Devour.
Speaking of which, the Heart Demon should actually be another stomach... but the word "stomach" should be in quotation marks, because the Heart Demon was responsible for absorbing and devouring Lin Chen's various negative emotions and evil nature.
When devouring other people's souls, negative emotions would inevitably arise.
Or an evil heart.
And the Heart Demon ate this.
With two stomachs, Lin Chen also lost a lot of essence blood from his body.
But it didn't matter.
Radiant Saint Crystals could replenish it.
Then Lin Chen looked at the Taotie and revealed a cruel smile, "Come on, let's continue."
What responded to him was a roar of anger.
Immediately afterward, they began tearing at each other again!
This time, Lin Chen wasn't playing any tricks. He was just seeing if his two stomachs could compete with the Taotie... Because Lin Chen didn't plan to increase his number of stomachs anymore. He was afraid that he would become another Taotie, only knowing how to devour.
After all, having too many stomachs made it easy to get hungry!
Once he was driven mad by hunger, he would completely sink into it and become a pure glutton who only knew how to eat.
He would even lose his humanity.
Having one more stomach...
Wouldn't be too much of a problem.
But it was clear that Lin Chen's digestion speed still couldn't compare to the Taotie's...
So, the final result was that Lin Chen was eaten down to his original size.
One meter eighty. (approximately 5'11")
Still the handsome Lin Chen.
But...
The Taotie was still ten thousand zhang in size.
"I can't beat it, I surrender."
Lin Chen was very straightforward.
Moreover, this was the first time Lin Chen had voluntarily and willingly surrendered.
As it currently stood, his understanding of the power of Devour was definitely not as good as the Taotie's.
But...
It was already very good.
The Taotie was also reduced by Lin Chen to about one-fifth of its original size.
So, there was only about a 20% gap left.
Lin Chen was very satisfied.
After all, this was an Eighth Cycle Taotie!
Even the Demon Emperor could only suppress it.
But what about Lin Chen?
His current strength was definitely not Eighth Cycle.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have had a body of only two thousand zhang...
Lin Chen was thinking: What if he also had a body of fifty thousand zhang?
After all, the current Lin Chen, at only about half that size, could tear at the Taotie like this...
If Lin Chen had a body of fifty thousand zhang, he would definitely be able to beat the Taotie!
No!
He didn't need fifty thousand zhang.
He should be able to do it when he reached forty thousand zhang!
And by then, he would have made up for the gap in the power of Devour...
Then, Lin Chen really had a chance to devour the Taotie!
So Lin Chen wasn't in a hurry.
He would retreat first.
The next moment, the Taotie in the illusion disappeared.
The Wangchuan Flower Spirit appeared in front of Lin Chen and said, "Actually, Human Emperor, I feel you could have fought a little longer... However, since Human Emperor has made a decision, then according to the agreement, one thousand Evil Spirit Fruits will be deducted. In the end, the Evil Spirit Fruits obtained by the Human Emperor for this entire challenge are... twenty thousand!"
So many?
Lin Chen smiled, "Thank you, Flower Fairy."
"Hehe, Human Emperor is the first one to call me that. Then thank you too, Human Emperor!"
The Wangchuan Flower Spirit giggled.
Soon, Lin Chen exited the illusion.
The Wangchuan Flower Spirit said, "Goodbye, Human Emperor. If you need anything in the future, feel free to come find me!"
Lin Chen nodded.
But, as soon as he turned his head, he found that Yang Yourong and Ying Xiyue were both staring at him with strange expressions.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Chen was slightly stunned.
"Tch, shameless!" Ying Xiyue spat.
"That's right, what do you mean by going to find her if you need anything... Master's little brother, what did you do with her in the illusion?" Yang Yourong was still a ghost spirit, and she asked with a fake smile.
Originally, she had the temperament of a cool and aloof elder sister.
Now that she asked like this, that temperament became even stronger.
Lin Chen said with a straight face, "Don't be ridiculous. She's talking about the Evil Spirit Fruits... Here, twenty thousand of them. This is the reward I got from fighting the Taotie in the illusion!"
"There was a Taotie in the illusion?"
Yang Yourong was shocked.
After all, she was hiding in Lin Chen's sea of souls and had faced the Taotie with Lin Chen.
Naturally, she knew what kind of terrifying existence it was!
As a result, Lin Chen was actually fighting with the Taotie?
"Alright, we should almost go back... Emperor Ying, I'll trouble you to select twenty thousand human heroic spirits to form an Underworld Emperor army led by you! In the future, you will be the power that dominates the entire Lower Universe! In fact, I, the Human Emperor, will give you all titles, making you all human ghosts and gods... The Underworld will become a part of our human race, and our human race..."
Lin Chen announced loudly, "Will be invincible in the entire universe!"
Yes, invincible!
Now, more than a month has passed since the acceleration of time on Blue Star.
According to the acceleration calculation, several years should have passed.
Technology is developing.
It will definitely become stronger in the future!
Then, Lin Chen also controlled the Underworld.
Although Lin Chen only set the rules of the Underworld, which seemed to only help the human race increase its population and would not provide actual combat power, things were different now.
What would it mean to have twenty thousand ghost emperors?
Even if they went to the Upper Universe and were suppressed, they could still reach at least the True God level because they were conferred human ghosts and gods.
The human race suddenly had twenty thousand True Gods...
Tell me, what can't they crush?
Of course, the Evil Spirit Fruits could only increase the upper limit of the cultivation of these twenty thousand heroic spirits to the realm of Ghost Emperor.
It didn't mean that they would all immediately become Ghost Emperors after eating the Evil Spirit Fruits.
They still needed to constantly devour ghost spirits and constantly cultivate to become stronger.
This process would probably take at least four or five months!
So...
As long as the human race could persevere for about four or five more months, when Emperor Ying's Ghost Emperor army and the human race's technology fleet were fully formed, the God-Demon Battlefield would be the human race's world!
At this moment, Lin Chen no longer hid his ambition.
There was nothing to hide.
Anyway, the Demon Emperor was also scheming against the human race.
Everyone was scheming!
Then...
He would just rebel against them all!
