Ye Chen frowned. The temperature of the black flames around his body increased exponentially, instantly burning the Black Blood Worms that had crawled in through the holes in the black flames into ashes.
The Black Blood Worms continued to rush over like an ocean. Ye Chen's expression was solemn. He reached out and pinched a Black Blood Worm that had crawled in through the holes in the black flames. With a slight force, the Black Blood Worm's body caved in from the pressure. Traces of black blood seeped out from the black carapace on the surface of its body, emitting a foul smell.
Ye Chen did not immediately crush it to death. He quietly pinched it. As expected, the Black Blood Worm slowly extended many tiny red tentacles from its black carapace. They gently opened the pores on Ye Chen's fingers before entering.
When the pores were opened, Ye Chen felt a numbing sensation on his fingers. It was an indescribable comfort.
The Black Blood Worm quickly entered his body through his fingers. It swam through his blood vessels and swallowed large amounts of blood. It continued along his arm and extended towards his brain.
Ye Chen was deep in thought. When the Black Blood Worm was about to extend to his brain, with a thought, all the blood and bones in his body, including the blood that the Black Blood Worm had swallowed, were instantly turned into intense flames. In an instant, the Black Blood Worm was burned into a black gas. It floated out of the pores on his neck and dissipated.
"So this is how this little thing eats."
Ye Chen's eyes flashed. He flipped his palm and took out the Demonic Palace from his internal universe. Then, with a thought, the Black Blood Worms that had been placed inside all crawled out of the various large buildings and quickly gathered in a huge square in the middle.
The leader was a furry Black Blood Worm with countless black tentacles. Its huge body was more than three times the size of the other Black Blood Worms. Many of the tentacles on its body flickered with a faint golden light. It was filled with a solemn and dignified aura.
In front of it were hundreds of thousands of Black Blood Worms. After such a long time of reproduction, their numbers had reached a sizeable number. At a glance, it was like a black sea that filled every corner of the huge square.
"Master," Little Black said happily, "You finally remembered me, sob sob sob …"
Ye Chen looked down on everything like a god. With a thought, he took Xiao Hei out of the Demon God Palace, allowing him to lie on his palm. He asked, "What's your current constitution?"
Little Black looked at the outer layer of black flames and was shocked. It rolled restlessly in Ye Chen's palm and groaned, "So hot, so hot. What the hell is this place …"
Ye Chen drew a line with his finger, and a protective wall carved out of ice and snow appeared around its body, isolating it from the heat wave outside. "Hurry up and speak."
"You're only at Semi-Divinity realm pinnacle, but I heard from Little Violet that you've already become a formidable figure. Boss, when are you going to promote me as well? At the very least, I won't embarrass you when I go out with you. I know that you're a dashing young man, and I know that you have an extraordinary disposition …"
Ye Chen glanced at it and grabbed a Black Blood Worm from outside the flames. He said, "If you can subdue it, you'll be rewarded handsomely."
Little Black looked at the Black Blood Worm with a black shell. Its fat body with black tentacles rolled around like a rubber ball. It said with grievance, "What is this thing? It looks so disgusting, and it has the aura of a god on it …"
Ye Chen frowned and pondered for a moment. With a thought, a wisp of divine consciousness appeared in the runic spaceship in his internal world. He said to Hen Litian, the leader of the Heaven Resentment Civilization, "Do you have any god-level servants or slaves in your internal universe?"
Hen Litian shook his head and said, "I don't, but the leader of the Zither Civilization does."
Ye Chen moved his divine consciousness and went to the leader of the Zither Civilization. He directly ordered him to open his internal universe and pick a mid-level god-level slave. He placed the slave beside him and instantly created an ice wall and wind barrier to isolate the temperature outside. Even so, this mid-level god-level slave was sweating profusely. However, his expression was dull, as though he didn't feel anything.
Ye Chen said to Little Black, "Go and devour him. Then raise your cultivation to the god-level."
Little Black's eyes lit up and said, "Really?"
Although it was still asking, its body shot out from Ye Chen's palm like a rubber ball and flew toward the god-level slave. It then laid on the neck of the slave and used its tentacles to open up the pores on its body. Its body slowly entered.
This god-level slave was like a soulless puppet. His expression was dull, and he stood there motionless.
Looking from the outside, one could see that at the position of his jugular vein, there was a small bulge under his skin, and then it quickly climbed out of his head.
When the small bulge under his skin reached the back of his ear, the god-level slave's eyes showed pain. It looked like he was struggling. He reached out his hand to cover his head. His body was releasing waves of god-level power.
"Oh, no! He is resisting," Little Black said in shock.
Ye Chen frowned. He reached out his hand and pressed it on the forehead of the god-level slave. Suddenly, his soul was shattered.
Little Black took the opportunity to sneak in. Not long after, the god-level slave's eyes shone again. They were full of cunning and cold eyes.
The light flashed, and then it quickly returned to its dead grey dullness. Then, under his skin, a small bulge was seen moving quickly toward his heart.
After around three minutes, the god-level slave's body became a dozen times thinner. His body was all skin and bones. The essence and flesh of his body were all in Little Black's stomach.
If someone were to see this scene, they would definitely feel their scalp go numb. How cruel and merciless would one have to be to do such a cruel thing of feeding a monster with a living person?
Ye Chen looked normal. When Little Black swallowed all of the god-level slave's essence and came out of his ear, Little Black's body clapped. He became three times fatter. He was like a small apple. He jumped and landed on Ye Chen's shoulder.
"I am so full. Boss, I am going to break through. When I digest all of this, I will break through. Ah! It is almost digested. It is almost done."
Little Black cheered. Before he finished speaking, a golden light suddenly pierced through the sky above Ye Chen's head. The illusory godly power penetrated the outer shell of the blood beast. It passed through the black flame cover and landed on Little Black's body, transforming every inch of his flesh.
Little Black's body floated in the golden light. After a long time, the golden light gradually disappeared. Little Black's body landed on Ye Chen's shoulder again. His body was originally black, but now, the tentacles on his body had become dark gold. They were full of power.
"If you can't beat it, get eaten." Ye Chen grabbed him and threw him toward the black blood worm.
Little Black's fighting spirit was high. When he heard Ye Chen's words, he didn't dare to be careless. He knew that this murderous demon always did what he said. He immediately gathered all of the power in his body and attached it to his tentacles. Then, he landed in front of the black blood worm.
"Squeak squeak —"
The Black Blood Worm let out a sharp hiss. The eight sharp black legs under the black carapace suddenly exerted force and charged toward Blackie. Furthermore, from a place that could not be seen from the carapace, a sharp needle of compressed golden divine power shot out without warning.
Little Black was shocked and hurriedly dodged. However, he was still unable to dodge in time. One of the black blood worm's legs hooked onto his body, causing a huge wound.
The intense burning pain and shame instantly ignited his anger. He didn't rush forward recklessly. After eating a large number of human brains, he had already gained some intelligence that didn't belong to humans. At this critical moment, he kept persuading himself to calm down.
Soon, he really did calm down.
As he dodged, he paid close attention to the black blood worm's attack pattern. After withstanding more than ten attacks, he was already covered in wounds.
He finally saw a glimmer of hope —
Every time the black blood worm attacked, there would be an inertia movement. Its two front legs would bend backward. Little Black took advantage of this opportunity. It knew that by bending its front legs, it would accumulate power and its speed would be suppressed.
He suddenly let out a sharp squeak. The countless tentacles on his body were tied together like hemp ropes. The boundless godly power in his body surged wildly, forming a huge and sharp sword light. It cut through the air and ruthlessly slashed toward the black blood worm.
There were two sword lights in the afterimage behind the sword light. Most people would think that it was enough to block the first sword light and that the afterimages were just afterimages. However, they didn't know that this was a set of three consecutive attacks.
Naturally, Xiao Hei had learned this from the human's mind that it had once devoured. It was most interested in this kind of trick.
The black blood worm was hit on the spot. With a cry, its body was split in half by the second and third sword light. It died instantly.
Ye Chen waved his hand and grabbed the bodies of Little Black and the black blood worm. He said indifferently, "You took a little too long."
Little Black was prepared to hear praise. When he heard this, he immediately looked up and sighed helplessly.
Ye Chen's expression was normal. He grabbed another black blood worm from the black flames outside and threw it to Little Black. "Go and take over its body." Little Black was like a ball.
Little Black was like a furball, rolling around in his palm, "I'm not going, I'm not going. I'm exhausted from dealing with that one. Hmph, I know you must have been trapped here by these little bugs. You want me to control one of them, then you can catalyze its body into the God Emperor realm and become the leader of these bugs. You want me to help you solve your problems? Hmph, I can help you, but I'm exhausted. I want to eat good food."
Ye Chen saw that Little Black had spoken his thoughts. He rolled his eyes in annoyance and said, "Are you going or not?"
"I'm not going."
"You're really not going?"
"… Don't threaten me."
"Are you sure?"
"… Alright, I'll go. But I'm really exhausted."
Little Black looked at Ye Chen's dangerous eyes. His heart was beating like a drum. The power that Ye Chen had accumulated in his heart suddenly showed its effect. He didn't dare to say more and could only back off helplessly.
