Chapter 524: Chapter 522 – A big meatball is born_1

Underworld Court.

In the midst of the chilling breeze, Lu Xuan was focused and serene, gazing at the dark red stone before him.

The stone continued to expand and contract, as if it was breathing.

Lu Xuan sensed its craving for flesh and blood, and promptly brought out the corpse of a massive Tier-4 Demonic Beast.

Detecting the scent of the Demon Beast’s Flesh and Blood, the dark red stone’s breathing rhythm became more urgent. Suddenly, a large mouth full of tiny, fleshy buds appeared on its surface. A large chunk of Demon Beast Meat transformed into a cloud of blood mist and instantly surged into the gaping mouth.

The hard rock surface began to peel off and crumble like molting skin, and a round meatball rolled out from inside.

The meatball was the size of a basin. Its body was light red, and on top was a fist-sized pinkish-white eye that was slowly moving around, with the eyeball rolling about.

The faint red flesh attached to its body floated up and down like water plants, occasionally revealing many tightly sealed mouths inside.

“A disaster-level Evil Spirit? Is this what it is?”

Lu Xuan looked at the surprisingly somewhat cute meatball, the thought flashing across his mind.

Evil Spirits inherently symbolize terror, chaos, killing, and wickedness. Needless to mention a disaster-level Evil Spirit; that could bring great disasters and calamities to the Cultivation World. However, this newly born Spirit of Flesh did not show any of these characteristics.

The meatball seemed to know that Lu Xuan had nurtured it into existence. It bounced over to him, circled around him, and curiously stared at him with its pinkish-white eye.

Lu Xuan promptly formed a contract with it, effectively binding this disaster-level Evil Spirit. He then focused his mind on the meatball.

“[Spirit of Flesh, a Disaster-level Evil Spirit, nourished by the flesh and blood of high-grade monster beasts. It can emit peculiar flesh and blood aura, invisibly attacking and contaminating all living creatures within a certain range.]

[It loves to eat flesh and will gradually comprehend secrets related to flesh and blood while growing. It can control the flesh and blood of everything within a certain range. Its full potential is comparable to a Primordial Infant Cultivator.]

[It wants to eat a lot of meat!!]”

“Indeed, it is a disaster-level Evil Spirit.”

Lu Xuan exclaimed, looking down at the meatball rolling around at his feet with a complicated expression.

“With a disaster-level Evil Spirit, I wonder what kind of generous rewards could be drawn from the Light Cluster if it’s raised.”

“Although its potential is terrifying, it’s relatively weak since it’s just been born. Its talents need time to be fulfilled.”

“I’ve been in the late term of Foundation Establishment for some time now. With my numerous treasures, my overall strength should not be lesser than quasi-Core Formers and even average Core Formation Cultivators. I can also constantly understand and control the state and thoughts of the Evil Spirit. There should be no problem controlling it during the breeding process.”

“Most importantly, no matter how astonishing the growth speed of a disaster-level Evil Spirit, it is still weaker compared to my Light Cluster.”

Although the idea of breeding a disaster-level Evil Spirit sounds terrifying, Lu Xuan was fully confident that he could make it completely subservient.

“First, let’s bring a couple of lower-ranked demonic beasts and test the current strength of the Spirit of Flesh.”

Thinking this, Lu Xuan settled the meatball in the Underworld Court and trapped it using the Illusion and Disappearance Five Elements Array.

Then, he went to the Qingshi Square beneath the giant sword and bought two demonic beasts from the Loose Cultivators’ stalls. One was a First-grade Red Flame Eagle, and the other, a Second-grade Silver Wind Leopard.

Returning to the Underworld Court, he released the two demonic beasts.

The gloom in the small courtyard was far too thick, mixed with wandering resentful spirits and burgeoning flesh and blood. As soon as the two demon beasts landed on the ground, they each felt intense fear, continuously growling in discomfort.

The Red Flame Eagle shot into the sky, trying to escape from above the yard. However, it was firmly blocked by the formation and could only hover at a low altitude within the courtyard.

“Go, devour them.”

Lu Xuan pointed towards the two demon beasts hiding in the corner of the courtyard, directing the large flesh ball..

The flesh of the Spirit of Flesh undulated revealing numerous ferocious splits, from which a tremendous sucking force emanated.

The suction seemed to only affect flesh and blood. Lu Xuan, sensing the minor surge of his blood returning to stability within his body, looked around at the many spirit plants in the courtyard. They showed no abnormalities. However, the two demon beasts reacted as though they’d encountered something terrifying, each ardently attempting to breach the formation’s confinement.

The Red Flame Eagle in the sky, which was the first to react strangely. Its body, its wings, its flesh, were pulsating continuously as if trying to break free. After a few breaths, with a bang, the whole demon beast turned into a cloud of blood mist. In an instant, it coalesced into a blood arrow, merging into the large flesh ball.

The spectacle made the Second Grade Silver Wind Leopard even more panicked, responding with a growl that was half fright and half threatening. Its spiritual power surged, summoning a sizable wind wall in front of itself in a desperate attempt to block the monster’s terrifying suction power from the Spirit of the Flesh.

From behind the wind wall, more than a dozen wind blades roared out, heading towards the large flesh ball.

The large meat ball remained unmoved, as the wind blades got closer, a mist of blood emerged from the surface, the wind blades shattered silently after making contact , disappearing into nothingness.

The Silver Wind Leopard of the Second Grade clung on for a few times longer than the Red Flame Eagle,his body and flesh quietly crumbled, turning into blood mist and merged into the flesh ball.

The skeletons of the two demon beasts scattered in the courtyard, completely clean, without a trace of flesh left.

“Being able to deal with a Second-grade demon beast quickly after being born, not bad at all.”

Lu Xuan observed that the Spirit of Flesh expended a lot of energy dealing with the Silver Wind Leopard. But for a newborn, having such strength is pretty impressive.

“It probably has the strength of a high-tier Qi cultivator, still has ways to go to reach Foundation Establishment cultivators.”

“However, considering the rate of growth of disaster-level evil spirits, it might not take too much time.”

He thought to himself.

“Pity, there’s no evil spirit plant like Thorn Bone in the courtyard, and the skeletons of the demon beasts can’t be properly cleaned up either.”

Lu Xuan sighed inwardly, deciding to find an opportunity to get a similar Underworld Spiritual Plant.

“Moreover, the Flesh Spirit has a strong contamination ability that can infect and transform surrounding creatures. But these plants in the courtyard are basically not normal spirit plants, so they wouldn’t mind being infected.”

“Also, the Flesh Spirit is still weak, causing the transformation of spirit plants to be lengthy process, so there’s no need to worry about that now.”

While thinking these things, he left a Fourth Grade Demon Beast corpse, instructed the flesh ball:

“I will be leaving for a while, during this time you need to stay quietly in this courtyard and don’t try to leave.”

“The Fourth Grade Demon Beast’s corpse would be enough for you to eat for quite a long time, when I come next time, I will give you fresh demon beast meat.”

“In the courtyard there are two kinds of spiritual plants that also need the nourishment of demon beast meat, but the meat around their roots and stems is rotten and has changed. It’s not good to eat.”

“Don’t try to sneak off and eat that meat. If I find out, I won’t take it kindly.”

Lu Xuan pointed to the Strange Longevity Peach and the Thousand Worm Hands in the courtyard and warned the flesh ball.
