The battlefield was ravaged, with charred marks from lightning strikes and deep, bottomless pits everywhere.
Fortunately, as the fat man and Tang Haofei settled their battle, the once earth-shattering sounds of fighting subsided, returning the area to its usual silence.
The Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine in Wen Yu's right hand slowly elongated, then spontaneously coiled around the body of the deceased fat man. Wen Yu felt a continuous influx of origin power from the Immortal Heroic World entering his body.
“He is a divine beast species!”
Tang Haofei, standing nearby, seemed to sense what Wen Yu was about to do. His bloodied mouth opened, and he mumbled this incoherent remark.
“Mm.”
Wen Yu nodded.
There was indeed a considerable amount of origin power from the Immortal Heroic World contained within the fat man's body, making it undoubtedly a divine beast species. However, whether the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine absorbed the origin power from the Immortal Heroic World or the flesh and blood of the demonic clan to enhance physical limits, there would be a conversion ratio involved.
The energy loss was significant—just the origin power that a divine beast species could provide wasn't enough to compensate for the void of origin power within Wen Yu's body.
Moreover, using the soul battlefield wouldn't leave behind a corpse...
Looking at it this way, replenishing origin power and evolving into a divine beast species from the Immortal Heroic World would still need to rely on Tang Haofei.
With this thought, Wen Yu raised his head to assess Tang Haofei's condition once more.
Disgusting flesh buds bulged out, and the wounds had already formed grotesque scabs. Although Tang Haofei still appeared in a near-death state, his eyes and the fluidity of his speech indicated that within just a few minutes, old Tang's injuries had transitioned from "dying" to "critical care."
Massive energy fluctuations and a violent aura surged into the sky. Severely injured, Tang Haofei struggled to control his own momentum and the energy fluctuations within him. However, from the current situation, this was actually a good thing—within this hunting ground, Wen Yu and Tang Haofei not only needed to contend with the hostility of the natives from the Immortal Heroic World but also the attacks from the demonic clan!
Showing fangs and blades at the right time would help avoid conflict—Wen Yu's soul battlefield was far from being an evident constraint against the demonic creatures.
The information relayed back from Victor's dual body confirmed Wen Yu's suspicions.
“Big boss, those demonic creatures have been standing still since the battle started here!”
The so-called “demonic creatures” were precisely the patrol squad from the demonic clan that Wen Yu had encountered. When the battle broke out, Wen Yu had already sent Victor's dual body to monitor the movements of this demonic squad.
Wen Yu didn't know what these demonic creatures were thinking, but judging from their current behavior, it was clear that this patrol squad had certain plans.
This suited Wen Yu perfectly.
Once Tang Haofei healed, Wen Yu would immediately take him to capture this demonic squad—if he couldn’t gain benefits as the young master, then he would claim them with his own strength!
In this demonic clan occupied area, the walking demonic creatures and the natives from the Immortal Heroic World were all sources of enhanced physical limits and origin power!
...
The fat man's body visibly shriveled, and once the origin power within him was completely absorbed, the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine slowly retracted its vines, returning to Wen Yu's right hand.
“What a pity, sigh, what a pity... He was a worthy opponent...”
Tang Haofei, still nursing his injuries, sighed softly at the sight of the fat man’s disfigured corpse, prompting a scoff from Wen Yu.
“Seems like you’re putting on quite the act; you were the one who killed him!”
“I had no choice but to kill him…”
“Actually, he knew he couldn't escape this time. At the very end, that guy held back a bit; otherwise, I really would have died.”
