Li Xiaobai was somewhat dumbfounded as he looked at the person before him, having previously speculated about the terrifying figure that might dwell on this level, but he could never have dreamed that the one who devoured Demonic Beasts would actually be a little girl.
She even looked rather cute, which was quite a contrast.
âUncleâs name is Li Xiaobai, just here to experience life, happened to pass by the fourth level, whatâs your name, little sister?â
Li Xiaobai spoke earnestly, judging from her words she didnât seem like Elder Tong but rather like a young girl who considered herself a baby.
She must be a descendant of some Demon Race, since only a powerful demonic creature could be so ferocious at such a young age.
However, the little girl showed no sign of compliance, and a look of disdain that was uncharacteristic for her age appeared on her face.
âNoisy, I am a descendant of the moon. You dared to trespass on my territory, I shall devour you alive!â
âFerociousâ bared her teeth and snarled, filled with the intent to attack.
âEating Demonic Beasts raw is not a good habit; itâs too barbaric, a bad practice that must be changed!â
Li Xiaobai said seriously, as if he truly regarded her as a child, conscientiously educating her.
âDo not provoke me, Iâm super ferocious. Leave one hand behind, and you may go!â
âFerociousâ said vehemently. She was not foolish, knowing that someone who could make it to the fifth level was not a simple foe, not someone easy to deal with. If possible, she didnât want a fight to the death, simply to regain some face and make the other party submit would suffice.
âEducation should start from a young age; youâre so savage and brutal even at such a small size, immediately threatening to take lives. It seems that no one has ever taught you the principles of living in society. Well then, today uncle will take on the hardship and teach you how to be a proper person!â
Li Xiaobai stood with his hands behind his back, shook his head lightly and spoke indifferently.
âDamn it, looking for a beating!â
âFerociousâ eyes sparkled with a strange light. Her small body, like an arrow released from the bowstring, charged at Li Xiaobai, her wide mouth revealing rows of small hard teeth as she fiercely bit down toward Li Xiaobaiâs throat.
Her mouth was surprisingly huge; when opened, it stretched to her ears, covering most of her face, looking incredibly fierce.

The little cute creature perched on Li Xiaobaiâs shoulder, gnawing at his throat, sparks flying everywhere, but unfortunately, it did not cause any substantive damage.
âHow come your body is so tough; could it be that youâre not human?â
âFerociousâ paused her gnawing and looked at Li Xiaobai with some confusion. Her mouthful of sharp teeth could even pierce the tough scales of the Dragon Race, but on this manâs throat, not even a mark had been left. The strength of his body far exceeded her imagination.
âYouâre the one whoâs not human, your whole family isnât human. Iâm a genuine member of the human race, a real tough guy.â
Li Xiaobaiâs complexion darkened as he reached out and peeled off the little cute creature from his shoulder. Her attack power was indeed noteworthy, but it wasnât much higher than âPoor.â It was just that her ferocity was too great, and any prey that fell into her hands would be torn to pieces, which was the most primal nature of a Demonic Beast.
âHeh, so you really are a human!â
âI didnât expect there to be such a strong individual among the human race, with a body tougher than Spiritual Artifacts or Magic Treasures. But in front of me, youâre still nothing. I can swallow all the treasures and creatures in the world.â
âItâs been a long time since Iâve tasted human flesh. Todayâs a good day to feast on you!â
âYellow Springs Verdant Fall Divine Skill!â
âFerociousâ looked grim as she kicked the corpse of a nearby sea lion away, sat squatting on the ground, shook her head, and her mouth cracked open into an immense maw once again. But this time, her mouth transformed into an unfathomable black hole that emitted endless attractive force, as if wanting to suck in everything within this level.
Meanwhile, Li Xiaobai just felt a chilling wind by his ears and heard the wailing of ghosts, as if countless lost souls were lamenting the injustice they had suffered.
Before his eyes, an eerie river appeared out of nowhere, along with a suspended bridge that emitted endless demonic power, as if it were beckoning Li Xiaobai to walk to its end.

Such a technique was indeed somewhat interesting, but because his cultivation level was suppressed, this little critter could only exert one or two percent of its strength. Even so, it was still considerable.
Transforming into a gaping maw that became a black hole, using the Illusionary Realm to bewilder the minds, luring creatures to walk to the end of the bridge, and willingly enter her mouth, it was indeed a clever trick.
However, it was still of no use to him.
âKid, donât think you can fool everyone by pretending to be calm. My illusions can hook the sins in peopleâs hearts. No matter how strong you are, as long as youâve killed, as long as you harbor guilt and a sense of sin, you canât maintain your composure!â
âIâm going to show you what true fear is, let you see what Hell looks like!â
âYellow Springs Verdant Fall!â
âLetheâs Despair!â
âDevouring Heaven!â
âFerociousâ bellowed with its voice full of intensity, emanating a peculiar purple-black aura. The illusions before Li Xiaobai became even more realistic, atop the bridge he could even see processions of Ghostly Soldiers carrying a palanquin, rushing towards the Yellow Springs.
The souls of those he had killed in the past were now emerging one after another from the Underground World, entangling him, but their resentment was automatically blocked by the System. Li Xiaobai could see these phantasms, yet he felt no threat at all.
âThese are the souls of those you killed in the past, they will pierce through your chest, and pluck out your heart!â
âFerociousâ said with a chilling tone.
Entangled by these souls, Li Xiaobai felt an annoyance in his heart. With a thought, a huge blood-colored heart suddenly appeared behind him.
âHeart of the Blood Demon!â
Huge blood-colored tentacles spread out from the heart, densely woven together, covering the entire fourth layer in the blink of an eye.
âDead men should cease their haunts!â
âI crushed you in life, do you still think to make trouble after death?â
Li Xiaobai waved his hand, and the huge heart behind him throbbed violently, then countless blood-colored tentacles burst out from the ground, piercing the ghostly figures into pieces. The surrounding Illusionary Realm shattered under the fierce onslaught of the blood tentacles.
This was the first time he used the power of the Heart of the Blood Demon, and the effect was quite good. The method was similar to that of the Blood Demon Transcendental Venerable he had seen before, both commanding tentacles to attack and devour the power within enemiesâ bodies.
âWhat is this?â
âHow could you have such a thing, whatâs the deal with that heart?â
âHow could a human have such tricks?â
âFerociousâ lost her color in shock, screaming frantically as she scurried about wildly. The heart which seemed to have been soaked in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood made her scalp tingle. But soon she realized that the walls of the entire fourth layer were covered in those blood-colored tentacles, forming a blood-red cage, and she had become a wild beast trapped inside.
âWerenât you going to dig out my heart? Why are you scared now?â
Watching the little critterâs panicked face, Li Xiaobai smiled nonchalantly.
âNo need to dig, Iâll just bring it out for you.â
