Chapter 5 - 3: The Hegemon of the Insect Field_2When Bai Yan consumed the fiftieth Demon Egg, he was already able to crush the hard shell of the Demon Egg in just two or three bites. When Bai Yan consumed the sixtieth Demon Egg... "Crack~!" There was a noise from the distance, and a Demon Egg began to crack, a new Demon Larva was about to be born! Bai Yan's action of gnawing at the Demon Egg suddenly stiffened, a sense of threat surged from his heart, sending shivers down his spine. The thing he most feared had finally happened, a new Demon Larva was born! He never forgot the warning from the Abyss Will deep in his memory: "During the initial period of their life, every Demon Larva is a mortal enemy to each other! There is no mercy or friendship among them, only slaughter and death!" Demon Larva, are natural enemies of each other! Either I die, becoming its food. Or it dies, becoming my food. This is the Abyss, there are no kinship among the same kind, only endless killing and evolution! "Swish!" Bai Yan didn't need to think, his eyes red, his insect body frantically twisting, he quickly crawled to the side of the newborn Demon Larva, which had just emerged from the shell. "Roar!" A terrifying roar inexplicably burst from Bai Yan's mouth, the poor newborn larva hadn't even reacted before Bai Yan fiercely bit down. Bai Yan's powerful physical strength, driven by sharp teeth, split the pitiful creature into two. Kill! Eat! Everything, all for survival! However, before Bai Yan could enjoy the joy of an overwhelming victory, at this moment... "Crack~!" "Crack~!" A dense sound arose, more Demon Eggs began to crack! All the Demon Larva began to hatch at the same time! seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. A fear derived from intense psychological pressure, filled Bai Yan's heart. For a moment, Bai Yan felt desperate, after all, half of his soul was still that of a normal living human, he had human weaknesses. What to do! So many enemies have been born! What should I do! No one could understand Bai Yan's fear and helplessness at this moment, it was unrelated to strength, he was just a normal human, yet he was about to face a brutal test of life and death. Under great mental pressure, people usually have two reactions. One is to completely collapse. The other is to face the difficulty. And Bai Yan was undoubtedly the latter, his stubborn resilience deep in his bones surpassed everyone's imagination. "If I can't escape, then eat!" Bai Yan gritted his teeth in his heart: "I've already eaten sixty eggs, how could I be afraid of you bunch of insects?!" "Squeak!" A Demon Larva was born next to Bai Yan, sensing his presence, it rushed towards him as if facing a mortal enemy! It thinks to eat me! How foolish! "Hmph!" If Bai Yan had eyes right now, they would definitely be filled with blood-red murderous intent! He twisted his insect body, revealing his sharp, ghastly white fine teeth, and Bai Yan's mouth fiercely bit down on the body of this Demon Larva. "Crack~!" Blood, darkening to black, splattered out, and this Demon Larva was undoubtedly instant-killed by Bai Yan. A newborn Demon Larva, how could it compare with the big brother Bai Yan? I'm the man who has eaten sixty eggs! "Squeak~!" The sharp sound of insect cries surged back and forth. The entire Nether River riverside had plunged into a massive slaughter! Countless Demon Larvae were engaged in battles everywhere, the victors devouring the flesh and basking in the sensation of strength! Then, they continued on to the next fight! It seemed as if instinct was driving them to attack their kind relentlessly. Bai Yan didn't know whether these Demon Larvae possessed thought and intelligence, but it no longer mattered. At this moment, Bai Yan felt like he was the supreme ruler of the Insect Field, easily annihilating these Demon Larvae wherever he went! However, Bai Yan was also cautious; he deliberately displayed only slightly more strength than these Demon Larvae, skirting the perimeter of the slaughter and indulging in his own gluttonous feast. Whether these Demon Larvae had intelligence or not, it was always correct to be cautious; at the minimum, there was no risk of being surrounded and attacked. The Abyss plane had no place for cowardice or meekness, nor was it scorned for treachery and baseness; here, there was only life and death... The slaughter had reached the pinnacle of purity! If you don't live, you die! If you don't die, you live! Slaughter played out across this territory; numerous larvae died, the victors devouring the flesh of the fallen and continuously strengthening themselves. The number of Demon Larvae began to decrease rapidly, and through the great melee, Bai Yan continuously honed his killing techniques, his enormous insect body becoming more adeptly controlled. Under the great terror of life and death, Bai Yan learned swiftly. Moreover, he could feel something called murderous intent growing inside him! This was an almost tangible aura! His mortal heart was becoming increasingly bloodthirsty. In Bai Yan's soul, the other side of his demonic nature began to slowly awaken! Slaughter, devour, then evolve! The rate at which these Demon Larvae were being eliminated was much faster than when Bai Yan was slowly nibbling away alone. When Bai Yan had eaten about a hundred of them, there were few Demon Larvae left on the field. The remaining Demon Larvae, each bulky and sharp-toothed, were wary of each other. They seemed to possess a primitive intelligence, as these Demon Larvae all showed signs of attacking and being vigilant towards Bai Yan. After all, Bai Yan seemed the strongest among them. The weaker might collaborate to attack the stronger; this too was an instinct of living beings. "A bunch of stupid bugs, want to gang up on me?" Bai Yan sneered, contemptuously. He twisted his enormous insect body and turned to run... Indeed, Bai Yan ran! He didn't want to stay and be surrounded by these creatures; he was already the biggest beneficiary of this slaughter, having consumed more than anyone. Rather than staying and continuing to risk possible death, it was better to flee and properly digest the demonic energy within his body. Constantly growing stronger isn't just about brute strength; strategic retreats are also very effective. Besides, Bai Yan had a vague feeling that he was about to evolve! This was another major factor that prompted Bai Yan to leave. As Bai Yan left, it was as if a pressure had been lifted, and the group of Demon Larvae plunged into a new round of slaughter. Bai Yan left the riverside, but he didn't dare wander too far. The Nether River possessed a mysterious energy that repelled higher-level Demons, preventing them from approaching and protecting the early growth of the Demon Larvae. If he strayed too far from the river, Bai Yan couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't encounter a high-level Demon and get swallowed in one gulp. Bai Yan found a pile of sand and gravel and buried his enormous insect body in it. Just as he had hidden himself, the System's notification sound rang out: "Ding! Host has gained new evolution points, do you choose to evolve!" "Evolve!" Bai Yan confirmed in his heart. Once this evolution ends, I'll return to the Main Plane and rest for a while! Bai Yan breathed a sigh of relief; the continuous, relentless slaughter had left his spirit somewhat exhausted. He urgently needed to return to the Main Plane to adjust his mentality, and he also wanted to see if it was as the System had said. His body in the Main Plane could also possess all the talents and strengths of a Demon!
