Heaven Devouring Beast
Fresh blood spewed out from the mouths of the three men and splattered everywhere on the ground,
forming the shape of a round disc.
Simultaneously, they had one of their arms broken off. The excruciating pain left their faces contorted
into an ugly scowl.
Blood gushed out from their broken arm, and they rhythmically portrayed it into a pattern.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, the ground under their feet began to shake. Layers after layers of thick fog began to rise,
and as they faded into the sky, a humongous silhouette appeared before Jared.
“What the hell is this?” Jared involuntarily took a deep breath and gulped.
The gigantic beast was several meters tall and had an especially odd appearance with its razor-sharp
fangs sticking out of its mouth. No one could tell what animal it was.
Sniffing the blood splattered on the ground, it opened its mouth and gobbled one of the three black-
clothed men without hesitation.
Scared senseless by the horrifying scene, the other two stood rooted on the spot, paralyzed.
All they could do was watch each other getting devoured by that beast.
Only then did Jared fully understand what Ichiro had meant by the word “offering”—the latter wanted
the trio to sacrifice their lives to lure that monstrous animal out to deal with him.
“You’ve made me summon the Heaven Devouring Beast out. I’ll spare you no mercy today…” Ichiro
clenched his jaws in fury.
He knew well that even if he managed to kill Jared and the others, he would still receive punishment
when he returned for having sacrificed the lives of the three priests of the Watanabe family.
Even as the young master of the family, there was no way he would be able to escape the punishment
awaiting him.
Nonetheless, that was not Ichiro’s top priority for now. At that moment, there was only one thought in
his mind—to send Jared to hell.
Roar…
Despite having swallowed the three cloaked men, the Heaven Devouring Beast fixed its bloodshot eyes
on Jared, seemingly as if it had yet eaten anything.
Jared’s expression darkened at once. His frown deepened as he stared intently at the Heaven
Devouring Beast right before his eyes.
It seems like this is a Fifth Level Heaven Devouring Beast. I’m afraid it’ll be quite a challenge to deal
with it.
One had to note that such beasts were very different from martial artists. Those beasts were so much
more powerful, be it in terms of strength or toughness.
A Fifth Level Beast versus a Fifth Level Martial Arts Grandmaster—the winner would be the former
without a doubt.
The golden hue surrounding Jared continued glistening as he maximized the potential of his Golem
Body. Faced with such a giant ferocious creature, he dared not act too recklessly.
“Roar…” With an ear-splitting roar, the Heaven Devouring Beast swiftly pounced toward Jared.
With the speed of lightning, it appeared right before the man. He hesitated no further to slash his
Dragonslayer Sword out, which landed straight on the beast’s thigh.
Sparks ignited from friction spouted into the atmosphere. Jared failed to inflict harm on the Heaven
Devouring Beast with his strike. On the contrary, the beast managed to send a heavy smack on the
man’s chest.
At that, he was instantly sent crashing into a huge tree not far away.
The man’s brows scrunched up as he rubbed his chest.
Had he not had the protection of his Golem Body, he would have been mangled into pulp in the attack
a few seconds ago.
Seeing how Jared had no chance to retaliate in front of the Heaven Devouring Beast, Ichiro was so
thrilled that he yelled, “Devour him! Devour him whole!”
“Roar!” The Heaven Devouring Beast charged toward Jared again.
Recognizing the situation, he no longer had the guts to persist in the confrontation. Instead, he
concentrated his spiritual energy at his feet and tried his best to keep pace with the beast.
But given its speed and unyielding pursuit, Jared knew he would eventually exhaust the spiritual energy
in his body if that went on.
By then, he might really become the Heaven Devouring Beast’s meal.
While anxiousness started to well up in Jared’s chest, a white figure swept past his eyes. Then, the
beast’s agonizing squeals reverberated through the air.
Jared hastily stopped and turned around to look. Yet, that one look had left him stumped.
