Wang Xiaoqiang felt a fishy wind assault his face, making him want to vomit. He immediately activated his will, and the Demon Droplet flew out from the Sumeru Ring. Before the dragon's mouth could bite down, it whooshed into the dragon's mouth, quickly penetrating into the body cavity of the Eight-Armed Demon Dragon, like a worm burrowing into its heart, and then spun rapidly like a wind wheel...

The body of the Eight-Armed Demon Dragon trembled, then shook violently; its heart had been smashed to bits.

The Demon Droplet had the effect of disturbing Divine Sense, and since it was fast and emerged close to the mouth of the Eight-Armed Demon Dragon, it wasn't noticed, even under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

The scene before them bewildered everyone. They all initially thought Wang Xiaoqiang would be swallowed into the belly of the Eight-Armed Demon Dragon, but unexpectedly, the dragon's head paused, stopping its devouring, and its body trembled, looking extremely pained.

While everyone was engulfed in surprise and confusion, Wang Xiaoqiang raised the War God Hammer in his hand and smashed it onto the dragon's head with a boom, forcibly driving the head into its body cavity,

As Wang Xiaoqiang's hammer struck, the demonic energy of the Eight-Armed Demon Dragon scattered chaotically.

Complete collapse!

"Ugh—" The strange cry of the Eight-Armed Demon Dragon came from within its body cavity, sounding somewhat muffled, tinged with despair and peculiar, causing those who heard it to get goosebumps all over.

The Eight-Armed Demon Dragon's heart was shattered, its skull cracked, and its demonic energy dissipated, with the energy from its eight arms also scattering away. It was at the end of its strength, utterly spent.

Wang Xiaoqiang took out the Penglai Immortal Sword, swiftly slicing off all eight arms that had lost their demonic energy, then with a thought, the Demon Droplet flew out from the dragon's body cavity, silently returning to the Sumeru Ring...

With another thought, Wang Xiaoqiang summoned the Patterned Beast to pounce forward, knocking the dragon's body to the ground and then devouring it with relish...

Everyone was shocked to see this scene!

The transformation was too drastic!!

Everyone initially thought Wang Xiaoqiang was doomed, certain to be swallowed by the Eight-Armed Demon Dragon, but unexpectedly, Wang Xiaoqiang won, and the dragon became a feast for his pet beast.

Defeated soldiers flee, an eternal truth.

After witnessing this, the Demon Army panicked, disorderedly fleeing in terror.

The soldiers of the Human Clan, however, were greatly invigorated, vigorously pursuing and attacking the fleeing demon cultivators.

Suddenly lifting his head, Wang Xiaoqiang looked toward Zuo Qinglian in the sky. As he saw Zuo Qinglian's lotus-like graceful figure, Wang Xiaoqiang revealed an amused smile. Zuo Qinglian shuddered and, without the slightest hesitation, fled into the distant sky.

"Demoness, don't let me see you again, or I'll definitely pin you beneath me and ravish you fiercely! Haha~~~" Wang Xiaoqiang laughed triumphantly at Zuo Qinglian flying away in the sky.

Fleeing frantically, Zuo Qinglian's pretty face blushed red with shame and anger, yet she also felt a wave of relief. Getting rid of Li'an, who persistently pestered her endlessly, was a relief. Now that he was killed by that Human Clan Marshal, she felt like she had to thank him!

But upon hearing Wang Xiaoqiang's arrogant words, she was both annoyed and intrigued by this Human Clan Marshal. Zuo Qinglian, being a strong woman in the Demon Sect, was used to those male demon cultivators who coveted her beauty groveling before her, but had never encountered someone as direct and crude as Wang Xiaoqiang.

No sooner had Wang Xiaoqiang withdrawn his gaze from the sky than a terrible strange cry came from beside him,

His heart skipped a beat, fearing that the Eight-Armed Demon Dragon had resurrected. As he turned to look, he discovered that the strange cry came from the Patterned Beast,

By this time, the Patterned Beast had completely devoured the Eight-Armed Demon Dragon's body. However, this time, unlike the usual satisfied and content cries after devouring something,

It appeared extremely pained, continuously emitting strange cries. As Wang Xiaoqiang watched, it rolled on the ground...

Wang Xiaoqiang immediately established a mental connection with it and quickly learned that after devouring the dragon, the demonic energy within the Eight-Armed Demon Dragon was rampaging through its body... Its body was being catalyzed by that demonic energy, seemingly on the verge of mutation.

Uncertain of the situation, Wang Xiaoqiang immediately summoned Sai Ya and Jiang Yingxue from the Sumeru Ring,

As Sai Ya emerged from the Ring Space, Wang Xiaoqiang grabbed her fragrant shoulder, demanding urgently, "Quick, tell me, how could my pet beast mutate after devouring a demon cultivator?"

"It shouldn't be..." Sai Ya, seeing Wang Xiaoqiang's agitation, dared not deceive him and nervously explained:

"Before demonization, demon cultivators are no different from the Human Clan physically. Actually, demon cultivators are also part of the Human Clan, just that their thoughts and behaviors differ from the Human Clan after cultivating extreme Demon Path spells, but essentially there's no difference..."

As Wang Xiaoqiang listened to the Patterned Beast's strange and somewhat painful cries, he grew anxious, slightly tightening his grip on Sai Ya's shoulder, asking fiercely, "Then what's with demon cultivators demonizing, turning into demon monsters?"

"Well... demonization is actually a bizarre Demon Path spell. Without cultivating it, they naturally wouldn't demonize..."

Sai Ya glanced at the Patterned Beast on the ground and said, "Could it be that your pet beast devoured a demonized cultivator?..."

"Indeed, my pet beast did devour a demonized cultivator that turned into an Eight-Armed Demon Dragon..." Wang Xiaoqiang replied.

"In that case, it would undergo mutation..." Sai Ya explained: "When demon cultivators face life threats, they can demonize to transform into demon monsters to protect themselves. However, after defeating the opponent, these demon monsters can revert back to demon cultivators. So, their bodies are filled with unstable demonic energy, containing mutative factors...

If another beast were to devour it at this time, the mutative factors within the demonic energy could take effect within the devouring beast, causing it to mutate..."

"What will it mutate into?" Wang Xiaoqiang anxiously demanded,

The Patterned Beast was his pet, loyal and protective, following him faithfully for so long. There was an emotional bond between master and pet. He feared that the Patterned Beast would mutate into something ugly and hideous, no longer loyal as before.

"Well... I don't know. Different beasts will mutate differently, whether into demon beasts, spirit beasts, or divine beasts... Their ranks vary, so the mutations differ as well... I've only heard about it, never seen it personally..." Sai Ya uneasily admitted.

Wang Xiaoqiang knew from her expression that Sai Ya wasn't lying, so he released her and looked around, demanding, "Where's Sai Jun, where is Sai Jun?"

Cheng Jin pushed Sai Jun forward, and as Wang Xiaoqiang shifted his gaze to Sai Jun, ready to question him, a surge of demonic energy rose from the Patterned Beast's body, enveloping it completely, with the demonic energy constantly churning, twisting, expanding, and growing... eerie and terrifying cries emanating from within.
