This turn of events had been too sudden, so the Taixu Sage Master and the others were not in time to stop it.

They had just rushed up to hear the anguished wails of the Dragon Slaver Lord and the others. In front of their very eyes, the Ghostly Emperor was starting to expand at a fearsome rate, like a demon. He seemed to explode outwards, becoming a gigantic, strange beast. The enormous beast had neither head nor tail, nor any limbs. All it had was a huge maw. The appearance of this huge beast continued to morph, as though it were an oversized cicada.

However, the huge beast only revealed its form for a moment. In that moment, a powerful suction was generated in its mouth. The Hell Emperor, sect leaders, and ghostly sages were all bathed in white light and then swallowed by the huge beast in a flash!

The huge beast's devouring was a success!

At this time, the huge beast was continuously shrinking, even while white light continued to shoot out of its body. It was blinding. Amidst the white light, its body shape continued to change. Occasionally, it would emit some strange noises - happy, satisfied sounds of a beast that had finished gorging.

Without question,...
