Chapter 866: Chapter 808: The Main Characteristic Is Being Able to Eat

Northwest of Golden Scale Slope, barren woods.

The rustling sound emanated from beneath a thick layer of Golden Leaves on the ground. After a while, the leaves arched upward and separated, revealing a small beast. It raised its nose, yawned, shook its head, twisted its body to shake off the dust, and sat down, scratching its belly with its hind legs.

Eating, drinking, and sleeping soundly — the greatest pleasures in a demon’s life.

Finally, she got to eat other demons. Jiang Yuebai found the Golden Demon tasted coarse, the Wood Demon was tough and crisp, the Water Demon was cold and sweet, the Fire Demon was fiery hot, and the Earth Demon was thick but a bit fishy. The branch demons below these five great clans only had subtle taste differences.

Among them, the Sea Demon was the tastiest, a luscious green, crisp and sweet.

The fiery Fire Demon could suppress the fishy taste of the Earth Demon, leaving only a chewy texture.

She hadn’t encountered Wind, Thunder, and Ice Demons yet, so didn’t know their taste.

It was strange, after devouring so many demons, her stomach was still hungry. Most of the Demonic Qi was consumed by her Demon Heart. Her Lotus Demon Heart seemed like an insatiable abyss, only taking in without releasing.

While the Demon Clan cultivates the Demon Heart, she still felt a bit displeased by the sensation of having food stolen, which made her appetite surge again, desiring to eat more.

Jiang Yuebai surveyed her surroundings, her view overtaken by golden hues. The trees here were peculiar, threaded with golden silk, growing Golden Leaves, blossoming golden flowers, bearing solid golden fruits that hurt when they hit the head.

It is said that gold is valuable among mortals of the Human Clan, and a Golden Leaf here could buy a large mansion.

Unfortunately, this pure gold is useless in the Demon Realm; the ground was littered with them, and no demons bothered to gather them.

Jiang Yuebai lowered her head, picked up a Golden Leaf with her mouth, took a bite, then turned her head to spit it out — not tasty!

At 11:00 AM, the blazing sunlight illuminated the woods. A gentle breeze blew, making the entire canopy shimmer with golden light, dazzling to the eyes.

Above the Demon Realm, there were six blazing suns of different colors. Strictly speaking, they shouldn’t be called ’suns’ because, regardless of day or night, the six blazing suns hang above the Demon Realm. They serve as ’suns’ during the day and ’moons’ at night.

They symbolize the Six Great Heavenly Demons of the Demon Realm, equivalent to the Mahayana Immortal Monarchs of the Human Clan.

The Six Great Heavenly Demons belong respectively to the Gold, Wood, Fire, Earth, Wind, and Thunder Departments, while the Water and Ice Departments lack Heavenly Demons, making them the weakest among the Eight Great Clans of the Demon Clan.

Whether it’s the Human Clan, Demon Clan, or Demon Clan, there is an unspoken rule that front line battles are fought by Cultivators below Divinity Transformation.

The Refining Void, Integration, and Mahayana realms are the pinnacle of cultivation. Unless absolutely necessary, they almost never intervene directly.

In some extremely significant battles, Refining Void, Integration Cultivators, and the Demon Clan’s King Demons and Emperor Demons engage in combat in the outer void.

Just like during the Battle of the Heavenly Spear Realm, which started due to the Fire Qilin’s Tribulation Crossing, involving Refining Void Cultivators, leading to the destruction of countless small realms around the Heavenly Spear Realm, with immense loss of life.

Mahayana Immortal Monarchs and Heavenly Demons absolutely do not participate directly in battles.

Their presence primarily serves as deterrents. If Mahayana finally takes action, the entire Upper Realm of the Human Clan, the Demon Realm, and the Demon Realm might face annihilation under Mahayana’s power.

That would be the true Heavenly Calamity, a cataclysmic disaster.

Jiang Yuebai determined the direction to the Water Demon Tribe and set off again. After taking just two steps, she suddenly turned her head, catching a glimpse of her surroundings from the corner of her eye.

She chuckled inwardly, dug into the thick Golden Leaves beneath her feet, and vanished within.

After Jiang Yuebai disappeared, a full quarter-hour passed before a green mist cautiously approached from afar. It blinked behind a tree on the left, peeked with one eye, then blinked behind a tree on the right, again peeking with just one eye, scanning everything above, below, and all around.

This demon was the very Fog Demon at the Primordial Demon realm who had previously been frightened away by Jiang Yuebai, thus avoiding being ’wrapped up like a dumpling.’

He looked around for a long time but couldn’t find any trace of Jiang Yuebai. The mist surrounding him gradually contracted inward, reshaping into a hovering, legless humanoid figure draped in a tattered green robe.

Green mist swirled around him, with only a pair of blood-red eyes on his face, lacking any other facial features.

He raised his hand to scratch his head, full of confusion.

At that moment, the Golden Leaves beneath him suddenly exploded open, and the human-shaped Jiang Yuebai emerged mid-air, delivering a palm strike towards the Fog Demon.

The Fog Demon was horror-struck, his body suddenly dispersed, swiftly reconstituting in the distance to just barely evade Jiang Yuebai’s palm strike.

Jiang Yuebai furrowed her brows slightly, feeling vaguely that she had seen the Fog Demon’s movement technique somewhere before. But she didn’t dwell on it, her hunger spurred her to strike again.

"Wait! I have important matters to tell you!"

The Fog Demon shouted in terror, Jiang Yuebai’s hand stopping just before him, the gentle palm wind causing the green mist to drift backward around his head.

Gulp!

The Fog Demon swallowed hard, fearfully immobile, watching Jiang Yuebai retract her palm and slowly approach him, sniffing.

Inhale~

Jiang Yuebai frowned again, "There’s something off about your scent, the Demonic Qi isn’t pure. It seems diluted with water, and it has a hint of... hmm... is it the scent of blood?"

The Fog Demon shivered, dispersed his body again to retreat and reconsolidate farther away.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuebai was able to detect the anomalies in his aura. In reality, he wasn’t a true demon but a Ghost Cultivator who once engaged in Demon Cultivation before dying, now living as a ghost.

As a top spy for the Nine Great Star Alliances, he infiltrated the Demon Realm, providing intelligence on the Demon Realm for the Human Clan.

Initially promised to return after a century of lurking, yet...

Century upon century, and century upon century, it has been nearly three hundred years now. It’s clear they’re taking advantage of the fact that ghosts don’t die. But even if ghosts don’t die, their hearts can still get weary.

By now, he’s become a prized War General of the Fog Demon Tribe, being trusted with significant responsibilities by the Fog Demon Lord. If this continues, he might climb the walls!

This time, he retreated with the demon army from the frontline battlefield and received a new assignment from Immortal Monarch Fatian.

To receive the new spy infiltrating the Demon Realm!

This offered him hope; if he could train this new spy well, he surely could return to the Human Clan and live the normal ghost life he should have been living, no longer fearing for his life, no longer with his head in his waistband.

But the assignment was complex, without telling him who the new spy was, what demon disguise they would assume, where or how to make contact, or even any identifying codewords.

Upon hearing the instructions, he immediately wanted to abandon the mission, but Immortal Monarch Fatian explained that even he didn’t know much.

Finally, Immortal Monarch Fatian gave him only a peculiar hint — the person is very capable of eating!

If it weren’t for Immortal Monarch Fatian’s equally baffled expression, he would have suspected that Immortal Monarch Fatian was playing with him!

Through countless days and nights, he finally convinced himself to accept this difficult mission, traversing various Demon Clan battle arenas, seeking demons with voracious appetites.

Occasionally, he found a few Big Stomach Demons who needed to consume over a dozen similarly leveled Demon Clan members a day. Through observation, they appeared to be true demons, lacking any Ghost Cultivator traits or a Human Clan aura.

Until today, he saw this little Mirage Demon, noticed her use Human Clan palm techniques, and observed details in her illusion that were quite human-like.

For example, the hair — typically, illusions from other demons look like bird nests, unlike Jiang Yuebai’s smooth, compliant, shiny black hair. Then there’s her eyelashes — distinctly defined and beautifully curled, naturally aligned with Human Clan traits.

Of course, the Mirage Demon Clan has that guy Shen Mingjing, so it’s understandable that other Mirage Demons can imitate Human Clan appearances.

But when he left the battle arena to avoid unnecessary conflict and saw fire pillars outside, a Great Array leveling the battlefield, with Jiang Yuebai standing among it like a Taotie, devouring everything in sight, he was astounded!

This is beyond mere eating; it’s practically extermination!

No mistake, she is the new spy!

Where did Immortal Monarch Fatian find this little glutton?!

Furthermore, at this moment, those Golden Demons described her traits as being excessively capable of eating!

No wonder Immortal Monarch Fatian told him, after finding her, no need to exchange codewords or affirm identities, just ensure survival and inform her where to find tasty Demon Clan members — that’s all!

At most, guide her closer to the forbidden zone sustaining the Demon Realm’s existence.
