Chapter 222: Man-Beast City

Those in the Dharma Aspect Realm interfere with Heaven and Earth Principles and touch upon the rules.

As a Body Cultivator in the Dharma Aspect Realm, Qing Niu had even trained this trait into his own body, which contained powerful Heaven and Earth Principles that were highly condensed, no longer a simple body of flesh and blood.

It could be said that the Dharma Aspect is his own body!

But the Sun True Fire, with its extremely high essence, did not care whether you were simple or not, or whether you contained Heaven and Earth Principles; even if you did, it would burn the Heaven and Earth Principles right along with you.

Therefore, it directly ignited Qing Niu's body.

Qing Niu's form was massive; at first, only a small patch was burning, and he did not notice. But after a few seconds, the fire spread, burning half his body, and the Yin Qi covering his skin was instantly burned away; the flames invaded his skin and burrowed into his bone marrow.

The flames raged within his body, from the outside in.

"Ah!"

Qing Niu roared in agony, his voice turning into an infinite wave of sound that swept across the entire plain, causing the surface of the plain to crack, shatter, and then roll backward, striking the great net formed by the Earth Vein Power.

What is happening?

Why is this fire burning inside his body!

It actually ignored his defenses?

At this moment, he could no longer care about attacking Li Heng, realizing that the Weird fire was burning inside him, actually burning the Dharma Law and Heaven and Earth Principles formed within his body until they were shattered.

No matter how slow his mind was, he realized this was no small matter and hurriedly focused his spirit, wanting to mobilize the Heaven and Earth Principles within his body to extinguish this Weird fire.

Lie Dangkong gasped upon seeing this.

Did that fire really ignite him?

This is a great demon Body Cultivator in the Dharma Aspect Realm!

Could it be that this is truly the Sun True Fire?

Lie Dangkong was extremely shocked; if this really was the Sun True Fire, did that mean Li Heng had once come into contact with the Great Sun in the sky? Or perhaps, he had descended from the Great Sun above the Nine Heavens?

Li Heng's origins became increasingly mysterious in his mind.

Qing Niu had been burned all over by the Sun True Fire, resembling a bull-shaped torch reaching into the sky. Under the roasting of the flames, the crowd could even smell the aroma of beef, and the fat was crackling and popping...

The members of the Profound Dao felt their scalps tingle.

Is he not going to be roasted until well-done?

Li Heng was also slightly surprised.

Is it really possible to eat steak?

It seems the Dharma Aspect Realm is indeed somewhat special; after involving Heaven and Earth Principles, they are surprisingly resistant to burning, unlike previous demons and Weirds, who would basically be reduced to ashes once ignited.

Of course, he also understood.

This was because his own realm was too low.

Qing Niu was currently furious; what kind of method was this?

He mobilized the Heaven and Earth Principles and Heaven and Earth rules fused into his body, wanting to use them to extinguish these Terror flames. But in the end, these Principles and rules were also burned!

If not for his spirit dodging in time,

his own spirit would have been ignited as well, and then it would have burned directly along the connection of his spirit to his Original Spirit; that would truly have been the end of him.

At this moment, he was completely helpless; this kind of fire was simply unreasonable and incomparably tyrannical. His body even instinctively rolled on the ground, as if wanting to extinguish the flames that way.

However, the flames only burned brighter and brighter.

Even the ground itself caught fire.

"Sir, please withdraw your Supernatural Ability; this old bull admits defeat."

Qing Niu barely managed to control his body, endured the searing pain of the burning, and knelt abruptly on the ground, kowtowing to Li Heng to beg for mercy. It could be said that as arrogant as he was at the start, he was now just as wretched.

There was no other way.

It was one thing that Yin Qi and Magic Qi were useless; after all, he was a Body Cultivator, and those things were just minor details, unimportant. His peerless physique was his greatest trump card, capable of withstanding many secret arts and curses, and having a resistance to all attacks.

One could even say this.

Hard-tanking spatial cutting and Void Turbulence was no problem at all.

But now.

Even this Vajra Indestructible Body could do nothing against the fire, so what could he do? To stay alive, kneeling to beg for mercy was not shameful.

Moreover, he could feel it.

If the Heaven and Earth Principles and rules inside his body were truly burned away, his realm would definitely fall from the Dharma Aspect, and he would return to being a pure body of flesh and blood.

By that time.

It would no longer be a question of whether the beef was cooked or how well-done it was.

He would be directly burned to ashes by this fire!

Li Heng did not answer immediately.

He observed carefully and finally saw through a bit of the reality.

The reason this bull demon was not burned to ashes by the Sun True Fire seemed to be because certain things within his body were helping him resist; sensing the aura, it seemed to be Heaven and Earth Principles and rules.

It seems this is the path of a Dharma Aspect Realm Body Cultivator.

Fusing the Dharma Aspect, Heaven and Earth Principles, and rules into oneself to forge a Vajra Indestructible Body, so that even hard-tanking spatial cutting and Void Turbulence is no problem.

After all, no matter how strong a body of flesh and blood is, it is still carried by space.

Matter like flesh and blood is merely an appendage of space.

If space is cut, flesh and blood can only be cut.

But once Heaven and Earth Principles and rules are fused into oneself, forming a kind of quasi-rule body, making one's body a whole that is perfect and seamless, then it is vastly different.

It is equivalent to making oneself level with space.

This path is not bad, but it is a pity this bull is too stupid.

Li Heng smiled lightly.

Although Sun True Fire burns everything, there are still ways to cope with it. For instance, just now, if this ox had a better brain, upon seeing itself burning, it could have directly cut off that part of its flesh like a brave man severing his wrist to avoid the influence of the Sun True Fire.

In any case, for those who cultivate the physique, regenerating flesh and blood is a trivial matter.

After all, this is not the complete version of the Sun True Fire.

It cannot burn along the connections of Causality.

But it is too late now.

The Sun True Fire has rapidly burned all over its body, reaching into its internal organs; it is no longer something that can be solved by a brave man severing his wrist, unless the Green Ox abandons this body.

Yet its strength lies in this very body, so how could it possibly abandon it? Of course, it is also possible that it cannot abandon it; this stupid ox might have long ago trained its Original Spirit and brain into muscle.

"No rush, no rush."

"It's only medium-rare right now; I prefer to eat it well-done."

Li Heng said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the Green Ox was scared out of its wits.

Does this human want to eat it?

And it calls this only medium-rare? What kind of joke is that? It has already been burned half to death, okay? If it were really burned to well-done, it would surely be dead through and through, with not even its soul left.

Li Heng ignored the Green Ox's reaction and turned to look at the crowd.

"Everyone, how well-done do you like to eat it?"

"If you like it tender and juicy, we can cut it now; if we wait any longer, this beef might get tough."

The members of the Profound Dao heard this and their expressions became strange.

Are they really going to eat it? No way, right?

"The old man also wants to eat it well-done; my teeth are still sharp enough now, I can't eat anything too tender. Come to think of it, I have eaten a half-step Dharma Aspect ox demon before, but I have never eaten one at the Dharma Aspect Realm."

"Hehe, it seems I'm in for a treat," Lie Dangkong laughed.

The Green Ox became even more terrified upon hearing the crowd's words.

It hurriedly spoke up, "Wait, you cannot eat me!"

Li Heng raised an eyebrow and spoke calmly.

"Why not? You demons can eat humans, so why can't humans eat demons? There is no such logic in the world, is there?"

The Green Ox's face stiffened upon hearing this, not knowing how to respond.

After a long while, it still spoke in a stifled manner.

"You still cannot kill me. I just returned from the Abyss Sea and haven't had a chance to eat any humans yet, so you cannot kill me."

Li Heng was surprised upon hearing this. "You, a Dharma Aspect Realm great demon, are telling me you haven't eaten humans? Do you take me for a three-year-old child?"

"Oxen eat grass! What kind of humans would I eat!"

The Green Ox looked stifled and roared directly.

"I have been stationed at the Abyss Sea, chopping seafood and eating seafood; where would I have the chance to eat humans? Yes, I was planning to eat some; I heard that human meat is indeed very delicious."

"But as soon as I returned to my own mountain, I found that the Human-Livestock City was gone. What can I do? Can you humans be a little more reasonable?"

It continued to speak with grief and indignation, feeling that it was truly done for.

Is this retribution?

Could this be the curse of those seafood creatures before they died?

Li Heng fell into deep thought. He observed again just now and found that this possibility did indeed exist. Although this ox demon looked like it was surging with baleful energy and had some Resentful Souls lingering around its body earlier,

these Resentful Souls did not include any human Resentful Souls.

Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that this ox demon ate the humans so thoroughly that not even their souls were left, and it didn't keep them for decoration.

After thinking for a moment, Li Heng waved his hand, temporarily lowering the intensity of the Sun True Fire, letting the ox demon stay at medium-rare for the time being. The speed at which the Sun True Fire burned was now on par with the speed at which its flesh recovered.

Now that this ox demon was under control, it was the perfect time to ask some questions.

Afterward, he would decide whether to kill it based on the information and its attitude.

"Since you feel aggrieved, I will give you a chance. Answer whatever I ask. Otherwise, I don't mind carving up the beef at medium-rare; it's quite tender that way, too."

Li Heng said calmly.

The Green Ox felt the intensity of the Sun True Fire within its body suddenly decrease and was overjoyed. After hearing Li Heng's words, it nodded repeatedly, not daring to retort.

"I ask you, what is a Human-Livestock City?"

"You don't know about this?" The Green Ox was surprised upon hearing this.

"I said I ask and you answer. Can't you hear clearly?"

Li Heng's expression turned cold.

Suddenly, he let the intensity of the Sun True Fire grow by a notch.

The Sun True Fire inside the Green Ox's body surged abruptly, slightly exceeding the speed of its flesh regeneration, and progressed toward medium-well. The pain of its body being ravaged made the Green Ox grunt, its face turning pale.

"My lord, please withdraw your Supernatural Ability, I'll speak, I'll speak."

The Green Ox hurriedly spoke, its expression full of fear.

This human is too fierce, right?

Li Heng's expression softened, and he pressed the fire back to its original intensity.

This kind of beast just needs to be disciplined.

"The Human-Livestock City is actually food distributed to us by the Hanging Mountain. Every Dharma Aspect Realm demon has one, and it is filled with human-livestock."

"How do you explain the two words 'human-livestock'?"

"Human-livestock is just human-livestock." The Green Ox looked confused.

"Hmm?"

"No, my lord, wait, I remember now. Human-livestock is different from humans. Although their appearance and form are the same as humans, I heard they are less intelligent and naturally lack one soul and one spirit compared to humans, with dull wits, which is why they are especially suitable for being kept in captivity."

Seeing Li Heng's unkind expression, the Green Ox spoke once more.

"Missing one soul and one spirit? Let me ask you, where do the Human-Livestock come from?"

"This..." The Green Ox's expression became hesitant.

"Forget it, I might as well roast you until you're well-done."

Seeing the Green Ox so hesitant, Li Heng's expression turned unkind; he flicked his hand, intending to turn the Sun True Fire to its maximum and just finish it off, as it would also be a good chance to see how much Source Power a demon in the Dharma Aspect Realm was worth.

"No, my lord, wait, wait!"

Seeing this, the Green Ox cried out in alarm.

"I was hesitant for a reason; this involves the secrets of Heaven and Earth, and once spoken, it might invite a warning from Heaven and Earth, even while in the Present World."

"Oh?"

Li Heng raised an eyebrow; there was such a reason?

"Then speak freely, do not worry."

"Alright, alright."

The Green Ox completely recognized the situation; saying this might lead to being struck dead by Heaven and Earth, but if he didn't speak, he would have to die right now.

"These Human-Livestock are actually..."
