The Human Giant



As Yoze swam closer and closer to the source of the life spiritual energy, the refreshing smell continued to increase and become thicker. Judging from the intensity of the smell, the life spiritual energy was more than twenty times thicker than when compared to the Serpent demon's life spiritual energy when it was an egg.

With his speed and the urging of his spiritual energy, he quickly arrived at the border, where he saw the source of the life spiritual energy he detected. Even with his vision consumed by darkness, he could see that there wasn't just a single source.

There was a large and thick white mist of life spiritual energy that surrounded ten human-sized egg-shaped objects. Each of these large objects seemed to be their own source of life spiritual energy as the majority of the life spiritual energy never left these individual eggs.

There were only a few instances where some of another egg's life spiritual energy would be attracted to another egg. This strange phenomenon seemed to happen the most frequently with the largest egg in the nest as it tried its hardest to steal as much life spiritual energy as it could before it hatched.

In Yoze's eyes, these ten eggs were like miniature white suns, with hundreds of worms and other tiny creatures that lived in the underground world unconsciously attracted to the eggs. If things continued at their current pace, all these tiny creatures would most likely become these new demons' source of food and nutrients.

"This is incredible. If I can absorb all of this life spiritual energy, then all my spiritual energies will get quite a boost. But I first need to ensure that my plan has no dangerous flaws." Yoze's eyes flashed with desire, but he temporarily restrained it and instead went over the details of his plan.

His plan was quite simple. Since he couldn't be sure that something was protecting the Slug demon's eggs or if there was a trap that would alert the Slug demon that there was an intruder inside its nest. He could only resort to absorbing the life spiritual energy from a distance.

He first ruled out the possibility of using his spiritual energies to enter the nest and allow them to devour the life spiritual energy. There were multiple reasons, and the first one was that he couldn't be sure that the Slug demon didn't have a method to sense when foreign spiritual energy entered its nest.

If he went with this plan, the best outcome would be that there weren't any additional defenses, and his spiritual energies would be allowed to devour everything, including ending the life of those Slug demon eggs. It was an efficient method but had too many dangerous flaws.

For one, if he didn't want to immediately alert the Slug demon that he was right next to its nest, he could only use his Swamp Leopard demon spiritual energy. Since it was the only one of his spiritual energies that could enjoy the benefits of the life spiritual energy, it would immediately become far stronger compared to the rest of his spiritual energies.

With how sentient his spiritual energy seemed at some points, Yoze did not doubt that the moment the Swamp Leopard demon's spiritual energy reentered his body, it would launch an attack on his other spiritual energies. Even though he didn't believe it would be able to successfully kill any of his demon spiritual energies, he was more worried about his own spiritual energy.

It was by far the weakest spiritual energy in his body and was on the verge of disappearing. It wouldn't take much effort for one of his demon spiritual energies to swallow it whole.

Not only that, he would have to deal with a significant backlash from his demon spiritual energies fighting to the death since the balance that kept it peaceful would be thoroughly shattered. Knowing that he couldn't afford to send out any of his spiritual energies, Yoze decided on another method.

One that he was more familiar with since he had successfully tried it in the past. He was going to copy the Slug Demon Spiritual Body Cultivation talent from one of these eggs and attract the life spiritual energy to his body.

From his experience, he should be able to rapidly consume and devour all the life spiritual energies of these baby Slug demons without attracting the mother Slug demon. Even if he did attract her attention, she would be puzzled as to what was wrong with her baby's life spiritual energies but wouldn't make a move.

Since there was no sign that a demon was devouring the life spiritual energy, it would look like another egg was absorbing it. Plus, with the danger of another demon lurking in the darkness, she wouldn't take the chance of accidentally exposing her egg nest.

This would give him some time to absorb the life spiritual energy and allow his spiritual energy to absorb the life spiritual energy and become stronger. If he could, he would try to guide some to his gray spiritual energy in hopes of strengthening it.

After reviewing his plan and ensuring he hadn't overlooked anything, Yoze retrieved the Leopard demon's spiritual energy back into his body before throwing his last remaining talent mark at the largest source of spiritual energy.

"Incredibly, even before this little guy is even born, it is already far more talented than its own mother. If it was allowed to grow, it would become a terrifying powerhouse."

"What's more, it's going to be able to upgrade my Spiritual sensing talent and even finally give me some talent to manipulate spiritual energy. You and your siblings will have to come with me after I absorb your life spiritual energies." Yoze pupils shrunk from shock as he didn't expect that he would stumble on a hidden treasure.

He didn't think that following the strange force would improve his life so much in such a short amount of time. He almost wanted to thank the Witch for guiding him to this hidden treasure.

After celebrating for a few seconds, Yoze calmed himself down and chose to copy the grade 10 Slug Demon Spiritual Body cultivation. As soon as he got the degraded version of the talent, he turned his senses to inside his body, where he saw that all of his demon spiritual energies were trembling as a small number of their spiritual energies were converted into a large stream of burning hot red spiritual energy.
