Ling Cage: I am a spiritual master, devouring source matter to become a god.

Jingyuan used his telekinetic power to open the gate, which caused the village alarm to sound.

Jing Yuan flew into the village with great momentum, and the strong fluctuations of his life essence made everyone feel that something was wrong.

Jing Yuan landed in the center of the village and asked the crowd in a cold voice, "Where is Bai Yuekui?"

Jingyuan scanned the area with his mental power but couldn't detect Bai Yuekui's aura or Mark's aura, so he had to go to the most crowded place in the village to ask.

Jingyuan's attitude made the young people in the village very unhappy.

Po Kong happened to be in the crowd. He already disliked Jing Yuan, and seeing that Jing Yuan had come with ill intentions, he stepped forward and said, "Who do you think you are! Running around in our village shouting and yelling..."

Jing Yuan looked over coldly, and Po Kong couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

Po Kong raised his right arm, assuming a fighting stance.

"Get lost!" Jing Yuan shouted, raising his hand and grabbing, bending Po Kong's mechanical arm along with his arm. He then waved his hand again, sending Po Kong flying and crashing into the wall, spitting blood.

"What! Are you trying to cause trouble?!"

Another person rushed over; it was Shandong University.

Jing Yuan turned around, his gaze sharpening.

The armor on Shan Da's body shattered inch by inch, and in an instant, it felt as if a dozen fists were hitting him.

Shan Da was still ten meters away from Jing Yuan when he suddenly stopped and coughed up blood.

They didn't even see Jing Yuan make a move!

Xia Tianlai quickly stepped in front of Shan Da, after all, he was his son-in-law.

Xia Tianlai quickly said, "Jingyuan, calm down! Calm down!"

Jingyuan had a good impression of Xia Tianlai, so he didn't make a move and asked directly, "Where is Bai Yuekui?"

"The boss isn't in the village!"

"where is she?"

Xia Tianlai said, "I don't know either. If you want to see her, you can wait a moment. We'll send someone to contact her right away!"

Jingyuan remained silent.

Summer arrived and he quickly made arrangements, "Quick, call the boss and tell him to come back!"

Xia Tian stepped forward and asked, "Jingyuan, why are you back? I heard you had some misfortune... But it's good that you're back! It's good that you're back! Let's talk things over!"

"Alright! Let's talk this out!" Jing Yuan walked towards Xia Tianlai and said, "Xia Tianlai, let me ask you, are you aware of Bai Yuekui's plan?"

"What plan are you talking about?"

"Forget it!" Jing Yuan said coldly, "I'm not talking to you, I'll wait for Bai Yuekui to arrive!"

Some of the village's young men glared fiercely at Jing Yuan.

Jing Yuan didn't back down at all, coldly saying, "If you're not convinced, you can attack me, you can gang up on me, I guarantee I won't even lift a finger!"

"Everyone, disperse!" Xia Tianlai shouted at the people around him when he saw that things were not going well.

Xia Tianlai still held some prestige in the village, and upon seeing this, everyone turned and left.

Jingyuan waited where he was.

Penny led Ran Bing and Jing Nan running from the village entrance.

Ran Bing and Penny both knew that Jing Yuan was definitely coming to Dragon Bone Village to find Mark.

Jingnan whispered to Jingyuan, "Jingyuan, there are some things I need to tell you!"

Jingyuan turned and glanced at her. "Go ahead."

Jingnan said, "What you just said about Bai Yuekui transforming Mark into a Devouring Beast made me understand a lot of things."

"Ever since you disappeared, Mark has begun constructing the Soul-Destroying Tower, a project that Bai Yuekui has consistently opposed."

"She has never agreed."

"Mark had asked Bai Yuekui for help many times in order to collect materials to build the Soul-Destroying Tower, but she never agreed. She said that the people of Dragon Bone Village were free and she couldn't control them. If he wanted help from someone, he should just go directly to them. So Mark started asking the Awakened Walkers of Dragon Bone Village one by one."

"Not a single one of them helped?" Mark looked at the villagers of Dragonbone Village in the distance and said angrily, "Is eliminating the Mana ecosystem just a matter for us at the Lighthouse?"

Jingnan shook his head. "It's not that everyone refused to help! Tasia, Suixing, Xutong, and Guayan helped out because of the help you gave them before. However, even with their help, most of us at Lighthouse are ordinary people, and there were always sacrifices. Later, Mark was devastated and became depressed for a while."

"I understand. She just wants Mark to face reality and willingly be transformed into a Devouring Beast!"

Why did Bai Yuekui transform Mark into a Devouring Beast?

"She's here!" Jing Yuan said, watching Bai Yuekui approach. "Let's hear what she has to say!"

Chapter 243 The Sleeping Beast-Transformed Mark

Bai Yuekui walked slowly towards Jing Yuan alone. A small robot surrounded her; it was her brother, Bai Yuetian.

This was the first time Jingyuan had ever met Bai Yuetian.

"Jingyuan, you're still alive!" Bai Yuekui was also surprised to see Jingyuan.

"What, you want me dead?"

"Don't misunderstand, I don't want you to die! I'm glad you're alive."

Before Jingyuan could speak, Jingnan beside him said, "If you didn't want him to die, why didn't you tell him about the Twelve Kings in the first place?"

Jingyuan hadn't reacted yet, but in the eyes of the people of Lighthouse, this had always been a thorn in their side.

“I have already explained this matter. I did not expect the Twelve Kings to reappear.”

Jingyuan suddenly realized that even Tasia knew about Taojun's existence, so Bai Yuekui must know as well.

However, Bai Yuekui did not disclose any relevant information.

After killing the King-level Devouring Beast, Jing Yuan's confidence soared.

In his mind, the King-level was already the highest level of Devouring Beast.

He believed he was out of danger.

However, he was unaware of the existence of the Twelve Kings. Any one of them could have killed Jing Yuan at that time!

Jing Yuan looked at Bai Yuekui and asked, "Did you do this on purpose?"

"I don't want to explain anymore!" Bai Yuekui didn't even look at Jing Yuan. "If you think I deliberately didn't say it, then I deliberately didn't say it."

"Fine! I don't care!" Jing Yuan didn't care about any of that anymore and asked directly, "Where's Mark?"

Bai Yuekui knew that Jing Yuan's aggressive arrival was definitely because of Mark.

"Inside the lab?"

Jingyuan was taken aback. "The laboratory you hid in the cave?"

"Correct!"

“That’s not right!” Jing Yuan said, “When I came in just now, I scanned the room with my mental power. There was no trace of Mark in the lab, not even the aura of the Devouring Beast.”

Bai Yuekui turned around and said, "If you want to know, then come with me!"

Jingyuan and the other three followed Bai Yuekui.

Bai Yuekui led the way, and they soon arrived at the laboratory entrance.

Bai Yuekui turned to look at Ran Bing and said softly, "If you insist on going in, you should be mentally prepared!"

Ran Bing nodded firmly; since she was here, there was no way she wouldn't go in.

As for Jing Yuan, he already knew everything that was going on.

The gate opened, and Bai Yuekui went in first.

Not far from the entrance, there is a row of huge glass jars containing the corpses of clones.

Ran Bing saw the corpse of the first clone and quickly ran over.

"mark!"

The clone in the jar had a ferocious expression, clearly indicating that it had suffered greatly before its death.

Seeing Mark like this, Ran Bing felt as if her heart was broken.

Penny, seeing the clone's corpse, angrily exclaimed, "How could you do this to Mark!"

Jingnan, standing nearby, remained relatively calm. "Look, there's more than one Mark!"

Ran Bing and Penny looked ahead and saw many huge glass jars, and several "Marks" inside them.

Besides "Mark", there are several Devouring Beasts.

“What you see are just clones of Mark!” said the little robot Bai Yuetian. “To be precise, Mark is also a clone! Just like them.”

"Hmph!" Jing Yuan sneered, "Now you only have your brain inside the robot, can you say you're the same as us?"

"You..." Bai Yuetian said angrily, "How dare you talk like that? Do you know that I'm practically your grandfather's generation?"

Jing Yuan sneered, "Mark possesses a body and life essence. Yet you treat him merely as a tool. Your brother only has a brain left, yet you still consider him human. Bai Yuekui, what is your definition of humanity?"

"You..." Bai Yuetian's tone was clearly angry.
