The Crystal Devouring Beast is an extremely rare royal beast.

Moreover, it is an extremely rare "predatory-class" king beast in this world.

To be precise, he was born in a superdimensional world called Crystal Vein, where his people feed on various energy crystals, alien beast crystal cores, and core crystals of civilization technology.

Even if it fails to advance, the adult form of the hatched Crystal Devouring Beast can still reach the Earth Rank in combat strength.

Each time they advance in rank, their actual combat strength will increase.

This speed of advancement can definitely be described as top-tier among king-level beasts!

Chen Feng smiled.

The reason he didn't recognize this priceless king beast cub was simply because all the Crystal Devouring Beasts he encountered on Earth were adult forms, while this one, which looked like a gemstone-like juvenile, had just entered its first evolution...

What Chen Feng found even more unimaginable was how he had obtained the embryo of the Crystal Devouring Beast.

Was it stolen from the Heavenly Rank Flood Dragon?

Or did it just happen to fall on me and choose me?

Just then! The sounds of fierce fighting came from afar again, and the attackers seemed to be gradually approaching Chen Feng's direction.

Chen Feng's eyes sharpened, and he immediately knew that the Darkborn Society was coming to kill him.

After repeatedly striking the Darkborn with the spiritual impact of the Dark God race, Chen Feng obtained some fragments of that Darkborn's memories.

The Darkin's presence in this area seems to be related to something inside that huge cave.

Chen Feng had no idea what treasures were inside the cave.

Because with this Earth-rank Darkborn member's Earth-rank combat strength, they didn't have the authority to know what their team was truly searching for; only the Heaven-rank Darkborn member of that Darkborn team knew!

Like demons, Darkin possesses a more powerful Ascended form, which is extremely rare among human warriors. This often results in humans being in a predicament of being of the same rank but with different combat strength when fighting against Darkin.

Even a demon slayer like Chen Feng only possesses the strength to contend with the Darkborn at the same level.

It's not quite a case of overwhelmingly dominating someone of the same rank.

Chen Feng has an even more important task to do right now: to find more giant beast spoils that can be devoured by the Crystal Devouring Beast, so as to help the Crystal Devouring Beast complete this advancement.

...

A few minutes later

The seven members of the Darkborn Society then arrived at the spot where Chen Feng had just been.

They were almost all dressed in tight-fitting armor made of animal hide, with a square shadow energy shield on their backs, and sniper rifles in their hands for long-range shooting.

As they silently watched their fallen comrade...

A man dressed in a black and gold robe with dark patterns and wearing a shadow helmet pushed aside the other Darkin members and came to the corpse.

He was surrounded by a faint, shadowy mist, and his entire body exuded a chilling, dark pressure.

His attire clearly identifies him as a Heavenly Rank expert from the Darkborn team!

"interesting..."

As the Heavenly Rank Dark Descendant muttered to himself, he squatted down and placed his hand on the corpse's forehead.

The next moment! The Darkin, who had been dead, seemed to suddenly come back to life.

He sat up abruptly, only to find the world before him shrouded in mist and obscure scenery.

In that space, none of the Darkin standing still could detect his presence; he was more like a figure engraved in the background wall.

The only thing he could see was the Heavenly Rank Dark Descendant standing in front of him, staring at him.

"Loser, I need you to tell me everything about Chen Feng..."

"It's Chen Feng! I saw the Thousand Bird Thunder Beast and the Golden Demon-Slaying Armor. It's definitely him, no doubt about it!" the dead Darkborn said angrily.

However, the sound he made was extremely ethereal and was almost instantly absorbed by the Heavenly Rank Dark Descendant.

The Heavenly Rank Dark Descendant stared at his dead companion, a smile suddenly appearing in his eyes.

It was as if she had suddenly thought of something interesting.

"Tell me, what was the last thing you saw..."

The voice just fell.

The body of the Earth-rank Darkborn suddenly trembled violently, and the corpse that had already lost its life opened its pair of snow-white eyes, as if staring at some empty corner.

"I saw Chen Feng take my storage pouch and take out an embryo of a Crystal Devouring Beast from it."

The Darkborn's soul spoke in a flat tone, devoid of any emotion; only the slurred speech betrayed his physical weakness.

Clearly, this involves retracing the final moments before death.

He had exhausted the last bit of his remaining mental strength.

"The Crystal-Devouring Beast?!" The Celestial-Rank Dark Descendant's pupils constricted sharply, and he exclaimed in shock. His tone then turned ruthless. "Now, tell me the size and shape of that embryo! Otherwise, I will refine your remnant soul into Eternal Light!"

As the words "Eternal Light" were uttered, the corpse's eyes suddenly widened.

A hint of terror crept into the pale whites of his eyes—clearly, this was a punishment he feared more than death itself.

However, the depletion of spiritual power was irreversible, and the body of his companion, which had been forcibly controlled by the Heavenly Rank Dark Descendant, finally collapsed helplessly to the ground, with only a wisp of remnant soul barely holding on.

"Only... only the size of a finger." These were his last words.

"Very good!" Without any hesitation, the Heavenly Rank Dark Descendant waved his hand and completely erased the entire mental space he had created.

His true form reappeared before the Darkin members.

"Boss, should we continue deeper into that cave? We've already missed one opportunity," a Darkborn immediately asked, his tone anxious.

A cold smile curled at the corner of the Heavenly Rank Dark Descendant's lips, but he slowly shook his head.

At the same time, he raised one hand and summoned a magical scythe that glowed with an eerie light out of thin air—clearly, he had found a "trophy" that was more interesting than his original target.

"No, we'll change course and go find someone else." His voice held a hint of amusement. "This person's value is no less than our original target."

"Are you referring to the exorcist who went missing in the city of Sera?"

"Chen Feng!"
