Given time, enough food and nutrients, it could acquire countless supernatural powers and abilities. Given the opportunity, it might even be called omnipotent, and possess the potential to destroy the world.
Of course, it currently lacks both time and nourishment.
At this moment, the only nourishment available to it is the girl in white.
But will it devour Bai Qian?
Can it do it?
With no way to resist or escape, he could only endure the white-clad girl's fists, which was now the Hungry Beast. He was taking a lot of beatings; if it were Hong who had taken so many punches, she might have been beaten to death on the spot.
The fists weren't big, but they were incredibly heavy. Each blow felt like it was trying to knock Nian Cheng's soul out of his body; it wasn't just physical pain.
She finally understood why the hungry beast had suddenly hidden itself.
Bai Qian put away her fist and tilted her head slightly as she looked at Nian Cheng, who seemed to have collapsed limply to the ground.
Nian Cheng also reacted slightly, her gaze becoming somewhat dazed, but she only came back to her senses after realizing that Bai Qian had stopped.
As a result, my first reaction after regaining my senses was to reach out my hand.
The pain brought Nian Cheng back to her senses as her palm was stomped cleanly on the ground by a high heel.
She looked at Bai Qian, a hint of fear in her eyes.
Bai Qian quietly lowered her head, her cold eyes gazing at Nian Cheng, whose entire body was covered in purple paint.
Just as he was about to ask Nian Cheng what exactly was going on with the Hungry Beast.
Suddenly, he turned his head to look at the other side of the mountaintop.
At this moment, due to the aftershocks of the battle, most of the mountaintop had completely collapsed, but a small portion remained, barely holding on, with the purple patterns etched on the ground still slowly flowing.
The bizarre statue, which seemed to be a composite of various wild beasts, moved slightly.
The blazing sun in the sky seemed to be shrouded in clouds, plunging the world into darkness.
Bai Qian frowned slightly as she sensed the unusual activity in the air, clearly noticing what was happening throughout Taiheng City.
Seeing Bai Qian distracted, Nian Cheng, standing beside her, felt a surge of secret joy. He had no other thoughts but fear of Bai Qian and wanted to use this opportunity to run away.
The next moment, its body was stepped on by [Nian Gao], the heel sinking deep into its body, as if a mountain was pressing down on it.
Bai Qian glanced indifferently at Nian Cheng and crushed his wrist with a single stomp.
The pain of shattered bones surged through his mind again, but this time Nian Cheng endured it without uttering a sound.
Seeing this, Bai Qian was very patient. [Nian Gao] raised it again and crushed its other wrist, followed by its two thighs. All four limbs were crushed by [Nian Gao].
Finally, the delicate shoe was lifted, and the silver-white, almost transparent high heel clearly revealed the slender foot inside, encased in pure white stockings, which was placed on its chest.
"Still unwilling to talk about it?" Bai Qian asked, looking at Nian Cheng.
Nian Cheng wanted to ask what exactly you wanted to know, but when she met those chilling eyes, she didn't dare to answer.
“According to its plan, I should now try to use that statue to communicate with the other Outer Gods,” Nian Cheng said after a moment of silence.
"My current power is not enough. I can consider tricking other outer gods into giving me some power to devour. Once I have enough power, I can start absorbing the entire Taiheng as nourishment." He hesitated for a moment before answering.
"And her?" asked Nian Qi.
Nian Cheng didn't answer, but that was enough to constitute an answer.
Bai Qian frowned slightly, as if she wanted to ask something else.
The statue suddenly moved a few times, as if it had come to life, and it looked sharply in this direction.
Nian Cheng's body twitched twice, and then her body rapidly aged, as a ball of purple light rushed towards the statue.
The purple hue, like paint, faded from Nian Cheng's body, revealing the girl's pale appearance. Her body also seemed to be aging rapidly, having aged three-tenths in an instant.
Incense flowed from his fingertips and landed on Nian Cheng's, or rather Nian Qi's, body, helping to stop the rapid aging of this body. He frowned slightly as he looked at the girl's condition.
Only then did he slowly raise his head and look across.
Or rather, looking at the statue that had been taken back into the hands of the hungry beasts.
A hungry beast is a hungry beast, and Nian Cheng is Nian Cheng; Bai Qian can still tell the difference.
Having merged with the statue and regained new power, the hungry beast may only have one thing to do at this moment.
Those bizarre and strange eyes were fixed on Bai Qian, their eyes brimming with an almost malicious hunger, along with a suffocating chill.
Bai Qian faced the hungry beast's gaze, but did not look at it.
Instead, he looked down at Nian Cheng beside him.
Bai Qian slowly lifted her foot.
"Do we need to make a choice?" Bai Qian asked, looking at Nian Cheng, or perhaps trying to see through her eyes to another girl.
Perhaps Nian Cheng didn't see it, but Bai Qian knew perfectly well who it was.
Nian Qi's figure, so faint it was almost invisible, appeared silently. She glanced at Bai Qian, then at Nian Cheng beside her, who looked anxious. Her eyes were full of gratitude for Bai Qian, and she felt little hatred for Nian Cheng, as if there was a unique kind of tolerance. Perhaps in her eyes, Nian Cheng hadn't done anything wrong.
"Never mind, I'm just a remnant soul now anyway, so I'll leave this body to my sister." She said after a moment of silence, as if she had made a great decision, but she didn't think about it for long.
The hungry beast statue opposite was still lingering. Although it showed extreme malice, it did not dare to pounce on it alone at this moment.
Upon hearing Nian Qi's words, a look of surprise appeared on Nian Cheng's face.
Bai Qian looked at Nian Qi, then glanced at Nian Cheng, whose face was filled with surprise.
"I'm just letting you choose," Bai Qian said, her exquisite, silver-white eyes, like jewels, gazing at Nian Cheng.
"It wasn't said that it had to be done this way, was it?"
Upon hearing the girl's words, Nian Cheng's eyes narrowed sharply, and he instinctively stood up, trying to create some distance.
But it was already too late.
Her spirit and soul were grasped by a slender, white jade hand, which then slowly withdrew.
His body transformed into a blank shell, resembling a doll, and slowly slumped to the ground.
Bai Qian simply held the orb of light representing Nian Cheng's spirit and soul, as if she could feel her wails and pleas from it, but she ignored it.
The ball of light, resembling a glass bead, crashed to the ground as Bai Qian released her grip. Then, her silver-white, translucent jade-like shoes stepped down, and whatever Nian Cheng was thinking or had any plans, all vanished in an instant.
It completely shattered her sanity.
The shards of glass refracted, reflecting Bai Qian's indifferent and aloof yet stunningly beautiful profile.
Bai Qian then looked at Nian Qi's figure, which was so faint that it was almost impossible to see. Nian Qi stared blankly at the glass shards on the ground that represented Nian Cheng's soul, pursing his lips but not knowing what to say.
“I’ll do the things you don’t want to do for you,” she said earnestly.

This chapter is about 8500 words long, one more chapter to go. I'm a little exhausted. I feel like there are a lot of problems with this chapter. I'm so sleepy that I'm not in the right state of mind. I need to take a nap. I'll finish this chapter after I've had a nap and feel better.
Love you all~~~ Please continue reading!
Volume 1: 273. Generally, there is no second fragility.
Nian Qi remained floating in place, her body somewhat ethereal, as if she were about to vanish in the next second.
The girl in white brushed past her, her cool gaze giving off a slightly cold feeling.
Or rather...
It was supposed to be a choice given to me, but from the beginning there was no other choice.
Nian Qi didn't hate or resent Bai Qian because of this incident, because she didn't have the right to. Apart from feelings of gratitude and admiration, she had no other feelings towards Bai Qian.
However I have to say it, my feelings are probably still a bit complicated.
My sister just died like that?
Nian Qi didn't know how to describe her feelings.
But haven't I done enough?
He risked his life for Nian Cheng's plan, even though he knew from the beginning that something was wrong with Nian Cheng, he still followed her without hesitation.
Even now, with his soul almost completely dissipated, Nian Qi has no regrets.
But seeing her sister die like that, she felt a mix of laughter and tears.
So what is the purpose of this?
I just experienced Bai Qian's oppressive aura firsthand with Nian Cheng. Because the hungry beast was initially under my control, Nian Cheng was able to control it with my help. However, Nian Cheng later had to weaken her power...
In a little while, my soul will probably really dissipate.
Nian Qi stared blankly at his own body.
Bai Qian, who was passing by, ignored her and gently patted her, shoving her into the hollow body on the ground that resembled a doll.
Only then did he raise his head to look at the hungry beast opposite him.
Looking at this monster that seemed to be stitched together, with light purple patterns wrapped around its body, layer upon layer, these patterns and words seemed to be alive, yet also resembled some kind of unique sacrificial ritual.
At this moment, the hungry beast is not being manipulated or controlled by anyone; it is acting purely on instinct.
It did not specifically control the domain, allowing it to spread unchecked, covering the mountains and even extending to the outskirts of Taiheng City.
If we say that the hungry beast controlled by Niancheng is essentially like a child who has a gun but doesn't know how to fire it.
At this point, the hungry beast not only knows how to fire a gun, but it also knows how to fire one.
The domain continued to expand, slowly unfolding outwards, while gradually and steadily devouring everything within its embrace.
Rocks, plants, everything in the air... anything touched by the domain was completely swallowed up.
The mountains became lower and lower, layer by layer, and the clouds were absorbed and dispersed.
Bai Qian watched the ravenous beast grow stronger and stronger, and then looked with great curiosity at the various objects around her that were being gradually devoured by the domain.
The purple liquid gradually engulfed everything in sight. Compared to the rainbow or the Lotus Mother, the Hungry Beast's domain at this moment seemed more like a world.
A world that devours external things to grow stronger.
Bai Qian could clearly sense that this world was also trying to devour her.
The spiritual fire and incense surrounding her body blocked its erosion. Bai Qian was not in a hurry. Instead, she waited quietly in place, watching the hungry beast gradually grow stronger.
From the size of wild beasts at the beginning, to giant elephants, and then to small hills.
The entire mountain had vanished completely, replaced by a beast whose size was now comparable to that of a mountain.
Bai Qian gazed at its mountain-like form, but simply blinked gently, waiting for it to make its move.
The hungry beast still didn't make a move. Although its eyes were full of malice towards Bai Qian, perhaps it was just in case, or perhaps it was simply out of caution.
It remained lying in the same spot, gazing at Bai Qian. The domain continued to expand, submerging all the mountains, rivers, and vegetation.
Until the deep purple domain spread to the walls of Taiheng, attempting to submerge the city walls and enter the city.
Bai Qian took a light step forward.
With her slender fingers, she lifted a hammer that was even larger than she was at that moment.
Silver lightning spread from the five fingers to the entire hammer. Light, delicate hair floated up with the lightning, and the lotus flower underfoot seemed to be stained by the lightning, turning silver-white.
In those eyes, divine light seemed to rise, and lightning flashed.
Slender bolts of lightning danced between her hair as Bai Qian slowly lifted [Yuanxiao].
Even at this moment, the hungry beast still had no intention of fighting Bai Qian, and its mountain-like body took a step back.
In fact, for the hungry beast, there was no need to fight Bai Qian to the death at this moment. Even if it was just to buy time, it would be stronger every second than before.
The more it devours, the stronger it becomes.
Even so, it has no reason to...
The expansion of the domain came to a standstill, as if it had encountered a wall made of steel.
Only then did it look at Bai Qian opposite it.
A burst of silvery lightning illuminated the girl's delicate profile, and the lightning that had been leaping out from the hammer suddenly jumped up.
She took a step forward and arrived directly above the hungry beast, standing on a lotus flower sculpted by lightning, and raised [Yuanxiao] in one hand.
The lightning seemed to tear a narrow crack in the sky, illuminating half of the world.
