The Hunger Pearl was dark red, inscribed with a large character for “hunger,” and thickly dotted with countless shaman race talisman scripts.

Gu Hai carefully cut open his palm and inserted the Hunger Pearl into his flesh, copying Chiyou.

Buzz!

A red light came from his left palm; then the skin instantly reverted to normal. Beneath the red glow, the Hunger Pearl nestled inside Gu Hai’s body, connecting with his nerves as it took root.freeweb(n)ovel.com

The Spiritual Progenitor deity king and the metal, wood, water, fire, and earth deities within him shivered and felt an impulse to merge their energies for a combined strike.

The metal, wood, water, fire, and earth deities sent their energies to Gu Hai’s stomach, filling it with intense flames, vast floods, sharp blades, wood splinters, and dirt, forming a strange pill furnace.

Purple energy surrounded the Spiritual Progenitor deity king, then rushed to the pill furnace in the stomach, appearing to fuse with it. At the same time, it seemed to infuse the body, turning into a state that could nourish the entire physical body.

However, it was not just that. Because of the Hunger Pearl’s connection to Gu Hai’s nerves, he suddenly felt a sensation of emptiness.

Emptiness?

No, it was hunger! An incredibly ravenous hunger! In an instant, Gu Hai felt like he could devour the entire world.

Everything in front of him in the hall made him want to devour it.

I’m hungry! Famished!

Even Chiyou’s corpse aroused a desire to consume it in one bite.

“This Hunger Pearl is very strange!” Gu Hai exclaimed in astonishment.

Creak!

Steeling himself, Gu Hai closed the coffin and sent it into the Gu’s Immortal Firmament.

However, he was too hungry at that moment. He had to eat something.

Creak!

Gu Hai opened the doors to the hall.

The Unborn Man and a group of guards waited outside. Upon seeing the doors open, they immediately bowed.

“Your Reverence!” they said respectfully.

After the Unborn Man saluted Gu Hai, he looked at Gu Hai with surprise. Gu Hai’s eyes were glowing red, an extremely aggressive red light, as if possessed.

“Your Reverence, are you alright?” the Unborn Man asked anxiously, panicky because Gu Hai’s red eyes fixed on him.

Gu Hai used his powerful will to suppress his desire to eat everyone and looked around.

Inside the palace, countless guards, officials, servants, dragons, and black tortoises were scurrying around.

However, they all turned into delectable dishes in Gu Hai’s eyes, all of which he desperately wanted to consume.

Floating into the air, Gu Hai looked towards Borderless Heavenly Capital.

It was not just the palace; the entire city and all its people and animal spirits became delicious food in Gu Hai’s eyes, something he longed to devour.

The Hunger Pearl stimulated Gu Hai’s salivation.

Swallowing his saliva, Gu Hai continually suppressed his yearning to devour everything.

The Unborn Man watched in terror as Gu Hai continuously swallowed his saliva.

The Unborn Man finally understood why Gu Hai’s eyes were so frightening. Did he just think of eating me?

The Unborn Man revealed shock on his face. What did Chiyou’s remnant will do to Gu Hai in the hall earlier?

“All the chefs in the imperial kitchen, bring out all the ingredients. We will feast!” Gu Hai shouted as he flew towards the imperial kitchen.

The Unborn Man felt slightly startled but immediately followed.

Although slightly bewildered, the officials in the palace did not think much of this.

Only Chen Xianer, Long Wanqing, and Long Wanyu, who had been waiting for Gu Hai, came out when they heard his voice.

The Han Imperial Dynasty’s imperial kitchen stored endless rare and exotic meats and all sorts of food ingredients.

However, Gu Hai had not eaten much since becoming a cultivator, relying mainly on the world’s energy. Many delicacies were given away, only occasionally tasted by the nobles in the palace.

This was the situation until two gluttons showed up—Purple Subtlety and Longevity. Since these two gluttons arrived, the imperial kitchen had never stopped. They continuously used food to fill the two’s bottomless stomachs.

However, Gu Hai had issued orders to let the two eat as much as they wanted, so the imperial kitchen kept serving them. Although the many chefs were dumbfounded, the Han Nation could easily support two gourmands.

Purple Subtlety and Longevity spent most of their time there.

Even now, they were sitting in a large hall with a long table holding one hundred enormous platters of meat.

“Purple Subtlety, fifty platters each, and don’t snatch mine!” Longevity shouted.

“You’re as thin as a stick; what good is eating so much?” Purple Subtlety retorted.

“You’re as fat as a pig; why do you still want to eat?” Longevity snapped back.

“Alright. You have two hours. If you don’t finish within two hours, I’ll help you finish them!” Purple Subtlety declared.

“Humph! Two hours to eat fifty platters? Aren’t you afraid of biting your tongue? Do you really think you can eat all that in an hour? That pork leg is three meters long. Show me how you eat it in two hours!” Longevity sneered.

The two continued to bicker as they prepared to feast.

Suddenly, Gu Hai’s voice rang out. “All the chefs in the imperial kitchen, bring out all the ingredients. We will feast!”

Purple Subtlety and Longevity were momentarily stunned, while the kitchen staff leaped into action, thrilled to finally serve the emperor.

“Gu Hai is coming to eat? Is the sun rising from the west?” Purple Subtlety said in disbelief.

“Don’t worry about him. Just how much can he eat? We are the kings of eating!” Longevity shook his head.

Bang!

As if drawn by the aroma, Gu Hai appeared before them.

“Ah! Gu Hai, you’ve really come to eat with us? There are one hundred platters here. Longevity, give one to Gu Hai!” Purple Subtlety called out.

“Why not you?!” Longevity glared.

“Gu Hai won’t eat much. You can spare one platter; it won’t matter,” Purple Subtlety quickly replied.

“Why won’t it matter? I can eat that one platter for a long time. Gu Hai won’t eat much. He’ll only—” Longevity’s voice was cut off midway.

Gu Hai opened his mouth and inhaled.

Whoosh!

All one hundred platters—each filled with three meters of meat—suddenly left the table and hovered in the air for a moment before being sucked into Gu Hai’s mouth like smoke.

Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!

Gu Hai kept chewing. One hundred platters of meat—a horrifying amount—disappeared, including the bones.

All gone?

Purple Subtlety: “…”

Longevity: “…”

The two’s eyes nearly popped out as if they had seen a ghost.

The arriving chefs were also stunned by the spectacle, but no one said a word.

Gu Hai turned his head and looked at the chefs.

I’m hungry! Starving!

As Gu Hai looked at the chefs, he desired to eat them all. However, his powerful rationality kept him in check.

“Where’s the meat? Take us there!” Gu Hai demanded.

“It’s-it’s not ready yet, Your Reverence!” the head chef replied, avoiding Gu Hai’s fiery gaze.

“It does not matter. Bring us there!” Gu Hai said.

“Yes!”

The chefs quickly led Gu Hai to the kitchen.

Purple Subtlety and Longevity were left in the hall, rubbing their eyes, looking at the empty table that was laden with food just a moment ago—food that would have taken them over two hours to finish.

“Did I dream that, Purple Subtlety?” Longevity wondered.

“I think I was dreaming too!” Purple Subtlety replied.

They exchanged puzzled glances but eventually followed Gu Hai to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, hundreds of chefs were busy roasting meat, using enchanted treasures to cook the flesh. There was even a thirty-meter-tall pot filled with various beast meats.

Whoosh!

Gu Hai inhaled, and all the beast meat in the thirty-meter-tall pot flew into Gu Hai’s mouth.

Nom! Nom! Nom!

As Gu Hai chewed on the meat from that pot, he turned to the next pot. The chef responsible for that pot quickly added more meat to the pot after wiping away cold sweat.

Gu Hai kept eating; his mouth never stopped chewing. The hundreds of chefs immediately started bustling.

However, Gu Hai’s appetite seemed insatiable, and his belly was like a bottomless pit.

When the meat entered Gu Hai’s stomach, the pill furnace formed by the five deities’ energy quickly refined the meat. The resulting energy poured into the Spiritual Progenitor deity king. The Spiritual Progenitor deity king immediately grew a little stronger. At the same time, the energy stimulated Gu Hai’s physical body; he could feel his strength increasing.

Eat! Eat! Eat! Eat!

Gu Hai ate continuously, never stopping. Even Purple Subtlety and Longevity were left shivering.

“King of eating? I only just realized how civilized my table manners are!” Purple Subtlety said with horror on his face.

“Indeed. Gu Hai is the true king of eating. Just how much has he eaten already? That is enough for a few hundred meals for me! Being an emperor is great. With money, one can eat as much as one wants!” Longevity felt awed.

Not far away, Gu Hai frowned as he ate.

“It’s not enough. These beasts are too low-grade. Give me meat from higher-grade beasts!” Gu Hai demanded.

“But, Your Reverence, those higher-grade beasts are tough. It’s hard to cook them quickly!” the head chef protested as he wiped his sweat.

“No matter, I’ll eat them raw!” Gu Hai said.

”Raw?” The chefs were astonished.

“Raw? Rich people really know how to have fun!” Longevity commented, looking strange.

One by one, the higher-grade beast meats were released from seals that kept their freshness.

Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!

Gu Hai devoured the meat in the blink of an eye.

“I’ve had raw fish, but this is my first time seeing someone eat raw beast meat. Gu Hai is truly brave. We have a lot to learn!” Purple Subtlety said in shock as he watched Gu Hai.

“What’s more impressive is that he could even eat the pot! I-I…” Longevity was dumbfounded as Gu Hai chewed up a copper pot.

Yet, Gu Hai was still hungry. He wanted to eat something alive but held back, settling for dead flesh.

Chen Xianer, Long Wanqing, Long Wanyu, Kong Xuan, the Unborn Man, and others arrived, only to be stunned by the scene.

This was especially so for Kong Xuan, who was also a devouring expert. Compared to Gu Hai’s ferocity, he felt a sense of inferiority.

“What’s going on?” Chen Xianer asked worriedly.

Everyone looked to Purple Subtlety and Longevity.

“Gu Hai really knows how to eat. See how he eats bear spirit flesh by dipping it in spirit stones? Why didn’t I think of that before?” Purple Subtlety said ruefully.

“Using spirit stones as sauce is nothing. Look at Gu Hai, a true warrior, eating swords, shields, and even copper pots with a crispy crunch. Look at that shield forged from ten-thousand-year-old Profound Iron! He is eating it like it is a crispy rice cake. He even makes it look delicious. I’m impressed!” Longevity admitted, his eyes shining with admiration.

Compared to Gu Hai, the two felt so tame and polite. How could they have known that Gu Hai could eat so ferociously?
