Slay Demons and Exorcise Evil, Kill Gods and Devour Immortals

[No System, not a pure power fantasy, high martial arts and low mysticism, mystery, finely drawn characters, an ensemble cast, no idiot villains, and a somewhat slow start.]

Warning! This is not a brainless wish-fulfillment novel for beginners! It is not fast food!

A note before reading: This is not a story about cultivating immortality. It is a story about devouring immortals.

What is an immortal?

One who transcends the mundane and possesses vast supernatural powers.

One who lives forever, sharing the lifespan of heaven and earth.

Shen Yuan transmigrated, but emerged from the belly of a giant deep-sea beast. Branded a monster, he was about to be offered in sacrifice to Heaven.

In the world he had arrived in, secret cults called upon Heaven and prayed to spirits, secretly performing illicit rites in pursuit of immortality.

Demons and monsters drank blood and devoured flesh, consuming all living things in pursuit of immortal bodies.

And some spent their entire lives cultivating, seeking immortal fate across millennia.

But Shen Yuan was the only being in the world capable of devouring the remains of ancient immortals.

Where had these immortal remains come from? And why could he grow stronger by devouring them?

Years later, standing atop the ten-thousand-zhang demonic body he had torn apart, Shen Yuan rubbed his distended belly, still baffled.

He simply pointed his sword at the sky and roared:

“You bunch of demonic fiends, and you still dream of becoming immortals?!”

“Into my belly, every last one of you!”
