Land of Spring.

After reincarnating too many people at once, Yunlong meditated near the Hidden Veins of Life and used the Hidden Dragon Cultivation to turn more of his blood into raw strength. What he did earlier was energy-consuming, even for a monster like him.

Thus, Yunlong wanted to experiment with the Primordial Lord of Hunger and Gluttony, Beelzebub.

Yunlong only pushed himself this far when he fought the two agents sent by the Outer Gods in Douluo Dalu-101. Thankfully, Yunlong’s innate skill, Gluttony, has evolved into Beelzebub and helped him get Nathicaru from combining skills subsequently, allowing him to finish them off quickly.

Besides the Concept of Hunger and Gluttony, Beelzebub possesses seven more abilities.

Predation.

Stomach.

Mimicry.

Isolation.

Corrosion.

Soul Consumption.

Lastly, the Food Chain.

Beelzebub’s Predation is simple.

It allows Yunlong to become the devourer of all things and indirectly weakens his enemies by placing a ‘prey’ status on them.

Beelzebub’s Stomach is also a pretty straightforward one. It was basically Beelzebub’s core ability as everything the skill revolved around eating and digesting things.

Beelzebub’s Mimicry allowed Yunlong to obtain traits of everything he swallowed, weak or not and mimicked them for his usages.

It wasn’t limited to energy or skill, as Yunlong has mimicked many things like Divinities. Mimicry also enhanced Yunlong’s Heavenly Ruler to copy sets of universal rules, even the Primordial Sword Goddess’s technique.

Beelzebub’s Isolation is part of Beelzebub’s Stomach. It allowed Yunlong to isolate things he devoured with Beelzebub’s Predation, preventing them from escaping.

Beelzebub’s Corrosion acts like extreme acid in the Beelzebub’s Stomach, fastening the rate of Beelzebub’s digestion. It also can be applied to reality and give Yunlong the ability to melt things conceptually.

Beelzebub’s Soul Consumption is very literal. It has been part of Gluttony since the beginning, allowing Yunlong to swallow other souls and obtain some of their memory, stats, and skills.

However, Beelzebub’s Soul Consumption is better by a mile. One of the ‘strongest’ abilities Yunlong possessed by far, due to its nature, was the ability to consume the souls of those who were even mightier than Yunlong.

In fact, Beelzebub’s Soul Consumption is most lethal because souls are the very foundation of a being.

And last but not least.

Beelzebub’s Food Chain.

Beelzebub is the top predator in the grand scheme of things. However, that doesn’t mean Beelzebub needs to be alone.

Beelzebub could pass extra nutrients to those on the lower Food Chain, equipping them with the claws and fangs to search for delicious food, in this case, rare things, and grow stronger.

In return, those on the lower Beelzebub’s Food Chain also provided a steady supply of prey.

This cycle continues infinitely, which makes Beelzebub known for being an existence with endless hunger and a bottomless stomach.

God forbid Beelzebub to become a Primordial Lord, but who can judge one’s hunger?

Yunlong used Beelzebub’s Stomach to digest Life Energy in the Hidden Veins of Life faster. He meditated for five minutes and recovered all his lost energy.

However, as a backup plan, he also stored more star-like energy cores in Beelzebub’s bottomless belly for emergencies. Yunlong doesn’t have to worry about lacking space because Beelzebub’s belly possesses infinite and kept-expanding space.

Actually, there is another reason why Yunlong reincarnated talented and sage-like people from the Pure Land. He wanted to harvest their abilities with the Beelzebub’s Food Chain.

Although Yunlong would only get the prototype, the abilities would help him elevate the Lord of Ability, Nathicaru, to a Primordial Lord like Beelzebub.

Yunlong can’t imagine how strong Nathicaru would become if he could rinse and repeat this method three more times.

Simply put, Yunlong haven’t used them to their true potential.

“That was fast?” Kaguya blinked her eyes in amazement. She knew just how much Yunlong’s energy reserve was.

But Yunlong recovered all that energy this fast, including his Divine Energy (Immortal Qi), Divine Sense (Mental Power), and Soul Force.

Just how fast is his energy recovery?

“That’s what she said.” Gu Yuena joked proudly. She has learned many things from others.

Yunlong smiled, “Like I said, it wasn’t really a problem. A worthwhile investment from me.”

“I will continue helping some of them.”

“Kaguya, watch for the Otsutsuki spies.”

“Gu Yuena, take care of the guests Naruto and Sasuke brought later.”

Kaguya nodded, “My eyes are always on the Dimensional Barrier.”

“Eh, I don’t wanna take care of them.” Of course, Gu Yuena complained right away. She’s better off cultivating Hidden Dragon Cultivation rather than humoring weakling-like guests.

She pouted and added, “I will get Dong Chan here. She’s better at entertaining people because of her political skills.”

“Aren’t Bibi Dong just as skilled as her?” Yunlong’s mouth twitched in disbelief.

“Hell no! Bibi Dong would straight up intimidate them.” Gu Yuena dissed the Evil Empress. “You don’t want her to give them trauma, trust me.”

Gu Yuena couldn’t tell Yunlong how Bibi Dong blackmailed her.

Goddess of Love? More like the Goddess of Sadism!

‘What did Bibi Dong do to you exactly to make you this paranoid?’ Yunlong was speechless. Even though Bibi Dong’s approach is questionable, she shouldn’t be that bad.

Even then, Yunlong yielded. He doesn’t want to argue with the Silver Dragon Goddess.

“Whatever, as long as it works.” Yunlong sighed a little.

“Go arrange things. I will be back in an hour or two.”

“Okay.” Kaguya watched Yunlong meditating again and went to the Land of Spring’s core to set up a few things.

Meanwhile, Gu Yuena went to the moon and fetched Dong Chan so she could laze around while soaking herself in the Hidden Vein of Life’s hot spring.

She chuckled happily in her heart, unaware that Yunlong saw through her plan from miles away.

The Silver Dragon Goddess thought she was being slick. Yet Yunlong is slicker than her.

Yunlong smirked and prepared a headache for Gu Yuena. He entered the semi-virtual realm, and yes. This time, it’s a couple again.

A blonde-haired man and a red-haired woman patiently sat on the bed, waiting for Yunlong.

Yunlong appeared before them and smiled, “Did I make you two wait for too long?”

“Not at all, Yunlong-sama.” The Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, smiled back at Yunlong.

“Yunlong-sama, just hurry up and teach us how to cultivate already! I want to meet Naruto and my grandchildren!” Uzumaki Kushina being a brash grandmother is something Yunlong expected.

Previously, Yunlong’s clone had awakened Minato and Kushina’s Martial Soul and taught them knowledge about Spirit Master.

Then, his energy runs low.

Weirdly, Minato and Kushina only thought Yunlong disappeared for a fraction of a second.

Yunlong scanned Minato and Kushina again, opening their status panel.

And Yunlong isn’t going to lie. Their status panel is impressive.

After skimming through their status panel, Yunlong grinned inside as he couldn’t wait to harvest them and crossed his arms, “Well, let’s see how far you two can get.”
