As the Abyssal Devourer lunged, Ye Feng extended his hand, and the vortex of darkness in his palm expanded instantly.
The beast let out a terrifying shriek as the swirling black hole pulled it in.
➤ [Abyssal Consumption Activated!]
The monstrous entity struggled, its countless limbs flailing, but the pull of Ye Feng's devouring force was absolute.
The moment its core touched the void, a surge of energy flooded into Ye Feng's body.
➤ [Absorbing Abyssal Devourer…]
➤ [+50 Strength]
➤ [+40 Agility]
➤ [+80 Abyssal Energy]
➤ [Devourer Core Awakening: 80%]
The air cracked as Ye Feng's power surged. His aura grew darker, heavier—like a black hole absorbing all light.
More creatures emerged from the void, sensing the shift in power. They hesitated.
For the first time—they feared him.
The masked figure observed silently, his eyes flashing with intrigue.
"You are evolving faster than expected."
Ye Feng clenched his fists, feeling the raw abyssal energy coursing through his veins.
"This power…" He smirked. "It's just the beginning, isn't it?"
The masked figure nodded. "Indeed. But raw power alone is not enough. You must master it, or it will consume you."

Abyssal Trial: The Devourer's Path
The void shifted again.
The creatures vanished, and in their place, an ancient structure rose from the abyss. A massive obsidian gate, covered in strange markings that pulsed with eerie light.
Ye Feng frowned. "What is this?"
The masked figure finally stepped forward.
"The Gate of Devourers. Beyond this lies the true path of abyssal evolution."
Ye Feng's eyes gleamed with hunger. "What's the catch?"
A pause. Then—
"If you enter, you will face your own devouring instinct. If you lose, your body and soul will be absorbed into the abyss, and you will cease to exist."
Ye Feng's heart pounded.
This was no ordinary trial. This was life and death.
But fear? That wasn't in his nature.
He took a step forward.
"I didn't come this far to back down now."
The masked figure chuckled. "Then prove you are worthy of the Abyssal Throne."
The massive obsidian gate rumbled as it slowly opened—
Revealing pure darkness beyond.
Without hesitation, Ye Feng stepped inside.
And the gate slammed shut behind him.
