And while Qian Shanxue was desperately resisting, Shen Qiang's thoughts were immersed in the Qi Sea at this time.

At this moment, he was like a lost traveler, experiencing the cycle of the seasons within the Qi Sea, walking through snow mountains, grasslands, traversing wastelands, witnessing birth, aging, sickness, and death. Now, he was aimlessly walking along a desolate beach, void of any living breath.

No people, no fish or shrimp, no shells, no life at all, only the icy cold seawater lapping against the jagged coast.

Apart from the emotionless sound of waves, this endless world seemed withered, silent as death.

At this time, Shen Qiang felt no fear, no loneliness, for he was enveloped in an intense hunger.

In spring, he tasted the fresh breath of new life, in summer, he savored the joyful posture of living creatures, in autumn, he felt the joy of harvest, and in winter, he felt the unyielding spirit of life.

But he was very hungry.

After experiencing the cycle of the seasons and the passage of life, after crossing mountains and seas.

All Shen Qiang longed for was a fragrant bowl of rice and succulent, juicy, delicious meat chunks emitting an enticing aroma.

Braised, steamed, stir-fried.

Any would do!

But after traveling through forests and deserts, over mountains and seas, Shen Qiang found that the world was vast, with beautiful scenery and enchanting seasons, but it lacked the food he desired.

Wrapped in an intense feeling of hunger, Shen Qiang felt an inexplicable despair.

And just then.

A terrifying roar echoed from the sky!

"Roar!"

A giant dragon, wrapped in the glimmer of thunder and lightning, appeared before Shen Qiang with an extraordinarily haughty demeanor.

"I shall use the power of the ancestor to obliterate you, seize your body, and be reborn through it!"

The giant dragon, writhing with thunder and lightning, spoke arrogantly, with an air of pride that wasn't just imposing a dreadful pressure but also displayed the regal bearing of a king through its disdainful gaze.

It's just a pity.

Shen Qiang, tormented by terrible hunger for too long, didn't care about what it said because at this moment, he had only one thought – to devour it!

Swoosh!

Shen Qiang suddenly appeared beside the lightning-wrapped giant dragon and viciously bit down.

"So fragrant, so tasty!"

The dragon screamed in agony, its huge body rolling wildly, but Shen Qiang, who had bitten firmly into it, was oblivious to its pain, only chewing and swallowing frantically, as if by instinct.

In a ravaged plantation.

Qian Shanxue, with her powerful True Yuan, stopped just as her smooth and delicate jade feet were about to touch the wall.

"What terrifying strength, with my cultivation, just being affected by the fringes has exhausted all my power. Shen Qiang, who is in the center of the thunder, is probably already dead,"

Qian Shanxue sighed with a trace of sadness in her beautiful eyes.

And almost at the same moment, in the golden cicada nestled in her arms, a head sprang out, and the cute face broke into a smile, murmuring, "I can sense it; my master is so happy, so content right now."

Qian Shanxue was startled.

She then saw in horror that in the center of the terrifying electric light, as the lightning surged into him, Shen Qiang's figure gradually became visible.

"How is this possible!"

Qian Shanxue's eyes widened in shock as she saw Shen Qiang, now sitting cross-legged, like a giant vacuum cleaner, absorbing the furious lightning.

"Could it be that he is absorbing this terrible energy right now?"

And almost at the same moment as Qian Shanxue's surprise.

Within the world of Shen Qiang's Qi Sea.

The presumptuous giant dragon was already on its last breath.

Its head, now bitten off by Shen Qiang, lay powerlessly on the shore, watching Shen Qiang, who was frenziedly devouring its body.

"You are a devil!" it said.

But at that moment, Shen Qiang was still completely unaware.

Having satisfied his hunger, he felt content, not only did his demeanor exude enjoyment, the sky that was previously covered in dark clouds had also cleared up.

A breeze blew by.

A flock of seagulls soared in the sky.

Plop!

A fish leaped out of the water.

On the receding shoreline, crabs scurried about, everything was brimming with life.

"The feeling of being full is so comfortable!"

In the end, Shen Qiang, who didn't even spare the dragon's head, devoured the entire giant dragon.

Then, he lay contentedly on the beach, basking in the sun, smelling the fragrance of flowers that spread around him like the tide.

"Shen Qiang!"

An abrupt shout came, awakening Shen Qiang from his wonderful reverie as if he had been jolted out of a dream.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Qian Shanxue standing barefoot before him with the window behind her open.

"Hey, can't you use the door?" Shen Qiang frowned as he spoke.

Jin Chan had already joyfully leaped into Shen Qiang's arms. "Master, it was really scary just now!"

Shen Qiang was startled.

Just then, Qian Shanxue, who seemed to have a lot to say, furrowed her Liu Mei brows, suddenly looked up, and urgently said, "Come with me!"

No sooner had she spoken, she didn't even give Shen Qiang a chance to react, but grabbed the collar of his shirt.

In the next instant, they were already on the terrace garden.

In the sky, there were still fine drops of rain.

But the churning clouds were slowly dispersing.

At the same time, a black dot was falling rapidly from above.

Shen Qiang looked up at the sky with a somewhat astonished expression.

Meanwhile, Qian Shanxue had already disappeared in a flash, and after what seemed like a full five seconds, she reappeared beside Shen Qiang with a man in his mid-forties in tow.

But at that moment, his clothes looked as if they had been through an explosion, like those of a refugee.

Not only were his clothes in tatters.

His hair looked as if it had been burned, and he was now completely unconscious.

"Save him, quick!" Qian Shanxue urged.

Shen Qiang frowned slightly, but immediately took out a surgical bed from his Storage Ring and placed the middle-aged man on it.

"Fainting is the brain's way of protecting itself, oh, the meridians are damaged, but not severely, electrocution injuries?"

"Part of the clothes have melted, forming severe localized burns."

"There are burns in the respiratory tract."

Listening to Shen Qiang's murmuring, Qian Shanxue grew impatient. "I don't need to hear this, I just need you to save him!"

Shen Qiang frowned as he looked at Qian Shanxue, who was acting out of the ordinary, and said in a deep voice, "What I just described, those are not his fatal injuries. His real fatal injury is that his Qi Sea is shattered."

The Qi Sea is shattered!

Qian Shanxue's eyes widened in shock, and she exclaimed anxiously, "Doesn't that mean his cultivation is ruined?"

"Theoretically speaking, it is." Shen Qiang spoke indifferently.

Qian Shanxue, looking bewildered at Shen Qiang, her eyes turning angry, said, "Theoretically? His entire life's hard work in cultivation is gone, and he is on the brink of death, and now you're discussing theories with me?"

Shen Qiang laughed, and amidst the surging True Yuan, he produced a set of Iron Acupuncture Needles.

"If this had happened before my Foundation Establishment, I would have told you there's no hope. But now, I need to tell you, that this kind of situation is entirely a piece of cake for me."
