Within a few short breaths' worth of time the demonic self manages to devour a staggering number of practitioners.
The results of having devoured so many practitioners cause the essence of life that flows from the demonic self's body to increase in strength as it slowly overwhelms the essence of death that shows a small hint of subsiding.
Having a few easy feasts within a large feeding ground is to be expected but as one might expect this didn't last forever as numerous practitioners chose to put as much distance as possible from the demonic self.
Not a single person would want to be in a group with another under these circumstances unless they are in the midst of a heated battle.
The shortage of individuals within a group effectively slows the demonic self's rate of recovery as he must spend extra time and effort on chasing down the scattered practitioners.
To make matters more difficult for the demonic self the four enemies from before had decided to give chase as they disregard the injuries that they had incurred from the howls of the Passionless Demonic Moon's enactment.
With four powerful enemies in pursuit of him the demonic self's sense of anxiousness is raised as he busies himself with hunting down more practitioners.
[...]
The moment in which the demonic self sees a practitioner in the far distance his eyes flash with a light of viciousness as he approaches them quickly.
Appearing behind the back of that practitioner the demonic self immediately raises his right hand to grab them by the neck as he draws in a deep breath of air.
"...Uh!"
This single breath of the demonic self causes the practitioner that he had just captured to tremble.
Almost as if the flows of time had sped up for him the youthful appearance of the practitioner turns older and older until he becomes a wrinkled skinned elder. At the same time his soul is also on the verge of being pulled out of his physical body.
The process in which the demonic self had pulled the practitioner's soul out of their physical body didn't take very long and in the next instance he devours the soul causing his essence of life to increase in strength once more.
Pungent air of dark coloration exudes from the pores of the demonic self's body as the poison from before is slowly being expelled from within.
The moment that practitioner's soul is devoured the withered corpse in the demonic self's right hand is reduced into ashes.
[...]
Looking down at his right hand that has a bit of skin covering it now the demonic self's eyes gives off a gleam of coldness.
Without staying put for long the demonic self continues to repeat his actions of devouring the souls and vitalities of the practitioners that he comes across.
With each practitioner devoured the more powerful the essence of life that flows from the demonic self's body becomes as it slowly overwhelms the essence of death.
As more and more practitioners are devoured by him with his conditions turning for the better the demonic self's sense of anxiousness is gradually lowered.
But almost as soon as this happens the figure of Xuan Nuo appears in the distance.
[Tch.]
Seeing the armored figure of Xuan Nuo in the distance the demonic self abruptly stops in his tracks as he begins to move towards the side.
With the current state of his body the demonic self knew that a single strike of Xuan Nuo's would instantaneously erased his very existence without leaving a single trace behind.
