WHOOSH!

Lu Cang lifted his hand, and hundreds of thousands of souls flowed into the sea.

SWOOSH—

As these souls entered the Secret Sea, it was as if they had truly sunk to the bottom of the ocean, vanishing without a sound.

’Can souls really enter the Secret Sea?’

This feeling... it was like the souls were being sacrificed. They weren’t just passing through; they were being devoured whole.

It felt as if it was both enhancing the demons and being offered as a sacrifice to the dungeon...

Truly bizarre.

Unfortunately, there was no reaction at all.

’I wonder what would happen if I increased the dose?’

Lu Cang didn’t act rashly. Instead, he immediately performed a Divination on himself, his gaze piercing through layer after layer of fog...

He saw it—a giant whirlpool.

BUZZ—

The next second, Lu Cang’s mind returned to his body.

’Sigh, I can’t see much.’

A Level 1 Prophet’s Divination ability was limited, after all. Right now, he could only see rather blurry fragments of the future.

Furthermore, the more important the subject of the Divination, the blurrier the vision, the more Spirituality it consumed, and the shorter the glimpse would be.

’I could, however, use Future Preview to see what’s about to happen.’

’But using it just for this would be too much of a waste.’

’It’d be better to just try making a sacrifice the next time I’m passing the Secret Sea during a Future Preview.’

But for now...

Lu Cang looked to the north.

’I’ve rested long enough...’

With a casual lift of his hand, Lu Cang sent out a Spatial Slash, carving off several chunks of bloody flesh from the demon.

’I wonder if the meat from these fish-like demons is any good.’

The meat of many demons was edible. Chronoa’s restaurant even had a whole menu dedicated to them.

There were even people in this world called Gourmet Hunters, who specialized in hunting demons and searching for the most delicious ones on the planet.

Legend told of a Warrior who could unleash exceptionally sharp and immensely powerful Qi Blades with his bare hands.

He was an incredibly strong Gourmet Hunter.

His Kicking Skill was also exceptional, and he was apparently known as Ah Lu the "Blackfoot."

He was supposedly searching for a dungeon called "Divine Delicacy," which was said to contain the world’s most delicious demons.

’...Wait, really?’

’Am I actually just a background character for the protagonist of a gourmet anime?’

Spatial Transfer instantly teleported the huge chunk of fish meat before his eyes. Fire Magic flared, heating the entire piece from the inside out all at once.

This prevented any issues with uneven cooking.

At the same time, he popped a piece of the raw fish into his mouth...

Parasites did exist in this world, but with everyone’s formidable Constitution and the existence of the Life Hall, getting sick from food was basically unheard of.

The moment the fish entered his mouth, a rich, fatty aroma from the tender meat filled his senses. With a light bite, sweet, clear juices burst forth.

Its blood was surprisingly a fragrant, sweet liquid.

As the meat slid down his throat, a sweet aftertaste lingered, enveloping his mouth and esophagus and rising up through his nose and palate.

Delicious!

’What’s this demon called?’

’Whatever... I’ll just toss it in my Storage Space and take it back with me. Good thing the storage container from the Cold Church has a preservation effect.’

Lu Cang then looked at the cooked piece of fish in his hand.

The simple act of heating it had released an incredibly rich aroma.

The bright red flesh had turned white, yet it remained tender and firm.

Lu Cang put it into his mouth.

"Holy shit!"

His Magic Power surged uncontrollably, causing his shirt to burst apart!

Lu Cang now understood why the Gourmet Hunter profession existed.

Some things were truly worth pursuing!

...

Having refueled with the delicious meal, he considered his rest complete.

The fatigue from flying for six consecutive hours was completely swept away. He stored the remains of the delicious demon he had slain in his Storage Space.

Lu Cang then continued on his way north.

The sun gradually descended, eventually sinking below the horizon.

Then, a full moon gradually appeared in the sky.

It didn’t rise from the horizon, but rather materialized high in the sky, as if emerging from invisibility.

Lu Cang looked at the surface of the Secret Sea. Sure enough, it didn’t reflect the moon.

So the rumor that only the Moon Sea reflects the moon was true.

Night had fallen by the time Lu Cang finally landed on the Zuoyu Continent, his feet planted firmly on the coast.

In his previews, he had set foot on one continent after another.

But this was the first time his actual, physical body had set foot on a new continent.

It was about 6 PM.

The time in Lu Cang’s preview, however, had been after midnight.

To avoid any unexpected changes, it was best to retrieve the treasures from those few Churches at the same time as he did in the simulation.

With a few flashes of movement, Lu Cang arrived near a mountain range.

Of course, taking things from the Restrictions of those few Churches wasn’t the only thing he had done during the preview.

Taking everything had only been a matter of seconds for him.

The preview had lasted a full twenty-four hours.

During those twenty-four hours, Lu Cang had also explored the entire continent. Right now, before him, was a stronghold of the Death Church.

BOOM!

Almost instantaneously, the mountain rock before him cracked and split apart!

The stronghold was utterly blown apart!

Fresh blood splattered, mixing with the flying shards of rock.

Lu Cang’s right hand gripped the Void Spirit Star Ring Battle Spear. Normally, he wouldn’t even need to draw his Magic Staff to deal with enemies of this caliber.

But this wasn’t a preview. Lu Cang was using his full strength, like a lion hunting an ant.

After the mountain rock exploded, a figure tried to ascend into the sky!
