Chapter 210: Chapter 210: Beyond Expectations
Blood stained Eren's lips as he sank his teeth into Li Yunfeng's heart. With each bite, he felt like his body was changing.
His body was absorbing something from the heart that was consumed by him. What his body absorbed wasn't merely the heart but the life essence of Li Yunfeng.
Eren swallowed the bite, feeling a strange chill spread throughout his body. His eyes glowed a frosty blue for an instant before reverting to their usual hue.
The taste was somewhat metallic, bitter, yet oddly addicting. He soon consumed the heart in its entirety, leaving only the blood stains in his hand.
For a brief moment, he felt cold when he consumed the heart. However, after that there was no such thing. If anything, he felt as if his surroundings had grown warmer.
He was walking on the frosty hallway of the frozen palace, but even then, he couldn't feel the slightest bit of cold. It was akin to his body being accustomed to bear the cold for some reason.
"Cleanse."
He used the Dragon Tongue, cleaning his body of all the blood stains. His hands and lips that were stained with blood until a few moments ago became cleaner as if they had never touched any blood at all.
"Identify..."
Next, he used Identification on himself to see how his body had changed. He wasn't even sure if there was anything worth stealing from Li Yunfeng.
From what he had known, Devourer could only steal the heroic bloodlines from the ones he devoured. People in the Eastern Continent didn't have the bloodlines so he wasn't sure if he even received anything worth his effort.
The only change he was certain about was that his level had increased when he killed Li Yunfeng.
Soon, the status screen opened before him and he started paying attention.

"Hmm?"
Eren went through his status screen, receiving one surprise after the other.
He didn't hold much expectations, which was why he was even more surprised when he saw the changes. Just as he expected, he didn't receive any bloodline, but he received a physique.
"Lunar Frost Physique... If I'm not wrong, this is what Li Yunfeng had. I see. So Devourer can't just steal Bloodlines but also special physiques?"
He also noticed another peculiar thing. He had received a skill as well. It wasn't any skill that Li Yunfeng had learned in the first place.
It was a skill that Li Yunfeng was born with, along with his physique. It was more like a companion skill to his physique.
Another thing that he couldn't ignore were his stats. Almost all his stats had increased by six to seven times.
This was something he already expected, but not to this extent. When compared to cultivation, every ten levels were considered a major realm.
The gain one received from passing through a major realm was more than going from one minor stage to another minor stage.
Previously, he was only level 19, but now he was level 25. He had crossed the wall of 20th level. Just five more levels to gain and he could cross another major stage, multiplying his stats again.
'Strange... At this rate, won't my stats surpass Xiu Ying if I just gain five more levels?'
He was quite intrigued by his stats. Even with sealed cultivation, his growth was quite fast.
As per his system's interpretation, Xiu Ying was equivalent to a level fifty player. Which means she had crossed the fifth wall.
Meanwhile, he had only crossed the second wall. One more wall and he could be comparable to her. It meant when he was Level 31, just based on his stats alone, he could face a Level 50 person like Xiu Ying?
If he was to add his artifacts in the mix, he could be even more confident.
'At that rate, what if I reach Level 50?' He wondered, his expressions looking somewhat uncertain.
There was one more thing he was looking forward to. It was the Pendant of Prediction.
He had completed the option, but he hadn't received the reward yet. Just like the Pendant of Poison, this reward was also a little slower to arrive.
After a while, he sighed as he controlled his excitement. For now, he had other things to focus on.
Eren left the Palace of the Frost Demon. Not even the guards of Li Yunfeng knew that he had been killed already. They were protecting the palace, unaware that they had already failed.
Not only did Eren enter, but he left with just as much stealth as ever, all thanks to the Dragon Tongue.
Eren soon reached his next destination, which was the courtyard of the Main Character.
As Li Yunfeng favored Ye Liang, he gave him a courtyard in a separate area of the mountain where no one could disturb his most precious disciple's training.
He also assigned a few guards along the way to keep his disciples safe.
Strangely enough, none of those guards could be seen anywhere at the moment.
There were places where it looked like the snow was dug up and something big buried in that place.
Only one pair of footsteps could be seen walking away from that place in the direction of Ye Liang's courtyard.
Eren gazed at the courtyard, which again made him realize how poor he was as a master.
The courtyard where Ye Liang lived looked extremely luxurious, and more importantly Ye Liang didn't have to make it himself.
"My dear system, I'm about to finish the lore of the main character. It is a significant point in the history of the Eastern Continent. Isn't it about time you have some nice options with rewards?"
For a moment, he waited outside the courtyard, waiting for the options to appear. Strangely enough, no options appeared.
In the end, he gave up on trying to get rewards for something he was about to do in any case. He stepped forward and entered the courtyard.
The moment his foot first landed in Ye Liang's courtyard, a red screen appeared in front of him.
"See? You can be quite good when you want to be." Seeing the screen, Eren's lips crept up.
