Chapter 486: Red Girl (Part 2)

Jasmine had just said that the Myriad-Worlds contained billions of trillions of planets and hundreds of trillions of star realms that existed on higher planes than planets. The Blue Pole Star was merely one of those billions of trillions of ordinary planets; even if it were to be suddenly destroyed, it would be no more significant than a tiny speck of dust vanishing in this vast universe, causing not the slightest ripple. Furthermore, the Blue Pole Star was ninety-seven percent water and three percent land. The Profound Sky Continent, which Profound Sky citizens perceived as incredibly vast, only accounted for one percent of the Blue Pole Star’s total area. In the Myriad-Worlds, it didn't even count as a grain of dust.

In such a colossal world, any kind of bizarre creature could exist.

Creatures that ate anything were also possible!

For example, the red-haired girl before him ate neither pasta nor meat… she was actually eating… Dragon Fault!

Yun Che could, with a tremendous effort, barely accept this point. But… Dragon Fault! Before it broke, it was a Royal Sword! And a Royal Profound Heavy Sword! Yun Che had grown through countless battles with it; it had drunk endless blood, crushed untold rocks, flattened mountains, and shattered countless armors and weapons. Even though it had now lost its spiritual essence and power aura, its toughness would not diminish much. Even with Yun Che's surging strength, he would struggle to damage it with his own power unless he used ice and fire.

As for tearing it with teeth… even if he put his whole heart into it, he wouldn’t be able to leave the slightest mark.

Yet, this little girl, who seemed to have no power aura and found even a pancake too hard to bite, actually bit off a large chunk of Dragon Fault in one bite, and then swallowed it in two or three gulps… swallowed… swallowed it…

“Delicious… so delicious!”

The hungry girl had finally tasted delicious food. Her cheeks flushed with joy, and even her eyes faintly emitted a rippling crimson glow. Impatiently, she took another large bite. With a *crunch*, an even larger piece of Dragon Fault’s blade was bitten off. She swallowed it in another two or three gulps, then directly lifted Dragon Fault to her mouth, opening wide and biting into it sideways like a person gnawing on corn. In a blink of an eye, the blade portion was gnawed into a ragged and pitted mess.

Yun Che finally awoke from his petrified state as if from a dream, letting out a strange yell and lunging forward, snatching the broken Dragon Fault from the little girl who was still devouring it. Seeing the once formidable and peerless blade now chewed into a jagged saw, with not a single intact spot from top to bottom, and covered in glistening saliva, Yun Che's heart nearly bled.

“Ah!! That’s my food… give it back to me!” Her food was suddenly snatched away by Yun Che, and the happily eating little girl immediately became anxious, flailing her arms and stomping her feet as she tried to snatch the broken sword from Yun Che’s hand. Yun Che’s scalp tingled, and his eyes widened as he roared, “Who told you to eat it! It’s Dragon Fault… it’s Dragon Fault! It’s not food!”

“But it clearly is delicious food… quickly, give it back! Give it back!” The little girl jumped, trying to grab it, long strings of saliva still dangling from the corner of her mouth. But her body was too small; no matter how much she jumped, she couldn’t reach the height of Yun Che’s arm. At that moment, she suddenly remembered that there was another piece of deliciousness on the ground. She pouted her lips, instantly gave up on the piece in Yun Che’s hand, and turned to pounce on the other section of the broken sword. Yun Che reacted at the same instant, his heart lurching, and he too swiftly flashed over.

However, his speed was a fraction slower than the girl’s. The girl had already effortlessly picked up the upper half of Dragon Fault’s blade, and then… took off running!

Still trying to run!

A fierce glint appeared in Yun Che's eyes. Though Dragon Fault was broken, there was still a possibility of repairing it. But the lower half was already pitted with teeth marks; even if repaired, holding a Dragon Fault covered in bite marks—what kind of imposing aura would it have then? No matter what, he couldn’t let her chew up the upper half of the blade too!

In his fury, Yun Che unleashed his full speed, but even at his top speed, he found that he couldn't get any closer to her. The little girl dashed wildly, her crimson hair trailing behind her like a long red blur, her speed incredibly extreme. And in her arms, she was still carrying the Dragon Fault, which weighed ten thousand jin.

What… what was happening?!

Yun Che first stared in disbelief, then grew frustrated to the point of exasperation, directly activating "Hades." His speed instantly surged, and in a flash, he caught up behind the little girl. The little girl turned her head, saw Yun Che’s hand almost grasping her hair, and immediately let out a shriek: “Ahhhhh! You can’t take my delicious food! You can’t!”

While shrieking, the little girl’s speed suddenly accelerated in an instant. Her entire body transformed into a streak of crimson light, moving further and further away in Yun Che’s line of sight… leaving Yun Che, who had pushed his speed to the limit, far behind.

Yun Che was utterly dumbfounded.

Not only was the girl’s speed world-shattering and ghost-frightening, but as she ran wildly, she also directly lifted Dragon Fault to her lips and began gnawing at an astonishing pace. Yun Che heard crackling and crunching sounds in his ears. He looked up and realized that in the blink of an eye, nearly half of the broken Dragon Fault had vanished.

At that moment, Yun Che's eyes nearly popped out of his head. The remaining half of the broken sword also couldn't escape the fate of being eaten. He heard *crunch, crunch, crunch*, and another small portion entered the girl's mouth. Her gnawing speed surpassed even her running speed. Then came more *crunch, crunch, crunch* sounds, and the last remaining hilt of Dragon Fault was also devoured completely by her…

Having finished Dragon Fault, the little girl finally stopped running. She abruptly came to a halt, turned around, her cheeks puffed out. As she chewed contentedly, she mumbled indistinctly, “Mmm… all eaten, so yummy… there’s no use chasing me anymore…”

Yun Che also fumbled to a stop, his eyes fixed on the girl’s innocent and satisfied face… his gaze was like one looking at a small monster! Oh no, a giant monster!

The strength to casually pick up a ten-thousand-jin Dragon Fault, the speed that made it impossible for him to catch her no matter how hard he tried… and most importantly, those teeth that could chew Dragon Fault like candy… This seemingly frail little girl, with no life aura and no power aura… what kind of monster was she exactly!

Not to mention the weight of half of Dragon Fault, its volume alone was almost as large as the little girl’s body. Yet, after she had eaten the entire thing, there was no discernible bulge in her stomach… he had no idea where it all went!

However, for Yun Che at that moment, his anger slightly overshadowed his shock. The upper half of Dragon Fault had been completely eaten by the little girl, and the lower half was pitted with bite marks, making it irrevocably beyond repair. But the culprit was, after all, just a young girl with innocent and lively eyes that made it impossible not to adore her. Yun Che simply could not bring himself to harm her. He could only roar in exasperation, “You, you, you… you little… little girl! Didn’t I tell you not to eat it?! It’s not food, it’s my Dragon Fault Sword! It’s something very important to me! How could you eat it?!”

“But it truly is delicious food,” the girl insisted. Yun Che’s loud roar and flushed face made it clear he was genuinely angry. The little girl shrunk her pure white neck slightly and said weakly, “Woo… Big Brother, please don’t be mean to me. It’s just a delicious sword, isn’t it? At worst, I’ll compensate you.”

“What delicious sword? That was Dragon Fault!” Yun Che roared in grief and indignation. “It’s not just a sword, it’s been my companion and friend for many years! It’s the most important thing to me! There’s only one in the entire world! Now that you’ve eaten it, it’s gone forever. How can you compensate for that?!”

He increasingly felt that interfering to save this little girl was truly the biggest mistake of his life. He had only rescued her a short while ago, and not only had he received no recompense, but he had also invited so much trouble… and now she had eaten his Dragon Fault!

The little girl’s neck shrunk again, but a defiant expression appeared on her small face, and she puffed out her nose, saying, “What I’ll compensate you with is far more impressive than what I just ate! Humph!”

Having said that, a ball of crimson light suddenly shone from her body. Within the light, she slowly ascended into the air, her entire figure completely enveloped by the red glow… Immediately after, the red light exploded in the air, then completely vanished.

Yun Che’s eyes widened sharply once more. He estimated he had been shocked more times today alone than in several years combined.

As the crimson light dispersed, the girl’s figure vanished, replaced by a crimson, uniquely shaped greatsword floating in the air before Yun Che!

The sword body was entirely crimson, covered in chaotic deep red patterns, and enveloped by a faint, hazy red glow. The sword body was a full nine feet long, a third larger than Dragon Fault, and this length even exceeded most polearms! The hilt was stout and thick. Above the hilt, the top of the sword body was an astonishing two feet wide. Its width tapered evenly downwards with irregular lines along the sword body, forming an incredibly sharp tip that gleamed with a chilling crimson light at the end.

It was more colossal than both the Overlord’s Greatsword and Dragon Fault. However, unlike the thick ends of the Overlord’s and Dragon Fault, its tip was incredibly sharp, capable of powerful piercing strikes. Yet, setting aside its appearance, this sword had no imposing aura whatsoever… it was lifeless and ordinary, as if forged from the most common iron.

Yun Che’s eyes were wide, and he was dumbfounded. His shock was not due to the sword itself, but because he had just witnessed the little girl transform into it with his own eyes!

The crimson greatsword spun in the air, then descended tip-first in Yun Che’s stark gaze. With a soft thud, its tip deeply embedded itself into the incredibly hard ground below. Even with its tip buried, the upright crimson greatsword towered over Yun Che; his head barely reached its hilt.

Upon its descent, Yun Che noticed a translucent, pale crimson orb, seven to eight inches in diameter, embedded in the center of the sword's widest section, just below the hilt. His gaze fixed on the orb… and within it, he clearly saw the little girl who had vanished!

Her body was now only seven inches long. Though miniaturized, every detail—her clothing, hair color, face, and even her eyes—was perfectly clear. Inside the orb, she stood with her tiny hands on her hips, laughing triumphantly: “Hee hee hee hee! It worked, it worked! I really am amazing! Big brother, did you see? Isn’t this more powerful than your… uh… ‘Farm Fault’ thing?!”

“It’s Dragon Fault!” Yun Che’s voice trembled slightly.
