Douluo Dalu: Starting Evolution as the Man-Faced Demon Spider

The slime being devoured by Fang Chang let out continuous howls, its semi-transparent body writhing in the air in an attempt to escape his control.

But despite its efforts, it was still sucked toward Fang Chang's mouth by an invisible force, and was eventually swallowed whole.

Gulp. Fang Chang swallowed it down, smacked his lips, and turned his gaze toward the remaining slime.

Having witnessed the miserable fate of its companion, the remaining slime had no will to resist. It immediately transformed into a Titan Giant Ape and charged toward the lake surface in a desperate attempt to flee.

Now, all it wanted was to escape as far away as possible from this terrifying monster!

But how could Fang Chang possibly let it go? He opened his mouth again, and a vortex of suction reappeared.

The slime ran ahead, its massive mountain-like hands slapping the water in an effort to propel itself forward.

But behind it, the terrifying suction force continued to drag at its body, pulling it relentlessly toward Fang Chang's gaping maw.

Its struggles merely delayed its inevitable end. In the end, just like its kin, it was swallowed by Fang Chang.

It's been a while since I've eaten such sweet and delicious slime, Fang Chang thought to himself with a satisfied belch.

Above the lake, the battle between the slime army and the gods of the Divine Realm had reached its climax.

Although Gu Yue didn't possess a devouring skill, her enormous size and overwhelming strength more than made up for it.

After smashing a main-god-level slime to pieces, she followed Fang Chang's example—swallowing the smaller slimes that split from it one by one.

As for Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, their approach was far simpler: relying solely on their immense power to butcher the slimes one after another.

With each death, every time a slime's body shattered and split into new ones, their divine power was divided evenly among the new slimes.

This caused their overall strength to rapidly dwindle—from initial main-god level, to that of ordinary Titled Douluo, then to Soul Sage, Soul Ancestor, and finally Soul Master...

In the end, the slime fragments that had nearly lost all their soul power were left to Fang Chang's offspring, those who also had devouring abilities, to clean up in one gulp.

Though the horde of over a million mutated slimes appeared terrifying, only a dozen or so had actually reached god-level power.

The rest, while troublesome, lacked real combat strength or coordinated tactics—little more than a disorderly rabble, incapable of posing any real threat to gods.

Faced with several dozen gods whose power absolutely crushed them, these slimes turned out to be far less resilient than expected.

Once their leaders fell one after another, the rest lost all will to resist. They surged out from the lake and scattered in all directions across the Star Dou Forest, each using whatever tricks they had to flee.

Although Fang Chang's group was overwhelmingly powerful and had slaughtered waves upon waves of slimes, there were simply too many of them—and their pesky "splitting" ability made them hard to eliminate completely.

About half of the slimes were exterminated, but the other half managed to escape their encirclement and continued their retreat outward.

If they weren't thoroughly exterminated this time, it wouldn't be long before they turned into a plague once again!

Fortunately, Fang Chang had already prepared in advance. The gods he had dispatched to intercept the slimes were already in position, forming the first blockade.

As the leading slimes reached the edge of the Star Dou Forest, they ran straight into the intercepting gods. Blasted apart by beams of divine light, they were forcibly split apart.

The slimes behind, seeing their comrades' fate, began to recoil. They weren't stupid—they knew whoever charged forward would be the first to die.

In this disorganized chaos, the slimes lost their best chance to escape. Fang Chang and his team burst out of the Lake of Life and began a merciless massacre of these fleeing creatures.

Some slimes, pressed by the threat behind, had no choice but to charge the outermost perimeter again in desperation.

Others chose to transform into various soul beasts, using their forms' advantages to split up and hide within the Star Dou Forest.

At this point, the gods manning the outer ring faced significant pressure. The slime assault wasn't evenly spread—some areas had only a few, while others had thousands swarming in.

Even in the less-threatened zones, the stationed gods didn't dare leave their posts lightly, only offering distant support to their comrades when possible.

Under this strain, a few slimes did manage to breach the defensive line and escape beyond the forest.

But then Fang Chang's second line of defense came into play.

These were gods sent later from the Divine Realm, who had been watching from the skies, waiting for Fang Chang's telepathic signal.

Once they received the message, they split into six groups and charged toward the six directions with the highest slime concentrations.

But rather than reinforce the first line of defense, they bypassed it and intercepted the slimes that had already broken through—forming a second, tighter blockade.

The slimes that had barely managed to break out found themselves facing an even stronger second barrier. Their morale shattered instantly—they gave up all resistance and were wiped out by the gods.

This round of breakout attempts lasted about ten minutes. After the first wave of slime surges, the number of those crashing against the lines quickly dropped, then nearly vanished.

Only then did Fang Chang order the second-line gods to return to aerial standby.

As for himself, he activated a long-unused skill—"Hunting Instinct."

This time, he directly locked onto the slimes. Instantly, the locations of hundreds of thousands of slimes across the Star Dou Forest appeared in his mind.

If not for the fact that he was now a God King, with mental strength powerful enough, this sheer volume of data would have made his brain explode.

Without bothering to confirm whether these were ordinary slimes or mutated ones modified by the Goddess of Life, Fang Chang ordered his gods to attack all their locations indiscriminately.

Countless beams of divine light rained down across the Star Dou Forest, followed by gods swooping down to devour the shattered remnants.

Some of the sharper-witted mutated slimes realized that even hiding in the forest wouldn't save them from Fang Chang's pursuit. So they tried again to breach the outer defenses, hoping to initiate a second slime wave.

But this time, lacking the scale and with their positions more scattered, they didn't even make it to the second defense line—those guarding the first line were enough to wipe them out.

The slaughter continued for three full days.

Finally, when Fang Chang's "Hunting Instinct" no longer detected a single slime presence, the operation came to a close.
