Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1227

1227 Insatiable Hunger

"Why… Why won't you die?!" The Eater of Stars grew increasingly frustrated when she could not seem to kill Tian Yi despite putting in serious effort.

"You seem to be in a hurry to kill me. Why? Aren't you having fun? Let's keep this up for another hundred years at the very least, Eater of Stars!" Tian Yi laughed out loud.

"A hundred years? I don't have that kind of time to play with you!" Eater of Stars roared in a furious voice.

"No time? That's one of the silliest things an immortal entity such as yourself could say since time is all we have."

"You have no idea!"

"Then why don't you educate me? Who knows? Maybe I might even lower my guard, as I am easily distracted."

The Eater of Stars frowned at his obvious provocation, but she didn't seem to have any other choice, as it might really take her a hundred years if not more to deal with him if they continued at this rate.

Several years have gone by since the beginning of their conflict, and the Eater of Stars could feel its relentless hunger intensifying within, slowly driving her toward a state of madness. If she doesn't deal with Tian Yi quickly and continues to consume stars, she will be tormented by her insatiable hunger.

Eventually, the Eater of Stars began speaking in a reluctant tone, "Can you imagine the relentless ache of perpetual hunger, an insatiable yearning that refuses to subdue no matter the quantity consumed? Throughout the expanse of my existence since the Primordial Era, I have remained a stranger to the sensation of a contented stomach."

"Countless stars have succumbed to my insatiable appetite, yet I can only keep my hunger barely satisfied enough to where it won't drive me completely mad."

"I have traveled the starry sky for millions of years in search of something that could satisfy my hunger but to no avail. I have dried out rivers of Celestial Water, consumed all sorts of treasures— there is almost nothing in this world that I haven't consumed, yet my hunger remains unsatisfied."

"I want to stop and rest, but I fear that my hunger will get out of control if I sleep— if I can even sleep properly with this constant hunger. That's right. I have never even had a proper sleep. The only thing I can do is continue moving and consuming everything in my path."

"..." Tian Yi was left speechless by the Eater of Star's situation.

Even Feng Yuming and the Dragon Goddess were baffled by it. They always thought that the Eater of Stars was acting out of instinct and had no reason for its actions— that it was a natural calamity without emotions or thoughts. Neither of them could've anticipated this sort of truth, and they couldn't help but pity the Eater of Stars.

"I understand now… So that is the source of your anguish… What a terrible way of life… And to think that you've been living like this since the Primordial Era…" Tian Yi was not prepared to learn such a truth and did not know how to respond or react. _{frёeweɓηovel.coɱ}

While Tian Yi was deep in his thoughts, the Eater of Stars saw this as a chance to put an end to their farce and attacked without any warning.

"Wake up, you idiot!" Dragon Goddess Yeyou's voice suddenly rippled in the starry sky, snapping Tian Yi out of his daze.

But it was too late, and the Eater of Stars landed a direct hit on Tian Yi the following moment, sending him flying.
