“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained the Succubus’ lace organza skirt!”
“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained the Skeleton Soldiers’ will-o’-the-wisp!”
“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained the divine beast Tricannon Pig’s carcass!”
“A divine beast carcass?”
Rather taken aback, Meng Lei quickly brought out the divine beast carcass.
Boom!
It instantly blasted the hall apart...

Boom!
The grand, extravagant hall was instantly filled beyond its bursting point and blasted apart, implicating the other surrounding halls in the imperial palace, too.
Dust and earth flew about as great explosions rang out.
An enormous pig with a golden-yellow mane appeared out of thin air amongst the halls in the imperial palace.
Standing at 10,000-meters-tall and measuring 100,000-feet-long, its huge ears were like great tents that blotted out the sky and its savage fangs like iron spikes.
The most amazing thing was that a terrifying wave of divine power was emanating from the enormous pig and pounding against the hearts of the Imperial City’s residents.
Boom!
Everyone felt incredibly unwell. It was as if their hearts were clenched tightly in someone else’s hand.
“O’ Dragon God above!”
“What exactly is happening?”
Fear and trepidation filled their hearts, making them alarmed and uneasy.
“Divine power!”
“This is divine power!”
“It’s coming from the imperial palace!”
Puhaman and Thaniel’s countenances, who were in the midst of their tasks, changed drastically, and they quickly flew toward the imperial palace.
“That... That’s...”
The two of them gasped.
What fearsome divine power!
What an enormous body!
That was definitely a deity-class Magical Beast!
“O’ dragon god above! That’s a divine beast!”
“O’ lord of Hades! What have I just seen?”
The two half-deities were utterly stunned.
“Feh! Feh!”
The sound of someone spitting rang out, causing the two of them to look over in surprise. Then, they saw Meng Lei climbing out of the ruins. He was covered in dust and dirt, so his appearance was in somewhat of a pathetic state.
“M-master?”
Puhaman and Thaniel were dumbfounded.
“What the hell? To think the carcass of this Tricannon Pig or whatever you call it is so huge! What an error in judgment I’ve made!”
Meng Lei rose into the air and sized up the 10,000-feet-long divine beast carcass. Rather lost for words, he exclaimed, “What a huge pig. How long is that going to last me?”
“My esteemed Master, is this divine beast carcass yours?” asked an astonished Puhaman and Thaniel, who had flown over to Meng Lei.
“That’s right. Didn’t the price of pork go up recently? So I bought one to try the taste.”
Meng Lei nodded slightly. Then, he asked, “Do you want to bring some back and make some sausages or something?”
“We mustn’t, we mustn’t! This is a divine beast carcass. How would we possibly dare to eye it?”
The pair hastily waved in response. However, they could barely hide the longing and greed in their eyes.
Divine beast meat—it was totally a great source of nourishment. Disregarding the taste, just the price alone was already beyond measure.
If they could have even a piece of it, their strength would totally undergo rapid growth.
“I can’t finish it by myself, so you guys can have some too.”
A Dimensional Blade abruptly manifested and instantly cleaved down on the Tricannon Pig’s tail with a wave.
Clink!
Sparks flew amidst sounds of metal colliding against each other, yet the divine pig’s tail actually stayed well and intact.
“What the! It’s that tough?”
Meng Lei couldn’t help but gasp. Then, the Gods-Slaying Spear appeared in his hand, and he jabbed it at the pig.
It was only then that the several hundred meters-long pigtail suddenly broke at the base with a splurt.
“Done!”
Meng Lei retracted the Gods-Slaying Spear and said, “You can take the tail and use it for sausages.”
“Master, is that... really alright?”
The pair swallowed repeatedly.
“Take it!”
Meng Lei tossed the pigtail over. Then, he flew on top of the Tricannon Pig and began to ponder over where he should start eating it from. Owing to how hard and tough the pig’s divine body was, it was hard for him to even start tackling it.
“Thank you, my noble Master!”
The pair gave up the pretentious act at the sight, and then with one person on each side, they picked up the pigtail and immediately ran off, lest Meng Lei went back on his word if they lagged behind for even a moment.
As they ran, Meng Lei’s voice also traveled over from afar. “Don’t just focus on eating the pork. Get the job done well, too.”
“Yes, yes!”
“Seriously, those buffoons...”
The divine pork was indeed hard to tackle. The meat was extremely tender and pliable, making it extremely difficult to even slice it. The Gods-Slaying Spear was more suited to piercing, so it showed rather poor results at slicing the meat.
Meng Lei tried various tools on it, but he couldn’t even slice through the divine pig’s skin.
In the end, he picked up a random blood-colored machete, and then he actually sliced apart the tender pork with a single slash.
“Is this knife that sharp?”
Meng Lei was astonished. “If memory serves me right, this knife is something that I’ve only just picked up recently?”
“System, what’s the name of this knife?”
“Dear host, this is the Abyss Blade Demon’s companion machete,” replied the system coldly.
“The Abyss Blade Demon’s companion machete!”
Meng Lei was thrilled. He hadn’t thought much of it when he had first picked it up and had thought it to be some kind of trash. Little did he know that it would turn out to be that sharp. He was the one that hadn’t recognized it for what it was worth instead.
“What a good machete!”
Meng Lei was in a fantastic mood. With one, two, three cuts, he easily disemboweled the divine pig...
Then,
