My Devouring System: I Eat Monsters for Powers

Dropped into a harsh world where spiritual energy revived and monstrous beasts roam, Qiu Lingfeng, a powerless transmigrator, faces a humiliating fate. Deemed talentless and a failure, he's forced onto a mandatory 'awakening patrol' – a village-sanctioned death sentence for the weak. Mocked by shallow classmates and overshadowed by the few 'geniuses,' he’s just fodder, expected to die or return disfigured like countless others. But when a terrifying Black Ice Snake lunges, pushing him to the brink, a dormant voice screams: [Devouring System Activated!]. Instantly, he absorbs the slain monster's essence, gaining its chilling 'Frozen Sky Eyes' and rocketing his cultivation to the Tongmai Realm. Every fallen beast is now a gruesome meal, granting him unimaginable power, unique talents, and shortcuts past years of grueling training. The world sees a helpless victim, but Qiu Lingfeng is now a secret powerhouse, silently stockpiling monstrous abilities. Can he rise to the apex without revealing the terrifying truth of his power, or will his insatiable hunger for strength transform him into something more monstrous than the beasts he devours?
