656 Predicament III

Amidst the ruins.

The entrance to the Interaction Zone began to slowly twist and writhe, like a television screen with an unclear signal, flickering erratically.

Suddenly, two figures shot out from the middle and landed lightly on the ground to one side.

The figures of the Moon God and the Jade Pavilion were revealed.

Jade Pavilion held a golden amber-like gemstone in her hand and tossed it gently.

"We collected a total of 32 units of God Marrow from the Gods and Buddhas and living beings inside, which is not bad."

The Moon God remained silent to the side.

Having been in this team for so long, he has also gained some understanding of many basic, common-sense units.

The God Marrow is the food and consumables that these Gods and Buddhas need.

Whether it's the Heart Burning Furnace or daily activities, the energy they need can be extracted from the God Marrow.

This thing is a collection, a condensed form of countless brain marrow.

Within that Interaction Zone, there were at least tens of millions of living beings and dozens of Gods and Buddhas. All the brain marrow extracted from them was the God Marrow in the Jade Pavilion's hands.

He witnessed countless people die, Gods and Buddhas struggle desperately, but they were still easily set on fire and harvested by the Jade Pavilion.

"The Interaction Zone is like a seed that has been planted. We are just here to harvest the fruit when the time comes." Seeing that the Moon God was in a bad mood, Laf smiled and offered a few words of comfort.

"We've been wandering around here for quite a while now, shouldn't we head back to the Perpetual Palace? Our supplies are running low," Heart Fusion interjected.

"Alright." Laf smiled and nodded. "Then let's go to one last place."

"Oh? Where to?" Heart Fusion seemed interested, guessing what was going on.

"Moon, take us to the Interaction Zone you came out of. With your strength, it should be at least a large Interaction Zone, and we should gain quite a bit." Laf's eyes were burning as he stared intently at the taciturn Moon God.

"It's already destroyed." The Moon God's heart tightened. He felt an instinctive unease and didn't want to take the three of them with him.

Even though he didn't care much about the gods and humans in his Interaction Zone, it was still his homeland.

He witnessed Jade Pavilion destroy an Interaction Zone with tens of millions of people in just over ten minutes.

A simple calculation is enough to know.

What would happen if we took them to their own Interaction Zone?

"Now that you've come out, there's no going back. You might as well turn everything from the past into your own accumulation, and then go to the Perpetual Palace to find a suitable Heart Burning Furnace," Laf advised.

"It's already destroyed, and I can't actually find it." The Moon God narrowed her eyes slightly.

"I've already said it once. I don't want to say it a second time." Laf's smile slowly turned cold.

"If you don't want to talk, then don't." The Moon God was no pushover after all, and now that she was being forced, her face darkened.

He had roamed the Great Ling Realm for hundreds of years and had never been threatened like this before.

"It seems we'll eventually have to prioritize within the team."

Laf seemed to have been waiting for this day to come.

He ripped off his outer robe, revealing his strong upper body wrapped in black bandages.

Her gray hair fluttered gently in the wind.

"Those who come from large Interaction Zone certainly have an air of arrogance. But they should be careful who they're dealing with!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure vanished from the spot with a bang.

A piercing shriek suddenly exploded in the air.

In an instant, he appeared beside the Moon God as if in a flash, and struck her with a palm.

Although the speed was fast, it was not impossible to react in time.

A flash of Blue Light appeared in the Moon God's pupils, and the power belonging to Spirit Flight Heaven surged and activated within her body.

Countless dense Spirit Thread quickly adhered to the palm of his right hand, strengthening it, and he met the opponent's palm strike head-on.

Buzz!!

Both palms meet at the same time.

Ripples of air emanated from the two people and continued to spread and explode outwards.

Within a radius of hundreds of meters, all the debris on the ground jumped up at once, as if it had been violently shaken by a huge shock.

"Not bad basic qualities." Laf pressed down with one hand, the immense force pushing Moon God downwards until her legs sank into the ground.

"But without Kamui, you haven't yet learned how to fight in reality."

His face was slightly close to the Moon God, and tiny black dots kept flashing in his eyes.

"Then let me see where your confidence comes from?" The Moon God's expression remained unchanged. He was determined to thoroughly understand Laf's strength this time.

Besides his divine might, he also possesses a martial arts aspect that belongs to Yue Dewen and himself.

The so-called Twelve Talisman Art of the Great Dao Sect are new martial arts that he had long ago refined, modified, and re-spread.

After all, Yujing Hanshi Celestial Lord was originally a sub-identity he designed to conceal the Spirit Flight Heaven system architecture.

Puff.

A force forcibly separated the two, creating distance between them.

In an instant, the Moon God's back bulged rapidly, and flesh solidified into a moon-white disc.

Twelve different Talisman Art and blue symbols automatically appeared on the disc.

"Interesting." A black and red flame lit up on Laf's chest. The flames instantly engulfed his entire body.

Boom! Flames exploded, and a colossal figure, five meters tall, broke through everything, wielding two serrated weapons in its hands, charging straight toward the Moon God.

The figure had sharp bull horns on its head, and its face was covered by a black horn Helmet. From the outside, you could not see its facial features, only a black and red flowing lava.

Apart from that, the rest of Laf's body was covered in Black Armor.

The gaps in the armor were filled with flowing magma, as if its body was composed entirely of magma.

"The Martial Arts Diagram I practice is the Black Sand Yama Path, which is extremely compatible with my own. Although it is not one of the strongest techniques in the Perpetual Palace, it can still amplify my all-around qualities by at least twelve times in a short period of time."

"So, you've still decided to fight me?" he asked one last time.

"Then let me try. How much can a twelve-fold increase achieve?" The Moon God remained unfazed.

The Enemy Anticipation has been fully launched.

He had experienced the power of the Heart Burning Furnace once before, and this time, he intended to understand it in its entirety.

"You've got guts!" Laf walked forward step by step. The places he stepped on were automatically burned by the extreme heat, leaving behind charred smoke.

"So."

Lava gushed out rapidly from the gaps in his body.

The magma twisted and shaped, quickly forming arms and tentacles.

Some of the tentacles even sprouted hideous red-gold eyeballs at their tips, blinking as they gazed at the Moon God from all angles.

"We can begin."

Laugh!!

In an instant, dozens of arms and tentacles shot out simultaneously.

Everything around seemed to slow down.

Space and time seemed to stand still at this moment.

The Moon God could clearly see the ripples in the air that the tentacles and arms pierced before they charged forward.

Those dense, rippled patterns formed a towering wall of air that pressed down on him.

Without the amplification of divine power, there's simply no time to dodge at that speed.

Boom!!

The ground exploded, and a huge gap was torn open in the ruins and black soil within a radius of more than ten meters.

Amidst the flying mud and explosions, the Moon God's arms were covered with countless Black Spirit Thread, swiftly deflecting the tentacles and hands that kept flying towards her.

Pfft.

However, without Kamui, his speed and power are far inferior to Laf's burst of power.

Even in terms of martial arts realm, his opponent was no worse than him.

Even when predictions match each other, he has no advantage whatsoever.

Within seconds, wounds began to appear on his body.

Those were wounds from skin being cut open by tentacles that couldn't be dodged in time.

Whether it's the martial arts of the Great Dao Sect or the martial arts of the Moon God Sensing Gate, all the moves he used at this moment faced a huge problem.

Without the combination of divine power and momentum, these techniques naturally reveal huge flaws in certain aspects.

Even though he has rested a lot during this period, the lack of momentum and divine power has weakened the power of his martial arts.

"It's over."

Laf raised his right hand.

More than ten tentacles on its body intertwined and merged into a bundle, sweeping across.

Whoosh! The tentacle instantly extended to twenty meters, transforming into the sharpest blade, slicing out a large fan-shaped area horizontally, and then stopping abruptly in front of the Moon God's nose, who was unable to dodge in time.

The entire exchange lasted no more than twenty seconds. Laf even acted as if it were a game, casually throwing punches.

The result was remarkably clear.

"Do you understand?" Laf withdrew his hand, his voice coming from beneath his armor.

You have no choice.

The Moon God was breathing heavily and did not answer.

He turned around and glanced at the ground behind him.

Behind him, on the black earth, a wide, bottomless crack appeared out of nowhere, its edges burning and emitting black smoke.

That was the residue left by Laf's final blow.

He didn't even realize how his opponent made their move. Although he himself had a trump card up his sleeve, it seemed that even if he unleashed it, his ultimate fate would likely be certain death.

'We must forge our own furnace as soon as possible!' The Moon God finally felt a longing for the Heart Burning Furnace.

Everything outside the Sky Curtain was far too restrictive. His power was more than half that inside the Sky Curtain.

"Lead the way." Heart Fusion clapped her hands from the side. "It's a large Interaction Zone. We might find a new Martial Arts Diagram and make a fortune."

*** Great Abyss, the Sea of Forgetfulness.

On a certain rock face, from a distance, it looks as if a huge dark red bat is crouching.

A flock of red birds circled around the bat, each carrying something in its beak.

Most of these things are gray and black, but they come in all sorts of shapes and sizes.

Weapons, equipment, books, miscellaneous items, clothes, even some broken tableware, children's toys, and so on—there was everything.

The giant bat reached out and began taking things from the birds' beaks. Then, a flash of black light appeared on its hand, dissolving the objects into blackish-blue crystals of varying sizes.

All the crystals were thrown directly into its mouth, chewed and eaten like candy beans.

The bat is Zhang Rongfang.

He has been here for five days.

For the past five days, he has been retrieving items from the Sea of Forgetfulness every moment, searching for possible clues and solutions.

He would discard useful items and extract the Spirit Core from useless ones, absorbing them himself.

Instead of applying it to his forehead for absorption as White Scale initially suggested, he found that chewing it up and eating it directly resulted in faster absorption.

After all, he can control the blood to directly absorb nutrients.

Chewing the food effectively increases the surface area of the food being absorbed, which naturally leads to faster absorption.

Finally, he refined this batch of miscellaneous items into Spirit Core and consumed them all at once.

Zhang Rongfang could clearly feel that his body had grown larger again.

A strong consciousness and spirit bring greater and stronger control over flesh and blood.

His physical body is capable of rapidly expanding as his flesh and blood accumulate.

Therefore, such a change is considered normal.

After swallowing all the remaining food, Zhang Rongfang looked down at the black sea below.

There, a massive black whale was slowly rising to the surface, its back bearing a twisted, pained human face that stared at him with longing.

"Do you also want to become one with me?" Zhang Rongfang suddenly asked.

The human-faced black whale trembled slightly, then quickly sank and disappeared into the sea.
