Who! Would! Devour! Whom!
"An earthquake?"
Yu Chengzong and Li Qiuhua, panting, looked at the long street that looked as if it had been bombarded by heavy artillery.
The road ahead had completely collapsed, and water from an underground river deep underground would occasionally splash against it, causing waves to break and foam to rise to the surface.
At this moment, the entire shattered street was trembling again and again.
Yu Chengzong, panting heavily, glanced at the lacerated wound in his abdomen, then pulled Li Qiuhua and stumbled into a relatively intact supermarket.
He crashed into the shelf, half-collapsed on the ground, his face still showing bitterness and disbelief.
"Yes, it's the action team."
Li Qiuhua swayed slightly and said in a somewhat dry voice:
"Could it be... could it be a fake?"
She herself couldn't believe it when she said this—ten enormous spaceships were currently hovering in the ten directions of the sky!
Within the Investigation Bureau,
The advance team, led by Martial Arts Master, acted as scouts, responsible for gathering information and intelligence and determining the cult's movements.
The action team, on the other hand, was responsible for 'extermination'.
The team was led by a master, consisting of ten groups of one hundred people each, and served by an entire spaceship.
Old Yu coughed up blood and gave a bitter laugh:
"The Western Sect, an evil cult, only wants to limit the scope of its Divine Descent to the Lower-Level District."
He murmured absentmindedly:
"The envoy who personally visited the High Envoy discovered that the Flesh and Blood Plague was spreading in other districts, and he sent us to investigate and contain its spread."
Li Qiuhua slumped to the ground, lit a cigarette, Divine Path:
"As it turned out, it was the action team, the Anti-Cult Investigation Bureau, that spread the plague."
She wasn't injured, but her face was deathly pale, as if the beliefs she had held onto for many years had suddenly collapsed.
Old Yu didn't speak, but let out a deep breath. Just now, while they were investigating the spread of the plague in the Upper-Level District and the Mid-Level District...
I saw spaceships and team members descending from the sky.
The two wanted to recognize each other and exchange information, but...
As soon as he revealed his identity, he was hunted down by three or four action teams!
"Jiangzhou, Investigation Bureau, Federation."
Old Yu spoke with a bitter expression:
"At least Old Zhang survived, and Little Fusheng should be in the Waiting Area by now, right?"
Li Qiuhua's face twitched:
"Not necessarily."
"All communication with areas outside Jiangzhou has been cut off. Do you think airports and train stations can't be left unsealed?"
Yu Chengzong gave a bitter laugh.
The earth began to tremble again, and faint muffled thuds came from the collapsed section of the road not far away.
"Something's not right." The two men's expressions suddenly changed, and they curled up as much as possible—they saw a group of action team members coming after them!
"The last traces were around here. Where are they?" the team leader said in a low voice, his gaze sweeping across the area, the ground trembling slightly.
"An earthquake?" A team member frowned, pointing to the opening in the hole. "Could they have taken shelter inside?"
The team leader pondered for a moment:
"Let's go! Let's go down and take a look!"
Eleven people approached deep space and looked down. It was pitch black, and they couldn't see clearly. They could only hear one rumbling sound after another.
"Strange." The team leader raised an eyebrow, regretting that his first discovery wasn't the Liver's Great Secret.
Otherwise, with eyesight that can see a hundred miles away, seeing through dense darkness would not be difficult.
"Stay close to me."
He whispered something, then took the lead and jumped, followed by his teammates.
The eleven people descended further and further down the cracked, broken rock layers.
Three hundred meters underground.
This is a mid-level underground river, extremely dark.
"Is it over?" Chen Nuanyu's hands and feet were ice-cold. Zhang Fusheng, is he dead?
In dead silence.
'Thump thump thump thump!'
Suddenly, a series of falling sounds rang out. Chen Nuanyu looked over and was stunned.
There were eleven mysterious people wearing protective suits, carrying gas tanks, and wearing masks.
Who are they?
In a moment of stunned silence.
"Where's the underground river?" The team leader looked at the damp rocky ground and muttered to himself in confusion. He and his team members blinked slightly, quickly adjusting to the dim light of the place.
They were stunned.
That is???
The team leader saw that in the center of the broken and collapsed rock layers, two giants, one glowing with golden light and the other ferocious and terrifying, were embracing each other!
"Team leader?" Some team members were startled, and they became somewhat flustered, instinctively backing away.
At the same time.
The monstrous giant withdrew his hand and opened it—it contained fragments of a shattered heart.
Chen Nuanyu closed her eyes.
"It's over." Niu Dali ignored the people who jumped down and spoke calmly, a sudden sense of sadness washing over him. He had finally met such an opponent.
Among martial artists, only this one person can rival him in strength.
He reached out and stroked Zhang Fusheng's rapidly paling face, whispering:
"Junior Disciple Brother, Black Eyes said you have the destiny to Becoming a God, and now it seems that it is indeed true."
"If you hadn't met me, you would surely have become a god."
Becoming a God?
The team leader's lips twitched slightly:
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
He relaxed slightly, realizing that the two giants seemed to be only at the martial arts level.
Then it's nothing at all.
Niu Dali turned around, glanced at him indifferently, grinned, and made no attempt to hide it from outsiders. In his eyes, they were all already dead.
He glanced again at Zhang Fusheng's hand, which was inserted into his abdomen, and smiled silently.
"Black Eyes said, 'I have no chance of killing you, because you are destined to become a god in the future, but I don't believe in the future.'"
I only believe in the present.
"Look—now, haven't I killed you?"
The golden giant, head bowed, coughed up a mouthful of blood; its life force was rapidly fading.
Niu Dali reached out again and stroked the face of the golden giant, gently lifting it up.
"My dear Junior Disciple Brother, now, let us become one."
His words abruptly stopped.
The Junior Disciple Brother still had a smile on his face.
An incredibly radiant and bright smile.
A bad premonition suddenly arose in Niu Dali's heart. He suddenly felt his Junior Disciple Brother's large hand gripping his internal organs tighten abruptly!
The next second.
"It's so vast, I've never sensed anything like it before, such immense vitality!"
Zhang Fusheng spoke enthusiastically:
"You're right, Eldest Senior Brother."
Let us become one!
The gleaming Dead Man's Bones suddenly trembled, and Zhang Fusheng roared as he shoved his Eldest Senior Brother to the ground, his hand, embedded in the brother's abdomen, beginning to frantically drain his life force!
Niu Dali clearly sensed something in his body was rapidly disappearing—it was the result of him forcibly swallowing hundreds of kilograms of meat day and night!
It's a sign of life!
It's power!
"Roar!!!" He was truly enraged, letting out a hysterical roar, one hand gripping the golden giant's neck, trying to shove him away.
His other hand was raised high, his dark gold fist clenched tightly.
Every muscle in his arm swelled to its limit.
The bluish-black blood vessels bulged out like writhing earthworms!
Then, smash it!
'Boom!!'
With the first punch, half of Zhang Fusheng's head was shattered.
The second punch! The golden giant's spine twisted and broke under the immense force!
The third punch! The fourth punch! The fifth punch!
The terrifying shockwave distorted the air and surged in all directions. The experienced Chen Nuanyu and Zheng Yaoyang immediately retreated into the extremely thick cavern.
And that action team?
They belatedly realized they needed to avoid it.
But it was too late.
The air, rippling and layered, roared in with a deafening roar, freezing the faint smile on the team leader's face.
He suddenly sank his feet into the rock strata, gathering his Blood Qi Beacon to defend himself!
But even so,
The hastily formed Blood Qi Beacon was still nearly torn apart!
After a series of shockwaves swept across the area.
"Huff, huff," the team leader gasped, his expression one of terror. "What kind of monster is this?"
He turned around, instinctively wanting to check on his team members' safety, but suddenly froze.
Of the ten team members, four were the first to be hit and torn to pieces by the shockwave. The other six also suffered injuries of varying degrees and were coughing up blood.
The team leader felt a chill run down his spine.
On the other side.
To Niu Dali's horror, he discovered that the shattered golden giant was recovering and healing at an unimaginable speed.
The severed arm grew back, the heart reappeared, and the shattered skull and spine were restored to their original state!
On the contrary, it is themselves who are losing strength by the thousand pounds at a time!
He's eating himself??
For the first time, Niu Dali felt panic, but this panic was immediately replaced by even greater anger:
"I'll be the one who eats everyone else!"
"You! You!"
"How dare you!"
"Arrogant! Ugh..."
Niu Dali, his grin stretching all the way to his ears, and fiercely bit at the golden giant!
"I can devour your destiny, devour your future, devour everything you have!!"
He frantically tore at the golden giant.
But they quickly realized something was wrong.
What about destiny?
Is one destined to Becoming a God?
He did indeed experience immense power and a profound Buddha Light, but shouldn't it have been more than that?
It shouldn't be just this!!
"Destiny? A preordained future of Becoming a God?"
Zhang Fusheng laughed hoarsely:
I also don't believe in the future.
"This moment, right now, is the only reality!"
He frantically absorbed his Eldest Senior Brother's life force and was surprised to find that this life force was completely different from others; it was entirely special!
Is this what makes the Eldest Senior Brother unique?
Taotie Taotie
Yes!
The food that the Eldest Senior Brother eats can be transformed into a special kind of life force, which can be directly converted into power!
No wonder you have the strength of a million pounds!
Zhang Fusheng's smile blossomed; the unique vitality he had absorbed was transforming into his own strength!
Although half of it was taken by the Dead Man's Bones, the remaining half was also incredibly large!
One thousand catties! Three thousand catties! Five thousand catties! Ten thousand catties!
His own strength is increasing dramatically, while Niu Dali's strength is decreasing dramatically!
"Let go! Let go! Let go!"
Niu Dali let out a hysterical roar; he was afraid.
He was truly afraid.
His own strength had already dropped to the level of 800,000 jin, and it was still constantly being lost. The internal organs that were being tightly gripped were even beginning to dry up!
Seven hundred thousand catties, six hundred and fifty thousand catties, six hundred thousand catties!
Niu Dali was completely panicked, no longer the arrogant person he once was. He gritted his teeth:
"You forced me to this!"
"It's you!"
Niu Dali roared, turned his head, and stuck out his tongue, which shot out a hundred meters in a burst. All the remaining 600,000 jin of strength in his body was gathered at the tip of his tongue.
It suddenly pierced through Zheng Yaoyang's pale red Qi and Blood, plunged into his spleen, and frantically absorbed it!
Zheng Yaoyang let out a miserable Blood Qi Beacon, but his Eldest Senior Brother's speed was simply too fast!
In the distance, the team leader was completely dumbfounded, his scalp tingling!
All that could be seen was that Zheng Yaoyang's internal organs and even his entire body had been completely drained!
Even the Yin World Wood Marrow was absorbed into his stomach.
"What is that?" Niu Dali panted and frowned, not bothering to investigate further. He flicked his tongue, still wanting to suck Chen Nuanyu's fluids.
The latter was terrified and turned to flee. Zhang Fusheng reacted quickly, not giving him a chance to devour the intruders, and suddenly tore off the giant's long tongue!
"Waaah!!" the giant howled, yet laughed loudly, "That's enough!"
The Five Elements Great Medicine, when taken, can uncover the profound secrets of the corresponding internal organs.
Besides Natural Great Medicine, there are also Artificial Great Medicine, corresponding to a large number of organs, or...
The internal organs of a Martial Arts Master.
Niu Dali, let out a thunderous roar!
The next instant, a burst of deep red Blood Qi Beacon erupted, and Zhang Fusheng was violently sent flying!
Niu Dali's strength is rising rapidly, or rather, it's because new power is being born after the Spleen's Great Secret have been unearthed!
Zhang Fusheng got up.
Feeling the surging power within his body—even ignoring the boost from the Giant Contemplation, his own strength had broken through the 500,000 jin mark!
With the increase in the Giant Contemplation,
That is
1.26 million catties.
One million two hundred and sixty thousand catties, or six hundred tons, seems to be the true limit at the [martial artist] level.
"You"
Enveloped in a thick, crimson aura of Blood Qi Beacon, Niu Dali, low voice rang out:
"It was you who ruined everything I planned."
"I could have used the Devour God to uncover all the great secrets at once and laid the foundation for Becoming a God."
Crimson Blood Qi Beacon billowed, filling the entire underground rocky path with terrifying energy!
"Go!!" The team leader snapped out of his daze, leaped up, and abandoned the few remaining team members who were barely clinging to life, trying to escape!
The next second.
The deep red Blood Qi Beacon suddenly coalesced into the phantom of an ancient ferocious beast, which raised its head and let out a silent roar!
The rock strata were smashed and pulverized, and the injured members of the task force were torn apart along with the rock.
The team leader, who had leaped high into the air and was about to burst out of the ground, suddenly felt an immense, unbelievable suction force while still in mid-air!
He roared, raising Blood Qi Beacon —but it was all in vain, and he crashed down!
"Save"
He hadn't finished speaking.
The Martial Arts Master was excavating a secret organ was pulled in by a tremendous suction force, and along with the rubble and dust, fell into the mouth of a ferocious beast formed from Blood Qi Beacon.
Then, enveloped by the phantom of the ferocious beast, they were all decomposed, torn apart, and absorbed by the terrifying Qi and Blood!
It vanished completely.
It's as if they never existed.
Zhang Fusheng dug his feet into the ground to resist the terrifying suction, squinting as he stared at the illusory image of the ferocious beast.
It has the body of a sheep, the face of a human, eyes under its armpits, tiger teeth, and human claws.
Gluttony.
"Martial Arts Master," Niu Dali sighed, "This is the realm I've been waiting for, but I don't want to reach it now."
"It's all your fault!!"
Zhang Fusheng's eyes were bloodshot as he grinned:
"My strength is now more than twice that of yours. If you could beat Zheng Yaoyang half to death, I can certainly beat you half to death too."
They didn't care at all about the guy who had just died a violent death.
"Is that so?"
The Eldest Senior Brother spoke in a low voice:
"Martial Arts Master can gain Divine Ability powers and immense strength by opening one of the five internal organs. When all five organs are opened, the strength can reach 1.26 million jin, which is the limit."
"You're comparing me to an ordinary, dirty person?"
He laughed hysterically.
"How could he possibly compare to the depth to which I've unearthed the Spleen's Great Secret? Strength is secondary."
"The Divine Ability of the internal organs is of utmost importance!!!"
Although the ferocious giant was smaller, it was still three meters tall, and the gluttonous shape formed from Blood Qi Beacon behind it stretched for more than ten meters!
It's even expanding!!
Is that so?
Zhang Fusheng was excited and smiled brightly.
He stared at Niu Dali with fanaticism, already plotting how to kill him and drain his remaining life force!
No, we have to spare Niu Dali's life. We need to find a way to buy those traits related to Taotie.
As for how to slaughter them?
He didn't think about it; his mind was a complete blank, hazy and confused, with only a surging murderous intent and a crimson aura swirling around him.
The gluttonous beast behind the Eldest Senior Brother had already expanded to tens of meters in size, completely filling that underground space!
The rock walls trembled and tore apart under the shadow of a terrifying aura.
"Let me show you," Niu Dali said coldly, "What true strength really is."
His words abruptly stopped.
Niu Dali lowered his head and looked at his chest. A hand as white as jade passed through his back and out through his chest, squeezing his heart.
"You"
He stared blankly at the handsome young man who walked out from behind him.
Zhang Fusheng's pupils contracted; it was the Calm Wrath Buddha Son.
His face contorted in pain. This is my prey, my prey, my prey!
Anger enveloped Zhang Fusheng, and the golden giant let out a deep roar, and then!
'Thud!'
The handsome young man casually tapped the torn rock wall, producing a sound like an ancient temple bell ringing or an old monk Wooden Fish.
It's like a person in a deep sleep having a basin of ice-cold water splashed on their face.
Zhang Fusheng suddenly regained his senses, the crimson color in his eyes faded, and the surging Malevolent Energy in his chest was suppressed by that solemn voice.
He stared blankly at his hands.
Shouldn't I be going to the airport?
Why should I confront Niu Dali- on? What about my Scattered Bones Form? What about my Mental Intent?
Sister Zai was pretty quick at killing people, huh?
He had just engaged in a head-on battle as if he were in a daze. Although it was exhilarating, he had narrowly escaped death several times, and a sense of lingering fear enveloped him, his heart pounding.
What's wrong with me?
The golden giant murmured unconsciously.
"You're alright," the handsome young man said calmly. "This world is terminally ill, filled with extremism, violence, madness, and insanity."
"However, your Malevolent Energy is stronger than that of ordinary people. Could it be that you have reached the level of Minor Perfection in visualization?"
He casually offered this suggestion:
"Then you must be careful; the higher your cultivation level, the easier it is to be affected."
Zhang Fusheng was drenched in cold sweat and subconsciously asked:
"You mean you've become a demon?"
"Possessed by demons?"
The handsome young man looked at Zhang Fusheng with a puzzled expression:
"What demonic possession? Nowadays, who among those who have achieved spiritual progress isn't a demon? I've said it before, this world is sick."
He tossed the enormous heart up, lifted it, and the Withered Woman's tongue, which was lying behind him, pierced it.
One second, two seconds.
"He is Living Buddha."
"It's the aura of Living Buddha."
His Mingfei spoke softly.
"Very good."
The handsome young man glanced at the dazed, ferocious giant and smiled:
"Finally found you!"
He then looked at the golden giant beside him and said in a friendly manner:
"When I first saw you, I thought you were Living Buddha. You're so honest. Luckily I recognized you, or I would have killed you."
"By the way, where is my future guardian deity?"
The handsome young man asked with a smile.
The next second, the Eldest Senior Brother roared and, accompanied by the illusory form of the Taotie, pounced fiercely towards him!!
The ferocious giant roared:
"Grandmaster? No, you're just Martial Arts Master. Since you're just Martial Arts Master, how dare you! How dare you ambush me?!"
A chilling murderous intent.
"Living Buddha, how come you've also fallen ill?"
'Smack!'
The handsome young man was puzzled. He waved his hand, as if swatting a fly, and lightly swept away the tens of meters wide illusory image of Qi and Blood, along with half of Niu Dali's body.
Smash them all together.
Blood mist dissipated.
The remaining half of the Niu Dali fell and smashed to the ground.
