Devour

Changsheng Mingwang is not a fool. He got the treasure and escaped death, so he should fly away. How could he risk it again? He is not from Qiongqi Continent, so why would he wade into muddy water?

Mo Ruo quickly crushed two talismans, sent a message, threw the level 30 hunter mark to Cheng Bai, and hurriedly said: "Please return the mark to the guild on my behalf. If the favor you have done me today is repaid on the spot, we will have nothing to owe each other in the future. Goodbye." He rode the Black Ruins Cauldron into the sky like a rocket and left without looking back.

Cheng Bai put away the hunter mark and chuckled, "He really knows how to deal with things." Looking at the gate of Tianxuan City that is invisible to ordinary people, he quickly entered with the Smoker.

In a short while, the space crack in front of Tianxuan City was torn open, You Fu's huge body walked out quickly, and the crack behind him gradually disappeared.

He looked around and said angrily, "I've tied myself up in a cocoon. I wasted some time in removing the corpse cage, and the thief took the opportunity to slip away." With his spiritual sense controlling the Purple Diamond Army thousands of miles away, they turned into many meteors and headed straight for Tianxuan City.

You Fu looked down at the vast desert, tracking the aura and said, "It is divided into two streams. One is heading towards the void, with a clear trajectory. The other is vague, and may be hiding in the city. The Dark Destruction Ghost Fire is concealed by treasures, and it is difficult to identify its track. Which direction is right? How can I, a great God Lord, be stumped by you? Don't even think about escaping, two little thieves."

Mo Ruo, who had already flown to the atmospheric exosphere, reached into the Sumeru mustard seed and pulled out a door that was round on top and square on the bottom, with a square gap on it.

He took out another square brick, whose texture was almost identical to the one Cheng Bai got in the Yang Palace. He inserted it into the gap in the door, and the door opened silently.

Mo Ruo could not wait to get in and said with a smile: "Great Xumi Mountain, if I come back, what can you mediocre people do to me?"

Just as he entered the portal and it closed, several Ice Soul Swords flew from the ground and passed through the portal without causing any damage. The portal then disappeared indifferently, as if it had never existed in this world.

You Fu, who was far away on the surface, had a vast spiritual awareness, and he saw with his own eyes wherever the Ice Soul Sword went. His perception was in vain, and he said in astonishment, "The Gate of Resurrection of Shanhui City? He really got away with it."

The Diamond Army has gathered around him, surrounding Tianxuan City.

You Fu turned his head and stared fiercely at the city, shouting, "A dignified Faceless Lord, are you hiding like a coward?"

Tianxuan City reluctantly revealed its true identity and returned to normal. The millions of people who once lived in the city were gone, and the city was as eerie and silent as a cemetery.

A rustling sound was heard in the Tianxuan Temple, becoming louder and louder, as if countless creatures from small to large were gathering rapidly. After a few breaths, a figure stood up in the open-air hall of the altar, growing bigger and taller.

Like the other faceless men, he had no hair or beard, his narrow eyes were narrow like slits, he had no nose, no mouth, and no ears. What made him different was that the twelve tentacles on the lower half of his face were obviously much longer, his hands and feet were slender, his skin was blue to purple, but not as bright as the insect god's, but a deep gray.

He grew rapidly, and in the blink of an eye he was more than a kilometer tall, slightly taller than the duck. The rustling sound finally stopped, and he looked directly at the other party and said, "My Lord God, I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. I wonder why you disturbed my deep sleep?"

You Fu's eyes widened, and he concentrated his consciousness to search around Tianxuan City. He asked in surprise, "Have you devoured all the creatures in the city? At least two living creatures entered this place just now. Did you see them?"

The Faceless Lord had a sad face and whispered, "Lord God, please don't make things difficult for me. The entire city has been wiped out. Apart from you and me, where did these two living beings come from?"

You Fu chuckled and said, "It is said that the Faceless Lord knows everything about the past and present, dominates the star field, has countless soldiers, and has a lot of treasures. He cannot swallow up my prey, so you'd better hand it over quickly."

The Faceless Lord was secretly annoyed and said unwillingly: "There is clearly nothing valuable in this city. If someone enters the city, I am also a great Lord, how can I not know it? Lord God, please don't use this as an excuse to invade the city."

You Fu frowned and said with a fake smile: "Shameless thing, you ancient gods are a level lower than me. The gods and immortals in the heavens have always respected the strong, yet you dare to be so presumptuous? Do you want to be a prisoner again just after escaping from the predicament?"

The Faceless Lord suppressed his anger and said reluctantly, "Wait a minute, Lord God. Let me take a closer look. If there really are outsiders hiding in the city, I will definitely capture them and bring them here."

Cheng Bai, who was watching from the sidelines, touched the treasure bag on his waist. The Smoker hid in it and dared not move. He sighed in his heart: "The Disaster Legion made a mistake. The generals of the Sun Chaser who came to conquer the Qiongqi Continent have a cultivation level higher than the Ancient God. Even if they want to fight, I'm afraid no one can resist."

Then he thought: "That's not right. If that's the case, why not just kill all the ancient gods? Why bother being polite and courteous? You Fu must be afraid of something. What is it? Could it be Ying Zhao in Yuan Chi Tianfu?"

The Faceless Lord really leaned over to check every corner of Tianxuan City. His eyes, narrowed into slits, emitted a strange light that swept in all directions.

Cheng Bai thought: "Just now I left some aura on purpose to attract Youfu to rush into the city to fight the ancient god. Now I am in stealth mode and have full power of Convergence, so even they may not be able to find me."

As expected, the Faceless Lord looked around for a moment but found nothing. He said truthfully, "Seeing through the reality and illusion here, it is impossible for there to be other living things besides you and me."

Seeing You Fu's grim expression, the Faceless Lord said, "Don't worry, Lord God. There may be people who have mastered strange secret techniques such as dissipation and shifting stars, wandering in different dimensions beyond reality or in the long river of time. This cannot be explored by ordinary means. Let me gain insight into the realm of advancement and look into the long years, between cause and effect."

Cheng Bai's face changed when he heard this. He had never thought that the Faceless Lord had such a skill. He hurriedly took out the inheritance magic cube with one hand and held the Palm-Growing Golden Pagoda with the other, communicating with the two artifact spirits: "Can insight see through the concealment?"

Shi Chi said: "It depends on the user's own cultivation. The two secret techniques are like a spear and a shield, restraining each other."

Li Tong said: "Insight is much more powerful than your spiritual eyes, and its grade is slightly higher than that of Convergence. The cultivation of the Faceless Lord is far superior to yours. If he wants to check the cause and effect relationship, you will definitely have nowhere to hide."

Cheng Bai said solemnly: "These methods of prediction and counter-prediction are really endless and hard to guard against."

Shi Chi said: "With me here to protect the master, I can block the cause and effect, and even the clairvoyant cannot discover your whereabouts."

Li Tong pointed out: "Although the insight cannot penetrate the Shengjin Pagoda, with their cultivation, they may find abnormal interference in the cause and effect. If they trace the source and attack the location of the Shengjin Pagoda, they will fall into a passive situation and Shi Chi will have to face two masters at the same time."

Shi Chi sighed and said, "If it comes to this, I'm afraid the master will have to face a decisive battle with me."

Cheng Bai shook his head and said, "Hiding is not a good way to solve the problem. It is best to take the lead in the battle and turn defense into offense."

Li Tong said in embarrassment: "This is very troublesome. Shi Chi can't handle it alone. Your current cultivation is not enough. If you can improve a few more realms, you can cooperate to exert most of the power of Shengjin Pagoda, and you may not be afraid of them."

Cheng Bai once thought that a rookie could dominate the world after obtaining a magic weapon, but now it seems that is not the case. He thought: "If I really follow what Li Tong said and cultivate to a sufficient level in Shengjin Tower before coming out, it will be a different situation if I hold this treasure. What should I do now... Wait, there is a way."

The Faceless Lord here has exerted his full strength to see through the multi-dimensional space beyond reality and illusion. The long river of time cycles back and forth, and the colorful details of the past, present and future of all living beings are endless.

The power of this secret technique lies in its ability to ignore a lot of useless information, achieve the goal quickly and directly, look directly into the essence of the soul, and analyze cause and effect relationships.

The Faceless Lord immediately discovered the clue: "Someone really entered Tianxuan City and brought the Suanni monster with him. How could it be so unclear?"

You Fu heard this and asked casually, "Where is it hidden?"

The Faceless Lord smiled and said, "It is not so easy to understand the cause and effect. Let me take a closer look."

Having said that, what he saw was another matter. The things in front of him were so shocking that the Faceless Lord's eyes, which had been narrowed into slits, widened wider than ever before.

Beyond the indescribable reality and illusion, there actually stands a magnificent five-colored stone throne, on which the unparalleled emperor sits majestically, with groups of five-clawed golden dragons coiled and reviving, the dragons' roars shaking the heavens and the earth, golden light illuminating the rivers, and auspicious colors illuminating the sky red.
