Devour

Cheng Bai ignored it. He was unable to deal with the Bone King head-on now, so it was better to avoid it for the time being and walk straight into the Yuheng Temple.

Shi Ziyu, Geng Ci and others were all in the palace, but they had lost their consciousness and remained motionless in the same posture as many days ago, as if they were sleeping.

Cheng Bai also met a few acquaintances.

The three demon kings, Hei Long, Qi Bin, and Qu Cong, as well as the old black turtle whom he had met in Changshe River, stood still in a posture of confrontation with Shi Ziyu and others.

A chilly cold air emanated from the Great Hall of the Conferred God Altar deep within, as if imprisoning the entire temple. However, it was not a freezing effect, but a powerful spiritual power control.

Cheng Bai unfolded the beast head domain, protected the purple palace sea of ​​consciousness, and slowly devoured the suppressed spiritual energy. Looking with his spiritual eyes, he saw a cluster of ghost fire burning on the altar, flickering gray and white. That was the culprit.

It closes the mind, makes life depressed and helpless, loses thinking and intuition, gives up struggle, and falls into endless confusion.

Cheng Bai recognized the essence of things and whispered, "Destroy the ghost fire."

It is said in the Weapon Sect that this source of divine fire is sinister in nature and corrosive to the mind, making it unsuitable for use in refining weapons and best avoided.

According to Yang's Internal Classic, the Dark Ghost Fire belongs to an ancient god. It appears in mountains of corpses and seas of blood filled with resentment and has the power to destroy the world.

They couldn't stay here for long, so Cheng Bai left his invisible state, took Shi Ziyu and Geng Ci with him, and quickly teleported to Bomen Pass in the south of the city. Most of the disciples of Yuheng Temple were stationed in this small town.

The two men quickly sobered up after leaving the temple, exhausted. Seeing that it was Cheng Bai, they felt relieved.

Shi Ziyu fell into the control of the Dark Ghost Fire and had no memory of the passage of time. Only after he recovered a moment did he reflect on his experiences over the past few days.

"That day, Hei Long came to provoke trouble. Fortunately, some friends around helped us and sent him away. Unexpectedly, a few days later, Hei Long brought three thousand-year-old demon kings and came again to mobilise troops."

Cheng Baiqi asked: "Where is the Bone King?"

Shi Ziyu stammered, "That Ancient Godson actually helped us a lot. How could I be a match for the four demon kings? Just when we were in danger, the Bone King came uninvited, the Conferred God Altar was awakened, the ghost fire was ignited, and both sides fell into unknown control at the same time."

Geng Ci looked far in the direction of the temple and sighed, "Do we have no choice but to give up Yuheng City?"

Cheng Bai felt the power of all things. The aura of death with numerous bones lingered in Yuheng City. The living should stay away from it. He advised: "That is not something we can provoke. Worrying about it will not help."

Shi Ziyu smiled bitterly and said, "We are all abandoned pawns. It's hard to protect ourselves. Let's just go with the flow."

Cheng Bai felt that there was something else behind his words, so he thought about it and replied, "I have an appointment with someone else, so I'll leave first."

After leaving Bomen Pass, Cheng Bai was teleported to the Yuheng Temple. This time he took the old black turtle with him and came to the Changshe River.

"Thank you for your help, little friend. I almost starved to death there... Haha." Xuan Bo was extremely happy to have escaped from danger. He asked Cheng Bai for some meat strips and ate them with relish.

"Uncle Xuan, I didn't expect you are also a demon king." Cheng Bai could now sense that the old black turtle's strength was not inferior to Hei Long.

Xuan Bo gradually recovered his strength and said frankly: "The so-called monster kings in Qiongqi Continent are mostly kings of bandit tribes who have only practiced for a few hundred years. Strictly speaking, only those above the Heavenly Man Realm can be called monster kings, and there are only a handful of those who have practiced for a thousand years."

Cheng Bai asked: "The four demon kings headed by the demon race on the continent are you four?"

Xuan Bo admitted: "The four of us are just ranked at the top, but we are only small demon kings. We cannot compare with the ancient gods like the Bone King who have cultivated for more than ten thousand years."

Cheng Bai said goodbye, "Senior, we will have a drink together someday. Now we will say goodbye."

Xuan Bo hurriedly said, "I hope you can help rescue Hei Long, Qi Bin, and Qu Cong. They are not bad by nature and have great control over the lower monster tribes. They are just doing things under the orders of the monster sages. If we lose them, the monster tribe will be in chaos, which will be bad for the human race."

Cheng Bai felt no psychological pressure to save Qi Bin and Qu Cong, but he hesitated to save Hei Long. Thinking about it, he had no hatred against Hei Long, so he put aside his prejudice and said, "How dare I refuse Xuan Bo's order? Please wait for a moment."

Soon, Cheng Bai teleported over and brought three demon kings.

Qi Bin and Qu Cong burst into tears of gratitude and said, "Brother Cheng Bai, you are so kind, we will never forget it."

Hei Long was stunned for a moment before he bowed and said, "Thank you for your help. I will definitely repay you in the future."

After saying this, he rode on the clouds and led the other demon kings away.

Cheng Bai thought that if he could repay evil with kindness this time, he might not have an enemy when they meet in the future. He thought, "It has been a long time. The lava giant's legs are so long that he should be able to reach Yuheng City by walking slowly."

Although he was no match for the two ancient gods, he thought he was more than capable of protecting himself, so out of curiosity he teleported to Yuheng City to check.

The majestic figure of the lava giant has arrived outside Yuheng City, and the majestic city wall is as small as a threshold that can be stepped over with just a single step.

Bone King noticed a powerful enemy approaching, so he stood up and was on guard. His huge body was 400 meters tall, and the skeletons under his feet were staggering and fleeing in all directions.

"Ju, you are going in the wrong direction. Go to the other side of the Strange Stone Mountain. Your master, the Fire Stone Wizard, is in Kaiyang City. This is not your territory." The Bone King called out the lava giant's name, obviously an old acquaintance.

"Who dares to stop me? Not you either." Ju didn't care and continued to walk forward with big strides, with thick smoke rising from where his feet stepped.

Seeing that it didn't appreciate his kindness, the Bone King took the initiative to attack, flattening houses wherever he went, and turning all objects he stepped on into mud, charging towards it like a bull.

"Violent and Savage Attack." Bone King's moves were simple and hit the target exactly.

The overwhelming force even made the lava giant lose his footing and was knocked hundreds of meters away. He fell to the ground with his back facing the sky, shaking the earth. His huge body flattened everything he touched behind him and burned it into boiling magma.

"It feels good. I haven't had a fight in over ten thousand years. Let me get back some feeling." Ju was hit hard, but he didn't care. He laughed and stood up. His burly figure was slightly taller than the Bone King.

Although Bone King seemed to have the upper hand at the beginning, his attitude was more solemn. He only pushed back a short distance with his full strength charge, which was equivalent to an ordinary person being knocked back two or three steps away, and it did not hurt a person of his size.

"Use all your best tricks. How can a son of God only have the skills of a barbaric bull?"

Ju looked down on him, thinking that his strength and defense were superior to those of the Bone King, and he punched him hard, attacking with reckless abandon, often with raging flames.

"You chaotic and disorderly guy, don't be so arrogant." The Bone King snorted coldly and used his secret technique. Hard bone armor formed all over his body. The dense bone spurs were as sharp as blades, blocking the opponent's offensive and making people discouraged.

Ju's two giant fists attacked with the might of heaven and earth, forcefully breaking the sharp bone armor condensed by the Bone King. The bone fragments mixed with blazing flames flew everywhere like a torrential rain of fire, falling into the city and igniting a raging fire that spread to the surrounding houses.

The two behemoths gradually used all their means to stretch their muscles, but the surrounding mountains collapsed, the houses collapsed, and the scene was horrible. The big gods fought, the little ghosts suffered, and the people of Yuheng City were lying dead all over the ground, suffering terribly.

Cheng Bai's eyes twitched as he turned and left, muttering, "This is none of my business. I don't have a saintly heart anyway, so I'd better get out of here."

But after walking two steps and thinking for a while, he turned back and said thoughtfully: "I can't beat it, but I can always do something bad to it. Maybe I can lead it away from Yuheng City and stop the dispute."

With a good idea in mind, Cheng Bai found a good angle far outside the city, quickly pointed his finger, and used the secret sniper technique.

The armor-piercing bullet formed by the vibration wave was more powerful than before, accurately hitting the buttocks of the lava giant who had the upper hand and was feeling complacent, and creating a small pit in the hot lava body, overflowing with boiling magma and emitting green smoke.

The needle-like attack frightened Ju so much that his fists were immediately exposed.

How could the Bone King miss such a good opportunity? He immediately released a more powerful secret technique. Ghostly claws poured towards the torch, finding gaps and hitting the lava giant. Even his body, which was harder than gold, was covered with scars.

Ju suffered a loss and was so angry that he used his secret technique and shouted, "Angry Red Lotus."

Flames suddenly gushed out from the ground, and the Bone King was rushed into the air like a fountain. The scattered sparks were like red lotus blooming. The tremendous power caused Yuheng City to shake violently. Countless houses were collapsed or burned to ashes, and the Bone King crushed a large area when he fell.

Ju used his secret technique to knock down his opponent. He touched the small dent on his butt and then noticed someone was attacking him from behind. He shouted, "Which villain dares to attack me? You don't know how to live or die."

Cheng Bai saw this from afar, and was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He thought, "This old monster is getting more and more ferocious. The Bone King has been beaten down. How can we make it retreat? I wonder if the Yellow Turban Warrior can match it."

Compared to the past, his skills have improved to the point where he can cause minor injuries to the Son of Ancient God, but not enough to pose a fatal threat.

But he saw Torch turn around and run towards him, and the lava giant's heavy steps did not slow down at all.

Cheng Bai immediately teleported further, using the sniper's ultra-long-range advantage to fire multiple sniper bullets, attacking Ju from different angles.

The lava giant punched to block the vibration wave, feeling a slight pain, and in anger he took big strides and chased after him.

The Bone King who was forgotten on the ground gradually recovered, stood up, and his whole body seemed to have been roasted. The burnt and smelly bones and flesh fragments fell off one after another, and then returned to its original appearance at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was defeated in a head-on battle. The two ancient gods were at similar realms, but Ju was slightly stronger after all.

Bone King roared unwillingly: "You are such a jerk, relying on your own backing to be so arrogant. This is in front of my ancestors, how can I allow you to be so presumptuous?"

The flames of the extinguishing ghost fire on the altar of the Yuheng Temple shone brightly and emitted bursts of ghostly howls, amplifying the power of the nearby Bone King and causing its right bone arm to mutate into a crescent bone blade that flashed a bright white light.

Suddenly, the bone blade arm separated from the body, spun in the air, and slashed towards the back of the torch at lightning speed.

Cheng Bai used his spiritual eyes to see clearly from a distance and increased the intensity of his attack. The vibration waves generated by the sniper shot towards Ju's face like a storm, attracting its attention.

The lava giant used his hands to protect his face from the vibration waves, and had no time to look around. By the time he realized it, the crescent bone blade was already close behind him. He hurriedly turned around to resist, but the left giant hand was cut off at the shoulder, and magma splashed out from the broken end.

"This method is similar to killing people with a sword, and the moves are brutal. Even the Ancient God's Son fell for it." Cheng Bai was quite satisfied with the result, but he saw that the Crescent Bone Blade had succeeded in the attack, as if it was still unsatisfied, and ran towards him as if it had eyes.

"I helped you, but you chased me and came to kill me?" Cheng Bai was not surprised by the Bone King's ruthlessness. He hurriedly summoned the Yellow Turban warrior who was hiding in a secret place and preparing for an ambush.

The golden-armored puppet stood in front of Cheng Bai, wielding the mountain-splitting spear with great power, and picked up the crescent-shaped bone blade that was coming to chop him and threw it back. His martial arts were superb, and his strength was even higher than that of the two ancient gods' sons.

"Li Tong didn't lie to me. This guard is truly amazing."

Cheng Bai was overjoyed. After blocking the attack, he teleported away with the Yellow Turban Warrior, leaving the two monsters to fight each other.

The crescent bone blade returned to the Bone King on its own and stared at the lava giant with a fierce look.

Ju suffered a great loss and was furious. He shouted with a voice like thunder: "The meteorite explodes."

Tens of thousands of miles in the sky, stardust fragments were pulled by the secret technique and quickly fell to the ground, burning fiercely in the air and smashing down heavily on the head of the Bone King.

There was a short time before the meteorite reached the ground. Cheng Bai sensed the strange changes in the power of all things in the sky. He was frightened and looked up at the sky. He said in a trembling voice: "Yuheng City is about to be destroyed. I should have stayed out of it if I had known earlier."

This meteorite is not small, and its impact is equivalent to the power of hundreds of thousands of tons of nuclear bomb. With the knowledge of Earth civilization, we can even calculate the horrific crater where the meteorite landed. The powerful shock wave will cover an area of ​​more than ten miles in radius and reduce everything to ashes.

If it crashes into Yuheng City, the result is predictable. It depends on luck how many buildings and survivors are left in the city.

Bone King shouted angrily: "Torch, you are so cruel."

The lava giant snorted coldly, dropped his broken arm, abandoned the battlefield, turned around and strode away. Even if the Bone King could withstand the meteorite explosion, he would not be safe and sound.

Suddenly, several tall, crystal-clear blue figures rushed out of Yuheng City and fled away in a hurry. It turned out that there were diamond men hidden in the city.

Bone King ignored them. In its eyes, the Diamond People were just bigger ants. It didn't matter to him. He just looked up and noticed that the huge fireball in the sky was getting closer and closer.

Taking into account that the altar of the gods in the center of the city would be affected to some extent, it raised the crescent bone blade again, which left its body and spun rapidly toward the meteorite in the sky.

The killer weapons of both sides collided violently, and a deafening explosion broke out in the sky, bursting with brilliant sparks, energy raging, winds raging, and meteorite and bone blade fragments turned into meteor showers and scattered, bombarding the earth and destroying buildings.

Earthquakes, fires, meteorites and other disasters occurred one after another, plunging Yuheng City into a sea of ​​fire, leaving behind ruins and broken corpses all over the ground.

Both sides suffered losses in this fight. The Bone King's right arm, which had turned into a crescent bone blade, was also shattered by the meteorite. Neither of the two ancient gods gained any benefit.

The Bone King took a look at his broken arm, bent down to collect a large number of skeletons in the city, extracted the essence of the bones and added them to his own body, gradually growing a new arm again.

The lava giant also has its own method of regeneration, and such a powerful creature is not so easy to defeat.

Cheng Bai groaned and said, "Even if the two monsters lost one hand, I would at most suffer skin injuries and be unable to do anything. Besides, there is an ancient god behind them." He came to the fallen arm of Ju, identified the material, and determined that it contained a very high content of dark refined gold.

The lava giant lives in the lake of fire all year round to absorb the essence of the earth. How can his body be ordinary? It is enough to smelt a considerable amount of black gold.

It is really a case of the fisherman getting the upper hand and becoming the biggest winner.

Cheng Bai was overjoyed and thought about taking it away, but unfortunately the huge broken arm weighed nearly 20,000 tons and could not be put into the treasure bag, so he couldn't even move it. After thinking for a while, he relied on the teleportation secret technique to the limit and took great pains to get it to the vicinity of Mount Qi and hide it.
