After seeing all this, Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. His body flickered and he appeared in the crowd, following the crowd toward the city gate.
As he got closer, waves of salivating aroma spread out from the city, causing the breathing of the cultivators lining up to quicken.
Even though the effect on Wang Baole was minimal, such waves of desire still reminded him of the memories of his main body eating when he was a teenager.
Wang Baole couldn't help but touch his bag of holding. Unfortunately, it had been many years since he last had Ice Spirit Water.
"I suddenly miss it …" Wang Baole sighed as he looked at the city gate in the distance. Although there were guards here, they didn't care about the people entering the city. Instead, there was a screen of light at the city gate.
This was obviously some kind of Dharmic Artifact. Everyone who stepped through the screen of light would be automatically checked if they had a token and how many times they had used it. Those who met the requirements would naturally be able to pass through, but sometimes there would be people who tried to take advantage of the situation.
Without exception, these people would be blocked outside. If they tried to pester them, the guards would throw them far away.
What caught Wang Baole's attention wasn't the people who were thrown aside, nor was it the Dharmic Artifact light screen. Instead, it was the guards themselves. They were dressed in standard but luxurious armor, and their faces were flushed red. It was as if they had eaten something extremely nutritious and hadn't been able to digest it. Every one of them had arrogant looks on their faces, and when they swept their gazes over the people entering the city, most of them were disdainful.
Based on Wang Baole's understanding of human nature, the reason why the guards behaved in such a manner was mostly because they had a strong sense of belonging and pride towards the city. That was why they behaved in such a manner.
This made Wang Baole even more interested in Appetite City.
Not long after, the crowd that Wang Baole was in passed through the screen of light. When it was Wang Baole's turn, he didn't hesitate at all and stepped toward the screen of light. The moment he stepped in, he felt the token he had obtained to enter the city shine. Then, a message appeared in his mind.
"Seven days. Once."
This message was cold and mechanical, without any emotional fluctuations. It was obviously from the Dharmic Artifact at the city gate. The message was very simple, and Wang Baole understood that he could stay in the city for seven days. At the same time, he still had one more chance to enter the city.
"Interesting." As he muttered to himself, Wang Baole walked out of the screen of light and stepped into the city. The moment he entered the city, a rich fragrance rushed toward him. At the same time, cheers seemed to be magnified and filled Wang Baole's ears.
He saw that in the majestic city, there were many people wearing colorful clothes and acting funny as they cheered and walked along the main road.
These people dressed in colorful clothes were very unique. Most of them were bloated, especially the one right in front. He was comparable to Wang Baole when he was at his fattest. He looked like a mountain of meat.
This mountain of Meat didn't move on its own. Instead, it was lifted up by dozens of Cultivators wearing colorful clothes.
As for the buildings on both sides of the street, there were countless people crowded together, cheering as they looked at the Meat Mountain and the parade.
Along with the cheers of the crowd on both sides, the procession in colorful clothes on the main road threw out all kinds of delicious food from time to time. There were meats, fruits, vegetables, pills, and other edible things that were snatched by the crowd on both sides and swallowed them into their mouths.
It seemed lively, but there was something strange about the scene.
That was because … in addition to the colorful parade, the people on both sides of the street were all … emaciated. Their faces were yellow from starvation, and their eyes were bloodshot. When they ate, they seemed to go crazy.
Wang Baole even saw people fighting each other to the death over a piece of Meat Mountain. As for the person who died, because of how packed the crowd was, he couldn't fall down. He was stuck in the middle of the street, which made the scene even more bizarre.
It was almost as if … everyone had gone mad.
Behind the colorful procession was an even greater number of people who were as thin as firewood. They followed the procession, cheering as they fought for food. Once the procession was far away, the people on both sides of the procession quickly rushed forward and joined the crowd behind it. They followed the procession like a giant snake that was continuously growing in size as it moved forward.
Wang Baole's eyes narrowed. Because of the situation, almost no one paid any attention to him. Therefore, even though he joined the crowd and moved forward with them, no one paid any attention to him.
Just like that, time passed slowly as they observed and advanced. Four hours later, as the procession continued to move forward, the number of people following behind increased. They were so densely packed that there were at least a million of them. Even Wang Baole would feel dizzy in such an environment as the deafening booms continued to grow louder and louder.
If he felt that way, there was no need to mention anyone else. Of course, Wang Baole was able to suppress the noise, but there were many who couldn't. Furthermore, if they couldn't fight back, it would be like they had been infected. They would be lost in the dizziness, and would naturally behave like the rest of the crowd.
As for the food that was being thrown at him, Wang Baole didn't touch a single one. His intuition told him that there was something wrong with the food. It was in this fashion that four hours later, the parade up ahead suddenly stopped. The cheering died down, and everything grew quiet.
Wang Baole spread his Divine Will outwards. He immediately saw that where the procession was standing was a gigantic altar. In every direction of the altar, there was a procession. The person leading the procession was like a mountain of flesh. Behind the procession, there was a large number of people as thin as firewood.
It was almost as if … everyone in the city, including the outsiders, were gathered here.
The altar had originally been empty, but now, it shone with dazzling light, and an enormous figure appeared.
The figure was fully 3,000 meters tall, and caused everyone's hearts to tremble. Because of its shape, the pressure it exuded was even more shocking.
If one were to compare the eight fat men on the altar to an ordinary person, they would be considered mountains of flesh. However, compared to the 3,000-meter-tall giant, they would be like children.
In some ways, the 3,000-meter-tall giant couldn't even be considered a person. It was a lump of flesh that surpassed everything else!
Fluctuations of Cultivation base power comparable to the peak of the Fifth Step emanated out from the lump of flesh. It shook Heaven and Earth, and suppressed everything.
"Greetings, Lord Desire!" As the eight fat men on the altar roared, everyone in the area went crazy. Their eyes shone with fanaticism as they began to call out in unison.
Amidst the cries of the crowd, the chunk of flesh on the altar slowly lifted its astonishing right hand and then pushed it down. Instantly, everything went silent. At the same time, countless golden threads appeared, forming together into a ball of string that appeared soundlessly in mid-air.
It was made up of the countless golden tentacles that Wang Baole had eaten before. All of the tentacles wriggled about, making for a terrifying sight.
