"I like this place," said Wang Baole, chuckling from within the black mist.
As he entered, the black mist poured in madly from the shattered door, dyeing every inch of the first floor of the restaurant. Everything began to rot, and at the same time, green flames began to burn.
Amidst the flames, Wang Baole walked towards the staircase. With every step he took, the staircase would turn into ash and dissipate. However, the restaurant remained standing, showing no signs of collapse.
Just like that, Wang Baole walked to the second floor. There were individual private rooms on the second floor of the hotel. The moment he stepped onto the second floor, all the doors of the private rooms opened with a loud bang. One by one, cultivators rushed out with bloodshot eyes, charging straight at Wang Baole.
However, before they could get close, from the black fog on Wang Baole's body, as it churned and writhed, shadows that resembled ferocious ghosts rushed out. They floated out and headed straight for the cultivators. Wherever they passed, cries of agony reverberated in the air. The cultivators withered and dissipated when they came into contact with them.
Only the dozens of ghost-like figures remained. They let out soundless howls, and emanated an aura of lust. Eventually, they returned to Wang Baole, whereupon they prostrated themselves in front of him.
"Once you comprehend the Law of Gluttony to a certain extent, you will be able to create your own Nightmare of Desire. If you throw any of these Nightmares of Desire into a small world, it will turn that small world into a sea of misery."
Wang Baole shook his head. Waving his hand, he caused the entire second floor to rot away. Then he headed toward the third floor, which consisted of three rooms.
As the Nightmarish Desires charged in, the three rooms transformed into ash, revealing … three Cultivators seated cross-legged in meditation.
Of the two old men, one was Bloodscale, who looked like a Demonic beast.
The two old men were trembling, and seemed to want to open their eyes, but were incapable of doing so. They could only watch as the Nightmarish Desires greedily bore into their pores and mouths.
As for Blood Linzi, as soon as Wang Baole stepped into the third level, a rune flashed on one of the scales on his glabella. It seemed to have put up some resistance, and only then did he force his eyes open, revealing blood-red pupils. He stared at Wang Baole in fear.
"Is this yours?" Asked Wang Baole coolly. He waved his hand, causing the blood-colored scale he had taken from the table in the restaurant to float over to Bloodscale.
Master Xue Linzi's body trembled, and he struggled to look up. Even as he did, a sigh could be heard coming from the fourth floor of the restaurant.
"Fellow Daoist, you've gone too far. If you leave now, I can pretend none of this ever happened."
Even as the words were spoken, the wall between the third and fourth floors began to grow blurry. Above Wang Baole, a figure could be seen … on the fourth floor.
The figure looked very similar to him, pitch black, like a vortex. It was barely possible to see someone sitting there meditating, and as the mist churned, a pair of eyes appeared, which stared at Wang Baole.
Dozens of Demonic Beasts of Desire emerged from the vortex and roared at Wang Baole. The Demonic Beasts of Desire around Wang Baole raised their heads as well. They stared at each other as if they had met their mortal enemy. Murderous intent burned within them.
Wang Baole's expression remained unchanged. He didn't speak. The scale floating before Blood Linzi, however, exploded as soon as Blood Linzi saw the four-layered silhouette appear and heaved a sigh of relief. It transformed into numerous sharp spikes that pierced through Blood Linzi's glabella and exploded inside his body. Blood Linzi didn't even have time to make a sound before he was destroyed.
This scene immediately caused the figure on the fourth level to be clearly enraged.
"Are you looking to die?!" He said in a voice that sounded like muffled thunder. The figure on the fourth floor rose to his feet, and the vortex around him began to expand. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a 60-meter-tall giant that could shake Heaven and Earth.
The giant was pitch black, and was surrounded by mist. His energy surged, and when he rose to his feet, he seemed capable of supporting the Heavens. He lifted his right hand and then slammed it down toward Wang Baole.
As he attacked, ripples of desire exploded out from him, spreading out in all directions, causing all of the residents in the City of Gluttony to tremble.
Numerous gazes converged on the scene from all directions.
"It's the Meaty Apostle!"
"A Meaty Apostle is attacking!"
Even as the voices echoed out, shockingly, eight gigantic figures appeared in eight different locations in the City of Gluttony. Each of them was like a mountain of flesh, and emanated intense pressure as they looked over at Gluttony.
As soon as these eight figures appeared, all of the noise in the city vanished, replaced by awe. These were none other than the eight Lords of Gluttony of the City of Gluttony.
Even as the gazes of the eight Lords of Gluttony fell upon the restaurant, the Meaty Apostle in the form of a giant hand slammed down. Everywhere it passed, the restaurant collapsed, and the hand slammed down onto Wang Baole's head.
However … it couldn't press down any further!
Wang Baole stood there motionless beneath the hand, supported by the Nightmarish Desire emanating from him.
"Now it's time for me to say those three words. You're looking to die." The moment Wang Baole spoke calmly, a loud boom sounded from his body. The vortex that he was in suddenly expanded and exploded. One hundred feet, two hundred feet, three hundred feet, four hundred feet!
As it expanded, the giant's hand continued to be pushed upwards. When it reached its limit, it seemed to want to retract it, but Wang Baole grabbed hold of it. In the next moment, when the vortex that Wang Baole was in had expanded to a height of four hundred feet, he lowered his head and looked at the terrified Flesh Pulp Disciple.
"You …." Before the Meaty Apostle could finish speaking, Wang Baole opened his mouth and sucked in a breath. It was like a hurricane, or a black hole. A powerful gravitational force erupted from Wang Baole's mouth, causing the Meaty Apostle's Law of Gluttony to collapse. Then, he shot toward Wang Baole.
"What gall!" In the distance, the illusory figure of Gluttony Lord, a thousand feet tall, let out a low growl. He raised his right hand and grabbed at Wang Baole. Wherever he passed, the heavens and earth changed colors, and the clouds churned. Even the heavens were covered, becoming part of his giant hand that was about to grab Wang Baole.
However, it was at this point that a cold laugh could be heard coming from the northwest. Another illusory Lord of Gluttony was there, and he also lifted his hand to meet the incoming hand.
"Tuo Lingzi," he said, "don't get involved in this battle of mincemeat."
"How dare you block my path, Zhou Huo!"
Amidst the deafening boom, the two gigantic hands in the heavens collided. As they fought against each other, Wang Baole had already sucked the flesh disciple dry, causing the black vortex on his body to collapse, revealing an old, dying figure. After being thrown aside by Wang Baole, as the lust in his body surged, his body grew from a height of four hundred feet to a height of five hundred feet. He stood there, looking up at the sky.
Without saying a word, Wang Baole clasped hands and bowed to the Lord of Gluttony who had helped him. Then he turned and walked back toward his shop. As he did, he grew smaller and smaller, until he looked like an ordinary person.
Not only did the gazes on him not lessen, but more and more.
It was impossible for any faction to be harmonious. That was especially true in a place where the desire to cultivate existed. Infighting and conflict were inevitable. Therefore, Wang Baole's goal was to prove his worth.
Ice Spirit Water was valuable, but his powerful Law of Gluttony was even more valuable.
He had both. Although there were people who targeted him, there were also people who were willing to get in touch and show goodwill.
