"Yōko Aoi?" Wang Baole's eyes narrowed as he looked at the woman's head.
It was just a head, and her face was vicious. However, because it hadn't rotted away, it was still possible to see the beauty of her features. Presumably, years ago, this woman had been a peerlessly beautiful woman.
Unfortunately, things had changed. Her eyes were filled with hatred, as if they could pierce through life and death, as well as the passage of time, as they exploded out in front of Wang Baole.
"Yōko Aoi! You're Yōko Aoi!!" She shrieked. Even as she spoke, her black hair wriggled and shot toward Wang Baole like vipers.
Wang Baole frowned slightly and snorted. Instantly, the Law of Gluttony in his body spread outwards. Instantly, the strands of hair seemed to possess a mind of their own as they turned on Wang Baole. Under the influence of the Law of Gluttony, a strong sense of greed erupted from each of them, and they began devouring each other.
Some of the hair even shot toward the woman's head to consume it. As for the woman, she wasn't affected in the slightest. It was as if … the hatred inside of her was so strong that it took over everything else. She couldn't tolerate any other desires. Filled with hatred, she slammed her head toward Wang Baole.
As before, she let out a shrill shriek.
"Yōko Aoi! You're Yōko Aoi!!"
Wang Baole's body flickered as he appeared above the head. He lifted his right hand and pushed it down. Instantly, a powerful force exploded out onto the head, transforming into innumerable nightmares of desire. They wrapped around the head, then slammed down onto the ground, nailing it to the ground. No matter how much the head struggled, it couldn't break free.
As for the hair, they continued to consume each other, and began to grow smaller and smaller.
However, the shrill shriek didn't weaken in the slightest. It continued to echo out, and Wang Baole gradually came to realize that this woman … only knew one thing.
Muttering to himself, Wang Baole looked at the head he had nailed to the ground. Then, as the woman continued to shriek, he placed his finger on her forehead in an attempt to sense her soul.
"No soul?" Wang Baole stared in shock as he examined the head in front of him. There was no trace of a soul inside of it. It was as if what had caused it to attack and howl was pure hatred.
"Or is it controlled by some will that I can't detect?" Wang Baole looked around silently for a moment. Then, ignoring the woman's head, he flew off into the distance.
"Yōko Aoi, you're Yōko Aoi!!"
Behind him, the woman's shrill cries continued to ring out. Gradually, as he walked further away, her cries grew weaker and weaker. When they could no longer be heard, Wang Baole waved his hand. Instantly, the Nightmare of Desire surrounding the woman's head that he had pinned to the ground earlier, which was some distance away from him, disappeared instantly.
As for the woman's head, her eyes, which had been filled with hatred, slowly began to turn blank. In the end, they became empty and numb as they flew up into the air and floated about in the area ….
After floating about for a long time, a beam of light appeared off in the distance. Suddenly, the woman's empty eyes began to glow, as if flames had been ignited within them. Her hatred once again exploded out.
"Yōko Aoi, you're Yōko Aoi!!" Shrieking, the woman shot toward the figure. It was a Meatloaf Disciple, whose face was covered with terror. Moments ago, he had been trying to keep track of what was behind him, but now that he had suddenly encountered the head, his expression flickered. Unable to dodge in time, the long hair of the head wrapped around him and dragged him over to the mouth of the head, where he was swallowed up.
Even as he was swallowed up, the Meatloaf Disciple's face was filled with terror, as well as confusion and suspicion. It was as if, in the moment of his death, he couldn't help but wonder why this woman had called him Yōko Aoi.
Off in the distance, another Meatloaf Disciple from the City of Gluttony caught sight of this, and his scalp went numb. He quickly retreated into the distance.
After he left, the woman's head continued to chew, and the light in her eyes slowly faded away. Once again, she returned to her numb state and floated off into the distance. She didn't notice that one of the strands of hair had fallen off of her head and landed on the ground, transforming into a vague Nightmare of Desire.
The Nightmare of Desire looked at the woman's head off into the distance. After a long moment, it grew more and more blurry until it finally faded away.
At the same time, far off in the distance, Wang Baole was in the middle of flying through the air, surveying the area. Suddenly, his expression flickered as he sensed something. The confusion that had existed in his brow all this time vanished by more than half.
"So, it's because she sees everyone shouting the same thing …." Wang Baole didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Truth be told, when he had first encountered the woman's head, he had been shaken by the hatred in her eyes, as well as the words she had shouted.
At the moment, Wang Baole stopped thinking about who Yōko Aoi was. Instead, he lowered his head and began to scan the ground, looking for an entrance that would lead him underground.
Given the level of his cultivation base, any location could be considered an entrance to the underground. However, this burial ground was very strange. Wang Baole had the feeling that there was a chaotic will within this burial ground. If he randomly chose an entrance, it would cause unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, he was looking for a place with a weak will.
It wasn't difficult for Wang Baole to find such a place. After a few days, he found a weak-willed mound amidst the endless and seemingly eternal burial ground.
The hill was completely black, and its internal structure was similar to that of a volcano. However, there was no fiery object inside, only a winding tunnel that led underground.
Wang Baole's gaze swept over it, and he was just about to approach when suddenly, his pupils constricted. He lifted his right hand and shoved it out in front of him. Instantly, the ground collapsed, and a three thousand meter long tube, dozens of meters thick, shot up from the ground toward Wang Baole.
As it collided with Wang Baole's raised right hand, a deafening boom erupted. The ten-thousand-foot-long tube-shaped object retracted abruptly and landed on the ground once again. At the same time, the hill … trembled continuously and actually … began to move slowly!
If anyone took a closer look, they would find that it wasn't a hill at all. It was a strange creature that looked like a hill, but was actually a living creature. The tube-shaped object was like its mouth, and it usually pierced deep into the ground. Anyone who looked at it would think that it was a tunnel.
At that moment, as if sensing Wang Baole's threat, the hill-like mystical beast chose to move, wanting to leave the place. However, its massive body lacked agility. Even though its movement could cause the earth to shake and the mountains to tremble, it was actually very slow.
Wang Baole was very surprised. As he flew in a circle around the moving hill, his eyes shone with a strange light. "So, there are all sorts of strange things in the Primordial Universe," he thought. "It seems all sorts of strange things can be born here."
Considering the level of his cultivation base, the fact that he hadn't been able to tell that the hill-type beast was actually a living creature spoke volumes about its ability to conceal itself.
Furthermore, as the hill-type beast began to move, the area where the will had been weak suddenly grew stronger. Wang Baole's eyes shone brightly, and his body flickered as he landed on top of the hill-type beast. The hill-type beast's rage seemed to be spreading out, and the ground quaked. Just as the tube was about to be pulled out, Wang Baole's eyes narrowed, and he began to emit a bit of his own personal divinity.
BOOM!
The hill-type beast began to tremble, and didn't dare to move.
