The two of them were like two vortexes, one big and one small, both of them trying to devour the other.
However … in terms of power, Wang Baole was no match for the finger. After all, he was only a clone.
Logically speaking, as soon as Wang Baole made contact with the black tentacle, all of his life force should have been sucked away by the black tentacle, just like Feng Di.
After all, compared to the finger, Wang Baole's vortex was the smaller one.
However, the hypostasis of his true body was too high. Although it wasn't as high as the previous owner of the finger, it was still on the same level. Therefore, the finger couldn't do anything to Wang Baole. Since it couldn't break through, it couldn't devour him.
Therefore, a delicate balance was formed.
The protection of the hypostasis made it impossible for the finger to devour Wang Baole, but the suction force was still there. As for Wang Baole, he wasn't willing to give up. Because of the protection of the hypostasis, he wasn't hurt by the suction force. At the same time … he was able to slowly absorb the aura emanating from the finger, bit by bit, using the connection between them.
However, the price he had to pay was that he couldn't move his body.
The Meteor God's finger couldn't move either. Therefore, when he looked up, a strange and shocking scene appeared in the sky ….
Within the clouds, the finger was barely visible. Beneath the clouds, hundreds of black tentacles were motionless. The same was true of the corpses tied to them. On the outside of the clouds, Wang Baole was holding onto one of the tentacles. His body was suspended in midair, also motionless.
Only the clouds wriggled on their own, carrying them slowly off into the distance ….
There was also the young Cheng Lingzi, who was watching everything with his eyes and mouth wide open. His mind was filled with confusion as he watched the finger move further away amidst the shifting clouds. He looked at Wang Baole, who was actively grabbing onto the tentacle, refusing to let go. He was filled with shock.
"What a monster!"
He wanted to leave, but he was conflicted. Therefore, he could only brace himself and follow the black tentacles from a distance, thinking that Bing Lingzi would soon let go of the tentacles.
Just like that, time passed slowly, and three days passed quickly.
During these three days, the Hunting Feast on the first level continued. Due to Feng Di's death, Wang Baole's immobility, and Cheng Lingzi's crippling, the Divine Furnace Path became the only hunter in the Hunting Feast.
His luck was pretty good. Along the way, he had not encountered anything that could threaten him. On the contrary, he had encountered quite a number of Fleshy Disciples. Every one that he encountered was unable to escape. In the end, they were turned into ashes, and he forcefully devoured the Law of Appetite.
Just like that, the Law of Appetite in his body grew stronger and stronger. At the same time, he also gained a lot of other things. For example, he had found a lot of ingredients in the past few days.
Although it was not a peerless ingredient, it was not bad. If he could bring it back to Appetite City, it would be a good choice for him to become the Lord of Gluttony.
"Next, I need to find a few Meatbags who are similar to me. If I devour one of them, I'll be promoted to Gluttony Lord!" At this moment, the Divine Furnace Path stood between heaven and earth, looking down coldly. In the first level, there were still more than ten Meatbags alive. However, most of them had gone into hiding. It would be a waste of time to search for them one by one.
Besides, even if he devoured them all, it would be difficult for him to successfully break through. In order to break through, he needed a qualitative change in his Law of Appetite. And this qualitative change … was more suitable than devouring a person whose total Law of Appetite was similar to his own.
"It's a little strange. Where are Feng Di and Bing Lingzi …?" The Divine Furnace Path frowned. His targets were those two. As for Cheng Lingzi, he did not intend to touch him. After all, his father was the Lord of Gluttony. Although he was confident that after becoming the Lord of Gluttony, his status would be the same as Cheng Lingzi's, if he could avoid making enemies, it would be better not to do so.
Therefore, while muttering to himself, the Divine Furnace Path began to search the first level. Just like that, another two days passed. The Divine Furnace Path gradually grew impatient as he searched. Many doubts rose in his heart. One afternoon, while he was searching for his target, his body suddenly froze in midair. He jerked his head up and looked at the sky in the distance.
In the fog in the sky where he was looking, waves of rolling pressure could be felt. Before long, he saw hundreds of black tentacles appear at the end of his line of sight.
The black tentacles hung down from the fog and slowly moved in his direction. They were not fast, but as the pressure spread out, the Divine Furnace Path's heart trembled.
"Meteor God!"
A look of greed appeared in the eyes of the Divine Furnace Daoist. Naturally, he knew that this was a top-grade ingredient. However, reason allowed him to suppress his greed. His body flickered, and he was just about to leave when, all of a sudden, he caught sight of the approaching mass of black tentacles out of the corner of his eye. One of the figures on the tentacles immediately caught his attention.
When he took a closer look, the Divine Furnace Path's eyes shone brightly.
He saw a hand grabbing onto one of the tentacles and hanging there … Wang Baole!
"It's him!" The Divine Furnace Path's face filled with shock. He couldn't understand why Wang Baole's body had remained in its original state, without any signs of having been absorbed. Compared to the other desiccated corpses on the black tentacles, Wang Baole's current appearance was extremely eye-catching.
This caused many thoughts to run through the Divine Furnace Path's mind. He scanned the other desiccated corpses with his Divine Will, and soon his gaze came to rest on Feng Di. After identifying him, his eyes shone with a strange light.
"So this is where Feng Di died."
All of this caused the Divine Furnace Path to be extremely cautious. However, he was unwilling to give up, especially since Feng Di was dead. Now, the only thing he could use to achieve a breakthrough was Wang Baole.
Muttering to himself, the Divine Furnace Path looked at the approaching black tentacles. Suddenly, he lowered his head and looked at the ground off in the distance. His body flickered, and when he reappeared, he was right in front of Cheng Lingzi, who had been following the black tentacles.
His appearance caused Cheng Lingzi's expression to change. He couldn't help but raise his head to look at Wang Baole, who was hanging in the air.
"Cheng Lingzi, you're actually this weak," the Divine Furnace Path said indifferently. He didn't want to provoke the other Gluttony Lords, and now that Cheng Lingzi was so weak, he didn't have the slightest bit of value to him. Thus, he didn't want to devour him at all.
"I won't touch you, but I want to tell you … what's going on up there?" The Divine Furnace Path pointed at the black tentacles above.
Cheng Lingzi hesitated for a moment, then spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Feng Di and Bing Lingzi met and fought, but Feng Di came out on top. I don't know how he controlled the Godfall Finger, but he forced Bing Lingzi to barely maintain his body. Right now, they should be at a critical moment. However, I've been following them all this time, and I can see that Bing Lingzi will definitely lose. Feng Di is very likely to win, and with the Godfall Finger, he should be able to sweep through the entire first level," Cheng Lingzi said bitterly.
His words caused the Divine Furnace Path's pupils to shrink. He shifted his gaze from Wang Baole to Feng Di, who had turned into a dried up corpse, and slowly revealed a puzzled expression.
"Feng Di controlled the Godfall Finger? But he doesn't look like he has any aura left … "
"How would I know? After all, he was personally appointed by Lord Desire, so he naturally has his own methods. How hateful, Lord Desire is too biased this time." Cheng Lingzi gritted his teeth and spoke hatefully.
