Cheng Lingzi's words caused the Divine Furnace Daoist to feel even more sullen. He simply couldn't understand how two people who should have hated each other so much … could end up like this.
Furthermore, he had secretly examined Cheng Lingzi, and hadn't sensed any sign that she was being controlled. In other words, Cheng Lingzi had done all of this willingly, even though she was conscious.
Although the Divine Furnace Daoist couldn't understand what was going on, it also caused him to be even more fearful of Wang Baole. He had long since given up on the idea of consuming Wang Baole. All he could think about was getting out of this place as quickly as possible.
That was because he could tell that the terrifying Godperish Finger was definitely being controlled by Wang Baole. It would already be difficult for him to deal with Wang Baole, but now that he had the Godperish Finger on top of that, he couldn't possibly do anything about it.
However … he wanted to flee, but the black tentacles were moving too quickly. In the blink of an eye, they were upon him, and seemed to be on the verge of wrapping around him.
It was at this point that the Divine Furnace Daoist's strength was on full display, as well as the difference between him and Feng Di. Feng Di's inability to fight back against the black tentacles was partly because of his battle with Wang Baole, but in the end, he wasn't strong enough.
However, the Dao of the Divine Furnace Daoist was different. Years ago, he had been the number one Flesh Refiner in the City of Appetite, and had shocking latent talent. Although he was currently surrounded by the black tentacles, a vicious expression could be seen on his face. He let out a roar, and a massive wave of heat exploded out from inside of him.
It was as if his body had turned into a huge furnace, like the sun. In the blink of an eye, he released an unimaginably high temperature. It was as if heavenly fire had erupted in all directions, burning everything in its path.
Although the black tentacles were extraordinary, because of the battle between Wang Baole and the Godperish Finger, they had lost some of their suppressive power. Now that they were surrounded by heavenly fire, they weren't burned, but their speed and power were somewhat reduced. That was the opportunity for Dao of the Divine Furnace Daoist to break through the encirclement and escape.
He was about to escape … but how could Wang Baole let him do as he wished?
When Wang Baole opened his eyes, they shone with a profound light. He was very satisfied with Cheng Lingzi's performance. In reality, if the first wave of attacks from the Divine Furnace Path had been aimed at him instead of Feng Di … even though it wouldn't have killed him, the balance would have been broken, and the suction force of the God-Perishing Finger would have increased, which would have damaged him to a certain extent.
To Wang Baole, that would be a bit of a problem. And with the Dao of the Divine Furnace eyeing him like a tiger watching its prey, it was likely that Wang Baole would be in a very difficult situation.
However, Cheng Lingzi's deception had caused the Dao of the Divine Furnace Daoist to misjudge and attack Feng Di, destroying more than half of the black tentacles. Because of that, the balance on the God-Perishing Finger had been broken. To Wang Baole, that was a very good thing.
Therefore, Wang Baole made use of this opportunity to unleash a suction force from within his body. Even though he didn't completely suck the Godfall Finger dry, he absorbed at least twenty percent of it. This caused his Law of Appetite, which had been empty previously, to be completely filled, reaching the peak of the Meat Paste Disciple level. Indirectly, he also gained the right to partially control the Godfall Finger.
Feeling very pleased, Wang Baole looked over at the fleeing Dao of the Divine Furnace Daoist. His eyes shone with a mysterious light. Compared to absorbing the aura of the God-Perishing Finger, he preferred being a Meatball Apostle.
The Meatball Apostle was not only easier to suppress, but also easier to absorb. Moreover, he could sense that as long as he devoured the Dao of the Divine Furnace Daoist's Law of Appetite, he would most likely break through the limits of his current law and reach the level of the Lord of Gluttony.
As for the Lord of Gluttony, he was the highest law controller below the Lord of Desire. His Law of Appetite was, to a certain extent, one of the sources. According to Wang Baole's judgment, after becoming the Lord of Gluttony, he would be truly … indistinguishable from the Law of Appetite. If he died, the Law of Appetite would be weakened by him for a period of time.
Therefore, after becoming the Lord of Gluttony, he would be considered a true member of the City of Appetite. This was also the reason why the Lord of Appetite had said those words before he came to the Grand Hunting Feast.
"If that's the case …" Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and looked up at the God-Perishing Finger in the fog above his head. Then, he looked at the Dao of the Divine Furnace Daoist, which was pulling away.
He understood that with his current level of control over the finger, he was still unable to control it to chase after him. Moreover, if he let go of it, it would most likely hide again.
However … with partial authority, he could rely on his senses and spend some time to find it again. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons for a few breaths, Wang Baole had an answer in his heart.
In the next instant, Wang Baole let go of the hand that was holding on to the black tentacle and took the initiative to sever the absorption of the God-Perishing Finger. The moment he let go, Wang Baole suddenly took a step forward.
In the sky, his afterimage could be seen flashing past. In an instant, the Dao of the Divine Furnace Daoist, who was fleeing at top speed, had a sudden change in expression. Without any hesitation, he unleashed the heatwave in his body with all his might, causing the surrounding void to distort. It was as if everything around him would be completely incinerated.
But obviously … this was not absolute. In the blink of an eye, amidst the distorting void and the spreading high temperature, a hand appeared out of thin air and pressed on the Dao of the Divine Furnace Daoist's forehead.
BOOM!!
The sky seemed to be on the verge of collapsing. An earth-shattering boom rang out, and the Dao of the Divine Furnace Daoist let out a shrill howl. It was as if he had no control over his body, and as the force of the hand pushed against his forehead like a tempest, he was sent tumbling backward with even greater speed than he had been able to flee. He was sent crashing down toward the ground.
As the earth rumbled, his body slammed into the ground like a meteor, creating a huge crater.
Wang Baole hovered there in midair, his hair whipping about him. His eyes shone with a mysterious light as he looked down at the Dao of the Divine Furnace Daoist struggling in the crater. Then he looked up into the sky, at the place where the God-Perishing Finger had been.
That place … was now empty. The moment Wang Baole released his hand, the God-Perishing Finger had already teleported away. Although it had vanished, Wang Baole could still vaguely sense its location.
"One at a time. There's no rush." Wang Baole licked his lips and looked away from the sky. His body flickered as he pierced through the air to appear above the crater. He looked down at the Dao of the Divine Furnace Daoist.
The Dao of the Divine Furnace Daoist's body was on the verge of shattering. Blood poured out of his mouth as he looked at Wang Baole, his eyes filled with terror and disbelief. He wanted to struggle, but a moment later, dozens of Wang Baole's Nightmares of Desire appeared around him, holding him down.
