"If it weren't for the fact that my true self was as cowardly as a mouse, this bitch wouldn't have been able to find me!" The woman's gaze locked onto Wang Baole, causing an intense sensation of crisis to explode out in his mind.
His flesh and blood began to tremble, and he shot backward at top speed. At the same time, rage welled up in Wang Baole's heart. His true self was far too cowardly.
As he shot backward, a sickly smile appeared on the woman's face, and she prepared to charge toward Wang Baole. However, it was at this exact moment that ….
The bronze cauldron floating in mid-air above the city of Gluttony suddenly began to rumble. A moment later, the cauldron began to move of its own accord. It vanished, and when it reappeared, it was directly in front of the woman, blocking her view.
Even as the aroma of meat wafted out in all directions, a pale hand that seemed to have been cooked for countless years reached out from within the cauldron ….
"Hu Erli, you've been cursed by the god to become his favorite ingredient. You'll be cooked for all eternity, and now you're trying to fight back against the curse for the sake of an outsider!!
"Don't you know that this will cause you to lose even more of your humanity? Are … are you crazy!?!?" When the woman saw the pale hand reaching out from within the cauldron, her face flickered, and she let out a shrill cry.
Apparently terrified of the pale hand, the woman's sphere of distortion began to retreat at top speed. Ripples began to emanate out from it, as if it were trying to summon an imperial spirit or a guardian.
However, even as the ripples began to spread out, the pale hand reached out from within the cauldron and pushed down toward the sky.
Rumbling filled the sky, and massive fissures spread out like spiderwebs, covering the entire city of Gluttony and isolating it from the outside world.
"You stinking bitch, I've never liked the look of you for a long time!" A hoarse voice echoed out from within the cauldron as the pale hand made a grasping motion toward the sphere of distortion. The sphere of distortion struggled, but was unable to escape, and was slowly dragged toward the cauldron.
"Hu Er Li, you really are crazy!" The woman in the distorted face had a venomous look in her eyes. The Law of Hearing erupted with a bang. The sound of all living things, the sound of nature, and the sound of all living things spread out in all directions at the same time, causing this isolated area to show signs of collapsing.
Just as the barrier was about to dissipate, laughter suddenly rang out from within the giant cauldron.
"This is my answer."
The words came out of nowhere, but Wang Baole understood them clearly. His eyes shone with a bright light as he watched the pale hand that had stretched out of the cauldron break off of its own accord. It flew out of the cauldron, burning as it burned. Under the disbelieving gaze of the woman in the distorted blob, it was like a spear made of bone that pierced into her forehead.
In the blink of an eye, an extremely shrill scream echoed out in all directions. Whether it was the sound of nature, the sound of all living things, or the sound of all living things, all of them changed at this moment. As for the distorted mass, it was unable to withstand it, and it collapsed into pieces, completely exploding.
When the Cultivators of Hearing City saw what was happening, their faces fell. Their will to fight vanished, and they began to flee at top speed.
"That woman has three main bodies. This is one of them. Destroying it will affect the other two, forcing them to go into hibernation and recuperate …" At that moment, Wang Baole shattered the body of the scholar he had been pursuing for a long time and absorbed the nomological aura inside his body. The voice rang in his ears. "You're right.
"Master Bing Lingzi, I'll use my arm to help you. In exchange, you'll give me hope in the future. That's a good deal for you!
"There's still enough time for half an incense stick to burn before the Emperor Spirit and the guardians arrive. If you don't leave now, you won't be able to before long!"
Wang Baole took a deep breath as he listened to the hoarse voice that was transmitted into his mind from within the giant tripod cauldron. He took a deep look at it, then turned and disappeared instantly.
After he vanished, a slaughter unfolded. Although some of the Cultivators of Hearing City managed to escape, more than half of them perished.
The time it takes an incense stick to burn passed by quickly. As the barrier around the area collapsed, the sky began to churn, and figures wearing white masks instantly descended from the sky.
The pressure they emanated covered the entire city, causing all of the Cultivators, including Lord Gluttony, to look up in fear.
What they saw was an enormous, expressionless face floating in the sky behind the white-masked figures.
The face's gaze swept across the land, and finally came to rest on the enormous cauldron.
The cauldron didn't move, but instead, it laughed.
"Long time no see."
"Curse!" What answered him was a single word from the giant face.
As soon as the word was spoken, the sound of boiling within the cauldron grew even louder. It was as if the temperature and the level of torture had increased by a hundredfold. The entire cauldron turned bright red, and the boiling inside seemed capable of melting anything. It was easy to imagine the indescribable torment Lord Gluttony was enduring.
Despite the torment, laughter could still be heard from within the cauldron. It was clear that the laughter was filled with pain, but the power of faith prevented it from making even the slightest sound.
"Since you have such backbone, why did you submit back then …?"
His words seemed to have severely provoked the City Lord of Gluttony in the giant cauldron. His laughter stopped, and a shrill cry rang out.
"Xuanchen!! You …. "
It was as if to him, all of the pain he had experienced before was nothing compared to those words. However, before he could finish speaking, the face in the sky let out a cold harrumph, and a shocking power descended, crushing down onto the cauldron. With a boom, the cauldron was slammed into the ground. The pressure didn't stop there; it continued until the cauldron was buried deep into the ground. Only then did it stop.
"The light of dawn in the darkness is the most precious. If you want hope, then wait in the darkness." The face spoke in a voice that only Lord Gluttony could hear. Then, ignoring all living beings, it vanished into the sky.
As it did, the monarch spirits transformed into beams of light that shot up into the sky.
Everything was silent. The cultivators of the City of Gluttony were shocked. Only the Lords of Gluttony had complicated expressions on their faces. They exchanged glances, but didn't say anything. Down on the ground, Cheng Lingzi's face was filled with disappointment as he looked off into the distance, as if he were looking for someone.
At the same time, some distance away from the City of Gluttony, Wang Baole, who had changed his appearance, was speeding forward. His destination was … the place where his true body lay dormant!
"Lord Gluttony, I will fulfill my promise to you!!"
