š Chapter 1346 - Fallen God's Finger
The source of this change was a sudden churning in the clouds up above.
All of a sudden, a black tentacle descended from the clouds, landing right between Wang Baole and Feng Di. The suction force in that place should have been extremely powerful, but as the black tentacle fell, it didnāt deviate from its path at all.
Moreover, Wang Baole could sense an aura that made him tremble coming from the root of the black tentacle. Without hesitation, he gave up on absorbing Feng Di and retreated rapidly.
As he did so, three more tentacles dropped from the heavens. One struck the spot where Wang Baole had been just a moment ago, while another fell on Feng Di. At this point, Feng Diās eyes were already full of despair, and he seemed to go into a daze, not resisting in the slightest as the tentacle instantly wrapped around his body.
The third tentacle fell on the boyish Cheng Lingzi. Cheng Lingziās eyes went blank and his body trembled slightly as he, just like Feng Di, failed to show any signs of resistance toward the incoming tentacle.
However, Cheng Lingziās life still held value for Wang Baole. Thus, Wang Baoleās path of retreat led him to the boyās side, where he grabbed onto his shoulder and disappeared with him on the spot.
As soon as the two people disappeared, the black tentacle landed on thin air. However, it didnāt mind, becauseā¦ at that moment, more and more tentacles began falling from the sky. Hundreds of tentacles were densely packed together, forming a squirming black mass.
With one of these tentacles wrapping around him, Feng Diās body withered up faster than when he had been in Wang Baoleās clutches. Just over ten breaths of time later, Feng Diā¦ had turned into a dried corpse.
Looking carefully, it could be seen that it wasnāt just Feng Di. Hundreds of similar dried corpses were wrapped tightly by different black tentacles, each hanging motionless in the air.
However, the clothes of these corpses hadnāt rotted, and the style of their clothing actually seemed to come from different time periods.
The red mist in the sky continued to churn, and new tentacles continued to fall. However, compared to the sudden burst of hundreds of tentacles earlier, the frequency of falling tentacles had decreased greatly. At this moment, Wang Baole and Cheng Lingzi reappeared in the distance. As he looked at the densely packed mass of tentacles behind him, Wang Baoleās eyes shone brightly.
As for Cheng Lingzi, now that he was far away from the tentacles, the blankness in his eyes slowly disappeared. His whole body shuddered, and his expression was full of fear.
āRemains of a fallen god!!
āFallen god?ā Wang Baole looked at Cheng Lingzi inquisitively. Noticing Wang Baoleās gaze, Cheng Lingzi trembled and quickly explained further.
According to Cheng Lingzi, the so-called fallen gods were actually almighty beings from ancient times. Some died due to the War of Gods, while others passed away over time, but each and every one of them was a powerhouse comparable to the Desire Lords or even stronger.
Some of these people were said to be in hibernation, but many rumors claimed that they had in fact died long ago, and portions of their remains would occasionally appear here in the Buried Realm.
āMy dad once told me that the top experts among these fallen gods could even be considered at the same level as the divine being slumbering in the upper layer of our world. Moreover, that divine being actually seems to have some sort of relation with these fallen gods.ā Cheng Lingzi told Wang Baole everything he knew.
Due to the differences in their knowledge, these words held far more implications to Wang Baole than they did to Cheng Lingzi. Now, as he narrowed his eyes and stared at the source of the falling black tentacles, he sawā¦ a huge finger looming behind the mist.
It was just a single finger, but it was already more than a thousand zhang long. Those countless black tentacles were nothing more than the fingerās hairs.
āStronger than my original bodyā¦ā A complicated expression appeared on Wang Baoleās face. He didnāt know who the owner of that finger was, but he could guess that they were one of the 108 generals.
Even though only a single finger was left, their power when they were alive was far too great. Thus, this finger could suppress all cultivators, leaving them with no choice but to be absorbed.
This was the reason behind Feng Di and Cheng Lingziās lack of resistance.
Obviously, Wang Baole wasnāt affected because of the caliber of his original body. Although his original body wasnāt as strong as the owner of this finger, the difference wasnāt that great. It gave him a sense of crisis, but that crisis wasnāt too powerful.
After all, he could sense that there was just this single finger up there.
āAlso, in Tongueās Desire City, the remains of a fallen god can be considered delicious ingredients absolutely without equal!ā Cheng Lingziās breathing hastened as he spoke, and a flash of greed even appeared in his eyes.
āYou eat corpses?ā Wang Baole frowned slightly.
āThatās not it, benefactor. For ordinary ingredients, you need to consume them, but with top-notch ingredients like this, all you have to do is absorb the divine aura. Even after a god dies, their aura still remains, and absorbing this aura can improve your laws by leaps and bounds.ā Cheng Lingzi quickly explained.
Wang Baole fell into deep thought. He couldnāt help but look up at the sky in another direction. At the end of his gaze wasā¦ a purple desert in the World Realm, andā¦ the location of his original body.
āMy original body can also be considered a god, right? Is it possible for me to absorb his aura?ā For some reason, a wicked thought arose in Wang Baoleās mind.
But since he wasnāt crazy, he immediately suppressed this idea, retracting his gaze and once again looking at the location of the finger of the fallen god.
As Wang Baole watched, the finger in the mist slowly rose, and the hundreds of tentacles also began retracting. It was as if they were about to return to the mist and leave this place.
After a moment of thought, Wang Baole suddenly rushed out, appearing right next to one of the retracting black tentacles. He reached out and grabbed it, causing a powerful suction force to erupt from the tentacle; however, thanks to the caliber of his original body, Wang Baole was able to resist this suction.
As his body fought the suction force, Wang Baoleās eyes flickered with a strange light. He could feel a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering aura in the black tentacles that came from the finger up above.
Before touching it, he couldnāt have sensed this aura. But now, using the tentacle as a medium, Wang Baole madly unleashed the full power of his law of tongueās desire. For the first time, the law itself released a crazed longing, wanting nothing more than to swallow up all the fingerās aura.
