đź“– Chapter 1353 - Summons
As he approached, the fallen god’s finger seemed to suddenly awaken. Its swaying black tentacles abruptly straightened out, making it look like an alert porcupine.
The tentacles facing Wang Baole immediately lengthened, penetrating the void at astonishing speeds and giving off ear-piercing whistles as they headed straight for Wang Baole’s body.
But just as they got close… bright light flashed through Wang Baole’s eyes, and he waved his hand violently. The law of tongue’s desire in his body erupted, causing a force of suppression to envelop the fallen god’s finger.
In an instant, the black tentacles fell under his influence. They seemed to have gained individual intelligence, each twisting around and trying to devour the others, creating a chaotic scene.
Taking advantage of this chaos, Wang Baole’s massive form flickered past the tentacles. Appearing above the thousand-zhang-long finger, he raised his right hand and delivered a heavy punch!
As this punch fell, thunderous rumbling spread in all directions, and the shock wave even annihilated many of the black tentacles in the surroundings. At the same time, the omnipresent red mist, which had already become thin, dissipated even more.
But the most important thing was the finger of the fallen god. Under the violent impact of Wang Baole’s punch, the finger instantly sank down, falling more than a thousand zhang from its initial position.
Things didn’t end there. Wang Baole’s eyes flickered with a deep light, and he punched out again.
Then he punched a third time, a fourth, a fifth!
With each punch, the finger sank closer and closer to the ground. Finally, as Wang Baole delivered his fifth punch, the finger directly fell out of the sky, slamming into the black earth below.
A massive boom echoed out, and cracks spread as a crater appeared in the ground. Huge amounts of black soil exploded in all directions.
Many black tentacles also shattered from the impact. Looking from a distance, bits and pieces of black tentacles could be seen everywhere.
However, the finger of a fallen god wasn’t to be underestimated. Although Wang Baole’s bombardment had knocked it to the ground and destroyed most of its tentacles, the finger itself showed no signs of damage. Even as it writhed on the ground, a monstrous pressure erupted from it as it tried to suppress Wang Baole.
Wang Baole snorted coldly and displayed the caliber of his original body to combat the finger’s pressure. At the same time, he unleashed his law of tongue’s desire at full strength, crazily absorbing the finger’s aura.
This aura was a great tonic to his law of tongue’s desire, causing Wang Baole’s Desire Body to suddenly increase in size from 330 zhang to 380 zhang.
Licking his lips, Wang Baole started punching again, but the finger’s struggling became more violent. Just as Wang Baole was bringing his fist down for an eleventh punch, the finger suddenly bent backward in an unnatural manner, then flung itself forward like the snap of a bow. In an instant, Wang Baole’s body was sent flying with a boom.
After knocking Wang Baole away, the finger immediately jumped up and aimed its fingertip at him. It then charged forward with terrifying speed and momentum, seemingly trying to drill a hole through the vault of heaven as it shot toward Wang Baole.
Although Wang Baole was now almost 400 zhang tall, he was less than half the size of the finger. It was possible for him to dodge, but if he did that, the finger would definitely escape into the red mist. And once it escaped… he didn’t know how long it would take to find it again. Thus, a ferocious look flashed across his face, and he didn’t dodge out of the way. Instead, he moved his hands and let out a low roar, viciously grabbing the incoming fingertip.
As rumbling echoed everywhere, Wang Baole and the finger shot straight into the red mist. Veins bulged on Wang Baole’s face as red mist flew past his eyes, his whole body trembling in agony.
Nevertheless, his law of tongue’s desire didn’t stop devouring the finger’s aura for a single instant. Thanks to that, his body automatically repaired itself and even grew stronger, expanding to 420 zhang in height. At this moment, the thousand-zhang-long finger finally showed signs of exhaustion and slowed down a little.
As soon as its momentum flagged, Wang Baole erupted with his full strength. Gripping the finger tightly, he swung it hard, sending it shooting down through the mist once again.
A boom rang out as the finger made another crater, sending soil flying in all directions. This time, it landed not far from Cheng Lingzi and the others, who obviously heard the sound and saw the scene of the finger falling from the sky.
As they looked on in shock, they saw the god-like figure of Wang Baole arriving as well, punching it down again and again deeper into the ground.
Compared to the others, Cheng Lingzi’s reaction was relatively subdued. After all, this wasn’t the first time he saw Wang Baole challenging the finger of a fallen god. However, the other six people had no such prior experience, and their faces looked as if they had seen a ghost.
Everyone here had seen Gluttony Lords before. They knew that although a Gluttony Lord was strong, here in the Buried Realm, the remnant finger of a fallen god would be stronger. And yet, this Master Icespirit, who had just become a Gluttony Lord, could actually blast this finger into the ground, causing overwhelming shock to fill their hearts.
Meanwhile, Wang Baole’s fists became faster and faster, continuously absorbing the finger’s aura at a terrifying pace. Under his crazed bombardment, the finger continued to wither, and his Desire Body finally broke past 500 zhang. Just as he reached 510 zhang in height…
The finger of the fallen god suddenly erupted with a dense crimson light. As soon as the light appeared, Wang Baole’s expression changed as he suddenly felt a powerful sense of crisis. However, he was unwilling to give up here, so he continued absorbing with his full power.
Huge amounts of black gas spouted out from the finger, surging into Wang Baole through his every pore. At the same time, the blood-red light shining from the finger became brighter and brighter.
Suddenly, the red mist in the sky churned. It seemed that the finger’s crimson light was some sort of summons; at this moment, a shadow could be seen taking over the vault of heaven. Gradually, what emerged from the red mist was… a gigantic four-fingered hand!
When he saw this hand, Wang Baole’s expression changed drastically. Obviously, he could tell that this four-fingered hand and the finger beneath him shared a common origin…
“Damn it, you actually called for help…”
Wang Baole’s scalp turned numb. He immediately let go of the finger and leaped into the sky, fleeing at full speed as the gargantuan hand fell toward the ground. At the same time, the withered finger bounced up and chased after Wang Baole crazily.
