Perhaps sensing Wen Yu's disappointment, Faceless accelerated his offensive, delivering heavy punches that crashed down onto Ibira's skin like a madman.
Defensive capabilities always have their limits—after millions of punches, Ibira's skin suddenly cracked, and the slime on his body was shattered by the immense force, causing the evil flow guardian to disintegrate without a fight.
Only at this moment did Ibira barely keep up with Faceless's speed, twisting his body; his serpentine form and eight octopus legs granted him unimaginable agility!
When Faceless swung another heavy punch, the remaining slime on Ibira's body instantly expanded and transformed into bubbles. In the blink of an eye, these bubbles enveloped Faceless, and the next second, Faceless saw Ibira's frenzied eyes.
"Die, bug!"
Faceless squinted but did not make any major movements—defeating Ibira was not the goal; observing what tricks Ibira had up his sleeve was his real mission.
Thus, he did not intend to shatter the bubbles; he simply stood there, waiting for Ibira's next move.
However, this moment left Wen Yu utterly astonished...
“Boom!”
In Wen Yu's vision, Ibira's body briefly straightened, and then shot forward like a giant spring. Ibira opened his massive mouth and dived down, instantly swallowing Faceless whole.
To be honest, everything appeared to Wen Yu like a slow-motion replay, utterly devoid of interest—the gap in strength was just too huge. However, in the next second, the feedback from Faceless left Wen Yu dumbfounded!
"Big boss... save me..."
These four short words seemed to convey the dire situation Faceless was experiencing inside Ibira's belly.
Without a second thought, Wen Yu immediately summoned the power of the soul realm and pulled Faceless back. When Wen Yu released Faceless once more, he found that Faceless had transformed back to his original form.
In other words, the Faceless that had just emerged in Fang Yuqiong's state was now dead...
"This..."
"A conceptual instant kill ability, for sure. The moment I entered his belly, I encountered some irresistible force that instantly tore me apart. If it weren’t for your quick reaction, big boss, I would have had to resort to real and illusion, Nine Lives."
Faceless's mental waves transmitted this, clarifying Wen Yu's confusion.
Hearing Faceless's response, Wen Yu immediately broke into a smile.
"This time, it’s getting interesting."

Star Devour (Race Foundation Level, Active Skill): Devour, crush, transform into nutrients, enhance oneself!
The host can consume any organic matter, resulting in absolute kill effects, and can draw nutrients from the devoured object to enhance body quality limits and racial talents.
Note: This skill has no cooldown time; as long as you can swallow, the skill will activate. In other words, the frequency of Star Devour's activation depends on how fast you can open your mouth.
A super ability that combines attack and limit-breaking! Even with a difference of hundreds of times in physical quality, it can still produce an instant kill effect. This is also the power of conceptual abilities.
However, this skill does have some limitations.
The prerequisite for activation is to "swallow." Just now, Faceless only wanted to test Ibira's limits, so he "half-actively" endured that hit from Star Devour.
Against enemies weaker or comparable to himself, the instant kill ability of Star Devour undoubtedly has an overwhelming advantage. However, when faced with clearly stronger foes, this skill isn’t so wonderful. Overall, though, this ability is still much better than the three skills Ibira had displayed earlier.
But for Wen Yu, Star Devour still isn’t very useful—his mouth isn’t nearly as big as Ibira's, and with this ability, Wen Yu could only swallow mice.
...
Star Devour successfully activated, and Faceless was killed in one hit. However, the subsequent step of "transforming into nutrients" abruptly halted.
Faceless's state was already special; what Ibira digested from Faceless was, in strict terms, just a drop of Fang Yuqiong's blood, and the energy contained was naturally limited. Correspondingly, the feedback to Ibira didn't significantly enhance his physical quality.
