A thread of vitality seemed to emerge unexpectedly. A flicker of inexplicable emotion swept past the depths of those dead grey eyes.
“Lord Crimson Flame, you must wait for me in the River of the Undead. Do not let the will within the River of the Undead extinguish you. I, your Mo Li, will find you soon and bring you back to life from the River of the Undead.”
This figure clenched his fists tightly.
Boom!
A terrifying aura erupted from his body, transforming into an endless ocean, his gaze resolute.
If Qin Chen were here, he would be immensely surprised, for this person was Mo Li from the cosmic sea, who had somehow come to this Underworld, even arriving at the location of Five Peaks City.
“I will achieve one hundred consecutive victories.”
Mo Li stepped forward and abruptly disappeared from this place.
However, before Mo Li could approach Five Peaks City...
Swish, swish, swish!
Several figures suddenly appeared, surrounding Mo Li.
“Hahaha, another guy coming to Five Peaks City to test his luck. Look at his aura; he’s merely at the second transcendence. Kill him.”
“Heh heh, we’ve already pulled off several heists during this time. After this one, we’ll vanish to avoid being discovered by the people of Five Peaks City and getting executed by the law enforcement team.”
“Kill!”
These were a few underworld ghost cultivators, each shrouded in terrifying killing intent, who immediately launched attacks on Mo Li.
Ghost thieves.
In the Underworld, chaos reigned, and many ghost cultivators would disguise themselves as ghost thieves to plunder and grow stronger. Even many reputable factions would occasionally take on the role of ghost thieves.
During the day, they would cultivate normally, but at night, they would don disguises and become ghost thieves, slaughtering everywhere.
Roar!
These ghost thieves were all at the second transcendence, and the leader was a rat-like figure, only a step away from the third transcendence, who immediately unleashed their respective divine abilities.
The ghost cultivator opened its mouth wide, and with a buzzing sound, a massive rat god illusion appeared behind it, towering with a height of ten thousand zhang, its eyes radiating a dark glow. That giant mouth, resembling a vortex, instantly swallowed Mo Li.
“Hahaha, too weak, not enough for me to even take a bite.”
The rat-headed ghost cultivator let out a sinister laugh, but before his laughter died down, his expression suddenly twisted in agony.
“Ah, it hurts!”
Crack, crack, crack!
The rat god illusion, formed from his innate divine ability, abruptly twisted in pain, and amidst a series of booming sounds, countless cracks suddenly appeared on the illusion, then bang, the entire rat god illusion instantly shattered into ashes.
In the endless darkness, a pitch-black figure emerged—it was Mo Li.
His face contorted, and the overwhelming deathly aura from the shattered rat god illusion was sucked into his body. Bumps began to rise on his flesh, making him appear ghostly.
Reverse devouring.
“Ah... what the hell is this guy?”
The rat ghost cultivator showed a look of terror. After his rat god illusion devoured the opponent, not only did it fail to refine him, but instead, the opponent was reverse devouring him—this was simply unheard of.
Before him, Mo Li’s flesh squirmed and transformed into something resembling a worm, covered in dark tendrils and liquid, like an unknown entity emerging from the endless darkness.
Boom!
Amidst the terrified gaze of the rat ghost cultivator, one of the tendrils transformed into a large hand, fiercely striking its head, grasping it tightly. Glug, glug, glug, the hand morphed into liquid, enveloping the rat ghost cultivator, and with a splat, it devoured him whole, instantly obliterated amid the horrifying chewing sounds.
“Not good, the boss is dead.”
“Monster, this guy is a monster.”
“Run!”
Boom, boom, boom!
Several beams of light shot into the sky. The remaining second transcendence ghost cultivators looked terrified and immediately attempted to escape.
