Devour

The universe is mysterious, vast, great, and full of wonderful things. The sea of ​​stars is filled with desolation, indifference, and ruthless destructive energy.

The Void Spirit Boat, covered with cracks and corrosion, rushed out of the nebula. The only survivor, an old man, had a firm gaze but his body was shaking.

The cabin was filled with the dried corpses of the dead behind him. There were enemies and friends. The road ahead was strange and unpredictable. There was no matter around him, up, down, front, back, left, and right. Countless large and small geometric lights and shadows without thickness were floating everywhere.

He looked up and could not see the orbits of the stars around him. He had clearly fallen into a confined space and was out of the real world. His face turned pale and he sighed, "Finally they caught up with us."

Geometric shapes of light and shadows appeared one after another, and each one reflected the old man's face, which was old and haggard. Each face was asking him, "The Emperor of the Cloud Realm is not on the Spirit Boat. Where is he hidden?"

The old man sneered, "Lan, you are too late. Go back and look for him slowly. It will be fifteen years. By the time you find him, he will have returned, more powerful than ever. Even Sun Chaser will be powerless to stop him."

"As expected of you, you are the chief elder of the Yingmen Star Region. You have managed to escape like a cicada, and you have wasted another fifteen years of my life."

Countless faces reflected in the light and shadow looked hideous. Suddenly, all the geometric shapes moved without wind, gathered quickly in the distance, and quickly formed a two-dimensional shape of a towering human figure.

A magnificent giant walked out of the plane and transformed into a three-dimensional form, more than 10,000 meters high. His whole body was crystal clear, pure and flawless, with sleek and smooth contours, and his body contained surging colorful energy, as if a human-shaped sun had descended into the world.

The spirit boat in front of him was as small as a toy, and insignificant in Lan's eyes. He said, "You let it slip. The place where the spirit boat passed by fifteen years ago, then the most likely place is Shanhui City on the top of Mount Xumi, or the nearby Qiongqi Continent?"

The old man's eyes twitched slightly, and he said loudly: "Lord Lan, let's die together."

Lan sneered, "Just you?"

The old man showed a sinister smile: "This is the best Void Spirit Boat in the Yingmen Star Region. It is a world-destroying weapon that is powerful enough to kill gods. Attack with all your strength."

The spirit boat concentrated all its energy, and its whole body creaked, and parts of it scattered and disintegrated. A huge sharp hexagonal muzzle protruded from the front, and colorful lightning flashed brilliantly at the top. The terrifying power was shocking, and its target was the magnificent giant.

"Thor's Spear, Lingzhou has actually been integrated into this deadly weapon." Lan was deeply surprised.

The world-destroying divine thunder has been launched. It can penetrate the entire continent and destroy stars. The light is so bright that it is as bright as the hull of a spirit boat. It roars towards Lan madly, but it is like a shy little girl who is late with slow steps.

The old man said in horror: "The space is distorted, the speed of light is useless to him."

"Killing a god? It depends on what god it is."

Lan lazily stretched out his giant palm to block the world-destroying divine thunder. The destructive power dissipated, causing only a slight tremor in his palm, and a few wisps of faint green smoke emerged from the place where the thunder hit.

"This clue is broken. Shanhui City will soon be controlled by the Sun Chaser, and all the emperor's sons will be unable to escape the assassination." In the blink of an eye, Lan turned the spirit boat into a ball of sparks, and all living things were annihilated. Even with the Thunder God's Spear, it was still vulnerable.

……

On the distant Qiongqi continent, numerous exquisite palaces are scattered among the lush trees, with towering buildings and majestic pavilions, looking ancient and magnificent.

The most magnificent open-air hall is beautiful and elegant, solemn and dignified. The altar in the center projects a thick column of light that reaches the sky. Its mighty power that reaches the sky and penetrates the earth attracts the densely packed faithful believers around it to prostrate themselves, forming a wave-like crowd of worshippers around the altar.

The leading man in white robe tilted his neck and danced with his hands, trying his best to activate the altar, injecting a constant stream of vital energy into it. Sweat dripped and flowed behind him, gathering into a small stream. Blood continued to overflow from his seven orifices, dyeing his white robe into a blood-stained shirt.

A large number of believers shouted themselves hoarse and gradually could not hold on any longer. The crowded crowd prostrated themselves on the ground, breathless and turning into stiff corpses.

People kept dying, but the white-robed leader turned a blind eye and continued to cast spells without perseverance. Finally, the pillar of light on the altar gradually shrank, and a figure appeared inside.

The man in white robe was ecstatic, but the surroundings were silent. All the other believers had died, and he was the only one left. He stumbled to the altar, put his hands on the altar, and shouted something to the figure with his last bit of strength. Then he stood there unable to move, and died.

The pillar of light disappeared and a human figure appeared, becoming the only living person left in the palace.

His name was Cheng Bai, and he clearly heard the man in white robes shouting, "Great God, come and save us."

This makes no sense.

Cheng Bai looked around in shock. What he saw was not the road to the college entrance examination venue, but a completely different unknown alien world.

There were only circles of dead bodies piled up around him.

Cheng Bai looked up at the sky, then looked down at the ground. Everything seemed so strange and out of place. He immediately came to his senses: "Travelled through time? No, I was kidnapped. I was taken as a god."

After figuring out the current situation, he jumped up and said, "My college entrance exam, my girlfriend, and my bright future are all gone."

Cheng Bai jumped off the altar with big strides, walked through the crowd of dead bodies, ran up the stairs and ran outside.

He himself was impressed by his own ability to endure. He didn't know if it was because he watched too many horror movies or if he was gifted, but the piles of dead bodies around him hardly caused any psychological burden on him.

The most urgent thing is to determine where this is and how to leave. I can't sleep with a dead person tonight.

The palace complex was luxurious and tall, the gates were wide and heavy, and the door hinges creaked. Cheng Bai used all his strength to push open the sturdy door and walked out of the palace.

Outside the door is a vast plateau and scattered jungles. Under the azure sky, unknown flowers, plants and trees compete for beauty and emit fragrance. The clear river flows like a jade belt at the foot of the mountain. The scenery is beautiful and colorful.

Before he had time to appreciate it properly, Cheng Bai hurriedly retreated back to the palace. He hastily closed the heavy door with a dull sound and propped it up with his back.

There's more to it than just scenery outside.

Cheng Bai had sharp eyes and reacted quickly. He saw a green-faced spider as big as a millstone, a slowly moving tree spirit with hands and feet, and a creature with multiple heads swimming in the distant river.

"There are monsters. There are monster nests everywhere. What kind of world have I come to?"

A bead of sweat rolled down Cheng Bai's forehead. He walked around the palace twice, recognizing his current situation and understanding what he needed and what he should do.

"Weapons, equipment, techniques, skills, and food are needed to survive in the alien continent. The palace is so big and has had many people there before, so we will definitely be able to find them."

With so many people paying homage and the building being magnificent, the mysterious palace here might be a hidden sect, which must contain treasures, equipment, martial arts secrets, secret arts and talismans.

As long as you find it, practice diligently, and protect your life and property, you will become invincible, open a harem, and enjoy the blessings of many wives.

The more Cheng Bai thought about it, the more beautiful it became. He became so overjoyed that he rummaged through the palace, searching inside and out.

Unfortunately, although I found some books, I couldn't understand the words on them. There were no decent weapons and equipment, but there were some reserves of knives, forks, spoons, food and drinks.

Cheng Bai quickly calmed down and faced the reality.

Although the palace is large, the people here are as poor as monks. There are no rare treasures or martial arts inheritance as expected, only dead bodies in different clothes can be seen from time to time.

After Cheng Bai investigated back and forth, he overturned his previous simple judgment and came up with a new opinion.

The large number of people who died in front of the altar were not the original owners of this place, they were also intruders.

The monks lying dead scattered around the palace were the original owners of this place. They were quickly killed, and then the intruders gathered in front of the altar to worship and cast spells.

What did they do to kill themselves all?

What is the purpose?

Is it just to kidnap myself from the earth?

Cheng Bai couldn't figure it out.

Now after thinking about it, there is one question that makes him feel most incredible.

There is no written language here, so how can we understand what the white-robed leader is shouting?

With many questions in mind, Cheng Bai returned to the altar and squatted in front of the dead body to examine it carefully.

It was obvious that the man in white robe had a noble status, but unfortunately he had no weapons or treasures on him... Wait, he had a unique ring on his hand.

Cheng Bai carefully took off the ring, but the dead man's fingers were stiff and it took a lot of effort to pull it off.

The dark purple ring had stains and bloodstains, the material was warm and crystal clear, and there were some runes on it. Maybe it was a magic weapon.

Cheng Bai rubbed it with his fingers and wiped it with the corner of his clothes, trying to make it cleaner and see what was inside. Maybe he could wipe out a ring elf.

As he turned around, his hand accidentally slipped and the ring fell on the altar with a clang, rolling to the center. When he was about to go up to pick it up, he saw a faint light on the altar and the ring disappeared without a trace.

Cheng Bai opened his eyes wide and blinked twice to make sure he was not seeing things. On the large altar that was in full view, something real had disappeared.

But the faint light did not disappear. Instead, it split into three faint light balls, slowly floated in front of Cheng Bai, and turned into three runes.

At that moment, Cheng Bai understood the contents of the rune... No, it was the rune that told Cheng Bai the relevant content. There were three secret techniques with completely different functions.

The first is "Tongue of Fire", which can convert alcohol into flames and cause fire damage.

The second is "robbery blade", which is to improve skills and attack power when using sharp blade equipment.

The third is "assassination". When transforming into stealth state, the target is prone to ignore defense and damage weaknesses.

Cheng Bai's eyes lit up. The mysterious altar was indeed hiding a secret. There was a reason why so many people were worshipping it like crazy.

But unfortunately, you can only choose one of the three secret techniques.

Cheng Bai thought for a moment, then slowly grabbed the assassination ball of light. The runes immediately merged into his body, and he mastered this secret technique in an instant. The other two runes then dissipated.

Treasures can be exchanged for secret techniques on the mysterious altar. Cheng Bai was very excited after understanding the secret, but he did not think about what kind of treasure the ring was.

Not choosing the other two secret arts was after serious consideration. Currently, the best food in the palace is rice wine, and of course we should not waste food on ammunition. After searching for a long time, we did not find any suitable sharp blades or weapons, so the most suitable secret art for the moment is undoubtedly assassination.

After trying it out, it turned out that he could turn invisible as he wished. With a support, Cheng Bai became much bolder.

The best weapon to be found in the palace is a mace.

Cheng Bai held the mace, mustered his strength, pushed the door open, and showed an obscene smile.

Who else but me can be the king of the double-clutch?
