Devour

The current situation is unclear and any rash action might only alert the enemy.

Be patient for a while, the three magma beasts are not moving slowly, and they are more than 400 miles apart. As time goes by, there is still no Yali showing up to hunt.

Cheng Bai re-examined whether there were any loopholes in his plan, frowned slightly, remained silent, and continued to monitor the area where the magma monster was with his spiritual sense.

When they are more than 600 miles apart and the situation has not changed, if they are allowed to continue running, they may be beyond the perception range of the Phoenix force, and it will be difficult to control the situation and grasp the outcome.

Cheng Bai pursed his lips and took a deep breath, calming his mind and concentrating his attention, while continuously using the Phoenix Force to track the target.

As an excellent hunter, if you want to lure the enemy into your territory, you need enough patience and determination.

Unconsciously, the three magma beasts were more than a thousand miles apart, on the verge of Cheng Bai's perception range. Suddenly, a strong wave came without any warning, and the murderous and violent momentum surged like a raging sea. The brutality and terror of the power could be felt thousands of miles away.

The magma monster that was the farthest away had most of its body bitten off in an instant, and it didn't even have time to scream. Only two steaming ankles of the monster were left on the ground.

Cheng Bai's heart trembled slightly, and he secretly exclaimed: "It's so fast, I can't even sense his appearance clearly."

Another lava beast far away was also attacked in the same way, followed by a third one. In just a short breath, the seemingly distant hunting process was over. The way they died was almost the same, without even the slightest chance of resistance.

After three thrilling attacks, Cheng Bai finally sensed the exact location of the Yali. It was a giant monster about a mile long, with a cow's body and a human face, green hair and horse feet, and its physique was slightly larger than that of the Ice Hound.

The Yali devoured the prey with relish, seemingly unsatisfied. It looked up to the sky and howled loudly, shaking the clouds. It said contemptuously, "The snacks I released are too small, barely filling the gaps between my teeth. For the sake of your filial piety to me, I will not kill you today, so stop hiding."

The shape of a yak appeared in the sky. Cheng Bai led Zhai Xufei and Bei Tingjun in a clear and unrestrained manner, and they flew through the air and slowly landed on the ground.

Yali stretched out his blood-red tongue to lick the remaining meat crumbs at the corner of his mouth and laughed creepily: "Hey! Look who's here! Isn't this little brother Zhai and little sister Bei? You guys took advantage of us."

Cheng Bai bowed and said, "Thank you for showing mercy, senior."

Zhai Xufei and Bei Tingjun accompanied him and saluted, saying, "I am a humble junior and would like to greet the Great Immortal Yali."

“It can’t be considered as showing mercy. It’s been years since I’ve had a living creature delivered to my doorstep. I was so greedy that I couldn’t resist… hehehe!” Yayu turned around and walked into the ruins of the palace with lazy but powerful steps, not forgetting to throw down a cruel word: “You have little skills, so just fend for yourself. Don’t expect to find even a single chance tomorrow!”

Cheng Bai felt a little relieved. After confirming that Yali would not attack again today, he could think of more ways to deal with it.

He glanced at the sky and saw that it was about the beginning of the Shen hour, so there was still enough time before the dark wind started to rage at the You hour. So he took Zhai Xufei and Bei Tingjun and followed closely behind Yali.

Passing through the ruins, he passed by several broken beams and pillars, all of which were made of extraordinary materials. Cheng Bai aimed at the target and used the Phoenix Power to absorb dozens of Ghost Mother's Eyes attached to them, and put them into the Sumeru Mustard Seed one by one.

Yali ignored their actions and strode into the dilapidated ancient palace.

The rich vitality surged like a tide, making Cheng Bai and others' eyes bright.

This building is undoubtedly the first among the many palace complexes. Only half of the ruins remain, but it is still as majestic as a mountain. There are countless blurred ancient texts and indistinguishable broken stone statues between the broken walls, just like cliff carvings that have been eroded by wind and rain.

Yayu looked deep in his eyes and said leisurely, "What a magnificent sight you have seen. The ruins of Xianque was once a city of ancient ancestors, belonging to a God King named Yi. He was wise and brave, with extraordinary wisdom. He led his people to prosperity and civilization, and lived in harmony with foreign races, making him famous. Unfortunately, the ancient times came to an end and could not escape the catastrophe of destruction. The ruins you see are the tomb of God King Yi."

Cheng Bai looked around and saw that the ground of the wide hall was rugged and undulating like hills. He couldn't help but ask curiously: "If it is a tomb, why is there no coffin?"

Having said that, his eyes were fixed on a table in the palace that was over 10,000 meters long. The table was made of a huge, rotten, fossilized tree, and on it was a huge, lifeless skeleton.

Yayu lies in front of the altar like a mountain, and tells the story of the ancient past in a voice full of pressure: "In the era of the Five Ancient Emperors, many heroes emerged. One emperor, grateful for the loyalty and righteousness of King Yishen, opened his coffin and resurrected him to intimidate the world. Unfortunately, King Yishen's resurrection was not complete, and he lost part of the ancient demon god's body. He is almost a new life."

Cheng Bai was secretly surprised: "The Great Emperor's methods are beyond belief, why did he only resurrect part of him? Could it be that he was secretly on guard and weakened him?"

Yali continued, "The new Lord Yi is smart and capable, but his abilities are much less than those of his previous life. He travels with the emperor all over the country, and the original tomb has become his palace. The former coffin of the God King is also a treasure, and the material has long been integrated into this place."

Cheng Bai asked doubtfully, "Lord Yi should have risen to higher positions step by step on the smooth road, and should have returned to the throne of God King by sitting in the temple of the Immortal Palace. Why did the world change so drastically? Could it be that the good times will not last long?"

Yali snorted, his tone revealing a hint of indignation: "Such an excellent god will naturally arouse dissatisfaction from opponents. Those self-righteous despicable villains colluded with each other and claimed that Lord Yi was the reincarnation of an ancient demon, forcing him to lose his power and live in seclusion here. It was not until the end of the ancient times that the situation changed."

Cheng Bai's eyes flickered as he guessed, "Could it be that we are experiencing a change of dynasty?"

Yali sighed and said, "The succession of dynasties is like reincarnation. The new generation of emperors entrusted important tasks to Lord Yi, who was appreciated and participated in the matter with gratitude. However, things are unpredictable and he unfortunately died on the battlefield. The emperor ordered people to bring Lord Yi back to this place and revive him."

"Did he survive successfully?" Cheng Bai looked at Yayu's unusually tall and mighty body, which was very different from the records of the ancient gods. Could it be that he lost something during the resurrection process?

Yayu snorted coldly, glanced at the skeleton on the altar with resentment, and roared: "I only resurrected a tiny part of my body, and now I am neither human nor beast nor ghost. The emperor believes that the authentic Lord Yi no longer exists, and that I am useless and no different from a bloodthirsty demon. He discarded me like a worn-out shoe and ignored me from now on... I hate it!"

Seeing his bloodshot eyes, burning with rage and murderous intent, Cheng Bai quickly changed the subject and said, "The two resurrections were incomplete, leaving the God King's body incomplete. Where did his dead body go?"

Yayu pointed to the ground and said in a cold voice: "The first body of the God King was buried here."

Cheng Bai unleashed the power of the Phoenix, and his perception range quickly spread in all directions like flowing water. He clearly realized that the ground was made up of huge fossils of the skeletons of the God King, which were staggered and spliced ​​together, embedded in the ground and integrated with palace buildings, so it was uneven.

Looking at the skeleton stretching for thousands of meters, the picture is shocking!

Cheng Bai suddenly realized that the "magnificent scene" that Yali had mentioned earlier was not the broken pillars and ruins of the building, but the skeleton of the God King that he was so proud of. He could not help but be secretly shocked: "Judging from the size of the corpse, it is undoubtedly the largest God King I have ever seen in the Nine-Layered Abyss."

Yali pointed his lips at the altar and said disdainfully: "The second time was even more miserable. The remains of Lord Yi were not complete when they were sent back to his hometown. This master suspected that the villain was deliberately framing him and left a demon in his heart. Even now, killing him cannot relieve the hatred in my heart!"

Cheng Bai didn't think so, and muttered in his heart: "I'm afraid it's because of lack of ability. The Night Demon Mistress and other God Kings have not been resurrected. Letting a God Lord resurrect part of his body, isn't that the best he can do?"

However, King Yishen was resurrected twice, first to the Lord of God and then to the current Lord of Yali. His status and position fell again and again, and he is no longer his original self.

Yali's eyes were eerie and strange, and he laughed coldly, "Whether it's a tomb or a palace, the skeleton of the God King is used as the basis to set up a formation to control the laws of time and space in the area. It's easy to get in, but hard to get out! The flow of time is much slower than in the outside world, and one day outside is equivalent to three days here. You, who don't know how to live or die, followed me in, and there are exactly three of you. You will serve as my food tomorrow, so it's not a wasted trip."
