Devour

Cheng Bai saw it and hurriedly warned, "Don't come over, I'll deal with it."

The domain image was opened, and the Taotie vision appeared. A lifelike huge beast head pounced on Fei, opened its mouth and bit off a large piece of meat from Fei's back.

Fei let out a terrifying roar that was as loud as thunder, and he was completely defenseless against the beast head vision.

"An energy creature, huh? You're exactly what I want. I'm going to eat you." Upon seeing this, Cheng Bai activated the beast head domain and took one bite after another with relish. In a blink of an eye, Fei was devoured until only half of his body was left in tatters.

The monster couldn't hold on any longer and turned into smoke and disappeared, along with the poisonous gas and sea of ​​fire that surrounded it.

Cheng Bai took back the domain, feeling overjoyed: "It was such an easy victory. The Ladder of All Things turned out to be my dining table, what can you do to me?"

The levels continued to rise slowly. Lu Miaoting and Xiaobai looked at each other. They could still help a little in the first few levels, but now they have become a complete burden.

Cheng Bai secretly admired the function of the Ladder of All Things. The higher one went, the stronger the monsters became, the wider the area became, and the solider the environment became. It was unlike the seemingly independent dimension located within the belly of the mountain. It was completely in line with the strength of the challenger... No, it was getting stronger and stronger, completely surpassing the challenger.

The stone skin of the 35-layer stone statue faded away quickly, and the new monster was even more majestic, over a hundred meters long, with a tiger body and wings, bristles like spears, and claws sharp enough to split mountains. It was clearly the Qiongqi that they had encountered once before.

When Cheng Bai fled that time, he was actually considering that Lu Miaoting and Xiaobai were nearby. If he failed, the consequences would be disastrous. Otherwise, with his personality, he would have fought for a while at least. Now he is much stronger and is full of confidence in facing the challenges that he had never been able to overcome before.

As soon as Qiongqi met, he used the Tribulation Blade Wave, which collided with Cheng Bai's dull black spiritual sword energy, annihilating each other. The strength increased from the third level, to the fifth level, to the seventh level, and it was difficult to determine the winner.

Cheng Bai knew that Qiongqi’s strength was far more than that.

Sure enough, after the seventh level of sword energy, the incoming waves of calamity blades penetrated the space, coming one after another from all directions and different angles. It was strange and difficult to defend against, and it was difficult to resist with sword energy alone.

Cheng Bai teleported, avoiding dozens of blade waves, and appeared in another location. He shot with both hands, and the sniper secret technique formed vibration wave bullets, which poured towards the opponent in multiple sword auras. In the past, opponents could not withstand this continuous attack like a storm.

Unexpectedly, Qiongqi also disappeared and appeared behind Cheng Bai in an instant, with multiple cross blade waves coming one after another to kill him.

Cheng Baimao was horrified. He hastily used his spiritual shield to block the fatal blow and was knocked away. He suddenly realized, "It uses teleportation to perfection. Not only can it teleport itself at will, but even its attack methods can be transmitted far away. That's why it's so weird and hard to defend against."

This means that Qiongqi's skills, maturity and experience are far superior to Cheng Bai's.

In the following battle, both sides teleported and moved at such speeds that they seemed to be turning into flashes of light.

Lu Miaoting and Xiaobai were unable to capture the battle trajectory of both sides. They could only see the light tracks constantly jumping in the Ladder of All Things, unable to distinguish between friend and foe.

At such a fast speed, ordinary moves can't hit the opponent at all. Whether it's thunder and fire bullets or sniper bullets, the speed of shooting is not as fast as the speed of dodging, which becomes a joke in actual combat.

Cheng Bai saw his own limits. So far, his skills were not perfect enough, his skills were not mature enough, and he was far from being a veteran. He had to constantly hone himself and improve his experience in battle.

He improved his coping skills in the fierce battle and suddenly performed the Eight Immortals Tour, with two afterimages appearing. One image was wielding the Seven-Layered Black Spirit, and the other image was using a knife to open the Gate of Life and Death.

Qiongqi showed a sly smile and suddenly split into two figures, each of them unleashed multiple waves of calamity blades to meet the two afterimages respectively.

The sword light faded away, and the effort was in vain. Cheng Bai immediately discovered the gap between them when they met in close combat, and was greatly shocked.

The two Qiongqi that appeared from the secret technique of clones were real and not false illusions. If they were injured, the clones would bear the brunt of the damage, while the original body would remain unharmed, and the attacks would be eliminated without a trace. It was simply against the will of heaven.

The Eight Immortals are not clones and are obviously inferior to them. The two afterimages are one fake and one real. The seven-fold sword energy is a fake move, and the sword that opens the gate of life and death is the killing move, but it cannot hurt the enemy. The first and strongest move was unsuccessful and failed to work.

The two Qiongqi attacked from both sides, from the front and from the back, making Cheng Bai so flustered that he couldn't take care of himself.

In a hurry, Cheng Bai used the Eight Immortals to transform into three afterimages to confuse his opponent, and his real body teleported away.

A clone of Qiongqi followed closely and instantly appeared behind Cheng Bai, using the Tribulation Blade Wave to chop him down.

However, the wave of calamity blades only hit the spirit shield, and it was the Qiongqi clone that let out the miserable howl, a large part of the key part of its lower body was missing, and the Taotie vision opened its big mouth and chewed happily.

The clever hunter anticipated that Qiongqi would teleport behind him, and prepared a trap under its butt.

With one successful move, Cheng Bai used the secret technique of the spiritual eye to the maximum effect, predicted the next move of Qiongqi, and teleported at the same time with the beast head domain to chase after Qiongqi's clone.

The functions of the spiritual eye secret technique and the teleportation secret technique were deeply explored. The opponent's teleportation position was predicted instantly, and the opponent was moved there first to launch an attack. He succeeded repeatedly, and the beast head domain devoured one of the clones until it was incomplete.

As for the other clone, Cheng Bai did not forget to create an afterimage to attract the other party's attention.

He used this tactic in a short period of time, swallowed up the clone of Qiongqi, turned around to attack the other one, and relied on the beast head's supernatural instinct to devour the energy body to bite the Qiongqi into pieces, and managed to turn the defeat around and kill the opponent.

Seeing the skeleton of the demon beast exposed and broken disappear into green smoke, Cheng Bai secretly called out that he was lucky. It turned out that the beast head domain was his biggest trump card. He suddenly realized in his heart: "If this Qiongqi also has spiritual eyes and sees through my Eight Immortals Tour residual image, or turns around to attack Lu Miaoting and Xiaobai, how should I deal with it?"

He immediately broke out in a cold sweat. The monster that appeared from the Ladder of All Things was no less powerful than the demon beast in person, but its cunning habits were slightly different from those of Qiongqi itself. He was afraid: "Unless I have a secret technique that can greatly increase my strength, or other abilities, I may be helpless."

Watching the level slowly rise again, Cheng Bai took out the fat beast crystal core and a dozen magic eagle crystal cores, and let the beast head domain devour them. The pure true essence gathered into Jianmu, like rivers returning to the sea, rapidly enhancing his own strength, preparing to face more powerful opponents.

The 36-story stone statue shed its stone skin and strode over. It was burly, standing nearly 3 meters tall, with strong limbs, dark blue skin, a bald head and no beard, slit-like eyes, no ears, nose or mouth, and eight tentacles that swayed from its chin, ranging from thick to thin.

I saw this guy when I first went to the Faceless Rift. Later I determined that he was a faceless leader whose strength was far superior to that of ordinary faceless people.

Cheng Bai didn't expect that its level was even higher than the much larger Qiongqi, and its momentum was no less inferior to that of the ancient monster. It was ferocious and swift, exuding a terrifying oppressive force.

The faceless leader approached at an extremely fast speed, as if the moving distance suddenly disappeared. He was close in an instant, and his hands and feet were slashing with knives, stabbing with swords, stabbing with spears, chopping with axes, smashing with sticks, ripping with hooks, swinging with whips, etc., as if one person was holding eighteen weapons at the same time to kill him.

His moves are profound and extensive. When simple, they are simple and ancient, and when complex, they are strange and changeable. They are the type that completely relies on powerful physical skills to crush the opponent. His martial arts skills are so high that the so-called masters seen before pale in comparison. In comparison, they are simply crude and like a fight between three-year-old children.

Cheng Bai was surprised at the opponent's exquisite martial arts and dodged and retreated repeatedly.

Going up the Ladder of All Things, the opponents' use of secret techniques over the past ten levels became more and more unbelievable. At this level, they suddenly changed to victory through martial arts, which was unexpected.

Fortunately, after fierce battles with Fei and Qiongqi, Cheng Bai devoured a lot of energy and many crystal cores. Both his experience and skills improved by leaps and bounds. He moved around like the Eight Immortals, waiting for opportunities to attack with sword energy, avoiding the real and attacking the fake, and the battle was not as fierce and dangerous as the one against Qiongqi just now.

After fighting for a hundred moves, Cheng Bai suddenly realized that the Faceless Leader did not lack secret skills, but he had practiced these secret skills to improve his martial arts, enhancing his whole body's strength, physique, toughness, and speed, turning himself into a fighting machine.

By specializing in strengthening your body and reaching your ultimate combat power, you can also become invincible.

The faceless leader moved his body with his fists, chasing the target, tearing open the air with violent pressure, the roar of sonic booms like the sound of a huge bell, and the surging air waves made Lu Miaoting and Xiaobai, who had retreated to the edge, look pale, and they could only feel a slight chill rising from under their feet.

Cheng Bai's cultivation and speed have greatly improved compared to the previous battle. He sent out seven levels of sword energy, but was completely neutralized by the opponent's fists and palms. The afterimages created by the Eight Immortals were instantly shattered by a single blow from the powerful fist. Only the vibration waves of the sniper secret technique could occasionally force the opponent away.

The faceless leader stretched his body, twisted it at an incredible angle, and attacked from an incredible position, with both hands and feet simultaneously, as if he had eighteen pairs of hands and eighteen pairs of feet, with various moves and attacking at a faster speed like a violent storm, smashing any objects that came into contact with him to pieces.

Cheng Bai felt the pressure was getting bigger and bigger, and he got really angry and said angrily: "I don't believe that your fist is more powerful than my sword."

He activated the Six Paths of Supremacy, and the Jianmu in his Dantian continuously provided him with mana. The sword energy was very different from before, and its power increased dramatically. He slashed out nine levels of sword energy in succession, and the lethality increased greatly. Amid the sound of metal clashing, the Guxi Sword and the Faceless Man's commander's fists clashed hundreds of times.

When Cheng Bai changed his position and raised the blade in front of his eyes, the once perfect Kuaixi Sword was obviously distorted. He was filled with shock: "Kaixi Sword lost to him. His fist is harder than star gold."

With the help of the Six Paths of Supremacy, the sword energy was so powerful that the faceless commander's punch could even hurt the sword. His physical strength was so strong and domineering that he had never seen anything like it before.

When masters fight, a slight mistake can lead to a huge error. The distortion of the knife has a significant impact in high-precision combat, causing the knife's fluency and power to be much less than before.

Cheng Bai knew clearly that without the sword's defense, he would have difficulty in confronting the enemy head-on. The reason he had the upper hand in the hand-to-hand combat with Qu Cong that day was because King Duo'ermi was slightly inferior to him. Now the Faceless Man's leader was several levels stronger than himself, so he must not be arrogant.

The faceless leader's punch was so powerful that it made the spiritual shield shake. He saw his fist coming again with unstoppable force, but the force arrived before the fist.

The sonic booms of the battle tore the air apart, and the surging air waves hit their faces. Lu Miaoting, who was watching the battle, hurriedly put her face close to Xiao Bai's and covered one of their ears. She covered her own ear with one hand, and covered Xiao Bai's other ear with the other hand, trying to minimize the impact of the sound waves, but still felt the trembling from the depths of her soul.

Cheng Bai was determined to win, and thought to himself: "If I try again, I still have room for improvement." He simply used his strongest killing move, the knife, to open the gate of life and death, and used the secret technique of teleportation to avoid the punch and kill him at close range.

The knife came into close contact with the opponent's fist again, causing it to be twisted and deformed even more, and cracks actually appeared.

Compared to the multiple black spirits that win by stacking their numbers, the fifth knife is still better and more powerful. The faceless leader was injured by the knife and fell to the ground, but he quickly got up. This was the first person who stood up so firmly after being killed by the knife.

"I feel I'm half a step closer to the sixth sword, just a little bit more." Cheng Bai's eyes twitched slightly, his mind racing. If the opponent was a flesh and blood creature, it wouldn't be so easy with the bonus of the slaughter secret technique.

But now he had no choice but to use his trump card. The beast head domain appeared behind the faceless commander and opened its big mouth silently. As his strength continued to increase, the anomaly could also assassinate.

The faceless commander was able to sense the abnormality and punched back, but unfortunately the Taotie monster was not an ordinary object. When he retracted his arm, his fist and forearm were bitten by the beast and disappeared.

The opponent was seriously injured, and Cheng Bai suddenly felt the pressure was greatly reduced.

The Beast Head Domain took advantage of the victory and displayed their great power. They cooperated with each other to besiege the opponent, with swords flashing and beast shadows flying, and they had the upper hand.

The faceless leader danced with joy, distracted by this and that, and when he swung his fist, his fist disappeared; when he kicked, his foot disappeared; his limbs and head were devoured one after another, and he suddenly fell to the ground and turned into smoke and disappeared.

Relying on the Taotie vision, he achieved a surprise victory in a short period of time.

The level is still rising slowly, and stronger enemies are about to appear.

Cheng Bai took out his treasure bag and thought to himself, "Will I be forced to eat up all the elixirs in stock to improve my power here? No, there must be a way to stop the war and leave."

Looking up, I still couldn't see where the top of the Ladder of All Things was. The levels and stone statues above seemed endless.

37 layers of the stone statue's skin fell off, but the monster did not come out immediately, but just looked around.

Cheng Bai looked at the knife with obvious cracks and thought to himself, "The knife is about to break, let's end this quickly."

The other party stood there hesitating for a moment, and then a stunningly handsome young man walked out. His face was smooth and white, his expression was stern, his eyes were dark and deep, his sword-like eyebrows were straight and slanted, he had a straight nose, charming lips, long black hair, and a little gold sand between his eyebrows, he exuded nobility, elegance and transcendence.

The beautiful boy actually said: "Everyone, are you ready?"

Cheng Bai was slightly stunned.

This is the first opponent in the Ladder of All Things who can communicate in language. It is obviously different from the ferocious monsters, but the monsters in the Ladder of All Things include humans, and this was also the case on the third level, so it is not too strange.

Before, it was always the stone monster that attacked first, but this time Cheng Bai took the initiative, teleported close to his opponent, used his sword to open the gate of life and death, and was determined to decide the outcome with one sword.

The beautiful boy's pupils suddenly contracted, and he raised a golden mace in his hand to block.

When the two sides were about to engage in battle to decide the winner, the beautiful boy suddenly turned into smoke and disappeared without a trace.
