“I like this place.”Wang Baole’s deep laughter could be heard from within the Black Fog.

At that moment, as he walked through the broken door, the black fog surged in crazily, dyeing every inch of the first floor of the restaurant. As everything decayed, green flames appeared and began to burn.

As the flames burned, Wang Baole walked towards the stairs. With every step he took, the stairs would turn into ashes and disappear. However, the restaurant still existed and didn’t show any signs of collapsing.

Just like that, Wang Baole walked to the second floor of the restaurant. There were individual private rooms on the second floor of the restaurant. The moment he stepped on them, all the doors of the private rooms opened with a loud bang. Cultivators with bloodshot eyes charged out from within, they charged straight at Wang Baole.

However, before they could get close, from the black fog surrounding Wang Baole’s body, shadows that looked like malicious ghosts rushed out as they writhed. They floated out ferociously and charged straight at the cultivators. Wherever they passed by.., tragic sounds reverberated once again. The cultivators’bodies withered upon contact and eventually dissipated.

Only the dozens of ghosts let out soundless roars, emitting a strong aura of desire. They swam around the second level and eventually returned to Wang Baole, crawling down one by one.

The Law of gluttony. Once one has comprehended it to a certain extent, one can create their own nightmare of desire. Any one of these nightmares of desire, thrown into a small world, can turn that world into a sea of misery

Wang Baole shook his head. With a wave of his hand, the second level was completely decayed. He walked towards the third level. There were only three rooms in the third level.

As the nightmare of desire rushed in, the three rooms turned into ashes, revealing... the figures of three cultivators who were sitting cross-legged in meditation.

Two elders and a blood scale that looked like a demon beast.

At that moment, the two elders were trembling, as if they wanted to open their eyes. However, they were unable to do so. They could only allow the nightmare of desire to approach them greedily, following the pores and orifices of their bodies and entering them crazily.

As for the blood scale, after Wang Baole stepped into the third level, there were symbols shining on the scale between his brows. It seemed to have put up some resistance. Only then did he manage to open his eyes, revealing blood-red pupils filled with fear, he looked at Wang Baole.

“This is yours?”Wang Baole said calmly. With a wave of his hand, the blood-red scale that he had taken from the table in the shop floated in front of the blood scale.

The blood scale trembled. Its eyes seemed to struggle as it tried to look up. Just as it tried to look up, a sigh came slowly from the fourth level of the restaurant.

“Fellow Daoist, you’ve gone too far. If you leave now, I’ll pretend that nothing happened.”

As he spoke, the wall between the third and fourth levels of the restaurant became blurry. Above Wang Baole, a figure appeared on the fourth level.

The figure was similar to him. It was pitch-black, like a vortex. One could only vaguely see that there was someone meditating inside. As the fog churned, a pair of eyes appeared and looked at Wang Baole.

At the same time, within the vortex of the figure, there were also dozens of nightmares of desire. They spread out and roared at Wang Baole, causing the nightmares of desire around Wang Baole to raise their heads as well, as if they had met their mortal enemy, their killing intent exploded.

Wang Baole’s expression remained the same, and he didn’t say anything. However, at that moment, the scale floating in front of the blood scale exploded when the blood scale saw four layers of figures appear. It heaved a sigh of relief and turned into sharp spikes, it instantly pierced through the blood scale’s forehead and continued to explode within its body. The blood scale didn’t even have time to make a sound before it was destroyed in body and soul.

This scene immediately made the four layers of figures clearly angry.

“You’re courting death!”As the muffled voice rang out, the four layers of figures seemed to stand up cross-legged. Immediately, the vortex that they were in expanded and turned into a giant that was more than two hundred feet tall. It was earth-shattering.

The Giant’s entire body was pitch-black. Fog swirled around him, and his aura was overwhelming. When he stood up, it was as if he could support the heavens. He raised his right hand and swung it down toward Wang Baole.

As he attacked, the waves of desire from his entire body erupted, affecting all directions. The residents of the city of appetites were shaken.

Gazes gathered from all directions.

“It’s the meat minion!”

“A meat minion is making his move!”

As these voices reverberated in the air, within the city of appetite, eight gigantic figures that were a thousand feet tall appeared in all eight directions of the city of appetite. Each figure was like a mountain of meat, they looked at the area with a strong and shocking pressure.

The appearance of these eight figures immediately caused all the noise to disappear, turning into respect. That was because they were the eight gluttonous eaters of the city of appetite.

The instant the eight gluttonous eaters’eyes landed on the restaurant, the giant made of minced meat slammed its palm down. Wherever it passed, the restaurant collapsed completely, and the palm landed on the top of Wang Baole’s head.

However... it could no longer press down!

Wang Baole stood under the palm, not moving an inch. What supported the palm were the nightmares of desire that emanated from him.

“It’s my turn to say those three words. You’re courting death.”The moment Wang Baole spoke calmly, his body exploded. The vortex that he was in suddenly expanded and exploded. Thirty feet, twenty feet, thirty feet, forty feet!

As it expanded, the giant’s hand continued to expand until it reached its limit. It seemed like it wanted to retract it, but it was grabbed by Wang Baole. In the next moment, when the vortex that Wang Baole was in exploded to forty feet.., he lowered his head and looked at the terrified meat loaf.

“You...”just as the Meat Loaf finished speaking, Wang Baole opened his mouth and sucked hard at him. It was as if a storm had blown back, or a black hole had exploded. A huge suction force was emitted from Wang Baole’s mouth, it caused the law of appetite on the Meat Loaf’s body to collapse instantly, and it charged toward Wang Baole.

“How dare you!”In the distance, the shadow of a thousand-foot-tall glutton growled. It raised its right hand towards Wang Baole and grabbed at him. Wherever it passed, the sky and earth changed color, and the wind and clouds swirled. The sky was covered, it turned into a part of the giant hand and was about to grab at Wang Baole.

However, at that moment, a cold laugh came from the northwest direction. The other glutton who was in the shadow also raised his hand and attacked the palm in the sky.

“Tuo Lingzi, it’s best that you don’t participate in the Battle of meat paste.”

“Zhou Huo, how dare you stop me!”

Amidst the loud boom, the two large hands in the sky came into contact with each other. As they fought against each other, Wang Baole had already sucked the meat paste disciple dry, causing the black vortex on his body to collapse, revealing his aged figure, he was on his last breath. After being thrown aside, as the desire in his body surged, his figure rose from forty feet to fifty feet. He stood there and raised his head to look at the sky.

Wang Baole didn’t say a word. He cupped his fists at the glutton who had helped him. Then, he turned around and walked towards the direction of his shop. As he walked, his figure became smaller and smaller. Eventually, he became an ordinary person.

The number of gazes that landed on him didn’t decrease. Instead, they increased.

It was impossible for any faction to be in harmony. This was especially so in a place where one’s desire to cultivate was unavoidable. Internal strife and conflicts were unavoidable. Therefore, what Wang Baole had to do was to show his worth.

Ice Spirit Water was a value, and its own powerful law of desire was even more valuable.

Both were available. Even though there were people who would target him, there would definitely be people who were willing to come into contact and show goodwill.
