Ding Meng didn't dodge. He had some reservations about dealing with Origin Ability users, but he was more confident than anyone in dealing with Devouring World creatures. The reason was simple: the K Virus modified by Serum Shan was the nemesis of all poisons.
Seeing the city rudder's Black Mist Arm Blade approaching him, Ding Meng didn't panic. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood that flickered with white light. This was the K Virus blood mixed with the Divine Light's energy.
The city's rudder was simply too fast, and it almost crashed into Ding Meng. The blood quickly spread out and formed a blood mist, which enveloped the city in an instant.
The city rudder felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His facial muscles contracted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his entire body spasmed. He felt as if he had been hit by an earth-shattering blow.
"Howl — — —"
The city rudder was thrown into the air. He probably couldn't stand the pain, and his body turned into a black mist.
The blood that Ding Meng spat out probably wouldn't cause any harm to Origin Ability users, but it would be fatal to Devouring World creatures. The poisoned air around them began to dissipate, and the air finally returned to its usual foggy, cold state.
The black mist in the air changed. A moment later, a wild boar monster the size of a Steel Mane Warrior fell down. It howled angrily at Ding Meng, "Bastard, you actually forced me to reveal my immortal aperture. You're dead for sure today."
Ding Meng smiled. "So you're a boar monster. Very good!"
The Devouring World creatures had a special characteristic when they evolved. No matter what form they evolved into, they would always be in the form of their previous host. The fact that the city rudder had turned into a wild boar meant that his immortal aperture hadn't been fully cultivated. At the very least, he wasn't like Leng Yin, who had a true human form.
Of course, in terms of strength, he could be considered one of the more powerful ones. After all, he could even beat back Xie Feili and Su Mingling.
The city rudder's front limbs slapped the ground angrily, causing the ground to tremble slightly. "You bastard, I'm going to suck you to death today. Don't even think about leaving your spiritual body behind."
Ding Meng's smile became even more eerie. "You really think that you can kill me just because you revealed your immortal aperture?
It's useless. You have no chance in front of me. "
The city leader did not waste any more words. His thick body flew forward. This time, he did not use his arm blades. Instead, he used the sucker in his mouth to stab at Ding Meng like a sharp steel pipe. The tip of the steel pipe was sharp and thin, as if he wanted to suck Ding Meng's flesh and blood into it.
Ding Meng still stood still, but this time, he did not spit out blood. Instead, he raised his right hand calmly and opened his palm.
The inhaler pierced the center of Ding Meng's palm and made a "ding" sound. From the sound, it was obvious that the inhaler had failed to pierce through. Instead, a seven-colored light suddenly appeared on Ding Meng's palm, forming a seven-colored vortex.
The city leader's expression changed. After the inhaler pierced the vortex, not only could it not pierce through, but it could not be pulled back either. In just two seconds, the seven-colored energy mixed with the K virus and the Divine Light Essence rebounded back along the inhaler. The black and thick steel pipe suddenly became colorful.
He did want to suck Ding Meng's blood, and he did. However, the blood he absorbed was not only useless to him, it was even more harmful to him.
"Tch —"
The city leader's entire body was smoking. However, this time, it was not black smoke, but white fog. It was evaporating like water vapor, and it felt like he was burnt.
After a while, the ferocious and thick wild boar turned back into a half-human, half-boar form. The city leader was lying on the ground, his entire body covered with burn marks and thick pus. The black bone armor on his body had melted. It was enough to show that the K virus had a great restraining effect on the Devouring World.
Ding Meng really defeated him effortlessly. Xian Yuan could not help but say, "It turns out that not only are you immune to the poison, but the blood in your body also has a great rebounding effect on my Devouring World."
She sounded a little relieved. Fortunately, she chose to cooperate with Ding Meng from the beginning instead of becoming his enemy. If this kid really went to the Devouring World, she would not have to worry about not being able to achieve anything.
The city leader was lying on the ground. This time, he could not even cry out. He looked at Ding Meng in horror, who was approaching him step by step. "You … you swallowed my energy?"
Ding Meng looked at him and said meaningfully: "You're wrong, I've fused with your poison source. You're no longer a sect master, but a Fierce Warrior."
The city leader's eyes suddenly revealed a look of hatred. "You … you evil guy."
Ding Meng's voice suddenly changed. It became a woman's voice. "Raise your head and take a good look at who I am."
In the city leader's vision, Ding Meng was indeed standing in the same place. However, there was another vague mirror image attached to his body. It was blue and misty, and it was full of the majesty of a superior.
The city leader's voice changed. There was an indescribable fear in it. "Sir … Sir Xian Yuan?"
This was the illusion of Xian Yuan's own remnant thoughts that she had created by infusing Ding Meng's energy. Xian Yuan said coldly, "What?
You think I'm dead, don't you? "
The city leader's expression was extremely shocked. He was even more scared than if he had seen a ghost. "I … I …"
"Kneel!" Xian Yuan shouted coldly.
The queen of the Devouring World had once been very prominent. This majesty had long taken root in the city leader's heart. He knelt in front of Ding Meng without hesitation.
Xian Yuan said hatefully, "City leader, you dog slave, how dare you come to Thousand Sails Star to look for me. Do you want to completely destroy my soul?"
The city leader was scared out of his wits. He immediately kowtowed. "Sir Xian Yuan, it's not like this. It's not like this …"
Xian Yuan said, "Alright, I'll give you a chance to explain. If you tell me the truth, I'll spare your life. If you have any other intentions, this will be your burial ground."
The city leader did not dare to raise his head. He immediately replied, "Sir, when the war ended a hundred years ago, the Specter Sect said that you were destroyed by the fleet of the Holy Grail Federation when you covered everyone's retreat."
Xian Yuan said proudly, "How could this king's body be destroyed?"
The city leader said, "The Holy Clan didn't believe it at first. However, you haven't returned for many years, and we haven't seen any trace of you."
Xian Yuan stared at him. "So you ignorant people believed it?"
The city leader hurriedly explained, "Sir, without you, the Holy Clan will soon decline."
Xian Yuan said angrily, "How will we decline?"
The city leader said, "The Holy Clan is divided into two factions. One faction supports the development of our sect, while the other faction defected to the Specter Sect, the Immortal Sect, and the Spiritual Mountain."
Xian Yuan was furious. "A bunch of traitors. How dare they betray our sect when I'm not around."
The city leader lowered his head and said, "Sir, for the past hundred years, the Holy Clan has been stagnant. Our power has been constantly weakened, our territory has been constantly compressed, and our resources have been stretched thin. Because we don't have your leadership, we can't refuse the rude requests of the other three factions."
Xian Yuan said sternly, "What about you?
Which faction do you belong to now? "
The city leader said, "I was personally raised by you 150 years ago. I don't dare to forget my roots. I've been guarding the Holy Clan."
Xian Yuan's expression softened. He said calmly, "Get up!"
The city leader stood up respectfully and stood aside like an obedient child.
Xian Yuan said again, "This Zlatu Thousand Sails Star has always been a forbidden star field between us and the Federation. I plundered the Devouring Realm and suddenly four Void Spirit Rays arrived here. What's going on?"
The city leader lowered his head and said, "Sir, the Specter Sect said that a strong enemy will soon arrive on Thousand Sails Star, so they gathered all the factions to investigate."
He answered like this because he didn't know the truth of the past. However, Xian Yuan didn't plan to tell him.
"When did the Specter Sect's words have so much weight?" Xian Yuan was a little angry. "They said there's a strong enemy. Why are you here?"
The city leader sighed. "Sir, you've been gone for a hundred years. Our Holy Clan has been in decline for a long time. I thought that if we can achieve something this time, the other sects will look at us differently. Perhaps we can change our current predicament."
Xian Yuan said, "These four Void Spirit Rays, which factions do they belong to?"
The city leader said, "Two of them belong to the Specter Family, one belongs to the Green Field Immortal Track, and the other belongs to our Holy Clan's senior Long Ye. However, he is very weak right now, but for the future of the Holy Clan, he forcefully carried us out."
Xian Yuan looked at him. "You must have spent a lot of effort to convince him with your fame."
The city leader's voice was a bit sad, "Sir, I can only say that I tried my best."
Xian Yuan sighed, "It's been hard on you."
The city leader quickly kneeled down. "But seeing sir now, this subordinate can see hope for the sect to recover."
Xian Yuan waved his hand. "Now is not the time to say this. I want to ask you, can we immediately return to the Devouring Realm?"
The city leader had a difficult expression, "This time, the Specter Family's Ju Zhang Territory's sect master gave the order. Without permission, we can't move the Void Spirit Rays."
Xian Yuan was a bit impatient, "I want to ask you, is there a problem if we send it back to senior Long Ye?
You don't need to worry about anything else. "
The city leader's eyes fell onto Ding Meng. "Sir, there's no problem if you want to go back, but this person ….."
Xian Yuan coldly cut him off, "This mister Ding Meng is this king's best friend, as well as my Holy Clan's most honored guest. Seeing him is like seeing this king, do you have any other questions?"
Ding Meng's eyes drooped. You really know how to pull strings, when did I become your best friend?
The city leader said, "Since it's like this, then please move to the transfer lake behind us."
At this time, Ding Meng and the others might have forgotten something. He had returned the city leader to its original state, so the poison barrier in the air was weakened by more than half. The patrol fleet's radar was now back to normal.
On the Golden Eagle Mothership, the screens in the command center were back to normal. The staff suddenly exclaimed, "Sir, we need you to take a look at this."
On the big screen in the middle of the room, a scene that shocked all the staff appeared. They saw a pig-headed monster walking down the hill dejectedly. Ding Meng was following behind him at a leisurely pace, as if the pig-headed monster was his pet.
This scene was simply unbelievable. Origin ability users and the monsters of the Devouring World had always been at each other's throats. How could they possibly walk together?
However, something even stranger was yet to come. After Ding Meng went down the mountain, he immediately met up with Lan Bing and the others. Seeing the pig-headed monster nodding and bowing to them, it seemed to respect them quite a bit.
"What's going on?"
Ling Xingwen was also stunned. Previously, when she had said that Ding Meng was involved with the Devouring World, she naturally knew that this was just a random excuse, but now it seemed that it was true. Unfortunately, she was right.
"Not good!"
Haodong finally noticed something. "They're not retreating to the south, but to the north, where the pollution is deep."
