Pingba's eyes flashed with a hint of confusion, "Why is that?"
"Because we can flatten your Silver Moon Valley!" The Nine-headed Flame Lion let out a deafening roar, its terrifying sonic wave crushing towards the cave exit.
Wherever it passed, the humanoid异魔 (yi mo - strange demons) at the entrance let out miserable cries, their bodies disintegrating and their lives immediately lost.
"Is this the Dao?" Pingba's gaze grew a bit more solemn.
The Nine-headed Flame Lion said with arrogance, "Indeed, this is my Dao of Sound. Do you dare to question it?"
Pingba: "Although I am not human, I feel your Dao is very improper."
It paused, then coldly stated, "With just you, you are not enough to cause trouble in my Silver Moon Valley!" As its words fell, its humanoid face instantly transformed into a giant flower, with a diameter exceeding fifteen meters.
Each petal was over five meters tall and incredibly tender pink. It emitted a pink glow and a peculiar fragrance that inexplicably quickened the heart and shortened the breath.
However.
The fine teeth on the petals gave one a chilling feeling.
The moment it opened its mouth.
A terrifying devouring force enveloped Chen Nan and Tantai Shuang.
Chen Nan only felt a rather strong devouring force.
But Tantai Shuang's heart raced, feeling the divine power within her rapidly draining.
Chen Nan quickly released his divine power to cover Tantai Shuang, preventing her divine power from being devoured by Pingba.
And the moment she was enveloped by Chen Nan's divine power.
She felt an unprecedented sense of security.
It was as if even if the sky were to fall, this man would bear it for her.
"Competing in devouring?" Chen Nan said with disdain, "You're probably not up for it!"
As he spoke.
He released the Taotie from his own world.
Chen Nan: "Second brother, it's time to feast!"
"I'm almost starving to death!"
The Taotie opened its monstrous maw.
The next second.
A terrifying devouring force locked onto Pingba.
"Damn it, what the hell is this thing?" Pingba let out a piercing shriek, it hadn't expected the devouring force of this monster before it to be so terrifying.
Even it could barely withstand it.
"I am one of the Four Fiends, Taotie!" The Taotie's voice thundered, instantly swallowing Pingba, and then flew out of the cave, "Master, you should take cover first, I'm going to devour this entire mountain range!"
Chen Nan wrapped an arm around Tantai Shuang's waist, looking at Zhao Jie, whose face was ashen, "Don't worry, I will make your Donghe Tribe accompany you to your death."
Zhao Jie's eyes were bloodshot, "Chen Nan, we are both humans, can't you spare our Donghe Tribe? Do you truly intend to be so cruel and annihilate my entire clan?"
He had originally thought of capturing Chen Nan to claim merit.
But he never imagined things would turn out this way.
Regret gnawed at him!
"Every member of your Donghe Tribe is wicked. If I don't kill you, I'll be letting down the gods in the sky and my conscience!" Chen Nan said with a chilling expression, and flew away with Tantai Shuang.
The Nine-headed Flame Lion followed closely behind them, arriving outside the cave.
By this time, chaos had erupted outside the cave.
Countless 异魔 (yi mo) were like headless flies, scattering in all directions.
Firstly, they had never seen a terrifying creature like the Taotie.
Secondly.
Their leader, Yun Ying, had just died yesterday.
And today, their trusted leader Pingba had also died.
Two leaders dying in two consecutive days had shattered their morale.
"Run!"
"What kind of monster is this?"
"Quick, run, we're no match for it!"
They wanted to escape.
But the Taotie flew to a height of ten thousand meters and unleashed its innate divine ability, the Great Devouring Technique.
Countless 异魔 (yi mo) were uncontrollably pulled into the air.
Not just them.
Even the grass and trees on the ground, giant rocks, and even the earth itself flew into the air, disappearing into the Taotie's maw.
"Boss, I have to say, this Taotie's ability is truly terrifying." The Nine-headed Flame Lion said with lingering fear. Although it could unleash its Dao of Sound, it was powerless against the Taotie.
Chen Nan also said, "Since the desolate, ancient, and archaic eras, the Taotie has appeared more than once. Yet no one has ever been able to truly kill it, which shows how astonishing its strength is."
Tantai Shuang gasped, "Is this the legendary Great Fiend?"
She had already felt that this monstrous beast's innate divine ability was too terrifying before.
But she hadn't dared to associate it with the Taotie.
After all.
Whenever the Taotie appeared, chaos would engulf the world.
This was definitely a terrifying disaster, a catastrophic disaster.
The Nine-headed Flame Lion looked at her with a smile, "Indeed, it's a bit bigger than you."
Tantai Shuang's face showed disbelief.
She seemed to not understand what he meant.
Then, she suddenly shivered, looked down at her flat chest, and with a blush, angrily said, "You... you are shameless..."
The Nine-headed Flame Lion chuckled without a word.
Tantai Shuang ignored the Nine-headed Flame Lion and looked at Chen Nan curiously, "Brother Chen, you said before that the Taotie appeared in the desolate, ancient, and archaic eras, but why could no one kill them, and yet they became extinct?"
Chen Nan said, "The Taotie is born from the greed in the hearts of living beings. Their greatest talent is to devour everything, but this is also their greatest weakness."
"Because once they start to devour, it will never stop."
"Until they gorge themselves to death."
The Nine-headed Flame Lion: "There is indeed such a saying, the Taotie cannot be killed, but they can be stuffed to death."
As they spoke.
The mountain range below, and the 异魔 (yi mo) of Silver Moon Valley, all entered the Taotie's mouth.
The once majestic mountain range seemed to have been shaved off.
Not only that.
A huge sinkhole, about ten thousand feet deep, even appeared on the ground.
And after devouring a mountain range, the Taotie's belly showed no sign of bulging. Instead, it looked at Chen Nan with a hint of melancholy, "Master, can't you take me to eat something good?"
Chen Nan smiled and asked, "Humans?"
The Taotie's eyes lit up. Humans were definitely the most delicious beings in the Three Realms, but it did not lose its reason, and said with a hint of melancholy, "You're joking. You are human, how could you let me eat humans?"
"This joke isn't funny at all!"
"Why don't you take me back into the world you created? I'll cultivate there!" It missed the primordial energy.
"I am not joking. Three thousand li to the north of here, there is a tribe with over a thousand humans. Go and eat them directly!" Chen Nan said expressionlessly.
The people of the Donghe Tribe were all wicked, but Chen Nan couldn't be bothered to deal with them himself. Of course, this didn't mean they could live.
It was just that Chen Nan didn't want to dirty his hands.
It was the perfect opportunity to send the Taotie to devour them.
"Thank you, Master. I guarantee to complete the mission perfectly!" The Taotie turned into an afterimage and disappeared into the sky.
Chen Nan looked at Tantai Shuang, "Miss Tantai, where is your Black Mountain Tribe? I'll take you home first!"
Upon hearing this.
Tantai Shuang immediately panicked, her eyes full of pleading, and she tightly gripped Chen Nan's arm, "Brother Chen, please don't send me back, okay?"
