Chapter 42: Swallowing Treasure

  The earth, water, fire and wind are raging, yin and yang are cut off, countless voids like bubbles collide, devour, and burst out dazzling light that makes one's heart palpitate, devouring this piece of pure land that is only about ten square feet.

  A nine-chi-nine-joint-nine-leaf small tree, with golden light shining brightly, swaying nine-colored divine light, splashing boundless, suppressing the earth, water, fire, wind, yin and yang, firmly guarding the surrounding ten-zhang-square pure land.

  This is the legendary Meteorite Battlefield.

  Lin Hu's footsteps stepped out, and what appeared before his eyes was just such a scene.

  Lin's eyebrows furrowed, as if deep in thought. His body moved involuntarily towards the battlefield of the fallen gods. The closer he got, the more majestic and towering the small tree with nine feet, nine sections, and nine leaves appeared. Gradually, his vision was filled with just one leaf, which blocked his view.

  Under Lin Huang's astonished gaze, this expanse of leaves stretched out for countless miles, seemingly real, and he himself was just a tiny black dot on this leaf that wasn't even as big as an ant.

  "Mustard seed, or one leaf one world."

  Lin Huang only then realized the wonder of the Fallen God Battlefield. With his feet firmly on the ground, he felt no abnormalities in his body and carefully looked around him.

  The azure sky is beyond reach, and the nine leaves have become the Nine Heavens. The divine light spills down, just like a celestial curtain, enveloping the entire battlefield of the fallen gods. This is a world without sun or moon; the changes in the sky's color are all distinguished by the different glows spilled from the nine leaves.

  "It makes sense." Lin Huang nodded and was about to take a step forward when a voice suddenly echoed in his mind, explaining the rules of the Fallen God's battlefield.

  There are nine leaves, and there are nine heavens. Every time you ascend to a higher heaven, you will have one more chance at transformation. To gain this transformation, you must first offer sacrifices. These sacrifices can be as simple as a blade of grass, a tree, a mountain, or water, but they can also be flesh and blood, or even your soul. If you make 100,000 such offerings, you will have one chance to gain transformation.

  Upon hearing this, Lin Huang furrowed his brow, feeling that there was something fishy about it. He took a deep look at the Nine-Heavenly Layers, and with one stride, he stepped forward, no longer paying attention to it.

  He took two steps forward, Lin Huang stopped in his tracks, his eyes moved, and he reached out to grab something from under his feet. It was a strange stone with blood-colored veins wrapped around its surface, nine orifices that seemed to be alive, breathing in and out, with air flowing in and out. This was actually a Nine-Orifice Divine Stone, which could give birth to terrifying creatures if the opportunity arose, defying the heavens and rising to power.

  "What a coincidence?" Lin Huang's expression was calm, but his heart was racing. This ancient battlefield was too unusual. If this were in the outside world, even saints would fight for it. The nine-orifice divine stone that could condense into a powerful clone was actually buried underground so casually, it was simply unbelievable.

  "It's true. The legendary Nine Apertures Divine Stone is nothing more than being stained with the divine spirit's true blood, born from the creation of heaven and earth. Since this is a fallen god's land, naturally there are many things that have been stained with the divine spirit's true blood."

  He easily obtained the rare Nine Apertures Divine Stone from outside, Lin Huang hesitated for a moment, snapped his fingers, and according to the rules, he offered this piece of Nine Apertures Divine Stone as a sacrifice.

  In an instant, the Nine Apertures Divine Stone in Lin Huang's hand transformed into a stream of light and disappeared, leaving behind a number branded on the back of his hand.

  "It's just one thousand. Doesn't seem too difficult either."

  Lin Huang muttered to himself and continued forward.

  The encounter in the battlefield of fallen gods makes every genius who enters feel shocked and greedy at heart.

  "Divine Blood Fruit!"

  "Divine Spirit, Point the Bone!"

  "Fireworks!"

  "Haha. So many treasures of heaven and earth. This is fate, a great fate."

  Someone stumbled upon a treasure land, countless treasures, strange lights and colors, dazzling both eyes.

  "Scram! These are all mine!" A roar, in the midst of that person's shocked gaze, a gigantic skull appeared in mid-air, opened its mouth and swallowed everything, including the person and treasure, into its belly. After a satisfied belch, it glared menacingly at the surrounding people.

  "He is the strongest genius of the Gluttony Tribe."

  "Run, run away immediately."

  "Want to escape? Come into my belly!"

  Tunbao burst out laughing, opened his big mouth and sucked in fiercely, swallowing the sky and earth. In one gulp, he could swallow the sun and moon. More than a dozen geniuses from various tribes let out a miserable cry before being swallowed up by him.

  Moved his mouth, swallowed a treasure and picked his teeth, patted his belly, and shone with both eyes.

  "The battlefield of fallen gods is indeed a great place, this time I can eat my fill."

  Tun Bao didn't know what others thought, but for him, this was a treasure land. The Gluttony Clan, swallowing the sky and devouring the earth, nothing could escape being swallowed. This fallen god battlefield, countless geniuses, countless rare treasures, it was simply a paradise of great joy for him, he was so happy that his eyes narrowed with delight.

  In one breath, he swallowed a dozen or so geniuses, and then swallowed all the treasures in front of him into his belly. Swallowing Treasure felt even hungrier, his eyes shining brightly as he scanned around, quickly finding another group of geniuses. With a tap of his foot, he jumped over to them.

  With a big mouth open, it can swallow the sun and moon, covering the sky and blocking the day, not giving this group of geniuses any chance to react, swallowing them into its belly in one gulp.

  "Ah. Swallow Treasure, I am also a member of the demon tribe. Don't eat me, I'm willing to be your servant."

  Someone saw Tunbao and knew his notorious name, immediately shouting loudly.

  Swallowing without chewing, his mouth open wide, he swallowed in one gulp. His eyes gleamed with ferocity, "A three-legged thing, I've never even eaten before. Take you as a servant? I, Swallowing Treasure, can't even eat my fill myself, what's the point of taking on some servants?"

  Swallowing mountains and rivers, swallowing treasures all the way, all the way swallowing, cruel to the extreme.

  "Hmm, human, so scrawny. Whatever, swallow first and talk later."

  Swallowing treasures without any scruples, walking all the way, not leaving a single blade of grass behind. Seeing Lin Huang, no need for words, opening mouth to swallow him in one gulp.

  "Gluttony?" Lin Huang muttered to himself, nodding his head, "It's said that one mouthful can swallow the sun, moon, heaven and earth. I don't know if it's true or not."

  As he spoke, Lin Huang threw out a punch, this punch was a ground punch that landed heavily.

  Tian Bao's pupils contracted, his mouth opened even wider, almost occupying nine-tenths of his entire skull. Fierce and menacing, he growled, "I'll devour!"

  One mouth swallowed Lin Huang's fist, biting hard, and with a crunching sound, Bao let out a mournful howl, hastily spitting out Lin Huang's fist. Upon closer inspection, he found that two of his large teeth had shattered.

  "Damn it." Tong Bao's eyes were fierce and menacing as he stared at Lin Huang, "Human. You're somewhat capable. But you still have to die!"

  As soon as the sound fell, Tunbao thoroughly displayed his magical powers, and the tribe's ability to devour heaven and earth was brought to an extreme, transforming into a black hole that devoured all things.

  "Haha! Come on! Come on! Quickly come into my mouth! The Devouring Heaven and Earth Technique can swallow the sun, moon, heaven, and earth, let alone a mere human tribe."

  Lin Huang shook his head, "You can swallow the sun, moon, heaven and earth, but you can't swallow my fist."

  A faint sentence, Lin Huang stomped his foot, swung his fist, and the Six Paths Divine Fist surged forward, stirring up water, fire, wind, yin, and yang. Fierce and violent, it charged into the mouth of the devouring sun.

  Under one punch, Tong Bao let out a miserable cry, "How can you be so strong?"

  Lin Huang was speechless, and another punch came. The Devouring Heaven and Earth Great Method that had swallowed the treasure was directly blasted, falling to the ground, transforming back into its original form. However, it turned out to be a delicate and beautiful young girl, covering her mouth, tears streaming down her face, blood dripping, looking pitiful.

  "It's interesting." Lin Huang nodded, reached out and grabbed, Tian Bao's face changed, his body surged, escaped into the void, transformed countless times, but to no avail, still being caught by Lin Huang with one grab, one lift, and pinched on the neck.

  Lin Huang exerted his strength and shook it, saying: "Still not showing its true form."

  A loud shout, the treasure was extremely suppressed, the light flashed, revealing its true form, but it was only a small cat the size of a palm, cute and endearing, with strange patterns on its fur, as if it could devour souls.

  "You're a dead man. You're really done for. I won't let you off, I'll definitely gobble you up." The transformed cat-like Treasure was baring its teeth and claws at Lin Ao, but unfortunately it reverted to its original form, and the vicious words only made it look even more adorable and cute.

  "Shut up!" Lin Huang snapped his fingers, silencing Swallowing Treasure as he focused intently on the totemic patterns on the latter's body.

  After a while, Lin Huang nodded and had some understanding of the devouring divine ability of the Pao family. He looked at Tun Bao who was crying out in disorder and snapped his fingers, "Treat you as a sacrifice, don't know if it can bring good fortune."

  Tunbao was suddenly terrified and burst through the forest's seal with all his might, shouting: "No! I don't want to be a sacrifice. Waaah, I don't want to play anymore. I want to go find Grandpa."

  "Don't make me a sacrifice. I was wrong. Spare me."

  Being able to yield and stretch is what makes a person outstanding, so swallowing the treasure and humming gets even more intense, pitifully, with eyes rolling around, feeling somewhat nervous.

  Lin Huang's eyes remained calm and unmoving, "If you don't become a sacrifice, who will?"

  "Hurry up and give him an offering, give him an offering!"

  As she spoke, Chuan Bao exerted herself and spat out all the divine materials and treasures that she had swallowed into her belly, which fell in front of Lin Huang, emitting a brilliant light and forming a small mountain.

  Lin Ao stared at Tong Bao's belly in astonishment.

  "Damn it! You can't look over there!" Tong Bao shouted in a fit of rage.

  Lin Huang withdrew his gaze, "Gone?"

  "It's gone." Tianbao replied immediately, his eyes darting around, somewhat guilty.

  Lin Huang nodded, "Then use you as a sacrifice instead."

  "No!" Bao cried out in a loud voice, "Bad people, very bad people."

  On one side, Da Jiao shouted loudly, and Huan Bao hurriedly spat out another pile of treasures, with blood dripping from his heart.

  "What about those geniuses you swallowed?" Lin Huang lifted up Tong Bao's foot and shook it vigorously.

  Tunbao's heart was about to break, and he wailed loudly, "It's all gone. It really is all gone. The flesh and blood were directly digested."

  Lin Huang nodded and waved his hand, offering all the treasures that had been spat out by the Treasure Swallowing Beast as sacrifices. "Only three thousand. It seems this luck is not easy to grasp."

  Lin Huang looked up at the sky, only to realize that he had miscalculated. Like most divine materials and treasures, even if they were offered as sacrifices, they wouldn't increase the sacrificial power by much. Only treasures like the Nine Orifices Divine Stone could greatly enhance the sacrificial power.

  "Unaware of flesh and blood souls, how much more can be obtained from sacrifices."

  Lin Huang's eyes flickered as he looked at Tun Bao.

  With a loud wail, she burst into tears, her short arms and legs wrapped tightly around Lin Huang's arm, and several more treasures spat out of her mouth. "Don't use me as a sacrifice! This time I really don't have any left, I swear."

  "I want the Devouring Heaven and Earth Great Technique. When will you write it for me, when will you let me go? Otherwise, I'll use you as a sacrifice." Lin Huang said calmly, the Devouring Heaven and Earth Great Technique had moved him, he wanted it.

  Tunbao's expression changed, and she hesitated. Lin Huang ignored her, taking out a seven-colored golden lock chain from the Xumi ring and putting it around Tunbao's neck, holding onto it as he continued forward.

  "Bastard." Tong Bao was humiliated to the extreme, never thinking that one day he would be treated like a pet and led around by someone. He gritted his teeth in hatred, muttering to himself, "Just wait. I'll pretend to obey for now, but once I find an opportunity, I'll swallow you whole."

  With a low murmur, Duobao quietly followed behind Lin Huang like a pet.
