57: Chapter 57 Devouring and Creation

"You ask me, who should I ask? Right now, besides waiting... it seems like there's nothing we can do." Mu Cheng was actually quite anxious here.

Forget about Seventh-order or Tier 8 Zombies, just dealing with these five Sixth-order Zombies alone is already quite troublesome.

"True, besides waiting now... we really can't do anything else."

It had to be admitted, from this point of view, it was indeed the case that the current situation called for patient and quiet waiting.

Who knows how long it had been... finally, movement was detected from Skeleton Island... accompanied by thunder, lightning, and dark, dense clouds.

A figure hovered in mid-air, precisely the Tier 8 Zombie, a rather formidable-looking burly man.

If not for his height reaching three meters and his eyes being red as if possessed, one might have mistaken him for a living human.

"This guy looks pretty ordinary, his strength might just be Tier 8." Gu Na watched, feeling somewhat unable to figure him out.

Peppa explained, "Divine artifacts can look pretty ordinary too, but don't worry, he should be the last one to make a move."

Sure enough, just as Peppa said, Sixth-order Zombies appeared... a full fifty of them, and they charged together.

"Don't panic, everyone, just leave it to this kid." Peppa was such a sly old fox.

Before Mu Cheng could react, he was pushed off the city wall by it. Fortunately, his reaction speed was fast enough, and he hastily released his Purple Cloud Wings.

Before he could even complain, Peppa had already floated up to follow and said,

"Trust your Grandpa Peppa, today I'll properly teach you how to use your own power. Dealing with mere Sixth-orders should be a piece of cake."

As someone with a Fifth-order Death Bloodline, Lu Yuxuan could already hold her own against peak-tier opponents. As for Mu Cheng's Devouring Bloodline...

Of course, it was possible too, but the problem was... he didn't know how to use the power of his bloodline!

"Damn you, why didn't you teach me when we had time earlier? Then hurry up and tell me now." Mu Cheng was extremely anxious at the moment.

That was just it, Sixth-order Zombies weren't easy to deal with. They clearly had time earlier, yet insisted on waiting until the Sixth-order Zombies arrived.

Peppa wasn't someone to be trifled with either. "Fine, Grandpa Peppa won't teach you then, handle it yourself."

Actually, there was a reason. The Devouring Bloodline and the Death Bloodline had some similarities.

One could sense danger approaching, making breakthroughs twice as effective, while the other grew stronger the more they fought in actual combat!

Naturally, teaching while learning in the midst of battle could yield twice the result with half the effort...

"Alright, stop wasting words, just teach me quickly!" Mu Cheng was, of course, very interested.

Of course, he also understood that Peppa was just joking around.

Peppa said unhurriedly, "The Devouring Bloodline can devour everything, and similarly, it can also create everything..."

Before Peppa could finish, Mu Cheng directly and straightforwardly interjected, saying,

"Wait... I get it now."

He got it just like that? Could it be a lie?

Peppa, of course, didn't believe it. "Then tell me about it..."

"Explaining it verbally probably won't work, let me show you right here!" The Transcendent Martial Arts Mu Cheng had inherited were countless in his mind...

If he really tried to explain it clearly, the zombies would have already attacked by then.

"Alright then! Grandpa Peppa just doesn't believe your head is that sharp today." Peppa also stopped wasting words.

Mu Cheng didn't hesitate. Suddenly, the Devouring Bloodline began to circulate within his body.

"Creation·Ice Sword." In an instant, an ice sword appeared in his hand, emanating a terrifying aura.

"Good grief, why is your brain so sharp today? This aura is probably at the peak of Sixth-order!" Peppa was instantly greatly surprised.

Gu Na on the other side felt the same. "Brother Cheng's strength... is clearly at the peak of Fifth-order, so why does the aura emanating from that ice sword in his hand make me tremble?"

"It seems we don't need to worry at all, we might not even need to make a move ourselves." Bai Yi initially didn't believe it either.

Looking at it now, Mu Cheng truly had the capability!

gelatinous tooth, however, was indifferent. "Not having to fight is fine too, let's just treat it as watching a show!"

Even though Mu Cheng's strength was only at the Fifth-order, this time he had clearly shocked everyone once again.

"I feel quite surprised too, but this is good. In the future, challenging opponents above my level shouldn't be a problem." Mu Cheng grew more excited as he spoke, clearly unable to wait any longer.

Peppa gave him a disdainful look and said, "Damn you, the Devouring Bloodline is much, much stronger than the Death Bloodline. She, at Fifth-order, can fight a Seventh-order... and you're this happy about surpassing just one tier?"

Holy crap? That was indeed true. Lu Yuxuan could bridge two tiers, so of course he could too.

Mu Cheng thought for a moment and said, "It seems... I still need to work hard on my physical body and comprehension of various weapons."

"It's good that you know your own shortcomings, so work hard, young man." Peppa, as always, loved to taunt.

"I won't argue with you. Next, just watch me!" Mu Cheng also couldn't be bothered to bicker with Peppa.

Dealing with the Sixth-order Zombies properly was what mattered now.

"Kid, do you know what it means to surround them and then take them out in one go?" Peppa looked at the situation with the Sixth-order Zombies and reminded him.

"I was thinking the same... By the way, with this Power of Creation of mine, can I create powerful weapons out of thin air?" Mu Cheng suddenly remembered and said.

It was indeed very strange... This world had completely changed. Planes, cannons, even firearms had all vanished without a trace.

"I know what you're thinking. You just want to create powerful firearms, right? With that idea, you can try it... see if it can be created." Peppa didn't deny it.

Nor did he explain clearly, letting Mu Cheng try, which would also make him completely give up on this idea.

"Alright, I'll try then." Mu Cheng still refused to believe it was impossible... He took out a black gold dagger and attempted to create a handgun.

It was indeed created... but in less than three seconds, the handgun turned to dust in his hand.

"This... what's going on?" Mu Cheng asked, quite puzzled.

Peppa smiled and said, "Knowing now won't do you any good... Better deal with the Sixth-order Zombies in front of you first!"

"Fine then!" Seeing that the Sixth-order Zombies had already entered the attack range, Mu Cheng stopped overthinking it.

Suddenly, he once again activated the Devouring Bloodline within his body. "Creation·Ice Wall."

In an instant, a massive ice wall appeared, about fifty meters tall, three meters thick, and an astonishing five hundred meters wide.

...and at a rapid speed, it surrounded all four sides, naturally sealing the top as well!

"Is it over just like that?" Tao Shuishui was stunned.

How long had it been... this was too strong!

Gu Na watched, also finding it incredible. "It seems... it's over, right?"

"It's not over, they're just trapped. The next step should still be that mysterious Black Vine." Bai Yi thought for a moment and said.

This wasn't hard to guess. When hadn't Mu Cheng used that Black Vine? As for the reason, no one knew.

Nor did they dare to ask too much...

Sure enough, just as Bai Yi said, Mu Cheng landed on top and immediately released the Black Vine into the enclosure.

"I'm coming in, you keep up the good work here." Peppa naturally wouldn't be polite to Mu Cheng, directly kicking a hole and entering through it.
