Chapter 108: Swallow God first and swallow yourself first

Outside the Taoist temple

Suddenly, several scarlet streaks appeared.
Five blood-red magic swords shot out from the void, carrying a chilling killing intent, and rushed straight towards the Martial God.

The war priest had bloodshot eyes, exhaled yin energy, and his chest heaved violently, looking as if he was about to lose control.

As the crimson magic sword hurtled toward him, the Martial God's pupils contracted slightly. With a thought, the Devouring Heaven Ghost and the Devouring Earth Ghost suddenly appeared in front of him.

The tentacles of the Devouring Demon stretched directly into the void, trembling continuously. The speed of the approaching magic sword suddenly decreased, as if something was pulling the magic sword.

The Earth-Swallowing Demon reversed its limbs, its large mouth under its belly facing the sky, and suddenly spat out the earth vein energy that had just been swallowed. This energy quickly formed a pale yellow canopy around the Martial God, resembling a shield!

As for that God-devouring demon?
The other party also appeared behind the Martial God at some unknown time, but their state seemed a bit off!
Li Wushou observed intently. The way the other party stared at the Martial God Official seemed to want to swallow him whole as well.
But the Martial Priest ignored it, reaching into the abdomen that had been ripped open by the Demon-Slaying Blade, tearing off a piece of the soul's internal organs, and throwing it behind him.

The Devouring Demon, its mouth drooling, leaped up and swallowed it whole.

"Go! Swallow her!"

The Martial God urged, and after the Devouring Demon swallowed the soul and internal organs, it rolled around happily and then disappeared from the spot.

Li Wushou's heart trembled. Should he swallow his own body first?
The Paper Goddess felt a chill in her heart, because she felt that the long paper she threw out had lost its effect. It seemed that the other party could ignore the folding of space, follow her aura, and appear directly next to her.

Ripples spread through the void behind her, and the Paper Goddess knew that the God-Devouring Demon had arrived!

With six arms raised high, it's time to perform the hand seal!

Suddenly, a heart-shaking shriek reached his ears, and the black shadow covering Li Wushou's body rippled slightly. This shriek seemed to have the power to suppress the soul.

The Paper Goddess stood frozen in place, her spirit extinguished. The Devouring God's nose twitched up in delight.

With its mouth opening and closing vertically, it bit the paper goddess in two, then swallowed it whole.

The Martial God felt the joy of the Devouring God, the pleasure of consuming divine souls was particularly intense, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This Paper Goddess created a "Forest of Ten Thousand Evils" on Guanyin Mountain.

Normally, let alone launching an attack, the enemy would be extremely wary even if they just stepped into the forest.

The City God launched several attacks, but the enemy, realizing the situation was unfavorable, simply fled far away. The City God Temple was powerless against them.

But today I've actually come directly into this White Paper Temple?
The Martial God was somewhat dazed. He only remembered that today, the High Priest Li Wushou had shown the City God's magic sword and summoned his Dharma body to accompany him in the campaign against the Tree Goddess.

How did he end up at the White Paper Taoist Temple? And what did he just hear? The Civil Official is trapped here? Which expert came to his aid?
The Martial God calmed himself and prepared to recall the Devouring God to investigate the whereabouts of the Civil God.

Suddenly, the Martial God's expression changed, and he looked up sharply at the blood-red magic sword being pulled in mid-air by the Devouring God. If the Paper Goddess had really been eaten by the Devouring God, then why was this magic sword still exerting force?
But the way the Devouring Demon consumes the soul cannot be faked, so is it a paper clone?

not good!

The Martial God turned abruptly, looked towards the main hall of the Taoist temple, and shouted to the Devouring God, who was still chewing on the Paper Goddess, "Come back!"

"return?"

A murmur echoed in the main hall, and another paper goddess slowly emerged from the void. She raised her six arms high, and on one of her arms she held a red magic sword, which she thrust down at the still stunned Devouring God Ghost!
This enraged sword strike pierced right through the Devouring God. The Paper Goddess was filled with resentment; she had refined that paper form for many years, even attaching a wisp of her divine soul to it.

Over the years, she has devoured countless vengeful spirits to raise them to their current state of complete control, almost like an extension of her own body. Now, however, this beast has ruined them. How could she not hate it?
It was thanks to her vigilance that she was able to prevent the civil official from escaping the Yin-Yang Diagram, while the martial official's Hundred Ghosts Domain truly made her wary.

Especially after seeing the Martial God create the third ghost, the Paper Goddess became even more vigilant.

This time, she used this paper clone, but she didn't expect that the Devouring God Ghost was indeed strange, actually having the ability to suppress souls and seize spirits. Before she knew it, she had suffered a great setback.

Enraged, the Paper Goddess shattered the magic sword in her hand, instantly reducing the Devouring God to fragments.

The Martial God's brow trembled violently. He tried his best to save the body and managed to retrieve some remains. However, the Devouring God Demon was originally formed from these remains. With a tremor of his Demon-Slaying Blade, he retrieved these remains into the blade.

Just as the Martial God was about to control the Devouring Heaven and Devouring Earth demons to fight off the enemy, his expression suddenly changed drastically; he was about to lose control.

With his mind in disarray, the vast river of Yin energy surged forth, rushing wildly through the Taoist temple. The Martial God had lost control of his power. The Devouring Heaven and Devouring Earth demons also vanished from his side in a blur.

Five blood-red magic swords shot straight down!

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

The energy directly penetrated the Martial God's soul and body, shattering the shield formed by the earth's vein energy. Even the protective armor formed by the tentacles was also scattered and returned to the shape of tentacles, drooping helplessly in the void.

Fortunately, thanks to these two protective barriers, the Martial God was not killed on the spot.

Nevertheless, the Martial God had lost his fighting ability. After the five blood-red magic swords pierced into the Martial God's body, they transformed into red threads that seeped directly into the Martial God's soul, binding him.

Even the Martial Priest's demon-slaying sword lost its blade shape, transforming back into a pile of evil spirit corpses, clinging to the Martial Priest's feet.

The divine light in his eyes faded, and the Martial Priest reverted to his "brainless" appearance!

With hatred in her eyes, the Paper Goddess stepped out of the main hall and stood in front of the Martial God's dazed soul. Looking at his bound figure, she was still not satisfied and jumped up, kicking the Martial God.

The Martial God fell to the ground with a thud, his divine soul and physical body humming as they slowly retreated back into the clay sculpture.

The Paper Goddess glanced at the Taoist temple, which was in ruins due to the rampant Yin energy, and her anger was even more intense.

With a soft hum, her six arms continuously formed hand seals, beginning to fold the white paper Taoist temples one by one. She wanted to restore the Taoist temples to their original state first.

If it weren't for the fact that she had spent years building a blank Taoist temple, allowing the Martial God to sneak in so silently, she would have been badly injured, if not killed. Even so, today was extremely dangerous.

Staring intently at the clay sculpture in which the spirit of the Martial God resided, the Paper Goddess's thoughts became fervent.

That Devouring God Demon is so mysterious; if I can control it, which of the surrounding evil spirits would dare disobey my orders? At that time, who cares who becomes the City God of the Five Directions City!
Thinking this way, the Paper Goddess planned to secretly detain the Martial God in the Taoist temple, and then eat him after forcing him to reveal the method of refining the Devouring God Ghost!
The Paper Goddess snorted inwardly, pondering how to manipulate the Martial God, while merging the folded white paper Taoist temple into the void.

Suddenly, her expression changed, and she abruptly turned around, shouting a question into the hall:
"Who?!"
