Tie Gang rushed into his opponent, releasing a barrage of attacks. With each fist, he released a tremendous vibration capable of destroying countless galaxies.
At first, Gluttony could block some of these attacks with his enhanced physical body. However, the devil began to suffer when Tie Gang started taking advantage of the potent fleshly body of the zombie.
Tie Gang used Wang Wei's techniques he used in his early years. He released vibration from every cell, molecule, muscle fiber, tendon, bone, and even every inch of skin, before redirecting them toward his enemy.
Boom!
The space twisted with the surrounding space-time as Tie Gang's fist headed directly for Gluttony's head. And in one fell swoop, the devil's upper body exploded like a balloon overfilled with oxygen.
Swish!
Gluttony's upper body regrows itself without any problem. The problem looked horrifying; it was like countless worms fused to form a humanoid shape that resembled Gluttony.
Bang!
Tie Gang went on the offensive and continued his tactic of relentless attack. His fist contained the same strength as before. However, his effort failed this time around.
And this time around, Gluttony was not even pushed backward.
Bang! Bang!
Tie Gang continued two more attacks, even knowing it would be useless. He wanted to take this opportunity to analyze the opponent's technique.
He realized the devil used another space as a medium to transfer the force and vibration from the attacks.
'Did he transfer the attacks into his [stomach] but did not absorb them? Instead, he redirected the attacks somewhere else to prevent any problems?'
Tie Gang was trained in situational awareness and analysis like any Heaven Chosen. Ordinary people cannot easily acquire such education. If not for his status in the sect, he would need to risk his life in countless battles to gain such an ability, and it would not be compared to these genius' systematic training.
However, geniuses from Emperor Lineage will be taught countless knowledge and experience that allowed them to discover what kind of Dao their opponent was using or its application.
Crunch!
While analyzing his opponent, Tie Gang watched with surprise, and a little bit of horror, as his right arm suddenly disappeared, followed by a crunching sound.
'What just happened?' he wondered, fear almost overwhelmed his mind due to the unknown. Luckily, his mind was not that weak, so he swiftly controlled himself. Additionally, Yan Liling's pill was still in effect and kept his mind calm and soothing.
Cai Song ensured to keep the biological characteristics of the zombie as she turned it into puppet armor. So, after the arm went missing, it regrew itself, along with Tie Gang, who was bonded with it.
[Yin Qi Flame]
The zombie swiftly opened its mouth and spewed an eerie dark green flame with the power to burn the soul. However, it mysteriously disappeared like Tie Gang's arm before reaching Gluttony. The only difference was the crunching sound was replaced by subtle sounds that seemed like chewing and swallowing.
'Did he eat my attacks?' thought Tie Gang. 'Yes, he should be treating my attacks like food and eating them.'
He tested his theory by elevating his senses. And Tie Gang finally saw it. There were multiple invisible mouths surrounding Gluttony. Tie Gang tested them by sending a Yin Claw Attack; as expected, they ate, chewed, and swallowed it.
Tie Gang became more serious.
'Through the process of chewing, Gluttony can remove the influence of my technique, allowing him to swallow my attacks after a process of refining; he removed the parts that made them unswallowable and kept the part he can absorb.
'Although it will reduce the energy quantity of the attacks, it is still better than nothing.'
Tie Gang began to think of countermeasures. The fastest way to deal with Gluttony would be to use the Order Talisman he has in his space ring and establish the order on this battlefield so that no one can swallow each other's technique. Or, he could limit the number of things that can be consumed.
However, the team previously warned against creating Scenario S. So, if he took out the talisman, he could not predict what Gluttony would take from his space ring.
'I need to hurry since I won't last long,' thought Tie Gang. His body and strength were naturally weak, so it was difficult for him to bear using this Immortal Tier Zombie Puppet Armor.
He was only holding because of Yan Liling's pills and sharing his vitality with his Undead Legion.
[Heaven and Earth Vibration Domain]
Tie Gang did not hesitate to use one of his most powerful techniques. His body began to release immense vibrations, followed by all the laws between Heaven and Earth.
Through Law Resonance, he can control these laws and, in turn, the vibration they created. Then, he focused everything on his opponent.
Tie Gang encased Gluttony in this world of vibration. As such, the devil was surrounded by terrifying vibrational powers from all sides. Gluttony did accept his fate and fought against this wave of attacks.
He defended himself as his invisible mouths went on overdrive, trying to eat anything that came toward him. However, there were too many coming everywhere.
Over the years, he had expanded the ability of his [stomach] to swallow things. Although it was not infinite like the Heaven-Devouring Emperor, his ability increased hundred times since the Cleanup.
Unfortunately, Tie Gang's attack still overwhelmed him–especially since most of these "foods" were unpalatable or indigestible.
Soon, Gluttony found himself with countless injuries, forcing him to use a defensive art.
[Stomach Manifestation]
Gluttony's stomach is a large dimension where all the power and energy he absorbed goes; the stomach is both real and unreal, existing on a plane of existence accessible only to Gluttony–at least, it should be.
And in this dangerous situation, he manifested his stomach into the physical world to protect himself.
Tie Gang's infinite Dao Vibrations became ineffective. As they reached Gluttony and touched the stomach, they only created spatial and temporal fluctuations with no effect.
However, Tie Gang did not stop and was stubbornly persistent. He knew this stomach was the source of Gluttony's primary techniques or Dao. So, as long as he can damage it in any way possible, it will be to his advantage.
Bang!
Heaven and Earth shook.
"Damn it," cursed Tie Gang as the laws of Heaven and Earth were annihilated by a potent strike. After a brief observation, he knew the culprit and cursed out loud for being victim to his ally's technique.
Without these laws, he cannot use Law Resonance to generate vibration from Heaven and Earth.
And as he expected, Gluttony quickly dealt with his weakened technique and went on the offensive.
[Vomiting Chaos]
A colossal mouth emanated behind Gluttony's back and opened, showing its razor-sharp fangs. However, the terrifying part about this thing was not the fact it was only a mouth or the creepy teeth, but what came out of it:
A dark purple beam.
'The power of Greater Chaos?' thought Tie Gang, his teeth clenched as he focused intently. According to the team's analysis, this outcome was likely if Gluttony could successfully mix all the different powers inside his stomach.
However, the team concluded that Gluttony's talent was unlikely to achieve such a feat. However, they did not rule out this possibility due to Di Tian's unpredictable or unknown factor.
Although the latter displayed no knowledge of Chaos Dao, who knows what he experienced or learned during his long life?
'This is not the time to be distracted,' thought Tie Gang, knowing he was in a difficult situation.
As he watched this beam containing the strength to annihilate him instantly, Tie Gang realized he might be too late to come up with the appropriate measure.
So, he allowed the instinct of the zombie to take control; as a living creature, it should have the natural instinct to survive. So, Tie Gang only allowed these instincts to activate and function by themselves.
Boom!
Sounds cannot travel in a vacuum. However, due to the intensity of the energy involved in this attack, followed by the destruction of the laws of Heaven and Earth, such common sense was thrown out of the window.
The intensity of the explosion was enough to devastate millions of galaxies if anything else remained in this grand cosmos. So, the floating debris became the victims.
After everything settled, only one thing remained at the center of the blast–an old and decrepit black coffin.
Tie Gang walked out of the coffin, and the zombie puppet was in terrible shape; it could be described as almost falling apart. And even he, who was protected inside, was not in the best condition.
Luckily for him, Yan Liling's pills remained in his body to heal his injuries. Sadly, the same could not be said for the zombie.
After surviving the initial contact with the blast using the Coffin Defense Art from the zombie, Tie Gang summoned an Energy Pill to help the puppet's regeneration.
And that's how it did not entirely fall apart.
'Gluttony's Duyi Realm is weak but still working,' thought Tie Gang as he felt the state of the zombie. 'However, it's better than me without it entirely.'
His mind worked on overdrive as he calculated how best to use the last value of the puppet.
