A World Worth Protecting

n.
Before Wang Baole, there was no chance for him to reveal any of his fighting prowess!

Wang Baole’s incredible fighting abilities were part of the reason for the elderly cultivator’s quick death.
But the fact that he had underestimated Wang Baole, and the fact that Wang Baole had made use of the Dark Fire’s sudden explosion to execute an ambush, also contributed to his unexpected and abrupt elimination.

Blood splattered everywhere, and a rush of vitality escaped from the elderly cultivator’s corpse and was sucked into Wang Baole’s Thearch Armor.
The headless corpse shriveled up within seconds and was left adrift in space when Wang Baole released his hold on it.

A sudden deathly silence descended upon everyone.
The remaining seven Soul Conduit realm cultivators, as well as the hordes of cultivators aboard the Ink Dragon Legion fleet, all stared at the scene, their eyes wide with incredulity.
Everything had happened too quickly.
These might have been battle-hardened warriors, but even they couldn’t accept what had just happened so readily.
This wasn’t the same as the heightened state of vigilance they instinctively went into during expeditions.
After all, they were in their home territory and facing off against an insignificant minor sect.
The losses they had suffered in their most recent expedition had soured their moods as well, so naturally, they hadn’t been in the right state of mind.

But this was the seventh most powerful fleet under the Violet Gold New Dao Sect.
The Ink Dragon Legion naturally had strengths that others couldn’t compare with.
The unexpected outcome of the engagement immediately sent the battleships into action.
Without orders from any Soul Conduit realm cultivators, the battleships had activated their offensive capabilities and locked down Wang Baole as their target.
They unleashed their incredible offensive capabilities and retaliated instantly.

The surviving seven Soul Conduit realm cultivators immediately coordinated their attacks.
Four charged Wang Baole while three retreated in an attempt to establish contact with the outside world.
When they failed to establish contact, they realized the key to their freedom was Wang Baole.
They roared and unleashed their full cultivation, intent on blasting clear the black flames that were trapping them in place so that they could signal that they were under attack.

Everything happened swiftly, within moments, from Wang Baole’s initial attack to the Ink Dragon Legion’s retaliation.
Wang Baole narrowed his eyes when he witnessed the Ink Dragon Legion’s swift response to his attack.
As beams of light erupted from the enemy battleships, he said coldly, “I had no intention of showing my hand here… but it seems I have no choice… so be it.
I’ll just have to kill every single one of you.”

The bespelled beams of light pierced through Wang Baole’s body as soon as he said that, and the four approaching Soul Conduit realm cultivators had reached him then as well.
The thunderous sounds of battle rumbled in the cosmos.
It didn’t matter if it were spells released by the enemy battleships or divine powers unleashed by the Soul Conduit realm cultivators, they all went right through Wang Baole’s body when they landed on him.

Wang Baole’s form blurred in that instant, transforming into a semi-transparent state.
It spread out like mist, passing through everything ahead of him and racing straight for the three Soul Conduit realm cultivators who were currently trying to blast open the black flames sealing them in this space!

The suddenness and speed of the attack sent the Ink Dragon Legion into another bout of shock.
The three Soul Conduit realm cultivators who had been busy trying to blast open the seal formed from Dark Fire were stunned as well, and alarm flashed across their faces as they scattered hastily.
They had intended to continue attacking the seal while Wang Baole was distracted by the others.
While this tactic might have worked on someone else, it was useless against Wang Baole!

His body had transformed into mist, and within the mist, hidden from the eyes of his enemies, was the Dark Demonic Eye.
His form shadowed everything in the sealed space.
It didn’t matter how many avatars the three Soul Conduit realm cultivators summoned, they were all within his reach.
It took mere moments for Wang Baole to encase them in his mist-like form.

Screams of pain and terror pierced the cosmos.
When the mist rolled back and shrunk to reveal Wang Baole again, one could see three corpses floating around him, each one shriveled and bereft of all life and vitality!

Wang Baole knew that time wasn’t on his side.
The sooner he ended this battle, the better it would be for him.
He didn’t hesitate as he transformed into mist again and headed straight for the remaining four Soul Conduit realm cultivators in the center of the sealed space.

Of the four Soul Conduit realm cultivators, two were old, one was middle-aged, and the last was a young man.
They were all filled with shock and fear at the moment, having just watched as their fellow cultivators got butchered like chickens in a slaughterhouse.
They were even beginning to doubt the abilities of their fellow Soul Conduit realm cultivators.
As danger marched steadily towards them and the threat of death loomed over them, they howled and began to retreat, unleashing their most powerful techniques.

These techniques were useless as long as Wang Baole remained in his mist-like state, so the cultivators were surrounded by Wang Baole in an instant.
The two elderly cultivators were the first to scream out in pain as their bodies shriveled up.
Next was the middle-aged cultivator, who managed to survive for an extra three counts before also quivering and shriveling up.
The last was the youth… As Wang Baole approached him, the youth howled in despair and smashed his palm into his forehead.
It was then…

A surge of spirit energy that alarmed Wang Baole erupted from the young man’s body as red mist poured out from the young man’s orifices and materialized into a red palm before him.
Immediately after, an overwhelming power that shook the heavens and earth and appeared capable of overpowering everything in sight rushed at Wang Baole.

He’s under the protection of a Spirit Immortal realm cultivator? Wang Baole’s eyes narrowed!
