Freedom represented the body.
Freedom represented the spirit.
Wang Baole felt that his current state hadn't reached the Dao that he had comprehended, but he was very close. He felt that the smile on his face was very good, and he liked it very much.
Therefore, with that smile on his face, he walked past the ruins buried in the Underworld River. The style of these ruins was different, and they came from the different earthly worlds that Wang Baole had experienced in his previous life.
Most of them contained ferocious spirits. These spirits were different from the souls floating on the surface of the Underworld River. Although they were ferocious, they also had a very simple consciousness.
In fact, they would even devour other souls as nutrients and food to maintain their state of existence. Furthermore … under normal circumstances, unless they were looking for food, they wouldn't leave the ruins they were in. However, they were very aggressive toward any spirits that came to them.
That was especially true of Wang Baole's aura, which seemed to be very attractive to these ferocious spirits. Even if he was just passing by, the ferocious spirits would become greedy. Their simple consciousness couldn't become their reason. Therefore … one slaughter after another occurred at the bottom of the Underworld River as Wang Baole walked deeper and deeper with a smile on his face.
First of all, this area of the Underworld River wasn't the true bottom. It was only close to the bottom. The ruins that appeared on this level were all floating in this area, and their style was that of the era of the God Clan.
He could see the remains of countless statues, as well as enormous, dilapidated palaces. Most of the ferocious spirits here also had the characteristics of the God Clan.
Even as Wang Baole recalled the past, he didn't stop walking. The more he killed, the more genuine his smile became. Every time a ferocious spirit died, Wang Baole absorbed more of the aura of death. His soul was getting closer and closer to the planetary system, and his cultivation base was gradually approaching the great circle of the Stellar Realm.
His Star Sealing Incantation shone brighter and brighter. Although the image of the Divine Bull didn't charge out, it was possible to sense the thick Dao aura emanating from it.
This Dao aura was enough to suppress an ordinary planetary system!
As for the more than 10,000 unique stars in the star chart, they were also transforming rapidly. About seventy percent of them … were now stars, emanating intense fluctuations that made Wang Baole look like he was about to explode.
As for the remaining 30%, it was also rapidly increasing!
As for Wang Baole himself, he moved faster and faster. Often, the moment he saw a ruin in front of him, his body would have already entered it. His God's soul would spread out to suppress the evil spirits, and at the same time, he would understand whether or not the Ascension Plate existed.
Then, his Divine Soul moved and his physical body left. The evil spirit that was suppressed by the Divine Soul instantly collapsed.
However, not all of the ferocious spirits were suppressed by Wang Baole's spirit. After he had searched through most of the divine race in the Styx River, he encountered some stronger spirits.
At this moment, Wang Baole's smile was still there. Because of his body, every part of his body could become a divine weapon.
Everywhere he passed, the slaughter would rise again!
And so, time continued to pass. Wang Baole searched through the area where the divine race had existed for a long time. He moved deeper into the depths of the Styx River, and gradually arrived at the ruins where the zombies were the majority.
Here, his Great Circle Divine Soul and his different status didn't make him feel uncomfortable at all. As the underworld fire burned, it was no different from the outside world. In fact, the slaughter was even more intense.
Amidst the rumbling, Wang Baole smiled and grabbed the neck of a rotting zombie that was trying to sneak up on him. He squeezed hard, and with a bang, the zombie's body and soul were destroyed. Then, his body returned to normal and he continued forward.
After a long time, his footsteps … came to a stop for the first time.
This was because he saw a ruin in front of him. It was the same ruin that he remembered from his previous life, the place where he had meditated in search of light.
"What a coincidence …." Wang Baole said with a smile. He shook his head, scanned the area with his Divine Soul, and then turned to leave. But just as he was about to leave, a roar echoed out, and a half-rotted zombie flew out from the ruins and charged toward Wang Baole.
The zombie's appearance was different from Wang Baole's, but the moment Wang Baole laid eyes on it, he felt a sense of familiarity. He even had the feeling that he was looking at another version of himself.
And so, his smile grew even more genuine. He looked up, and his gaze seemed to pierce through the Styx River. He could see beyond it.
"Do not investigate, do not obstruct, do not seal, do not disturb!"
Almost as soon as Wang Baole spoke, the zombie that was pouncing toward him suddenly trembled, as if it had been frozen solid. It remained in its lunging motion, completely motionless.
Even the Styx River did the same, as if it didn't have the right to flow. Everything came to a standstill. Only Wang Baole's smile remained as real as ever.
After a long moment passed, a deep voice echoed out around Wang Baole.
"Do you need me to help you find the Realm Ascension Disc?"
"Sure," said Wang Baole, his smile the same as ever.
A moment later, the entire Styx River began to seethe, and intense ripples spread out from the bottom of the river. Faint roars could be heard as a mysterious beam of light shot out from the bottom of the river. In the blink of an eye, it pierced through everything to arrive in front of Wang Baole.
It was a Feng Shui compass.
It was missing a corner, and looked somewhat dilapidated. There was nothing special about it, even if Meng Hao scanned it with his Divine Sense. However, if he fused the Underworld Fire into his eyes, he would be able to see … an indescribable life force emanating from the Feng Shui compass. That life force didn't seem to have much of an effect on anything, but it had an intense effect on the heavenly bodies.
"Thank you." Wang Baole smiled and nodded. He took the Feng Shui compass and tried to fuse it into his star atlas. He was able to do it, but it didn't increase the evolution power of the heavenly bodies as he had expected.
That meant that the Feng Shui compass couldn't affect his cultivation base. Although it was a precious treasure, from what he could tell, it could only be used to increase the level of his civilization.
Therefore, Wang Baole didn't look at it again. He tossed it into his bag of holding, then continued to descend ….
After he left, the voice didn't continue speaking. Instead, it seemed like a strand of Divine Sense was slowly retracting from the area. When it disappeared, the ruins that had caused Wang Baole to stop in place also turned into an illusion. The zombie that had been standing still also turned into an illusion and faded away.
Although he had obtained the Ascending Realm Disk, Wang Baole still went down to the Nether River. After visiting the ruins of the zombie's previous life, he went to the ruins of the Demonic Blade's world. Then, he went to the land of vengeful spirits. Finally, he went to the ruins of the little white deer's world.
At this point, he was already at the bottom of the Nether River. He could see that there was a lot of mud at the bottom. Wang Baole stopped here. It wasn't that he didn't want to explore, but that the power of the Nether Fire had reached its limit.
Along the way, his Divine Soul had also reached its limit. He was only a hair's breadth away from a breakthrough, but Wang Baole had suppressed it. He didn't want his Divine Soul to advance to the Star Domain level in the Nine Netherworld Nether River.
As for his cultivation base, it was also constantly improving. Ninety percent of the special stars had turned into stars. His star atlas was shining brightly, and his cultivation base had reached the great circle of the Eternal Star Realm.
At this point, the death aura in the Nether River was no longer of much use. What he needed was the power of the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao, the rules and laws of the Life Realm's Dao Domain. Only then could he neutralize it.
"Then let's go." Wang Baole's smile remained. With that smile, he turned around and, step by step, walked towards the surface of the Dark River. His speed became faster and faster until he transformed into a long rainbow that shuttled through the river and leaped up from the surface of the Dark River.
He didn't stop, nor did he ask for someone to open a passage to the Life Realm. Wang Baole hovered in midair. The scabbard in his body shone brightly, and a beam of sword energy shot out from his hand. Wang Baole slashed down, and the Nine Netherworlds rumbled. The void trembled, and a rift was slashed open by Wang Baole's sword energy. Wang Baole took a step forward, stepped into the rift, and disappeared without a trace.
From beginning to end, he was smiling.
From beginning to end, he didn't look … at the figure in the vortex of stars behind him, who was staring at him!
Their Daos were different, so he didn't see him!
