Hearing the drunkard's words, Wang Baole's gaze was deep and unfathomable. He didn't reply, instead looking calmly at the disappearing drunkard and the world before him. After a few breaths, the entire city was like a popped bubble, collapsing and disappearing into nothingness.
The moment it dissipated, the dream and reality intersected. Wang Baole's Dream Dao activated. He seized this opportunity to close his eyes.
At the same time, under the Heaven Trampling Bridge on the Immortal Astral Continent, Wang Baole's original body, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating, gradually blurred. It was as if his existence had become a person in a painting that was being slowly erased.
As it was wiped away and completely disappeared, Wang Baole, who existed in the Primordial Space Dao Kong, slowly opened his eyes. His body also gradually became flesh and blood. When his eyes were completely opened …
He was no longer in the dream.
What he saw before him … was a strange world!
The sky here looked like it was on fire. It was crimson red and looked like it was smeared with blood. It gave off an indescribable sense of evil.
As for the earth, it was barren without a single blade of grass. It was difficult to see any traces of life, and even the ruins were nowhere to be seen.
It was as if this was a forbidden zone for life.
Desolation and exhaustion seemed to be the main theme here. Even the wind that blew by felt rough. When it landed on Wang Baole's body, he felt like he was being dissipated.
"The wind here … contains a special law that seems to be absorbing my vitality." Wang Baole sensed it silently, then looked at his surroundings again. Then, his Divine Will spread out and enveloped the entire area.
He wanted to see what kind of area this was, but it was clear that there was a suppression in this universe. Even with Wang Baole's cultivation, he could only spread out a part of it.
Although it was only a part, it was still vast enough, comparable to the size of the entire stone tablet realm.
Within the range of his divine sense, the earth hadn't changed at all. From beginning to end, not a single trace of life had appeared.
Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. With a flick of his body, his speed exploded as he sped into the distance. After flying continuously for four hours, his eyebrows gradually furrowed.
According to what he knew before he came, there were universes formed by 108 Almighties in the Universe of Origin and Dao. Logically speaking, he should be in a universe at this moment. However, after four hours of flying, even if his Divine Will was suppressed here, it was enough for him to fly across a universe, not to mention that this was only a continent.
But so far, from what he saw and felt, there was no change at all, and he hadn't reached the edge of the continent. Life was still extinct here.
"Something is wrong, there shouldn't be no life here … Otherwise, who were the countless specks of light I saw in my dream dao?"
Wang Baole stood under the crimson sky and looked down at the earth. After a long moment, he looked up again. Since this continent seemed to have no end, he decided to go up to the sky and take a look.
With that thought, Wang Baole suddenly rose up and rushed toward the crimson sky. However, the sky was also extremely strange. It also seemed to have no end. No matter how Wang Baole moved forward, even if he went deep into the sky and was surrounded by red light, he still couldn't rush out completely.
It was as if the world he was in was limitless, and every place was a place that was difficult to step out of.
In the end, because the red light was too dense, it faintly transformed into a red fog. However, he was still trapped in it and couldn't find a way out.
Wang Baole frowned, and a cold light flickered in his eyes. He paused for a moment, then lifted his right hand. The Eight Extremities Daos exploded out, and the power of the five elements circulated. He was just about to force his way out of this world.
However, it was at this point that Wang Baole's expression suddenly grew serious. He could sense ripples within the range of his Divine Will. If he were to liken his Divine Will to the surface of a lake, then the ripples would be like the ripples caused by a stone being dropped into the water.
Almost as soon as he sensed the ripples, Wang Baole's Divine Will locked onto the source of the ripples. He could clearly sense that within the red fog, there was a figure moving at incredible speed.
The figure was very strange. Clearly, there was a huge difference in speed between it and Wang Baole's. And yet, even with the level of Wang Baole's Cultivation base, he couldn't see the figure clearly.
The only thing he could sense was that the figure seemed to be filled with joy. Even Meng Hao's own Divine Sense was infected, and joy welled up in his heart.
Shockingly, there were two other blurry figures chasing after the figure. These two figures were even more bizarre than the one who seemed to be in joy. More accurately speaking, they … were no longer complete figures.
Wang Baole could sense that the two pursuers seemed to be in a state between corporeal and illusory. When corporeal, he could just barely make out their human forms. However, when they were illusory, they completely vanished. The only thing that remained were two melodies that Wang Baole had never heard before. One was fast, the other was slow, and they floated through his mind.
Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. After observing for a moment, he realized that the three figures were about to leave the range of his Divine Will in the midst of their pursuit. So, a glimmer flashed in his eyes. He took a step forward and disappeared suddenly.
When he reappeared, he was right in the middle of the three figures. His appearance was so sudden that even the person being chased was taken aback. As for the other two who were chasing after him, they were even more shocked.
For some reason, Wang Baole was now able to clearly see the faces of the three pursuers. The one being pursued was a young man with a pale face. His features were unremarkable, and yet, for some reason, Wang Baole's heart filled with joy when he saw him.
As for the two pursuers, they were middle-aged. Their faces were cold, and they radiated an indescribable sense of arrogance.
These two were even fiercer. Although Wang Baole had appeared out of the blue, they didn't slow down in the slightest. Instead, they charged directly toward Wang Baole. As they did, their figures blurred and then vanished. The only thing that remained were two melodies that were clearly approaching Wang Baole.
"What divine ability are they using?" Wang Baole asked curiously, looking back at the young man being pursued.
As soon as the question left his mouth, Wang Baole heard the melodies, and suddenly, he felt as if his body were about to be taken over. In fact, he felt a strange power rising up inside of him, as if it were about to explode and drown him.
Wang Baole was very surprised. Suppressing his Cultivation base, which was like that of a ferocious beast to the two melodies, he carefully examined them as if they were little earthworms.
At the same time, the one being pursued clearly didn't know what sort of person Wang Baole was. His eyes flickered, and he laughed coldly in his heart.
"Running into a singer from Listening Desire City," he thought. "He actually allowed the melodies to surround him. He must be an ancient person who just woke up. How foolish. Who would ask such a question upon meeting someone? Only a fool would tell the truth." With a cold snort, the young man looked at him as if he were looking at a dead man. It was as if he could sense that in the next moment, this mysterious newcomer would definitely die. Therefore, he turned and fled at top speed.
However, even as his body flickered and he flew less than thirty meters away, the two melodies behind him … suddenly stopped!
After a moment of shock, the young man subconsciously turned his head. When he saw what was happening behind him, his eyes went wide, and he looked as if he had just seen a ghost.
"Y-y-you …."
At that moment, Wang Baole, who he was looking at, was standing there, holding two musical notes between his fingers. He was looking at them curiously and fiddling with them continuously.
The two musical notes were trembling violently, as if they were terrified to the extreme. They struggled and let out howls of anguish, causing the melody to change.
Just now, the two melodies had savagely slammed into his boundless Cultivation base. Then … they began to tremble, and tried to retreat. However, it was too late.
"What divine ability are they using?" Noticing that the youth who was being chased had stopped, Wang Baole raised his head. As the two notes struggled and wailed, Wang Baole asked seriously again.
The young man took a deep breath. After a moment of hesitation, he obediently replied,
"Senior, they are Cultivators from Listening Desire City, and they cultivate the Sound Technique. All of the sounds that can be heard are the result of their cultivation of the Sound Technique. Once they cultivate it to a certain level, they can transform into melodies. They can exist eternally, undying and indestructible."
The young man's response was very detailed ….
