For Wang Baole's main body's hypostasis, ferocious beasts in this universe that could pose a threat to him and ignore his pressure were few and far between.
To a certain extent, such ferocious beasts must have developed enough spiritual intelligence to not engage in a life-and-death battle with Wang Baole over matters that did not involve life and death.
Therefore, even if this clone was not as strong as the main body, borrowing some of the main body's hypostasis to suppress was the most natural choice for Wang Baole's clone.
"The main body is in deep slumber, leaving these troublesome matters to me. Since that's the case, it's reasonable for me to borrow his hypostasis." Wang Baole snorted coldly. He stood on the hill-beast's back and lowered his head, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
This cold glint, combined with the pressure, was the greatest threat, causing the hill-beast to gradually tremble. It might have once possessed spiritual intelligence, but it had mostly dissipated in its deep slumber, leaving behind only its instincts.
Instincts, on the other hand, would be even more direct in the face of a life-and-death crisis.
Therefore, in almost an instant, the hill-beast trembled and its entire body went limp, turning from a hill-beast into a pile of minced meat.
"Get up, use your full strength to break open this burial ground." Wang Baole frowned slightly and said calmly.
His voice was like a supreme order to the Mountain Hill Beast, who was already numb from fear. At that moment, its body trembled, and its mouthpart, which was like a tunnel, pierced into the ground in a frenzy, spreading towards the depths of the earth.
Wang Baole spread out his Divine Sense and sensed the hill-beast's effort. In his perception, the hill-beast's mouthpart could only penetrate about ten thousand feet into the ground, but as if to show its value, the hill-beast somehow managed to do it while its body rapidly shrank, and its mouthpart actually continued to extend until it finally reached twenty thousand feet in diameter.
This made Wang Baole overjoyed. With a flash, he followed the tunnel through the mouth of the Mountain Hill Beast, heading straight for the depths of the earth. However, the moment he exited the tunnel and truly set foot in the earth, a stray will from the earth around him surged over like the raging waves of the sea.
On their own, these scattered wills didn't seem to have any offensive power. However, there were so many of them that they blotted out the sky and spread out in all directions. When they gathered together, they were like a source that could destroy all souls. As they exploded, Wang Baole, who had just emerged from the passageway, felt his mind tremble.
In the blink of an eye, his mind seemed to have received countless souls and memories, but there was no complete picture. They were all fragments that could not be seen clearly, constantly attacking his soul.
Even someone as strong as Wang Baole was momentarily dazed.
Fortunately, he was strong enough to withstand the first wave as the veins on his forehead bulged. The Law of Appetite in his body also began to operate rapidly, forming a blurry distortion around his body that constantly blocked the shrouding of this vast sea of wills.
"Just how many lives are buried here …" Wang Baole's expression was ugly. He could sense that the scattered wills from all directions were numerous times more numerous than the number of lives in the stone tablet world.
And this was only twenty thousand feet underground. Wang Baole could sense that the deeper he went, the denser and more violent the sea of wills became.
"Below … I wonder how deep it is." Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and didn't act rashly. Instead, he sensed the effect of the Law of Appetite here. When he saw that the Law of Appetite was fully operating, he gradually reached a balance at twenty thousand feet underground. The piercing pain from being drowned by the sea of wills also disappeared.
That made Wang Baole feel slightly more at ease. At the same time, he also realized the uniqueness of the Law of Gluttony … This law seemed to affect the physical body of an enemy, causing them to feel hungry and greedy, but in reality … it affected the soul and will.
In other words, the Law of Appetite could resist the surrounding sea of wills because it was like a source of pollution. It was doing its best to pollute the scattered wills.
And these scattered wills were extremely weak in this aspect, as if they had met their natural enemy. They were gradually frozen by the Law of Appetite, which was far inferior in numbers.
When the balance was reached, Wang Baole muttered to himself for a moment. Then, his body flickered and he shuttled down into the ground. He didn't move quickly, and every time he shuttled, he controlled it to be about ten feet.
Just like that, he continued to descend. Ten feet, thirty feet, eighty feet … until he had shuttled through more than seven thousand feet. When his overall position was about twenty-seven thousand feet underground, Wang Baole's body couldn't bear it anymore.
The balance of the Law of Appetite also showed signs of collapsing. In this position, the sea of wills formed by the scattered wills was much more violent than before, and the number was even more shocking.
Most importantly, in this position, Wang Baole felt that among the countless scattered wills, there were some … divine wills belonging to fourth step cultivators.
These divine wills didn't have any emotional fluctuations, but the impact they had was still very strong, and … there were too many of them.
"Should I leave, or … rush over to take a look?" Facing this increasingly shocking sea of wills, Wang Baole was a little hesitant, but soon, his eyes flashed.
"Since I'm already here, how could I possibly be willing to just leave like this?!
"I'd like to see why those almighty beings of the Universe of Origin and Dao are slumbering in the depths of the earth. What secrets are hidden here?!"
Wang Baole's eyes flashed fiercely, and the Law of Appetite inside of him spread out. It spun rapidly around him, and at the same time, he shot forward.
That one charge … covered a distance of thirty thousand feet!
In the blink of an eye, Wang Baole was twenty-seven thousand feet down. This was … his limit. Any more, and he wouldn't be risking his life, but committing suicide.
Furthermore, even if he wasn't intentionally committing suicide, the violent nature of the sea of wills in this position caused Wang Baole's mind to fill with roaring, and his consciousness to fall into chaos.
Thankfully, the hypostasis of his true self allowed him to maintain a sliver of consciousness amidst the chaos. He quickly looked around, and his eyes filled with shock. Without the slightest hesitation, he began to retreat.
Although he was retreating, the sea of wills seemed to be exploding. It converged madly, attacking him relentlessly, as if it wanted to completely assimilate him. Even though Wang Baole was retreating with shocking speed, the pursuit of the sea of wills was just as terrifying.
In the end, just as Wang Baole's consciousness was about to fade away, he finally made it six thousand feet down into the mouth of the hillbeast. As soon as he entered, the sea of wills surged madly toward him.
"Stop it with everything you've got!" Wang Baole roared.
