The ripples emanating from the burly figure in the blood pool were impossible for outsiders to detect. In fact, it could be said that no one in the world of the second level could detect them.
They were simply too special ….
However, as soon as Wang Baole entered Desire City, he suddenly stopped in place, and a look of suspicion appeared on his face as he turned to look at the center of the city.
He could sense a very strange ripple.
"True form?" Wang Baole hesitated for a moment. After a moment of careful examination, he realized that something was wrong.
However, the ripples were too similar to his true form. If it weren't for the fact that Wang Baole was certain that his true form couldn't possibly be in Desire City, and that there was some sort of connection between him and his true form, he would have subconsciously assumed that his true form was here!
Even though he felt that it was impossible, the degree of similarity caused Wang Baole to hesitate, and he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
Thankfully, the ripples didn't last for very long before disappearing. After a moment of silence, Wang Baole retracted his gaze. However, the appearance of this matter caused his interest in Desire City to grow even greater.
"This place … contains a secret …." Wang Baole's eyes flickered with a mysterious light as he walked down the street. Although he didn't fit in with the city at all, it was a good thing that not everyone in the city was perfect. There were still many Cultivators from other cities coming and going.
By now, it was almost dusk. Wang Baole, who was new to the city, quickly found an inn. After checking in, he sat down cross-legged and continued to examine the ripples he had sensed earlier.
"Now that I think about it, something doesn't seem right ….
"Could it be … that the true form is here?" Wang Baole frowned, feeling a bit vexed. After some careful analysis, his eyes finally shone with calm.
"Impossible!"
Wang Baole's eyes narrowed as he walked over to the window and looked in the direction of the ripples. "Since I've ruled out that possibility, what exactly is it that caused me to sense the ripples of the true form?"
"According to the layout of Appetite City and Desire City, the central location … is where the Desire Lord of each city resides. Could it be the Desire Lord?
"If it's really him, why do I feel such a strong sensation from him?" Wang Baole gazed off into the distance until evening had passed and the sky was completely dark. Muttering to himself, Wang Baole decided to go check it out during the day.
With that in mind, he was just about to retract his gaze when his expression changed again. That was because … that familiar ripple had appeared again.
This time, it was even more intense than before. To Wang Baole, it was like a mountain fire burning in the middle of the night. His pupils constricted as the ripples shot toward him at top speed.
The sight of this caused Wang Baole's face to flicker. He shot backward, disappearing from his original position. When he reappeared, he was 3,000 meters away. In that instant, the tavern he had just been in collapsed, transforming into ash that flew out in all directions.
Amidst the flying ash and the uproar in the area, a tall, muscular figure emerged from the tavern, glowing with a bright red light. He strode forward, heading directly toward Wang Baole!
Wang Baole's pupils constricted violently. The sense of familiarity that came from his original form overlapped with the unfamiliar figure before him. It gave him the illusion that his original form had changed.
"Outsider, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Even as Wang Baole's mind trembled, the burly figure let out a rumbling sound, and a vicious expression appeared on his face as he reached out to grab Wang Baole.
The burly figure's towering power was like a boundless furnace, causing Wang Baole to feel an intense sense of crisis. This person was clearly different from the other Desire Lords he had encountered!
It wasn't just that the magical laws were different. More importantly … this fleshly body!
The pressure Wang Baole felt from this fleshly body caused his entire body to tremble. However, even as he trembled, an intense desire rose up within him!
He longed to possess this fleshly body!
However, the pressure was too strong, as if it were specifically designed to suppress him. Even though Wang Baole's cultivation base had increased dramatically, and he was now half a Desire Lord, he could clearly sense that he was not a match for this burly figure.
In fact, under the pressure, he would soon lose all ability to fight back. Therefore, there were three options in front of him. The first option was to use the power of the magical laws of hearing and desire to flee.
He was confident that, considering the pressure exerted by this person, he would be able to flee. However, if he didn't leave now, it would be too late.
The second option was to use the various escape routes he had prepared. However, when he thought about the familiar fluctuations, and felt the desire within him, Wang Baole's eyes turned red. He didn't like gambling, but this time … he decided to gamble. He chose the third option!
Almost as soon as Wang Baole made his choice, Lord Desire's hand reached out toward him. The power of his fleshly body combined with magical laws to form a huge net that was about to envelop Wang Baole.
At the critical moment, Wang Baole let out a low growl. The Dharmic Laws of Appetite and Dharmic Laws of Auditory Desires in his body were unleashed at the same time as they fought against the Dharmic Laws of Auditory Desires. The Dharmic Laws of Auditory Desires of the Lord of Auditory Desires were visibly shaken and seemed to have been mostly neutralized. However, the Lord of Auditory Desires' Dharmic Laws didn't weaken in the slightest. The physical strength of the Lord of Auditory Desires continued to unleash.
In the depths of Wang Baole's eyes, there was an imperceptible flicker. He gave up on resisting and allowed himself to be grabbed by the other party. In the next moment, his entire body shook, and with a loud boom, he lost all ability to resist.
"Too weak!" Lord Desire laughed sinisterly. Grabbing Wang Baole, he dashed straight for the underground palace. He was as fast as a shooting star, and in the blink of an eye, he had stepped into the underground palace where the blood pool was located!
As soon as Wang Baole entered, he was deeply shaken by the blood cistern. Shockingly, he could sense some familiar fluctuations within it. Before he could get a closer look, a massive force slammed into him, and he was thrown into the blood cistern by Lord Desire. At the same time, a powerful pressure weighed down on him.
"You let yourself be captured by me on purpose, didn't you? Well, I'll let you have a good look at the blood cistern."
Wang Baole raised his eyebrows. His expression was dark as he stood in the blood pool. After sweeping his gaze across the blood around him, he felt a desire coming from within his body. After that, he suppressed it forcefully, not revealing a single trace of it. Instead, his expression became even darker as he finally looked towards the Desire Lord.
"You knew all along that I was going to come to Desire City?"
Lord Desire laughed heartily, then waved his hand, causing a series of restrictive spells to spread out in all directions. After sealing the entire area, Meng Hao also stepped into the blood cistern, his eyes shining with unconcealable greed and anticipation.
"Of course. That's the deal I made with Joy Host. I helped her intercept information from Lord Desire, and she helped me bring you here!"
