"You seem to understand me very well …." Wang Baole said, his face grim as he looked at Lord Desire.
"I understand you better than you can imagine." Lord Desire sat cross-legged in the blood pool, performing a double-handed incantation gesture. Numerous seals spread out and fused into the blood pool, causing the water to show signs of boiling.
"More accurately speaking, I sensed your aura from the first time you stepped into this world …." Lord Desire looked greedily at Wang Baole. He was in a very good mood. After all the arrangements he had made, he felt that they were foolproof, and he didn't mind talking to Wang Baole for a bit longer.
"You definitely don't know how much effort I put into getting you here. I even joined forces with the Wedding Host to provide help. All of this … was for you."
Wang Baole's expression was the same as ever, but his heart was in turmoil because of these words. He looked closely at Lord Desire, then suddenly spoke.
"Is it because of this body of yours?"
Lord Desire's eyes narrowed, and he looked meaningfully at Wang Baole.
"You noticed it so quickly? It seems you really are a good match!
"You and this body of yours … don't seem to be very compatible." Wang Baole hadn't noticed this before, but now that he was looking at Lord Desire, he finally noticed some clues. Lord Desire's soul and fleshly body didn't seem to be one complete entity ….
It was like a person wearing clothes that were one size too big.
"Interesting," said Lord Desire with a smile.
"Since you've noticed, I might as well let you understand that the one who possesses the Law of Desire is not me, but this body!"
"So you need flesh and blood to maintain it?" Wang Baole immediately asked.
"That's right. This body and my soul aren't compatible. They can't be one, so they can't form a cycle. They can't produce life force, so they will decline. They need to constantly fuse with life force to maintain themselves.
"As for you, according to what I sense, although I don't know why, you are a good match. If I devour you, I might be able to solve the problem of this body needing life force in one go!
"Then what is the origin of this body?" Wang Baole asked again.
"You want to know?" Seeing Lord Desire grin, a deep light flashed in his eyes.
"Unfortunately, time is almost up. I know that you deliberately allowed yourself to be captured by me. There are many problems, but I also need to stall for time like this. Now … there is enough time." When Lord Desire finished speaking, he laughed loudly. The blood pool he was in instantly started churning and boiling. Waves of blood qi erupted and filled the area. At the same time, an astonishing suction force spread out from his body.
The suction force completely locked onto Wang Baole, causing Wang Baole's body to tremble. His Qi and blood flowed out of his pores, as well as his seven orifices, as if they were about to be completely absorbed by the Lord of Desire.
At this critical juncture, Wang Baole suddenly spoke.
"Someone told me that if you want to catch a big fish, you must have enough bait."
"I just don't know if that big fish will be you, or me."
"Ladies and gentlemen of the Seven Emotions, you were able to find me. In that case, if I were to be devoured, then others would be able to find you through me. This is just a clone of mine. I can afford to lose, but … are you sure you can afford to lose?"
"So, why haven't you shown yourself yet?!"
As soon as the words left Wang Baole's mouth, Lord Desire's pupils constricted. He waved his hand, activating all of the restrictive spells in the necropolis. However, nothing could stop a beam of white light from descending from above. It pierced through the ground and all of the restrictive spells to land on Wang Baole. Rumbling sounds echoed out as three vast auras descended, using the magical laws of the Seven Emotions inside of Wang Baole as coordinates.
Those three auras were none other than the Lords of the Seven Emotions, Joy and Sorrow.
At the same time, the aura of the Lord of Wrath also descended outside of Desire City. However, he didn't immediately enter the necropolis. Instead, he waved his hand, causing the magical laws of wrath to ripple out, forming a seal that enveloped all of Desire City.
All of this happened so quickly that the Lord of Desire's expression flickered. Even his mind was shaken, and he began to back away from the blood cistern. However, Wang Baole's eyes went wide, and he once again unleashed the Reverse Possession Magic!
In the blink of an eye, an even more shocking gravitational force erupted from his body, which collided with the gravitational force of the Lord of Desire. Both of them seemed to be shackled, and were incapable of retreating.
Under any other circumstances, the gravitational force of the Lord of Desire's body would have been able to forcibly suppress Wang Baole, and then directly seize him. But now … with the arrival of the Lord of Joy and the others, their auras transformed into shackles that locked down the Lord of Desire, suppressing him.
In this way, the Seven Emotions and Three Emotions were working together with Wang Baole, giving him the qualifications to devour the Lord of Desire.
When the Lord of Desire saw what was happening, he let out a roar of disbelief.
"Impossible! I've already locked down everything! No one can lock onto this person and come here. You … you …."
"If it were anyone else, it would be impossible," said the Lord of Joy softly. "But he … is different." He looked deeply at Wang Baole, whose expression was the same as ever as he continued to unleash the Reverse Possession Magic, causing the blood cistern to continue to boil. Then he looked at the Lord of Desire, whose face was filled with complicated emotions and anger. He bowed slightly to the Lord of Desire.
"My apologies, Lord of Desire," said the Lord of Joy softly. "However, all of this is for the sake of our release …." He waved his hand, and the Magical Law of Joy exploded out. Together with the Lord of Sorrow and Lord of Sorrow, the three emotions enveloped the Lord of Desire, causing his expression to constantly flicker. His thoughts were thrown into chaos, and his mind was in turmoil.
As for Wang Baole, he was completely focused on this. As this continued, his suction force became stronger. With the blood cistern as the medium, waves of flesh and blood that belonged to the Lord of Desire's body turned into Qi and blood that enveloped Wang Baole. It continuously fused into his body through his orifices and pores.
An unprecedented feeling of carefreeness lifted Wang Baole's spirits. He could feel his body, his Divine Soul, and everything about him growing rapidly. To be more precise … he felt like he was becoming … more and more real!
Before this, in the end, he was still a clone. Even if he had an independent will, his body was still a part of his original body. But now … as the Qi and blood fused into him, Wang Baole could clearly sense a life force that was completely his own!
Thirty percent, forty percent ….
The Lord of Desire's body was withering visibly, and he wanted to struggle. He wanted to howl, but to no avail. His body was nothing more than skin and bones, and sixty percent of his Qi and blood had been absorbed by Wang Baole. Even the Magical Law of Desire was pouring into Wang Baole. Apparently, there was no way to reverse the situation.
It was at this point that the Lord of Desire's eyes shone with madness, and he roared. Instantly, the restrictive spells in the necropolis began to shine with brilliant light. A moment later, they all self-detonated, and the necropolis began to collapse.
The force of the collapse was so great that all of Desire City shook as if there was an earthquake. Furthermore, the necropolis, which was at the center of the explosion, was affected by the shockwaves. The suppression of the Seven Emotions, as well as Wang Baole's absorption of the Qi and blood, both paused for a moment.
By taking advantage of this opportunity, the Lord of Desire had reached the pinnacle. The madness in his eyes grew stronger, and a moment later, his body also chose … to self-detonate!
Booms rang out as the Lord of Desire's emaciated body, which had been sixty percent devoured by Wang Baole, split into four parts, which then shot out of the blood cistern and began to flee in all directions!
