Sixty percent of Lord Desire's body had been sucked away by Wang Baole, and the remaining forty percent turned into four streams of blood-red light in the explosion. They spread out in all directions at an extremely fast speed and disappeared into the distance in an instant.
With the help of the shockwaves from the self-destruction, his escape had reached its limit. However, Wang Baole and the Seven Emotions Three Sovereigns reacted extremely quickly as well. They separated in an instant, each chasing after a ray of blood-colored light.
However, after a short while, as everyone gathered, their expressions were somewhat gloomy.
"Lord Seeing Desire lives up to his reputation," said the Joy Host softly. "Even though he only had forty percent of his power left after the explosion, he was still able to disappear without a trace. However, he can't escape. Lord Wrath locked down the city. He's definitely still in Seeing Desire City."
Lord Sorrow and Lord Sorrow shook their heads. As for Wang Baole, his eyes narrowed. He had originally planned to use his senses to lock onto Lord Seeing Desire, but clearly, Lord Seeing Desire had learned his lesson, and had used some unknown method to prevent him from locking onto Lord Seeing Desire.
At the moment, Meng Hao needed time to digest the Law of Seeing Desire. Therefore, he didn't pursue Lord Seeing Desire by force. Instead, he looked over at the Joy Host and the others.
"Joy Host," said Wang Baole slowly, "I need an explanation."
"Considering what you're thinking, I don't think you need me to explain. Lord Seeing Desire and I worked together before. He helped us prevent Lord Seeing Desire from sending messages to the Upper Realm, and I helped him … lure you into Seeing Desire City. Actually, I didn't violate our agreement. I did lure you here …."
"Lure you in?" asked Wang Baole, his expression the same as ever.
"That's right," replied the Joy Host calmly. "Lord Seeing Desire is very special. Even in his complete state, he can't leave Seeing Desire City."
"Because of that body?" asked Wang Baole suddenly.
"The Law of Desire is very special, because this Law is not controlled by any cultivator. It is only controlled by … that body. It can also be said that whoever controls that body will control the Law of Desire, and that person will be the Lord of Desire."
"As for this Jianyu Lord, I can also tell you his origin. He was originally a disciple of the Upper Realm's deity, the Emperor Emperor. Back then, he died in battle, leaving only a wisp of his soul. The Emperor Emperor used a drop of his own blood to create a body for him."
"However, their essences are different, so the Imperial Emperor extracted the Law of Desire and fused it into this body so that his disciple could smoothly possess it. However, as the Imperial Emperor went into seclusion, this body gradually became imperfect."
"He lacks vitality, and he needs to continuously fuse with a large amount of life force in order to maintain his flames of life and maintain this Desire Lord's fusion state. However, as of today, he has already reached his limit."
"But your appearance changed everything. Even though I don't know the reason, I can guess that if he devours you, it will be of great help to this body, and it will greatly increase the time he can use it."
"I believe that this is the reason why he wants to work together with me. He can't leave, so he needs the help of others to lure you here. The reason why I'm helping you is because … our goals should be the same." This time, Xi Zhu did not hide anything and told Wang Baole everything he knew.
When Wang Baole heard that, he was silent for a long time. Now that he heard the things that the Desire Lord hadn't said previously from the Joy Lord's mouth and combined them with his own knowledge and judgment, he already had a more comprehensive outline in his heart.
As for the reason why Xi Zhu helped him, Wang Baole did not completely believe him. He clearly had some other reasons that were not known to outsiders, but that was not important. What was important was … Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and sensed his body. He could clearly sense that he was different from before.
Before, he seemed to be independent, but that was only his consciousness. At the end of the day, his physical body was still connected to his real body. But now … that connection had become much fainter.
To a certain extent, the current him could be considered to be independent.
The feeling of familiarity with his own body caused Wang Baole's eyes to shine with a deep light. There was also the Law of Seeing Desire … this Law was completely different from his previous appetite and hearing desires.
Seeing Desire represented the beauty of everything he saw, and it also represented that he could transform into anything he wanted. In fact, at this moment, he could be considered the source of the Law of Seeing Desire. He could sense all the disciples in Seeing Desire City who cultivated this Law, and with a flip of his hand, he could turn the beauty of the matter into ugliness, and vice versa.
It was the same when it came to spells and divine abilities.
"An indestructible body …" Wang Baole murmured in his heart. This was a very distinct characteristic of the Law of Seeing Desire. To a certain extent, seeing desire … could also be said to be deceiving oneself.
Deceiving oneself to believe everything one saw, and if it succeeded, it would turn the false into the truth!
It was also this characteristic that allowed him to completely hide himself, and not be sensed by the source of the Law he cultivated.
"What an interesting Law." A sharp light flashed in Wang Baole's eyes. In the next instant, his body changed, and he turned into the burly figure of the Seeing Desire Master from before.
As he stood there, runes shone all over his body, and the aura of the Seeing Desire Master erupted. This caused Xi Zhu and the others to narrow their eyes. When they looked at Wang Baole, they had different expressions.
If they hadn't seen Wang Baole's transformation with their own eyes, they definitely wouldn't have been able to tell if it was real or fake. After all, Wang Baole had grasped 60% of his body and the Law of Seeing Desire. It wouldn't be a problem to say that he was the Seeing Desire Master.
After sensing the current changes, Wang Baole was very satisfied. At the same time, he was looking forward to seeing the four Seeing Desire Master's qi and blood that had escaped.
His judgment was the same as Xi Zhu's. He didn't think that the four Seeing Desire Master's self-destruction could escape Seeing Desire City, so they should be hiding in the city.
And they definitely wouldn't dare to show themselves or expose themselves. In that case … he might as well take over the magpie's nest and become the Seeing Desire Master …
"All disciples of Seeing Desire City, heed my command!" After making up his mind, Wang Baole ignored Xi Zhu and the others. Instead, he leapt into the air and sent out his divine sense, shaking the entire city.
In the next moment, the cultivators of Seeing Desire City who had been shaken by the explosion in the underground palace, as well as the disciples of the Seeing Desire Master who had been nearby but hadn't dared to approach, were all shaken. When they saw Wang Baole floating in the air, they breathed a sigh of relief. They all knelt down and bowed.
"We greet the Seeing Desire Master!"
At this moment, the more than 100,000 cultivators who cultivated the Law of Seeing Desire all knelt down, their momentum soaring to the heavens. As for Wang Baole, his aura erupted, making him seem like a master. He lowered his head and swept his gaze in all directions.
"All cultivators, heed my command. There are four traitors who stole a portion of my blood pool and hid them in the city. From today onwards, you will search for them. If there are any abnormalities, suppress them with all your strength.
"If you find these four people, I will bring them to comprehend the Law of Seeing Desire once!" As Wang Baole's words spread out, all the cultivators in the city responded, their eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.
At the same time, in four different directions of the city, the four avatars of the Seeing Desire Master were gnashing their teeth. They looked at Wang Baole in the air, their hatred for him seeping into their bones.
