The four clones formed by the Lord of Desire hated Wang Baole to the bone, but there was nothing they could do. Just as Wang Baole had predicted, they did not dare to expose themselves.
After all, even if they did not count the Seven Emotions and the others, just the current Wang Baole was enough to suppress and devour them. At the same time, the seal on the city made them understand that even though the restriction of the curse that prevented them from leaving the city had disappeared because of the self-destruction, it was still too difficult to escape the city.
Another thing … was that even though the four clones were formed by the Lord of Desire's self-destruction and were a part of his consciousness, they … were not unified.
To a certain extent, it could be said that the four clones were weaker versions of the Lord of Desire with different personalities, and they carried different amounts of memories.
Among them, there was one clone whose personality represented the Lord of Desire's unswerving determination. This clone also carried the most memories. He hid in a corner and narrowed his eyes as he looked at the distant Wang Baole in the sky.
He was confident that for a certain period of time, the other party would not be able to find him through his senses. That period of time was the key for him to rise up again and take back his Qi and blood.
"I don't know what personalities the other three clones carry, but I can't rely on them too much. Their mission is more to distract that damned person.
"The main point is how I carry it out … Fortunately, I made preparations in order to prevent any accidents from happening." The Lord of Desire's clone narrowed his eyes. His body flickered and he left. When he reappeared, he was under a well in the Lord of Desire City.
The well was very ordinary. There were no fluctuations or clues, and no one knew that there was a secret hidden deep within it …
It was a sealed jar.
At that moment, the Lord of Desire's clone appeared beside the jar. He looked at the jar that had been sealed and buried here for an unknown period of time and sighed softly.
This jar was the Lord of Desire's backup plan. Many years ago, when the Lord of Desire's master was in closed-door cultivation, he noticed that his body was gradually losing its vitality and needed to continuously fuse with life force. He had considered that if this continued, he might become weaker and weaker. Once there was a problem with his Divine Soul and body, there might be a day when his body would be taken away by someone.
And this body carried the Law of Desire. Whoever grasped it could instantly become the Lord of Desire.
He was very worried that once such a thing happened, he would be powerless to face it. Therefore, at that time, he was thinking about how to reverse the situation if it happened.
Because of that, he had used up the Qi and blood of the original body, causing its vitality to drop even lower. He had needed even more life force to reverse refine … a drop of core blood.
In fact, the purity of this blood was extremely close to the blood of an Imperial Emperor.
And because this drop of blood came from the same source as the body, and its purity was astonishing, it was like a remote control that could control everything about the body.
This was the backup plan he had left for himself, and it was also the reason why he had risked everything to choose to self-destruct and escape. He was also worried that it would not be safe to keep this item by his side, which was why he had chosen this place. No one would have thought that such a supreme treasure was hidden under the ancient well.
Besides, as the Lord of Desire, he did not need to deliberately observe this place. Normally, he could naturally ensure that no one would notice this place.
At that moment, he narrowed his eyes and put away the jar. In an instant, he disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
During these three days, all the cultivators in the city were madly searching for any abnormalities. The Lord of Joy and the others also spread out their divine senses to investigate, but they could not find any clues. It was as if the four clones had completely disappeared.
As for Wang Baole, during these three days, he had completely absorbed the Law of Desire and the Qi and blood he had absorbed from the body. Right now, in terms of strength, he was no weaker than any of the Lord of Desire and the seven emotions.
This was especially so because he had mastered a very heterogeneous variety of Laws. Among the seven Laws of Emotions, he had cultivated four of them. Although the level of mastery was not high, it was enough for him to use them together.
Among the six Laws of Desire, his mastery of the Law of Appetite had reached the highest level, with the exception of the Lord of Desire. Although he had only mastered thirty percent of the Law of Desire, it was still very powerful. After all, it had been separated from the source.
There was also the Law of Desire. He had mastered sixty percent of it, and he had turned into the Lord of Desire.
Because of this, the battle prowess displayed by the combination of these Laws made Wang Baole even more confident. However … even so, during these three days, when he occasionally spread out his divine sense, he still could not find any clues about the four clones.
Besides, as he fused with the Law of Desire and sixty percent of his Qi and blood, Wang Baole's desire for the next four portions grew. He could feel that if he could devour all of them, his body would definitely reach an even more perfect state.
"I don't need four portions. Two or three more portions … will be enough." As Wang Baole murmured, he ended his cultivation for the day. Sitting cross-legged in the blood pool, he spread out his divine sense and prepared to search again.
However, at that moment, Wang Baole's expression suddenly changed. A sharp sound suddenly rang out in his ears. The sound was so strong that it caused his body to rumble. An enormous force of repulsion erupted from the sixty percent of Qi and blood he had absorbed into his body. It was actually trying to repel Wang Baole's God Soul.
Wang Baole was completely unprepared. His God Soul trembled, and a small portion of it was shaken out of his body.
If a Cultivator were there at that moment and used their Spirit Eyes to look, they would definitely be able to see the burly figure sitting there cross-legged with his God Soul about to leave his body.
Wang Baole's mind trembled. The resistance from his body was extremely sudden and fierce. Even though Wang Baole was using all of his strength to suppress it, he was barely able to do so. It was as if his body was being controlled by someone else, and it was using all of its power to repel his God Soul. It was as if the process wouldn't stop until he was expelled.
Thankfully, the entire process only lasted for two hours. During that time, Wang Baole had already unleashed all of his power. His face was pale, and he was drenched in sweat. His breathing was ragged, and he suddenly looked up. His divine sense swept out in all directions, but there was nothing to be gained in Desire City.
That caused his expression to darken.
"Lord of Desire," Wang Baole said in a low voice, his eyes shining fiercely. "Is this your trump card?"
At the same time, in the ancient well in Desire City, Lord of Desire's clone had an unsightly expression on his face. Although he was currently at the bottom of the well, his appearance had changed, and he was now in a small underground palace.
In the place where the blood pool used to be was a pot of blood.
"I can't even control it …. I refuse to believe that your control over this body can surpass my Core Blood in such a short time!" Lord of Desire's clone's eyes glittered coldly.
"It's too bad you can only use it once a day. But that doesn't matter. Let's see how long you can last!"
