"There are still six days left. I have to hurry!" After entering the sea of fire, Wang Baole did some calculations. He knew that he didn't have much time left. The trial in six days was even more important. It would determine the alliance between the Federation and the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. In fact, it would determine whether or not a war would break out between the two sides!
In fact, the old foxes in the Federation had already analyzed and even simulated the war between the Federation and the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. The final conclusion was that the Federation would definitely lose. However, if they could delay the war for ten years, the chances of the Federation winning would increase.
After a certain point, the war might not even break out. After all … all invasions had a price to pay. If it was obvious that the price had to be paid, then even if Feng Qiuran was weak at the time, she would still take the opportunity to oppose the invasion and take the lead again.
Some of these thoughts had been secretly told to Wang Baole by Li Xingwen before he entered the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. Some of them had been analyzed by Wang Baole himself. At that moment, all sorts of thoughts flashed through his mind as he continued moving forward in the sea of fire.
As he moved forward, the diamond-shaped spots on Wang Baole's heart shone brightly. They were released, causing the meridians in Wang Baole's body to vibrate. They were connected by spirit qi and spread out from his body. Soon, a huge human silhouette was formed outside his body.
This silhouette was formed by the meridians connected by spirit qi. It looked translucent, and if one didn't look carefully in the sea of fire, it would be hard to notice.
After doing all that, a cold glint flashed across Wang Baole's eyes. As the first level of Thearch Armor was activated and transformed, a sense of power appeared on Wang Baole's body. It was as if he had put on a set of indestructible armor, and it gave him the illusion that he could destroy all life in his path.
Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. With a wave of his right hand, he released the donkey from his storage bag. "Next, I have to find all beasts that can be killed and kill them with the Flame Snatch technique. I will absorb their essence and spirit to accumulate energy for my Flame Snatch Thearch Armor!"
"Scram. Find all life in this sea of fire except for cultivators!" The moment the donkey appeared, Wang Baole's voice transmitted to it before it could even sense its surroundings. Due to the presence of the Thearch Armor, the voice was a little buzzing and contained a hint of authority. The donkey was stunned. When it saw Wang Baole, its eyes widened.
Outsiders wouldn't be able to see the translucent Thearch Armor clearly. However, the donkey was very close to Wang Baole, and it was also very special. Therefore, not only did it see the armor clearly, but it also instinctively felt a terrifying spirit energy from Wang Baole's Thearch Armor that made it tremble.
Although the ripple was weak and well hidden, the donkey could still sense it. Therefore, under Wang Baole's gaze, the donkey immediately nodded. Not daring to hesitate, it began to scan its surroundings. Its nose twitched slightly. Even in this sea of fire, it seemed to be able to detect the aura. Soon, its eyes lit up, and it shot forward.
The donkey was very fast. When Wang Baole saw it, he was pleasantly surprised. He wondered if the donkey had the genes of a dog. Could it be that one of its parents was a dog? Otherwise, how could this guy wag its tail and have such a sensitive nose?
While Wang Baole was wondering about the donkey's parents, the donkey had already brought Wang Baole to the side of a small mountain at the bottom of the sea. Almost as soon as they got close, roars came from within the small mountain. Instantly, three Inferno Rats rushed out and fled.
Without waiting for the donkey to give chase, a cold light flashed in Wang Baole's eyes. With a sudden burst of speed, he stirred up ripples in the sea of fire and went straight for the three Inferno Rats. No matter how they struggled or tried to escape, they could not break free. In an instant, Wang Baole caught up with them. He raised his right hand and grabbed at the three Inferno Rats.
He moved with incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, Wang Baole's hand had grabbed one of the Inferno Rats. Inwardly, he was chanting the words Candle Snatch!
Almost as soon as the words left his mouth, a bloody glow emanated out from Wang Baole's body. It coalesced in his right hand, which then enveloped the Inferno Rat. In the blink of an eye, the Inferno Rat began to tremble. It wanted to scream, but in the process of opening its mouth, its body began to wither rapidly.
In the end, it opened its mouth, but no longer had the strength to make a sound. Its flesh and blood began to corrode. Even its soul and everything else became a part of the red glow. The red glow seemed to be filled with greed as it spread out toward the other two Inferno Rats.
The other two Inferno Rats were clearly frightened. They fled as fast as they could, but were unable to escape the pursuit of the red glow. Soon, they were covered up. When the red glow returned to Wang Baole, the donkey trembled as it realized that the only thing left of the two Inferno Rats was a faint layer of fur ….
As for the red glow, it fused into Wang Baole's Emperor's Armor. Now, the originally translucent armor was covered with veins of blood. The armor no longer looked translucent, but rather, it was bizarre and awe-inspiring because of the veins of blood!
Wang Baole closed his eyes and sensed the Flame Snatch Emperor's Armor. Then, he transmitted to the donkey: "Keep going!"
To the donkey, the voice sounded even more terrifying than before. It nodded quickly, as if it was worried that Wang Baole would devour it if it couldn't find enough Inferno Rats. Therefore, the donkey was clearly going crazy. Its eyes were red, and its nose was almost damaged from the smell as it searched for more Inferno Rats.
And so, the days passed. Wang Baole's slaughter continued. As one Inferno Rat after another was killed by his Flame Snatch, his Emperor's Armor grew redder. At the same time, because of the domineering nature of the Flame Snatch, not every Inferno Rat had a Beast Core. However, Wang Baole didn't care about that. The Flame Snatch devoured all Essence, Qi, and Soul. Even if there were a Beast Core, it would be reduced to nothing.
As he continued killing, his Thearch Armor, which was red in color, gradually exuded a terrifying aura. This aura was formed by killing too many Inferno Rats. Therefore, in the Sea of Fire, there was a certain degree of enhancement. This caused Wang Baole's speed and explosive combat power to rise continuously in the Sea of Fire.
In the end, the donkey was scared out of its wits. This was because as time went on, Wang Baole spoke less and less. The murderous aura and madness on him made the donkey feel unfamiliar. If not for the connection in their souls, the donkey would have thought that it had a new father.
As Wang Baole continued his slaughter and the Flame Snatch, there were only two days left before the trial began. In these few days, the entire Holy Zhi Palace was discussing the trial. This made the Holy Zhi Palace even livelier than before. Many disciples from the outer islands also gathered. In particular, some of the disciples traded frequently in the marketplace.
Clearly, with the revelation of the trial quota and candidates, those who knew that they would be participating in the trial began to make detailed preparations. Zhao Yameng and Kongdao were the same. However, even though the Federation Seedlings knew the importance of this matter and tried their best to find clues, they still couldn't find much useful information in the end.
Just like that, two days passed in the blink of an eye. On the night before the trial began, a violent roar came from a region in the depths of the sea of fire. The roar spread even though it was at the bottom of the sea, causing the sea of fire to roil and explode. The donkey rushed out with all its might amidst the explosive force. When it reached a distance that it felt was safe, it turned around to look behind it with fear still lingering in its heart.
As the booming sounds reverberated in the area it was looking at, the red light spread out for thousands of feet. Shrill screams of pain and anguished wails came from within, and it only calmed down after a long time. Then, as the red light shrank rapidly, a figure walked out from within!
The figure's hair fluttered in the wind. His eyes were cold, and his face was expressionless. At the same time, there was a red human silhouette about seventy to eighty feet tall around him. The silhouette was very clear, as if countless meridians were gathered together. It was a shocking sight, and a murderous aura emanated from the silhouette.
It was as if a demon god had descended.
It was … Wang Baole, who had activated his Flame Snatch Thearch Armor!
At the right hand of his Thearch Armor, he was dragging the carcass of a Great Inferno Beast that was fifty feet tall. There was a single black horn on the carcass' head. Even though it was dead, the beast's body still emitted terrifying waves of energy. To the donkey, this wave of energy was clearly that of a late-stage Core Formation cultivator who was infinitely close to the perfected stage!
This already made the donkey tremble. What made it even more terrified was that … as Wang Baole walked over, the right hand of the carcass was withering at a visible rate. When Wang Baole arrived in front of the donkey, the carcass of the Great Inferno Beast was only left with its skin and fur. Its flesh, blood, and spirit had all turned into a wriggling pool of blood. Like liquid, it wriggled into Wang Baole's Thearch Armor!
"Let's go. It's time to go back."
