As he looked around him, Wang Baole suppressed the complicated feelings in his heart. He waved his right hand and instantly took out more than ten puppets. He ordered them to spread out and search the city. As he walked into the city, he looked at the buildings and headed towards the place where the Dark Sect's aura was the strongest.
He could tell that many people had once lived here. Based on some of the details, the people who had lived here had been prepared when the crisis had descended. However, no matter how prepared they had been, they had still been unable to fight back. In the end, they had all died. Even the giant had been sliced in half.
Wang Baole couldn't help but sigh. He shook his head and continued to walk towards the center of the city. However, not long after he had walked out, Wang Baole's gaze suddenly froze. He stopped in his tracks.
He sensed that one of the dozen or so puppets he had released had lost contact with him without any warning in that instant.
This made Wang Baole wary. With a flash of his body, he rushed towards the place where the puppet that he had lost contact with was last seen. When he got close, Wang Baole saw a puppet lying motionless in a street corner.
Wang Baole didn't approach it immediately. He narrowed his eyes and waved his right hand. Immediately, a flying sword shot out with a whistling sound towards the puppet. However, the moment it got close, the puppet suddenly moved. It flipped over, and a red light shot out from under its body. It dodged the flying sword and let out a piercing shriek as it charged towards Wang Baole's face.
However, the moment it got close, it seemed to sense the Dark Fire around Wang Baole's body. The red light quickly retreated in an attempt to escape.
Although it was fast, Wang Baole's Flame Snatch Thearch Armor didn't dissipate. He quickly raised his right hand and grabbed the red light.
The red light was an object that looked like an earthworm. It wasn't a corpse, but was actually alive. At that moment, it was writhing in Wang Baole's hand. There was a huge crack on its head, and as sticky liquid dripped from it, pitch-black teeth could be seen. It roared fiercely at Wang Baole, as if it was trying to break free.
However, its trembling body betrayed the fear in its heart. Based on how it had retreated previously, Wang Baole had deduced that the earthworm was afraid of the Dark Fire!
Wang Baole fell into deep thought. He glanced at the puppet's back and saw that there was a gap. Clearly, his puppet had been suddenly attacked by this worm when it was searching for this place. It had pierced through its body and shattered its core.
"It doesn't look very strong." Muttering to himself, Wang Baole's Flame Snatch Thearch Armor clenched his right hand. Instantly, the red earthworm screamed in pain. However, its body wasn't crushed. Wang Baole's eyes narrowed. With a thought, he spread the Dark Fire around it. Immediately, the earthworm screamed even more miserably. When the Dark Fire surrounded it, it instantly burned and turned into ashes that disappeared into the palm of Wang Baole's Flame Snatch Thearch Armor.
The sound of the earthworm's death echoed in this quiet world. Almost at the same time it turned into ashes, the earth trembled slightly, and the surrounding ruins shook. In the blink of an eye, a large number of red earthworms crawled out from the buildings, from the ground, and even from the mountain-like arm of the giant skeleton in the distance!
The smallest of these earthworms were about as large as the first one, and the largest were dozens of meters long. Most shocking of all was that in the distant mountain range, an earthworm that was about three hundred meters long could be seen. Howling, it crawled out and looked at Wang Baole.
From a distance, it was impossible to see the city or the skeletal arm. The only thing that could be seen were the countless earthworms, which looked like the hair of a giant. They swayed back and forth, covering everything.
Wang Baole narrowed his eyes as he looked at the countless red earthworms. In the blink of an eye, he sensed that he had lost contact with all of the puppets he had sent out.
"These red earthworms look like … body hair?" Wang Baole shook his head. He didn't know much about such things, but he didn't really care. After all, he had just confirmed that the underworld flame was the bane of these earthworms. He took another deep breath, causing the underworld flame to spread out even more. Rumbling sounds could be heard as it spread out in all directions. The black flames emanated a coldness that caused frost to appear on the ground.
The underworld flame really was the bane of these earthworms, causing them to let out miserable shrieks and fall back. Even the largest earthworm on the arm shivered and shrank back by more than half.
After confirming that the underworld flame was effective, Wang Baole proceeded forward. None of the earthworms dared to get close to him, and they all moved out of his way. It was almost as if they were parting ways for Wang Baole, allowing Wang Baole to reach the center of the city.
There … was a huge square in the middle of the city!
Perhaps calling it a square wasn't quite right, because more accurately speaking, it was more like an altar. There were more than ten damaged statues around it, and based on its position, the center of the square should be the top of the giant's head!
This was also the place where the Dark Sect's aura was the strongest.
Wang Baole stared at the broken statues around him. Even though most of them were badly damaged and couldn't be seen clearly, Wang Baole could tell that they were probably the supreme beings of the Dark Sect in the past. They were the pillars of the Dark Sect, and they were the spiritual leaders that all Dark Sect disciples revered and revered!
Any one of them represented a period of glory!
When Wang Baole's gaze landed on one of the statues, his body suddenly trembled, and he slowly walked over.
After looking at it for a long time, Wang Baole recognized its identity. Even though the statue no longer had a head, the clothes carved on it gave him a sense of familiarity.
"Master …" After a long while, Wang Baole muttered softly. There was an indescribable melancholy in his heart. He bowed deeply to the statue, and after a long time, he raised his head again and put the statue away in his storage bracelet.
Then, he looked at the center of the square in the middle of the statues. After thinking for a while, Wang Baole tried to walk over until he reached the center of the square. He stepped on the skull of the giant skeleton. Wang Baole silently sensed the Dark Sect's aura spreading out from here. He also sensed his own underworld flame, which was clearly raging and active.
"Something's not right here." After taking a few steps, Wang Baole stopped and looked down at his feet. Then, he took a few steps back and walked back to where he was standing.
"It's obvious that the underworld flame is the strongest at my feet!" After pondering for a while, his eyes flashed. He raised his hands and rapidly formed hand seals. The underworld flame in his body started to fluctuate more intensely. He chose to sit down cross-legged and close his eyes. He tried to fuse his consciousness with the underworld flame and fuse it with the skull.
However, just as his consciousness fused with the Dark Fire and fused with the skull beneath his feet, Wang Baole's body suddenly shuddered violently. He seemed to vaguely hear an ancient voice in his consciousness, in his soul, and in his consciousness.
"Soul leads, dream weaves, reincarnation severs, ten thousand tribulations, a thousand lives, five punishments!"
The voice seemed to have come from the passage of time. It was as if it had come from the world of death. As the voice reverberated in the air, Wang Baole's mind buzzed. Vaguely, he seemed to see six faint spheres of light.
"This is …"
In the next moment, Wang Baole's body shuddered, and his eyes opened abruptly. As he panted heavily, he lowered his head abruptly and looked at the skull beneath him. As the ancient words and the ball of light echoed in his mind, a glow gradually appeared in his eyes!
"Those six balls of light … are extremely similar to the Divine Consciousnesses that are required to refine Dharmic Armaments!" Wang Baole muttered. Based on his knowledge of Dharmic Armaments and his identity as a Netherworld Child, he could basically confirm that there were six weak remnant souls that were about to dissipate under the skull!
To be precise, these remnant souls were more like remnant consciousness. They were essentially the same as the Divine Consciousnesses required to refine Dharmic Armaments!
This discovery made Wang Baole's eyes light up. He spread out his consciousness and fused it with the underworld flame several times. After sensing it several times, he could basically confirm that there were indeed six dissipating Divine Consciousnesses in the skull. If this continued, they would completely dissipate and cease to exist in a few decades.
There were many ways to make them exist forever, but Wang Baole could only do one thing … and that was to fuse these six Divine Consciousnesses into the Dharmic Armaments and turn them into Artifact Souls!
This way, these six Divine Consciousnesses could be preserved to a certain extent!
