It didn't have the aura of a Divine Weapon, only a severed finger. And yet, the severed finger emanated a power that caused Wang Baole to feel suffocated. It was as if the finger only needed to press down on him, and he would be reduced to ash!
Wang Baole's heart pounded with fear, but at the same time, he was vexed. He sat down cross-legged and thought for a moment. Then, a grim look appeared in his eyes, and he opened up another opening to release his Lightning Clone.
This time, the moment his avatar entered the cylindrical cocoon, it charged forward. It did not go downwards like before, but changed its direction and charged forward. It moved as fast as it could toward the center of the purple liquid, and its movements were so great that the purple liquid in the cylindrical cocoon began to tumble around with it as the center.
The commotion quickly attracted the attention of the terrifying entity inside the cylindrical cicada pupa. Soon, more than ten beams of golden light shot out from within the cylindrical body.
"Its reaction speed isn't as sharp as I thought …." Wang Baole narrowed his eyes thoughtfully. The incoming beams of golden light locked onto Wang Baole's clone and instantly pierced through it. Before the clone died, Wang Baole used his Lightning Clone to see that the beams of golden light were actually severed limbs!
But without exception, they were all golden!
Clearly, they didn't come from the same body. After destroying Wang Baole's clone, the beams of golden light began to fade away. However, Wang Baole had been prepared for this. Without hesitation, he released his clone and sent it back into the cylindrical body.
"Let's try again," Wang Baole murmured to himself. "Let's see how fast these golden objects react!" He once again sent out his Divine Lightning Clone.
As soon as his Lightning Clone entered the cylindrical cicada pupa, its speed exploded, and it didn't change direction. It created a huge commotion as it shot toward the central region. Soon … the clone collapsed.
"These golden severed limbs don't have any intelligence," Wang Baole thought. "They only attack based on instinct …. Although they are powerful, they can still be used." He didn't stop there, but continued.
Just like that, once, twice, thrice, seven, eight, nine times …. Even with Wang Baole's Cultivation base, he had to consume a large number of medicinal pills to support the consumption of his Cultivation base. He continuously sent out dozens of clones, which he sent into the central region as if they were being sacrificed.
It was as if he had turned his clones into bait, which he constantly scattered in the same place. Gradually, the clones began to converge together!
Some sort of guidance was achieved, which caused even more golden objects to flow into the central region of the cylindrical body. After a long time, another clone was destroyed in the central region. Wang Baole's face was pale, and his body was almost completely drained. He once again formed his Lightning Clone. With a wave of his hand, he produced a flying sword, which he sent into the body of the Lightning Clone. This time, when the Lightning Clone entered the cylindrical cicada pupa, it didn't rush toward the central region. Instead, it changed direction and shot downward!
It was so fast that it instantly passed the deepest point his avatar had once sunk. At the same time, because most of the golden objects were gathered in the central region, Wang Baole's avatar had a much smoother time descending than before. It sank to an extremely deep level.
When the golden severed limbs noticed it, Wang Baole's clone had already passed through the second layer of the cylindrical body and arrived at an unknown region!
Through the cylindrical body's membrane, Wang Baole could vaguely see some light shining outside. He didn't have time to think too much about it. Just as the golden severed limbs in the purple liquid behind him were about to be destroyed, Wang Baole's Lightning Clone suddenly opened its mouth. Instantly, a red flying sword flew out from its body!
It was the fiercest of the tri-colored flying swords Wang Baole had, which were comparable to Rank-9 Flying Swords.
As soon as the sword flew out, with the support of the Lightning Clone, arcs of lightning appeared on the sword's body. With a burst of speed and power, the sword flew straight for the cylindrical body's membrane. In an instant, it pierced through the membrane. Even though the membrane was tough and had a strong regenerative ability, it still managed to pierce a small hole!
The hole was less than an inch wide. For the gigantic cylindrical body of the cocoon, it was too big to even describe it as insignificant. If it had been anyone else or a puppet, they wouldn't have been able to squeeze through such a small hole. However, the Lightning Clone was formed by lightning. As the flying sword pierced through the small hole, Wang Baole's clone didn't hesitate to transform into a bolt of lightning and squeeze through the hole in an instant!
However, the red flying sword couldn't get out. After Wang Baole's Lightning Clone rushed out of the cylindrical body, the hole instantly closed up, and the flying sword was trapped inside the cylindrical body.
Although Wang Baole was heartbroken at the loss of his sword, he didn't have time to think too much about it. At this moment, after his Lightning Clone squeezed out of the cylindrical body, he immediately looked around.
When he looked around, both his clone and his main body couldn't help but tremble and gasp!
The space under the second layer of the world couldn't be described as a world, because it wasn't that big. It was more like a gigantic karst cave!
At the top of the karst cave, the end of the gigantic cylindrical body of the cocoon was finally revealed. It didn't touch the ground, but hung in mid-air. It looked like the gigantic cocoon was embedded in the ground of the second layer of the world.
There were countless tentacles on the cocoon. Some were long, some were short, and some were swaying slowly like whiskers. What made Wang Baole feel strange was that at the end of each of the tentacles, there was a head!
There were men and women, old and young. It was as if their heads had been chopped off and grafted onto these tentacles. While it was shocking, it also made Wang Baole's breath freeze. After a closer look, he realized that these heads had their eyes closed. No matter how the tentacles swayed, they didn't wake up. Some of the tentacles even hung down and fell into the bottom of the cocoon, which was a lake on the ground of the karst cave!
This lake was golden. The golden lake water was calm and without waves, like a mirror. Only in the center of this lake, which was directly under the cocoon, was a figure sitting cross-legged there!
To be precise, this was the body of a Never-Ending Clan member. While it had three heads and six arms, it also gave off a sense of sturdiness. At the same time, there was a strong suppressive force that spread out from this body and enveloped the surroundings.
There was also a vast amount of spiritual power contained within the body. It was like an ocean, but there was a crack at the center of the body's eyebrows. The crack seemed to be healing continuously under the nourishment of the lake, but it kept tearing apart, making it difficult for the body to truly heal.
After seeing all this, Wang Baole's Lightning Clone's pupils constricted. He didn't dare to move. After standing there for a long time and seeing no changes, Wang Baole carefully looked at the body in the lake.
As he observed, Wang Baole slowly frowned. He tried to take a few steps forward to look at it from afar.
"There's no life, no death aura. It looks like a body of flesh and blood, but for some reason, it gives me the feeling that … it's like a Dharma treasure." Wang Baole couldn't explain his feelings at that moment. The more he looked, the more he felt that this body was more like … clothes!
Or rather … armor!
"At the same time, it's like … a Spirit Stone? Something that can store Spirit Qi? " Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. He wanted to enter the golden lake and take a closer look. At the same time, he prepared himself to immediately disintegrate his body and sever the connection with his main body if things went wrong.
And just as Wang Baole was about to rush in, suddenly … above him, one of the many tentacles connected to the head of an old man suddenly opened its eyes!
This old man had white hair and a face full of wrinkles. At that moment, as he opened his eyes, they were filled with confusion. At the same time, a hoarse voice came from his mouth.
"Save me … save me …"
When he heard this voice, Wang Baole's scalp felt like it was going to explode. He quickly retreated and looked up. His heart trembled again. The old man who had spoken was clearly dead. His eyes were filled with confusion and dullness, but his words echoed clearly. They even seemed to have some strange power that could penetrate the karst cave, the battleship, and reverberate in the world outside.
This was because Wang Baole was familiar with this voice. It was the voice that had come with the wind and echoed in the Dao Palace. In other words … it was the father that Feng Qiuran was looking for, Annihilator's Senior Uncle, and a former powerhouse of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace!
"With my strength, it's difficult to get out of this situation … I have to tell Elder Qiuran and the others about this as soon as possible!" Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. He didn't give up on searching for the Never-Ending Clan member's body. Instead, he planned to leave with his main body and search for Feng Qiuran and the others.
However, just as Wang Baole was about to take action, suddenly … the voice of Little Missy, who he hadn't heard from along the way, suddenly rang in his head!
"This is the … battle suit that controls this battleship!"
