The Leisurely Taoist at his peak, or more accurately, the Never-Ending Clan powerful being who had borrowed the body of the Leisurely Taoist, was clearly not at the Soul Conduit realm!
He was most likely a Spirit Immortal, or even a Planet realm cultivator. However, due to the battle back then, he was severely injured, and his recovery was slow. Hence, he could only display the power of a Soul Conduit realm cultivator.
It was also because of this that even though Wang Baole's Soul Yearning, Dream Winding, Ten Thousand Tribulations, and Thousand Lives had given him this nearly impossible opportunity, the Leisurely Taoist's instinctive resistance in the face of death was still not to be underestimated.
Seeing the struggle in the Leisurely Taoist's eyes as if he was about to awaken, Wang Baole's determination intensified. Not only did he not waver or think of retreating, but he also increased his speed and his aura. At the same time, the circulation of his cultivation increased again, almost as if his potential had been unleashed. Like a shooting star surrounded by lightning, he closed in on the Leisurely Taoist in an instant!
In the blink of an eye, Wang Baole and his flying sword closed in on the Leisurely Taoist. As his Flame Snatch Thearch Armor's skeletal arm landed on the Leisurely Taoist's head, the latter's head exploded!
As the explosion reverberated, Wang Baole's flying sword penetrated the dantian from the back of the Leisurely Taoist, causing a large amount of blood to splatter in all directions!
However, Wang Baole wasn't happy. Instead, his expression changed, and a strong sense of danger rose in his heart. It was as if all the cells in his body were screaming at him to retreat immediately. However, Wang Baole gritted his teeth and raised his Flame Snatch Thearch Armor's right hand again. His cultivation erupted once more as he prepared to deliver a second punch!
However, it was too late … In reality, Wang Baole's punch seemed to have landed on the Leisurely Taoist's head, but he knew very well that the Leisurely Taoist's head had exploded on its own at the moment his punch was just an inch away from landing!
Therefore, it wasn't him who had exploded, but Leisurely Taoist's self-destruction!
Clearly, at this critical juncture, Leisurely Taoist, who couldn't wake up in time, had chosen to self-destruct his physical body in order to resolve the crisis. More accurately, he had chosen to self-destruct the body of the Dao Palace that he was in!
Daoist You Ran had used the force of the explosion to forcefully defend himself against Wang Baole's punch. He had managed to avert some of the danger, but Wang Baole had still managed to injure Daoist You Ran. Daoist You Ran hadn't expected Wang Baole's flying sword to appear at such a critical moment. He hadn't expected a flying sword to emerge from the cocoon at such a critical moment.
Therefore … although he had self-destructed his physical body to resist Wang Baole's punch, the flying sword that had penetrated his dantian from behind had still injured the Leisurely Taoist.
However … although this injury wasn't light for the Leisurely Taoist, it was clearly not enough for Wang Baole. Just as the sense of crisis in his heart was about to erupt and he was about to brazenly throw another punch, three lumps of flesh appeared at the spot where the Leisurely Taoist's self-destructed head had exploded!
Of the three lumps of flesh, the left and right sides no longer had any facial features. It was as if all the flesh had been kneaded together. It was ugly and horrifying at the same time. As for the lumps of flesh in the middle, although they were slightly better, with a pair of eyes and a mouth that was devoid of skin and left only bones, they were even more ferocious.
This was where the Leisurely Taoist's real body was located. The moment the three lumps of flesh appeared, four additional arms appeared from the Leisurely Taoist's Dao Palace body. One of the arms moved at lightning speed and grabbed Wang Baole's flying sword, while the other arms formed hand seals and suddenly pressed down on Wang Baole!
The destructive power of the Soul Conduit realm cultivation suddenly rose in an instant, forming a storm that seemed to be able to shatter everything. It came crashing down on Wang Baole.
From afar, this storm looked like a round ball surrounded by black gas. In the blink of an eye, it expanded to the size of Wang Baole's Flame Snatch Thearch Armor, as if it was going to swallow him whole.
At this critical juncture, Wang Baole's mind buzzed. His mind was blank and he didn't dare to think. Because if he did, his instinct would tell him to immediately switch places with his doppelganger.
However, this would only delay the time of his death. This delay wouldn't last for long, at most a few dozen breaths. Once that happened, he would lose the chance to teleport away and Leisurely Taoist would be able to reverse his deviated plan.
Hence … Wang Baole's eyes were bloodshot. Even though the destructive storm was about to tear his Thearch Armor apart and his real body was about to explode from the intense pressure, he still roared angrily and used the mystic technique that would deplete his body!
This mystic technique was the reverse absorption of all the spirit fat in his body. If it had been any other time, Wang Baole wouldn't have used it twice in such a short period of time. However, he couldn't care less now. As he roared angrily, all the fat in his body was trembling. In the blink of an eye, almost all the spirit fat in his body disappeared as if it had been burned. It exploded from his body and fused with his Thearch Armor. At the same time, he retracted his fist and raised his other arm to block the attack!
Almost at the instant he blocked the attack, the storm formed by the black fog surged forward like a raging wave crashing against the shore. It crashed through Wang Baole's body, and the power that could topple mountains and overturn seas erupted. More cracks appeared on Wang Baole's Thearch Armor. It lasted for about a breath before Wang Baole's Thearch Armor shattered. The inner armor on Wang Baole's body also exploded. Blood gushed out of his mouth as his body tumbled backwards. However … he managed to block the attack!
Although more than half of his Thearch Armor had shattered, his inner armor was completely destroyed, and his body was severely injured, Wang Baole's mystic technique allowed him to unleash his spirit energy. On the other hand, he had the power of the Thearch Armor's right arm. In addition, the Leisurely Taoist had also been injured by the flying sword. His hasty counterattack hadn't reached his full strength.
All of these factors allowed Wang Baole to fly backwards and land near the center of the lake. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, but he hadn't been killed. However, he had clearly lost the ability to continue fighting. The only choice before him was to switch places with his clone and struggle at death's door!
After all, the difference between them was too great. The fact that Wang Baole had been able to hold on until now, even forcing Leisurely Taoist Palace's body to self-destruct, and even being injured by the flying sword … If news of this spread, people would be shocked beyond belief!
That was why the Leisurely Taoist was so furious that he almost lost his rationality. He couldn't believe that Wang Baole had ruined his plan, that the Death Dao Battle Armor had absorbed two of his arms, that his Dao Palace's body had been destroyed, and that he had been injured. All of this cleared the mind of the Leisurely Taoist. The fury in his eyes seemed to solidify. He roared and reached for Wang Baole.
"Wang Baole, I won't let you die so easily. I'm going to extract your soul and let you witness the destruction of your lowly civilization with your own eyes. I'm going to …" Daoist You Ran reached out and grabbed Wang Baole. It was then that Wang Baole, who was still panting and bleeding uncontrollably from the corner of his mouth, suddenly spoke in a shrill voice.
"How dare you kill me!"
"My senior brother is the first Divine King of the Never-Ending Clan, Chen Qing. I am his only junior brother. If you dare to kill me, my senior brother will not let you go. You will die no matter where you go!"
Wang Baole's voice was shrill. He didn't even need to think about it. He didn't even need to think about the second and third generation descendants he had killed who had threatened him like this before they died. It was as if he had such an instinct in his bones. At that moment, his words didn't seem to contradict him at all. Instead, they were extremely smooth.
"Leisurely, I came here for the bullsh * t training that my senior brother was talking about. F * ck, I have the status and background to crush you, but you beat me up. F * ck, I don't want to play anymore. I, the junior brother of a Divine King, came here to fight to the death with you!"
