The pressure was so intense that even Wang Baole, who was within the smoke, could sense it. It was as if, in his eyes, the corpse was a terrifying gaping maw that was about to swallow him whole.
Before Wang Baole had reached the Yuanying stage, he hadn't sensed it as intensely. Back then, he had only been passing by. But now, things were different. On the one hand, he was hovering in midair. On the other hand, his Cultivation base had increased, and his Spiritual Perception was much sharper. That was why he could sense it more clearly.
"What an intense sense of danger …." thought Wang Baole. He hesitated for a moment, but when he thought about the good fortune he had obtained in the third temple, he gritted his teeth.
"For the sake of good fortune," murmured Wang Baole, his eyes shining with a fierce light. "It's not impossible to risk your life for the sake of good fortune. But at the very least, you need to be confident that you'll be able to escape unscathed."
"Enlightened …."
As soon as the word left his mouth, a pressure that seemed to originate from the depths of the starry sky descended. The aura emanating from the corpse suddenly faltered, and Wang Baole breathed a sigh of relief.
"I thought it wouldn't work, but it turns out it still works …." Wang Baole looked up into the sky with a bit of a guilty conscience. Then he put the Daoist Scripture away, performed an incantation gesture, and left the smoke. He was just about to perform minor teleportation toward the corpse in the sea of blood when, in the instant that he stepped out of the smoke, the corpse suddenly trembled!
Countless strands of hair suddenly appeared on the exposed parts of the corpse's body, as well as the parts under its tattered garments. These strands of hair were the corpse's fine hairs. Although it had perished, the hair had not withered away. Instead, under the influence of some strange state, it had mutated and survived, as if it had gained sentience.
At this moment, these hairs were dark green in color, and each one was as thick as an arm. They grew in the blink of an eye, and the ends of the hairs split open to form large mouths. They actually turned into green snakes that were connected to the corpse!
As far as the eye could see, the Green Snakes were innumerable. They were so densely packed together that it was quite a sight to behold. As all of the Green Snakes looked toward Wang Baole, an even stronger sense of crisis than before washed over Wang Baole's mind like a tidal wave. His flesh and blood began to tremble, as if every cell in his body were screaming. Even the Yuanying inside of Wang Baole opened her eyes, which shone brightly.
Almost as soon as Wang Baole's Yuanying opened her eyes, the Green Snakes began to roar. Hundreds of them exploded into green blurs that shot toward Wang Baole to consume him.
From a distance, they looked like hundreds of arrows that had been shot from a bow. At the same time, there were even more green snakes that roared as they followed suit. Even further away, there were dozens of green pythons that were clearly much larger. They tore through the tattered Daoist robes, looking extremely ferocious and ferocious.
In this moment of crisis, Wang Baole's eyes glittered. He lifted his right hand and pushed it down.
"Enlightened …."
Instantly, the pressure that seemed to originate from the depths of the starry sky descended once again, enveloping the entire area. In the blink of an eye, the Green Snakes began to shriek and fall back. They lay down on the corpse, trembling, not daring to move.
Seeing that it was working, Wang Baole's spirits were lifted. Without hesitation, he performed minor teleportation. He shot through the air toward the corpse, where the identity medallion hung. In order to prevent any mishaps, he once again roared.
"Imprison the Dao of the Heavens …."
The soundless roar seemed to explode into the minds of the Green Snakes. Many of the Green Snakes on the corpse began to wither. Some of them were so frightened that they began to foam at the mouth. Even the larger ones off in the distance were trembling and didn't dare to get any closer. There was no need to even mention the area where Wang Baole was standing. The Green Snakes in the area immediately retreated, leaving Wang Baole alone.
Wang Baole knew that this was not a good place to be. Furthermore, using the Daoist Scripture over and over again left him feeling a bit guilty. Without the slightest hesitation, he roared out the second line of the Daoist Scripture. Then he squatted down and reached out to grab the identity medallion hanging from the corpse.
The corpse was enormous, and the identity medallion seemed to possess some strange properties. It was enormous, and yet, as soon as it touched Wang Baole, it began to shine brightly, as if in agreement with Wang Baole's teachings. It began to shrink rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it was only about the size of a hand. Wang Baole grabbed it, and without even looking at it, put it into his bag of holding.
All of this happened quickly, but Wang Baole was still panting. That was especially true when he realized that the sense of crisis in his heart hadn't disappeared with the arrival of the Daoist Scripture and the trembling of the Green Snakes. In fact, it had only grown stronger. Wang Baole was just about to leave when he looked down at the corpse's skin. Suddenly, he clenched his teeth.
"It's not easy to come here," he thought. "Since I'm already here … maybe the identity medallion isn't enough …. It would be best if there was some blood …." Although he knew that the corpse was already dead, and that it was unlikely that there would be any blood, Wang Baole still felt a bit lucky. Therefore, he lifted both hands up.
His left hand reached out toward the sea of blood, and his right hand flashed with an incantation gesture to summon the incomplete Flame Snatch magic. The severed Divine Weapon arm appeared. Wrapped around by the Flame Snatch's Qi passageways, the Divine Weapon arm shot toward the corpse's skin.
Amidst a loud boom, a fist-sized drop of Blood Sea liquid flew towards Wang Baole. He grabbed it with his left hand, and the broken Divine Armament arm wrapped around the meridians in his right hand landed on the corpse's skin.
Despite having a Divine Weapon, and having made a breakthrough in Cultivation base, the corpse was still incredibly powerful. Even after death, the corpse's skin was still as hard as ever. Wang Baole used all of his power, but all he could do was break the skin open, much less extract blood.
Unless he used all of his power multiple times, and spent a bit of time, he might be able to break the skin open. However, there wasn't enough time. Ripples could be seen on the surface of the Blood Sea, as if something were approaching at top speed. As it got closer, the sense of crisis in Wang Baole's heart grew more intense.
That made Wang Baole a little anxious. He raised his head and looked to his left and right, his gaze sweeping quickly. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and with a shake of his body, he teleported. When he reappeared, he was already thousands of feet away in another area. He was at the chest of the corpse, and there was a huge wound that seemed to have been a fatal wound. It was a shocking sight to Wang Baole.
He didn't stop. As soon as he appeared, he squatted down and pressed his right hand against the wound. His eyes shined with a strange light, and his Nascent Soul did the same. He formed a seal and his devouring seed erupted. A shocking suction force erupted from his arm.
The suction force was so strong that it spread from Wang Baole's palm and traveled down the corpse's wound. Soon, Wang Baole could vaguely feel tiny wisps of blood condensing into beads under the suction force.
However, at that moment, as Wang Baole continued to absorb, the corpse began to tremble, and all the green snakes began to move restlessly. The surrounding Blood Sea also began to churn violently from its initial state of ripples. It was as if something within it had become enraged.
In the next instant, the sea of blood erupted and soared into the sky. Two gigantic wings that looked like those of a cicada pierced through the surface of the sea of blood, revealing half of them. From afar, they looked like two slanted banners. The patterns on them were like runes, but they also looked like ghosts that had been sealed within them. They were twisted and ferocious, spreading an incomparably evil will. At the same time, two gigantic bulging eyes appeared in the area between the two wings in the sea of blood.
The moment the strange existence appeared, an intense, indescribable sense of crisis overturned Wang Baole's heart. Amidst his shock, a savage look appeared in Wang Baole's eyes. The devouring seed in his right hand continued to absorb, and he lifted his left hand and pointed at the Blood Sea not too far away.
"All living beings must cross the Infinite Tribulation!"
Boom!
The suppression was even stronger than before. Wang Baole had used the Dao Scripture many times. He knew that the more he recited, the stronger the terrifying suppression would become. However, he was worried that something would happen, so he only recited one or two lines. He didn't dare to recite the rest. Now, he was forced into a corner, so he opened his mouth.
As the Dao Scripture appeared and the suppression increased, the existence that was about to charge out of the Blood Sea seemed to be pressed down by an invisible hand. Its body trembled, and it didn't continue to charge out for a while.
Using this time, the devouring seed in Wang Baole's right hand was finally completed. A drop of dark red blood, surrounded by blood threads, slowly appeared in Wang Baole's palm!
The moment the blood drop appeared, the existence in the Blood Sea seemed to be greatly stimulated. It roared and charged out. In an instant, the Blood Sea exploded, and a gigantic figure appeared above the Blood Sea.
The figure … looked like a dragonfly that had been magnified many times. It was completely blood-red and looked extremely ferocious!
Its bulging eyes were filled with savagery and madness as it looked directly at Wang Baole!
