The moment the blood-colored dragonfly appeared, Wang Baole's pupils constricted. Without any hesitation, he grabbed the drop of dark red blood and teleported away.
The moment his silhouette disappeared, two red wind blades appeared out of thin air where Wang Baole had just been. They crisscrossed and whizzed past, slicing through space. From afar, it was as if a blood-colored cross-shaped mouth had appeared in mid-air.
The sight sent chills down Wang Baole's spine as he hovered in mid-air. He could feel waves of aura emanating from the blood-colored dragonfly that surpassed the Nascent Soul realm and was clearly at the Soul Conduit realm or even higher.
"Such a big dragonfly!" There was no time to think too much. The moment the blood-colored dragonfly unleashed its wind blades, its body flew out of the Blood Sea with a loud boom. It was unclear whether it was its mouthpart or its wings that let out a roar that reverberated in the air, and the blood-colored dragonfly headed straight for Wang Baole.
It was so fast that it was right in front of Wang Baole in an instant. It wanted to tear him apart and swallow him whole. If it had been before the Yuanying, Wang Baole wouldn't have been able to dodge. He wouldn't even have been able to see the speed of the dragonfly. He would have died without a doubt. But now, with the help of the stars' Yuanying, even though the sun wasn't a star and couldn't support Wang Baole, his cultivation base had improved significantly. So he dodged once again.
However, there was still a gap between them. Although he had dodged the attack, a strand of Wang Baole's hair was still brushed by it. It drifted away with the wind.
This made Wang Baole's heart beat faster. After the figure appeared, he raised his right hand and quickly chanted in his heart at the blood-colored dragonfly that was about to charge at him again.
"Leaving the Deep Prison with a Thought!"
The fourth line of the Dao Scripture!
However, the words that Wang Baole shouted out were something else.
"Evil creature, how dare you!"
As soon as the words came out, the heavens and earth roared. The will that seemed to come from the depths of the universe came crashing down again. This time, it was clearly stronger than before. While it suppressed the surroundings, it was like a giant invisible hand that came from the heavens and pressed down on the blood-colored dragonfly that was charging at Wang Baole.
It didn't have a physical form, but the blood-colored dragonfly let out a cry of terror and retreated like a bird startled by the twang of a bow. Seeing that the suppression was effective, Wang Baole understood the danger he was in. He was in a situation where every second counted. Therefore, with a flick of his body, he teleported again. When he appeared, he was already further away. He unleashed his full speed and was about to fly out of the blood sea.
Sensing that Wang Baole was about to leave, the blood-colored dragonfly instantly grew agitated. A ferocious look appeared in its eyes as it flapped its wings furiously. It didn't know what it was thinking, but it roared again and flapped its wings fiercely. It actually managed to resist the pressure caused by the fear in its heart and gave chase to Wang Baole again.
"Why are you so stubborn?!" Wang Baole was getting anxious, but he didn't have time to think too much. Wang Baole suddenly turned his head. He didn't have time to pretend that he didn't mean what he said. In his anxiety, he roared.
"Honored …."
That was the last sentence of the first paragraph of the Daoist Scripture. There were five words in total. Wang Baole had only said two words. As for the last three words … he also wanted to say them, but the moment he opened his mouth, he inexplicably trembled and didn't dare to say them.
Even though he had only said two words in the last sentence, the aura that had awakened from the depths of the starry sky was far stronger than it had been before. It came crashing down with the force of toppling mountains and overturning seas. It was as if it could suppress ten thousand worlds, causing the entire area to tremble violently.
As for the blood-colored dragonfly that had rushed out to devour him, it instantly let out a pained cry under this even more powerful pressure, or rather, intimidation. It quickly retreated, turning into a bloody shadow that stirred up a splash and returned to the Blood Sea.
In the Blood Sea, its body trembled, causing a large number of ripples to spread out. Its bulging eyes peeked out from the surface of the water, and it stared at Wang Baole with fear.
Wang Baole's heart was pounding. Since there were no outsiders around, there was no need for him to continue pretending to be an expert. Therefore, he didn't hesitate to unleash his full speed as the blood-colored dragonfly retreated. With a boom, he shot into the distance.
The blood-colored dragonfly seemed to struggle for a moment, but in the end, the fear in its eyes refused to disappear. It could only watch as Wang Baole slowly disappeared from its sight. It gave up on chasing after him.
After a long time, when the world returned to normal, the blood-colored dragonfly flew out of the water and circled around the corpse. It let out a hiss, then flapped its wings in a frenzy, as if venting its anger. Spatial rifts spread out in all directions, causing the green snakes on the corpse to tremble. However, the dragonfly didn't seem to be satisfied. It flapped its wings, causing the sea of blood to churn. A large amount of blood water rose up, wriggling in the air for a moment before transforming into a figure.
The figure formed by the Blood Sea was completely red, but it was obvious that it looked exactly like Wang Baole.
The moment it saw the blood-colored figure, the dragonfly let out a hiss. It closed in on the figure and sliced off its arms and legs with its wings. Then it opened its mouth wide and bit off half of the figure's body. After that, it tormented the figure until it was completely pulverized. Only then did the dragonfly let out a few grunts, then conjured a few more figures of Wang Baole. After venting its anger, it returned to the Blood Sea with satisfaction and disappeared.
Wang Baole didn't see this. Otherwise, he would have felt a chill in his heart, and wouldn't have dared to provoke the vengeful and stingy blood-colored dragonfly again.
Right now, Wang Baole had found an Immortal Platform amidst his numerous teleportations. With the help of the Flying Smoke, he returned to the sword tip.
This might have been difficult for anyone else, but for Wang Baole, he had mastered the method to control the Immortal Dais, and had returned from the sword tip. He knew the safe route, so it didn't take long for him to return to the ice plains where the three great palaces were located.
Wang Baole stood in front of the third great palace, looking at the layer of ice in front of him. He was filled with anticipation. He didn't need to guess; he could tell that the good fortune in the third great palace would be greater than the previous two. Without any hesitation, Wang Baole took a deep breath, then lifted his right hand and pulled out the command medallion.
"Open for me!"
He said. As his words echoed out, the third great palace began to rumble. An invisible force seemed to spread out, responding to the command medallion in Wang Baole's hand. Even the layer of ice outside the great palace began to tremble, as if it were about to shatter.
Wang Baole grew excited. However, after waiting for a while, he realized that the third great palace didn't show any other reaction. The layer of ice only trembled, but didn't shatter. It was as if … it was still missing something.
Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and performed an incantation gesture with his left hand. Instantly, the Flame Snatch began to rotate. Although it had recovered somewhat after the self-detonation, it was still only at the first level.
Even so, it was enough.
The illusory meridians danced in the air and spread throughout Wang Baole's body, starting from his left hand. Soon, Zhu Duo's red silhouette enveloped Wang Baole's entire body. Then, Wang Baole took a deep breath and pulled out the drop of dark red blood that he had obtained from Zhu Duo.
As soon as he did, the third great palace began to tremble even more violently. Wang Baole's eyes shone brightly as he controlled the Flame Snatch to absorb the drop of blood. As it slowly merged with the Flame Snatch, Wang Baole poured all of his power into it. Instantly, the aura of the blood's owner began to emanate out. Seeing this, Wang Baole lifted the command medallion high above his head and roared.
"OPEN FOR ME!!"
As his words reverberated in the air, a thunderous boom erupted from the third palace hall. The layer of ice on the outside shattered instantly and fell off amidst loud booms. A vast consciousness spread out from within the third palace hall and enveloped Wang Baole instantly. It was as if it was verifying Wang Baole's identity. After a few moments of nervousness, the consciousness transformed into a voice that reverberated in the air.
"Elder Cloudcrest, you meet the requirements of the legacy of the Dao Palace. You may open the third great palace and acquire good fortune!"
His words were like heavenly thunder that echoed across the world. The door of the third palace opened with a loud rumble, revealing a mysterious place inside!
Wang Baole was incomparably excited. After experiencing the first and second great palaces, he had some experience. Therefore, his body flickered as he stepped through the door.
In the blink of an eye, he was inside!
