There was no roar, no response. There were only two balls of red light that slowly lit up in the pitch-black cave. They were … the Night Immortal King's eyes!
There was a tinge of black in the red, but it was not as clear as the purple. Instead, it gave off a turbid feeling. Not only did it lack intelligence, but it also exuded the ferocity of a wild beast. It stared at Wang Baole as if there was something about Wang Baole that it was obsessed with.
Wang Baole's expression was calm. He lowered his head and looked into the Night Immortal King's eyes. One man and one corpse stood outside the cave, while the other hid in the cave, looking at each other from afar.
If all of this could be drawn into a picture, it would definitely be filled with a sense of mystery!
Time passed slowly, and the time it took for a stick of incense to burn passed quickly. As the moon's propulsion system was activated, the tremors of the moon's tremors spread across a wider area. All of this made the Night Immortal King restless, and Wang Baole's appearance seemed to have made him even more agitated. As he stared at Wang Baole and breathed heavily, he slowly let out a threatening growl.
Wang Baole stared into the Night Immortal King's eyes and heard the other party's threatening growl. At the same time, he felt that the Night Immortal King's body seemed to contain waves of cultivation from when he was alive. These waves of cultivation … Wang Baole judged that they belonged to the Soul Conduit realm.
It was obvious that the Night Immortal King had no intelligence and only had his instincts. Even if he were to awaken, he would not be able to unleash the combat power of a Soul Conduit realm cultivator before he was born. Therefore, even though his previous two awakenings had caused certain disasters, they were all under control and did not cause too much damage. Perhaps this had something to do with the fact that the chains on the Night Immortal King's body restricted his movements.
"Still, I'm a little disappointed." Wang Baole sighed. He felt that his aptitude must be too good. Otherwise, he would not have trembled in fear when he saw the Night Immortal King a few years ago. But now, he felt like he could suppress the Night Immortal King.
"But it's still considered a combat power." Wang Baole shook his head slightly. Disappointed, he stepped into the Catacombs in front of him and headed straight for the depths of the Catacombs. The moment he entered the Catacombs, the Night Immortal King's eyes shone with savagery. He roared at the sky, stirring up a strong gust of wind. He raised his right hand and tried to grab Wang Baole.
The Night Immortal King's body was gigantic. He was about the size of a finger and was about the size of Wang Baole's body. He closed in on Wang Baole in an instant and was about to grab him. However, Wang Baole teleported and disappeared in an instant. He dodged the gigantic hand and appeared in the depths of the cave, where he saw the Night Immortal King's gigantic body.
The green marks that appeared all over his body, as well as the barbaric aura that emanated from his body, formed an impact that would cause most Yuanying cultivators to tremble in fear. However, Wang Baole was clearly not one of them.
Wang Baole had the Thearch Armor, the characteristics of the constellation Yuanying, and the strange Eye of the Nether Demon. It was not difficult for him to kill Soul Conduit realm cultivators, let alone the corpse of the Night Immortal King.
After dodging the Night Immortal King's gigantic hand, Wang Baole closed in on the Night Immortal King. His target was not the Night Immortal King himself, but the nine iron chains on his body. After all, the origin of the iron chains was unknown. According to the Federation's records, the iron chains seemed to have existed when the Night Immortal King fell. They were integrated into the moon and bound the Night Immortal King.
The iron chains that could integrate into a planet were extraordinary in terms of material and power. In Wang Baole's opinion, if he could take them down and refine them, they might be a treasure that could affect even the Leisurely Taoist.
Hence, with a sway of his body, Wang Baole dodged the Night Immortal King's furious hand and appeared behind the Night Immortal King. He was less than a hundred feet away from the iron chains. He took a closer look.
However, Wang Baole's pupils shrank when he took a closer look. In that instant, his mind rumbled, causing his breathing to stagnate. At the same time, overlapping images of his body appeared. His doppelganger took a step forward and headed straight for the iron chains. The moment it came into contact with the iron chains, a large amount of red lightning exploded from the chains. These lightning bolts seemed to have a mind of their own. They spread to the sides of Wang Baole's doppelganger and exploded. Even with the strength of Wang Baole's doppelganger, it trembled uncontrollably and even showed signs of withering.
These signs were very obvious and did not stop. Even though Wang Baole's doppelganger retreated with all his might and finally escaped the range of the lightning bolts, by the time he returned to Wang Baole's side, his hair was already white, and his body was old and wrinkled. It was as if his vitality had collapsed, and time had passed in an instant.
This scene made Wang Baole suck in a breath of air. The waves in his mind were even greater. Indeed … while the iron chains' power was strange, they also gave him a sense of familiarity!
"Inside the Never-Ending Clan battleship, those terrifying beasts were restrained and made them pull the giant millstone wood chains!" Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and stared at the iron chains. Then, he turned his head abruptly. When he looked at the Night Immortal King, there was a serious look in his eyes.
"For someone to be restrained by such an iron chain, his cultivation level can't be at the Conduit realm. I must have missed something!" Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. In a flash, he circled around the Night Immortal King's body and examined it carefully. Very quickly, he found three places on the Night Immortal King's body that had already healed, leaving only scars. Moreover, the flesh and blood had regenerated, making them difficult to notice.
One was at the back of the head, one was at the precordium, and one was at the dantian!
Although there were many scars on these three places, only these three places gave Wang Baole a different kind of shock when he examined them carefully.
"These three wounds don't look like he was attacked in an intense battle … It looks more like he was cut open by someone's bare hands when he was unable to resist!" Wang Baole's expression was ugly. Perhaps other people would not be able to see the problem when they saw these three wounds, but Wang Baole was different. These three wounds reminded him of the time when he was on the moon and his Dao foundation was dug out.
Although they were not exactly the same, they were similar. They were all wounds caused by something being taken out of his body!
"Taking his brain, digging out his heart, and destroying his Dao. What a ruthless method. How much hatred does this person have?" Wang Baole muttered to himself. His instincts told him that this was more like an evil method of plundering. When he looked at the Night Immortal King, he could not help but feel a deep sense of pity. At the same time, he understood that the Night Immortal King's cultivation level when he was alive must have been extremely shocking. Even after his heart, brain, and Dao foundation were taken away, he still had the combat strength of a Conduit realm cultivator!
"And that's not all. After taking his brain, digging out his heart, and destroying his Dao, he even used this corrosive iron chain to bind the Night Immortal King and implant it into his body, making it impossible for the Night Immortal King to recover by himself. This is very strange. Why would someone do this to a dead person? Could it be that the Night Immortal King is not dead?" When Wang Baole thought of this, his eyes widened. His breathing quickened as he observed the Night Immortal King again. Gradually, he realized that the green mark on the Night Immortal King's body … was actually a type of curse!
"There's only one answer. The person who dug out his heart and brain couldn't destroy the Night Immortal King due to some special reason. They were also worried that the Night Immortal King would recover, so they used all these methods … But the Night Immortal King's current state doesn't make sense …" Wang Baole frowned. After a while, his eyes shone brightly. After dodging the Night Immortal King's roaring claws, he took a few steps back and muttered softly.
"Fine, Night Immortal King. Let me see if you still have a spirit!" As he spoke, Wang Baole's eyes suddenly turned pitch black. At this moment, the Dark Art suddenly erupted along with the spread of the Dark Fire. Even the Dark Demonic Eye behind him appeared amidst the fluctuations of the Dark Art. It cooperated with Wang Baole's Dark Art and opened its eyes to stare at the Night Immortal King.
The Night Immortal King, who was in a state of rage, suddenly trembled. The moment his body trembled, Wang Baole, who was surrounded by Dark Fire and had transformed into a ferryman of souls, saw through the curse on the Night Immortal King's body. He saw that there was a strand of turbid spirit in the Night Immortal King's body!
It was ferocious, primitive, and had no intelligence. It only had the instincts of a wild beast. This was the spirit that Wang Baole saw!
"This spirit belongs to a newborn. It's not the Night Immortal King's true spirit!" It was difficult for outsiders to see this. However, as a Dark Child, Wang Baole had used the Dark Art left behind by the previous Heavenly Dao Era to make his spirit extraordinary.
After muttering to himself for a while, Wang Baole, who was somewhat unwilling to give up, closed his eyes and formed seals with his hands again. He even bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood. He raised his right hand and waved it, activating the Dark Fire in his body and causing it to erupt violently for a short period of time. With the help of this eruption, Wang Baole opened his eyes abruptly. When he looked at the Night Immortal King, he finally saw that there was still a strand of spirit hidden in his body … that was extremely difficult to detect apart from the Dark Art!
The moment he saw this strand of spirit, he also felt the whisper-like fluctuations coming from it!
"Zi Yue, my wife, why … did you do this …?"
