The evil clown, who was as tall as Gao Tianming, gave off a disgusting smell from head to toe. It had a blood-red nose, horrifying split lips, and even the moles at the corners of its eyes were like sharp blades that could cut a person's heart. It was as if it could instantly plunge a person into a terrifying atmosphere. Hanging from the puppet clown's head were four strings. These strings were none other than four pieces of intestines …
The scene looked a little disgusting, but it was in fact just a psychological effect caused by the Shadow Image. At the same time, it also proved that Gao Tianming had sunk too deep. Once his inner demon was activated, the dark side of his heart would directly reflect on the Shadow Image.
So, if the power of Shadow Dao was used normally, the Shadow Image would probably be something like a weapon spirit. It might not be as good-looking as Jingke or Mysterious Sea, but at the very least, it would be a humanoid creature that looked normal.
Wang Ling frowned at the horrifying scene in front of him. His first reaction after seeing this scene was to give the remaining packets of braised intestine-flavored crispy noodle snacks at home to the Heavenly Dao as an equivalent exchange.
After all, he was still a sixteen-year-old kid … it was inevitable that he would feel a little nauseous at this kind of scene.
So now, Wang Ling was doing his best not to throw up his churning stomach acid. If a drop fell to the ground, given his stomach acid's ability, it might directly burn a hole through the earth …
On the other side, looking at Wang Ling clutching his stomach, Gao Tianming thought that his threat was beginning to work. His Shadow Image was called "Puppet Clown," and it had the effect of creating illusions and fear in people's hearts. Once you fell into it, the more you looked at it, the more terrifying it would feel. He felt that it was already impressive that Wang Ling hadn't fainted on the spot.
"Student Wang Ling, stop struggling. I'll definitely turn you into my collection." Gao Tianming smiled sinisterly. With a thought, several large intestines flew out of the Puppet Clown's abdomen to wrap around Wang Ling's limbs. He wanted to drag Wang Ling into the Shadow Image world.
Tentacle play …
Wang Ling didn't like to play tentacles with a man.
He opened his King's Eye and stared at the large intestines flying toward him. As he stared, these "large intestines" actually slowed down midway.
This was the passive effect of the King's Eye: "Don't touch me." Once Wang Ling showed a look of resistance, these unknown creatures that tried to approach him would instantly turn to ashes if they still persisted.
Therefore, these large intestines instantly stopped after decelerating in mid-air.
Under Wang Ling's King's Eye, they didn't dare take half a step forward.
As a Shadow Image, the clown puppet was controlled by Gao Tianming's will, but it also had a certain level of intelligence and wouldn't do anything to harm itself. This was because once the Shadow Image appeared, it would be bound to the body of the original owner. Any damage the Shadow Image received would be reflected back to the original owner.
Gao Tianming was clearly surprised by the puppet's hesitation. He had never encountered such a situation before, and he couldn't imagine that his Shadow Image would actually be afraid.
Not only was it synchronized on the physical level, but it was also synchronized on the mental level!
At that moment, Gao Tianming could clearly sense that his clown puppet was trembling slightly with fear in its heart …
In the next moment, his King's Eye turned into a sharp sword that directly stabbed at the clown puppet!
He used his own force to tear open the crack leading to the Shadow Image World.
Wang Ling knew that a lot of people were still trapped in the Shadow Image's internal world. If he directly got rid of the clown puppet now, those people would die along with it.
At this point in the battle, Gao Tianming finally deeply felt that Wang Ling's strength was almost beyond his understanding. Previously, he had controlled the Shadow Image to swallow people, but this person in front of him … had forcibly used his own ability to tear open a crack like a roasted duck, and then stepped in!
It was when Wang Ling entered the Shadow Image World that Gao Tianming truly felt like he had a mental breakdown!
The so-called Shadow Image World was in fact a small world space constructed by the Shadow Image using its own mental energy. Now that Wang Ling had entered this small world, it was the same as forcibly stepping into this spiritual domain.
When this behemoth of energy suddenly poured into the spiritual world, Gao Tianming fell to his knees with a splitting headache!
He was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered as he curled up on the ground, clutching his head as his entire body twitched with a headache!
Wang Ling had forced his way in, which would definitely cause some damage to his mind. But in terms of Dao, this was also Gao Tianming's own doing … Who told him to turn so many people into puppets and put them into his sweatshop in the Shadow Image World?
In the puppet sweatshop, the people who had already been turned into collectibles toiled endlessly like machines. Strapped to their bodies, they carried one brick after another to where they needed to be built. They were both collectibles and cheap labor.
After entering the Shadow Image World, Wang Ling was even more aware of how terrifying the dark power in the depths of Gao Tianming's heart was. In this puppet factory, Wang Ling could sense a power that could make people lose themselves.
All the people who had been turned into puppets here had given up struggling and resisting, and their human thoughts would be extracted little by little. They would gradually forget their own names, forget the people around them, and then gradually lose all memories of being human … Most of the people who had been turned into puppets by Gao Tianming were Foundation Establishment students. Foundation Establishment cultivators had weaker minds and willpower, and were more likely to be assimilated by this spiritual world.
The most severely affected people had already completely lost themselves here.
Wang Ling spotted a familiar figure in the line of people carrying bricks in front of him, who was being whipped and tortured.
Everything was as Wang Ling had thought. He had sensed Wang Zhen's aura disappear earlier, and sure enough, it was because Gao Tianming had plotted against him, and he had been sucked into the Shadow Image World to become a puppet.
He saw Wang Zhen turn into a puppet on strings; it was as if he was being strung up by four uncontrollable steel wires, and his body was constantly working uncontrollably.
Wang Ling just stood at a distance and watched this scene. He didn't know if Wang Zhen had already been assimilated, or how much of his will he still had left.
But he saw that this man's eyes were different from those of the other puppets.
There was a resolute look in his eyes, as if he hadn't given up thinking about how to leave this place.
Until the moment when their gazes collided.
Wang Zhen's spirit was suddenly shaken, and he instantly became excited.
"Ling Zhenren!"
He shouted in his heart, completely believing that Wang Ling could hear his thoughts.
Wang Ling was about to praise Wang Zhen for actually not losing himself in such a terrifying Shadow Image World, when Wang Zhen unexpectedly said, "Ling Zhenren, you're finally here! I've been thinking about how to not lose myself in this space … so I deliberately acted lowly here and asked for a beating. The moment the whip hit me, I felt comfortable and remembered everything! "
Hearing this, Wang Ling slowly let out a "?"
Why did this guy sound like he was enjoying it?
