As Shi Lingzi admitted defeat, his figure disappeared from the arena. Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and looked outside. At first glance, he seemed to be watching the battle between Yue Lingzi and Yin Xi.
However, in reality, he was rapidly analyzing the pros and cons of participating in this trial. After confirming his choice once again, the light in the depths of his eyes became even more resolute.
"Be it Shi Lingzi or Bai Jia, they obviously don't want to be first. If I didn't appear this time, I'm afraid they would use a similar method to make themselves fail."
"But compared to them, Yue Lingzi and Yin Xi … these two seem to be determined to be first." Wang Baole stood in the arena and looked through the bubble he was in to see the battle between Yin Xi and Yue Lingzi.
Although he couldn't hear the sound, from the fluctuations of the battle between the two, he could see that although they didn't give it their all, the determination in their eyes was getting stronger and stronger.
It seemed that another battle between them was carried out through sound transmission. They were obviously attacking and talking at the same time.
Although Wang Baole couldn't hear the content of their conversation, he could roughly guess that they were trying to persuade the other party not to compete with them for first place.
"It's impossible that these two don't know the consequences of being first place, but … they still do it." Wang Baole's eyes were complicated as he watched silently.
While he was serious, the cultivators of the three sects outside had strange looks on their faces, but they didn't talk to each other. They felt that something was wrong when Shi Lingzi admitted defeat first.
But this wasn't important. They couldn't figure out what the truth was, so most of them felt that it was just Shi Lingzi's personal behavior. Soon, everyone's eyes gathered on Yin Xi and Yue Lingzi.
The battle between the two of them became more and more intense. The shadows formed by the music spread in all directions. Even if no sound could be heard, their increasing speed and the bubble ripples caused by the collision of their music were enough to prove that the battle between the two of them was developing towards an extreme.
In fact, it was indeed so. At this moment, Yin Xi was staring at Yue Lingzi. With a wave of his hand, a sound of nature burst out, and in his mind, he sent out a message.
"Moon Spirit, why are you fighting with me for this right?!"
"Eldest Senior Brother, according to the rotation, this time … I should have been the one to become Master's incarnation." Yue Lingzi pursed his lips, a determined look in his eyes.
Yin Xi was silent for a moment, but then his eyes suddenly shone with an intense light. He lifted his right hand, and the magical law of hearing exploded out within him. In the blink of an eye, it reached a shocking level. It even affected the volcanoes of the three sects, causing everyone to go deaf.
In the next instant, countless musical notes emerged from Yin Xi's body and gathered in front of him to form a gigantic finger. It was illusory, as if it existed between reality and illusion, as if it didn't belong to this world, but also seemed to be partially fused with the mysterious World of Hearing. It radiated with an indescribable pressure that rumbled toward Yue Lingzi.
Its speed and power caused Yue Lingzi's face to fall. Although she wasn't ordinary, there was still a gap between her and Yin Xi. That was especially the case since … Yin Xi was clearly using a trump card that required an extremely high price. Therefore, Yue Lingzi's eyes shone with grief and unwillingness ….
However, there was no way for her to dodge. In the blink of an eye, the finger slammed into her, sending her tumbling backward into the wall of the bubble.
A boom rang out, and the bubble collapsed. Blood sprayed from Yue Lingzi's mouth as she was sent flying backward.
The eyes of the disciples of the three sects went wide, and their minds spun. However, not a sound could be heard from their mouths!
Wang Baole's pupils constricted as he stared at Yin Xi. At the same time, he was also looking at the finger hovering in front of Yin Xi, which had yet to dissipate.
The finger emanated an intense light. However, if one looked closely, they would be able to see that it was composed entirely of musical notes. Furthermore, each and every one of those notes was not a musical note, but rather, the sound of all living things.
The innumerable sounds of all living things formed the finger. It didn't matter what the sound itself was. What was important … was that in some sense, it had already become a key.
A key … that could open the World of Hearing, and release a portion of its power!
With this key, and with this identity, one could basically be said to have an absolute position within the magical laws of hearing. Other than the Lord of Desire, no one could possibly be stronger than that person!
Unless … there was someone like Wang Baole, who could enter the World of Hearing without any hindrance.
He didn't need such a key, because he was already a part of the World of Hearing.
More accurately speaking, the path that this person was walking was actually the same as his. The only difference was that the former had merged all the sounds of all living things into one, whereas Wang Baole had merged all the sounds of all living things into one.
There wasn't much of a difference. The end of the path was the same. However, Wang Baole had reached the end of the path, whereas Yin Xi had just begun to walk it.
"If you give this person enough time, he … might be able to do the same thing as me." A strange light shone in Wang Baole's eyes as he looked at Yin Xi. Yin Xi, who had just shattered his bubble, turned his head to look at Wang Baole, his face expressionless.
Their gazes met in an instant.
A moment later, Yin Xi's body flickered. He transformed into a blur that shot toward Wang Baole's bubble. As he neared, he smashed his way through the bubble and appeared inside of the arena!
As soon as the bubble was torn open, it was as if some external force had poured into it. In the blink of an eye, it began to heal. Light flowed out in all directions, making it even more solid.
In the outside world, the disciples of the three Sects were panting as they stared unblinkingly at the two people standing inside of the arena bubble!
This was … the final battle.
The victor would become the fourth Legacy Apprentice of the Lord of Desire. Up until now, the Lord of Desire had only accepted three Legacy Apprentices. Although those three had become legends, and in order to gain enlightenment of the Great Dao of Hearing and Desire, they had gone into life-or-death seclusion. No one had ever seen them, but their stories were still being passed down.
Many people believed that one day, those three Legacy Apprentices would emerge from seclusion and appear in the world.
Even as all eyes were fixed on the arena bubble, Yin Xi suddenly transmitted a message to Wang Baole via Divine Will.
"You're too late."
The instant the message entered Wang Baole's mind, he couldn't help but stare in shock. However, before he could respond, Yin Xi said nothing more. Instead, his body flickered as he transformed into a beam of light that merged with the finger in front of him. Then, he shot toward Wang Baole.
His aura was shocking, and seemed capable of destroying everything in its path!
