A World Worth Protecting

1

This feeling made him feel extremely uncomfortable. He thought that there was something sinister with this fella, but guessed that was all. He could still manage to bear with it. Therefore, he snorted and pretended to disregard the embarrassment, about to speak again.

However, before he could say anything, a flash appeared across Wang Baole’s eyes as he spoke.

“Senior, you don’t have to go through the trouble of tearing everything open. If you want to see what is going on, let me help you. I’ll display all my internal worlds in front of you!”

Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. He had already made some guesses previously, and he vaguely realized that the place that he, Zhao Yameng, and Zhuo Yifan were moved to, the place filled with countless figures, was the land of inheritance of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace.

He must have set off a series of inheritance. Therefore, his body was in a coma, but his consciousness appeared right here. Furthermore, based on what he saw and heard, coupled with his own interpretation, he realized that his consciousness was now in his internal world.

This person, who claimed to be Thearch Armor, seemed to have arrived in his internal world through a form of projection. That was so he could impart cultivation techniques, just that he was too arrogant and looked down on others.

<em>Since it’s my own internal world, I should be able to control it to a certain extent… </em>Looking at the extremely arrogant and overbearing figure before him, who had been shocked consecutively by his internal world, Wang Baole spoke while smiling, raising both his hands while the overbearing figure reveled in shock.

“All worlds, open!”

A loud boom instantly reverberated in the surroundings, spreading like thunder in all directions. Cracks appeared suddenly, and as the cracks were being torn open, the Dark Sect world, as well as the Never-Ending Clan statue world that was previously opened by the overbearing figure, appeared instantly.

As the frightening aura from the individual stars of the Dark Sect world emerged, and as the force from the Never-Ending Clan statue was felt, the heavens and earth shook. It destabilized the overbearing figure’s breathing, but even before he could get used to those two worlds, the third world arrived.

It was the world where the large canvas was. As it was opened up, the little girl didn’t catch the attention of the overbearing figure. However, it was her father, the white-haired man, who caused the overbearing figure to tremble with extreme fear and scream voicelessly the moment he saw it.

“Malefic star! This is impossible. This… this…”

The overbearing figure was visibly stuttering, and as he screamed, his heart was filled with a torrent of emotions.

Wang Baole was somewhat surprised. He blinked his eyes and cleared his throat. His consciousness was transformed into the appearance of his physical body, and with his hands behind his back, he spoke calmly.

“You’re referring to my father-in-law? My father-in-law doesn’t like others calling him malefic star, so you have to take note.”

“Your… Father-in-law?” The overbearing figure suddenly turned to look at Wang Baole, with a look on his face as if he had just seen a ghost. He didn’t believe Wang Baole’s words, but there were just too many things he didn’t understand about Wang Baole’s internal world. However, fundamentally, he still didn’t believe anything. Rather, he was unwilling to believe anything. As such, he roared.

“The mighty Dark Sect is a supreme existence. He’s your Master? And the mighty being that emerged beyond the fifth step of the Dao Domain is your father-in-law? You…” Even before the overbearing figure could finish his sentence, his body stiffened as he stared dazedly at Wang Baole.

Right now, he could only see that Wang Baole had raised and waved his right hand while he spoke. A ball of Dark Fire gathered in his hand, and a chilly aura emerged from his internal world.

“This is Dark Fire. Since Senior knows about the Dark Sect, you should be familiar with the Dark Fire too, right? As for your doubts about the relationship between my lover and I, then…” With that, Wang Baole began to chant the Dao sutra in his heart.

As he chanted in his heart, an aura that seemed to emerge from the depths of the Universe passed through the solar system, passed the ancient greenish-bronze sword, and arrived in Wang Baole’s internal world. It shook the entire surroundings, shocking the overbearing figure.

Seeing that the overbearing figure was dumbfounded, Wang Baole felt delighted. But he pretended to raise his head like nothing happened. As he waved his hand, the last world was transformed. He felt that since the last world was revealed, he should showcase the heart as well, to see if that fella recognized it.

That action of Wang Baole was understood by the overbearing figure. The strong sense of shock didn’t appear like previously, but very soon, as Wang Baole’s fifth world emerged, and the giant heart was seen by the overbearing figure, the overbearing figure let out a shrill scream. It was hard to imagine that a person like him could scream with such a loud voice.

“This… This… This is taboo!” The overbearing figure hyperventilated, and the armor on his body couldn’t resist the force as it broke apart, revealing an extremely pale face and a pair of eyes that carried a look of disbelief. He turned his body, instinctively wanting to escape, but when he moved, the giant heart trembled. At that instant, the overbearing figure was on the brink of tears. He trembled and didn’t dare to move.

Seeing how frightened the figure was, even Wang Baole was in taken aback for a while. He blinked his eyes and cleared his throat as he greeted the overbearing figure with cupped fists.

“Senior, Junior here has shown you all my internal worlds. I wonder if you still judge me as D-grade?”

“A… A-grade…” The overbearing figure looked bitter as he looked at the heart, at the canvas, sweeping his gaze at the Dark Sect world and in the direction of the Never-Ending Clan. That was the only thing he could say.

“Thanks for your compliment, Senior. The Thearch Armor cultivation technique that you mentioned previously… Just the first part seems to be too little…”

“Here you go, you can have everything!” The overbearing figure was on the brink of tears. He raised his right hand, sealing it and pointing his finger. Instantly, a red glow emerged, charging towards Wang Baole and integrating into his consciousness.

As the inheritance was being integrated, Wang Baole’s consciousness shook. Large amounts of information instantly filled his mind, such that his internal worlds couldn’t withstand it and began to dissipate. As they dissipated, the overbearing figure finally broke free. With a pitiful look on his face, he turned and stared angrily at Wang Baole before leaving with fear and helplessness.

He was unhappy when he thought about how he had imparted all his inheritance, just like that. After all, this was the first time he gave away the complete inheritance in all these years. However, when he thought about Wang Baole’s background, he could only sigh. He regretted choosing this fella.

<em>I’m just a projection. That’s just an act of bullying!</em>

As he wallowed in self-pity, the overbearing figure gradually dissipated. Wang Baole’s internal worlds also continuously dissipated as the inheritance was integrated into his consciousness. Everything turned into an empty space. Only Wang Baole remained continuously integrating the inheritance. Time also passed slowly in this manner. After an unknown period of time, the dark screen in the skies over the area where his physical body disappeared, and the three red cracks reappeared. As the weak glow fell on the blackened ground and shone on the unconscious trio, Wang Baole trembled and slowly opened his eyes.

He was confused at first, but he soon sat up. He looked at his surroundings and realized that he was still in the region he was in previously. However, the meditating figures no longer existed. After looking towards Zhuo Yifan and Zhao Yameng and sensing that there was nothing amiss with them other than them still being in a state of unconsciousness, he heaved a sigh of relief. He couldn’t help but think about what his consciousness experienced after falling into a coma. He began to carry a bizarre look on his face.

“Thearch Armor…” Wang Baole murmured. In his mind right now, a complete set of inheritance from this god was present. As he thought about it, Zhao Yameng’s body also trembled as she opened her eyes. When she sat up, she carried a look of confusion in her eyes, and that was the same for Zhuo Yifan when he awakened.

After a long while, when the trio looked towards each other, Wang Baole couldn’t bear it any longer. He began to speak softly.

“Did you… gain the inheritance?”

“It feels like I was in a dream, where there was an Armament Tumulus. There, I found a master, and my Master imparted me a cultivation technique…” After a moment of silence, Zhuo Yifan spoke softly, a look of confusion still in his eyes.

“I remember the cultivation technique that my Master passed to me. It’s called… the Nine Transformation Acts of the Divine Armament! However, she only imparted three acts to me!” With that, Zhuo Yifan’s eyes cleared up, and his breathing quickened as he looked towards Wang Baole and Zhao Yameng.

Zhao Yameng rubbed her glabella as if trying to recall something. After a brief moment, she nodded and spoke softly.

“That’s the same for me. In the Sea of Fire in the cosmos, I saw a large ancient tree, which called itself Disaster Firmament, who took me in as a disciple. It imparted the Disaster Firmament Ancient Array Formation to me!”

“It was also partial and incomplete…” A peculiar glow slowly appeared in Zhao Yameng’s eyes. Gradually, her energy seemed to have been transformed following the inheritance. Even her cultivation had reached a breakthrough, and she was just a few steps away from reaching the Core Formation realm.

“This place… It’s not the land of danger, but the land of inheritance!” Finally, Zhao Yameng took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
