A World Worth Protecting

Looking from afar, this scene was incredibly resplendent!

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>The 7000 puppets and 7000 light rays all entangled themselves onto the Ink Dragon Legion commander’s body, causing her to become a giant cocoon. Individually, any light ray in this cocoon didn’t seem like much. It was only due to Wang Baole’s mastery in artifact refinement and how he combined the techniques of the Federation and the Divine Eye civilization that they were able to unleash a Nascent Soul power for a short period of time.

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>That way, using 7000 light rays with Nascent Soul power to entangle the commander layer by layer 7000 times, Wang Baole could stall her for some time despite the power not being enough to hurt her!

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>To be able to achieve that, it should be considered a seal no matter what!

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>As this scene formed, the entire battlefield of Ink Dragon Legion cultivators who were excited due to the appearance of their commander was shocked. Truly, anyone could tell that this seal cost a lot to make. At the same time, they couldn’t help but admit that this method of sealing was effective!

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>It really was effective. The Ink Dragon Legion commander entangled by the 7000 light rays struggled with all her limbs, let out a roar, and unleashed her cultivation to try and escape. But the most she could do was break some of the light rays and make the puppets explode. It was impossible for her to break free instantly!

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>“Ink Dragon Legion, I want you to remember that offending me has its consequences!” Killing intent exploded forth from Wang Baole’s eyes. Not wasting any time, Wang Baole chased the Soul Conduit cultivators with a flick of his body!

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>“Kill!” Wang Baole bellowed, and like a ray of lightning, he arrived in front of a Soul Conduit cultivator. That cultivator looked middle-aged, and upon seeing Wang Baole, his expression changed. Knowing that he couldn’t escape, he had frenzied eyes and immediately unleashed his trump card, hoping to stall for time until reinforcements arrived.

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>The other Soul Conduit cultivators clenched their teeth and arrived quickly, trying to retaliate in a group to buy time for their commander to escape!

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>But… their thoughts were too naive!

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>One could say the battle situation was already fixed. They had instinctively retreated after experiencing Wang Baole’s viciousness, and he wasn’t going to give them a chance to regroup!

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>As these Soul Conduit cultivators were about to regroup, Wang Baole waved his hand, and dozens of battleships exploded instantly as they were thrown out. The rumbles were deafening, and the impact they created was like a sweeping storm, causing the cosmos to tremble. Those Soul Conduit cultivators had no choice but to unleash their spells to resist, and they slowed down as a result.

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>The moment they slowed down, Wang Baole sped up further, ignoring the resistance of the Soul Conduit cultivators he wished to kill. He was like a speeding war cart, and he crashed into one of them directly, rumbles spreading through the surroundings.

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>As the rumbles echoed, the Soul Conduit cultivator’s body exploded. It was decimated, and Wang Baole immediately bolted out from a patch of bloody mist and headed straight for another person!

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>“Long Nanzi!” A low bellow and frenzied roar sounded from the sealed Ink Dragon Legion commander. Following the roar, hundreds of puppets couldn’t withstand it and exploded.

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>But no matter how much the Ink Dragon Legion commander roared, Wang Baole acted like he didn’t see or hear it, not caring about the consequences of her frenzy. He also didn’t rashly engage the commander in battle. Even if the commander was sealed, Wang Baole wasn’t confident that he could kill her before she escaped. Besides, when Wang Baole weighed the pros and cons, he realized that even if he could injure the Ink Dragon Legion commander, it was worth much less and was less sensational than if he could cripple the Ink Dragon Legion’s future plans.

After all, no matter how high the former’s cultivation level was, she was just an individual. The latter, however… was an army!

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>So without hesitation, Wang Baole made his decision. As his body flicked, his early-stage Soul Conduit realm cultivation was completely unleashed. Even if he didn’t unleash the Demonic Eye Art to prevent any accidents from happening, the augmentation from his damaged Thearch Armor and Stellar Nascent Soul caused him to have an extremely strong aura on the battlefield!

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>With a flick of his body, he raised his right hand, grabbing towards another Soul Conduit cultivator. He also cracked his skull, killing another person cleanly!

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>As he killed the second Soul Conduit cultivator, the other Soul Conduit cultivators’ roaring silhouettes and their divine powers had gathered and exploded forth!

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>Although these divine powers were strong, under the resistance of the Thearch Armor and Wang Baole’s body suddenly turning into mist, they didn’t affect him too much. At most, they made Wang Baole spit out a mouthful of essence blood, but at the same time, the Ink Dragon Legion paid the price once again!

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>The third Soul Conduit cultivator kept retreating, but his body was invaded by Wang Baole, who had turned into mist. When Wang Baole charged out, the third Soul Conduit cultivator’s shrill cry of pain shook the entire battlefield.

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>Meanwhile, the attacks from the surrounding battleships had arrived. As pillar after pillar of light exploded around Wang Baole, he waved his hand, and dozens of battleships flew out, spreading out and exploding again. This caused the Ink Dragon Legion battleships that had rapidly regrouped to descend into chaos again due to the impact!

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>After the Ink Dragon Legion commander experienced this scene, she struggled more violently, and her roars became more shrill, causing even more puppets to explode!

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>But… even if a huge number of puppets exploded, the 7000 puppets could still last for a while. After all, from the moment she was sealed until Wang Baole killed three Soul Conduit cultivators, only ten breaths of time had passed!

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>It wasn’t time for all of this to end. A cold glint flashed between Wang Baole’s eyes. Shifting his body, he charged out once again. He specifically targeted the early-stage Soul Conduit cultivators to kill, though he would take action against mid-stage Soul Conduit cultivators occasionally as well. As for the Ink Dragon Legion’s two late-stage Soul Conduit cultivators, Wang Baole tried his best to avoid fighting them. With his own defenses and speed, coupled with the self-destructing battleships he threw out occasionally, he controlled the entire battle situation in a short period of time!

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>As the fourth, fifth, sixth, and even seventh Soul Conduit cultivators were killed by Wang Baole, the group of Soul Conduit mighty figures in the Ink Dragon Legion was only left with five people!

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>At the same time, the multiple self-destructions of the battleships damaged the Ink Dragon Legion’s battleships quite badly. As for the donkey collecting the loot, he had already entered a frenzy!

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>All of this made the Ink Dragon Legion commander let out an even shriller roar. She even decided to unleash her mystic technique to quicken her struggle. Even though she had to pay a huge price to use the mystic technique, she had to do so.

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>This was because… Long Nanzi’s combat strength could be said to only be lower than hers, and his actions were vicious. Even scarier was the fact that he didn’t care about differences in cultivation level. It was as though, in his eyes, there were only enemies and friends. There was no such thing as the strong or the weak, and no such thing as the dignity of the strong!

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>Even if they were weak, so long as they were enemies, he would kill them regardless of gender!

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>In addition, the sheer accuracy of the timing of his attacks made the Ink Dragon Legion commander go into a frenzy in her heart. In truth, although the Ink Dragon Legion’s pillaging expedition was successful this time, they had still suffered heavy losses. Both the battleships and the army’s cultivators were in a weakened and exhausted state!

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>This was why Wang Baole was able to exploit their weaknesses and almost completely cripple the Ink Dragon Legion in a short period of time!

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>“Long Nanzi, I’m going to kill you!” This was why the Ink Dragon Legion commander had no choice but to go crazy. As she unleashed the mystic technique, the puppets surrounding her self-destructed in a large area. In the blink of an eye, over 4000 of them exploded one after the other. As for the remaining thousand, they were about to explode too.

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>Wang Baole’s face instantly became dark as the time he expected the Ink Dragon Legion commander to escape was brought forward. Even though he had previously expected this and prepared countermeasures, he still sighed in his heart.

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span><em>It looks like this is the most I can do… Although I’m not really satisfied, this will do. Before I leave, I’ll give her another large gift!</em> The vicious glint in Wang Baole’s eyes shone as he flicked his body once again. This time, however, his target changed. He was no longer targeting the Soul Conduit cultivators. Instead, he turned into mist and headed straight for the battleships while the Ink Dragon Legion was in chaos!

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>His objective wasn’t to destroy the battleships using his own cultivation, but to aggravate their existing injuries!

The previous explosions had already ripped open the old injuries of a majority of the Ink Dragon Legion battleships. As Wang Baole turned into mist and swept forward, he immediately made these battleships tremble once more and make sounds that signaled that they were unable to withstand the impact.

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>All of this was a long story, but actually, in a short period of time, Wang Baole’s body, which had turned to mist, swept across a large number of the Ink Dragon Legion’s biological battleships. As he damaged them, he raised his right hand and threw out the hundreds of remaining battleships in his storage bracelet, making them self-destruct!

<span> <span style="font-style: italic"></span></span>In the next moment, rumbles shook the cosmos and spread to an even further area. Even the storms it created connected together. As for the Ink Dragon Legion’s biological battleships, they were already damaged. Coupled with the destruction caused by the previous self-destructions of Wang Baole’s battleships and the corrosion by his mist body, they finally exceeded their breaking point under the impact of the storm that was stronger and spanned a wider area. They… started to self-destruct!
