A World Worth Protecting

Chapter 851 - A Technique to Fool the Heavens!

Time slowly passed… The possession had already gone on for a very long time, and Wang Baole felt a little tired as well. After all, continuously unleashing the Dark Fire while forming his devouring seed and scabbard and making them constantly shake and seem to struggle so as to scare people was all very tiring.

And absorbing the old ghost’s soul body and biting it every time was also very tiring.

The most important thing was, even though Wang Baole gave up on resisting in the end and focused on absorbing, such cooperation was equally tiring. That was because the old ghost was unleashing different kinds of possession techniques.

Oh well, I’m just that nice. To respect the elderly, I’ll let him suffer. Wang Baole sighed while not hiding the fact that he was very pleased with himself. But he displayed a look of helplessness as well and swallowed a part of the old ghost’s soul again.

Now, almost 70% of the old ghost’s soul had been swallowed by him. In fact, Wang Baole even felt himself changing. He had a feeling that when the possession ended and he opened his eyes, his cultivation would break through and step into the Spirit Immortal realm from the Soul Conduit realm.

And he would definitely not be at the early-stage Spirit Immortal realm. There was an extremely huge possibility that… he would instantly rise to the mid-stage Spirit Immortal realm. In fact, reaching the late-stage Spirit Immortal realm… seemed possible as well.

So be it, for all that, I’ll just feel tired. Wang Baole sighed and lunged over again to swallow viciously. But when he swallowed this time, the old ghost, who was still continuously trying previously, suddenly let out a roar. The remaining part of his soul spread forth. He didn’t try again. Instead… he retreated and chose to escape!

Obviously, the old ghost had been extremely shocked by the weirdness of the possession. He actually decided to give up at that moment and wanted to leave. However… this was Wang Baole’s essence body, and the old ghost couldn’t just come and go as he pleased.

The old ghost made use of Wang Baole to practice the Demonic Eye Art and formed a connection with him as a result, which thereby became the opportunity for the possession. However, the connection could also be used by Wang Baole to make it so that the old ghost couldn’t escape his body!

Demonic Eye Art! As Wang Baole’s soul body shook, his soul instantly became a giant black eye and formed a seal, preventing the old ghost from leaving the possession as he cried out in pain.

“Fellow Daoist Wang, I was wrong. I beg you. I can give you anything. I was wrong…”

“Call me Daddy, and I’ll consider it!”

“Daddy, I was wrong, I really did something wrong. Please let me go!”

“I’ve finished considering it. There’s no use even if you call me Daddy. Son, fat chance!”

“Wang Baole, you’ve forced my hand!”

“Yeah, I’ve forced your hand, so what!” Wang Baole humphed and lunged again to take another bite.

“Ahhhhhh!” The old ghost went into a frenzy and unleashed his cultivation techniques hysterically.

“Nine-to-One Origin Skill…”

“Demonic Eye Heaven Art…”

“Single Focus Technique…”

He unleashed over ten cultivation techniques at once, but in the end… he still failed. And under Wang Baole’s continuous absorption, he had already lost more than 80% of his soul body. There was only his soul’s head left floating there, and his eyes were filled with desperation and confusion.

He had already completely given up. While he was completely exhausted, the one thing he was most obsessed about in his heart was… why things would turn out this way and why he failed…

“Wang Baole, I’ll use a secret to exchange for an answer from you. Tell me, why did the possession end up like this…” In the end, the old ghost looked at Wang Baole blankly and mumbled.

“What secret? Tell me?” Wang Baole, who was preparing to eat up the remaining soul in one go, asked.

“The Divine Eye Art isn’t my original cultivation technique. Like the statue outside, it comes from a mysterious place called… the Graveyard of Stars. It’s a place of legends in the Never-Ending Star Domain and a secret realm that countless top family clans and sects desire and would die for. And I know a way to obtain a place to secretly enter when people enter using a certain ceremony!”

“Don’t bother searching my soul. I’ve sealed it with a hindrance, and it’ll collapse the moment my soul is searched. Now, can you tell me why my possession failed?” Speaking to that point, the old ghost looked towards Wang Baole with anticipation.

He said he wanted to exchange for an answer, but, in reality, he said all that as bait in an attempt to save his own life. In fact, he had other ideas deep in his mind. Although he failed this time, it didn’t mean that he wouldn’t succeed the next time so long as Wang Baole was swayed and gave him a chance.

He believed that so long as Wang Baole was swayed, his life would be saved. As for the secret… he would naturally tell it to Wang Baole. That was because there were two ways to enter that mysterious land—a legitimate way and a special way. He had already passed down the legitimate way to people in his clan before he died all those years ago. As for the special way, he originally planned to use it to bring misfortune to people, but he didn’t get to use it before he died.

Now, he decided to use it to bring misfortune upon Wang Baole. So long as Wang Baole was swayed and followed his method, he would have a chance to control the situation again!

“Interesting.” Wang Baole narrowed his eyes, looked at the patriarch, and laughed.

“The reason your possession failed? Of course I can tell you that. You fool. My body now is only an avatar. You tried to possess my avatar. Isn’t that foolish? I was even hoping for you to succeed. If you had successfully possessed my avatar, would you have become my avatar?” Wang Baole coughed and told him the answer.

The answer was like countless bolts of lightning exploding in the old ghost’s soul. He had previously guessed many answers, but he didn’t expect it to be this way. So, as his soul shook, he almost exploded open uncontrollably.

“Impossible!” The old ghost roared. To him, it was all a huge joke. He prepared so much and thought for so long, unleashing techniques and dirty tricks. In the end, he discovered that the thing he wanted to possess was actually an illusory avatar.

Instinctively, he felt that this was wrong. That was because, if Wang Baole was an avatar, it was impossible for him not to notice. Unless…

Someone unleashed a technique to fool the heavens, blocking my soul sense and planting a seed of illusion in my brain! The thought came to the old ghost out of the blue and was the only explanation he could think of. He felt bitter, frenzied, and indignant in his heart. He was about to speak, but in the next moment… he saw Wang Baole’s soul body speeding towards him.

He doesn’t want to know… A strong sense of danger made the old ghost scream. But not waiting for him to finish speaking, the remaining portion of his soul body was completely and cleanly swallowed by Wang Baole.

He had already died before and was only left with a soul body. If he died under the hands of someone else, possibly because his Nine Spectrals were sealed, there were still some seals and thus a possibility of reviving again. However… those who died under the hands of someone from the Dark Sect wouldn’t have this chance at all. Because when Wang Baole swallowed him, he said a certain sentence!

“When the heavens and earth separate, the cycle of fate stops!”

When he said that, the sound of something being damaged came from Wang Baole’s soul.

The first emperor of the Divine Eye civilization had his form and soul destroyed at that moment!

Of course I want to know, but I also know that leaving a threat behind brings no benefit to me. Besides… the Violet Gold civilization isn’t foolish. You’re obviously not the only one who knows about this! Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. Through the words of the old ghost, he faintly guessed why the Violet Gold civilization would cooperate with the weak Divine Eye civilization. If the Divine Eye civilization didn’t have the secret about the Graveyard of Stars, Wang Baole felt that it was highly unlikely.

As for Xie Haiyang… he might have eaten three and allowed me to go against the person he invested in for a long time because he had plans regarding the Graveyard of Stars!

As all sorts of thoughts flashed in Wang Baole’s mind, he felt the strength of his soul body and the intense disturbances that threatened to explode out and remembered the possession. He was already 90% sure in his heart that his senior brother, Chen Qing… helped him back then and left such a great opportunity for him.

Senior Brother, where are you… Wang Baole sighed. With thanks and longing, his soul spread out and covered his body. The moment he controlled his body again, his cultivation shot up!
