Chapter 853: Dark Art: Return of Yang!
To a certain extent, Little Missy’s words made sense. w.a.n.g Baole was indeed too greedy this time. Although it was because he didn’t want the opportunity that he worked so hard to obtain to slip away, both the early-stage and mid-stage Spirit Immortal realm wouldn’t cause him such pain.
After all, completely unleas.h.i.+ng the ocean in his soul and pouring it all into his body in such a short time meant that his essence body could be considered to be torn to pieces.
It could withstand collapsing and stand there because of the Eternal Star Fire and Planet realm palm in his body, alongside the suppression of the Emperor Armor and power of the Dao Scripture. It was just that the intense pain coming from his body made w.a.n.g Baole s.h.i.+ver uncontrollably. But the only thing that he could do at that point was focus all of his energy on stabilizing his body.
The good thing was that both the Eternal Star Fire and the Planet realm palm had extraordinary power. The Emperor Armor also acted like a tightening ring to bind his body, thereby giving him time to catch his breath. The most important factor was the Dao Scripture. When its will descended and engulfed w.a.n.g Baole’s body, it seemed to give him incredible power.
This made it so that w.a.n.g Baole could forcefully stabilize his body a bit in a short amount of time. It was just that… the Dao Scripture couldn’t be sustained for long and dissipated very quickly. But the Eternal Star Fire could last forever, so although he was suddenly under a lot of stress, after the stabilization, he could already open his eyes slightly.
I was too reckless this time… w.a.n.g Baole lowered his head while smiling bitterly. Looking at his body, he could clearly feel that once he stopped using the Eternal Star Fire, Planet realm palm, or Emperor Armor, his body would collapse immediately. His state could be considered at an equilibrium.
I’m already a late-stage Spirit Immortal, but I feel like a porcelain doll. I’ll be screwed by a mere touch. w.a.n.g Baole raised his head helplessly. His gaze swept past the millions of souls kneeling in front of him while remaining stationary. He also looked towards the twelve emperors kneeling in the sky palace, a strange glimmer appearing in his eyes. In the end, he looked at the emperor’s armor sitting on the royal throne deep within the palace.
After swallowing the old ghost, although he didn’t obtain his memories and the continuation techniques of the Demonic Eye Art, his own Demonic Eye Art was already different from before. Without the will of the old ghost within it, the Demonic Eye Art already completely belonged to him. w.a.n.g Baole even experienced a strange feeling when he looked towards the emperor’s armor. It was as though… the armor was dispersing waves of resonance with his Demonic Eye Art cultivation technique.
Feeling that resonance, w.a.n.g Baole narrowed his eyes. Despite every part of his body hurting, he still forced himself to raise his feet and step forward. His late-stage Spirit Immortal cultivation spread forth, and although he only took one step, w.a.n.g Baole’s silhouette disappeared. When it reappeared… he was already in the palace. He was behind the twelve emperors and in front of the emperor’s armor!
w.a.n.g Baole stood there and stared at the armor in front of him. After being silent for a few breath’s time, he slowly raised his right hand and pressed it towards the armor. The giant black eye behind him also appeared.
Instantly, as w.a.n.g Baole’s palm landed and the black eye appeared behind him, the emperor’s armor in front of him trembled and actually disa.s.sembled itself into hundreds of pieces in the blink of an eye, heading straight for w.a.n.g Baole. It first touched his outstretched right hand and slowly covered him starting from the finger. After it formed a black palm armor, it spread up his arm towards his chest and then spread to his left hand and entire upper body.
Afterwards, it spread up and down at the same time. One part went up w.a.n.g Baole’s neck and covered his face. Meanwhile, the other part spread towards his legs. All of that happened in an instant, and in that instant… w.a.n.g Baole’s body trembled violently. He felt the disturbance of the Thearch Armor and the vibration of his Dharmic Battles.h.i.+p.
Very quickly, the locust Dharmic Battles.h.i.+p was actually separated from within the Emperor Armor and landed at one side amidst rumbles. It was as though the emperor’s armor didn’t approve of it. While it chased it away, it fused together with the original Thearch Armor.
Such a fusion was obviously more compatible than the one between the Thearch Armor and locust Dharmic Battles.h.i.+p. It was as though the two armors were originally a single armor. There were no obstacles to the fusion, and they both seemed to complement each other. In an instant, they completely fused together.
In the next moment, an aura even more violent than that of the previous Emperor Armor burst forth from w.a.n.g Baole’s new armor. Its appearance also changed. Countless complicated patterns appeared, looking like countless eyes. The previous bone spikes were all retracted, but they didn’t disappear. Instead, w.a.n.g Baole could unleash them with just a thought.
Its color was also completely black. Finally… within the countless eyes on the armor, a giant red eye appeared on w.a.n.g Baole’s chest. The eyes were like stars accentuating the moon, making the red eye extremely eye-catching.
Following that was a wave of power that was completely compatible with w.a.n.g Baole’s avatar. Furthermore, the complete Divine Eye Art that w.a.n.g Baole longed for was imprinted directly into his mind from the armor.
This caused w.a.n.g Baole to clench his fists as his breathing quickened. Instantly, the heavens and earth changed as the winds and clouds rumbled. His late-stage Spirit Immortal cultivation exploded forth, and it was boosted instantly. It exceeded the late-stage and perfected Spirit Immortal realm. Although the power unleashed was weaker than that of a Planet realm…. to a certain extent, it seemed not too far off from the power of a true Planet realm!
This shook w.a.n.g Baole’s soul. He felt that he was stronger than he ever was before, and he also felt that his torn and tattered body had actually stabilized even more following the appearance of the new Emperor Armor.
It seemed like he didn’t even need the Eternal Star Fire and Planet realm palm to maintain his current state. Such a feeling was very intense and caused w.a.n.g Baole to decisively try putting away both the Eternal Star Fire and Planet realm palm at once after going silent for a few breaths.
When he put them away completely, although the intense pain on his body intensified, his body remained stable as he predicted.
This Emperor Armor…. is indeed extraordinary!
If that’s the case, then I have time to think about how to completely stabilize my body. At the same time… following the completion of the Divine Eye Art, my cultivation can rise infinitely so long as I continue killing in the future! While w.a.n.g Baole was extremely excited, he experienced how horrifying the Divine Eye Art was. Meanwhile, he also grew more curious about the origin of the Divine Eye Art.
But he knew that he couldn’t be anxious about those kinds of things. He also didn’t regret completely exterminating the old ghost. After all, w.a.n.g Baole instinctively distrusted that old ghost. After suppressing that thought, he raised his head to look at his surroundings. He was just about to check what treasures were left within the imperial cemetery when…
As his gaze swept past, the motionless emperor spirits kneeling down within the palace trembled. After they got up and turned their heads to look at w.a.n.g Baole in unison, they kneeled towards him!
“Greetings, Emperor!”
Not only they behaved this way. Outside the palace, the millions of spirits got up and turned around in unison. Afterward, they all kneeled towards w.a.n.g Baole and dispersed a heaven-shaking wave as their disturbances gathered together.
“Greetings, Emperor!”
w.a.n.g Baole immediately narrowed his eyes and experienced it. First, he confirmed that he was indeed w.a.n.g Baole and that him swallowing the old ghost wasn’t an illusion and actually happened. Afterward, he looked towards the twelve emperors and the millions of spirits outside. He had already noticed something interesting, though he wasn’t sure of the source. Perhaps it was because of him swallowing the old ghost, or the fact that he was the Dark Child, or because of his armor…
There was also a possibility that it was due to all three of those factors combined. Regardless, he was able to control the millions of souls and twelve emperors. More than that, to them, he… was the Divine Eye civilization’s emperor!
Twelve emperors… and every one of them is equivalent to a Spirit Immortal Divine Soul…
For the millions of souls, although they’re not Spirit Immortals, they all have the power of a Nascent Soul!
This scene caused w.a.n.g Baole’s breathing to quicken slightly as a glimmer appeared in his eyes. He had already understood in his heart that all of this was probably prepared by the old ghost for his rise after he revived.
You’re worse than me at herding souls, old ghost. As for sealing souls and returning yang… you definitely wouldn’t know how to do that either. So, these millions of souls are destined to belong to me! As w.a.n.g Baole laughed, he raised his right hand and waved it. Instantly, large numbers of puppets appeared from within his storage bag. There were approximately a hundred thousand of them. Although they couldn’t meet the requirements of millions of souls, they could at least provide them a place to shelter themselves.
Afterward, w.a.n.g Baole took out twelve strong puppets that he had refined himself. The twelve puppets were created in batches by w.a.n.g Baole throughout the years. As they appeared, w.a.n.g Baole weaved hand seals with both hands as a strange light spread from his eyes. Instantly, Dark Fire burst forth from within and outside his body, transforming into Dark Seals that weren’t from this world one after another in his surroundings.
“Dark Art… Sealing, Return of Yang!”
