š Chapter 1051 - Iāve Been Waiting For You!
āNext time, theyāll select me?ā Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and thought this sentence over carefully. The more he thought about it, the more an inexplicable sense of anxiety arose in his heart.
That was because, logically speaking, the so-called ānext timeā could refer to his past lifeās reincarnation after death, but it could also refer toā¦ the next epoch. In other wordsā¦ the present!
At the same time, it was also possible that the sentence was tied to a certain magical technique or divine ability. Or maybe it actually meant nothing at all.
It was precisely because there was such a wide range of interpretations that Wang Baole couldnāt help but feel anxious. In the end, he couldnāt figure it out, so he had no choice but to bury it in his heart. However, the image of that hand had inerasably engraved itself into his mind.
It wasnāt until a long time passed that Wang Baole finally took a deep breath and looked up. As he did so, his pupils suddenly contracted.
He realized that the spell formation around his body had been activated, and he also remembered the sensation of crisis right as he was sinking into his past life.
āSomeone was hereā¦ā Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and stood up. With a wave of his hand, the protective barrier that had originally been invisible to the naked eye suddenly appeared in front of him. After he sent his divine sense into it, although he couldnāt see exactly who had attacked them, he could more or less figure out the level of their cultivation base. At the same time, he discovered that about 20 hours had passed since he entered his past life.
āGreat circle of the Planet Realmā¦ They tried to attack me? And were blocked by my spell formationā¦ā Wang Baoleās eyes flickered with thought. This matter was somewhat strange.
That was because he had begun sinking into his past life the moment that aged voice had spoken. If he was the only one, then that would be one thing, but it was obvious that the voice must have spoken to all the trial participants at the same time. Thus, everyone should have begun sinking into their past lives simultaneously.
Apparently, someone had been able to resist the sinking feeling and gone out to attack people. Although killing wasnāt allowed, the attackerās purpose wasnāt to kill but to plunder the light of guidance.
āSo there were people with such meansā¦ I have to be careful. My location has already been exposed. This place isnāt safe.ā A cold light flashed through Wang Baoleās eyes. Normally speaking, with his current cultivation base, he could basically disregard even those in the great circle of the Planet Realm.
But if the enemy attacked while he was sinking into his past life, then all he could rely on was the protection of the spell formation. If something went wrong, the consequences couldnāt be understated.
āShould I go look for them and take care of them in advanceā¦? No, I donāt even know who it is. In that case, I should just change locations and continue seeking enlightenment of my past lives.ā Wang Baole thought for a moment, then walked toward the edge of the clearing. Without stopping for an instant, he stepped straight into the fog.
He didnāt have to walk for long before he started seeing other trial takers. Some of them hadnāt woken up from their past lives, and others were wandering through the fog just like him. Whenever they noticed each other, they quickly walked in different directions.
There were also some clearings that should have contained trial takers but were currently empty. Obviously, the trial takers in those areas had either entered the fog or failed the trial due to some accident.
At the same time, faint sounds of battle could be heard from all directions. It was obvious that most people had already awakened from their first lives, benefiting greatly. And so, battles over the light of guidance were breaking out everywhere.
In fact, compared with the entirety of the white fog region, the area Wang Baole had traversed was only the tip of the iceberg. Farther away, battles would break out almost every few minutes. Each time, a large number of trial takers would lose their light of guidance and fail the trial, forcibly being teleported out of the trial land.
Although he didnāt see any fights with his own eyes, Wang Baole could pretty much guess what was going on as he continued through the fog.
āIf thatās the caseā¦ā After thinking it over, Wang Baole gave up on changing locations. Turning around and going back to his own clearing, he sat down cross-legged to await the start of the second day of the trial. At the same time, he gradually got used to his newfound physical power.
In addition, there was a small sword about one inch long in his right hand. Although this sword was tiny, it was also extraordinary; it was a gift from one of Wang Baoleās senior brothers. Its edge was exceedingly sharp, and he could change its size with a hand seal.
Right now, it was covered by his palm, making it impossible for outsiders to see it. Just like that, four hours passed.
Suddenly, the voice of the old servant beside Reverend Heaven-Learned echoed throughout the white fog again.
āSecond day, second life!ā
In an instant, the white glow around Wang Baole brightened, and the power of guidance burst out. At the same time, the surrounding fog began swirling again, and Wang Baole was assaulted with a sinking feeling that was even stronger than before.
Wang Baole breathed heavily, his mind on high alert and his cultivation base circulating at full speed as he tried to forcibly resist the sinking sensation. However, although there was some effect, it wasnāt enough. When he felt that he was about to lose consciousness, he suddenly clenched his right hand!
His right hand instantly transmitted a sharp pain, but Wang Baole didnāt flinch in the slightest. Instead, he deliberately slackened his expression. Logically speaking, if he had made no preparations, then this was the moment he would sink into his past life. However, his surroundings were still, and no shadow appeared.
Up until this moment, everything was going according to Wang Baoleās plan. Since he couldnāt find the one who threatened his safety, he would just wait for them to reveal themselves. Although it seemed like he was sinking into his past life, he was actually prepared to launch a counterattack.
However, no one had appeared, and the sinking feeling was growing stronger and stronger. Wang Baole hesitated a little, but he soon clenched his right hand again, using the pain of being stabbed with the tiny sword to hold onto his consciousness. Then, with the power of his cultivation base, he forcibly shifted his internal organs, causing his body to be wracked by even more severe pain and making his mind completely clear. Only then was he able to fend off the sinking sensation that was trying to pull him into his past life.
Time continued to pass. Thirty breaths later, the sinking feeling seemed to have passed a certain limit and began weakening rapidly. Wang Baole had the premonition that once the sinking feeling disappeared completely, if he continued to resist, then he would lose this opportunity to sink into his past life!
Just as he was hesitating again, nine black shadows suddenly rushed out of the fog at an astonishing speed. Although they seemed to be the same as the previous black shadow, their momentum was at least several times stronger than before.
Moreover, there were nine of them, a clear indication that the enemy had come prepared. As the fog churned, the nine black shadows charged toward the seated Wang Baole from nine directions.
They were so fast that it didnāt take more than a moment for them to draw near. A deep voice rang out simultaneously from all nine shadows.
āQuake!ā
With that one word, the nine shadows transformed into nine men in black robes. Raising their right hands, they simultaneously pressed down on the protective light barrier that had appeared around Wang Baole.
The nine black shadows werenāt surprised by the barrierās appearance, continuing their attacks without hesitation. Booms rang out, and the barrier of light instantly distorted. Just like before, the nine black shadows collapsed after being struck by the backlash. Howeverā¦ the attacks launched by the nine black shadows were related to earthquakes. Thus, their attacks contained a penetrating power that could pierce through the spell formation!
As a result, although the black shadows were destroyed by the backlash, some of their power managed to penetrate the spell formation. This power turned into black strands of mist that instantly fused together inside the spell formation, forming a finger that pierced toward the center of Wang Baoleās brows!
āWang Baole, your Dao Planetā¦ is mine!ā
A gloomy voice filled with greed echoed out. But at that momentā¦ the unmoving Wang Baole, who seemed to be sinking into his past life, suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a cold gaze filled with killing intent. His right hand shot into the air, tightly grasping the incoming finger of black mist!
No matter how the black mist finger struggled, it couldnāt break free!
āYouā¦ā A shrill voice full of disbelief rang out from the finger. But it was interrupted by Wang Baoleās indifferent words.
āIāve been waiting for you for a long time!ā As soon as he spoke, Wang Baole clenched his right hand that was tightly grabbing the finger!
