📖 Chapter 1313 - Emperor Spirit!

21 Apr, 2024

“Ear’s Desire City?” Wang Baole was thoughtful. This world of Source Universe Dao Void seemed a little different from his expectations. Back in the stele world, he had seen some cultivators cultivating the Dao of Sound, but it was obvious that their cultivation was completely different in nature compared to the cultivators here.

‘After cultivating to a certain level, they can turn their whole body into an illusory rhythm?’ This novel cultivation method stirred Wang Baole’s interest. As for the idea of them becoming undying and inextinguishable after turning into a rhythm, he naturally didn’t believe it.

In any case, perhaps it was because of the young man’s detailed answer, or maybe there were other reasons, but Wang Baole felt that the young man in front of him was increasingly pleasing to the eye, and the joy in his heart became stronger.

Wang Baole slowly narrowed his eyes. He fiddled with the music notes between his fingers, causing the distorted rhythms to ring out again. As the music entered his ears, the joy in his heart faded. Suddenly, he spoke up and asked another question.

“What about you?”

The young man hesitated for a moment. However, his survival instincts made him immediately discard his previous mocking thoughts, and he answered meekly.

“This junior is a cultivator from the Joy Lineage, cultivating the Dao of Joy. With this Dao, joyful intent radiates from my every move, infecting everyone around me. According to the Joy Faction’s records, if you cultivate this Dao to the pinnacle and reach the level of Joy Lord, you can cause all living beings to go mad with joy.”

“The Dao of Joy?” Wang Baole was about to inquire further, but at that moment, the red mist all around them suddenly churned. Rumbling thunder echoed from far away.

If that was all, then it wouldn’t be anything big. But at the same time that thunder rumbled and the red mist churned, a massive golden net seemed to appear in the surroundings, closing in on Wang Baole and the young man’s location.

Wang Baole’s eyes flickered as he gave up on asking more about the Dao of Joy and instead asked the young man a different question.

"What's going on?"

The young man was also stunned. Confusion appeared on his face.

“Could it be that some other powerhouse from Ear’s Desire City was chasing me? No, I haven’t heard of anyone cultivating the sound of thunder there…

“Even if there was, such a person wouldn’t bother chasing me all the way here.

“This is already the void underground. There should be no life here other than the hibernating Ancients. Could it be that another Ancient has awakened?” The young man sounded surprised. This wasn’t fake; he was genuinely bewildered.

It wasn’t common for Ancients to awaken. Seeing just one was already rare. He couldn’t believe that he had encountered a second awakening Ancient in a single day.

Someone with Wang Baole’s experience could obviously tell that the young man really was confused. Thus, narrowing his eyes, he put away the two captive music notes and grabbed the young man, preparing to leave this place.

The reason for this was because the approaching thunder actually gave him a sense of crisis. With his current cultivation base, anything that could make him feel a sense of crisis was definitely extremely dangerous.

But… it seemed that Wang Baole’s movements were noticed. Just as he tried to retreat, the rumbling of thunder suddenly grew louder as it rapidly closed in. An instant later, the red mist exploded, and a pitch-black spear surrounded by purple lightning pierced toward Wang Baole.

This spear was so fast it left behind a string of afterimages, and it carried an inexorable force of destruction within it. As soon as it appeared, booms sounded out in all directions. The aura of destruction rolling off the spear was comparable to the power of the peak of the fourth step.

In an instant, the spear appeared in front of Wang Baole and was about drill through him.

However, this alone was far from enough to pose a threat to Wang Baole. As soon as the spear approached, Wang Baole unleashed the power of his Eight Extremes Dao. Raising his left hand, he wrapped his palm around the shaft, causing it to grind to a halt!

No matter how fierce the spear was or how much it struggled, it was no use. Wang Baole’s hand was like an iron clamp, preventing it from moving.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, he sent the spear flying back where it came from. This time, it flew out with even faster speed and even stronger momentum!

With a whistling sound, the spear disappeared into the mist.

Moments later, a loud rumble rang out, and a white-masked figure in a white robe suddenly walked out of the mist. As soon as this figure appeared, the golden net in the surroundings became completely solid.

This scene caused Wang Baole’s eyes to narrow. At the same time, the eyes of the young man who cultivated the Dao of Joy widened as he seemed to recall something. His expression changed from bewilderment to horror as he exclaimed in a terrified voice.

"Emperor Spirit! Heavens, that… that’s an Emperor Spirit!!”

“What’s an Emperor Spirit?” Wang Baole immediately asked.

“According to legend, Emperor Spirits are the envoys of the Heavenly Dao. They’re eternally undying and inextinguishable, and almost never appear in this world. This can’t be, why is an Emperor Spirit here? It’s said that they only move for the sake of a single mission, and that mission is to kill outsiders…” At this point, the young man suddenly stopped speaking. He whipped his head around to look at Wang Baole, and his face became even more shocked.

“You… you aren’t an Ancient? You… came from outside?”

“They kill outsiders, and are undying and inextinguishable?” Wang Baole was thoughtful. Thunder rumbled as the figure with a white mask and white robe arrived, but Wang Baole didn’t move out of the way.

Because at that moment, a sharp whistling sound erupted from the mist, and the spear he had thrown out previously returned. It was far faster and more powerful than before as it struck out toward the figure approaching Wang Baole.

The white figure immediately noticed it and tried to dodge, but it was too late. In the blink of an eye, with a loud boom, the spear smashed through the white figure and blasted it to pieces.

Seeing this, the young man was stunned speechless.

However, Wang Baole’s expression didn’t relax in the slightest. Instead, he frowned, because this Emperor Spirit was merely in the fourth step. He wouldn’t feel any crisis from just this. Moreover, even now that the Emperor Spirit was dead, the sense of crisis Wang Baole had been feeling wasn’t abated at all, and in fact it grew even heavier.

Looking up, Wang Baole focused in on the spot where the Emperor Spirit had been destroyed. His pupils immediately contracted, because there, rather than dissipating into nothingness, the scattered flesh and blood of the destroyed Emperor Spirit… suddenly gathered into new figures.

Two new Emperor Spirits appeared!

Two Emperor Spirits, completely identical and both at the peak of the fourth step!
