š Chapter 1320 - The Protector Awakens
Wang Baole was no stranger to Dao Seeds.
In order to cultivate his Eight Extremes Dao, he had scoured the entire stele world for treasures that could be used as Dao Seeds. However, those supreme treasures were really only half-finished products. It was only after they fused with his Dao that they could truly be called Dao Seeds.
And the voice of the blue-clothed woman at this moment actually gave Wang Baole a similar feeling. Moreover, she didnāt have the aura of a half-finished product, but really seemed like a true Dao Seed.
āThis woman is the perfect carrier for the Dao of Earās Desire. Once she cultivates her law of Earās Desire to a certain extent, she will turn into a complete Dao Seed!
āSomething like this couldnāt happen naturally. This must be the result of someoneās scheme!ā
A profound light flickered through Wang Baoleās eyes. With his current cultivation base and experience, he could tell at a glance that this blue-clothed womanās entire life had most likely been planned out for her by someone else. To be precise, this womanā¦ was nothing more than a living furnace.
A furnace to cultivate a Dao Seed.
The one who turned her into a living furnace was obviously someone who cultivated the Dao of Earās Desire. Among the possible candidates, the Lord of Earās Desire was the most likely.
Of course, it might be another cultivator of Earās Desire, but no matter what, such a person would definitely be a top-tier figure in Earās Desire City.
"Interesting."
Wang Baole narrowed his eyes in thought. Dao Seeds like this were peerlessly valuable treasures. As long as someone obtained this Dao Seed and fused it into their bodies, their cultivation of the law of Earās Desire would immediately rise to a frightening degree.
And if the one obtaining the Dao Seed was Wang Baoleā¦ after some time, he could even shake the position of the Lord of Earās Desire and become the sourcepoint of Earās Desire.
A Dao Seed was like a key.
What it unlocked was the sourcepoint!
āBut itās riskyā¦ā Wang Baole hesitated. With his current insights into the Dao of Joy, it would be impossible to suppress this blue-clothed woman and refine the Dao Seed.
He would have to use his own strength if he wanted to do that. But using his own strength came with two risks.
The first risk came from the one in Earās Desire City who had planted the Dao Seed and turned this woman into a living furnace. Although Wang Baole didnāt know who this person was, it was obvious that they were an extremely powerful cultivator.
Once he plucked their Dao Fruit, there would be a life and death enmity between them. That person would definitely be furious and hunt Wang Baole down at all costs.
Although that would be a little troublesome, Wang Baole didnāt care too much about this first risk. Instead, the thing that truly gave him pause was the second risk, which wasā¦ the risk of being detected by the Emperor Spirits, as well as the risk of the Emperor awakening.
However, if he obtained the Dao Seed in front of him, he would be able to even more easily integrate with this world. Thus, after thinking things through to this point, Wang Baoleās eyes immediately gleamed with resolution.
All of this takes a long time to describe, but it happened in just a few moments in Wang Baoleās mind. After coming to a decision, his eyes shone as he turned back and looked at the blue-clothed woman.
His Eight Extremes Dao circulated in his body. In his eyes, the sharp noise being released by the blue-clothed woman suddenly seemed to become an illusory music note.
This note looked like a rune, but at the same time, it seemed to be a womanās back. A single glance at it could make a person lose themselves, unable to turn their gaze away. At this moment, the note was charging toward Wang Baole with infinite momentum, causing all directions to distort under its aura.
Seemingly intent on entering his body, the music note pierced straight toward the center of Wang Baoleās brows. As it neared, invisible tentacles suddenly spread out and tried to drill into his flesh.
The sound entering his ears was no longer full of pure hatred and resentment. Instead, it contained happy laughter, tears, and the cries of birds and beasts.
There were also the echoes of inanimate objects, as if all noises in heaven and earth were fusing together. The resulting sound was like heavenly music, but at the same time, it was demonic and bizarre as it shot toward Wang Baole.
Anyone else would have already lost themselves in the law of Earās Desire that infused this sound. However, with Wang Baoleās cultivation base, a mere Dao Seed was unable to shake him.
Therefore, as soon as the music note approached the center of his brow, Wang Baole made his move. With the all-encompassing power of the law of earth, he grabbed the note firmly in his right hand.
If an outsider were to look in at this moment, all they would see was Wang Baole raising his hand and grabbing at empty space. But an instant later, the music note that was originally invisible suddenly appeared between Wang Baoleās fingers, struggling violently.
It wanted to escape into the void, but Wang Baoleās fingers were incredibly strong. Moreover, the power of earth tightly sealed it in place.
At the same time, the blue-clothed woman suddenly paused and abruptly dissipated, as if blown away by the wind.
As she dissipated, everything in the surroundings was restored to normal. Wang Baole didnāt hesitate and immediately put away the music note, stopping his circulation of the law of earth and letting the law of joy fill his body.
Butā¦ he was still too late.
As soon as he used his own power, a divine will had instantaneously locked on to him from the heavens. Even as he disseminated his law of joy into the surroundings, numerous Emperor Spirits immediately appeared all around him.
The sky trembled, and the wind and clouds churned. Black lightning flashed, as if the wrath of the heavens was being released onto the world.
āSo fast!ā Wang Baoleās expression sank. He knew that fighting with these Emperor Spirits was pointless, so he unhesitatingly chose to retreat. Behind him, the Emperor Spirits raised their heads. The eyes beneath their white masks revealed nothing but indifference as they shot toward him with shocking momentum.
Wherever they passed, cracks appeared in the sky, and the earth below them collapsed. Countless animals trembled in panic, and even the worldās experts were alarmed.
But all of this wasnāt the most dangerous part.
What made Wang Baole truly feel his scalp go numb was that at this moment, a gaze crossed an endless distance and fell on his body.
The owner of this gaze was the black-robed man sitting on top of the parrot statue in the Slumber Realm. At this moment, his eyes opened to reveal blood-red pupils.
But looking carefully, it could be seen that although this manās pupils were red with madness, they actually seemed somewhat stiff and lifeless. However, that didnāt interfere with the terrifying aura that erupted from his body.
A monstrous storm swept through the entire Slumber Realm, gathering into an enormous hand. This hand was shockingly powerful, carrying momentum that could shatter the heavens and shake the earth as it descended into the World Realm andā¦ reached out toward Wang Baole!
