đź“– Chapter 936 - Underworld Law?!
It’s just that…there were too many people there and Wang Baole felt like it was impossible that the Starfall Empire wouldn’t monitor this place. Also, the paper human cutout who followed him was clearly not far away, so rationally speaking, it wasn’t a good idea to use the Underworld Law here.
In reality, that was exactly the case. The fluctuations of Eternal Star realm power on this Illusory Planet had already attracted the attention of the Starfall Empire. The five paper human cutouts in Starfall City could clearly see everything that was happening here, so it was natural that they could pinpoint the cause of these changes—Wang Baole.
If Wang Baole activated the Underworld Law right now, unforeseen consequences could occur. Thankfully, his cautious nature prevented this from happening.
However, the Chosen on the battlefield were full of grievances. After all, there were only a mere couple hundred people trying to fight the countless phantoms; even if 90% of the phantoms were insignificant, the more than fifty Planet Realm phantoms alone were enough to make them anxious, not to mention… the Eternal Star Realm one!
Against such a being, defeat was all but certain!
Moreover, these phantoms didn’t move according to logic, so no matter what, the first thing they had to do was take care of the Eternal Star Realm phantom.
The first person to attack was none other than Wang Baole. The moment the Eternal Star realm phantom rushed towards him, the Emperor’s Armor instantly appeared on his retreating body, and the Divine Armament materialized in his hand as he quickly turned around and slashed out.
Not only he, but even the masked girl, the scholarly cultivator, the bell girl, the black-clothed young man, and the rest of the hundreds of Chosen attacked with all their strength. Although it was basically impossible to kill the Eternal Star phantom, they could tie it down for a while!
This was especially so with the bell girl taking out a ring-shaped Dharmic Armament that turned into a seal and enveloped the surrounding area. As it gathered the power of the Chosen, an icy chill appeared, causing the temperature around the Eternal Star realm phantom to immediately plunge.
When all was said and done, none of these Chosen were ordinary Spirit Immortal cultivators. To some extent, it could be said that everyone here had strength comparable to a Planet realm cultivator!
As hundreds of people attacked it, the body of the Eternal Star realm phantom visibly shook and had to come to a stop. It was then frozen in place by the cold air all around, eventually turning into an ice sculpture emitting a colorful light.
Although it had Eternal Star realm cultivation, there still was a gap between the phantom and a real Eternal Star realm cultivator. But even so, all the Chosen’s efforts obviously wouldn’t be able to stop it for long; the ice was already cracking rapidly. It seemed that they had at most the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn before it broke free.
Therefore, while the phantom was frozen, the hundreds of Chosen all shot back in retreat without hesitation. They tried desperately to widen the distance between them and the plain of countless phantoms.
After all, in this situation, it was basically impossible to persist for seven days, let alone find an Illusory Crystal. Even the masked woman’s gang of four had gloomy eyes at this thought of fighting it out in this plain. They had to make the battlefield not just this plain, but the entire Illusory Planet.
That was the only way they would have a chance of victory.
But just as everyone was thinking rapidly and distancing from each other, a shrill scream echoed from the distance.
The scream sounded exceptionally miserable; even among the clamor of the battlefield, it was extremely clear, causing everyone to glance over. As their eyes fell on the scene, their expressions changed.
Wang Baole was also retreating rapidly, destroying everything around him as he swept his Divine Armament. However, when he glanced sideways at the location of the scream, his pupils suddenly contracted.
In his eyes, he saw a somewhat familiar Chosen, who had been set upon by dozens of phantoms, each of which was filled with greed as they madly devoured his flesh and blood!
The scream came not only from the pain of being devoured, but also from the torment of one’s soul being rent. What shocked Wang Baole the most, however, was the moment when a Planet realm phantom who was killed by the little girl rushed over at an extreme speed. It actually… directly shuttled through the Chosen’s body and ripped out his Divine Soul!
Holding the divine soul in its hand, the Planet Realm phantom’s expression was full of greed. It didn’t hesitate to put the soul into its mouth, swallowing it whole! The Chosen’s screams stopped as his soul was devoured, and his leftover body was instantly torn to pieces by a group of phantoms.
This scene was extremely tragic, and also a vision of what would happen to the rest of them if they were surrounded!
But at the moment when everyone’s expression changed, following the death of this Chosen, a small part of the surrounding phantoms suddenly disappeared like mist blown by the wind!
And looking carefully, it could be seen that the disappearing phantoms were all those who had been killed by the Chosen who had just died. Seeing this scene, a strange light suddenly appeared in everyone’s eyes!
“It turns out the natural laws are like this!”
“There is a hidden law in this Illusory Planet trial!”
“When someone dies, it will make the phantoms killed by that person disappear, thus reducing the difficulty!!”
Wang Baole came to the same conclusion almost immediately. In the next moment, his complexion changed drastically, and his body disappeared without a trace. As soon as he moved, all the Chosen who had realized this hidden law looked at him!
Their gazes were cold and murderous!
Fortunately, it wasn’t just Wang Baole who was targeted. Six other people caught everyone’s attention. These six people were the ones who had killed Planet Realm cultivators before.
It’s just that… after a moment of hesitation, the gazes focused on the scholarly cultivator, the bell girl, and that expert brother quickly dispersed. The masked woman also didn’t attract too much attention. Thus, the targets became the black-clothed youth and the little girl, as well as Wang Baole.
Without a background that could scare people off, even if these three all had strong combat power… for the sake of survival, they must be the targets!
Especially… when there were so many people to help out. This trial was related to everyone’s future prospects!
“Kill them! We can get rid of the Eternal Star Realm and more than thirty Planet Realms, along with who knows how many other phantoms!”
“Just by killing three people, the difficulty of this trial will be lowered by at least eighty percent!!”
There were a few people who immediately called out, which caused some of the Chosen to change directions and try to surround the trio. Seeing this, Wang Baole’s eyes flashed coldly, and he rapidly retreated without any hesitation. The same was true for the black-clothed young man with a big sword on his back.
A powerful baleful aura emanated from him as his body exploded with speed, fleeing into the distance. As for the little girl who looked soft and harmless, after she realized she was being targeted, her eyes showed a gloomy and cold light. Her reaction was completely different from that of Wang Baole and the young man in black…
Although she also retreated, her destination was clear—the Eternal Star realm phantom who had barely been trapped thanks to everyone’s joint effort. The moment she approached, she reached out and smacked the colorful ice sculpture, causing it to shatter immediately. With the destruction of the imprisoning ice, the power of Eternal Star realm cultivation exploded out and raged violently toward the surroundings. The little girl’s eyes flashed, and using some unknown method, she managed to make the phantom ignore her, charging past her and flaring its powerful cultivation base out toward everyone else.
Others couldn’t grasp what exactly happened, but Wang Baole’s pupils contracted violently at this scene.
“Underworld Law?!” Wang Baole’s breath slightly quickened. At that moment, although the fluctuations of the Underworld Law were extremely faint, as an Underworld Child, he could still detect them.
This made him slightly suspicious, but he didn’t have time to think about it. Just as Wang Baole was about to leave the battlefield… the bell girl suddenly looked at him from a distance. The corner of her mouth curled up, and she immediately changed direction to speed toward him.
At the same time, the scholarly cultivator also moved. His target was… the black-clothed youth. The masked woman also made her move, charging toward the little girl.
Those three weren’t the only ones who took action at that moment. The people scattered around them began to form an encirclement around Wang Baole and the other two, who were trying to retreat!
It’s just that the escape of the Eternal Star Realm phantom and the attack of more than fifty Planet Realm phantoms made the battlefield extremely chaotic. Although the idea of encircling was fine, actually putting it into practice was extremely difficult, especially since it was impossible for everyone to work together wholeheartedly!
Thus, as Wang Baole burst out with his full speed, he managed to break out of the battlefield area and even rammed away those who were trying to encircle him. However… the bell girl pursuing behind him wasn’t slow, either. Eventually, they left the range of the battlefield together.
