116 A Fake? (2/2)
This time, the blinding glow still emerged from within the array formation canal, but the turbulence of the surrounding fog came continuously. The vibrations of the ground caused the glow to slightly shift, and even though most of the forty puppets had been decimated, two of them successfully crossed the screen of light and landed within the array formation.
The instant that they were within the array formation, Wang Baole rushed out quickly, his speed boosted by the Spirit thread. Following close to the two puppets on safe ground, he also crossed into the array formation and appeared within it!
When he landed, Wang Baole's heart rate increased significantly, and he was extremely agitated.
I'm in!
Wang Baole was exhilarated, and looking at the staircase-like altar not far away from him, a fire lit up in his eyes. The devouring seed within his body erupted once more, resulting in the emergence of the suction force again. This time, the distance moved by the four corpses visibly increased, but the long, blue spear still stayed in place!
Wang Baole frowned, and after making some estimations on the distance, he gritted his teeth as he prepared to act again. He then controlled the two puppets beside him, using them as test subjects.
After confirming that it was safe, he followed closely behind and soon neared the altar with the two puppets. Noticing that the numerous symbols and inscriptions on the steps of the altar were flashing, Wang Baole did not dare to approach it anymore. That was especially so after one of the puppets that he was controlling was instantly decimated by the glow from the altar the moment he controlled it to leap onto it. This made Wang Baole nervous.
I can't advance further.
In the silence, Wang Baole controlled his last puppet to leap into the air. Without even blinking, he saw that it was similarly decimated when it jumped to a height of fifty feet.
Wang Baole's face was awful. He felt that the magnetic force and the pulling force on his body was getting stronger—he knew that he did not have much time left. He raised his head to look at the long, blue spear above the altar and squatted down with his eyes narrowed.
After a short moment, using the remaining energy in his body, Wang Baole roared as he stepped hard on the ground. His body instantly leaped into the air, and controlling his power, he immediately retrieved a flying sword and positioned it beneath his feet at a height of fifty feet.
To people in the Ancient Martial Arts realm, standing in midair was not possible. However, to a True Breath cultivator, that was possible for a short time with the assistance of Dharmic artifacts. Right now, Wang Baole was executing just that. He stepped on the flying sword, and the moment he paused, the devouring seed within his body erupted fully, sucking the long, blue spear directly.
”Come to me!”
With a loud boom, the four corpses were pulled toward Wang Baole due to the strong suction force. However, even though the long, blue spear quivered slightly as well, it was not sucked toward Wang Baole. Instead, it began warping, and signs of it self-destructing began to appear as it turned translucent!
What's going on? Wang Baole was taken aback. Very quickly, in front of his eyes, the long spear grew increasingly translucent. In the end, as if it had been warped away, it disappeared at lightning speed.
It seemed as if the long, blue spear was an imaginary image. Under Wang Baole's suction force, it grew unsteady and dissipated.
Is it not real? Wang Baole rubbed his eyes, and after looking at everything closely, he was dumbfounded.
Damn it! I put in so much effort, and it turned out to be a fake? Putting a fake spear here is deceit, and you'll get your retribution! Wang Baole cursed angrily as his body descended.
However, the instant that he reached the ground, a blue bead where the long spear had disappeared flew directly toward Wang Baole!
Wang Baole's pupils constricted, and after grabbing it, the impact of the approaching bead formed a impactful force that forced Wang Baole to step back. At the same time, the magnetic field surrounding his body also grew stronger, pulling his body swiftly backward.
I'll accept the bead as well! Wang Baole was extremely surprised, and seeing how he was being pulled backward by the magnetic field, he immediately unleashed his devouring seed, pulling in the four corpses backward together with him.
The returns are decent! Wang Baole was exhilarated, and his body was pulled into the space above the array formation canal. He was nervous, but he managed to pass right through it, unsure whether it was because of the bead or the corpses that were shielding him.
Wang Baole heaved a sigh of relief and unleashed the suction force using his devouring seed again, sucking the pail and all his treasures toward him.
However, right at this moment, an anomaly occurred!
