330 Emotional Fatigue (1/2)
While the donkey was feeling confused, Wang Baole's secret chamber rotted at an increasing speed. At the same time, the cries and howling that seemed to stem from the gathering of supreme beings grew even louder. It appeared as if in the darkness of the situation, a force had arrived, disrupting Wang Baole's cultivation. However, it was too far away to make a significant impact.
In this manner, time passed slowly, and two weeks came and went!
In these two weeks, Wang Baole sat motionlessly with his legs crossed. His body had already stiffened, and his breathing had disappeared. His entire body was covered in frost, and he was like a corpse, such that he wasn't able to feel anything, even the fire of life.
During one late night after the two weeks had gone by, Wang Baole, who was sitting with his legs crossed suddenly jerked, his eyes opening slowly. The instant he opened his eyes, the frost on his body rapidly disappeared, and the decay in the surroundings vanished. Everything returned to what it was before, and the cries and howling stopped immediately.
As everything returned to normal, Wang Baole's eyes were completely open!
The moment he opened his eyes, a chilly cold vibe that was extremely imposing erupted directly from his eyes and his body. If an acquaintance of Wang Baole stood before him now, they would be extremely shocked, and might not be able to recognize him.
However, in reality… This was the real Wang Baole that had emerged from his experiences in the sea of corpses in the Mystic Luna Realm!
He typically showcased another side of his personality to others. He preferred to showcase an optimistic side of himself in order to hide the viciousness entrenched in his character. At the same time, the pupil of Wang Baole's left eye was now replaced by the Dark Fire!
As he silently looked at his surroundings and felt the Dark Fire in his eyes, Wang Baole didn't move. Instead, he shut his eyes, and when he reopened them again, the chilliness from his body, as well as the Dark Fire in his left eye, had vanished, hidden by him.
”So… This is the Dark Art…” Wang Baole murmured under his breath. He couldn't consider himself competent in the Dark Art, thinking that he was more like a beginner in it.
However, even as a beginner, Wang Baole still felt a feeling he had never experienced before. He couldn't describe the feeling with words. He just felt as if… life and death weren't endpoints, but a transition process.
”I'm still a little confused…” Wang Baole couldn't find the right words to describe his feelings. As he murmured to himself, he thought about Little Missy. The fact that she managed to master the technique within a month showed her abilities, and that made Wang Baole envious.
Seems like I can't be too proud in the future. One should always be humble and learn earnestly. Wang Baole took a deep breath and took out the mask before directly entering the Hallucination realm.
After he entered the Hallucination realm, Wang Baole looked around but didn't see Little Missy. However, he was used to this and therefore stood there, exclaiming loudly.
”Little Missy, I have a question that I would like to ask.”
”Erm… When the Dark Fire appeared, I felt a bizarre feeling, as if I could control life and death. However, it seemed a little ambiguous, and I can't describe it… It feels like a calling from far away? I'm not too sure myself. Also, there's a weird voice that I keep hearing. When you first mastered the technique, did you experience all this as well?” Wang Baole was asking earnestly and sincerely this time, as he wanted to know the reason. He felt that if he could get a clearer understanding of what was happening, it would be helpful for him if he were to advance in his cultivation.
When he finished asking, Wang Baole was about to step forward to see if words that explained the situation had appeared on the mask. However, even before he lowered his head, he heard a voice, one that was incredulous, confused, and shocked.
”What did you say! Dark Fire?” As the voice reverberated, Little Missy instantly appeared beside Wang Baole. Her eyes stared wide and round, and her breathing quickened.
Noticing that Little Missy had appeared, and was looking so appalled, Wang Baole was also shocked. He thought about whether something had gone wrong with his cultivation. Therefore, he hurriedly spoke.
”Little Missy, was my cultivation process wrong?”
”Did you just say that you managed to cultivate to the stage where the Dark Fire appeared?” Little Missy disregarded Wang Baole's question. Right now, she began inquiring, still looking anxious.
”Yes, I managed to do it. Ah, I'm not talented enough. I only managed to succeed after a year.” Wang Baole sighed. He really meant every word that he said.
After he spoke, Wang Baole closed his eyes, as he felt that in front of a senior elite of the Dark Art like Little Missy, he was like a child. When he reopened his eyes, Dark Fire flames appeared in his left eye.
The appearance of the Dark Fire immediately caused the already cold surroundings to turn even colder. A chilly vibe, under the boost provided by the Dark Fire, erupted from Wang Baole's body.
Little Missy was extremely taken aback. She stepped back immediately and hollered.
”Extinguish it immediately!” She was shocked. She felt frightened by the emergence of the Dark Fire, as if it were an innate restraint.
She looked at Wang Baole as if she was looking at a monster. Her emotions were complex, and she was about to break out in a scolding.
Hearing Little Missy's command, Wang Baole hurriedly closed his eyes. When he opened them once again, the Dark Fire had vanished. However, Little Missy's reaction made him confused.
