643 Another Dark Art! (1/2)

The short string of words wasn't some silly poem, they represented six divine powers!

Divine powers weren't like ordinary spells, they made use of nomological laws and the powers that governed the universe. That was why only powerful cultivators could harness the power of divine powers. In addition, that was also why every divine power passed down the generations was so powerful.

It should have been impossible for Wang Baole to grasp or master the six divine powers through the remnant divine consciousness. This was similar to what he had experienced in the Dark Dream. He had read up on many spells and several divine powers. However, his level of cultivation then had prevented him from mastering them. That had been his greatest limitation.

Such limitations still existed. However, Wang Baole had found a way around them through Dharmic Armaments. By fusing the six divine consciousness remnants successfully into Artifact Souls, he had managed to seal six divine powers into the respective six beads. These beads served as a medium through which he could overcome the limitations of his cultivation. With the beads as a medium and the Artifact Souls as a catalyst, he could now expend less of his cultivation to unleash the power of these divine powers!

Of course, the reduction in cultivation expended was relative. To an extremely powerful cultivator, it was insignificant. To Wang Baole, it was still a sizable degree of cultivation. Nevertheless, it was still within the realm of reason!

Emotions flashed across his face as he lowered his head and studied the bracelet around his wrist. He could feel the power nestled within them as well as the six Artifact Souls resting inside his head. A strange light flickered in his eyes.

Each bead contains a divine power!

Wang Baole had not expected that. No matter how one looked at it, this was a perfect refinement. Wang Baole knew very well the significance behind the bracelet. His knowledge of Dharmic Armaments, as well as his personal hand in refining the item, had led him to that awareness. The bracelet's significance wasn't in allowing him to unleash the six divine powers. If that had been its sole benefit, it would be useless after the first few usages. The beads would slowly crack and turn to dust after repeated use, the divine powers lost to the winds.

The value of this bracelet lies in the opportunity it's given me to understand the divine powers it contains. I can do that repeatedly until I master the divine powers and make them truly mine!

Wang Baole took a deep breath and then looked around. The red worms were all hovering around, swaying. However, ever since he had put on the bracelet, their hostility had lessened significantly. They seemed to submit to a certain aura present on his person.

Wang Baole realized that this place might be one of the rare safe harbors in this world filled with corpses.

He let loose a sigh of relief secretly. He didn't hasten to leave. Instead, he looked at the bracelet again, then shut his eyes. His mind drifted away. Led by the Dark Fire, it entered the first star-shaped bead.

His vision blurred instantly. When it cleared, he saw the skies transformed into a starlit night. Hanging in the heavens was a gigantic planet.

A battle had just erupted on the planet, and he seemed to be able to see everything happening on the planet. The planet belonged to the Dark Sect. Countless Never-Ending Clan members were engaged in a fierce battle with the disciples of the Dark Sect!

Beyond the planet, in the pitch-black night sky, an enormous hand slowly materialized. It was covered with inscriptions. Each of its five fingers seemed to be a prison for a fearsome demon, with an appearance that was gruesome beyond measure. The enormous hand stretched across the heavens and made a grab for the planet!

The planet rumbled and shook violently. The Never-Ending Clan members on the planet froze instantly, their physical forms immobilized as their souls were yanked out from their bodies. The spirits gathered and formed a Dark River that rushed towards the heavens, into space, and towards the gigantic hand!

That was Soul Guiding!

Wang Baole was shaken to the core. His jolted awake, and his breath quickened as he stared at the star-shaped bead that contained Soul Guiding. He couldn't stop the racing of his heart. This Soul Guiding technique was another version of the Soul Guidance Glove. In fact, it seemed to be what the Soul Guidance Glove was capable of when pushed to the extreme.

He had read of the various ways of maximizing the impact of the Soul Guidance Glove in various records in the Dark Dream, but Soul Guiding hadn't been one of them. Wang Baole suddenly realized that even though each faction in the Dark Sect might originate from the same essence, every single one of them had developed divine powers unique to their own faction.
