654 The Sky Collapses! (1/2)

Refining a pill required materials, heat, as well as the know-how. However, he was a master of refining artifacts. He trapped the elder with his lightning and continuously sent electricity into the Never-Ending Clan elder's body. He was burning and refining his flesh and blood like he would an artifact!

The brutality of his method rivaled that of refining a living person into a pill.

Wang Baole was furious, but he had not yet lost his reason because of his anger. He was refining only the elder's physical body. When the elder's physical form had been turned to ashes by his terrifying lightning, Wang Baole's right hand, formed from lightning, made a grab at the pile of ashes. It returned with a Nascent Soul in its grasp!

The Nascent Soul was the elder's, severely weakened and infused with the elder's soul, ready to dissipate any moment!

His current level of cultivation wasn't powerful enough for him to search the soul. However, with the Dark Art's secret techniques, he was confident of being able to force some information out of the soul. That being said, he would be doing so with his avatar instead of his true self, which posed a degree of difficulty.

The Never-Ending Clan elder might be weak, but the hatred and resignation in his eyes indicated clearly that he wasn't going to spill anything to Wang Baole easily.

Wang Baole's right hand crackled with lightning, and he conducted a round of interrogation without any results to show for it. After that, he didn't waste any more time on the elder. He sealed the elder with his Lightning Immortal Transformation and flung the sealed soul to Zhao Yameng.

Zhao Yameng had recovered partially after taking a few pills and some rest. She formed a series of hand seals and imprinted a few runes on the soul before storing it away in her storage bag.

Then, they looked at each other. They could see the solemnity in each others' eyes.

”I got separated from Elder Feng Qiuran and the others when the unexpected happened inside the millstone. I didn't manage to locate them…” Zhao Yameng said softly. She looked at Wang Baole. She clearly had many questions on her mind, especially about why Wang Baole was only here in the form of an avatar.

”I was hidden inside one of the millstone's cracks…” Wang Baole took a deep breath, looked around cautiously, then told Zhao Yameng everything that had happened to him as well as why his avatar was here.

Zhao Yameng listened to his discovery about the third level and the huge pillar that existed underground with a grave expression on her face. It was clear that she was reeling with shock. What was even more shocking was Wang Baole's sharing of the Never-Ending Clan battle robes and his discovery that they were on a Death Dao Battleship!

The discovery was beyond anything Zhao Yameng had imagined. Her face turned pale, though her eye remained clear and untainted by confusion or bewilderment. She took a deep breath, and a flicker of light flashed across her eyes before words rushed out from her lips.

”Baole, you have to find Feng Qiuran and let her know the truth!

”It's clear that there are Never-Ending Clan cultivators hidden in the Dao Palace. The elder was just one of them… this is an extremely serious matter. It's going to affect the entire Dao Palace… as well as the Federation!”

”Baole, if my guess is correct, a war between the Never-Ending Clan and the Federation… is going to happen soon! The Federation is completely unaware of this threat. That will be its greatest disadvantage!” Zhao Yameng's face was completely drained of color at that point. Wang Baole had a dark look on his face as well. He shared her views. In fact, his understanding of their situation might be more well-informed.

Wang Baole narrowed his eyes after hearing her out. Then, he said, ”Yameng, you're good with array formations. If I can weaken the interference that this place is transmitting, will you be able to make use of that and activate a teleportation?

”If you can do that, then we must immediately seize the opportunity and escape back to the Dao Palace. We have to inform Sect Lord Xu and the others and get them to return to the Federation as soon as possible. The Federation has to be notified immediately so that they can prepare themselves!”

Zhao Yameng knew the gravity of the situation. She considered his words, then nodded.
