658 Ten Thousand Tribulations and a Thousand Lives! (2/2)
It was then that Wang Baole lifted his head suddenly and spoke!
”Ten Thousand Tribulations!”
As soon as the words left Wang Baole's mouth, one of the star-shaped beads threaded around his right wrist, which had been glowing black, flared brightly. Out flew a black dove!
It expanded to the size of the Thearch Armor, casting a shadow over everything and charging towards the approaching Daoist You Ran!
The raging, charging Daoist You Ran hadn't considered Wang Baole a worthy foe at all. At that moment though, he couldn't help but shiver when he saw the black dove!
He felt as if his soul had been immobilized, and he couldn't move or evade the attack. He was powerless to fight it. This feeling of helplessness surged inside him, alongside a chill whose origin he couldn't explain.
He didn't hesitate as he formed a series of hand seals and pointed his finger forward. Black Qi materialized in the air before him, transforming into a statue of a Never-Ending Clan cultivator that attempted to crush the black dove. A bizarre sight happened next. Upon collision, the black dove vanished into thin air, without signs of having been injured. But… just as it disappeared, the imprint of a black dove appeared on Daoist You Ran's forehead!
It didn't hurt or itch at all, but Daoist You Ran was still shocked by its appearance. He felt an indescribable sense of danger emanating from the imprint. What came along with that was a sudden resistance that unexpectedly rose from inside the golden lake, inside the pillar, from the walls around him, and even the Death Dao Battle Robes that were still being drained by Wang Baole!
The hostile force erupted, ignoring Wang Baole and flooding Daoist You Ran. Everything within this cavern suddenly saw Daoist You Ran as an enemy!
The golden lake suddenly exploded, and broken limbs flew out, charging at Daoist You Ran. The pillar spasmed, and countless broken fingers darted out and headed for Daoist You Ran as well.
That wasn't the end of it all. The walls around began to peel and crack, fragmenting into rocks that flung themselves at Daoist You Ran!
Daoist You Ran reeled back in shock from the sudden danger and the bizarre and ridiculous situation he found himself in.
He unleashed his full cultivation. With a wave of his arms, he transformed himself into a black tornado that flung the approaching broken limbs, broken fingers, and shattered stone away. Then, he continued his charge towards Wang Baole.
His actions seemed to have angered the manifestation of the Ten Thousand Tribulations technique. The black dove on his forehead shone and opened its eyes suddenly. The retaliatory force surrounding him intensified and erupted, and a sudden force erupted from the battle robes and swept across the cavern. Daoist You Ran shuddered, disbelief and shock coloring his face as he stumbled back from the invisible attack.
This was Wang Baole's first attempt at activating Ten Thousand Tribulations. He was shocked at the sight before him. Without hesitation, he unleashed the divine power in the second bead!
”A Thousand Lives!”
The second star-shaped bead flared with a brilliant light. A familiar warmth surged throughout Wang Baole's body as a dove-shaped print appeared on his forehead, a sign of how much more powerful this particular unleashing of the technique was compared to its past activations!
Wang Baole felt warm all over, and a sense of acceptance and benevolence surrounded him.
The change was most startling where the Death Dao Battle Robes were concerned. Just a while earlier, Wang Baole had experienced resistance as it had tried to prohibit him from draining it dry. Wang Baole had to activate his devouring seed and forcibly absorb its spirit energy. Now though… the resistance had vanished completely. It didn't seem hostile at all, and it was instead welcoming towards Wang Baole!
The transformation shocked Wang Baole. He was overcome with mad joy the next instant. Excitement colored his eyes, and his spirits soared as surprise and delight overwhelmed him!
”Little You-You, know what this place is? You're… in your daddy's house now. Watch how I'm going to teach you a lesson!”
