662 Thearch Collapse! (1/2)

He had to wing it, there was no way around it!

Wang Baole wasn't a coward. This had been proven time and again from the various encounters he had survived in the Federation. Hidden beneath his mild exterior was a character that was brutal to his enemies and even harsher to himself!

Wang Baole's eyes were filled with madness as he watched Daoist You Ran unleash his attack at him. He knew that with his current level of cultivation, there was no way he could fully unleash the Rebirth Severing and Five Punishments techniques, even after absorbing the spirit energy from the Death Dao Battle Robes.

It was impossible to unleash them here and use them as his final trump card, so he had only one option left!

It was… the Flame Snatch Thearch Armor!

His armor might have shattered, but Wang Baole still had one ultimate technique that was his trump card. It was his greatest gain since his arrival on the ancient sword!

That was… the Thearch Collapse!

It wasn't as simple as blowing his armor up but a technique inherent in the Thearch Armor inheritance. The practitioner was to sacrifice the Thearch Armor that he had painstakingly cultivated, compress said cultivation using a special method, and unleash a terrifying power that was beyond imaginable.

This power would shake the heavens and unleash an indescribable force against both the caster and the target. Wang Baole wouldn't have resorted to such madness in normal circumstances, but he was left with no other options.

Death was inevitable if he tried to run. If he wasn't going to wing it and fight for his life now… when then was he going to do it?

These thoughts flashed past Wang Baole's mind as he sent all his cultivation into the Flame Snatch Thearch Armor without hesitation. He also activated the full power contained within the armor itself!

He sent his will into the armor, unleashing his full cultivation and his full potential. His body, which had slimmed down, shrank to skin and bones rapidly!

The light in his eyes grew brighter all this while, as did the light emanating from his armor—it shone like a star. As Daoist You Ran drew closer, Wang Baole shouted!

”Armor Removal!”

The roar thundered and sent the entire cavern shaking. The brightly shining armor on Wang Baole separated from his body and reassembled into a huge cube made of flesh and blood meridians before him!

It looked like a box made of ligaments and tendons. Blood-colored meridians circled inside, forming a sphere that wrapped around the Divine Armament skeletal arm. The appearance of the cube sent the abyss surrounding it shattering into pieces as waves of terrifying spirit energy surged outwards.

The waves of spirit energy were so powerful that even Daoist You Ran was taken aback. His pupils contracted, and his heart raced. He abandoned all thought of testing Wang Baole, retreating hurriedly and evading the brilliant light.

He clearly felt threatened by the waves of spirit energy emanating from Wang Baole's Flame Snatch Thearch Armor. They felt different from the earlier spirit energy that had been released. Less powerful, but more real.

It was as if… one was distant and the other up close and personal. One was the invisible explosion of a star while the other, the collapse of the ground beneath one's feet!

Both made his heart race fearfully. The latter left a greater impact due to the visual shock!

Daoist You Ran retreated almost instinctively. It was too late though. He had forced Wang Baole into a corner, and Wang Baole wasn't going to let him go so easily. Besides, Wang Baole knew that this was the only chance he was going to get!
