718 Im Not Going to Repair It Anymore! (2/2)

”Is that an avatar? That means that your true form should be in the vicinity as well!” Daoist You Ran's voice was laced with ice and hate. As his words echoed in the air, he charged forward, his form a blur as he approached Wang Baole!

Wang Baole's avatar retreated hastily, his hands forming a flurry of hand seals. A beast corpse appeared on either side of him instantly. The eyes of the beast on the right suddenly glowed bright red, and its jaw fell open as it let loose a furious roar. The beast charged forward and lunged at Daoist You Ran!

Green flames enveloped the Star Fang Beast puppet as it dashed out. It was a fire that was different from what the beast would have given off when it had still been alive, and different from the Dark Fire as well. It appeared to be a fire that was born out of the two, one that resembled both and yet neither. Regardless, there was no doubt of its power. The beast transformed into a great sphere of fire as it lunged at its target!

The same happened to the Star Fang Beast puppet on Wang Baole's left. Both Star Fang Beast puppets charged at Daoist You Ran, cornering him from both sides. The collision was almost immediate, and the air boomed with deafening thunder. The joint attack of the twin Star Fang Beast puppets was trouble even for Daoist You Ran. He frowned. The beasts had been at the Spirit Immortal realm prior to their deaths. That meant that their physical forms would be extremely strong and a force to be reckoned with.

That wasn't the only thing that Daoist You Ran had to be wary of. He could avoid their physical attacks by teleportation and continue his pursuit of Wang Baole. However, just as he raised his right hand in a wave and was about to teleport himself away, Wang Baole suddenly formed a hand seal. The two beasts roared, and green flames surged from their bodies. They appeared to be using their own bodies as fuel. The flames transformed into a sea of fire that spread out and enveloped the area!

Two spheres of fire merged together, forming an ocean that enveloped the entire region. It sealed the area and prevented one from teleporting!

Everything happened within an instant. As the flames surged from the beasts' bodies, light flashed across the eyes of Wang Baole's avatar as his eyes formed a series of hand seals. Black flames erupted from his body, fanning outwards and, together with the sea of green fire, trapped Daoist You Ran within!

That wasn't the end of it. As the flames enveloped Daoist You Ran, a low, booming voice thundered, igniting another round of transformation in the sea of fire!

”Seal!”

With that single booming command, the eleven spears, which had been held back by the seal, suddenly released a dazzling light. They pierced the seal, swung in the opposite direction in a swift arc, and unleashed a burst of sudden speed. They appeared almost instantly around Daoist You Ran, hovering beyond the flames, spread out in a circle around him. Then, like spears skewering a caged basket, they descended into the sea of fire, their simultaneous attacks unleashing a thunderous eruption in the sea!

This was all part of Wang Baole's plan. He knew that his avatar wasn't Daoist You Ran's match. That was why he had only one aim from the start of this battle. It involved sacrificing his avatar so that he could seal Daoist You Ran and buy himself more time!

The eleven spears landed, then began spinning furiously, releasing their full power and transforming that into a suppressive force that sent the sea of fire boiling. The sea of fire reached unbelievable temperatures. The surrounding air began to distort, like living creatures contorting in pain as they were burned in the extreme heat!

Wang Baole had planned everything meticulously, and his plan had unfolded smoothly. Too easily. Wang Baole was surprised by the turn of events. His gut told him that something was wrong.

It was then that an enormous arm shot out from the sea of fire and grabbed one of the spears. Covering the arm were countless faces devoid of emotion. It was a terrifying sight to behold. The arm yanked fiercely and shattered the spear!

The spear's destruction thundered in the air, and terrifying laughter emerged from the flames. Another arm, as well as an enormous head, rose from the fire!

It both looked like Daoist You Ran and looked nothing like Daoist You Ran. The two heads and four arms that had been destroyed by the Night Immortal King were fully healed and even appeared stronger than before. Countless faces covered the surface of his arms and heads!

”I knew you would be up to your tricks again. That's why I sacrificed ten thousand Never-Ending Clan puppets before I arrived on this planet. The sacrifice healed my body and brought me to the peak of my physical condition. In fact, it made me stronger than before. I now contain the vitality of ten thousand souls. How… are you going to defeat me now?” Daoist You Ran's voice was filled with triumph as it thundered in the heavens. He dashed out, and in an instant, the spears surrounding him shattered. Waves of fire surged outward and exposed his fearsome form!

At that exact moment, Wang Baole, who was still sitting within the Dark Artifact, finally opened his eyes. They were bright with determination.

”Since there's no time to repair it fully… let's just not do it then!”
