721 You Rans True Form! (1/2)

The singing voices of the three souls resonated in the heavens. The skies darkened, and devilish winds appeared out of nowhere and swept across the lands. They stirred the black mist that had emerged above ground due to the power of the Dark Artifact and had been spreading across the lands!

Spurred by the devilish winds, the black mist began to spread more rapidly across the Martian lands. They howled furiously. Everyone watched as the skies around Wang Baole transformed into an ocean of black mist!

It was an ocean of mist, a mist of death. It seemed to hail from the underworld. One might even venture to call it the Dark Sea!

The sea filled both the lands and the skies, its rumbling waves coursed through the planet. Mars became a mere shadow of its former self. The Dark Fires on Wang Baole flared up. If the path towards rebirth was lined with lighthouses, they would be the fire lighting up the lamps in those lighthouses—cold flames that burned true, that seemed to contain within them the laws of this universe.

They drove the Dark Sea to unleash its power again. Waves of spirit energy rushed forward, unstoppable and overpowering, at Daoist You Ran, threatening to pull him under!

Thunder crashed, fearsome and deafening!

Daoist You Ran tried his best to escape the Dark Sea, whose power was so great it stirred the entire planet, but it was useless. Shock and despair raced through his mind. He screamed and struggled madly, trying his best to fight back.

The waves of the Dark Sea towered like pillars, ready to crash down and flood everything. As they descended on Daoist You Ran, he blew up every face on his body in a last-ditch attempt at self-defense. In that instant, he was like a fragile air bubble, helpless and vulnerable, bursting instantly!

The force of the explosion of all those faces created a backlash inside Daoist You Ran's body. Blood flowed from his lips, and his hair, loosened and disheveled, whipped in the fierce wind. His clothes were torn, his eyes were bright with despair and madness, and his voice was sharp and brimming with hate and resentment.

”Wang Baole, I don't admit defeat!” Daoist You Ran roared and gave up all attempts at escape. His right foot stomped heavily into the ground, holding him in place as his six arms came together in a flurry of hand seals. He was burning his very life in order to gain more power. He was going to fight until his last breath.

He unleashed a hundred and twenty percent of his full cultivation, and the irregularly shaped shard in his eyes appeared again. This precious shard, clearly invaluable to him, began showing signs of self-destruction!

There was no doubt of the extreme danger that Wang Baole had placed him in. It had exceeded any other danger he had ever experienced. He threw everything to the wind as he hoped for the best—that luck would allow him to survive the onslaught of the Dark Sea.

A series of booms thundered in the air. Daoist You Ran continued to hold his ground, proving the extent of his resilience and strength in the face of extreme danger. As he continued to unleash his cultivation and sacrifice his vitality, the irregularly shaped shard in his eyes continued to show itself. It was as if the shard had transformed into an enormous rock that stood before him, protecting him from the waves of the Dark Sea rushing at him. The waves stopped before him, as if held back by the rock. They couldn't advance and pull him under!

Everyone who was watching the fight shivered at the sight. The powers that Wang Baole had displayed had been incredible, so the fact that Daoist You Ran was still alive and holding his own was simply unbelievable. However, the reality was that… Daoist You Ran himself was reaching his limits. His body shuddered violently as cracks began to appear on his arms. The Dark Sea pressed upon him with the weight of an entire planet. He feared that he couldn't hold on any longer.

”Since you won't allow me to take your spirit, I'll simply have to destroy you.” Wang Baole remained calm as he stood on the Dark Sampan and observed Daoist You Ran's struggles. As he spoke in a hoarse voice, he raised his right arm, which was holding onto the Lantern Oar. The Lantern Oar pointed at Daoist You Ran, then swept downwards through the air!

The Dark Sea retreated from the invisible barrier in front of Daoist You Ran instantly. Its waves rose into the heavens, shifting and transforming into a finger, followed by a second, then a third. In the blink of an eye… a palm spanning tens of thousands of feet materialized in the air!

It swiped at Daoist You Ran!

Daoist You Ran's eyes widened, they were red and filled with intense despair.

”Mistress Zi Yue, please, save me!” Daoist You Ran screamed out in fear. It didn't matter how much he struggled, the enormous hand approached him and landed with a deafening thunder. Daoist You Ran's six arms turned into mush, and his legs caved in from the impact.

There wasn't even time for him to scream out again. The huge hand rushed at him once more… instantly capturing Daoist You Ran.

It tightened suddenly. Daoist You Ran's combat body, and his soul housed within the body… were instantly destroyed!

The fight hadn't ended yet. An intense light flashed in Wang Baole's eyes. This wasn't the first time Daoist You Ran had died. Wang Baole knew very well that his battle with Daoist You Ran had just begun!
