826 Suppression by a Planet Realm! (2/2)
Although it was just his essence body, once it died, it would have a huge impact on his true body as well. So Wang Baole let out a low growl and tried to resist. If his true body were there, he could potentially have activated the power of his true devouring seed and essence scabbard. However, the essence body was just a projection of everything in his body.
Could it be that my essence body is going to die here? Anxious, Wang Baole dispersed his body as he prepared to escape in his mist form. However, there was still no use in using his mist form. Under the suppression, he was forced to gather and form his essence body again.
In fact, half of his body seemed to be about to dissipate and showed signs of being destroyed.
Seeing how Wang Baole was unable to resist for much longer, the earth suddenly trembled. From where the sacrificial altar was, the elder sitting in front of the Never-Ending Clan Planet realm cultivator acted. The elder's eyes were closed and were unable to be opened, seemingly due to a seal. Despite that, his body trembled, and he unleashed an unknown technique and squeezed out a spurt of power, sending it towards Wang Baole.
Immediately after, the spurt of power became a source of support and defense. It formed a ray of defense and helped Wang Baole resist the suppression coming from the Planet realm army commander's Divine Sense.
Loud rumbles spread around Wang Baole, and the defense became a weak light shield. This gave Wang Baole, who was struggling to withstand the suppression, some breathing space. As he panted, an anxious and ancient voice sounded in his ear.
”Foreigner, I am the patriarch of this Dao Planet. My clan was executed by the Never-Ending Clan, and the planet in my body is being refined by that Never-Ending Clan heretic cultivator. I can only protect you for a while, and I can't sustain it for long. Helping me… is akin to helping yourself now!”
”How do I help?” At this moment, Wang Baole didn't need to deliberate at all. There was only one path in front of him. If he wanted to prevent his essence body from dying, he had to help this man who claimed to be the planet's patriarch.
”Come to me, step onto the sacrificial altar, and extinguish a sealing lamp!”
Very quickly, viciousness flashed between Wang Baole's eyes. He didn't believe the elder. Nonetheless, he still had to take a look at the sacrificial altar. Even if he were to die there, he still wanted to see who wished to kill him!
As for the position of the sacrificial altar, although Wang Baole hadn't been there before, his previous sensing and the guiding he received now made his mind very clear. So after gritting his teeth, Wang Baole raised his right foot and stepped towards the land. As rumbles sounded, he turned into mist and headed underground, traveling along the cracks in the ground.
He traveled as quickly as he could the entire way. The suppression from the Planet realm cultivator's Divine Sense had a faint sense of anxiousness and frenzy and increased in power, but at the same time, the protective force coming from the other person was transferred towards Wang Baole at that moment, resisting the suppressive force.
Although the resistance couldn't form an absolute defense, Wang Baole himself wasn't a weakling and could resist the suppression to a certain extent. At most, when receiving heavy damage, he would spit out a mouthful of essence gas. But under his astonishing speed, the mist he turned into quickly permeated underground and finally arrived at… the underground cave deep within the planet!
As rumbles sounded and Wang Baole's silhouette formed, he saw the magma in his surroundings and felt the extremely high temperature of the area. He also saw… the tower-shaped sacrificial altar in the center of the magma!
And… the two people meditating cross-legged atop the sacrificial altar!
An elder had his dantian ripped open and was surrounded by a rainbow.
A middle-aged man had a savage expression. Behind him, the Never-Ending Clan's essence disappeared and reappeared again!
As Wang Baole saw them, their respective identities were already very clear to him. He also saw the ancient bronze lamps exuding an ethereal glimmer placed on each of the sacrificial altar's three corners!
