The shockwaves it created turned into a destructive storm that swept in all directions. Wang Baole’s pupils shrunk. Being daring enough to give chase, he naturally knew the explosive power of a Planet realm that was forced to self-destruct. So, as his opponent self-destructed, Wang Baole rapidly weaved hand seals with both hands and unleashed all the power of the Emperor Armor. While retreating, he also activated the Divine Justice Shield and took out the twelve emperor puppets and extra Dharmic Battleships from his storage bag. Even the sealed Shan Lingzi, who couldn’t resist, was taken out to defend him!

At that moment, he wasn’t worried about being identified. While the full power of the Demonic Eye Art was unleashed, Dark Fire dispersed in the surroundings and formed a giant black fireball.

All that setup was completed in the blink of an eye. In the next moment, the impact from Dan Zhouzi’s self-destruction exploded forth in the cosmos. Looking from afar, the self-destruction formed a light that became extremely resplendent. As rumbles sounded, Wang Baole’s body retreated more quickly, but it was still engulfed within it.

The Dark Fire burnt for about three breaths before dissipating, and the demonic eye was also sustained for three breaths. Afterward, the twelve emperor puppets’ souls were stored away in time, though their bodies were wiped out. They held on for two breaths. Then, Shan Lingzi was forced to self-destruct in exchange for two breaths, but his soul was also pulled away by Wang Baole in time!

That way, the impact of Dan Zhouzi’s self-destruction was resisted by Wang Baole, with him barely taking any damage during that ten breaths. The impact only hit Wang Baole after that. That meant that he used external power to neutralize most of the self-destruction’s power. Although the remaining impact still damaged him, it didn’t deal much damage.

And as a cold glint shone in Wang Baole’s eyes, he raised his right hand and gathered the Dark Fire again. Sounds of complicated chants spread, and after they gathered, they formed an imposing sound that echoed through the cosmos.

“Dark Art, Soul Guidance!” The sound turned into invisible waves that ignored the disturbances of Dan Zhouzi’s self-destruction as they swept and spread towards the surroundings. Meanwhile, an illusory shadow appeared in the southeast direction as the waves engulfed it!

The illusory shadow was Dan Zhouzi’s soul, which was making use of the self-destruction to escape!

“Impossible! You, you… you’re someone from the Dark Sect!” Dan Zhouzi’s expression completely changed as intense disbelief and desperation appeared in his eyes. While he let out a shrill cry, it was also difficult for him to escape as Wang Baole grabbed with his right hand. He was bound by the waves that quickly gathered from the surroundings, and no matter how he struggled, it had no effect. In the next moment, he was pulled in front of Wang Baole and grabbed by him!

Killing a Planet realm really does take quite a bit of effort. Wang Baole humphed and looked at Dan Zhouzi’s soul in his hands. Although the soul looked illusory, it was still similar to Dan Zhouzi’s appearance. At the same time, it also gave him a feeling of highly concentrated soul power.

As for Dan Zhouzi’s soul, which was bound by the Dark Art, it couldn’t struggle at all. He also couldn’t self-destruct his soul and even slipped into a coma slowly. It seemed that under the Dark Art, all his resistance was futile.

Wang Baole observed for a while. After all, this was his first time capturing a Planet realm cultivator’s soul. He also sensed that a pulling force seemed to exist deep within the cosmos that seemed to want to take away the soul. It was just that the pulling force wasn’t very powerful and was disrupted by the Dark Art, so Wang Baole could still resist it.

But he had a gut feeling that if he didn’t attack using his Dark Art and destroyed the soul, the pulling force would have increased infinitely in the next moment until it sucked away the soul he destroyed. If all conditions were met, it would still be possible for Dan Zhouzi to revive several years later.

But if his soul was wiped away by the Dark Art, that possibility would disappear.
