He had a feeling that Shan Lingzi must be hiding something and that saying that the bottle only worked half the time was only a lie to hoodwink him. Even though the chances of Shan Lingzi lying were really slim, the fact that the bottle hadn’t worked angered Wang Baole. Fury rose within him, and he turned around and leveled a piercing look at Shan Lingzi. He spoke frostily.

“Shan Lingzi, I should applaud you for your bravery. Who could’ve thought that you had the guts to lie right to my face. I might have to kill you after all!” Wang Baole pretended that he was about to mete out punishment in an attempt to find out if Shan Lingzi had lied to him. But as those threatening words spilled from his lips… a sudden heat erupted from the wishing bottle in his right hand!

Shan Lingzi had been desperate to explain himself. He had barely opened his mouth before his Divine Soul suddenly shuddered and caved in right before Wang Baole’s eyes. He turned to dust, his body and spirit destroyed completely and erased from this world without a trace!

Wang Baole was momentarily stunned by the scene that had just unfolded before him. He was certain that he hadn’t done anything. He looked down abruptly at the wishing bottle in his hand, his eyes widening instantly. Incredulity appeared in his eyes.

“Did I just… somehow make a wish and get it fulfilled?” Wang Baole muttered to himself. He recalled how he had threatened to kill Shan Lingzi earlier, then stared at the spot where Shan Lingzi had turned to dust. He began to sulk. Sure, the wishing bottle seemed to work, but that hadn’t been what he had truly wanted to wish for…

Is there something wrong with this thing? Wang Baole thought sullenly before inspecting his essence body hastily. He looked down and eyed his crotch, then patted his chest. There hadn’t been any non-consensual changes to his sex. That gave him slight comfort.

He couldn’t let it go, though. He held onto the wishing bottle and attempted to make another wish. He didn’t wish for anything grand. Instead, he made a simple one. In fact, he made several at one go. The wishing bottle didn’t erupt into a sudden burst of heat again.

Wang Baole had no choice but to give up out of exasperation.

This is just a useless piece of trash! Wang Baole concluded that the bottle was just a piece of junk. Sullenly, he stared at the piece of paper inside. He could only make out the three words that he had originally been able to read—a rich person. He had no way to open the bottle. In the end, he put the bottle away. Then, he released a long sigh and decided not to dwell on the bottle. Instead, his gaze turned towards the Divine Eye civilization. With a single bound, he sped off and headed for the Divine Eye civilization.

A few moments after he started flying, a bolt of white lightning suddenly appeared in the distant cosmos. Its appearance was abrupt. It was as if it had come out of nowhere. It raced towards Wang Baole at lightning speed, and Wang Baole barely noticed it until it was near him.

A sneak attack? Alarm flashed across Wang Baole’s face as he retreated hastily. His Emperor Armor materialized over his form as he dodged the attack, and he snapped his head in the direction the bolt of lightning had come from. No matter how hard he inspected the area, he couldn’t locate any enemy presence, which confounded him. This was the first time he had been struck by a sudden bolt of lightning that had appeared out of nowhere in the middle of space. He couldn’t help but be reminded of what Shan Lingzi had said about the consequences of using the wishing bottle.

Is this the result of wishing upon the wishing bottle? Wang Baole blinked and wondered if something like this could even be deemed consequential. It seemed too weak to be of any significant consequence. He didn’t pay it too much heed and continued his journey instead. However, he was soon struck by alarm again. His body shuddered, and waves of shock surged through his mind.

He simply couldn’t believe it… Bolts of lightning began to appear time and again. Each lightning bolt wasn’t incredibly powerful on its own, but with each new appearance, the number of lightning bolts that appeared increased, soon reaching a shocking figure…

He was eventually faced with a mass of lightning bolts that clustered together and filled the cosmos like a sea of lightning. It was a sea so vast it could blanket a good half of a civilization. It was impossible to count the number of lightning bolts in that sea. The bolts of lightning charged at him thunderously with the intention to wipe him out of existence.

Wang Baole emitted a shrill scream at the sight of the lightning bolts as he made a desperate escape.

Is there really a need to come to this?
