A World Worth Protecting

A blue glow shone from the long spear, brightening up the environment and enveloping the surroundings in it!

“What treasure is that?” Wang Baole inhaled deeply, his heart in turmoil. As the Head Prefect of the Dharmic Armament faculty, he was extremely sensitive toward Dharmic treasures. Now, as he looked at the long spear, a legendary name surfaced in his mind.

“Divine Armament?!”

Even if Wang Baole was the Head Prefect of the Dharmic Armament faculty, he understood little about the Divine Armament. He only knew that the Divine Armament. was a legendary object!

Right now, the impression given off by the long spear seemed to indicate to him that it was the legendary Divine Armament!

However, as Wang Baole had never seen the Divine Armament, he was unable to judge it accurately. Nonetheless, he felt that even if the long spear was not the Divine Armament, it would still be an invaluable treasure that was as precious as the Divine Armament!

At the same time, surrounding the long spear were four figures that were dressed in long robes from the ancient times that were obviously not from the era of the Federation. They were seated cross-legged in midair, directly above the pentagonal altar, meditating around the long spear. Without a doubt, they were dead, but even so, their corpses were still floating, and the suppressive force from their bodies was still extremely strong. Wang Baole only took a brief glance, but pain pierced his eyes, causing him to feel physically and emotionally unwell.

Originally, there should have been five, not four, corpses meditating cross-legged around the long spear against the pentagonal altar. The fifth corpse, for some unknown reason, appeared outside the array formation, landing in a corner of the area!

One could see that the fifth corpse belonged to an extraordinarily beautiful young woman. She was already dead, but lying there, she looked as if she was in a deep sleep. If there had not been the smell of death emerging from her body, one could easily have mistaken her for being still alive.

In front of her was a pale-faced and unsteady Zhao Yameng, who seemed to have sustained severe injuries. There was also another youth dressed in Ethereal Dao College’s robes standing there. Surrounding them were seven to eight students from the three other Dao Colleges.

Among them were Li Yi, Wu Fen, and the black-faced youth. The suppressive force released from their bodies clearly indicated that they had broken through with an eight-inch Spirit Root.

Qian Meng, Li Feng, and others whom Wang Baole had seen previously were not present. However, other than the three individuals, the remainder of those present were not weaklings either. Even if they were not eight-inch Spirit Root True Breath experts, they had at least achieved breakthroughs with seven-inch Spirit Roots.

Many things seemed to have happened, but in reality, after Wang Baole barged in and took a look at the environment, The scene before his eyes was one where the people standing on the ground were gasping in shock as they were gripped with emotions as a result of Wang Baole’s arrival.

“Wang Baole!”

“It’s Wang Baole!”

“Damn it! Why is he here?”

Word of Wang Baole’s ferociousness had long spread throughout the Spirit Breath Village. Regardless of whether one had witnessed it with their eyes or merely heard about it, one would know that in the present cohort of Ethereal Dao College, other than Zhao Yameng, Wang Baole was the most powerful!

In terms of attracting hatred and fame, Wang Baole had also far exceeded everyone else, becoming the top person within the four major Dao Colleges!

Compared to the frowns and shock apparent on the others’ faces, Zhao Yameng and the youth from Ethereal Dao College revealed looks of surprise upon seeing Wang Baole.

“Wang Baole, it’s impossible to go near the array formation, so it is almost impossible to bring the objects away. The corpse over there is the result of Zhao Yameng’s immense effort, and it belongs to Ethereal Dao College!” the youth from Ethereal Dao College exclaimed urgently.

Even without the youth speaking, Wang Baole understood the whole situation. His eyes glowed, and he suppressed the shock that he felt toward the long, blue spear as he dashed toward the group of people.

The students from the other Dao Colleges were taken aback, their surprise visible in their eyes. That was especially true for Wu Fen, who immediately spoke in a determined tone.

“Time is running out. Let’s not think too much. Everyone, move! It will belong to whoever manages to snatch it!”

As he spoke, Wu Fen’s glabella parted, and Blood Qi began suffusing into the air. After stepping into the True Breath realm, his Blood Qi contained hints of Spirit Qi, and like a spell, it charged toward Zhao Yameng.

Li Yi’s eyes shimmered as well. Moving quickly, flames emerged from all over her body, and her manner was immensely imposing. The remaining people were not as powerful as the both of them, but they were still True Breath experts who had achieved breakthroughs at the seven-inch Spirit Root stage. The Dharmic treasures that they used were significantly more powerful than when they had been in the Ancient Martial Arts realm. Acting in unison, they all charged toward Zhao Yameng and the other youth from Ethereal Dao College.

At the moment they took action, the black-faced youth from White Deer Branch College suddenly turned his head, and with the compass in his hand, he growled with a low voice as he pointed toward Wang Baole.

“Body, seal!”

A loud boom emerged, and the surrounding Spirit Qi was being drawn in directly toward Wang Baole, suppressing him. At the same time, the burly man who had been knocked away by Wang Baole suddenly howled, retrieving a large sword as he charged toward Wang Baole.

Everything happened simultaneously. Wang Baole appearance had certainly made the situation more intense.

Previously, due to the union of the four major Dao Colleges, coupled with the sheer number of people, everyone had fought for themselves. Furthermore, knowing that Zhao Yameng was going to be expelled from the cave soon, no one put in their full effort as they only wanted to force her away.

Now that Wang Baole has arrived, however, waiting was no longer an option. They immediately activated their trump cards, giving their all.

With a loud boom, fresh blood flowed out from the corners of Zhao Yameng’s mouth. She used her hand seals to release array formation seals. As she blocked the others, the Ethereal Dao College youth beside her spurted blood. He wanted to retaliate, but magnetic fields appeared from his body right at this crucial moment. He roared angrily, wanting to bring the corpse away, but that was definitely not possible with the other people present.

Instantly, several numinous treasures were hurled into the air, forcing the youth to give up. Regretfully, he was swept into the air by the magnetic field and pulled toward the exit due to the resistance.

Witnessing the scene, a glow emerged from the eyes of the other people as they charged toward Zhao Yameng once again.

Zhao Yameng was gripped by her emotions. She was utterly weak as she had exerted a lot of effort to retrieve the corpse. She was left without an ounce of energy, and seeing how the corpse that she had tried so hard to retrieve was about to be snatched away, Zhao Yameng grew angry. She wanted to continue blocking the others, but a magnetic field emerged from her body at that very moment.

“Am I destined to only serve to benefit others…” Zhao Yameng sighed lightly, as her body was raised midair due to the magnetic field. However, right at this moment, near the entrance, Wang Baole let out a roar.

With that, he took large steps forward while releasing punches that created hurricanes, and after shattering the array formation seal from the black-faced youth, he waved his right hand.

“Bullying just because of your numbers, huh?” Wang Baole spoke as he released numerous puppets, which covered the entire area and charged toward the others. Flying swords also emerged, forcing the burly man backward and approaching the black-faced youth directly, preventing him from being unable to unleash the array formation again.

Swiftly, Wang Baole stepped hard on the ground with his right foot. As his body erupted forward like an arrow and the ground shook violently, shockwaves filled the air, integrating with the Spirit Qi and spreading ferociously in all directions.

An invisible wave formed, landing directly on the people who were approaching Zhao Yameng, forcing them to stop in their tracks.

Leveraging on this moment where everyone froze, and at the moment when they responded toward the situation, Wang Baole arrived, punching the air before the others forcefully. The Spirit thread within his body emerged, and as it controlled the Spirit Qi from within, the devouring seed and glove were activated at the same time, influencing the Spirit Qi from the outside. This complicated series of events executed by Wang Baole formed a Spirit Qi hurricane upon the landing of his fist.

Loud booms filled the area, spreading in all directions as the Spirit Qi hurricane rushed forward. Instantly, everyone began to shiver violently and was forced to retreat. At that instant, Wang Baole’s puppets rushed out, tightly hugging everyone in sight.

This series of actions were executed neatly without any pauses; the process had been as smooth as flowing water. All the intricacies were well thought out, and seeing that everyone was blocked, Wang Baole approached the corpse as Li Yi and company grew anxious.

“Wang Baole!”

Everyone roared angrily and struggled with all their might, but it was still too late. Wang Baole was so fast that he approached the corpse in a second. He raised his leg, kicking the corpse into the air toward Zhao Yameng, who was being pulled by the magnetic force toward the exit.

Zhao Yameng revealed a pleasant look of surprise as she looked Wang Baole directly in the eye. She activated her hand seals again, pointing with her finger and releasing the remaining energy that she had to form an array formation seal that surrounded the corpse. After grabbing it firmly, she flew toward the exit under the force of the magnetic field and soon disappeared from sight. Only a howl could be heard coming from afar, growing softer with time.
