A World Worth Protecting

The words ‘Dark Servant’ instantly intensified the killing intent in the Black Robe’s eyes. If not for his fear of Wang Baole’s status and the restraint from the Dark Fire, he would have attacked immediately, suppressing Wang Baole and making him the Dark Servant!

In reality, after he had come to know of Wang Baole’s status, he was still intent on killing Wang Baole. He was filled with regret and indignation for the puppet’s failure and was even thinking about how to launch the second attack.

However, even before he thought of a plan, Wang Baole arrived by himself.

“You called him here!” Black Robe narrowed his eyes, lowering his head to look at the depression beneath his feet, rage apparent in his eyes. He didn’t say it out loud and was merely conveying his thoughts.

What replied to him from deep within the depression was a heavy black smoke and a calling for Wang Baole that was so strong that it far exceeded that of previous callings. The voice that reverberated in Wang Baole’s mind was as clear as always!

“Dark Child… Come… Come… Come…”

“Kill him!” Black Robe’s breathing was rapid. He raised his illusory right hand and flailed, and the calling instantly vanished. He growled with a deep voice, as if sending a command. The moment the growl was produced, the ferocious beasts on the public square were immediately filled with rage as they snarled and charged towards Wang Baole.

Wang Baole was taken aback. As he turned, he avoided seven roaring ferocious beasts that collided with each other. However, the injuries inflicted by the leaf previously were still severe despite his astounding recovery speed. The movement made caused intense pain in his internal organs, and blood spewed out of his mouth. However, he was still very fast, and after moving away and activating his hand seals, Heavenly Thunders erupted, sweeping towards the seven ferocious beasts.

However, there were just too many ferocious beasts, with many of them on the Foundation Establishment realm and even the Core Formation realm. Wang Baole could even feel that there was a strong aura emanating a distance away. It was as if the force, initially in hibernation, was now gradually waking up.

Little Missy, why are you still sleeping now? Wang Baole was anxious, thinking about how rotten his luck was to be pursued by the three extraterrestrial cultivators. Now that he had escaped here, he still met with a life-and-death crisis.

Thankfully, he understood that Black Robe didn’t dare attack him. Despite that, the ferocious beasts here could easily swallow Wang Baole whole. What made it worse was that he was also injured.

That made Wang Baole more anxious, especially as he didn’t know his bearings. If he managed to break free, it would be difficult for him to leave the third level of this underground world. Furthermore, if he successfully left the third level and returned to the second level, the three extraterrestrial cultivators would be there.

He was stuck in limbo. There was simply no good way out of this situation…

That’s not right! There’s an exit underground! Wang Baole held his breath, and a look of ruthlessness was apparent in his eyes. He knew that he needed to give it his all. If not, this place would become his burial ground. Right now, the only way he could go was towards the depression a thousand feet away!

He trusted his intuition. His intuition was telling him that the calling from the depression wasn’t hostile towards him. The calling had guided him here, and since there was no other way out now, the only choice would be to go along until the end!

With that thought, Wang Baole roared loudly. He took out his Dharmic Armament megaphone and screamed into it while directing it in all directions. With the roar being boosted by the Dharmic Armament, a hurricane erupted. The sound waves exploded in pulses, and instantly, the tens of ferocious beasts that were charging towards him were decimated, forming pools of flesh and blood.

As a result of activating his cultivation, Wang Baole’s injuries became even more severe, and fresh blood was spewing out of his mouth. He didn’t have the time to care too much about other things. Immediately, he activated his hand seals and raised his hands. Numerous mosquitoes emerged, charging towards the surrounding ferocious beasts.

Leveraging on this, Wang Baole picked up speed again. He roared angrily, looking at the depression before him as he charged towards it. Noticing that Wang Baole’s goal was indeed the depression, the Black Robe wanted to block him, but he didn’t dare to go near. He activated his hand seals, instantly causing the surrounding ferocious beasts to go even crazier. They charged towards Wang Baole with no regard for danger, as if they were being controlled.

As loud booms erupted continuously, Wang Baole had already made use of the Dark Art five times in this short period. His body was failing, and his vision was growing blurry, but he still didn’t activate the Dark Fire!

He had a strong gut feeling that the Dark Fire wasn’t unlimited. Using it could perhaps have some suppressive effect, but if it was exhausted by these ferocious beasts, it might just be what Black Robe desired.

In reality, that was the truth. Black Robe was indeed waiting for Wang Baole to use the Dark Fire, which would be exhausted by the ferocious beasts’ death. Only when the Dark Fire was exhausted through continual usage would he dare to attack. However, right now, seeing that Wang Baole didn’t use it at all, he was shocked. He was also helpless. He didn’t dare to go near, but under his command, there were now even more ferocious roars and auras charging towards him.

At the same time, the young boy who was instantly taken aback after seeing Wang Baole had now appeared a distance away. He first checked his surroundings in a frightened manner. He was extremely vigilant throughout the entire process, as if searching for something that frightened him.

However, realizing that there was no scary figure and no aura from it, the young boy visibly heaved a sigh of relief. He felt that he had merely scared himself, and now, he looked towards Wang Baole with darkness and ruthlessness in his eyes.

The demon would appear and block me every time I wanted to swallow this fella. It seems like he is important to the demon… Therefore, today, I will swallow him first and gain back some interest!

The young boy’s eyes looked frightening. He turned and charged towards Wang Baole. He curled his lips into a scary smile that conveyed a sense of ruthlessness and a desire for revenge as he closed in instantly!

His appearance was immediately noticed by the Black Robe.

“This idiot!” Black Robe cursed under his breath but didn’t try to stop him. In his view, of the three Artifact Spirits, he was the smartest one. The other two were either in constant hibernation or was an idiot. That idiot must not have heard the conversation he had with Wang Baole, and that was why he decided to make the move.

No matter. Let it exhaust Wang Baole’s Dark Fire!

As a flash appeared across Black Robe’s eyes, the young boy whom he called an idiot had already weaved through the ferocious beasts at high speed and appeared behind Wang Baole. He was filled with agitation and exhilaration, and he was about to pass through Wang Baole and extinguish his fire of life.

However, the moment he neared, a roar suddenly emerged from the depression that Black Robe had suppressed. When the roar was heard, an astonishing force exploded from within.

It immediately broke Black Robe’s seal, causing the Black Robe to retreat as its figure turned blurry, clearly destabilized. Gasps of anxiousness and angry screams emerged from Black Robe.

“Old fella, you’ve been a Dark Servant for a full era. It took so long for the Dark Sect to finally die and give us freedom, and yet you still want to continue as a slave! You don’t even care that you’re exhausting the essence! You’re crazy!”

“Go do it yourself, don’t involve me!” Black Robe roared angrily and tried to suppress it once again. However, at this time, as both sides were resisting each other with all their force, a flash appeared across Wang Baole’s eyes. Without hesitation, the Dark Fire erupted!

He turned his body and charged towards the depression in front of him.

At the same time, the young boy neared…

Since he was in the lead, the young boy collided with the Dark Flame in the hurricane formed by the Dark Fire.

The young boy widened his eyes and didn’t have time to dodge it. Instantly, the Dark Fire enveloped him, and he screamed pitifully. His body could be seen corroding as he retreated while screaming. In order to survive, he even broke off half of his body to escape from the area covered by the Dark Fire.

That was also the reason why Wang Baole charged out towards the depression. If not, had the young boy wanted to escape, it wouldn’t be as simple as having to break off half his body.

After escaping, the young boy started crying. His body trembled as he looked at Wang Baole with a level of fear and shock that he had never experienced. He was now extremely thankful towards the donkey…

He felt that he had wronged the donkey. It always bit him not out of hostility, but due to kindness, in order to prevent him from killing himself…

As the young boy escaped, a glow flashed across Wang Baole’s eyes as the Dark Fire was completely unleashed. He leveraged on the spread of the Dark Fire to increase his speed. He seemed to have transformed into a shooting star as he dashed towards the depression. Everywhere he passed, the ferocious beasts all screamed painfully, turning into ash after being set alight by the Dark Fire.
