A World Worth Protecting

Chapter 375: The Sound From Within the Catacombs!

It’s so troublesome to pursue a girl. After Jin Duoming was hurled out of Li Yi’s office, he entered his luxurious cruiser, leaving dejectedly with his bodyguards surrounding him.

Jin Duoming lay in the embrace of one of his servants while snacking on fruits that had been peeled by the other beautiful servant ladies surrounding him. He was filled with emotional thoughts, as he felt that Li Yi was a challenge to pursue. Therefore, he was thinking about whether to adopt his previous method, which was to overwhelm her with money…

No, I should move her with my sincerity and let her know that she would be safest in my arms. Jin Duoming put on a look of seriousness, thinking about how he needed to plan carefully before executing anything.

While Jin Duoming was in deep thought about how to improve the relationship between himself and Li Yi, Wang Baole finally managed to completely stabilize his cultivation. In reality, during this period of time, he appeared to be inspecting the construction of the stronghold, but most of the time, he was searching for a place where the speed of his Dark Art cultivation could take place at a faster speed.

He realized that even though the speed of Dark Art cultivation increased the nearer he was to the Divine Armament Catacombs, similar effects could be obtained at a few other areas as well.

However, the Divine Armament Catacombs still afforded the most convenience. It could also be imaginable that once he entered into the seal, the extent of his cultivation there would reach an unimaginable state.

It was similar to there being a giant cake that was inaccessible for Wang Baole to eat. It wasn’t out of bounds, it was just… too dangerous.

Caught between a mix of struggle and disappointment, the initial stage of the new city zone’s construction gradually reached completion. There was still other construction work to follow, but according to Wang Baole’s plans, this was the time to test out the degree to which the array formation integrated with the stronghold.

Not only was there only three months left before the deadline set by the Martian Colony Governor to relocate the people would arrive, but these three months were also crucial for Wang Baole to ensure that there were no issues with his New Mars Region. Even if problems were to surface, they would need to be rectified immediately.

Never should he wait until after the hundred million people had moved in to solve the problems. Otherwise, if he didn’t do a good job, disaster might occur.

Wang Baole placed a lot of emphasis on this matter. Therefore, after the initial stage of the New Mars Region’s construction had been completed, he immediately notified the Martian Colony Governor. Eventually, the Martian Colony Governor bestowed Wang Baole with authority over the seal, and after all the preparations had been made, Wang Baole tried to activate the Divine Armament seal.

As a loud boom reverberated and all the necessary protective measures had been put in place, a corner of the Divine Armament Catacombs seal was opened. Immediately, a roaring noise resounded in all directions, and numerous Beast Tides emerged without control.

The moment they emerged, the invisible array formation threads suddenly became obvious in the sealed area where the Divine Armament Catacombs was located. The threads slashed in all directions, and immediately, painful screams reverberated, and flesh and blood flew in all directions. Countless limbless bodies fell onto the ground after being cut into pieces.

Wang Baole, Li Yi, Jin Duoming, Kong Dao, Lin Tianhao, and all the other people put on a serious look as they stood inside the command center, watching everything unfold through the spirit screen.

No one said anything. Their eyes were all fixated on the spirit screen. They saw the flesh and blood flying in all directions and also noticed how the corpses and flesh dissolved rapidly upon falling to the ground.

Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. The other people didn’t have a full understanding, but Wang Baole knew very clearly that the corpses and the flesh had all become the driving force and energy of the array formation.

Before long, the continual acts of defense and killings going on in the Divine Armament Catacombs ended, and everything returned to normal. Wang Baole tried to increase the opening of the seal, releasing even more powerful ferocious beasts. Tests like these took place for several days. During that period, they discovered many problems. After that, Wang Baole immediately shut the seal and gathered manpower to rectify the issues immediately.

Three days later, all the repairs were completed, and the seal was lifted once again. This cycle continued for an entire month. As the repair and improvements happened continuously, the protective covering outside the Divine Armament Catacombs was perfected. Sometimes, Core Formation realm ferocious beast could also be killed by the force of the array formation there.

It was only at that moment that Wang Baole could fully heave a sigh of relief. At the same time, the lifting of the seal that happened the past two months significantly reduced the number of Beast Tides that emerged. Therefore, after asking for permission, Kong Dao began carrying out his actual role, and that was to periodically inspect the melting process of the chilly iced barrier in the catacombs.

Even though danger still lurked within the seal, the military had arranged significant manpower to enter the seal during relatively safer times to begin the inspection and discovery process.

It was only relatively safer, as the bizarre-looking face had reappeared twice. It wasn’t present all the time, and according to the Federation’s judgment, the faces that were transmogrified previously while the barrier was present were merely formed by other gods.

As the masses watched the situation nervously, Kong Dao gritted his teeth and led the men into the seal. No one knew what it was like inside, and after five minutes, Kong Dao and company rushed out. Following them was a large crowd of ferocious beasts that were chasing after them while roaring, who were then killed by the array formation.

This happened again and again for half a month. With every inspection, information regarding the Divine Armament Catacombs was summarized and reported to Wang Baole, who then relayed them to the Martian Colony Governor.

Wang Baole felt solemn looking at the information. Even though Kong Dao and company entered the seal during safer times, there were still many deaths and injuries. At the same time, until now, no one had managed to reach the location where the barrier was located. There were just too many ferocious beasts, and they grew in numbers the deeper they went.

At the same time, Wang Baole sensed that each time the seal was opened, the Dark Fire in his body burned more furiously when he stood near the Divine Armament Catacombs. If there weren’t so many people around, Wang Baole wouldn’t have controlled his urge to cultivate.

In the end, Wang Baole didn’t manage to control his urge. He released the mosquitoes to follow the military personnel as they entered the seal once again for inspection.

The moment they entered, Wang Baole immediately saw the deep tunnels within the catacombs through the eyes of the mosquitoes. The surrounding mud was of a dark red color, and a sinister vibe continuously stimulated Wang Baole’s psyche. The deeper they went, the brighter the red color of the mud grew. In the end, it appeared as if blood was circulating within.

At the same time, he noticed the ferocious beasts as well. They were in the form of uncountable globs of flesh wriggling non-stop on the mud walls. Every time one of them broke open, either ferocious beasts or frightening corpses that could move appeared.

That was extremely similar to the blood-colored cave in which Lin Tianhao had met with danger and gone missing. It was little wonder that the Martian Colony Governor, as well as others, had thought that the blood-colored cave was somehow related to the Divine Armament!

Holding his breath, Wang Baole controlled the nine mosquitoes to follow the military cultivators to an assembly point. That was the deepest point that the military, under the lead of Kong Dao, could reach. Even though it was still a distance away from the barrier, there were just too many flesh globs. The slightest movement would awaken them, and unless they were all cleared, it would be difficult to advance further.

Therefore, after placing Dharmic Artifacts all around them, the military quickly retreated. However, the mosquitoes controlled by Wang Baole stayed behind. Wang Baole was silent, and with a look of determination, he controlled the nine mosquitoes and charged deeper within the catacombs!

Without the military cultivators, the nine mosquitoes charged forward at an even greater speed. Even Wang Baole didn’t know how far they went, and could only depend on a rough estimation. With his current level of cultivation, he still almost lost all connection with the mosquitoes. When he reached the limits of control, he finally saw the end of the cave.

There was a gigantic piece of chilly ice seal, which gave off a frightening cold. At the same time, even before Wang Baole could take a detailed look, the chilly ice suddenly vibrated, and a huge face that looked extremely frightening appeared. It stared intently at the nine mosquitoes controlled by Wang Baole as it suddenly spoke.

“Dark Child…”

That voice didn’t speak in Earth’s language and was instead a language that Wang Baole had never heard before. It sounded like a curse, and the moment it emerged, it blasted loudly inside Wang Baole’s mind through the mosquitoes, causing him to tremble and his breathing to quicken. Even the Dark Fire in his body was almost out of control.

What made him even more shocked was that even though he had never heard the language used by the other party before, for some reason, when it reverberated in his mind, he found out that he actually understood it!
