A World Worth Protecting

The self-destruction of the nearly one hundred battleships was like a storm that exploded within the Ink Dragon Legion. The impact that it formed spread towards the surroundings continuously. The Ink Dragon battleships nearest to the epicenter had no time to dodge, and their original injuries were ripped open by the impact. Even the battleships further away from the epicenter were affected.

Almost immediately, chaos ensued within the Ink Dragon Legion. Shrill alarms sounded within the battleships, and the expressions of all of the cultivators in the army changed.

“Enemy attack!”

“Someone set up an ambush here!”

“Why are you worried, execute the third protocol!” As the Ink Dragon Legion cultivators exclaimed in shock, the icy voice of the army’s Soul Conduit realm mighty figure echoed in everyone’s souls through the army’s Dharmic Artifacts.

To become one of the top ten armies of the Violet Gold New Dao Sect, they must naturally have their strengths. Wang Baole’s strike was a complete ambush and sneak attack that caused them to be put on the defensive. However, even if they were disorderly, that was only due to the disturbance caused by the sudden accident and impact.

The army didn’t really descend into chaos, and under the orders of the Soul Conduit cultivator, the Ink Dragon Legion almost immediately regrouped.

At the same time, although the self-destruction of nearly a hundred battleships had a strong explosive power, it didn’t cause much damage. At most, it only reopened the injuries they sustained from previous battles.

Even then, the Ink Dragon Legion immediately regrouped in the next moment and prepared a counterattack. At the same time, the more than ten purple battleships all unleashed their auras and neared Wang Baole with the intention to suppress the enemy.

Even the Ink Dragon Legion battleships at the outer perimeter of the blast did so seemingly instinctively. In the next moment, they spread their glow, forming the sealing power of an array formation and a suppressive force. They seemed to be trying to seal this place, making the enemy unable to escape after the ambush.

All the preparations for a counterattack seemed to be completed in an instant. No matter how one looked at it, although it wasn’t a textbook counterattack, one couldn’t find any issues with it. It embodied the word “stable” to a certain degree.

Even Wang Baole was shocked after seeing this scene. He knew he couldn’t underestimate the armies of the Divine Eye civilization. But he had made enough preparations. Although the reaction of the Ink Dragon Legion surprised him, Wang Baole was still unfazed!

As the Ink Dragon Legion unleashed their counterattack, Wang Baole turned into fog with a flick of his body and waved his hand again. This time, he took out two hundred battleships at once. As the battleships appeared, spread out, and self-destructed once again, a heaven-shaking sea of fire engulfed the area within it once again.

The explosive impact seemed to form two giant invisible hands, which waved around crazily and in a frenzy. This caused the battleships, which had previously sustained serious damage, to be unable to withstand it any longer. As their previous injuries ripped open many times, they exploded.

This didn’t just happen to one battleship. Seven to eight biological battleships fell apart one after the other. Under this impact, the other biological battleships also seemed to lose control. In the end, they were unable to maintain their formation and fell into disarray!

As Wang Baole’s battleships exploded, apart from a large number of cultivators being swept into the cosmos, there was also a diverse spread of all kinds of resources and materials that scattered throughout the surroundings!

These materials included gems, plants, and metals. Almost all of the materials were necessities for the refinement of pills and artifacts. It was obvious that the Ink Dragon Legion’s loot this time was too much for them to store, so they placed it in their battleships. As Wang Baole’s battleships self-destructed, the materials scattered into the cosmos.

These items made Wang Baole’s pupils widen like saucers when he saw them. Almost instinctively, he threw out his donkey and roared, “Son, collect all of this for me. Remember that now isn’t the time to eat. If you dare to be greedy, I’ll eat you up when we go back!”

This was all a long story, but actually, it happened in the span of a few breaths. The purple battleships that sped over all trembled under the explosive power of the self-destructions. The Soul Conduit cultivators inside them all flew out of their battleships and stared angrily at Wang Baole. When the donkey appeared, he was originally indignant, but after seeing the surrounding items, his eyes lit up, and with a roar, he bolted over.

Wang Baole didn’t waste any time either as killing intent shone in his eyes. Making use of the surrounding chaos, he headed straight for the Soul Conduit cultivators with a flick of his body. At the same time, he didn’t forget to take out another one hundred battleships, letting his puppets control them to continue smashing towards the surroundings. He was determined not to give the Ink Dragon Legion a chance to catch their breath.

“It’s Long Nanzi!” The previous chaos, coupled with how Wang Baole’s attack this time was too sudden and quick, meant that those Soul Conduit cultivators had no time to recognize him. When they saw Wang Baole turn into mist and speed towards them, someone immediately recognized him!

Even if they had never seen Wang Baole before, as members of the army, they naturally knew about how the Ink Dragon Legion was embarrassed several months ago. After all, the Ink Dragon Legion had released a wanted notice for Wang Baole. All members, without exception, wished to kill him.

They had collected very detailed information about Long Nanzi and wanted to kill him. Therefore, when they saw how all of the damage was caused by him, they immediately became outraged and sped towards him immediately.

Even if they had heard about Wang Baole’s strength and knew that he was extraordinary considering he could escape capture by their commander, they had strength in numbers. All they needed to do was stall him for some time, and the battleships could regroup. Then, using an army’s power to kill a Soul Conduit cultivator was a piece of cake.

As both sides sped up and met each other in the blink of an eye, rumbles spread towards the surroundings. On the one hand, these rumbles came from the continuous self-destruction of the battleships Wang Baole threw out. On the other hand, they came from the screams the Soul Conduit cultivators let out before their bodies collapsed.

Wang Baole’s strength could be said to have given the Soul Conduit cultivators in the Ink Dragon Legion a huge shock!

As both sides fought, Wang Baole used his mist body to resist their divine power. Afterward, his body reformed with the Thearch Armor covering it entirely. The Divine Armament right hand also directly grabbed a Soul Conduit cultivator’s head. He gave the cultivator no chance and applied pressure directly, crushing his skull with a crack.

“You dare to rob me?” After killing one person cleanly, a cold glint appeared in Wang Baole’s eyes. But he was scared of exposing his cultivation technique, so he used a lot of effort to suppress the activation of the Demonic Eye Art and gave up on absorbing their souls. As he turned and flicked his body, he crashed into another Soul Conduit cultivator like a speeding battleship.

“You dare to make me wanted?”

As his voice pierced the heaven, the Soul Conduit cultivator that he crashed into spat blood, and his body immediately collapsed and exploded. All of this became a shock that exploded in the other Soul Conduit cultivators’ hearts, causing all of them to retreat rapidly in terror.

“You dare try to run away?” Wang Baole felt that killing two people in a row wasn’t enough for him to pull off a great coup. As he prepared to give chase with a flick of his body, an angry roar suddenly sounded from the distant cosmos.

Wang Baole was very familiar with this roar—it came from the Ink Dragon Legion commander. It was unknown why she didn’t follow the army, but she still came nonetheless. The speed at which she arrived was extremely fast, and it was obvious that she had learned from their previous encounter. She unleashed an unknown technique and descended upon the battlefield in the blink of an eye.

As she appeared, her False Immortal aura spread, suppressing the cosmos. Combining the aura she exuded with the cold glint in her eyes, she was like the Grim Reaper coming to collect Wang Baole!

“Long Nanzi!” As she spoke, she sped towards Wang Baole with a speed faster than lightning. As she traveled, huge marks were made, as though she could rip apart everything. As she neared Wang Baole, she raised her right hand and sent her palm towards his glabella!

“Why are you shouting at your daddy?” Although Wang Baole was terrified, his expression barely changed. When he asked that question loudly, the Ink Dragon Legion commander got angrier, and she neared him immediately, crashing into him just as his Thearch Armor appeared to resist the blow with all its might.

A loud rumble echoed, and even though Wang Baole had the Thearch Armor to resist the blow, it was still no match for the Ink Dragon Legion commander. In an instant, large shards of the Thearch Armor broke off. But these broken shards didn’t dissipate. Instead, they turned around and headed towards the Ink Dragon Legion commander.

“Trap her!” Wang Baole spat out his essence blood and roared. Immediately, those Thearch Armor shards gathered onto the Ink Dragon Legion commander’s body and trapped her!

Meanwhile, Wang Baole sustained heavy damage as he turned into mist many times to barely resist the blow. At the same time, the Ink Dragon Legion commander ignored the Thearch Armor shards on her body. As she unleashed her cultivation to try and escape, give chase, and kill Wang Baole, a glimmer flashed through Wang Baole’s eyes. He gave up on his previous plan of sealing the commander seven times, instead, opting to only seal her once.

So he raised his right hand and waved it down. Immediately, the 7000 puppets he created for sealing appeared and formed seven layers of encirclement. They all spread out around the Ink Dragon Legion commander, directly covering and sealing her!

“Seal!”

With just one word, the 7000 puppets unleashed a resplendent glow in unison. This glow formed rays of light, which entangled themselves onto the body of the Ink Dragon Legion commander. The 7000 puppets and 7000 light rays entangled the commander, and the seal was formed!
