Chapter 817: Suitable for Plundering!

Even his thoughts were like this. The new avatar’s thoughts and actions were all controlled by Wang Baole. At that moment, he controlled the new avatar to transmogrify a pig mask and head into the distance with a flick of its body. Meanwhile, his essence body also sped in the direction of the army camp as it weaved hand seals and transmogrified a new arm.

At the same time, Wang Baole split his attention in order to control the avatar transmogrified from his arm, having it repeatedly appear in the outside world. Because this avatar was different from his previous Divine Sense, it couldn’t be maintained for long. But if he chose to burn it, it could still maintain an extraordinary combat strength. Therefore, the fighting and escaping after meeting the Never-Ending Clan was very realistic as well. Hence, the avatar was naturally locked onto by that Spirit Immortal as he sped towards it at his maximum speed.

As the Spirit Immortal got involved, Wang Baole’s true essence body was holding the leaf and cape as he unleashed his maximum speed and neared the army camp.

Wang Baole was very clear that the avatar transmogrified from his arm could only be considered expendable in a sense. Upon unleashing its full power, it could only exist for two to four hours.

But the two to four hours was enough. After all, there were less than four hours left until the end of the mission. Nonetheless, he still had to seize every minute and every second.

So, as he neared the army camp, Wang Baole wasted no time and charged in after transmogrifying into a Never-Ending Clan member. As for who he transmogrified into, he chose after heavy deliberation.

He didn’t transmogrify into an ordinary Never-Ending Clan member. He also didn’t choose the Soul Conduits he met previously. After all, no matter who he transmogrified into, as most of the Never-Ending Clan members were searching outside, anybody’s return would arouse suspicion. And Wang Baole already knew that his ability to transform was known by the entire Never-Ending Clan.

So… he could choose not to transmogrify and charge inside, but this method had its pros and cons. Moreover, just one mistake would cause him to expose himself more quickly. His other option was… to transmogrify and buy himself time to a certain extent, thereby maximizing his loot.

Wang Baole chose the latter. In fact, the one he chose to transmogrify into… was the late-stage Spirit Immortal Never-Ending Clan elder!

Doing so seemed to be extremely risky. After all, if someone sent a voice transmission to the late-stage Spirit Immortal, they would immediately know the truth. In reality, it was darkest under the light. On the one hand, it was perfectly logical for a Spirit Immortal to return, and no one dared ask the reason why. On the other hand… there weren’t many Never-Ending Clan members who could come into direct contact with the Spirit Immortal and confirm his location with him via voice transmission.

Even if they could check through the cultivators beside them instead of sending a voice transmission directly to the Spirit Immortal, not many Never-Ending Clan members could do that. After all, the Never-Ending Clan had an extremely strict class system. Thoughts such as suspicion rarely appeared in the minds of lower-ranked Never-Ending Clan members.

But that wasn’t an absolute. Wang Baole’s actions weren’t innately absolute. So after making a decision in his heart, Wang Baole transmogrified into the appearance of that late-stage Spirit Immortal Never-Ending Clan elder. His expression was extremely ugly, and killing intent spread faintly from his body. He put on a hostile look as he flew towards the army camp.

Although the army camp had array formations, Wang Baole had previously tested the strength of the essence technique many times. Once he transmogrified into the appearance of someone, he could completely mimic their aura as well. So unless the army camp’s array formation could reach the Eternal Star realm, array formations which worked by sensing one’s aura had no effect on him.

As he sped forward, Wang Baole stepped directly into the army camp with an ugly expression on his face. The moment he stepped into the army camp, some Never-Ending Clan members immediately went up to greet him. They were all extremely courteous. Some of them were about to speak, but after noticing Wang Baole’s gloomy expression, they all inhaled and didn’t dare to speak.

“Bunch of trash!” Wang Baole mimicked the late-stage Spirit Immortal’s voice and used pure Never-Ending Clan language to scold them. He humphed and ignored the Never-Ending Clan members surroundings him as he flew towards the pavilion within the army camp.

Seeing that, the others all lowered their heads. They only dared raise their heads again after Wang Baole left. The nervousness in their hearts also became more intense because of Wang Baole’s gloomy expression previously.

At the same time, as he entered the army camp, Wang Baole also spread his Divine Sense. With a sweep of his consciousness, he found that there were only several thousand cultivators left. Moreover, there were no Soul Conduits. The highest cultivation level among them was the perfected stage Nascent Soul realm.

This made him pretty unhappy. He felt as though he had expended a lot of energy in exchange for not many rewards. After all, he was extremely close to achieving a breakthrough in his cultivation. Although killing Nascent Soul cultivators could improve the Demonic Eye Art, the improvement was very little unless he killed an extremely large number of cultivators. Even killing off all of the Never-Ending Clan members in the army camp wouldn’t have much effect.

That old fogey thinks too highly of me. He actually activated all Soul Conduits to search for me… This gave Wang Baole a headache as he felt a strong sense of losing his capital. This caused his mood to become as terrible as his previous expression. But within the army camp, he still carried out his plan cautiously. He broke off five fingers and formed five avatars. He gave four of them a black dagger and made each of them kill a Never-Ending Clan member and transmogrify into their appearance. He made them carry self-exploding beads and had them place the beads everywhere around the army camp.

As for Wang Baole’s essence body, it kept pondering while feeling very horrible. In the end, he went to the storehouse of the army camp. The place was considered a place of strategic importance and was guarded by two perfected stage Nascent Souls. The storehouse itself was also defended by array formations. Hence, they wouldn’t be worried about losing anything. But to Wang Baole, the defenses didn’t pose a problem.

He walked towards the storehouse while assuming the appearance of the late-stage Spirit Immortal elder, so no one dared to block him. Very quickly, he entered the storehouse using the special qualities of his essence body and saw the almost infinite amount of resources placed within it!

When Wang Baole saw those resources, he inhaled, and his eyes became as wide as saucers. Even his mind was shaking. This was despite him being considered quite knowledgeable after his battles.

Truly… the sheer amount of resources in the storehouse and their value was unable to be calculated by Wang Baole despite him only taking a sweeping glance. So his eyes couldn’t help but turn red, and he quickly started looting. It didn’t matter even when his storage bracelet and storage bags could no longer hold any more items, as the storehouse also had storage items. Just like that, after fifteen minutes, and when Wang Baole had hundreds of storage Dharmic Artifacts on his body, he finally moved all of the items in the storehouse.

I’m more suited to plundering after all… Staring at the empty storehouse, Wang Baole’s eyes shone. At that moment, he didn’t feel like killing anymore. He turned around to leave the storehouse and the army camp.

But just as Wang Baole was about to walk out of the storehouse, his expression suddenly changed. One of his avatars that had transmogrified into a Never-Ending Clan member sent a piece of information—the real late-stage Spirit Immortal Never-Ending Clan elder had returned!

That caused Wang Baole’s eyes to narrow as he charged out of the storehouse rapidly. At that moment, only one perfected stage Nascent Soul was left out of the original two. Wang Baole didn’t know where the other went and had no time to check. His eyes flashed, and not giving the perfected stage Nascent Soul Never-Ending Clan member time to react, he turned into mist and swept past his body.

The Never-Ending Clan member melted. When the mist gathered in the next moment, Wang Baole had already taken on the Never-Ending Clan member’s appearance. As he flew rapidly out of the army camp, a long rainbow appeared in the sky and descended upon the army camp, bringing with it a heaven-shaking aura!

The one that arrived was the Never-Ending Clan’s late-stage Spirit Immortal elder. His expression was even gloomier than that of Wang Baole, and it seemed as though his anger had already reached a maximum. With just a gentle touch, he seemed able to blast and kill everything.

As for the disturbances in his cultivation, it appeared to be unstable, as though it was forcefully suppressed. That was because after he gave chase previously, he felt something amiss the moment he saw the pig-masked man. After he killed it, he noticed that he had fallen for a trap. As he sped away frantically, he got ambushed by four Spirit Immortal Descenders. In their battle, he killed two while the other two escaped. Meanwhile, he had also suffered heavy injuries.

It was just that his injuries weren’t as serious as they looked now. He continued searching for the pig-masked man to no avail afterward, then headed straight for the army camp.

He felt that the darned pig head could have lured him away and hid in the army camp. Although he didn’t find anything amiss with a sweep of his Divine Sense, considering Wang Baole’s transformation ability, he instinctively felt that he might have been cheated.

In fact, on the way back, he had already analyzed it. If the pig-masked man was really hiding in the army camp, then he probably wanted to ambush him aside from wanting to kill. So… he purposely revealed his injuries. That was because, under his analysis, after his injured self returned to the army camp, whoever was closer was a greater suspect!
