Chapter 332: Comprehending the Phantom Body
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The countdown for the end of the Earth had begun. It was not long before the end of the world would arrive, but apart from the Zerg, Atlanteans were also watching the Earth.
Although a war had broken out in the territory of the Atlanteans, most of the elites, children, and a small number of young Legendary-level experts had been moved away.
Besides, after the battle with the giant snake, they had heard that the giant snake would definitely die after 55 years. They could wait for the giant snake to die and then search for its corpse. They could also retrieve their race’s divine weapon—the Phantom Staff.
That was why the Atlanteans waited quietly. However, a few Atlanteans planned to visit the land world. The Atlanteans had a long lifespan. 55 years was nothing. Traveling on land was just a way to pass time.
The Atlantean leader’s seventh brother was such a person. He had come to the land world alone and had lived there for a long time.
However, a few Atlantean guards found him one day.
“My lord, the chief asked us to inform you that the time limit is approaching. It’s time to return to the Skyfall.”
The leader’s younger brother shook his head. “There are still five years left until the end of the Earth. What’s the hurry?”
The leader’s younger brother was sitting on a chair under a bronze statue. He was watching a group of children around eight or nine years old playing around. He was holding a bag in his hand. There had originally been some sweets in it, but he had just distributed them to the children.
The leader’s brother and a few Atlantean guards had transformed into land people. They were also wearing land people’s clothes. They did not want to alarm the land people.
The Atlantean guards did not speak. The leader’s brother had too much power. They did not dare disobey him and could only follow him closely and listen to his orders.
The leader’s younger brother was very young. He was only about 500 years old. He liked land people very much and had once suggested leaving Earth with them. However, he had been rejected by the leader.
“We don’t have enough energy and space to care about land people. Besides, land people already know that the apocalypse is about to take place. They will build their own spacecraft and leave Earth,” the leader said. He had completely given up on the land people.
The leader’s younger brother sighed. He knew that given the current technology of the land people, it would be impossible to build a spacecraft that could cross the void. They would even have a problem building enough spacecraft to accommodate everyone in 55 years.
The leader’s brother looked at the group of children and said, “I want to take some land people away.”
A guard was shocked. He quickly said, “Your Excellency, the leader has already made it clear that we can’t bring the land people along. Let them fend for themselves.”
The leader’s younger brother glanced at the guard coldly and said, “Why? Can’t I take 10 children of this land with me? Land people are of the same lineage as us. What’s wrong with me taking 10 land people and letting them continue to live?”
The attendants let out a sigh of relief and said, “It’s alright if we only take away a dozen people. As long as you’re happy, my Lord.”
His expression softened. He then stood up, planning to leave the square. The children who were playing around shouted at him, “Goodbye, Uncle Zhang Li!”
Zhang Li’s brother nodded at them. “Goodbye. I’ll come back tomorrow.”
The attendants looked at each other speechlessly. They understood why the leader’s younger brother had such an attitude toward the land people.
He was only helping them out of sympathy and guilt. Humans, who destroyed nature and left animals no space to survive, would also help those animals out of sympathy and guilt.
Zhang Li said, “It’s very interesting to observe land people. Although their technology and thoughts are very backward, they can discover some advantages worth learning from. You guys came at the right time. Take the observation notes I took in the past 30 years.”
The attendants replied, “Sir, are the notes on paper?”
Zhang Li glanced at them. “Is there a need to ask? Remember to take away all the collections of land people’s calligraphy work, poems, comics, novels, and so on. Don’t damage them at all. These are treasures. You might not see them again after Earth is destroyed.”
The attendants could only nod.
Zhang Li was observing the land people carefully. However, he had not expected that someone would be observing him.
The person observing him was Wei Huo. At that moment, Wei Huo, who was still in the Phantom Body state, was observing him.
Wei Huo was like a ghost. He wandered around and went to places he wanted to visit. Sometimes, he would sleep for a few years. Sometimes, he would watch the tide rise and fall for a few years. Sometimes, he would observe a person.
Wei Huo had not encountered another Phantom Body in this world. He had always been alone. At first, he had thought it was weird, but he was used to it now.
He was used to being alone.
The path to the peak of the Legendary stage gradually appeared, and the barrier blocking him slowly disappeared. Wei Huo felt that he had touched the true Nirvana Intent. The lonely life he had lived for nearly 50 years had finally produced some results.
This was a loneliness that could be felt even in the busiest and most prosperous streets. Real loneliness did not lie in the deserted wilderness, but in the most crowded places and was as still as a non-existent person.
Many people did not feel lonely on deserted mountains, in deserts, or on glaciers. However, many people felt lonely when they chatted with their friends or were at KTV lounges.
That was because loneliness did not lie in the outside world, but in one’s heart.
Over the years, Wei Huo had seen many lonely people in the bustling city. They had been talking and laughing with their classmates, but their company had only been fleeting. Their smiles had been fake, and their happiness had been fake. They had been extremely lonely.
Wei Huo could feel this. Although the Devouring Rule had devoured all spirits, this feeling had appeared in his heart. It was a mutual feeling that could defy the Rules.
Wei Huo wandered around and observed the world from a unique perspective. His understanding of the Nirvana Domain had improved. He could break through to the peak of the Legendary stage at any moment, but he had to do something else. He had to comprehend the Phantom Body!
The so-called Phantom Body actually eliminated one’s existence and turned one into a Phantom that ignored all matter. Wei Huo was a person who did not have much of a presence, so comprehending the Phantom Bodies would be twice as easy.
Phantom Bodies were very powerful. Not only could they ignore all physical attacks, but they could also move forward at the speed of light.
What Wei Huo wanted to do now was comprehend the method of freely converting Phantom Bodies and physical entities. He had a plan that could only be carried out by comprehending Phantom Bodies.
