Chapter 555: Killing the Demonic Armor!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There are still six days left, and I must be fast! Wang Baole, who was in the Sea of Fire, made some estimations and realized that there wasn’t much time left for him. In addition, the trial that was to happen six days later was extremely important, affecting the alliance between the Federation and the Vast Expanse Dao Palace, or in other words, whether a battle would happen between both sides!
In reality, the sly old foxes in the Federation had long analyzed and even simulated the possible battle between the Federation and the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. Even though the Federation would definitely be defeated, if they could delay the start of the battle, the chances of the Federation would increase with every ten years.
To a certain extent, it might be possible that the battle couldn’t happen if it were sufficiently delayed. After all, the process of infiltration involved paying a price. If the price to pay were extremely large, then even if Feng Qiuran were to be weak in terms of power then, she would also make use of the chance to express her stance against it, in order to regain power.
These thoughts were either secretly made known to Wang Baole by Li Xingwen before he entered the Vast Expanse Dao Palace, or concluded by Wang Baole himself after some analysis. As those thoughts circled around his head, he had already arrived in the Sea of Fire and was continuing his advance.
As he advanced, the diamond-shaped spot formed from Thearch Armor on Wang Baole’s heart was shimmering and being released. That awakened Wang Baole’s meridians, with the spot forming a continuity with his Spirit Qi to be released from his body. Soon, the outline of a huge man was formed outside his body.
The outline was completely formed by the meridians that formed a continuity with the Spirit Qi. It was translucent and would be difficult to notice if one didn’t take a close look, especially in the Sea of Fire.
After that, a flash appeared across Wang Baole’s eyes. With the first round of activation and transformation of Thearch Armor, a powerful force could be felt in his body, as if he had donned on an indestructible armor. It gave him the illusion that he could destroy every life form.
What’s next is to find all the beasts I can kill and kill them using Flame Snatch. After that, I will absorb their Mythical Qi to form the store of energy for my Flame Snatch Thearch Armor! Wang Baole narrowed his eyes, raising and waving his right arm as he took the donkey out of his storage bag.
“Scram, find all life forms except for that of cultivators in the Sea of Fire!” Even before the donkey could take a clear look at its surroundings, it heard Wang Baole’s voice. Due to the presence of Thearch Armor, his voice was somewhat loud and authoritative. The donkey shuddered, and its eyes widened after it took a clear look at Wang Baole.
Others couldn’t see the translucent Thearch Armor clearly, but the donkey, being near and possessing unique abilities, couldn’t only get a clear look but could also instinctively sense a frightening aura emanating from Wang Baole’s Thearch Armor that made it shiver.
Even though it was weak and was hidden deeply, the donkey could still sense it instinctively. Therefore, it responded quickly, and hurriedly nodded its head without hesitation in front of Wang Baole. It immediately began to check its surroundings diligently, even sniffling around with its nose. It seemed to be able to sense the aura in the Sea of Fire, and soon, its eyes lit up and it leaped forward.
The donkey was so fast that Wang Baole was surprised. He thought to himself that either the donkey had some dog genes, or one of its parents was a dog, resulting in it having such a sensitive nose and the habit of wiggling its tail.
As Wang Baole curiously thought about the donkey’s parents, the donkey had already brought Wang Baole to an undersea hill. Shrill screams could be heard the moment they neared, and immediately, three Inferno Rats rushed out and escaped.
Without waiting for the donkey to chase after them, a flash appeared across Wang Baole’s eyes as he swiftly turned and charged full speed ahead, forming waves in the Sea of Fire as he pursued the three Inferno Rats. No matter how hard the Inferno Rats tried to struggle and escape, they couldn’t succeed and were instantly caught by Wang Baole as he grabbed them with his right hand.
He was so fast that, in the blink of an eye, there was an Inferno Rat caught in his large hand as he chanted the words ‘Flame Snatch’ in his mind.
The moment he chanted those two words, a bloody glow emerged from his body, accumulating in his right hand and enveloping the Inferno Rat. The Inferno Rat trembled violently as it tried to make a sound. However, during the process of it opening its mouth, its body could be seen visibly withering.
Even though it managed to open its mouth eventually, it lost the strength to make any noise. Its flesh and blood were being eroded, its spirit and everything else instantly becoming part of the red glow. The red glow carried a sense of greed as it continued to spread swiftly towards the other two Inferno Rats.
The other two Inferno Rats were obviously frightened as they escaped with all their might. However, they were still unable to escape from the red glow’s pursuit and were quickly enveloped by it. When the red glow returned to Wang Baole, the donkey realized with shock that what remained of the two Inferno Rats were just some discolored skin and hair…
The red glow integrated into Thearch Armor, which was outside Wang Baole’s body, causing traces of blood to appear in its originally translucent form. It no longer looked translucent, but bizarre, when accompanied by the blood traces!
“Continue!” Wang Baole closed his eyes, sending a voice transmission to the donkey after sensing the Flame Snatch Thearch Armor.
The voice sounded even more frightening to the donkey than before. It hurriedly nodded its head, as if worried that Wang Baole would swallow it if it didn’t manage to find enough Inferno Rats. Therefore, it clearly became a maniac as it searched for more Inferno Rats furiously, its eyes turning red and its nose tired.
This continued and days passed. Wang Baole’s killings continued, and as Inferno Rats were continuously killed by his Flame Snatch technique, his Thearch Armor grew increasingly redder. At the same time, as the Flame Snatch was overbearing, Wang Baole didn’t care whether the Inferno Rats contained beast cores. After all, the Flame Snatch technique swallowed all forms of energy, so that even if there were a beast core, it would be destroyed completely.
As the killing continued and his Thearch Armor grew red, a frightening aura emanated gradually from it. The aura was boosted through the killing of numerous Inferno Rats, such that in the Sea of Fire, Wang Baole’s speed and combat power grew increasingly.
In the end, the donkey was scared stiff. The more they proceeded, the less Wang Baole spoke. The overpowering aura and madness emerging from him felt foreign to the donkey. If not for the connection between their spirits, it would have thought that its daddy was someone else.
As Wang Baole continued the snatch, there were soon only two days until the trial was to begin. In the days that passed, the entire Dao Palace was in discussion regarding the trial, injecting the whole place with a never before seen level of excitement. Numerous outer island disciples also gathered, and the cross-city exchanges between the disciples also grew more frequent.
It seemed that in the few days that had passed, the candidates of the trial had been announced, and those who were involved began making detailed preparations for the trial. That was the case for Zhao Yameng and Kong Dao as well, but even though the Federation Seedlings came to know about the importance of the matter and tried their hardest to search for clues, they still didn’t manage to find out much.
Two days soon passed. On the night before the trial was to begin, a loud boom emerged from a region deep within the Sea of Fire. Even though the sound was underground, it spread in all directions, causing the Sea of Fire to churn violently. The donkey rushed out with all its might in response to this powerful force being released. When it felt that it was a safe distance away from it, it turned and looked anxiously behind it.
In the direction it was looking, the red glow was thousands of feet tall as the loud boom reverberated. Painful screams and wails emerged from it, taking a long time before they quieted down. The red glow swiftly contracted, and a figure emerged from it!
The figure had its hair flying in the wind and was expressionless with a chilly glow evident in his eyes. Outside its body, the outline of a red-colored, seventy-foot-tall figure existed. The outline was very clear, as if made up of uncountable meridians gathered together. It was extremely frightening, and a scary force spread from it.
This scene was as if a divine being had arrived.
It was Wang Baole, who had unleashed his Flame Snatch Thearch Armor!
The corpse of a fifty-foot-tall Inferno Rat was being dragged by Thearch Armor’s right hand. There was a black horn on the corpse’s head, such that even though it had died, a frightening aura was still given off its body. To the donkey, it was clear that it was an aura from a creature that was beyond the late-stage Core Formation realm, close to that of reaching perfection!
That made the donkey shudder, and what made it even more frightened was that, as Wang Baole approached, the corpse could be seen visibly withering. When Wang Baole reached in front of the donkey, there was only skin and hair remaining on the Inferno Rat’s corpse. All its flesh and energies was turned into a squirming pool of blood, wriggling into Wang Baole’s Thearch Armor like a fluid!
“Let’s go, it’s time to return.”
