Chapter 68: The Monster, Breaking the Deadlock, Ancient Soul Guiding Device!

At first, he only saw through the other’s identity, knowing that the other was probably injured.

But even if injured, it still wasn’t someone he could handle.

Especially the appearance of that Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Pet, the Sky-Speed Bird, made Wang Che have no thought of running away.

So he could only follow along for now, to see what the other was planning and exactly what was happening.

Only when he saw that Sky-Speed Bird, shaken into such a state by the battle’s shockwaves, did he fully realize.

This guy wasn’t just injured, he had a fatal wound, and his Soul Pet basically had no strength left.

He himself must have suffered heavy injuries too.

Combining all the previous situations and various considerations, Wang Che concluded right then that this guy was just a paper tiger.

Only his aura was very well disguised, acting like both he and his Soul Pet were incredibly powerful.

But if a fight really started, it was hard to say who would win.

Escaping definitely wasn’t a problem.

But after arriving here, Wang Che actually became interested in the situation here.

On the path of Cultivation, no Cultivator would refuse a lucky encounter.

The more dangerous the encounter, if solved, the greater the benefits gained in the end.

Especially after knowing the other posed no threat to him.

Wang Che naturally didn’t plan to leave such an opportunity easily.

“Now that you’re here, you have no chance to escape.” Xue Batian smiled slightly. “Young man, you’re very smart. Unfortunately, I’m still one step ahead.”

“One step ahead?” Wang Che said. “You mean, talking to me all this time was just to stall, to prevent accidents, waiting for the Soul Guiding Diagram under my feet to activate?”

“Hmm?” The smile on Xue Batian’s face didn’t change.

“Sorry, that was my goal too.” Wang Che also smiled.

“Hahaha… You stalling for time? Kid, no one can save you now.” Xue Batian shook his head.

“I don’t need anyone to save me.” Wang Che said.

“Oh?” Xue Batian thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed heartily. “Don’t tell me you can actually break the Soul Guiding Diagram under your feet?”

“Do you even know what a Soul Guiding Diagram is?”

“Do you know how profound the Soul Guiding Diagram under your feet is?”

“If you can break it, I, Xue Batian, will stew my Sky-Speed Bird right here and give it to you to eat!”

Xue Batian was very arrogant.

He thought the other was overacting.

How could anyone be that amazing?

He simply didn’t believe it.

A high school student probably didn’t even know about Soul Guiding Diagrams.

As soon as he finished speaking.

Four intense beams of light shot straight into the sky from different directions.

Vast Life Energy, accompanied by the four energy pillars, wildly expanded.

Xue Batian, hands in his sleeves, quickly stepped back, watching with an amused expression.

Once the Soul Guiding Diagram activated, the spatial trap here would be broken, and his mission would be complete.

He could retreat unscathed.

Wang Che, unhurried, first took out a Spirit Stone from his bosom.

He didn’t plan to break the Soul Guiding Diagram.

Breaking formations, in the Cultivation World, was something for formation masters who specialized in formations to consider.

Wang Che, in his previous life, was a formation grandmaster.

A grandmaster never considers breaking.

They consider modifying.

Maximizing their own benefit.

This was a destructive integrated formation. Integrated meant chained together.

Not isolated.

It was formed by combining identical formations.

If Wang Che had seen this Soul Guiding Diagram before, he wouldn’t have needed to waste time stalling with Xue Batian.

But since he hadn’t seen it, he needed some time to understand this Soul Guiding Diagram.

Only after understanding could he modify it.

It all required a little time.

“Destructive formation, not too complex. The circuits, formation eyes, phases, formation locks are all crude… Destructive, meant to destroy those Life Source Stones, causing an explosion. Placing them in different locations was to prevent them all from being destroyed.”

Wang Che looked at the four light pillars shooting into the sky.

Holding the Spirit Stone, his fingertips moved as if using a special technique to activate the spiritual power within the Spirit Stone.

To modify a formation, spiritual power was essential.

Breaking it was simpler; just find the formation eye, unlock the formation locks inside the formation, and it would break.

Very simple.

“Such a huge amount of Life Energy, what a waste if it exploded.”

Wang Che’s eyes gleamed.

Earlier, while talking, he had been moving around, thinking about how to modify it.

Now, he naturally had an idea.

“With this Soul Guiding Diagram, constructed using the spiritual power from the Spirit Stone, modifying it into a small ‘Whale Dragon Drains the Sea’ formation shouldn’t be a problem. Gather all these Life Source Stones. As for a container… Green Caterpillar definitely can’t handle it. Such vast Life Energy…”

“It’s not something a Green Caterpillar of this age can withstand…”

Wang Che felt around in his clothes.

He took out an ancient container.

It was the ancient Soul Guiding Device he had found earlier through treasure hunting with the Soul Sacrificial Tree.

Wang Che inserted the Soul Guiding Device into the center. Holding the Spirit Stone, he activated the spiritual power. In just a few seconds, he had modified most of the Soul Guiding Diagram.

If viewed from above, one would see countless vein-like lines forming a grand and magnificent pattern, converging toward the center in a unique flow.

“Done!”

Wang Che’s eyes flickered.

A Soul Guiding Device that had lasted thousands of years, still preserved until now, must be a very powerful Soul Guiding Device.

Before, Wang Che thought it was damaged because, logically, after so many years, no matter how well preserved, it should have been damaged.

Plus, when he had Green Caterpillar input Soul Power into it, there was no reaction.

After his Spiritual Power increased, on the way here, he had studied and sensed this ancient Soul Guiding Device a bit.

But he found that this Soul Guiding Device probably wasn’t damaged.

It was lacking energy.

It was like a key without energy; it needed a large amount of energy to start.

Wang Che intended to use this ancient Soul Guiding Device to absorb most of the Life Energy.

The remaining small portion would be for Green Caterpillar to absorb.

That was the plan, but Wang Che felt the final result might change a bit.

“Formation, rise!”

Wang Che shouted softly.

In an instant.

The great formation lit up. An energy phantom slowly rose from the Floating Earth Clod under Wang Che’s feet.

It was a giant fierce beast, so huge it seemed to blot out the sky!

The Whale Dragon was an ancient fierce beast from the boundless seas of the Cultivation World.

It was said that just by breathing, it could cause drastic changes in the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

This world didn’t have Whale Dragons, but there were powerful Soul Pets similar to whales.

Wang Che, worried about world rules and to ensure the formation could activate, had naturally made slight adjustments to this ‘Whale Dragon Drains the Sea’.

As this giant ancient whale, formed like a holographic 3D projection, flew out from the formation.

A intense white pillar of light also shot into the sky from the location of the ancient Soul Guiding Device.

The next moment!

The giant ancient whale suddenly opened its mouth, which seemed capable of swallowing heaven and earth, and breathed toward the other four energy pillars.

Instantly, those four vast, nearly bursting energy pillars found an outlet, turning into an energy rainbow bridge, flowing turbulently toward it.

“What the! What is that!” Xue Batian in the distance was completely dumbfounded.

He looked at this scene, utterly unable to comprehend.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What am I doing?

What happened?

What kind of monster is this young man?

This scene beyond imagination made his brain short-circuit, unable to move…

The four energy Torrents surged over, crushing the spatial trap here in the blink of an eye.

The giant ancient whale acted like a huge funnel, swallowing all the incoming energy Torrents directly into its belly, then channeling them through the white light pillar into the ancient Soul Guiding Device below.

In that instant.

The ancient Soul Guiding Device lit up.

Wang Che’s heart jumped. Watching the triangular symbol on the ancient Soul Guiding Device shine brighter and brighter, he couldn’t help thinking:

“Don’t mess this up, please don’t really summon an Ultraman…”

The light grew increasingly dazzling…
