The Pet Beast Puppets all began to dig, working tirelessly for an entire day. Yet they still could not dig out a path. Wang Xiaoqiang opened his Heavenly Eye to observe and realized it would take at least another two days to open up a passageway.
There was no use rushing, so he cald his mind and took turns allowing the ten Taiyin Body won to attend to him, using this to enhance his cultivation base.
On the second night, as Wang Xiaoqiang, the Patterned Beast, and the puppets rested, the ground suddenly trembled, and an eerie howling sound echoed out,
The eerie howling made the ground tremble, causing so sand layers to collapse. Luckily, the collapse wasn't severe; otherwise, Wang Xiaoqiang would have been buried again, and the half-dug passageway would have been all for naught.
Hearing this strange howl, Wang Xiaoqiang woke up from his dream, and the Patterned Beast, Black Demon, Dragon Serpent Great Demon, Ge Laoda, and Little Yin also woke up, letting out uneasy cries.
Wang Xiaoqiang opened his Heavenly Eye for a sweep; his Heavenly Eye could penetrate the sand layers. However, when he looked beyond them, he discovered nothing, which puzzled him greatly.
He could hear the strange howl, but his Heavenly Eye couldn't detect its source. This indicated that the howl ca from an extrely distant place, likely thousands of miles away,
A howl that could travel thousands of miles must be of enormous magnitude!?
Such a grandiose howl was uncanny and terrifying to the extre!
It was possible to imagine that it must be a giant beast or so incredibly terrifying existence.
He murmured to himself, "How could there be such a strange howl in this vast desert? Could it be that the Barbarian Force Evil Emperor isn't dead, and it's his Rhinoceros Unicorn calling..."
As soon as this thought arose, Wang Xiaoqiang dismissed it, because even the Rhinoceros Unicorn couldn't produce such a grandiose howl.
"Could it be that soone else has entered the Falling Thunder Desert?"
As he contemplated, his gaze swept over the Patterned Beast, Dragon Serpent Great Demon, Black Demon, Ge Laoda, and Little Yin. He knew that beasts could sense each other, as could demons, ghosts, and cultivators who connected through spiritual power fluctuations. Now, with the gathering of beasts, demons, ghosts, and magics, if the strange howl belonged to any of these categories, they would sense it and report to him as their master.
However, the Patterned Beast, Ge Laoda, and Little Yin all had nothing to say, proving that the source of the strange howl wasn't a beast or ghost cultivator. The Black Demon shook his head, saying, "It's not from our demon kind."
"Nor is it a demon," said the Dragon Serpent Great Demon.
"It's not a beast, not a ghost, not a demon, not a sprite—what is it? What kind of creature could produce such a terrifying howl?..." Wang Xiaoqiang wondered aloud.
"Maybe it's not a creature, but a magic treasure or an immortal artifact," the Dragon Serpent Great Demon speculated.
"Hmm… An immortal artifact with an Artifact Spirit can naturally emit a strange howl, and so can a magic treasure with spiritual nature. But if it truly is a magic treasure, then its power must be unimaginable, definitely an existence that defies the heavens..."
"Could it be that the Falling Thunder Desert has such a powerful treasure? If that's the case, then this trip hasn't been in vain..." Wang Xiaoqiang remarked, his eyes showing anticipation. Turning an escape into a treasure hunt could be quite pleasant.
After a few bouts of the strange howl, it ceased altogether. It didn't sound again until dawn, allowing Wang Xiaoqiang and the Pet Beast Puppets to return to sleep.
The next day, the Pet Beast and Puppets continued their excavation, uncovering dozens of corpses of Evil Immortals in the process, all of whom didn't survive the sandstorm and were crushed by the sand layers.
Finally, at dusk on the third day, they broke through the passage. Wang Xiaoqiang and the Pet Beast Puppets erged.
Wang Xiaoqiang collected the Patterned Beast and Puppets, exhaling a long breath of stale air as he took in the outside air. He gazed into the distance, with the sunset tinting the desert in a golden hue. The vast sea of sand spread as far as the eye could see, devoid of any human or beastly figure.
Presumably, the army of hundreds of thousands was buried beneath the sand layers.
Wang Xiaoqiang suspected that the Barbarian Force Evil Emperor probably wasn't dead, his strength likely secured his survival. He opened his Heavenly Eye for a scan in all directions, imdiately spotting the Barbarian Force Evil Emperor. He was not alone, accompanied by six Evil Kings.
Clearly, apart from Wang Xiaoqiang, these seven were the survivors of this unprecedented sandstorm.
Just as Wang Xiaoqiang discovered these seven n, they too spotted him, speeding towards him rapidly.
Having endured such a calamity, the Barbarian Force Evil Emperor was still unwilling to let Wang Xiaoqiang go, due to the greed for Wang Xiaoqiang's Sword Spirit and ten Taiyin Body won.
Wang Xiaoqiang didn't flee imdiately, as the distance between them was short and escaping would be too late. Besides, fleeing in this large desert was never a pleasant experience.
He decided to engage in a genuine battle with the Barbarian Force Evil Emperor.
What concerned him now was the Barbarian Force Evil Emperor's Three Flowers Gathering at the Top. Wang Xiaoqiang had never directly confronted this technique, thus he had no estimate of his chances.
He decided to give it a try.
After all, the Patterned Beast was faster than the Rhinoceros Unicorn of the Barbarian Force Evil Emperor. If things turned bad, he could still escape.
With this resolution, Wang Xiaoqiang sat directly down on the sand, waiting for the Barbarian Force Evil Emperor and the six Evil Kings to arrive.
The simple fact that hundreds of thousands of troops, and more than a dozen Evil Kings, were now buried beneath the sands had already pained the Barbarian Force Evil Emperor and the six Evil Kings. If they didn't take down Wang Xiaoqiang and extract so compensation from him, they wouldn't rest easily.
Seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang hadn't fled, the Barbarian Force Evil Emperor showed a slight surprise. Finally, they approached, encircling Wang Xiaoqiang.
Having suffered such losses, the Barbarian Force Evil Emperor and the six Evil Kings were in foul moods, and naturally intended to vent their anger on Wang Xiaoqiang.
The eyes of the Barbarian Force Evil Emperor and the six Evil Kings fixed on Wang Xiaoqiang with a nacing gaze, inspecting him. Seeing that he was unhard, they beca more cautious.
The Barbarian Force Evil Emperor ground his teeth and said, "Wang Xiaoqiang, you do have sense, not running away. But to be honest, you can't escape from this Emperor's grasp. Wang Xiaoqiang, you're a jinx! To pursue you, this Emperor sacrificed hundreds of thousands of troops. Do you think you shouldn't pay so price for that?"
"What kind of price do you want to pay?" Wang Xiaoqiang said, folding his arms with a playful smile.
"If you resist to the end, this Emperor will make sure you wish you were dead. But if you surrender, and offer your Sword Spirit to , I won't hold your past against you. Uh, I could even make you an Evil King, and grant you a tribe, how about that?" the Barbarian Force Evil Emperor proposed.
"Oh Barbarian, aren't you interested in my won?" Wang Xiaoqiang laughed.
"Haha~~~~" The Barbarian Force Evil Emperor showed a lascivious look, rubbing his hands together and said, "If you are willing to offer those ten won to , you'll be greatly rewarded..."
