228. Chapter 225 God Wasteland World, the Illusory Form of the Wasteland

After Pan Huang finished speaking, he directly summoned Pangu's True Form; now, with his Great Dao cultivation plus Pangu's True Form, his cultivation instantly reached the mid-stage of the Great Dao.

That black-robed person had said before that with mid-stage Great Dao strength one could break this formation; as long as the formation is broken, those girls could be rescued.

After summoning Pangu's True Form, Pan Huang's strength reached the mid-stage of the Great Dao.

"Just mid-stage Great Dao." Looking at the formation before him, Pan Huang said with a smile.

After saying that, he punched the formation, but the formation was not damaged; seeing this, Pan Huang took a deep breath, concentrated all his strength into his fist, and struck the formation's protective shield before him again heavily.

Crackle—

A sound like shattering glass came, and cracks appeared in the void before Pan Huang; he knew the formation had been broken by him.

But before Pan Huang could even show a smile, he widened his eyes, for at the moment the formation shattered, those girls all let out miserable screams.

The next second, those girls exploded into blood mist before Pan Huang's eyes and fell into the blood pool below.

When the blood mist fell into the blood pool, golden light immediately appeared at the bottom of the pool, and this golden light formed a formation within the blood pool.

When the formation formed, the blood instantly formed a vortex; after a few breaths, the blood in the pool had already been drained.

"Damn it, they actually used me!" At this point, Pan Huang finally realized.

That earlier aura was deliberately left by the black-robed person to lure me here; the purpose of luring me was obvious—it was precisely for the present situation.

"Very good, very good, how many years has it been? I've always been the one scheming against others, never expecting to be schemed against myself—how excellent!" Flames of anger shot from Pan Huang's eyes.

"Hahaha, I still need to thank you, fellow Daoist, for helping me with this big favor." Suddenly a phantom appeared above the blood pool, looking at Pan Huang with a smile.

This person is precisely the Primordial God Wasteland I saw in the God Wasteland World before; although Pan Huang knows him, he does not know Pan Huang, because back then Pan Huang had changed his appearance and aura.

"Excellent! I've remembered you; you'd better not let me find you." Pan Huang said lightly while looking at the phantom before him.

"I am in the Ability World; if you have the ability, come find me—I just don't know if Heavenly Dao City has that much capability." Huang said with a laugh.

After saying that, Huang's phantom vanished, the blood water in the blood pool disappeared, and even the formation within the blood pool disappeared without a trace.

"The Ability World? I'll go; when the time comes, I hope you remain as unrestrained and unruly as ever." Looking at the disappearing Huang, Pan Huang muttered to himself.

After saying that, Pan Huang left this place.

After walking out of the cave, Niu Dali and Jiang Rou were no longer there, and Pan Huang's face showed an expression of 'as expected'.

Initially, when Pan Huang saw that they did not know the aura-tracking method, he felt a hint of doubt, for logically, if one could track using a mark, one should also know aura tracking.

But at that time, Pan Huang didn't think much of it; he subconsciously believed that the people of the Great Realms disdained using aura tracking, showing that he was still rather young.

"I didn't expect the Ability World's influence to have reached Emperor Star; I don't know if there are any shadows of other main cities here—if so, Emperor Star might not stay peaceful." Pan Huang sighed.

After saying that, he directly returned to the First City; sure enough, Niu Dali and Jiang Rou had not come back, confirming Pan Huang's suspicion that they were likely spies or similar personnel, though he didn't know how long they had been hiding here.

After returning to the First City, Pan Huang immediately informed Chi Yu and the others of the situation; Chi Yu told Pan Huang to first take control of the First City, and they would arrive soon.

After receiving the reply, Pan Huang immediately informed everyone that Niu Dali and Jiang Rou were spies, and then said that for now he would act as temporary commander of the First City's Enforcement Squad.

While saying that, Pan Huang kept watching everyone, and then he noticed that the expressions of four people were off.

"As expected!" Pan Huang thought to himself.

On the way back, he had suspected that the Enforcement Squad might have other spies; he didn't expect that a glance would confirm it.

"Before Chi Yu and the others arrive, let me keep you company for a while." Pan Huang thought to himself.

Time quickly passed three days; during these three days, Pan Huang had not managed the Enforcement Squad at all—he only mentioned taking temporary command on the first day, after which he never showed up.

Without Pan Huang's restraint, those with ulterior motives began to operate within the Enforcement Squad; in just a few days they had won over nearly half the members, and although Pan Huang did not appear, he had been secretly observing everything.

His doing this was actually also to be able to catch them all in one net; if he merely dealt with the spies, that would hardly be Pan Huang's true intention.

In Pan Huang's view, a major reason these people could become spies is a problem of disposition; they cannot resist temptation, and people with such weak disposition simply have no right to remain in the Enforcement Squad.

For the future development of the Enforcement Squad and of the entire First City, it is necessary for him to thoroughly purge the First City's Enforcement Squad, removing those unstable elements, after which the First City can be safe.

Another four days passed, making it seven days in total that Pan Huang had not appeared; those people are now becoming increasingly arrogant, feeling as if they could directly take over the Enforcement Squad.

But Pan Huang is not panicking; he is waiting, waiting for an opportunity, waiting for a chance to catch them all in one net.

Soon, the opportunity arrived; on that day, for some reason, those several dozen people led by the spies all gathered together, as if discussing something; seeing this, Pan Huang knew the chance to net them all had come.

Outside the First City, a remote village, which had been deserted for a long time, today saw wave after wave of people arriving—over a dozen groups.

"You sure know how to pick a spot, though that's understandable—after all, this is meant to be your burial ground; burying you all here would also be quite good." Pan Huang, who had followed them, said with a smile.

After saying that, Pan Huang quietly sneaked into the village.

These people gathered in the village square, all wearing black robes, giving the impression of never having seen the world.

"Forget it, I don't even want to know what you're discussing; it's surely nothing good, so I'll take this chance to eliminate you all—also a way to rid the First City of a few scourges." Looking at the black-robed men before him, Pan Huang thought to himself.

After saying that, Pan Huang lightly stomped his foot, and profound mystical patterns spread from under his feet; these patterns were those of a formation, this being the first trapping formation—Pan Huang didn't want anyone to flee when he acted later, so the necessary preparations had to be made.

After doing all that, Pan Huang swaggered into view before Ta En.

"Pan Huang!" Upon seeing Pan Huang, everyone's hearts jolted in unison; they hadn't expected him to discover them.

"Judging by your looks, you seem quite surprised by my arrival!" Seeing their startled expressions, Pan Huang said with a smile.

"Since you're alone, stay here; everyone follow me—if we're discovered, we certainly won't have a good ending." The spy leader said to the crowd after seeing Pan Huang.

Hearing his words and taking the situation into account, they all simultaneously drew their weapons and then charged forward.

"Not bad; since it's like this, I'll send you on your way with my strongest combat power." Pan Huang gave a feral grin and directly summoned Pangu's True Form.

Before the crowd could react, he was like a wolf among sheep, beginning the slaughter of these people.

These people's strength generally lay around the late and peak stages of the Heavenly Dao, and the gap between Heavenly Dao and the Great Dao is not something that can be dismissed with mere words—especially since Pan Huang is currently at mid-stage Great Dao.

In just a few breaths, these people were reduced to one-tenth; they looked at Pan Huang with terror, and in the next second, the faces of four of them showed a mad expression.

"With my flesh, blood, and soul, I invite the master to descend." These four people roared, then all knelt on the ground.

The next second, faint red light appeared on their bodies; Pan Huang saw this and knew it was nothing good, and since he was not well versed in the Great Realms, he could not possibly give them a chance to unleash it.

But when this eerie ritual began, it could not be interrupted; Pan Huang could not approach them, and in the end could only watch helplessly as the ritual proceeded.

When the ritual ended, these four had become skin and bones, lying on the ground, barely breathing, as if they could expire at any moment.

And the flesh, blood, and divine souls on their bodies kept twisting in the air; before long, a human figure appeared before Panhuang.

"I never expected it to be Huang." Upon seeing that figure, Panhuang still felt a hint of surprise.

"I never expected it to be you; we meet again. Looks like you've discovered my layout in Heavenly Dao City." Huang said with a smile after seeing Panhuang.

"State your purpose!" Panhuang said.

But Huang looked at Panhuang with an expression as if looking at an idiot, making a flash of embarrassment cross Panhuang's face.

"Then die!" Panhuang roared and charged at Huang.

Boom—

He and that figure formed of flesh, blood, and divine souls collided with a punch, yet he gained no advantage, giving Panhuang a new understanding of Huang's strength.

"Even if you are at the peak of the Great Dao, or in the Chaos realm, you will surely die today." Panhuang snorted coldly and directly used World Power.

With the aid of World Power, Panhuang's attack rose another level; this time Huang was not as relaxed as before.

"Good, I've remembered you; state your name." Finding no advantage in Panhuang's hand, Huang looked at Panhuang with a smile and asked.

In his view, losing this clone here is just a loss; it won't affect his main body anyway.

"You're not worthy to know my name." Panhuang snorted coldly, and a stronger aura burst from his body.

Then a golden spear condensed in his hand; once the spear formed, Panhuang flung it out directly—the spear's speed was great, so fast that Huang didn't have time to react before it pierced his body.

Looking at the wound on his body, Huang raised his hand and struck with a palm that used all the clone's strength, sending Panhuang flying backward.

But even so, as Panhuang flew backward, he again condensed a spear in his hand; this spear directly pierced Huang's neck.

"You're not bad; as I said before, I am in the Supernatural World, waiting for you to come seek revenge at any time." Huang said with a smile, then vanished on the spot.

Supernatural World, Purgatory Academy—Huang's expression suddenly changed, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood.

He subconsciously touched his neck, and a trace of blood appeared on his neck.

"World Power—I never expected World Power to have such an effect. It's a pity that my world has been occupied by a petty brat; once I find out who it is, I will surely extract your soul and throw it into the Soul-devouring Prison to torment for a thousand years." Huang muttered.

After saying that, he went to cultivate and heal his wounds; now the competition at Purgatory Academy is intensifying. If he previously possessed a world, Huang wouldn't have cared at all, after all, an entire world stood behind him, worshiping him.

But now the situation has reversed; lacking the support of a world, Huang's cultivation speed has dropped greatly, so he reached out to Imperial Star Heavenly Dao City, and the reason he chose Heavenly Dao City is because Imperial Star is the only world he knows that is extremely discordant.

The conflicts on Imperial Star are extremely sharp, and according to Huang's information, Heavenly Dao City is hostile to the three other main cities—this is also why he chose Heavenly Dao City; once he controls Heavenly Dao City, he will have no rear worries.

But he never imagined that such a perfect plan would be sabotaged; if he knew that the person who ruined his plan was the one who once stole his world, Huang would probably go mad outright. (End of chapter)
