The fat ball was always the adversary that Song Shuhang dreaded facing the most.
There was no other reason, but the main one was that the fat ball boss was the most formidable opponent Song Shuhang had ever confronted. It was the only one that had cornered him without an escape route.
So, every ti he laid eyes on the fat ball, Song Shuhang's heart would race, and he would feel a sense of unease. This reaction had beco instinctual by now.
At the sa ti, Song Shuhang swiftly activated a series of life-saving asures.
The Core World was activated!
Song Shuhang summoned the Massive Bone Fragnts of Slow-Witted Song! The gigantic skeleton materialized behind Song Shuhang. Even though his lower body had already regenerated, when he invoked Slow-Witted Song's Massive Bone Fragnts, he still crawled around with just the upper half of his body and his hands.
Next, the Combined Magical Treasure appeared and hovered beside Song Shuhang.
"Virtuous Lamia, Ard Fairy Empress mode!" Song Shuhang called out promptly.
However, the virtuous lamia did not respond.
"Fairy @#%× is busy spinning a cocoon," Pavilion Master Chu reminded him.
The virtuous lamia had already spun a substantial cocoon and hung herself on the virtuous lightning tree. Until she completed her evolution, she was temporarily unable to assist Song Shuhang.
Song Shuhang sighed.
On the opposite side, the fat ball transford into a quiet sphere. It remained motionless, almost as if it were waiting for Song Shuhang to finish his transformation.
"Why don't you summon the virtuous lamia's fat whale and combine it with Slow-Witted Song's Massive Bone Fragnts?" Pavilion Master Chu suggested.
Unfortunately, Song Shuhang couldn't manage that at the mont.
The virtuous fat whale wasn't a lamia, so it didn't possess as many abilities.
Hence, he had to settle for an alternative.
"Beast God Equipnt!" Song Shuhang remained vigilant and, with a thought, applied one set of the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Combined Magical Treasure to the giant skeleton's body. The other set transford into the 'Holy Sword of the End,' the giant skeleton's weapon.
The massive skeletal giant shielded Song Shuhang within its ribcage and provided him with a sense of security. Most importantly, his Core World remained open.
When the Core World opened, an energy connection ford between Pavilion Master Chu's main body and her hair. Simultaneously, Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet and Scarlet Heaven Sword appeared beside Song Shuhang.
Soft Feather and Su Clan's Sixteen appeared at the exit of the Core World.
"Don't co out yet," Song Shuhang cautioned.
Su Clan's Sixteen and Soft Feather halted. However, the White Dragon swayed slightly and landed on Song Shuhang's shoulder.
"Since the Core World has opened, shouldn't you return to it?" Scarlet Heaven Sword inquired.
"It's safer to open Shuhang's Core World at this mont," Scarlet Heaven Sword said cheerfully. "If we encounter a crisis, the Core World will always be quicker than Song Shuhang."
Song Shuhang raised his hand and activated the Saber Nurturing Technique x10.
"The fat ball on the opposite side seems a bit peculiar," Song Shuhang comnted calmly.
When the virtuous lamia didn't cooperate earlier, the fat ball didn't seize the opportunity to attack. Instead, it remained quiet and waited for Song Shuhang to complete the Beast God Equipnt.
Moreover, there was an issue with the fat ball's condition.
There seed to be sothing amiss with it, as though it posed no threat.
"Think about it calmly... The Heavenly Dao just collapsed, right? Logically, the corresponding ruler of the Netherworld should have dissipated as well," Song Shuhang reasoned through group voice transmission.
Furthermore, the fat ball before him was most likely an avatar created by the faint ball combining with the Heavenly Dao Molt Ball—a clone!
This clone had been chasing him relentlessly while even forcing him to hide in his Core World at one point.
If the Netherworld's fat ball had dissipated, there was no reason for this clone to persist!
...
...
Song Shuhang and the fat ball's clone remained motionless, locked in a standoff.
If the enemy didn't move, they wouldn't either.
"Perhaps the ruler of the Nine Nether Sphere hasn't disappeared?" Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet suggested via voice transmission. "My master is still alive and kicking. Maybe the ruler of the Nine Nether Ball finally found a way to keep here at the last mont?"
"I'll contact Senior White Two," Song Shuhang decided, calling out in his mind, "Senior White Two, are you there?"
After calling out, he suddenly recalled Senior White Two's advice from their previous encounter. Senior White Two had asked him not to shout "Are you there?" and instead leave a ssage if he had sothing to say to save ti and energy.
So, Song Shuhang added, "Has the main body of the Netherworld fat ball died?"
A mont later...
"Those who are going to die will still die," Senior White Two replied.
He sounded sowhat disappointed. After all, he had been a lifelong adversary, and his sudden demise might have left him feeling uneasy.
"Senior White, are you certain that the Netherworld fat ball's true body is dead? Completely dead?" Song Shuhang inquired further.
"I witnessed it disappear with my own eyes... What did you do this ti?" Senior White Two, knowing Song Shuhang all too well, suspected that Song Shuhang had stirred up trouble again, likely involving the fat ball.
"If the fat ball boss is truly deceased, is there a possibility that its 'clone' can still survive?" Song Shuhang asked.
"Did you encounter it?" Senior White Two was taken aback.
"Yes, it's standing opposite right now. But sothing seems off with its condition," Song Shuhang responded.
Senior White Two asked once more, "Has it started trash-talking?"
"He didn't. The fat ball boss seems harmless at the mont," Song Shuhang assured.
"Did you take the wrong dicine?" Senior White Two quipped. If Song Shuhang's opponent truly was the fat ball, then its head should have finally transford from a liquid tal state into pure water.
"I'll go to your location to take a look. Quietly open a passage to the Core World. I'll observe the fat ball from a distance," Senior White Two suggested.
Senior White Two had a different perspective than Song Shuhang. He was acutely aware of what his existence ant to the fat ball. To the fat ball, he, the Scholarly Sage, and Song Shuhang were unquestionably among the top five most despised individuals in the universe.
His ranking was most likely higher than that of Song Shuhang and the Scholarly Sage.
To avoid provoking the fat ball, he chose to have his projection clone remain concealed within Song Shuhang's Core World to observe the fat ball from a distance.
...
...
Song Shuhang and the fat ball still faced each other, neither moving.
Senior White Two's projection clone approached Su Clan's Sixteen and Soft Feather cautiously. He raised a finger to his lips. Be silent.
Then, he glanced at the fat ball from a distance.
Its liquid tal appearance and its aura confird that it was indeed the fat ball.
"Shuhang, try to engage in a conversation with it," Senior White Two spoke up.
With Senior White Two backing him up, Song Shuhang mustered his courage.
He recalled the fat ball's lines when it first appeared. "Are you my main body?"
With a serious expression, Song Shuhang responded, "I never thought I'd hide so deeply, yet you still figured it out!"
