Wasting Money to Become an Immortal-Chapter 360: Golden inner world

"Where is this?" The bookworm couldn’t help saying out loud.

The only thing that replied to it was the echo that came from its voice spreading through this seemingly empty space.

With the way that its voice echoed, it was as if it was the only thing that was here.

But this was strange since this was the inner world of the person that had attacked him.

It shouldn’t be empty like this.

Even if it wasn’t as wide and open as the other inner worlds that it had attacked before, it shouldn’t be completely empty like this. After all, the inner world was a representation of one’s mind, so it shouldn’t have been empty like this.

Every single person had something that would represent their mind, so it was impossible for this inner world to be empty like this.

That was unless that person was completely empty to begin with.

In that case...was the person that attacked it just a puppet or was it a corpse that was being controlled by someone?

Was that why he was so confident that it wouldn’t be able to do anything to him?

If that was the case, then the bookworm should leave this place as soon as possible before it was trapped in this place.

With that thought in mind, the bookworm quickly tried to leave this inner world.

But the moment that it tried to pull itself out, it found that there was something that was stopping it.

The way that the bookworm had entered the inner world in the first place was a spiritual sense drill. This spiritual sense was power that came from the soul, so that was why it could be used to drill into another person’s inner world, which was also a representation of their soul.

So it should have been able to pull out of this inner world easily since its soul was strong enough to drill in here in the first place. There should still have been that hole that it left when it drilled in that it could leave from.

But the bookworm found that there was something strange that was keeping it in place.

It found that it wasn’t able to leave this inner world.

"Do you really think that you would be able to leave that easily?" There was a female voice that suddenly rang out, but that confused the bookworm since it remembered the person that it attacked being male.

However, the bookworm quickly realized that this must be the one that was controlling the puppet that he had attacked.

"Do you think that you can keep me here?" The bookworm said in a threatening voice before saying, "It really was smart using a puppet to lure me into this place, but you’re looking down on me a bit too much."

Even though the bookworm still wasn’t able to leave, it also wasn’t planning on giving up without a fight.

It gathered all of its spiritual sense as if it was prepared to fight its way out of this place.

But before it could do anything, the female voice said, "Puppet? You think that he’s my puppet? How dare you!"

As soon as this voice fell, there was a sudden golden flash of light that filled this dark world.

This golden flash of light completely caught the bookworm off guard. At the same time, it had already adjusted to the darkness that was around it, so the sudden flash of golden light had caught it off guard and had blinded it.

When the bookworm’s sight returned, it found that there was now a golden palace that was right in front of it.

The bookworm was shocked by the appearance of this golden palace, but what it was most shocked by was the pressure that was coming from the golden palace. This pressure showed that it was anything but a normal golden palace.

This golden palace seemed like it was some kind of relic from an expert of the past with how strong the pressure coming from it was.

It was even so strong that the bookworm found that it wasn’t able to move at all.

The only thing that the bookworm could do in the end was...

"What is this?"

That was the last thing that the bookworm was able to do was look up at the golden palace in shock before it was crushed by the pressure that came from the golden palace.

It was completely smushed into the ground with the way that the pressure came down on it.

It really wasn’t able to resist at all as it was crushed in the end.

There was only a paste that was left of the bookworm.

The doors of the golden palace opened and the same female voice rang out, "That’s what you get for making fun of him."

When the doors completely opened, there was a slender figure with twintails that walked out.

Then with a trace of concern, that same voice said, "It’s not dead, is it?"

"No, this thing is only the soul of that invader, it won’t die if I crush its soul like this. It will only become a lifeless shell of what it once was and as long as he takes it out, it will still count."

Though she said this, it seemed like she was still worried about something.

After looking at the paste that was on the ground, she waved her hand and there was a golden bubble that appeared around it. This golden bubble lifted the paste off the ground and then sent it out of this golden world.

"I hope that it will work..." She couldn’t help saying to herself as she sent that golden bubble out of this space.

...

"Ah!" I suddenly shouted as I woke up.

The last thing that I remembered was that I had walked up to the bookworm and then there was this intense pain that filled my head.

I immediately stood up and looked in front of me, but I was surprised to find that the bookworm was lying there like it was dead.

What had happened when I was out?
