đź“– Chapter 1032 - Projection of the Founding Ancestor!
Recently, Wang Baole had been cultivation in seclusion inside the Raging Flame Galaxy. Thus, he didn’t know much about what was happening in the outside world. However, after the Starfall List was distributed, his name had spread like a storm throughout the entire Never-Ending Dao Domain.
Countless powerful forces had immediately turned their greedy gazes upon him. However, they mostly paid attention to his Dao Planet, not Wang Baole himself. After all, he had been noticed too early and lacked time to grow.
But soon, the Flame Patriarch accepted Wang Baole as a disciple and even made a move on his behalf, forcing the Violet Gold Civilization to offer compensation. This incident swept through the entire Never-Ending Dao Domain like a hurricane, causing the countless forces eyeing Wang Baole to panic.
They had no choice but to restrain their malicious intentions. After all, the Flame Patriarch was well-known for his overprotectiveness, and no one wanted to become the target of his fury. Thus, Wang Baole’s name once again entered the ears of various forces, and it was with completely different connotations than before.
That was because he now had the backing of the Flame Patriarch. As a disciple of the Flame Patriarch, and moreover someone in possession of a Dao Planet, Wang Baole had already been recognized by the universe as a paramount Chosen.
At that point, Xu Yinling began fanning the flames, causing Wang Baole’s fame to spread even further. Almost all of the Chosen of the various forces knew his name, and they also knew that he had nine Ancient Planets which fused together to form a Dao Planet!
Thus, after seeing this new opponent display the natural laws of two Ancient Planets, coupled with the fact that he knew Xie Haiyang had joined the Raging Flame Galaxy, Xie Yunteng immediately knew who the person in front of him was.
"Wang Baole!"
Just after Xie Yunteng cried out in shock, the power of Wang Baole’s Red Blood and Orange Music Ancient Planets burst out at full force, causing the web of silk threads to tremble and begin to collapse.
But Wang Baole wasn’t satisfied yet. He took another step, unleashing three more punches before his foot landed.
Green Flora, Blue Cloud, and Indigo Wind shone brightly one after another!
Three types of light flared to life in an instant, fusing into Wang Baole’s fist as his punches landed. First, the shadow of an enormous towering tree appeared, then surging clouds, and then a hurricane that swept out in all directions. They were all illusory manifestations of natural laws. Along with the sea of blood and the waves of sound, they slammed toward the already collapsing web of silk threads.
Loud booms instantly reverberated. Although the silk web originated from an Ancient Planet, it was only on the level of a single one of Wang Baole’s Ancient Planets. Against the power of multiple Ancient Planets striking out, it was only natural that Xie Yunteng’s silk would be incredibly fragile, like an egg trying to stand up against a rock.
Inch by inch, the web of silk shattered, dissipating into nothingness. All the onlookers were astounded, and Xie Yunteng himself coughed up mouthful after mouthful of blood. In just a short period of time, he had coughed up blood five times!
Every time Wang Baole attacked, he coughed up blood and was forced backward. The illusory Ancient Planet that had appeared behind him also became more and more blurry.
However… it still wasn’t over. Wang Baole didn’t hesitate, immediately throwing out a sixth, seventh, and then eighth punch!
These punches contained the power of three more Ancient Planets – Violet Devourer, Black Death, and finally White Light!
As soon as these three Ancient Planets shone, the devouring seed within Wang Baole’s body was stimulated. His fist seemed to become a black hole capable of devouring anything and everything. Endless death aura and a boundless sea of light also appeared, intertwining with each other and blasting out in all directions.
Rumbling sounds erupted outward, and the remaining silk threads all collapsed, disappearing without a trace. Xie Yunteng coughed up blood three times in a row, tumbling backward in a sorry state. At the same time, the illusory Ancient Planet behind him seemed unable to bear it any longer. Cracks rapidly spread across it before it finally shattered and faded away.
Wang Baole didn’t press the attack, instead shaking his head as he stared coldly at the retreating Xie Yunteng. He hadn’t used the power of his Dao Planet, nor did he even use his Yellow Flame Ancient Planet. His Star-Sealing Art remained undisplayed, and he hadn’t needed his Flame Spirit Curse or any other trump cards, either.
But even so, this so-called Chosen had been utterly crushed by him. Wang Baole felt himself quickly losing interest. There was nothing to prove by fighting this sort of weakling.
“Don’t bother me.” An indifferent voice rang out, and Wang Baole withdrew his gaze from Xie Yunteng. He walked back toward his VIP room, the only place intact among the ruins.
“You!!” Xie Yunteng had never been so thoroughly disregarded in his entire life. His dignity and pride couldn’t bear it, and he immediately roared in anger.
However, although his Ancient Planet hadn’t collapsed completely, his injuries were severe enough to affect his foundation. His eight Eternal Star Realm Dao Protectors, whom he’d previously ordered to stand down, quickly flew out and surrounded him. They lifted their right hands and pressed them toward Xie Yunteng with cold expressions.
Suddenly, Xie Yunteng’s body recovered at a rate visible to the naked eye. The same went for the illusory Ancient Planet behind him, and even his injured foundation restored itself rapidly!
“Fifth Young Master, I’ll take care of him for you.” As they healed Xie Yunteng, an old man among the eight Dao Protectors spoke in a cold voice.
“No need! It’s just a piece of trash, I can crush him to death myself!” Xie Yunteng’s body shook. Although his complexion had recovered from its previous paleness, a frenzied light shone in his eyes, and faint wisps of black qi emerged from his body. As soon as he spoke, he formed hand seals with both hands before charging straight toward Wang Baole.
“Wang Baole!!” As he roared, the black qi coming from Xie Yunteng’s body suddenly churned violently, spreading out to envelop his entire body in an instant. From a distance, he seemed to have been covered in pitch-black fog.
The black fog expanded at a rate visible to the naked eye. As it rolled toward Wang Baole, growing larger and larger, an immense pressure erupted out from within.
This pressure far surpassed anything Xie Yunteng had previously displayed. As it neared, it continued to rise. Onefold, twofold, threefold… and it showed no signs of stopping!
Wang Baole, who had been about to step back onto the balcony, stopped in his steps. When he felt a life-threatening sensation approaching him, the fighting intent that had recently been extinguished was rekindled, and he turned to look at Xie Yunteng.
But at that moment, Xie Haiyang’s hasty and somewhat panicked voice rang out.
“Baole, be careful! This is the trump card of my Xie Family’s direct descendants, the Projection of the Founding Ancestor!! It’s ineffective against those of the same bloodline, but against outsiders, it provides an incredible boost that temporarily increases your power to an exponential degree!!”
Xie Haiyang’s words had only just been spoken when the fog around Xie Yunteng’s body suddenly exploded before gathering together into a blurry human-shaped figure.
This figure was hundreds of meters tall, and the moment it appeared, the entire ship trembled. Terrifying fluctuations appeared in the surrounding starry sky, causing the ship to screech to a halt.
As soon as the fog figure appeared, an ancient aura that seemed to contain the vicissitudes of endless years rippled outward in all directions, creating a crushing pressure. At the same time, Wang Baole finally saw the fog figure’s face; it was an old man who was authoritative without seeming angry. His gaze was deep, and he contained an unfathomable power that seemed to affect the void itself!
“Projection of the Founding Ancestor?” Wang Baole’s eyes narrowed slightly. A powerful sense of crisis arose from the depths of his heart. As the fog figure’s momentum continued to rise, a low roar erupted out, and it charged toward Wang Baole.
"Wang Baole, die!!"
“As expected of the Xie Family… Although this divine ability allows their descendants to borrow a projection, it’s merely a projection and not truly the power of the founding ancestor. However, even just a projection gives them an amazing boost to their battle prowess. This “Founding Ancestor” of theirs… must be the one who invested in the Never-Ending Clan, the old patriarch who created the entire Xie Family!” Wang Baole took a deep breath. Although he could feel a terrifying sense of crisis coursing through his body, there was also an extremely powerful fighting intent. As the fog figure closed in, Wang Baole let out a long laugh. He raised his right hand suddenly, and there seemed to be stars shining in his eyes!
“You want me to die? Have you asked my master if he agrees?”
