đź“– Chapter 1033 - Divine Ox!
As soon as Wang Baole spoke, the fog figure of the Xie Family’s old patriarch that enveloped Xie Yunteng suddenly froze. Its momentum plummeted in an instant.
The master Wang Baole spoke of was naturally the Flame Patriarch, who was famous across the entire Dao Domain for his extreme overprotectiveness. If his disciple was in the right, then their enemy would be held accountable, and if his disciple was in the wrong… their enemy would still be held accountable. In short, no matter what, he would take his disciple’s side.
This was no mere rumor, but a reputation that had been established through repeated bloodshed. Every once in a while, the Xie Family would receive reports of this sort, so even as the fifth-ranked direct descendant, Xie Yunteng couldn’t help but tremble.
Himself aside, even the Xie Family’s first-ranked direct descendant, the Dao Child of the Xie Family, wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences of killing Wang Baole.
Thus, Xie Yunteng naturally lost his momentum. But a moment later, a brutal gleam appeared in his eyes. He knew that this wasn’t the time to think about consequences. Furthermore, with the strength Wang Baole had shown so far, it was impossible for Xie Yunteng to kill him so easily. Thus, there was only one thing to do.
Fight!
All of these thoughts take some time to describe, but they flashed through Xie Yunteng’s mind in less than an instant. A moment later, his flagging momentum suddenly surged again, and rumbles rang out as he resumed charging toward Wang Baole.
However, his surging momentum came to a halt before reaching its former peak. At the same time, Wang Baole violently thrust his right hand forward, and a low roar issued forth from his mouth.
“Star! Sealing! Art!!”
With those words, streaks of black light shot out from the void, landing directly in front of Wang Baole. They were… 10,000 curled-up oxlice!
They quickly whizzed into position, forming the outline of the old ox and giving off astonishingly powerful fluctuations that caused terrifying pressure to crush down in all directions. Although the momentum of the phantom formed by the oxlice couldn’t compare with the fog figure of the Xie Family ancestor, it wasn’t too far off!
Xie Haiyang’s eyes widened. In fact, everyone who saw this scene, including Xie Yunteng himself, felt astonishing waves surge in their hearts.
“That’s…”
“The Raging Flame Divine Ox!!”
“The guardian deity of the Raging Flame Galaxy!!”
As an uproar broke out around him, Wang Baole’s face remained indifferent. Although his divine ox phantom seemed inferior to Xie Yunteng’s ancestor projection, this was only the beginning. A moment later, the void around each of the oxlice distorted, and asteroids began to manifest around them. The moment the oxlice were replaced by 10,000 asteroids, the pressure that the ox phantom exuded skyrocketed. Rumbling sounds filled the starry sky, and the ship trembled as all the surrounding cultivators looked on in horror.
Even the Eternal Star Realm cultivators couldn’t remain unmoved, and their eyes lit up as they looked at Wang Baole. Right now, the divine ox phantom’s momentum had reached a terrifying degree. Xie Yunteng’s cultivation was at the great circle of the Planet Realm, he had fused with a Special Planet, and he was being boosted by the Xie Family’s Projection of the Founding Ancestor. Even with all of that, his momentum… no longer surpassed the ox phantom!
And it wasn’t over yet!
In the blink of an eye, the asteroids suddenly blurred, distorting and expanding rapidly. As they became clear again, they were no longer asteroids, but Mortal Planets! Thousands of shrunken-down Mortal Planets appeared in front of Wang Baole, replacing the asteroids that made up the divine ox phantom one by one.
When 3,000 asteroids had been replaced by Mortal Planets, the divine ox roared to the heavens, and its momentum surged, surpassing Xie Yunteng’s ancestor projection. A moment later, there were 6,000 Mortal Planets in total, and the divine ox’s momentum reached a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering level. The surrounding starry sky began twisting apart, and the ship continued shuddering violently.
As for Xie Yunteng, his expression changed drastically. The fog figure that had been rushing forward came to a halt, no longer daring to advance. And a moment after that… all 10,000 asteroids had been replaced by Mortal Planets, and the true figure of the divine ox descended upon the ship!
This divine ox phantom was covered in raging flames, and as it lifted its head and roared, an utterly terrifying pressure broke out. The eight Eternal Star Realm cultivators behind Xie Yunteng paled and quickly rushed over to save him.
But they weren’t quite fast enough. Wang Baole’s eyes revealed a crazed fighting intent. As soon as the divine ox phantom appeared, he jabbed a finger at Xie Yunteng.
“Attack!”
The divine ox phantom roared, rushing out suddenly like a surging sea of fire. It even seemed similar to a brightly burning Eternal Star, smashing toward Xie Yunteng with unstoppable momentum!
Xie Yunteng’s expression changed drastically, and the intense sensation of crisis that he felt instantly extinguished his previous fighting intent. The divine ox charging toward him didn’t seem like the product of a divine ability at all, but rather a real mythical beast that could destroy the starry sky and obliterate anything that stood in its way.
The divine ox charged forward madly, while the ancestor projection retreated in horror. Anyone looking at this scene could easily see who won and who lost, who was strong and who was weak!
It didn’t take more than a moment for the domineering divine ox phantom to catch up and crash into Xie Yunteng’s ancestor projection. The ship trembled more than ever, and some cracks even appeared. Deafening booms rang out from the collision as the starry sky itself seemed to cave in.
Xie Yunteng’s ancestor projection didn’t last for even a single breath. It instantly collapsed and exploded into nothingness, revealing Xie Yunteng’s own body. His complexion was unprecedentedly pale as he coughed up mouthful after mouthful of blood. His gaze was filled with panic and terror, and the only thing reflected in his eyes was the immense divine ox phantom!
"Nooooo!!"
Xie Yunteng let out a mournful wail. He wanted to retreat, but the divine ox phantom’s terrifying momentum seemed to lock him in place. He knew that a moment later, it would collide with him, and he would be exterminated in body and soul.
But just then, his eight Eternal Star Realm Dao Protectors finally appeared in front of him. The black-robed old man who’d spoken out before had a dark expression, and a gloomy light flashed in his eyes as he suddenly pressed down toward the incoming divine ox phantom!
Wang Baole’s eyes narrowed. Originally, he had planned to dispel his divine ability after seeing that Xie Yunteng had lost the ability to resist. After all, he only disliked the young man because of Xie Haiyang, and there was no life-and-death hatred between them.
But since an Eternal Star Realm cultivator had made a move, Wang Baole’s eyes flashed. He didn’t dispel his divine ability; instead, his cultivation base erupted and the nine Ancient Planets behind him turned into the Dao Planet. The illusory figure of his Dao Planet appeared between the brows of the divine ox phantom, and its momentum skyrocketed once more. With a world-shaking boom, the divine ox phantom… smashed into the Eternal Star Realm old man!
As soon as they collided, bright light flashed through the old man’s eyes, and the fluctuations of an Eternal Star emanated from his body. In an instant, he seemed to turn into a real Eternal Star and forcibly stopped the charging divine ox phantom with his hands. Letting out a low growl, he clenched his fists violently, as if wanting to crush the divine ox to bits!
The 10,000 Mortal Planets that made up the divine ox phantom instantly emitted cracking sounds. After all, they were just Mortal Planets. They were far from the power of an Eternal Star.
Wang Baole’s face flushed red, and he backed up rapidly. With a wave of his right hand, the divine ox phantom shone and suddenly shattered into pieces, turning into innumerable silk threads. Astonishing, these silk threads contained Xie Yunteng’s natural law of silk!
This scene was beyond everyone’s expectations, and even the Eternal Star Realm old man was taken aback. When he saw the divine ox turn into silk threads and escape from his grasp, he felt that he had lost face. After all, he was an Eternal Star Realm cultivator, and he wasn’t in the early stage, either. He was already a middle stage Eternal Star Realm Almighty.
And a Planet Realm cultivator’s divine ability had actually escaped him, causing his expression to instantly darken. Snorting coldly, he raised his right hand to make another grabbing motion. As for Xie Yunteng’s other seven Eternal Star Realm Dao Protectors, they didn’t show any intention of making a move at all. After all, they were facing a Planet Realm cultivator. If word got out that Eternal Star Realm Almighties had needed to gang up on a mere Planet Realm cultivator, they would lose all face. After all, Wang Baole wasn’t some nobody whom they could erase as they pleased.
But in the next moment, the black-robed old man who made a move suddenly paled, and he quickly retracted his right hand. When he looked at it, he saw that his right hand was turning into paper at a rate visible to the naked eye!
Although he quickly suppressed it with his formidable cultivation base, it still distracted him for a short while. During this delay, the silk threads that the divine ox phantom had turned into safely returned to Wang Baole’s body!
All the surrounding cultivators gasped in shock, including Xie Haiyang. After all… Wang Baole had just clashed with an Eternal Star Realm Almighty and retreated unscathed. This was already something the vast majority of people couldn’t even imagine!
In the Never-Ending Dao Domain, the gap between the Eternal Star Realm and the Planet Realm was like a deep chasm. This gap couldn’t be overcome, because the two realms were on completely different levels!
Even the Eternal Star Realm old man’s pupils contracted as he stared at Wang Baole. As waves of shock tumbled about in his heart, he saw eight Eternal Star Realm cultivators suddenly walk out of the void behind Wang Baole!
“Old slave of the Xie Family, I won’t quibble about you interfering in the fight between our young masters. But you actually tried to destroy my young master’s divine ox! This is crossing the line. Now, you must give my Raging Flame Galaxy an explanation!” Among the eight Eternal Star Realm newcomers, the Scorching Spirit Civilization’s ancestor spoke in a cold tone.
