đź“– Chapter 1056 - Steamrolling Chen Han!
However… there was no time to wallow in his regret. A moment later, terrifying fluctuations swept over from the distance, and a moment after that, a massive force suddenly struck toward Chen Han like a descending mountain peak.
It was an enormous palm that covered the entire sky. The palm instantly locked down Chen Han’s surroundings, leaving him without the slightest chance to resist as it rumbled toward him!
The earth shook, and the fog rolled away from the impact, causing an area that was formerly covered in fog to instantly become cleared. Within the new clearing, there was a palm that was rapidly fading away. The ground beneath the palm was filled with a spiderweb of cracks, and within those cracks were chunks of completely squashed flesh and blood.
“Still not his true body?” A gloomy and cold voice echoed out. As the palm faded away, it was replaced by the figure of a young man.
It was Wang Baole!
“As expected of an old fart who rebirthed and recultivated!” Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. Forming another hand seal, he instantly sensed the fluctuations of his curse in the distance. The fluctuations were weaker than before, but Wang Baole was still able to instantly lock on to the location.
“Come on then, let’s see how many clones you have!” Wang Baole let out a cold snort. There was still some time before the end of the second day, so his killing intent rose. After confirming the direction, he immediately resumed chasing Chen Han down!
Some distance away from Wang Baole, Chen Han was fleeing rapidly. His complexion was utterly pale, and his eyes were filled with horror. His breathing was disordered as he forced himself along with a trembling body. Suddenly, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
“He’s so fast! If this goes on, that freak will find my true body sooner rather than later!” Chen Han was extremely anxious, but he was also completely helpless. No matter how he thought about it, there was no way for him to beat this terrifying enemy.
Each and every one of his clones was roughly as powerful as an average cultivator in the great circle of the Planet Realm. However, in front of Wang Baole, none of them could withstand more than a single palm. And what was even more terrifying was the speed at which they were hunted down…
All kinds of thoughts were churning in his mind, and before he could figure out a way to deal with Wang Baole, a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering pressure closed in from behind him.
“Damn it, he’s even faster than before!!” Chen Han shrieked in terror and sped up even more. However, he was still too slow… A moment later, a terrifying impact struck him from behind, and his body collapsed in an instant.
Obviously, the destroyed figure still wasn’t Chen Han’s true body. But now that this clone had died, Wang Baole was able to sense the location of the next one. Without hesitation, he continued his chase!
Just like that, three hours passed, and Chen Han’s clones were killed one after another. In this short period of time, Wang Baole had already destroyed more than fifty clones. Chen Han felt like he was about to cry.
“Monster! This freaking monster!! It’s my misfortune of eight lifetimes to have actually messed with this damn lunatic!!!
“If this continues, he won’t even need to find my true body. If I lose too many clones, I’ll cease to exist!!” Chen Han was incredibly anxious, but there was nothing he could do but continue stalling for time.
Meanwhile, Wang Baole was becoming a little impatient. Although his enemy’s trick was simple enough, each clone still delayed him quite a bit. Now, there were already less than two hours remaining before the start of the third day.
“Fine then!” A cold light flashed through Wang Baole’s eyes, and overlapping phantoms appeared on his body. Soon, clones walked out of his body one after another, instantly flying off in all directions. At the same time, his true body closed in on another of Chen Han’s clones up ahead.
With a boom, Chen Han’s clone died, and Wang Baole locked on to his next target. As Wang Baole’s own clones dispersed, some changed gradually appeared in the situation. Although his clones wandered around aimlessly, as they spread out further and further, there was an increased chance of one of his clones being closer to the next Chen Han clone than Wang Baole’s original body.
Thus, his speed of killing Chen Han’s clones became faster and faster!
“Fucking hell, this guy actually knows a clone technique too? And his clones are also so terrifying!” Chen Han was utterly shocked. He had already lost dozens of clones, and another would die almost every hundred breaths. He was almost in despair from how fast he was losing clones.
Already, he had been seriously affected by the destruction of the clones, and his divine soul was much weaker than before. He anxiously calculated the time remaining until the beginning of the third day. Just as he became even more worried, a flash of ecstasy suddenly appeared in his eyes.
“The heavens are helping me!”
As Chen Han’s expression became one of joy, Wang Baole’s true body flew through the fog at a high speed toward the newest Chen Han clone. He had already sensed that Chen Han’s clones were getting weaker and weaker with each kill, and according to his calculations, he had to kill at most five more before he would be able to locate Chen Han’s true body. Thus, Wang Baole rushed at top speed, passing through clearing after clearing and leaving the white fog churning in his wake. Finally, he saw a group of figures in the distance!
This group was a team of trial takers, and the light of guidance gathered on their bodies was very strong. It was obvious that they had robbed quite a few fellow trial takers on the way. Moreover, although none of them were top Chosen, they were still quite strong. Three of them were in the great circle of the Planet Realm, and the rest were all in the late stage. Among them was Wang Baole’s current target!
This time, Chen Han’s clone was a bit special. It wasn’t the same young man as before; instead, it seemed to be possessing someone else’s body. The person it was possessing was an enchanting and beautiful woman. She noticed Wang Baole’s arrival almost instantly, and her eyes immediately filled with panic. Retreating rapidly, she quickly spoke up.
“Senior brothers, that’s him! That’s the one who wanted me to be his cultivation furnace! I didn’t agree, so he wants to take me by force!”
“Stop right there!” Although the seven or eight people around the woman felt that Wang Baole seemed familiar, he was so fast that they didn’t have time to think. One of the great circle Planet Realm cultivators immediately stepped forward to stop him.
“I am Wang Baole, and I’m chasing that person. Unrelated people, just scram!” Wang Baole had been chasing Chen Han for a long time already, and it was almost time for the third day to begin. He had no time to waste, so he immediately burst out with his full strength and roared, causing a sound wave to instantly ripple forward with astonishing momentum.
It was like a storm sweeping across the land, and booms akin to heavenly thunder instantly rang out. The great circle Planet Realm cultivator at the front was the first to bear the brunt of the blow, and he immediately coughed up mouthfuls of blood. His companions’ expressions all changed as they instinctively fought back. Among them, there was a young man whose eyes flashed with cold light after hearing Wang Baole’s name.
“So you’re Wang Baole. What will you do if I don’t want to scram?!” With that, the young man took out a wooden statue and formed hand seals to activate it. In an instant, rays of light that seemed to originate from an Eternal Star radiated from the statue, and the powerful pressure of the Eternal Star Realm rumbled forth.
A boom rang out, and Wang Baole’s momentum inevitably paused. But a moment later, a cold voice echoed out in all directions.
"Light!"
With that, Wang Baole’s body erupted with a dazzling sea of light. It was as if his whole body had turned into world-suppressing light.
Shrill shrieks rang out from all directions, and the group of cultivators were all knocked backward, coughing up blood. As for the young man with the wooden statue… his wooden statue collapsed in an instant, and he himself fell to the ground, coughing up several mouthfuls of blood before passing out completely.
Those who had retained their consciousness all looked in Wang Baole’s direction with unprecedented shock and horror in their gazes.
As the sea of light faded away, Wang Baole’s figure reappeared, raising his head to look into the distance. While he was dealing with the group here, the woman Chen Han’s clone was possessing had fled into the fog. Calculating the time, Wang Baole’s eyes flashed with cold light. He knew that it was already too late for him to get rid of Chen Han today.
But he wasn’t too disappointed. After all, there were still many long days to come.
Wang Baole didn’t intend to let the group in front of him off. After all, it would be one thing if they didn’t know who he was, but he already announced his name and they still took the initiative to obstruct him. Although killing them was against the rules, they still couldn’t avoid paying a certain price.
The cultivators in front of him knew they were in big trouble. Thus, Wang Baole didn’t even need to ask – they immediately apologized and offered up their light of guidance, and only then did Wang Baole’s expression ease up.
After taking away their light of guidance, Wang Baole walked over to the unconscious young man with the wooden statue. He immediately stomped on his legs, crushing his bones and causing him to wake up from the pain. Trembling, the young man surrendered his light of guidance.
Wang Baole remained silent and didn’t speak. As the group of people trembled in terror, he turned and left. Finally, he found an empty clearing and sat down cross-legged, recalling his clones to guard him. After that, the same aged voice that had already appeared twice echoed in his head.
“The third day, the third life!”
