📖 Chapter 1063 - Regaining Consciousness!

18 Aug, 2023

Never-Ending Dao Domain, Heaven’s Mandate Star System, Planet Heaven’s Mandate.

Inside the trial land, there were more than a hundred thousand small clearings within the fog. Each one originally had a cultivator inside it, but now… the majority were empty.

Almost half of the trial takers didn’t even have the chance to enter the second past life, and they had to forfeit the trial for various reasons.

Some people had to quit because their bodies were drained after obtaining the insights of their past life. Although they stood to benefit much more, their souls had reached their limit, and it was impossible to continue.

Others were originally capable of continuing, but they met with disaster for various reasons. They were either threatened by those with superior family backgrounds, overpowered by those with exceptional battle prowess, or even overwhelmed by those with indescribable wealth. In any case, in such situations, many people chose to reluctantly surrender their light of guidance. And without the light of guidance, they were teleported out of the trial land at the end of the day.

And as time went on, more and more trial takers succumbed to one of the above two situations, losing their qualifications to continue the trial. Overall, although the fourth day was still ongoing, 90% of the trial takers had already returned to the outside world.

Thus, the backs of the thirty-nine great desolate beasts were filled with densely-packed cultivators. Some were whispering among each other, some were gritting their teeth in hatred, and some were meditating on the gains they had achieved.

But without exception, all of them divided part of their attention to the white fog rolling about above the volcano and the islands.

There was a time difference between the trial land and the outside world, so four days inside the white fog really wasn’t long at all. Thus, everyone waited with bated breath to see… who would be the first to obtain enlightenment of ten past lives!

At that moment, Reverend Heaven-Learned opened his eyes slightly. Looking at the fog above him, his eyes flickered with a profound light. They seemed to contain the vicissitudes of endless years, a light that would never be wiped away by the passage of time.

“Which day?” After a few moments, Reverend Heaven-Learned spoke softly.

“The fourth day, my lord.” The Star Domain Realm old servant next to him responded in a low voice.

“The fourth day…” Reverend Heaven-Learned muttered before falling silent.

At the same time… inside the fog, a hundred figures were closing in on the clearing that contained Wang Baole.

These figures were all trial takers, but their gazes were completely blank, as if they were puppets. But strangest of all was that although they moved extremely quickly, they didn’t make the slightest noise.

Two figures flew through the fog behind the group of cultivators. They were separated by a distance of more than a hundred feet^[1], only barely able to see the other’s face as they stared at each other.

“Since you found his location on your own, why did you call me over to kill him? Don’t you want his Dao Planet?” One of the figures spoke lightly. His voice was cold and filled with arrogance.

“I already have a Dao Planet and don’t need another. Furthermore, I understand my own value and don’t dare to be too greedy. Thus… I don’t want his Dao Planet!

“I want him dead due to my own personal reasons. What… don’t tell me that you, the seventh Dao Child of the Left Dao Holy Region’s number one sect, are afraid of being caught in a trap? Or is it that you’re afraid of Wang Baole?” The person who responded was a woman. If Wang Baole was there, he would immediately recognize her as Xu Yinling.

“There’s no need for you to use childish tricks like that. I want his Dao Planet. What about you?” The seventh Dao Child of the Nine Provinces Dao spoke lightly as his eyes glanced over at the fog in another direction.

Following his gaze, a person’s figure soon stepped out from the fog. He was… Chen Han, the seventeenth of the Seven Spirits Dao!

“And your highness as well. Since you’re here, why don’t you show yourself?” Glancing coldly at Chen Han, the seventh Dao Child of the Nine Provinces Dao turned his head and looked in yet another direction.

The fog instantly billowed, and the figure of Divine Emperor Kiga’s ninth disciple, Ling Lan, also stepped out. Killing intent flashed through his eyes as he spoke in a low voice.

“I just want him to die!”

“Me too!” Chen Han spoke up as well, with the same coldness shining in his eyes.

The reason why all three of them had gathered here was because Xu Yinling had somehow found Wang Baole’s location and contacted them. Originally, the seventeenth member of the Seven Spirits Dao and the ninth disciple of Divine Emperor Kiga were people who wouldn’t lower themselves to joining forces with others.

But now, after battling Wang Baole, they were both extremely shocked by Wang Baole’s strength. They were clear that they were definitely no match for him by themselves.

That was why they decided to join forces for a short period of time. They knew that if they didn’t take care of Wang Baole right now, then once he gained enlightenment of a few more past lives, they would be nothing more than ants to him.

Ultimately, it was Wang Baole’s incredible rate of growth that made them so terrified of him.

As for the seventh Dao Child of the Nine Provinces Dao, although he wasn’t aware of everyone’s exact circumstances, he wasn’t stupid, either. He naturally guessed some things, and although he suspected that he was being used, he didn’t care. All he wanted was the Dao Planet! As for the trial’s no-killing rule… he naturally had ways to get around it!!

“Let’s go!” Now that everyone had gathered, the seventh Dao Child of the Nine Provinces Dao immediately rushed toward Wang Baole’s location, following behind the vanguard of a hundred people.

Chen Han, Ling Lan, and Xu Yinling all followed close behind.

Thus, after a dozen breaths of time, the blank-faced vanguard of a hundred trial takers exited the fog and appeared in Wang Baole’s clearing. They immediately saw Wang Baole sitting at the center of the clearing with both eyes tightly shut.

As well as… the dozens of figures sitting cross-legged all around Wang Baole. The moment the vanguard entered the clearing, the dozens of seated figures all opened their eyes.

A battle instantly broke out. One hundred trial takers charged straight at Wang Baole’s clones, and rumbling sounds immediately filled the sky. The fog in all directions churned and billowed from the aftershocks of the battle.

Obviously, the situation favored Wang Baole’s side. Although there were a hundred people on the other side, their strength was still not enough. Despite many people ganging up on a single clone, the difference in power was just too great. However… that didn’t mean that the sudden assault was ineffective.

After all, although the hundred people in the vanguard lacked consciousness, it was precisely because of this that they didn’t fear death. They would unhesitatingly self-destruct at the slightest touch!

And no matter how weak they were, they were still Planet Realm cultivators, after all. Moreover, those who were qualified to attend Reverend Heaven-Learned’s birthday celebration were all the best of the best, so the power of their self-destruction was naturally extremely terrifying.

Furthermore… Wang Baole’s consciousness was currently seeking enlightenment of his past life. Thus, if the waves of impact from the self-destructions were allowed to reach him, his enlightenment would definitely be negatively affected. And all of this… was only the first step of Xu Yinling’s plan!

Booms rang out constantly, and Wang Baole’s clones were forced to retreat. Even the main body seemed to be trembling due to the fluctuations of self-destruction coming from all around… and just as the battle was growing more intense, a figure suddenly descended from the fog above Wang Baole’s body.

This figure was a buff and burly man. He wasn’t one of the four masterminds, but rather the strongest seed Xu Yinling had sowed in this trial land. Although his reputation wasn’t as loud as people like Chen Han or Ling Lan, his cultivation base was at the great circle of the Planet Realm, and his battle prowess was just as astonishing. Coupled with the supreme treasure that Xu Yinling had given him… he was like a god descending down to earth!

“Die!”

The burly man swung the shining white battle ax in his hand right at Wang Baole’s head. Terrifying rumbles echoed out in all directions as the ax fell with the heaven-shaking, earth-shattering force, and the shock waves from its descent forced everyone in the surroundings to stop in their tracks.

But just as the burly man roared and the ax descended… Wang Baole suddenly opened his eyes!

It was impossible to describe his eyes. The redness in his pupils seemed to occupy the entirety of his eyes, and his expression distorted in endless madness. A single word appeared in the minds of everyone who saw his face at that moment!

Resentment!

Extreme resentment, monstrous hatred, and an unlimited bloody craze!

A boundless and unending resentment directed toward the world, the universe, and all things in heaven and earth!
