📖 Chapter 1064 - Why Me?

19 Aug, 2023

“I want you all… to die!!” Along with the eruption of resentment, a crazed divine will swept out from Wang Baole’s soul like a storm.

“You-” The ax-wielder’s expression suddenly changed. Although he had been subjected to the Star-Seeding Dao, due to his formidable strength, Xu Yinling had allowed him to retain his consciousness. Thus, his mind was completely clear as he felt a terrifying aura suddenly rush toward him.

It was as if the person in front of him had turned into a source of unimaginable resentment, a deep and dark resentment containing monstrous madness within. It seemed to contain an intangible bloodiness, causing everything in the surroundings to immediately be dyed crimson.

And that naturally included… his ax!

The white ax was dyed completely red in an instant, and at the same time, the churning resentment and all-consuming bloodiness made the burly man at the great circle of the Planet Realm tremble violently. He instantly lost the power to resist, and as he floated in midair, his seven orifices began to bleed.

His mind had already been invaded, his soul was already being corroded, and everything about him was sinking into a world of blood. It was as if he suddenly experienced Chen Yang’s tragic life. However, the burly man didn’t have Chen Yang’s perseverance. In fact, there were not many people in the world whose perseverance could compare to Chen Yang!

Thus, a single word echoed in the burly man’s mind at that moment.

And that word was… Die!

Gradually, that word took over his thoughts, his mind, his soul, and everything about him. Raising his right hand, he swung his now-red ax at his own neck without holding back in the slightest!

In an instant… a fountain of blood erupted, and his head flew up as his body crashed to the ground. As a bloody stench filled the air, his divine soul also committed suicide. He was completely and totally dead!

The ax-wielding cultivator died, as well as… the other trial takers controlled by Xu Yinling who hadn’t self-destructed yet. These people were all unable to bear the endless pain and torture of Chen Yang’s memories. Even if they lost consciousness, even if they lacked consciousness, the boundless resentment of Wang Baole’s past life made all of them bleed from their seven orifices. Raising their hands, they ended their own lives!

Dozens of people fell down one by one amid a rain of blood, making for a bizarre and gory scene. Meanwhile, the storm of divine will continued spreading outward. In the fog outside, the second wave of mind-controlled trial takers didn’t even manage to enter the clearing. As Chen Yang’s boundless resentment swept over them, they all lifted their hands and committed suicide!

Even the four masterminds were affected, horrified expressions appearing on their faces. At the front, the seventh Dao Child of the Nine Provinces Dao immediately spat out blood. It was only through the life-saving item given to him by the sect that he managed to barely retain his consciousness. Panic filled his eyes as he retreated rapidly.

“What kind of monster is this?!”

Ling Lan, the ninth disciple of Divine Emperor Kiga, was the same. His complexion was incredibly pale and the horror in his eyes was unprecedentedly thick as he let out an involuntary cry.

“He’s become even stronger!!”

“Damn it!!” Chen Han, the seventeenth of the Seven Spirits Dao, wiped away the blood from his lips as he backed up rapidly. For the first time, his eyes were full of regret.

‘Wasn’t it just being chased down after picking a fight I couldn’t win? Wasn’t it nothing more than my clones being almost wiped out, causing my cultivation to drop and even affecting my future breakthroughs? So what if an old guy like me was toyed with by a youngster and lost all face? So what if I was… almost killed?

‘None of that’s a big deal at all. After all, it’s not like I actually died. So why... why did I have to get involved in this mess? Why did I have to come and provoke this damn freak again?’

Wang Baole’s outburst this time had completely and utterly horrified him. The resentment contained in some divine will had actually made Planet Realm cultivators commit suicide. Chen Han had never heard of anything like this happening.

However, the fastest to retreat was Xu Yinling. Her complexion was pale and her heart was almost pounding out of her chest. The only thought in her mind was to flee, flee as fast as she could! The laws of the trial land prevented murder, but there were far too many methods to circumvent them!

For the sake of this attack, Xu Yinling had taken control of hundreds of Planet Realm cultivators and even roped in three absolute powerhouses. She had been determined to get rid of Wang Baole this time, but now… everything was ruined!

“This can’t be!!”

As the four of them retreated, the crimson light in Wang Baole’s eyes quickly dissipated, fusing into his Red Blood Ancient Planet’s natural law of blood. His resonance with the law of blood instantly reached 98%.

And his cultivation base finally broke through as well. He was now in… the late stage of the Planet Realm!

The improvement of his cultivation base and increased resonance with the law of blood had nothing to do with the reason why those hundreds of people had committed suicide from Wang Baole’s divine will. In fact… Xu Yinling and the others were just extremely unlucky, to have arrived at the moment Wang Baole woke up.

If they came a bit later, then their attacks really might have been able to have some effect on Wang Baole. But the resentment in his eyes at the moment of awakening was the convergence of his past life’s insights, a shadow of Chen Yang’s madness from the previous epoch!

If not for the fact that he was unable to bring back everything from his past life… let alone these Planet Realm cultivators, even Eternal Star or Star Domain Realm Almighties would be influenced by his resentment!

It could be said that the one who made hundreds of Planet Realm cultivators choose to kill themselves wasn’t even Wang Baole. Rather, it was the shadow of his past life… Chen Yang!

Now that he had awakened, he could no longer bring forth that terrible resentment. After sobering up and leaving the memories of his past life, Wang Baole’s eyes were completely clear.

“You guys…” A cold light flashed through Wang Boale’s eyes. He had already realized that the experiences of this past life had influenced him greatly, particularly in the area of his temperament.

After waking up, Chen Yang’s resentment no longer dominated his soul. However, uncontrollable anger still burned in his heart after suffering a sneak attack.

“You all can go to hell!” Wang Baole growled. The injured clones in his surroundings all returned to his body, causing his aura to instantly surge. Standing up, his towering momentum shook all directions, causing the four people fleeing up ahead to instantly pale!

Without the slightest hesitation, they immediately split up in four different directions, unleashing secret arts to increase their speed by tenfold and fleeing crazily.

The reason that the four of them didn’t stick together wasn’t because they were stupid, but because they didn’t trust each other. Since that was the case, the possibility of working together to escape was too low, and in the worst case scenario, they could even be plotted against by the others.

Thus, it was better for them to scatter. That was especially so since they saw that Wang Baole’s clones were more or less injured. It was unlikely that he would send clones after them, so the biggest possibility… was that only one of them would end up out of luck!

As for who that would be… all four were worried that they would be the unlucky one. But no matter what, they knew that the slowest person was the most likely to be targeted!

Thus, all four of them burst forth with their full speed, instantly distancing themselves from each other.

And in fact, their analysis was correct!

Since his clones were injured, Wang Baole could only choose one person to chase. First, he cast his divine sense in Xu Yinling’s direction, then at the seventh Dao Child of the Nine Provinces Dao, then at Linge Lan, and finally at Chen Han.

As soon as his divine sense swept over Chen Han, Wang Baole thought about how he had almost let this person escape previously. He instantly set his target and chased after him!

“Ahhhhhh! Why are you chasing me, why me!?” When he noticed Wang Baole’s pursuit, Chen Han immediately let out a terrified wail. He felt like he was about to burst into tears.
