📖 Chapter 1106 - Stings a Little

02 Oct, 2023

“Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!

“Who fucking said this guy was a fucking Planet Realm cultivator!?

“I’ve never seen such a freakish fucking Planet in my entire fucking life!!”

Chong Yizi was so fast that he was like a ray of light. In an instant, he had fled hundreds of zhang away from Wang Baole without pausing in the slightest. He ran away without any concern for face, not caring at all that this was a shameful sight considering his arrogant demeanor earlier.

But there was no way around it. At the end of the day, this clone was still part of his original body. If something happened to the clone, then his original body wouldn’t remain unscathed. The way his scalp prickled as his whole body trembled in terror made Chong Yizi hate himself for not being faster.

He felt like he was going crazy, like he was the unluckiest person in the whole universe. It was as if he had broken into a girl’s room and locked the door, making it impossible for her to escape his grasp, but the moment he pounced, the dainty girl suddenly turned into a macho man even bigger than himself…

‘Something must have gone wrong. How could this have happened…’ Chong Yizi wailed internally. He felt extremely regretful, wishing with all his heart that he’d come with his original body instead. If his original body were here, killing Wang Baole wouldn’t be a problem, but right now, he was only a clone with 30% of his battle prowess. How was he supposed to kill this guy who had an unprecedentedly freakish Planet…

He was really going crazy. At the same time, he cursed Zi Yue over and over for telling him that Wang Baole was just in the Planet Realm. The crazier he got, the faster he became, and it took only an instant for him to disappear far into the distance.

The Eternal Star Realm Dao Protectors watched this reversal of fortunes without any surprise in their expressions. In fact, the moment Chong Yizi appeared, they had already somewhat predicted such a scene.

As for Chen Han, he snorted coldly with a proud and arrogant gaze.

“This kid must be out of his mind to dare and fight Daddy. Hmph, he has no idea that my daddy is his daddy too!”

When Xie Haiyang heard Chen Han’s words, he instantly felt uncomfortable and disdainful of Chen Han’s shamelessness. This Chen Han didn’t seem to have any sense of shame at all, and never failed to miss an opportunity to suck up to Wang Baole. This kind of person, who had completely let go of their dignity as a cultivator, was someone to look down on. Xie Haiyang, who was always upright and proud to the world, was embarrassed to associate with such a person!

After snorting coldly, Xie Haiyang’s face revealed a respectful smile. Bowing deeply to Wang Baole, he let out an impassioned shout.

“Congratulations to Sect Uncle on achieving grand success in your divine arts! From now on, your name shall ring through the entire Never-Ending Dao Domain, and you shall be invincible in this world! The greatest fortune in my, Xie Haiyang’s, life was meeting Sect Uncle and becoming your sect nephew. Sect Uncle, please allow little Haiyang to continue following behind you for the rest of my life!!”

When he heard Xie Haiyang’s passionate words, Chen Han suddenly became vigilant. He narrowed his eyes and shot the other man a cold glance, feeling that this guy was really hateful.

‘Why is a male like him trying to curry favor with my daddy? He definitely has impure motives!’

Chen Han snorted again and was about to continue brown-nosing Wang Baole, but at that moment…

Chong Yizi, who was about to leave everyone’s range of vision, suddenly slammed into something with a loud bang, as if he’d run into an invisible wall.

The sound echoed in all directions, becoming ripples that eventually faded away in the starry sky. Meanwhile, Chong Yizi stood there on the verge of tears. His head was ringing, and his eyes went blank as he stared slack-jawed at the space in front of him. Looking with the naked eye, there was clearly nothing there, but if one looked with their divine sense, they would see… a barrier of purple light all around…

Sealing off the surroundings, isolating karma, and separating this place from the outside world…

This barrier was originally intended to prevent Wang Baole from escaping and to hide his death from the Flame Patriarch. But now, it had become a wall blocking Chong Yizi.

Moreover, the barrier obviously couldn’t be removed immediately… Most likely, even Zi Yue hadn’t expected such a situation, so the barrier would remain for a while longer.

And this… made Chong Yizi go even crazier. Meanwhile, Wang Baole seemed interested as he looked over from the distance. His voice rang out lightly toward the stationary Chong Yizi.

“You’re the one who closed the door, but you don’t have the key?”

Chong Yizi trembled. Turning around, he looked at that gargantuan Planet with dread in his eyes. Wang Baole’s figure was no longer visible, only a blurry silhouette at the center of that immense Planet.

But after a few breaths of silence, Chong Yizi’s eyes suddenly shone.

His demeanor abruptly changed from the figure who was fleeing madly just a moment ago. Standing up straight, he was like a sharp sword about to be unsheathed. Rumbles echoed all around his body, and he erupted with fighting spirit, causing the expressions of the Eternal Star Realm Dao Protectors to suddenly change.

It was obvious that the current Chong Yizi was completely different from before. He wasn’t escaping in a hurry, nor was he rampantly arrogant. Instead, he was calm and serene, exuding the aura of a powerhouse.

Standing there with his hands clasped behind his back, he stared up at the Planet around Wang Baole and spoke in a serious voice.

“I was indeed negligent in this matter. Wang Baole, I will leave right now and have nothing to do with you from now on. How about it?”

The drastic change in his demeanor and tone immediately gave people the feeling that Chong Yizi was not to be provoked. The Dao Protectors became slightly nervous as they looked up at Wang Baole within his Planet.

Wang Baole didn’t say anything. Instead, he lifted his right hand and pressed down toward Chong Yizi. When he did so, his Planet flickered slightly and emitted a ball of light that seemed to turn into an enormous illusory palm. The nine quasi-Dao Planets in orbit also emitted light, quickly fusing into the illusory palm and forming five fingers.

In the end, a huge hand that seemed capable of flipping the entire world rumbled toward Chong Yizi!

Chong Yizi’s eyebrows lifted and he quickly stepped to the side. His demeanor also changed again – rather than serenity, his whole person exuded a supremely arrogant temperament that seemed to look down on all of heaven and earth. His eyes narrowed, flashing with sharp light as he suddenly spoke.

“Interesting, it seems that I shouldn’t have sent a clone with only 10% of my battle prowess. An opponent like you is worthy of battling my original body. But… are you sure that you want to form a grudge with me?!” As he spoke, Chong Yizi tightened his hands around the hilt of his sword. The battle intent in his eyes towered to the heavens!

The moment the illusory hand arrived, Chong Yizi roared and slashed out with his sword!

An arc of sword qi swept out from his sword with terrifying momentum, carrying the power of an Earth-grade Eternal Star and instantly making contact with the incoming hand.

However… no booms rang out. As soon as that astonishing sword qi touched the hand, it was like dropping an ice cube into the ocean. It sank in and disappeared without the slightest ripple…

“That’s all?” Wang Baole looked at Chong Yizi, a little disappointed.

This scene instantly made Chong Yizi’s demeanor change again. He forced a smile that was even uglier than crying and spoke in an awkward voice.

“Fellow Daoist Wang, this is all a misunderstanding…”

But before he could finish what he was saying, Wang Baole shook his head. The illusory hand sped up, and Chong Yizi’s clone was swept up without the slightest ability to resist.

Wang Baole didn’t hesitate as he clenched his right hand. The illusory hand was the same. With a muffled boom… Chong Yizi’s body exploded without being able to so much as scream.

And when the hand opened again, there was nothing inside…

“Too weak.” Wang Baole shook his head, completely calm and seemingly full of disappointment. Everyone around him looked at him in shock and horror. They didn’t notice that after retracting his palm, Wang Baole cradled it slightly…

It stung a little.

But Wang Baole would never say that out loud. After leaving Planet Heaven’s Mandate, he discovered that acting like some supreme expert was too damn satisfying. Right now, his only regret was that there weren’t enough people watching him.

However, he still needed to get used to acting like this in his everyday life. Thus, he continued to maintain a serene demeanor as he retracted his Planet and returned to the battleship. He spoke faintly in a voice that seemed unchanged since time immemorial.

"Let’s go."
