đź“– Chapter 1107 - Arrival of the Original Body!
Despite all his efforts, Chong Yizi’s clone was unable to escape the fate of being destroyed by Wang Baole’s attack. And at that moment, far away in the Nine Provinces Dao’s headquarters, the eyes of Chong Yizi’s vast original body suddenly opened!
As soon as they did, a monstrous sea of fire instantaneously spread outward. The void in all directions was swallowed up in flames.
As the void burned and the starry sky twisted, Chong Yizi’s complexion became a bit pale, and his left arm suddenly withered. Although he didn’t spit blood, his aura became noticeably weaker.
Surprise flickered in his eyes, as well as a sinister glint as he brows slowly wrinkled.
“My clone died?” Chong Yizi’s expression was dark. However, he didn’t know exactly what had transpired. The seal that blocked off karma was designed to deceive a Star Domain Realm Almighty, after all, so his connection with his clone had been cut off as soon as the barrier of purple light appeared.
Thus, he only knew that the clone had seen Wang Baole’s battleship fly out of the Heaven’s Mandate Star System, and that he’d fought with a few Eternal Star Realm Dao Protectors. He had no clue what had happened afterward.
“Is there some powerhouse hiding in Wang Baole’s battleship? Or maybe there’s an extraordinary figure among his Dao Protectors, or… did Reverend Heaven-Learned intervene?” Chong Yizi couldn’t figure it out. However, he felt that the last possibility was the least likely. The most likely… was that there was someone among Wang Baole’s Dao Protectors with extraordinary battle prowess.
As for the possibility that his clone had been killed by Wang Baole himself… such a thing was completely impossible, so the thought didn’t even cross his mind.
“It looks like the Flame Patriarch is especially generous to this disciple of his…” Chong Yizi snorted coldly. Narrowing his eyes, he looked down at his withered left arm. Killing intent burst out from his body.
“Daring to destroy my clone… how can it end like this? Although the Flame Patriarch is strong, it’s not like I don’t have a master myself!” When his train of thought reached this point, Chong Yizi narrowed his eyes and gradually rose to his feet. As he stood up, the starry sky all around him rumbled, and horrifying pressure spread out. The space in his surroundings seemed unable to bear it, and even the void itself began fragmenting.
There were even threads of law twisting around him, serving as contrast that made Chong Yizi seem even more amazing.
In fact, Chong Yizi was indeed an amazing figure. Late-stage Eternal Star Realm cultivation was impressive enough, but his Eternal Star was also Earth-grade. Thus, his battle prowess was exceptionally high, enough to easily destroy Profound-grade Eternal Star Realm cultivators who were in the great circle of the realm. Moreover, he had been in seclusion for a long time, and had made contact with the barrier to the great circle. Although he hadn’t broken through yet, he wasn’t far away.
And once he broke through to the great circle of the Eternal Star Realm, the next step would be a trial akin to a carp leaping over the dragon gate. If he succeeded… the Nine Provinces Dao would have an additional Star Domain Realm Almighty!
At the same time, this breakthrough was related to the factional struggle in the Nine Provinces Dao. Namely, it was a competition between Chong Yizi and the first-ranked Dao Child, Fei Lingzi – whoever reached the Star Domain Realm first would take over leadership of the Nine Provinces Dao.
“At such a critical moment, my clone was destroyed…” Chong Yizi’s eyes flickered with cold light. He was extremely vexed right now. If it wasn’t for him owing Zi Yue a favor, he wouldn’t have even bothered taking action, but now that his clone had been destroyed, he had to go all-out to resolve the issue. If he didn’t, then his Dao Heart would become flawed, making it difficult for him to advance his cultivation base.
“Fine, I’ll just go out and grab myself a Dao Planet then.” Chong Yizi’s body flickered, and the next moment he appeared in the starry sky outside the Nine Provinces Dao headquarters. Lifting his right hand to perform some calculations, he quickly turned toward the direction his clone had died and began moving, appearing countless li away with each step!
Meanwhile, far away from Chong Yizi, Wang Baole’s fleet of battleships were also moving at astonishing speed, heading straight toward the entrance to the Starfall Realm.
Although it was still quite a distance away, the entrance to the Starfall Realm was much closer than Chong Yizi. Thus, although Chong Yizi moved far faster, the fleet of battleships still gradually closed in on its destination.
Finally, half a month later, Wang Baole saw a blank white galaxy in the distance…
This white galaxy looked just as he remembered. It was… a paper galaxy. Or perhaps it was more accurate to call it a paper starry sky.
The battleships came to a halt at the edge of the galaxy. As Xie Haiyang and Chen Han watched in curiosity, Wang Baole stepped out of the chief battleship and looked at the white expanse in front of him. After thinking for a moment, he decided to show respect and not ride the battleship inside. Instead, he told everyone to stay behind and walked forward on his own, stepping into the white expanse of paper.
Almost as soon as he did, ripples spread out from underneath his feet. The paper expanse beneath him undulated gently like a paper sea.
Wang Baole’s expression didn’t change, and he continued to walk forward. A few days later, he arrived at the center of the paper galaxy, the place where the Starfall Boat had brought him back then. Looking at the void all around him, Wang Baole cupped his fists and bowed deeply.
“An old friend is here to visit. Senior Starfall Emperor, please let me in.”
Although he had maintained the attitude of an expert on the way here, as well as having a mentality that could disregard the entire stele world due to his experiences in his past lives, Wang Baole didn’t show any hint of that at the moment. He knew very well that there were times he should put away his attitude.
For example, if he tried to act high and mighty right now, it would be counterproductive.
After bowing once, Wang Baole waited silently. Ten breaths of time passed before a voice filled with the vicissitudes of life echoed throughout the starry sky.
"Please come in!"
As soon as the voice rang out, the entire paper galaxy suddenly fluctuated. In an instant, the white expanse beneath Wang Baole’s feet became like a real piece of paper, folding in half once, then twice, then again and again.
After folding countless times, the width of the paper galaxy became thinner and thinner, but it also grew higher and higher. Such a phenomenon was somewhat contrary to ordinary logic, but it was exactly what was happening. Outside the range of the galaxy, the people in the battleships all watched on with shock, and Wang Baole’s figure in their hearts became more and more unfathomable.
They knew that the Starfall Realm always ignored the affairs of the outside world. Aside from the fixed quotas for entry, even Star Domain Realm Almighties wouldn’t necessarily be able to enter.
But Wang Baole… managed to enter just like that. This incident caused Xie Haiyang to become even more set on satisfying Wang Baole, and Chen Han was even happier that he’d recognized this person as his daddy.
Subconsciously, the two people glanced at each other.
“Tch!”
"Hmph!"
They quickly looked away and even scooched some distance apart…
Meanwhile, just as Wang Baole entered the Starfall Realm… Chong Yizi’s original body stepped out of the void. He stood there seemingly without concealing himself, but Xie Haiyang and the others didn’t notice him at all.
Watching the paper galaxy fold in half over and over, eventually turning into a white light that disappeared behind the starry sky, Chong Yizi’s eyes narrowed.
He had already scanned the fleet of battleships, and knew that no one in there could threaten his clone. Thus, more speculations arose in his heart.
“The one who killed my clone has already left?
“Or maybe they’re from the Starfall Realm?
“Interesting…” While muttering to himself, Chong Yizi glanced at the battleships again before no longer paying attention to them. He didn’t plan on capturing and soulsearching the people inside. With his original body personally making an appearance, he was completely confident in resolving any issues that cropped up and had no desire to hear the answers to his questions in advance.
After all, it was only with such unknown variables that his boring life could become a little more colorful. Smiling faintly, Chong Yizi sat down cross-legged in the starry sky.
Although Wang Baole had entered the Starfall Realm, he still had to come out eventually. Once he came out, Chong Yizi would kill him, and everything would be revealed.
“I hope you don’t disappoint me.”
