đź“– Chapter 1114 - Lord of Never-Ending!
As his body trembled involuntarily, his soul seemed to freeze. This was all due to that gaze from the pair of eyes beyond the vortex. Those eyes contained cold indifference, as well as a monstrous baleful aura!
This baleful aura was so unimaginably powerful that even Wang Baole, who had seen all sorts of terrifying figures in his past lives, couldn’t help but tremble in horror. Whether it was All, Ancient, or Wang Yiyi’s father, in terms of baleful aura… they were all inferior to the being beyond the vortex!
And it was precisely because of this horrifying level of baleful aura that a single gaze could stop Wang Baole in his tracks. He didn’t dare to move at all, instead slowly turning around and glancing down at the mirror seal.
As he did so, he saw purple fog spewing out of the vortex. Although the fog didn’t penetrate the seal, as it curled along the underside, the pair of eyes grew even clearer. Wang Baole seemed to hear the sound of footsteps echoing out from the vortex beneath the seal.
“S-Senior…” Wang Baole nervously recited the Dao Scripture in his heart, but Wang Yiyi’s father still didn’t appear. Full of anxiety, he looked at the pair of purple eyes and listened as the footsteps continued. He quickly opened his mouth to speak.
“Senior Xu, my surname is Wang!”
As soon as he spoke, the footsteps stopped. After a while, a low and cold voice rang out from the vortex beneath the seal.
"You know me?"
“I was with my father-in-law when we met Senior Xu before.” Wang Baole said seriously. He spoke without the slightest bit of hesitation and showed no shame at all, as if he really did consider himself Wang Yiyi’s father’s son-in-law. After speaking, he cupped his fists and bowed deeply.
The purple eyes within the vortex seemed to contain a strange look as a person’s voice rang out.
“Are all Never-Ending Dao Domain cultivators as shameless as you? Although, the place you’re in is just a secondary Never-Ending Dao Domain.” With that, the pair of eyes withdrew its gaze and the sound of footsteps resumed. But as soon as he heard those words, Wang Baole’s pupils instantly contracted and thunder seemed to explode in his mind. He immediately spoke up.
“Senior, you said that this junior is only in a secondary Never-Ending Dao Domain? What does that mean? Isn’t my Never-Ending Dao Domain the real Never-Ending Dao Domain?”
“Little guy, there’s no need for you to try and fool me. I could tell that you already knew some things the moment I saw you. But it won’t hurt to tell you a little more.
“Aside from the main Never-Ending Dao Domain, there are countless secondary Never-Ending Dao Domains scattered all over the various universes like dandelion seeds. The one you’re in is one of them.”
As soon as these words fell into Wang Baole’s ears, his mind seemed to rumble with the sound of heavenly thunder. Chest heaving up and down, he quickly spoke again.
“Senior, please tell me. How do I get to the real Never-Ending Dao Domain?”
The footsteps grew farther and farther away, but Wang Baole could do nothing but wait anxiously. Finally, when the purple fog completely disappeared, a voice seemed to travel an infinite distance and echoed in his mind.
“Wait for the clone of The Emperor in your secondary Never-Ending Dao Domain to awaken.”
“Who is The Emperor?” Wang Baole was deeply shaken.
A long time passed, and he seemed to vaguely hear an answer. But he wasn’t sure if it was just his imagination.
“Lord of Never-Ending!” Wang Baole muttered. This was the answer he thought he’d heard, and this answer caused countless thoughts to whirl in Wang Baole’s mind.
“There are several secondary Never-Ending Dao Domains…? So, the one born at the beginning of the second loop was just a secondary Never-Ending Dao Domain…
“And Senior Xu said that they were scattered across the various universes. In that case, this universe of the second loop is just one of many universes…
“If that’s true, then how powerful is the real Never-Ending Dao Domain? And this Emperor, who’s known as the Lord of Never-Ending, how powerful is he…? And there’s also the clone of The Emperor that Senior Xu talked about. Could it be that The Emperor’s cultivation is related to all the secondary Never-Ending Dao Domains? He needs to scatter countless clones and have them grow up one after another?
“Also… if Senior Xu’s words are true, then in this stele world… who is the clone of The Emperor…?” Wang Baole’s mind was filled with so many thoughts that he felt himself becoming dizzy. The conversation just now was really… mindblowing!
After thinking it through, Wang Baole didn’t know if everything the other party had said was completely true. However, his intuition told him that it should be mostly accurate.
Silent, Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. The more he learned, the more he felt that this world was full of unending mysteries. Wang Yiyi, her father, the ancient ruins, All’s seal, as well as his own original body… the black wooden board from the vortex.
Now, he was completely certain that the vortex in this place was not the one his original body had come through!
“And there’s also the appointment in sixty-eight years…” Wang Baole muttered. After a long while, he buried all his doubts and raised his head. What he felt now was only an extremely strong sense of urgency.
“Even though I have an Eternal Dao Star now, it’s still not enough… I have to get even stronger, and fast!” When his thoughts reached this point, Wang Baole’s eyes flickered with light. He stepped forward, turning into a long arc of light that shot through the sea and leaped up from beneath the paper waves!
As soon as he flew out of the paper sea, Wang Baole immediately caught sight of the Starfall Empire’s delegation.
“Many thanks, Senior! Many thanks, Your Majesty!” Wang Baole cupped his fists and bowed deeply toward the two Starfall Emperors. He didn’t speak too many words of gratitude, but his thanks was engraved deeply into his soul.
Wang Baole knew that if he hadn’t come to the Starfall Realm, it would have been unlikely for his breakthrough to go so smoothly. In fact, there was the risk of his body being destroyed and his Dao disappearing forevermore. Thus, he was extremely grateful to the Starfall Empire.
Seeing that Wang Baole was alive and well, both the founding and current Starfall Emperors breathed sighs of relief. After chatting a bit, Wang Baole took his leave. He didn’t need a boat to escort him anymore; instead, he rose high into the sky and walked right to the end of the Starfall Empire’s spell formation. Then, he turned around and bowed again toward the people of the Starfall Realm.
“If I’m ever needed in the future, just let me know. This Wang will do everything I can!” As he spoke, Wang Baole turned back around and took a step forward. His figure suddenly turned into a black hole, and he… disappeared!
“The outside world will probably see the rise of another legend in the near future!” The current Starfall Emperor stared at the spot where Wang Baole had disappeared, anticipation filling his eyes as he murmured.
“That has nothing to do with us. Wang Baole’s Dao Planet was obtained here, and he broke through to the Eternal Star Realm here. Our Starfall Realm has already sowed enough karma with him. If he rises to prominence, then our kindness will naturally bear fruit. If he doesn’t, then there’s no use in expecting anything.” The founding emperor shook his head and retracted his gaze.
Meanwhile, Wang Baole seemed to merge with the void after his figure disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already in the starry sky outside the Starfall Realm.
There, there was a piece of paper that had been folded in half an infinite number of times. Currently, it was unfolding rapidly, layer after layer, filling the entire starry sky with white paper. As Xie Haiyang, Chen Han, and the others watched attentively, at the center of the white paper appeared… Wang Baole!
With white robes and black hair, his eyes were like stars, his shadow was like the bright moon, and his body was like the blazing sun!
As soon as he appeared, all those present felt their hearts tremble. They couldn’t control the awe in their gazes, and Chen Han’s flattering voice instantly rang out.
“Congratulations, Daddy, on breaking through to the Eternal Star Realm!”
“Congratulations, Sect Uncle. Advancing to the Eternal Star Realm in one fell swoop, Sect Uncle’s talent is rare in the world. From now on, your future is limitless, and there’s no place you cannot go!”
Listening to the words of Chen Han and Xie Haiyang, and savoring the awed looks of everyone else, Wang Baole smiled faintly with the air of an expert. After scanning the surroundings, his gaze fell on a certain spot in the distance… and as he stared at a seemingly empty point in the starry sky, he opened his mouth and spoke slowly.
“Sorry for the wait.”
Almost as soon as Wang Baole spoke, it was as if a curtain was lifted in the place he was looking. There, what appeared was… a tall figure whose expression was grim, and whose eyes were full of wariness…
Chong Yizi!
