📖 Chapter 1115 - Solemn Chong Yizi!

11 Oct, 2023

Wang Baole and Chong Yizi’s gazes met, staring at each other from across the starry sky!

“Wang Baole?” Chong Yizi said in a low voice. His expression was somewhat uncertain. According to his information, Wang Baole was only in the Planet Realm. Even if he miraculously broke through to the Eternal Star Realm, he would only be in the early stage.

And even if Wang Baole managed to obtain an Earth-grade Eternal Star like himself, as long as he wasn’t in the late stage of the Eternal Star Realm, Chong Yizi wouldn’t need to worry at all. But the person in front of him now… actually gave him a sense of crisis unlike anything he’d ever felt before.

Just staring at this newcomer made Chong Yizi feel a sort of trembling in his mind. In his entire life, he only ever had a similar feeling when looking at the first-ranked Dao Child, but even then, it wasn’t as strong as it was now.

Thus, Chong Yizi was currently full of disbelief. It was difficult for him to conclude that the person in front of him was really Wang Baole.

“Chong Yizi.” On the other hand, Wang Baole recognized Chong Yizi immediately. After all, he could sense the aura of the clone he’d killed before.

Although this aura was very faint, to Wang Baole’s current self, it was clear as day.

Meanwhile, Xie Haiyang and the others only now realized that someone had been hiding nearby all along. Their expressions instantly changed as they rapidly scanned the surroundings, and when they saw Chong Yizi’s upright figure, their pupils all contracted!

Soon, some people recognized this person as Chong Yizi’s true self and whispered his true identity. Everyone’s hearts palpitated. Here in the Left Dao Holy Region, the name of Chong Yizi was extremely illustrious!

After all, he was the second-ranked Dao Child of the Nine Provinces Dao, and the Nine Provinces Dao was the Left Dao Holy Region’s number one sect. Its Star Domain Realm Almighties numbered more than ten, giving it the absolute strength to suppress all other sects in the holy region!

There were even rumors that the sect ancestor’s cultivation base had surpassed the Star Domain Realm and broken into the Universe Realm! Such a cultivation base was comparable to the nine Divine Emperors of the Never-Ending Clan!

The name of Nine Provinces Dao carried incredibly heavy weight in the entire Never-Ending Dao Domain. Thus, as the sect’s second-ranked Dao Child, Chong Yizi was famous not just in the Left Dao Holy Region, but even in the Unorthodox Holy Region and the central domain that housed the Never-Ending royal family.

To describe him as a Chosen among Chosen was well-deserved, and he was also one who had fully matured. After undergoing countless battles through his life, he was far from a flower in a greenhouse. He had relied on no one but himself to kill his way to the position of second-ranked Dao Child.

However, Chong Yizi usually went out as a clone, so not many people knew his true appearance.

At that moment, seeing Wang Baole not denying his identity, Chong Yizi suddenly felt stifled.

Even if he didn’t want to believe it, it looked like the person in front of him really was Wang Baole. He felt anger flare in his heart; anger toward the person who asked him to come kill Wang Baole without providing proper information.

If not for that person, he wouldn’t find himself in this passive position and having formed a grudge against this formidable person. Chong Yizi had already figured out that his clone hadn’t been killed by any hidden expert, but rather by Wang Baole himself.

And it was precisely because of his clone’s death that Chong Yizi could no longer back down. This battle… had to be fought. If he retreated without a fight, it would negatively affect his Dao Heart.

‘Zi Yue, you deserve to die!’ Chong Yizi was completely infuriated, but he didn’t show any of that on his face. Instead, he revealed only a solemn expression as he cupped his fists and bowed.

“Fellow Daoist Baole, this is a misunderstanding. I wonder if you know someone named Zi Yue…” His words were slow and seemingly sincere. There seemed to be some strange cadence to his voice, making people subconsciously focus their attention on listening.

But as soon as he said the words “Zi Yue”, Chong Yizi’s eyes suddenly flashed with killing intent. Rather than finish speaking, he shot forward with a rumble.

His speed was astonishingly fast, and it didn’t take more than an instant to close the distance between him and Wang Baole. As soon as he appeared next to Wang Baole, white brilliance shone from his right hand, turning into a sword that instantly slashed down!

Everything happened too fast. One moment, Chong Yizi was in the distance, speaking with complete sincerity. The next, his killing intent had already burst out. Anyone else might have been caught unawares, or been too slow to react to his attack. Although this blow wouldn’t kill them, it would still inflict injury.

However, Chong Yizi had underestimated Wang Baole. Although he rose up through many life and death battles, how could he possibly have experienced more than all of Wang Baole’s past lives? In terms of battle experience, Wang Baole had already reached a certain pinnacle.

So although Chong Yizi’s approach was abrupt, Wang Baole had already activated the power of his Eternal Star. Endless mist spewed out of his body and rapidly condensed into a finger.

Looking carefully, it could be seen that this finger was somewhat similar to the lightning finger from his tribulation. Indeed, by referencing his tribulation and making some adjustments, Wang Baole’s Misty Cloud Finger had undergone a new evolution.

As soon as it appeared, heaven and earth seemed to dim. The finger shot out toward Chong Yizi, who had wanted to seize the initiative through a surprise attack.

In an instant, a deafening boom rang out in all directions as Wang Baole’s finger met Chong Yizi’s sword. A violent shock wave spread out, and Chong Yizi’s body shook as he staggered backward. Face slightly rosy, Wang Baole looked at the staggering Chong Yizi with excitement evident in his eyes.

“Not bad!”

Wang Baole’s eyes were shining brightly. He had been curious about his battle prowess, and now there was Chong Yizi to test himself against. Chong Yizi was someone with a high cultivation base, a high-grade Eternal Star, and even abundant battle experience. He could be said to be a person without any major defects, so he was also the best testing tool for Wang Baole.

Thus, Wang Baole was highly interested in this battle. His body flickered as he quickly pursued the retreating Chong Yizi.

But just as he was about to close in on Chong Yizi, Wang Baole’s eyes suddenly narrowed. He vaguely felt that there was something off, so his body that seemed to be moving forward abruptly shifted backward. Because he was going so fast and changed directions so quickly, he left an afterimage in front of him.

And as soon as Wang Baole moved backward, Chong Yizi’s staggering and shocked demeanor was suddenly nowhere to be seen. Lifting his head, he let out a low roar, and the illusory figure of a huge black lizard appeared behind him. The lizard was hundreds of zhang long, and as soon as it appeared, it snapped toward Wang Baole’s afterimage and swallowed it up in one gulp!

A deafening boom rang out, and powerful fluctuations rippled through the starry sky. The lizard seemed to have chomped down on the void itself, causing the starry sky in that location to collapse.

“Sure enough, there was a trick!” Wang Baole’s eyes shone even brighter. If he were weak, then he would have preferred fighting a simple and brainless enemy. Although the battle wouldn’t be interesting, he would have a high chance of winning and thus living another day. But now that he was strong, the kinds of opponents he preferred were those like Chong Yizi, who had various tricks and methods of battle!

Just now, if Wang Baole hadn’t been vigilant and dodged out of the way, he would have been swallowed up by the lizard. Although the attack couldn’t kill him, it had clearly been prepared for a long time. Injury would have been unavoidable. Moreover, if he fell into a trap just like that, his expert’s demeanor would have naturally fallen apart.

After avoiding the lizard’s attack, Wang Baole calmly waved his right hand. In an instant, the Misty Cloud Finger appeared again, shooting straight toward Chong Yizi!

Chong Yizi’s expression was dark. He had indeed been preparing for this moment. That attack not only damaged the divine soul, but also contained a hidden poison that was almost completely unnoticeable!

Even Wang Baole wasn’t aware of this, and the poison wouldn’t leave behind any traces even if it hit. However, Chong Yizi’s divine abilities allowed him to stack layer after layer of poison, exploding all at once at a critical moment.

This was a technique that allowed Chong Yizi to defeat even people more powerful than him. It was difficult to use multiple times, but in many battles, it had allowed him to unexpectedly turn the tides. Anyone who relied on the superiority of their cultivation base would suffer greatly from the insidious attack.

But Wang Baole had actually noticed and avoided the attack in advance. This made Chong Yizi immediately realize that the person in front of him… wasn’t easy to deal with!
