đź“– Chapter 1118 - Eternal Star Ax!
As soon as Wang Baole spoke, the sea of runes that had been turned to paper instantly rippled. Countless paper runes smashed into each other, causing rumbling to echo into the surroundings!
At a rate visible to the naked eye, the paper runes turned into scraps as they collided with each other. Of course, Wang Baole certainly wasn’t at ease during this process. After all, the spell formation runes were Chong Yizi’s trump card, and although his Eternal Star was two grades lower than Wang Baole’s Dao-grade, his cultivation base that was two stages higher allowed him to reduce the gap between them. Although the gap couldn’t be completely closed, it was still enough that Wang Baole had to use all his strength to ensure victory!
Thus, Wang Baole’s cultivation base was circulating at full power, and the black hole Eternal Dao Star in the star chart became darker than ever. In fact, Wang Baole was extremely curious… now that he’d broken into the Eternal Star Realm with an Eternal Dao Star, where did he rank among the innumerable cultivators of the starry sky?
“Suppress for me!” As the countless paper runes turned to scraps, Wang Baole formed hand seals again and roared viciously.
The countless scraps of paper suddenly fused together, turning into innumerable paper swords whose tips all pointed toward Chong Yizi. As they whizzed into action, Chong Yizi’s expression couldn’t help but change drastically!
A seemingly infinite number of paper swords filled the starry sky, carrying endless momentum as they charged toward Chong Yizi. Everyone looking at this scene felt their minds shake with awe.
But at this critical moment, Chong Yizi’s eyes flickered brightly. He formed a hand seal, and the Eternal Star behind him suddenly pulsated, like the beating of an enormous heart. As it did so, the approaching paper swords were instantly affected. The closest ones directly collapsed, and then… actually returned to their original state!
They were no longer paper, but spell formation runes once again. However, since they had been destroyed once as paper, their power had dimmed.
Wang Baole’s pupils contracted as he forcefully endured the backlash of having his divine ability broken. Eyes shining brightly, he thrust his hand forward, and the light of the star chart behind him intensified. A second wave of paper swords rushed toward Chong Yizi, then a third, then a fourth… With each wave, the paper swords flew out faster and faster.
Even though Chong Yizi’s Eternal Star pulsated rapidly, destroying wave after wave of paper swords, the number of paper swords was far too great. Moreover, they had the blessing of Wang Baole’s Eternal Dao Star, so although many waves collapsed, there were finally some that broke through, closing in on Chong Yizi with indescribable momentum!
“Wang Baole!!” Chong Yizi’s eyes turned completely red, and he no longer bothered to boast and bluster. Wang Baole’s strength had shocked him again and again. In particular, this most recent wave of paper attacks was extremely difficult to deal with.
Roaring loudly, Chong Yizi lifted his right hand and fell back. Eyes flashing with madness, he suddenly reached out and grabbed his Eternal Star!
“Nine Daos, Enduring Transformation!” As he roared, the Eternal Star behind him twisted and distorted. It was as if Chong Yizi’s right hand had transformed into a black hole, causing the enormous Eternal Star to shrink rapidly!
All of this takes a long time to describe, but in fact it happened in an instant. As the Eternal Star converged on Chong Yizi’s right hand, it transformed into… a red battle ax!
Whether in terms of momentum or aura, this battle ax was clearly far more powerful than the previous long golden spear. It was as if a real Eternal Star was being held tightly in Chong Yizi’s right hand. His eyes were filled with madness as he heavily swung the ax toward the endless sea of paper swords!
This ax swing contained all the power of his Eternal Star, cultivation base, and maximum battle prowess, as if compressing everything about him into a single blow. In an instant, the starry sky shattered and the void cracked. Horrifying rumbling sounds echoed out in all directions, as if heaven itself was splitting apart, as if there was some devil god insistent on ripping all existence apart!
From its aura, this ax swing wasn’t much inferior to Wang Baole’s devil blade. As soon as it appeared, the paper swords in its path all shattered simultaneously, disintegrating to ash as they were destroyed completely and utterly!
It wasn’t just the front, but also everywhere around him. All the paper swords near Chong Yizi were unable to bear the pressure of the ax swing, and wave after wave collapsed. As the starry sky shook and distorted, the sea of paper swords rapidly disintegrated. Finally, when all the paper swords were destroyed, there was only Wang Baole left, staring palely at Chong Yizi and the battle ax in his hand!
Transforming his Eternal Star into a battle ax was obviously Chong Yizi’s ultimate move. His body was trembling furiously, but at this point, there was no longer any room for retreat. He had to fight, and he had to kill Wang Baole! At the very least, he had to inflict severe injuries!
Otherwise, if he with late-stage Eternal Star Realm cultivation lost to someone of the early stage… Even if he was only Earth-grade compared to his opponent’s Dao-grade, as a Dao Child of the Nine Provinces Dao, he would be unable to accept it. Losing this battle would leave a knot in his heart, and breaking through in the future would become nigh impossible!
Thus, after the first swing destroyed the paper swords, Chong Yizi’s eyes became even more bloodshot. Hefting the battle ax again, he swung it viciously at Wang Baole!
He was so fast that Wang Baole didn’t have time to counterattack. As the second ax swing tore apart the starry sky, Wang Baole’s nine clones turned back into quasi-Dao Stars and returned to his body.
Meanwhile, his original body bore the brunt of the ax swing. Blood spilled from the corners of his mouth as he stumbled backward, not stopping in his steps until he was already a thousand zhang away. As he forcefully stabilized his footing, his internal organs felt like they were being ripped apart, and the star chart behind him seemed like it was about to collapse. But rather than despondence, Wang Baole’s expression revealed a hint of excitement!
“Not bad, Chong Yizi. You’re worthy of facing 40% of my power!”
“Wang Baole, shut up! You’re still posturing even now? Who doesn’t know how to brag? Come on, I won’t even use any of my cultivation base, I’ll kill you with just this ax!” Chong Yizi couldn’t take it anymore and scoffed. Up to now, his momentum had been constantly rising, but the moment he spoke… it flagged a bit. The raised ax paused slightly, and the light shining from him also weakened a little.
Wang Baole’s eyes flashed, not missing this opportunity. Circulating his cultivation base a huge figure suddenly appeared in front of him. This figure was peerlessly mighty and held a blazing fire high above his head. It was… the shadow of Wang Baole’s past life as a Burning Torch godling.
As soon as the godling appeared, it immediately rushed toward Chong Yizi. Forehead covered in sweat, Chong Yizi ignored the creaking of his bones and forced himself to swing the ax a third time.
In an instant, the third ax swing made contact with the godling. A boom rang out, but although the ax trembled slightly, the Burning Torch godling directly exploded. However, from within the explosion came an overwhelmingly hate-filled aura. The shadow of another past life slammed into the ax without hesitation.
The battle ax trembled again, causing Chong Yizi to spit out blood. At the same time, Wang Baole’s second past life shadow was also destroyed. But what Chong Yizi didn’t expect was that hidden behind the second past life shadow was… a third past life shadow!
It was the little white deer!
Upon charging out into the open, the little white deer instantly crashed into Chong Yizi’s battle ax!
Everything happened too fast. The repeated appearances of Wang Baole’s past life shadows completely shocked Chong Yizi, and the little white deer in particular seemed to carry some irresistible force. His Eternal Star battle ax finally reached its limit, and as a monstrous sound rumbled in all directions… the battle ax, along with the little white deer, fell apart with a bang!
Chong Yizi screamed miserably, coughing up blood again and again as the aura of his cultivation base instantly weakened. His body was like a kite whose string had been cut as he was instantly sent flying far away. However, despite his obviously serious injuries, after screaming once, he instead burst into laughter.
“Wang Baole, I know that the trump card of your Raging Flame Galaxy is a curse that comes at the cost of your vitality. But my Nine Provinces Dao… is also good at curses. Today, I want to see if you have the guts to really risk your life! My injuries shall become your injuries! Nine Daos… Shared Life Curse!!”
