📖 Chapter 1127 - Establishing Prestige!

24 Oct, 2023

Wang Baole suddenly felt a little weary.

He thought back to the Raging Flame Galaxy. His senior brothers and sisters, the birds in the sky, and even some of the flowers and trees… were all essentially his master.

Even the divine ox, the so-called guardian beast of the Raging Flame Galaxy… his master was perfectly content being his own mount, so being the guardian beast of his galaxy was obviously a non-issue.

‘Fortunately, none of Master’s disciples have a Dao Companion. Otherwise…’ For some reason, Wang Baole’s thoughts veered in a strange direction. But it was also at this moment that the divine ox suddenly turned its head and looked at him. The Flame Patriarch, too, gave Wang Baole a deep glance.

Wang Baole suddenly became a bit tense. Just as he was about to speak, the Flame Patriarch’s voice echoed faintly in his ears.

“Baole, you’ve been slacking off in your cultivation recently. If you can’t break through this time… Sigh, Master’s divine ox has had some problems with its digestive system recently. When we go back, you should enter its stomach and help clear things out.”

“Master…” Wang Baole looked like he was about to cry. He was obviously being punished.

The Flame Patriarch ignored Wang Baole’s plaintive expression. He patted the divine ox, and the latter instantly roared and charged forward. It had no intention of traveling in anything but a straight line, so the giant magical treasures and vicious beasts of the factions in front of it had no choice but to quickly dodge out of the way with scowling expressions.

As a result, the divine ox was unimpeded as it rushed directly from the outer edge to a spot just outside the gray region surrounded by fog. Every faction that could make it here was a big name among the Never-Ending Dao Domain’s three holy regions. The Nine Provinces Dao was in this area, as was the Seven Spirits Sect and many more pinnacle factions.

Over a hundred powerful factions could be seen just in the area visible to the naked eye. The treasures and beasts carrying them was also obviously a level higher than those of the outside factions, and they carried overwhelming momentum even as they floated there.

With a quick sweep of his gaze, Wang Baole saw a jade kite, a huge bell made of black mist, and giant boxes made of metal. On top of each treasure was a large group of cultivators sitting cross-legged in meditation. Their cultivation bases varied, but each faction had a powerhouse of the Star Domain Realm taking charge.

Wang Baole saw more Star Domain Realm cultivators here than he had in his entire life. Although most of the Star Domain Realm cultivators here were only at the early stage of the realm and thus couldn’t be compared with the Flame Patriarch, the aura they exuded still made Wang Baole’s heart tremble.

It wasn’t just Wang Baole who was like this, but Xie Haiyang as well. However, as shock struck both of their hearts, the Flame Patriarch snorted. The divine ox suddenly rushed toward the huge black mist bell.

“Outta the way! I want this spot. Scram for me!”

There were dozens of cultivators sitting on the bell, mostly Planet Realm cultivators with five or six in the Eternal Star Realm. When the Flame Patriarch’s voice rang out, all of them quickly opened their eyes, expressions shifting.

But a cold snort instantly echoed out from inside the bell. Soon, the figure of an old man emerged from the black mist. He had a black flame imprint on his forehead, and as soon as he appeared, he shot the Flame Patriarch a glare and roared.

“Raging Flame, what do you want to do!?”

“Little bastard, how dare you talk to me like that? What do I want to do? I want to fuck you up!” The Flame Patriarch glared right back and sat down with a thump. The divine ox’s eyes instantly burst into flames, and its speed increased as it charged right toward the black mist bell!

“How dare you!!” The old man’s expression changed, and he instantly formed hand seals with both hands. The black mist bell tolled, but what came out was not a crisp ring but instead a muffled roar, like the howl of a giant beast.

“How dare I? How dare I?! Granddaddy here is gonna go to your Qi Eating Sect and give you a taste of the curse that I’ve been holding back for thousands of years! Come on, you think I dare or not?!”

When they saw this scene, all the factions in the surroundings instantly made some distance. The Star Domain Realm Almighties overseeing everything frowned deeply.

“Why is that old thief Raging Flame here?”

“Damn it, he’s always so arrogant. And he always says the same damn thing!”

“It can’t be helped. I can’t afford to offend him!”

As everyone in the surroundings backed away, the old man in front of the black mist bell had an ugly expression on his face. In truth, he was filled with helplessness inside. When he saw the divine ox continue its charge without showing the slightest sign of slowing down, the old man flicked his sleeves and brought his sect’s magical treasure to retreat tens of thousands of zhang away. Gritting his teeth, he rebuked loudly.

“Raging Flame, we’re all here for the sake of our juniors. Why do you have to be so aggressive the moment you appear? Even if you don’t care about yourself, you should think a little about your disciples. After all, once they enter the battlefield, they won’t be able to rely on your protection anymore!” The old man spoke in a sinister manner. Glancing past the Flame Patriarch, he looked at Wang Baole and Xie Haiyang with undisguised malevolence. At the same time, one of the cultivators sitting on the black mist bell behind him straightened their back, eyes shining brightly.

This person looked to be a middle-aged man. His cultivation base was at the peak of the middle stage of the Eternal Star Realm, only half a step away from the late stage. Right now, his gaze was full of provocation and viciousness as he looked at Wang Baole and Xie Haiyang.

“Are you trying to make a threat?” The Flame Patriarch grinned. A dangerous aura wafted off his entire body as he glanced back at Wang Baole and Xie Haiyang.

“You two have been threatened. What do you think of that?”

Wang Baole rolled his eyes. He was about to speak, but Xie Haiyang suddenly cleared his throat. First, he cupped his fists toward the Flame Patriarch, then toward Wang Baole. Finally, he looked at the old man in front of the black mist bell and spoke with a smile.

“Senior, my surname is Xie. My grandmaster said that you were threatening me just now?”

“Xie?” The old man was startled. His Qi Eating Sect wasn’t located in the Left Dao Holy Region, but rather the Never-Ending Holy Region. Thus, he didn’t know much about the Flame Patriarch’s disciples.

“Yes, ‘Xie’ of the Xie Family. The nine furnaces that the Split Moon Divine Emperor used to trap Senior Chen Qingzi were made by my father.” Xie Haiyang smiled and gestured toward the gray region.

As soon as his words came out, everyone who was paying attention instantly took a second look at Xie Haiyang, their pupils contracting slightly. The old man’s expression also changed.

Seeing this, Wang Baole sighed internally. He was a little envious of Xie Haiyang’s ability to show off.

‘In the end, I’m just not courageous enough. If I was, then I would stand up and simply say that Chen Qingzi is my senior brother…’

Saying that would certainly shock everyone here. But if he did that, then today would really be the day that his master unleashed the curse he’d been holding back for thousands of years.

By the time it took his thoughts to reach this point, everyone was already looking at him with solemn expressions. Wang Baole sighed internally.

‘Master just wants us to establish our prestige, huh…’ Shaking his head, Wang Baole stepped off of the divine ox and out into the starry sky. Raising a finger, he pointed at the middle-aged Eternal Star Realm cultivator who had been looking at him provocatively earlier.

“I don’t like that look in your eyes. Come here. I will… kill you in three breaths.”

As soon as he spoke, an incredibly domineering aura erupted from Wang Baole’s body, causing his momentum to surge wildly. The Flame Patriarch laughed out loud while the old man outside the black mist bell narrowed his eyes. As for the middle-aged man on the bell whom Wang Baole had pointed to, he stood up with a cold snort.

“Kill me in three breaths? Ridiculous!” As he spoke, he cupped his fists and bowed toward the old man.

“Elder Zhou, please allow this disciple to make a move and kill this arrogant fellow!”

The old man in front of the black mist bell narrowed his eyes. He looked at the Flame Patriarch, who was still smiling, and then at Wang Baole. Then, he opened his mouth and slowly spoke.

“What need is there for killing? Friendly sparring is enough.”

“Sparring? I’m not interested.” Wang Baole shook his head and turned around, ready to go back to the ox. The Flame Patriarch laughed again, booming loudly.

“Qi Eating Sect? More like Shit Eating Sect!”

“Raging Flame!” The old man’s eyes flashed with cold light as he spoke in a deep voice.

“You want your disciples to establish their prestige here, intimidate everyone else, and gather momentum so that no one will dare compete with them once they enter the battlefield. You want them to be able to focus all their efforts on obtaining insights… Fine then. Since you’re so confident in this disciple of yours, then I would like to see what a mere early stage Eternal Star Realm cultivator is capable of!

“Luo Zhi, if you can’t kill him, your qualification to enter the battlefield will be revoked on the spot!” The old man turned to the black mist bell behind him and shouted. Immediately, the middle-aged man jumped up and rushed toward Wang Baole like a shooting star!
