đ Chapter 1128 - Killed!
The middle-aged cultivator named Luo Zhi moved at lightning speed as he rushed toward Wang Baole, leaving a string of afterimages in his wake. Even as he rushed out, his peak middle-stage Eternal Star Realm cultivation base rumbled forth at full force.
His whole person seemed to have transformed into an Eternal Star, and waves of qi erupted from his body, causing the starry sky all around him to twist and distort. He quickly formed hand seals with both hands, causing magical symbols to fly out and swiftly fuse together. The middle-aged manâs aura suddenly rose even higher, and an illusory figure appeared on top of the Eternal Star floating behind him.
It was a giant beast that looked like a lizard. Its head was raised to the sky, as if it were roaring, and it seemed to be inhaling the qi of heaven and earth. Its momentum was indescribable, and it seemed as if it could swallow the starry sky.
This beast was none other than the Qi Eating Beast, a powerful beast of a bygone era that had now gone extinct.
It was also the totem and symbol of the Qi Eating Sect. Everything of the Qi Eating Sect originated from the Qi Eating Beast!
Being able to summon the illusory figure of the Qi Eating Beast showed that this middle-aged man had extraordinary talent. Even if he wasnât the number on Chosen of the Qi Eating Sect, he was still definitely in the upper echelon.
The middle-aged manâs surging momentum caused the starry sky to tremble. His figure was like an Eternal Star, but also like an ancient Qi Eating Beast. Letting out a shocking roar, he charged toward Wang Baole, whose back was turned and who was walking back toward the divine ox.
All the factions in the surroundings instantly watched as the middle-aged man closed in on Wang Baole. But at that moment, Wang Baole suddenly paused in his steps, turned around with cold eyes, and thrust one finger forward.
âThe first breath!â
As he spoke, a huge eye suddenly rumbled into existence behind him. The pitch-black eye was closed when it appeared, but it quickly opened, revealing an almost demonic pupil that gazed intently at the middle-aged man.
It was⌠the Nightmare Eye Art!
As soon as the eye appeared, its gaze turned into a binding shackle that attacked the middle-aged manâs mind. His body instantly trembled, his expression flickered, and his heart shook. To him, the eyeâs gaze seemed to take physical form, carrying a freezing intent. At that moment, his divine soul really did seem to freeze.
His mind went blank.
âShit!â A moment after his mind blanked out, the middle-aged manâs expression changed drastically. He didnât have time to think and immediately used his remaining awareness to force the figure of the Qi Eating Beast on top of his Eternal Star to self-destruct. With a boom, powerful waves of impact rumbled out, allowing the middle-aged man to recover his consciousness immediately.
However, Wang Baole didnât care whether the man recovered or not. Instead, after unleashing the Nightmare Eye Art, he pointed his finger again with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"The second breath!"
The Eternal Dao Star immediately appeared behind Wang Baole, as well as the nine quasi-Dao Stars and the ten thousand Special Stars. As deafening rumbling sounds echoed out, all the celestial bodies behind Wang Baole shone with dazzling light and erupted with the power of natural law. Each of their natural laws turned into threads that shot toward the middle-aged cultivatorâs body, binding it tightly.
The Nightmare Eye Art shook the mind and suppressed the divine soul, and threads of law from ten thousand stars suppressed the fleshly body!
Under this twofold suppression, the middle-aged cultivator was left helpless. Although he forcibly restored his mental faculties by blowing up the Qi Eating Beast projection, his fleshly body was tightly bound by threads of law. The onlookersâ pupils contracted, and the old man outside the black mist bell also had a shocked expression.
It was little wonder that he was so shocked. The Never-Ending Dao Domain was just too big, so although the Never-Ending Holy Region knew things about the Left Dao Holy Region, there was often a delay in their information. Even as the old manâs expression shifted, Wang Baoleâs finger jabbed out a third time!
âThe third breath!â
As soon as his words came out, the ten thousand Special Stars in Wang Baoleâs star chart rearranged themselves. With the Eternal Dao Star at the center and the nine quasi-Dao Stars as the core, the divine ox projection appeared in an instant. This divine ox raised its head and let out a roar that shook everyoneâs hearts, then burst into motion.
It was so fast that the world seemed to tremble in its wake. Looking from a distance, the divine ox manifested from the star chart was no different from the real one. Its entire body was covered with raging flames that seemed capable of incinerating all creation. Carrying momentum surpassing the pinnacle of the Eternal Star Realm, the ox charged directly toward the middle-aged cultivator!
Everyone who saw this scene instantly wore expressions of shock. The old man outside the black mist bell was even more astonished and instantly moved to rescue the middle-aged man. However, that was when the Flame Patriarch let out a long laugh and slapped out with his right hand.
An invisible force suddenly appeared in front of the old man, converging into a giant palm. As soon as the palm made impact, the old manâs whole body trembled and he coughed up blood as he retreated.
And his retreat meant that it was impossible to carry out his rescue mission. Thus, under the shocked gazes of all the onlookers, the divine ox projection of Wang Baoleâs star chart smashed past the middle-aged cultivator from the Qi Eating Sect.
Restrained by Wang Baoleâs two previous attacks, the middle-aged man didnât have the slightest chance to resist. His fleshly body instantly turned to ash, and his divine soul was also consumed by the flames.
He had been completely killed in body and soul!
The surroundings were eerily silent as all eyes focused on Wang Baole. Indeed, from the beginning of the fight until now, only three breaths of time had passed!
In three breaths of time, with a cultivation base at the early stage of the Eternal Star Realm, Wang Baole had killed someone at the middle stage. Such a result naturally shocked everyone. Even those from the Left Dao Holy Region who knew about Wang Baoleâs battle with Chong Yizi were still shocked by the scene in front of them.
After all, there was a huge difference between hearing about something and seeing it with your own eyes. At the same time⌠defeating Chong Yizi and killing a middle stage Eternal Star Realm cultivator in three breaths were also two different concepts!
âA formidable opponent!â
âI seem to have heard news about someone in the Left Dao Holy Region advancing their Dao Planet. That personâs name was⌠Wang Baole?â
âEternal Dao Star⌠Interesting, interesting!â
At the same time, Wang Baoleâs figure was deeply engraved in the hearts of all the top Chosen waiting to enter the gray region.
These people came in all shapes and sizes. There were some who gave off the aura of the five elements, there were some whose bodies were covered in heaven-shaking suits of armor, and there were even some with blood beads floating around their bodies, exuding a monstrous bloody aura.
There were also some whose bodies seemed to be between illusion and reality, making it impossible to see them clearly. And there were some cultivators who seemed to be similar to divine spirits â a personâs eyes would sting just from looking at them.
There were too many factions here and an inordinate number of Chosen. But it was obvious that those who could be called Chosen here were not weak in the slightest. None of them were lacking in battle prowess.
And right now, as Wang Baoleâs figure fell into their eyes, all of them felt a little wary.
After all, Wang Baole had won in an extremely relaxed manner. Nobody could tell how many trump cards he still had in reserve.
Under everyoneâs gazes, Wang Baole turned to look at the Flame Patriarch with an unaffected expression. Cupping his fists, he bowed deeply.
âDisciple is fortunate to have not failed Masterâs expectations.â
âGood, very good. Back then, your First Senior Sister was severely injured by the Qi Eating Sectâs ancestor, that lackey of the Never-Ending ClanâŚâ The Flame Patriarchâs eyes flashed with an icy light as he slowly spoke.
Wang Baoleâs eyes grew cold as he looked up. He knew very well that when his master said âseverely injuredâ, he really meant⌠killed.
In silence, Wang Baole turned back around and looked at the old man in front of the black mist bell, whose expression was peerlessly ugly. Then he looked at the pale and furious cultivators sitting on the bell. Picking out an Eternal Star Realm young man at random, Wang Baole pointed his finger again.
âI donât like the look in your eyes, either. Come here, Iâll kill you in two breaths.â
The expression of the young man singled out by Wang Baole instantly changed drastically.
âJunior, donât go too far!â The old man in front of the black mist bell instantly shouted in fury.
âMaster, that old man is threatening me.â Wang Baole raised a brow and spoke innocently. The Flame Patriarch coughed and waved his right hand. In an instant, tempestuous force erupted that forced the old man back again. His body was trembling violently, and his eyes were red with madness.
Wang Baole ignored the infuriated old man. Since his master wasnât afraid, then Wang Baole himself had nothing to fear. He decided that he would help vent some of the resentment in his masterâs heart today. At worst⌠he would just have to enter the gray region and go find his senior brother.
He pointed arrogantly at the Qi Eating Sectâs disciples on the black mist bell.
âWhat, you donât dare? Then all of you can come together. That way, I can kill to my heartâs content.â
âYou!!â Dozens of cultivators on the black mist bell instantly rose to their feet in anger. However, anger was all they had. No one dared to step forward!
