📖 Chapter 1133 - Heavenly Dao’s Irritation!

24 Oct, 2023

“What kind of luck is this!?” Wang Baole’s eyes widened, and he turned to flee. He couldn’t help but suspect himself of having a bit of a crow’s mouth^[1]. Earlier, he said to send him thirty wisps, and now there were over forty…

His heart shook. Previously, just a few strands had made his hairs stand on end. Although they couldn’t kill him, they still posed a certain degree of danger.

After all, these green wisps of smoke were the power of the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao, which laid down the law in the Never-Ending Dao Domain. Wang Baole’s practice of the Star Marking Art was a serious crime against the Dao Domain, and he was even the Underworld Sect’s Underworld Child. If the power of the Never-Ending Heavenly realized this, it would certainly label him as a remnant of the previous dynasty.

“A serious criminal, as well as a remnant of the previous dynasty…” Sweat beaded on Wang Baole’s forehead, and he immediately accelerated to full speed, rushing out of the vortex at full speed. However, although he wasn’t slow, his speed was affected by the vortex’s suction. Thus, he was unable to escape the green wisps of the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao. They converged on Wang Baole with the intention of annihilating him in body and soul.

Wang Baole was so frightened that his soul almost flew out of his body. He was about to call out to his senior brother and master to save him, but at that moment… the intrinsic scabbard within his body suddenly shone, and an explosive suction force burst out. The green wisps immediately accelerated, pouring into Wang Baole’s body before he could even ask for help.

“Motherfucker, am I really going to die like this!?” Wang Baole instinctively let out a miserable scream. But the moment his scream came out, his eyes suddenly widened. With a surprised and uncertain expression on his face, he turned his gaze inward.

He saw that the green wisps of the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao ripped through his body, shot straight toward his intrinsic scabbard, and then… disappeared.

More than forty wisps of green smoke completely vanished into the mouth of the scabbard in an instant. It all happened so quickly that if not for the stinging pain coming from the destroyed flesh and blood, Wang Baole might have thought he was seeing things.

“Gone?” Wang Baole blinked and immediately checked his intrinsic scabbard. As soon as his divine sense touched it, the scabbard emitted a shocking wave of power.

This power contained not only the power of the scabbard itself, but also the profundities of the fragmented natural laws and the might of the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao. The three types of power fused together in a bizarre manner and spread throughout Wang Baole’s whole body in an instant.

Wherever they passed, Wang Baole’s injuries recovered completely. At the same time, it was as if his flesh and blood had received rain after a drought, greedily drinking in the seemingly unending power.

Wang Baole was shocked. He didn’t dare to act rashly and just observed what was happening in his body. A while later, his eyes were filled with astonishment.

“My intrinsic scabbard is evolving… the fragmented natural laws combined with the power of the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao and triggered the scabbard’s evolution!

“Moreover, the power emitted by the intrinsic scabbard after swallowing fragmented laws and the power of the Heavenly Dao can also bolster my fleshly body greatly!

“This place… is an absolute treasure trove for me!

“I get it now. Senior Brother didn’t just call me here so I could absorb the power of a Divine Emperor, he also wanted me to swallow the deathly aura here. At the same time… he knew that the Never-Ending Clan would release the power of the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao to counteract the deathly aura, so… the green smoke is also something that Senior Brother prepared for me!” It was as if a light bulb had turned on in Wang Baole’s mind. He instantly grew excited.

“Yes, this must be it. Haha, I’m so smart. Senior Brother, thank you, thank you!” Wang Baole laughed. He felt extremely moved, as well as extremely proud. Rather than looking around for more vortexes, he stood in place and activated his Underworld Fire, causing huge amounts of deathly aura to surge toward him.

Deathly aura instantly poured into Wang Baole’s body, increasing the power of his Underworld Fire and even helping to refine his cultivation base. Although his cultivation didn’t leave the early stage of the Eternal Star Realm, he could sense that his battle prowess had improved slightly!

Meanwhile, inside the central furnace in the depths of the gray region, Chen Qingzi put down his jug of wine and raised an eyebrow. Sensing the changes in the deathly aura around him, he muttered.

“Someone’s absorbing it… Aside from me, the only one who can absorb the power of the Underworld Sect’s Heavenly Dao is Little Junior Brother.”

As he spoke, the void next to him suddenly twisted, and a black fish appeared next to Chen Qingzi. This black fish was only the size of a palm, but it almost seemed to contain an entire universe within. As soon as it appeared, it looked at Chen Qingzi and roared.

“I know, I know. Isn’t it just some deathly aura? Little Junior Brother isn’t an outsider. Besides, how much do you think he can even absorb? Don’t worry.” Chen Qingzi spoke some comforting words.

However, the black fish still seemed irritated and roared again.

“Hm, he even swallowed some of your food? That’s fine. Don’t be so stingy. Just because you like eating the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao doesn’t mean that Little Junior Brother will like it. Maybe he’s just curious. In any case, when it comes to that stuff, he won’t be able to swallow too much.”

Under Chen Qingzi’s placating words, the black fish suppressed its irritation and slowly faded away. Meanwhile, out in the gray region, Wang Baole absorbed deathly aura without holding back. It didn’t take long before dozens of wisps of green smoke appeared, charging toward Wang Baole full of killing intent.

“Good! Eat up!” Wang Baole didn’t dodge at all, standing there proudly and letting the dozens of green wisps approach him. A moment later, the three nearest green wisps drilled into his body, and then… exploded!

Wang Baole’s entire body shook, and blood spurted out of his mouth as his vision blanked out.

“You… Why aren’t you eating!?” The intrinsic scabbard inside his body seemed to have a mind of its own. Earlier, it had swallowed quite happily, but now it remained motionless. It didn’t have the slightest reaction to the green wisps that had entered Wang Baole’s body.

Wang Baole’s scalp instantly turned numb. Seeing the rest of the green wisps rushing toward him, he immediately screamed and ran away at full speed, not daring to absorb any more deathly aura. It was only after he exerted himself fully to flee far, far away that the green wisps chasing him slowly dissipated.

“What’s going on here?!” Wang Baole wanted to cry, but he had no tears. He watched as the green wisps of the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao slowly faded, felt the rich deathly aura all around him, and observed his fleshly body again.

After the intrinsic scabbard absorbed the green wisps earlier, it released an energy that strengthened Wang Baole’s fleshly body. Although it didn’t help his cultivation base too much, Wang Baole could already feel that his fleshly body was on the verge of a breakthrough.

“Deathly aura can improve my cultivation base, and the green wisps can improve my fleshly body…” Wang Baole’s eyes slowly reddened. From his perspective, everything around him was a precious treasure. He couldn’t accept not being able to take any. Thus, after thinking about his previous success, he quickly looked around for another vortex.

Soon, he located one. This vortex was a little bigger than the previous one, and there was also someone meditating inside. But right now, Wang Baole’s eyes were completely red. He didn’t care who was inside the vortex and immediately rushed over.

The one in the vortex was a middle-aged cultivator in the late stage of the Eternal Star Realm. He noticed as soon as Wang Baole got close and opened his eyes, intent on teaching this newcomer a lesson.

But a moment later, Wang Baole’s cultivation base suddenly burst out. The Nightmare Eye Art struck, the binding threads of law appeared, and the divine ox projection manifested with a boom!

The middle-aged cultivator’s expression changed drastically and blood spurted from his mouth. Eyes full of shock, his body was knocked flying out of the vortex. But after a moment of hesitation, rather than engaging with Wang Baole, he quickly left with a heart full of frustration.

‘Who the hell is this guy?!’ He didn’t recognize Wang Baole, but he knew that this newcomer was extremely powerful. Moreover, this place was a heaven-sent opportunity for him to gain insights, so he didn’t want to waste time fighting. After engraving Wang Baole’s appearance into his mind, the middle-aged cultivator immediately sped up, rapidly disappearing into the distance.

As for Wang Baole, he wasn’t in the mood for killing right now. Instead, filled with anticipation as well as anxiety, he sat down cross-legged inside the vortex and started absorbing the fragmented natural laws. The intrinsic scabbard inside his body erupted with power, instantly swallowing all the fragmented natural laws in the surroundings. After that, more than seventy green wisps of power from the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao appeared all around him, rushing straight toward Wang Baole.

Targeted by all these green wisps, Wang Baole’s scalp instantly felt a little numb. However, he forcibly resisted his urge to flee and remained in place. He wanted to see if this was the way to absorb the green wisps.

Although there was a certain degree of danger, Wang Baole was unwilling to give up. Thus, in an instant, seven or eight green wisps drilled into Wang Baole’s body. The next moment… Wang Baole’s eyes suddenly lit up.

"As expected!"

He could sense that his intrinsic scabbard was rapidly devouring the green wisps that had entered his body. In his state of excitement, Wang Baole didn’t notice a black fish silently appearing in the void beside him. The black fish seemed full of grievances, as if its food had been snatched away. At this moment, it was staring furiously at Wang Baole.
