📖 Chapter 1137 - Open Mouth!

07 Nov, 2023

As soon as the Mystic Blossom Divine Emperor’s calm voice rang out, the hundreds of thousands of beetle battleships immediately redoubled their efforts. They used all sorts of methods to extract more power from the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao, turning it into huge plumes of green smoke that sank down into the gray region below.

After fusing into the gray region, the green smoke silently disseminated into countless green wisps that flew out in all directions. With that, the region of the starry sky that was originally gray gradually changed color. The gray slowly became tinted with green, and even showed signs of completely turning green.

When the onlookers saw this, they were all shocked. However, they could only see the gray region changing color and couldn’t see the green smoke coming from the Never-Ending Clan’s battleships. If they could, they would be even more shocked, because the green smoke contained the power of the Heavenly Dao that presided over the entire Never-Ending Dao Domain.

This sort of Heavenly Dao power was something only those who had reached the level of a Divine Emperor could use. If anyone else even tried to touch it, they would suffer backlash. It could be seen from this just how precious a thing the green smoke was.

“Something’s strange…” The Flame Patriarch frowned slightly in his position outside the gray region. He looked at the gray region that was slowly changing color, then at the spot above it, where he knew the Never-Ending Clan was hiding. A gloomy light flickered in his eyes.

He didn’t know what was going on inside the gray region, but from his point of view, once the gray region turned completely green, it would probably lead to the breaking of the spell formation.

And once the spell formation was broken, the Underworld Sect’s Heavenly Dao inside would be converted to the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao. At that point, the Split Moon Divine Emperor might have a chance to turn the tables on Chen Qingzi.

‘Chen Qingzi, what are you thinking…’ The Flame Patriarch’s eyes furrowed his brows. In fact, he wasn’t the only one who came to this conclusion. Many of the Star Domain Realm Dao Protectors outside the gray region were making similar guesses at the situation.

But in the world inside the furnace at the center of the gray region, inside a patch of black mist that was corroding the huge body of a Never-Ending Clan member… the Split Moon Divine Emperor’s screams were becoming louder and more miserable.

“Chen Qingzi, you didn’t kill me when you had the chance, but instead reversed the spell formation and turned the nine Dao Furnaces into nine Underworld Furnaces. You want to refine me with the Underworld Furnaces and turn me into a puppet of your Underworld Sect, don’t you? Give up, it’s impossible!”

“Split Moon, you’re thinking too much.” Chen Qingzi smiled slightly. Sitting cross-legged above the black mist, he formed hand seals with his right hand and pointed with his left, causing booms to ring out all over the Split Moon Divine Emperor’s body.

Every time a boom was heard, a huge amount of black mist seeped into the spot he was pointing at. It seemed… to be forcibly turning his Never-Ending Clan body into something else.

“The fish I’m casting bait for is not something so simple.” Chen Qingzi narrowed his eyes. For an instant, they flickered with a dark light, but they returned to normal immediately afterward. His smile didn’t change at all as he continued to point at different positions on the Split Moon Divine Emperor’s body.

The miserable screams continued!

Meanwhile, in the gray region outside the central furnace, the huge vortex around Wang Baole was beginning to dissipate, and the huge amount of green wisps in his surroundings rapidly fused into his flesh, causing the power of his physical body to rise explosively.

After a while, Wang Baole opened his eyes, and beams of light seemed to burst out of them. As he flexed his newly-strengthened muscles, he also checked out his intrinsic scabbard with his divine sense. Right now, the aura it gave off startled even himself.

“This is indeed a land of good fortune!” Wang Baole excitedly licked his lips and glanced around. His Underworld Fire started blazing as he suddenly opened his mouth and took a deep breath.

It was as if heavenly thunder had exploded. Terrifying rumbles instantly echoed out in all directions as huge amounts of deathly aura converged on Wang Baole’s location. As the deathly aura surged into his mouth, Wang Baole’s divine soul trembled and became stronger at a frightening pace. Meanwhile, the black fish that Wang Baole didn’t see also trembled and let out a soundless roar.

The black fish had just been thinking that Wang Baole wasn’t so bad after all, but now it was incredibly anxious. The deathly aura here was the power of the Underworld Sect’s Heavenly Dao, so when Wang Baole swallowed it, the black fish felt as if it itself was being eaten…

This made it extremely anxious. It suddenly disappeared from Wang Baole’s location and reappeared next to Chen Qingzi, roaring repeatedly. However, Chen Qingzi was completely immersed in refining Split Moon and didn’t pay it any attention.

This made the black fish’s feelings of grief and indignation even stronger.

Fortunately… Wang Baole didn’t dare to swallow too much. After inhaling for a short period of time, tens of thousands of green wisps were attracted over.

Wang Baole’s eyes were filled with longing as he looked at the green wisps, but he quickly stopped his absorption and fled into the distance. The green wisps chased for a moment, but after Wang Baole restrained his Underworld Fire, they lost their target and gradually dissipated.

Wang Baole was already familiar with this sequence of actions. Soon, no green wisps were chasing him anymore, and he was free to continue flitting through the gray region in search of the next giant vortex. About an hour later, after passing by countless small and medium-sized vortexes, Wang Baole finally found the site of a second Divine King’s death.

An enormous vortex similar in size to the previous one soon fell into Wang Baole’s eyes. He also saw ten cultivators of various factions meditating inside the vortex.

“How dare you steal my good fortune!” Wang Baole didn’t slow down at all as he charged toward the vortex. Although each of the ten cultivators inside had powerful cultivation bases, they were all weaklings compared to Wang Baole. It was as if he was an adult picking on children.

In fact, the current Wang Baole had long surpassed the caliber of these second-class Chosen. Even among the various factions’ strongest Chosen, he would be able to rank at the top.

Thus, as Wang Baole’s momentum surged and the power of his fleshly body rumbled out, the ten people in the vortex were immediately thrown into a panic. Half an incense stick’s worth of time later… six cultivators had been beaten to death!

The other four ran away in shock and terror.

Wang Baole ignored the escaping cultivators and sat down in the center of the vortex with high spirits. He inhaled sharply, and the fragmented natural laws inside the vortex poured into his body, rapidly fusing into his intrinsic scabbard.

The intrinsic scabbard became redder and redder, glowing with a bloody light that even shone to the outside of Wang Baole’s body. From a distance, Wang Baole looked like a man made of blood.

And soon… the green wisps came surging in from all directions. Because the Never-Ending Clan up above was working hard to pump more green wisps into the gray region, the number of green wisps this time surpassed ten thousand as they rushed toward Wang Baole.

“Time to eat!” Wang Baole’s eyes widened, but he didn’t try to dodge. His whole body was like a black hole that absorbed the green wisps as soon as they touched him. Meanwhile, the black fish also showed up, opening its mouth and eating as fast as it could. The rate at which it swallowed the green wisps wasn’t any slower than Wang Baole, and it glared furiously at the man as it ate. Due to its uniqueness, Wang Baole didn’t notice it at all.

Suddenly, Wang Baole shook, and the power of his fleshly body broke through again!

In an instant, he went from the middle stage of the Eternal Star Realm to the late stage!

At the same time, a new change occurred in his intrinsic scabbard. Its suction force suddenly became stronger, causing even more green wisps to fly over. Originally, Wang Baole had been taking fifty percent of the green wisps, with the black fish taking the other fifty percent. But now, this balance was broken, and it became sixty-forty in favor of Wang Baole!

This made the black fish’s eyes bulge out. It was full of frustration and unwillingness, and more than that, anger.

‘Not just eating my body and stealing my food, he’s actually stealing even more than me!!’ The black fish’s eyes turned red as it finally went berserk. With a savage light in its eyes, it ignored Chen Qingzi’s previous orders and appeared unnoticed behind Wang Baole. Its mouth suddenly opened wide!

The surrounding space seemed to be completely covered in the black fish’s mouth, including Wang Baole’s body. Snapping its jaws shut, it seemed about to devour Wang Baole, but then…

The black fish seemed to faintly hear a strange noise.

“Hee-haw!”
