📖 Chapter 1145 - Uncle, Help Me!

07 Nov, 2023

Indeed, it wasn’t enough!

A cultivator’s cultivation was divided into the divine soul, the cultivation base, and the fleshly body. These three paths seemed unrelated, but they were actually subtly linked. When a cultivator advanced in one, the other two would be pulled along as well.

However, most people would cultivate only the cultivation base. Few were able to progress simultaneously on all three paths, and those who could achieve this were all peerless figures who dominated the Never-Ending Dao Domain.

This was precisely the state of Wang Baole’s current cultivation. His divine soul had reached the late stage of the Eternal Star Realm, and his fleshly body was even at the peak of the late stage, just a hair away from the great circle. Although his cultivation base was slightly weaker, it was still at the middle stage of the Eternal Star Realm.

As a result, Wang Baole’s battle prowess was no longer the same as it was back when he fought Chong Yizi. Right now, he was dozens of times stronger than before!

This was why he could kill a great circle Eternal Star Realm cultivator with a single slap. Thus, even if a dozen people who were considered Chosen joined forces, in front of Wang Baole, they… were not enough!

Wang Baole’s body didn’t slow down at all; in fact, he accelerated, instantly appearing in front of the dozen cultivators who had joined forces to attack him. The Nightmare Eye appeared behind him, turning its soul-shocking gaze on the dozen enemies and causing their movements to come to a halt.

Next, ten thousand stars arranged themselves into a star chart. Wang Baole’s divine ox projection appeared, rushing forward with earth-shattering momentum. As the divine ox rushed past, the cultivators all coughed up blood, flying backward like kites whose strings had been cut.

A heaven-shaking boom reverberated in all directions. The remaining cultivators’ eyes all opened wide, and huge waves surged in their hearts!

Before anyone could react, Wang Baole took a step forward and appeared right in front of one of the retreating cultivators. This person was a woman, and her appearance was beautiful. However, her eyes were filled with horror as she quickly spoke.

“You-”

But before she could finish her words, Wang Baole punched out, reducing her to a bloody mist. Then, he appeared next to another cultivator and let loose a vicious kick!

In fact, physical might at the peak of the late stage Eternal Star Realm wasn’t enough to achieve this. However, Wang Baole’s myriad stars, which were bolstered by the Star Marking Art, allowed his fleshly body to surpass the limits of its realm.

As soon as Wang Baole’s kick landed, a miserable scream broke out and the person he had kicked directly exploded. Their divine soul couldn’t escape the overwhelming force and also collapsed in an instant!

Things didn’t end there. Cold light flashing in his eyes, Wang Baole suddenly split into three figures. The three Wang Baoles instantly appeared in front of three cultivators whose battle prowess each exceeded Chong Yizi and punched out.

He didn’t use any divine abilities or magical techniques, nor did he bring out any magical treasures. For the current Wang Baole, his bare flesh was his strongest asset, so all he did was deliver three ordinary punches. But each of these three punches carried heaven-shaking, earth-shattering power!

Booms rang out, and his three targets all coughed up blood. Their fleshly bodies couldn’t bear the force and exploded, but as chunks of flesh and blood rained down, their divine souls flew out into the open. Each of them actually had an external object orbiting outside their divine soul!

One was a black wooden sculpture, another was a bloody knife, and the third was a strange scale.

These three objects all emitted the aura of the Star Domain Realm. They were obviously protective treasures granted by the three people’s respective factions. After all, although these three people didn’t rank among the top-tier Chosen of their factions, they were still infinitely close. Thus, when they went out to obtain good fortune this time, they were granted treasures to protect their divine souls.

The moment their fleshly bodies were destroyed, the treasures neutralized the power of Wang Baole’s punches, allowing the three people to barely escape death.

Wang Baole’s eyes narrowed and he snorted coldly. Right now, his focus was on entering the furnace and absorbing the fragmented natural laws, so he didn’t bother chasing. As for the rest, they had also escaped far away by now. Wang Baole didn’t pay any attention to them and just headed straight for the furnace.

This time… none of the cultivators present dared to stop him.

In fact, from the second Wang Baole appeared until now, it had only been a few moments. Everything had happened too fast!

In a short period of time, Wang Baole killed two people and destroyed the fleshly bodies of three, forcing them to use Star Domain Realm protective treasures to save their lives. This made the remaining people feel their scalps turn numb. They saw that Wang Baole was flying toward the furnace with seemingly no intention of bothering them, but they were absolutely terrified that he might suddenly change his mind. One of them quickly spoke.

“I quit! I won’t fight for this furnace anymore!”

“Me too, I quit!”

“Fellow Daoist Wang, please don’t misunderstand. I am also withdrawing from the battle for this furnace!”

As soon as the first one spoke, the others spoke out one after another, afraid of their silence causing a misunderstanding. Wang Baole’s power was really too astonishing, and they even felt like he wasn’t any weaker than a newly-advanced Star Domain Realm Almighty. In particular, his brutality when he attacked shocked them greatly.

Fighting such a fierce person was the same as courting death. Soon, everyone cleared out far away from Wang Baole’s selected furnace. However, they were unwilling to leave just like that, so they joined the battles for the other furnaces, causing the fighting to grow even more intense.

But Wang Baole didn’t care about any of that. Soon, he arrived just outside his target furnace without any obstacles. Aside from himself, there was nobody inside or outside the furnace. Although many pairs of eyes were observing the area, nobody dared to get close.

Everyone was fearful, but at the same time, they couldn’t help but feel envious. Ever since he appeared, Wang Baole had been extremely domineering, suppressing all directions with boundless momentum.

This was the sort of figure that all these Chosen longed to be. It was only natural that they were envious.

But be it fear or envy, Wang Baole didn’t care about any of it. Right now, all he wanted to do was make a breakthrough and allow his fleshly body to step into… the great circle of the Eternal Star Realm!

Thus, Wang Baole quickly stepped into the furnace. Before he could even sit down, he sensed the powerful fragmented natural laws in this place, and his intrinsic scabbard vibrated with desire.

“Sure enough, it’s a good spot!” Wang Baole’s eyes flashed with joy. He was about to sit down and absorb the fragmented natural laws, but at that moment, a violent fluctuation suddenly came out of one of the furnaces that was controlled by the Never-Ending Clan.

This fluctuation spread throughout the starry sky in an instant. The Never-Ending Clan guards sitting outside the furnace immediately called upon their cultivation bases and cooperated to suppress it. At the same time, a hasty voice echoed out from inside the furnace.

“Uncle, help me!”

When this voice fell into Wang Baole’s ears, he felt that it sounded vaguely familiar. Looking up, he suddenly saw the figure of a familiar little girl at the edge of the Never-Ending Clan’s furnace. She seemed to be trying to escape the furnace, but was instantly suppressed by an illusory hand that appeared above her head and forced back into the furnace.

“Fellow Daoist Wang, let us not bother each other.” After the little girl was pressed back into the furnace, an illusory figure rapidly materialized above it.

He was a young man wearing a long, golden robe, with a handsome face and a pair of bright, star-like eyes. Although he was only at the great circle of the Eternal Star Realm like the others, the aura he exuded was clearly far more powerful than everyone else.

That was because he was part of the Never-Ending Clan’s royal family. His Eternal Star wasn’t Earth-grade, but… a Heaven-grade Eternal Star that was exclusive to the Never-Ending Clan!

Even Wang Baole felt a bit dazzled when he saw the young man. But a moment later, his forehead wrinkled slightly and his eyes lit up.

Because… he recognized the figure that had been sent back into the furnace just now. She was none other than the little girl from the Underworld Sect who he’d met in the Starfall Realm!

‘Why isn’t Senior Brother doing anything?’ Wang Baole hesitated for a moment. He was also curious about why the little girl had called him uncle… But in any case, he quickly stepped out of his furnace and looked at the young man from the Never-Ending royal family in the distance.

“Let her go.”

The young man from the Never-Ending Royal Family was silent. The guards around him frowned and looked at Wang Baole with unkind gazes. Although Wang Baole’s previous performance was astonishing, they felt that their prince could do the same.

The Never-Ending Clan prince was silent for a few breaths. Narrowing his eyes, he looked at Wang Baole and spoke slowly.

“Do you really want to be my enemy?”
