đ Chapter 1148 - Bizarre Little Girl!
Wang Baoleâs pupils contracted even further, and his scalp instantly turned numb. No matter how rampantly he spread his divine sense, he couldnât sense the little girlâs existence at all. As his thoughts whirled, rather than continue conversing with Chen Qingzi, he instead called out to Little Missy.
However, Little Missy didnât respond. Normally, Wang Baole might not have thought anything of her non-responsiveness, but today, he had an indescribably strange feeling about it.
Fortunately, Little Fifth, Little Donkey, and the little black fish returned at that moment. Although they were far away from the furnace where he was located, Wang Baole could still sense them.
âLittle Fifth, Little Donkey, come here!â As soon as he sensed them, Wang Baole called out. Soon, Little Fifth and Little Donkey made their way to Wang Baoleâs side under the wary gazes of all the onlookers.
The little black fish did the same, but no one could see it. Wang Baole ignored the little black fish and immediately transmitted his voice to Little Fifth and Little Donkey.
âTell me everything that I did after entering this central area!â
Little Fifth raised his eyebrows in surprise, and Little Donkey looked at Wang Baole in bewilderment.
âHurry up and say it!â Wang Baole frowned, feeling inexplicably vexed. Seeing his expression change, Little Fifth quickly responded.
âDaddy, the moment you arrived, some blind fool jumped out to block you and got swatted to death. Then you went to seize a furnace and were besieged by more than a dozen stupid ingrates. But those guys had no idea that you were so amazing and powerful. You easily killed a bunch of them, and the others got so scared that they immediately ran away. After that, no one dared to interfere as you occupied the furnace with invincible might!â
âHee-haw!â Little Donkey quickly nodded in agreement.
âAnd then?â Wang Baole asked, narrowing his eyes.
âAnd then? And then that suicidal prince of the Never-Ending Clan decided to provoke you. You got mad, and then went and crushed him.â Little Fifth looked at Wang Baole strangely.
âHow did he provoke me?â
âHuh? He just walked out of that furnace and swore at you.â Little Fifthâs expression became even stranger. Wang Baoleâs questions made him feel that something wasnât quite right.
Wang Baole also felt that something wasnât right. After a moment of silence, he spoke up again.
"Because of that little girl?"
âWhat little girl?â Little Fifth was taken aback, as was Little Donkey. This response made Wang Baoleâs mind shake. Little Fifth might lie, but Little Donkey was connected to Wang Baoleâs mind, and he could sense its thoughts clearly.
It had seen the exact same series of events as Little Fifth.
âThen⌠whatâs the truth? Did everyone here see an illusion, or⌠was it me who was seeing an illusion?â
But no matter what, the fact was that no one had seen the little girl. Even Wang Baoleâs all-knowing and all-powerful senior brother Chen Qingzi hadnât seen her. Thus, the truth behind the matter⌠was too horrifying to think about.
A strong sense of crisis rose up in Wang Baoleâs heart. Aside from vigilance, he also felt more desperate than ever to increase his strength. Thus, after a few moments of silence, he jumped up and dragged the furnace beneath him over to the furnace he had occupied earlier. Then, his intrinsic scabbard released a terrifying suction force.
The fragmented natural laws within the furnaces instantly poured into Wang Baoleâs body. It was as if his intrinsic scabbard was a whale swallowing water as it devoured the endless fragmented laws.
Soon, a vortex appeared all around Wang Baole. It rapidly expanded, even affecting the remaining furnaces. The cultivators around the furnaces all looked over with shocked expressions.
At that moment, bell-like laughter suddenly echoed in Wang Baoleâs ears. His eyes instantly opened wide when he heard the tinkling laughter.
He didnât see the one laughing, but he did see⌠something happening to the other cultivators present. No matter who they were, whether they were fighting for a furnace or sitting inside an already occupied furnace⌠distortions appeared in their eyes. There seemed to be a strange force that silently affected every cultivator here.
Even Little Fifth and Little Donkey werenât excluded; black light flickered in their eyes for a moment before fading away. However, the little black fish didnât seem to have any reaction and just swam around like normal.
Wang Baole was shocked when he saw all this. He immediately put Little Fifth and Little Donkey back into his storage pouch, then called out to his senior brother.
However⌠something seemed to be blocking his call. He could tell that it didnât go through.
âUncle, donât make that face. Iâm not going to hurt youâŚ
âItâs just⌠not enough people are dying here. Itâs so boring.â The meaningful voice of the little girl echoed in Wang Baoleâs ears. A moment later, the eyes of all the cultivators in the surroundings turned blood red, and they all looked toward Wang Baole simultaneously. They all instantly attacked as if he was their sworn enemy.
Out of all of them, three were the strongest!
One was the woman from the furnace surrounded by the illusory silver dragon. She herself transformed into a silver dragon and charged out toward Wang Baole.
Another was the young man whose furnace was surrounded by five ancient swords. The five ancient swords moved and surrounded his body as he attacked.
And the last was the remaining prince of the Never-Ending Clan.
These three were all at the great circle of the Eternal Star Realm, and the Never-Ending princeâs Eternal Star was Heaven-grade. As for the other two, they had extremely special Eternal Stars that actually werenât inferior to Heaven-grade ones.
As soon as they moved, heaven-shaking, earth-shattering rumbles echoed through the starry sky. Everyone seemed to have gone mad, roaring furiously and attacking with all their might.
âWhatâs going on here?!â It could be said that as soon as the little girl appeared, everything suddenly changed. Even though Wang Baole was confident in himself, he couldnât help but feel his heart palpitate at the moment. In truth, he hadnât yet reached a level where he could suppress everyone here all by himself.
After all, the default cultivation base of those present was the great circle of the Eternal Star Realm. Moreover, there were three exceptional Chosen among them with battle prowess far beyond their peers. Thus, Wang Baole had no choice but to rapidly retreat.
And as soon as he stepped backward, his former location was immediately drowned in attacks. There were ancient swords of the five elements, the claw of a silver dragon, and a whole host of mountain-toppling, sea-flipping divine abilities.
âJust who are you!?â After dodging the attacks, Wang Baole moved closer to the central furnace and shouted at the top of his lungs. His voice reverberated in all directions like thunder from the heavens and clearly entered the central furnace.
However⌠although Wang Baole could sense his senior brother inside the furnace, there was no reaction at all.
This scene caused Wang Baoleâs heart to sink.
âUncle, no one can see whatâs happening in here. Donât worry, just kill. There are too few people dying, so Iâm really bored. Come on, Uncle.
âAs for who I am⌠Uncle, why donât you take a guess?â The little girlâs voice echoed in all directions, accompanied by eerie laughter that caused the cultivators in the surroundings to go even crazier. Some of them rushed over to Wang Baole and actually blew themselves up as soon as they got close.
As explosions rang out, Wang Baole quickly retreated even more. His expression darkened. Fortunately, although he had moved a distance away from them, his connection with his two furnaces was still there. Fragmented natural laws were still rushing out of the furnaces and pouring into his body. Thus, seeing all the cultivators in the surroundings rushing toward him, Wang Baoleâs eyes flashed with cold light, and the intrinsic scabbard in his body suddenly vibrated.
The suction force coming from it instantly increased, and endless fragmented natural laws poured into it. The scabbard became darker and darker, and as it reached the extremes of darkness, it suddenly seemed to start turning transparent.
This intrinsic scabbard was Wang Baoleâs trump card. It was also the only thing on him that might be able to help him break out of the current situation. He could sense that there was a ray of sword qi slowly being nurtured inside his scabbard. And the more the scabbard absorbed, the more terrifying the sword qi became!
Of course aside from the scabbard, there was always the Dao Scripture.
However, the Dao Scripture didnât have much staying power. It was useful for intimidation, but when it came to lethality, it wasnât enough!
Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. Although the cultivators in his surroundings continued to rush him, he dodged them again and again. All the while, he continued madly absorbing fragmented natural laws.
At the same time, green wisps began appearing in the starry sky. Perhaps it was because of a difference in existence level, but the green wisps directly ignored whatever was blocking off the outside world and surged into Wang Baoleâs surroundings with increasing numbers.
30,000, 50,000, 100,000, 200,000âŚ
