đ Chapter 1158 - Who is the Heavenly Dao?!
This was impossible!
There was no way Chen Qingzi had been so careless!
His plan shouldnât have failed like this!
It would be one thing if he had come up with it on the spot, but Chen Qingzi had obviously been planning things out for a long time already. How could he overlook the possibility of the Never-Ending Clanâs interference?
Howe could he not be prepared for additional Divine Emperors joining the fray?
Thus, even after things reached the current state, Wang Baole still felt⌠that something was strange!
Nevertheless, in the starry sky outside, Chen Qingziâs expression was clearly full of anxiety. He tried to rush back toward the furnace, but Mystic Blossom stood in his way. At the same time, the shining man sneered and swept out with his right hand, causing a massive palm to crush down on Chen Qingzi.
Terrifying rumbles spread out, and even a powerhouse like Chen Qingzi was unable to escape the sudden attack. For the first time since the battle began, he was left coughing up blood.
Thus, the golden beetle that represented the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao was free to enter the furnace world, rushing toward Split Moon with greed and excitement in its eyes. Contrary to Wang Baoleâs expectations, no accidents occurred as it smoothly entered Split Moonâs body!
âNO!!â Outside, Chen Qingzi let out a furious roar. His hair was disheveled and he cut a sorry figure as he tried his best to break out of the encirclement, but Divine Emperors Radiant Light and Mystic Blossom took action simultaneously, slamming Chen Qingzi with another round of attacks and forcing him to cough up blood again and again.
As soon as the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao entered the body of Divine Emperor Split Moon, Divine Emperor Imperial Mountain who had been standing vigilantly at the barrier to the furnace world finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didnât participate in the battle with Chen Qingzi, leaving that to Radiant Light and Mystic Blossom. His role was only to prevent any accidents from occurring.
Seeing that everything was proceeding in a positive direction, Divine Emperor Imperial Mountain sneered and entered the furnace world, walking calmly toward Split Moon. He had already seen that the final traces of deathly aura in Split Moonâs body were dissipating rapidly.
The Underworld Sectâs Heavenly Dao seemed to be completely and utterly suppressed with no hope of a reversal. Just as it was about to completely disappear, Wang Baoleâs mind suddenly twitched. Glancing up at Chen Qingziâs sorry figure outside the furnace world, he forcibly calmed himself down and stopped himself from looking back at Split Moon.
An extremely bold idea had just appeared in his mind. If it was true, then the previous sequence of events could be explained completely.
As soon as this idea occurred to Wang Baole, the deathly aura in Divine Emperor Split Moonâs body was reduced to an infinitesimal amount. With the thorough suppression of the Underworld Sectâs Heavenly Dao, Split Moonâs trembling eyelids finally⌠opened!
As soon as Split Moonâs eyes opened, Divine Emperor Imperial Mountainâs pupils suddenly contracted. His expression changed drastically as he moved to retreat, but it was already too late.
Divine Emperor Split Moon suddenly sighed.
âUnfortunately, Patriarch Never-Ending didnât show up. And even you, Imperial Mountain, didnât come in your true body.â As he spoke, a line suddenly appeared in the starry sky. This line seemed to span galaxies, shaking heaven and earth with its terrifying power. In fact, it wasnât a line, but rather⌠a ray of sword-light, a sword-light that erupted from Split Moonâs body and slashed out toward Divine Emperor Imperial Mountain!
This sword-light was infinitely dazzling, and all the rest of the starry sky dimmed in its presence. It contained indescribable mysteries of Dao as well as endless power of law, as if⌠this sword-light was the convergence of the power of the entire universe!
Or to be more exact, it was the convergence of⌠the power of the Underworld Sectâs Heavenly Dao!
As soon as the sword-light swept out, the starry sky quaked and crumbled. Imperial Mountainâs body instantly trembled violently, and he stared at Divine Emperor Split Moon with a horrified gaze.
âYou arenât-â But before he could finish speaking, his body collapsed and exploded.
Divine Emperor Imperial Mountain had died!!
However, what died wasnât his original body, but just a Dao clone. But the death of his Dao clone was still hugely detrimental to the true Divine Emperor Imperial Mountain. Moreover, with the destruction of the Dao clone, a massive amount of natural laws exploded into the surroundings. Wang Baoleâs breathing instantly hastened, and his eyes glittered with excitement.
Meanwhile, the tiny bit of deathly aura in Split Moonâs body suddenly erupted, suppressing the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao in an instant. The Never-Ending Heavenly Dao even seemed to be screaming and trying to escape from Split Moonâs body, but it was impossible!
If it were in the outside world, perhaps the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao would have a chance. However, it couldnât do anything when it was trapped inside Split Moonâs body. At a rate visible to the naked eye, the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao was actually⌠absorbed by Split Moon!
It was indeed being absorbed. Or to be more precise, it was being devoured!
âI understand now!â A complicated expression appeared on Wang Baoleâs face as waves surged in his heart. Meanwhile, outside the furnace, Divine Emperors Radiant Light and Mystic Blossom were instantly shocked by this scene. Both of them quickly retreated, eyes flickering with uncertainty. A moment later, their expressions suddenly darkened as they seemed to understand something. They looked at Chen Qingzi, whom they had been beating one-sidedly, and then at Split Moon, who was walking out of the furnace world step by step.
âYou arenât Split Moon!â
âOf course Iâm not Split Moon. Iâm Chen Qingzi.â As âDivine Emperor Split Moonâ stepped out into the starry sky, his appearance suddenly changed, from the three-headed, six-armed figure of a Never-Ending Clan Divine Emperor to⌠Chen Qingzi!
And the âChen Qingziâ who had been fighting Radiant Light and Mystic Blossom also changed, revealing the battered figure of⌠Divine Emperor Split Moon!
However, his eyes were completely blank, and every bit of his body was swamped with deathly aura!
âAt the same time, I am also⌠the Heavenly Dao!â As the words left Chen Qingziâs mouth, his aura suddenly exploded. In the blink of an eye, it spread across the starry sky, and a heavy pressure descended on all creation. At the same time, a black fish imprint appeared between his brows!
Mystic Blossom and Radiant Lightâs eyes widened.
âEverything was fake⌠After I defeated Split Moon a few years ago, I already converted him to the Underworld Sect. Everything else was just a performance put on to lure the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao over.
âAs for the revived Heavenly Dao of the Underworld Sect⌠it was also fake. The one you saw was just a soulless ray of will split off from me. The true Underworld Sectâs Heavenly Dao resurrected in my body. I myself am the Underworld Sectâs Heavenly Dao, bearing the mission of sealing your Never-Ending Clan and even this entire world.
âAlthough Allheaven has fallen, the Underworld Sectâs mission hasnât changed. We must still continue suppressing this stele world.
âOriginally, I wanted to lure the mysterious founding ancestor of your Never-Ending Clan over. I really want to see if heâs The Immortal, or⌠the so-called âclone of The Emperorâ. Unfortunately, he didnât show up.â Chen Qingzi sighed softly. However, the words he spoke instantly caused the expressions of Radiant Light and Mystic Blossom to change again.
Wang Baole instantly felt claps of thunder explode in his mind, and his pupils contracted violently. However, he remained silent as he withdrew his gaze from the starry sky outside. No longer paying attention to the battle beyond the furnace, he completely threw himself into absorbing the endless Dao mysteries that had resulted from the death of Divine Emperor Imperial Mountainâs Dao clone.
His cultivation base climbed rapidly, his fleshly body continued accumulating incredible explosive power, and even his divine soul improved at a shocking rate!
The first to break through was his cultivation base. With the power of his fleshly body and divine soul, breaking through with his cultivation base was actually quite simple. As a huge number of his Special Stars evolved into Eternal Stars, Wang Baoleâs cultivation base rose from the middle stage of the Eternal Star Realm to the late stage in an instant!
The next to break through was his divine soul. As he was enlightened to endless Dao mysteries, it advanced from the late stage of the Eternal Star Realm to the great circle. Although it was only two or three steps on the stairway, it was still the great circle of the Eternal Star Realm!
And then, at last⌠his fleshly body broke through. After accumulating an unimaginable amount of power, the whole world seemed to rumble, and an indescribable force broke out in Wang Baoleâs body!
His fleshly body⌠reached the Star Domain Realm!
As endless rumbles reverberated in all directions, ripples spread out from his body that seemed capable of toppling mountains and overturning seas. And in the midst of all this⌠Wang Baole slowly opened his eyes.
