đź“– Chapter 1182 - Stop!
“Failure, my ass!” Wang Baole’s eyes were completely bloodshot. As soon as the androgynous pseudo-Underworld Child approached and jabbed a finger at him, Wang Baole let out a vicious roar.
This roar was filled with violence and madness, causing the whole world to dim. The surrounding void rippled, and even the Underworld River outside churned. Wang Baole didn’t dodge the finger, but instead stepped forward. His body was like a mountain, whipping up harsh winds as he smashed toward the incoming pseudo-Underworld Child.
The two sides collided in an instant. The pseudo-Underworld Child born from the unification of yin and yang was formidable indeed; before the merger, their two bodies were both great-circle Eternal Star Realm cultivators, and their battle prowess and natural talent were even more impressive. Now that they’d fused, their newfound power was far more than the sum of their parts.
Their divine soul was in the Star Domain Realm, and it had even reached a full one hundred steps in the great circle of the Eternal Star Realm beforehand. As for their fleshly body, although it was a little inferior, it still reached around thirty steps in the great circle before breaking through to the Star Domain Realm!
Only their cultivation base was a little lacking and had not yet advanced to the Star Domain Realm. However, it was still in the great circle of the Eternal Star Realm, and more than thirty steps on the stairway at that.
With such achievements, even in the world of the living, this person would be considered a Chosen at the absolute pinnacle of the Dao Domain.
Here in the Underworld Galaxy, they well deserved the title of number one Chosen. At least… before Wang Baole arrived.
Compared with Wang Baole, they were still a little lacking. Their fleshly body was inferior, and… their uncompromising obsession was also inferior.
Thus, when they collided with Wang Baole, although Wang Baole trembled and stumbled back several zhang, the androgynous pseudo-Underworld Child was sent flying more than a dozen zhang away, blood spilling from the corner of their mouth.
This initial collision made everything clear. Wang Baole’s fleshly body was stronger than theirs, and although his cultivation base wasn’t as good, the power of his Eternal Dao Star made up for it. As for the divine soul, Wang Baole’s divine soul hadn’t yet advanced to the Star Domain Realm, so he was a little weaker. However, just the raw power of his fleshly body meant that he held a decisive advantage.
But… due to the difference in divine soul and cultivation base, the androgynous pseudo-Underworld Child immediately noticed that Wang Baole was probably inferior in terms of divine abilities. A moment later, they formed a series of hand seals, and their body exuded a huge mass of gray energy. This gray energy instantly turned into a gray lotus with twelve petals!
“Wang Baole, you truly are a genius, but… against my Gray Lotus Transformation Dao, you’ll have no choice but to concede defeat!”
As they spoke, the lotus in front of the androgynous pseudo-Underworld Child slowly rotated. Its petals scattered in all directions, turning into Dao Towers that rapidly expanded as they flew out. These Dao Towers were gray, but they shone with resplendent light as they flew out, blessed by innumerable natural and magical laws.
The source of these natural and magical laws was the Underworld Sect’s Heavenly Dao, or in other words… the figure standing in the void beyond the sky, the one who tore Wang Baole’s heart apart!
Although this figure didn’t take action, as the Heavenly Dao, he did not need to take action to express his intentions. Bolstered by his power, the Dao Towers shone brilliantly as they crushed down toward Wang Baole with overwhelming momentum.
Wang Baole suddenly lifted his head. A storm of qi and blood erupted from his body, surging outward with enough power to topple mountains and overturn seas.
“Dao Towers… Do you even know what Dao is!?” Killing intent flashed through Wang Baole’s eyes. He clenched his right hand into a fist, bursting with physical might as he punched out toward the approaching Dao Towers.
One punch, two, three… In a single breath, Wang Baole punched out seven times in a row!
Each punch landed on a Dao Tower, causing deafening booms to shake all directions. All these punches contained the full extent of the power Wang Baole could draw from his fleshly body, causing veins to bulge all over his body as a horrifying aura of qi and blood seemed to shroud the heavens.
Seven Dao Towers collapsed one after another. After seven punches, seven towers were gone!
Each time one broke, countless fragments scattered in all directions. With seven of them shattering one after another, incessant rumbles echoed through the area, and the surrounding void distorted. Even the Underworld River in the outside world was churning!
This clash was actually beyond the ordinary when it came to battles in the Star Domain Realm. Each of Wang Baole’s punches had the power to kill an early-stage Star Domain Realm Almighty, and the Dao Towers of the androgynous pseudo-Underworld Child could do the same.
It was a battle of overwhelming strength!
The Underworld Sect cultivators who had been defeated by Wang Baole previously all had horrified expressions. Even the three Star Domain Realm Almighties showed shock.
To them, the current Wang Baole looked like a malevolent fiend as he destroyed the Dao Towers one after another.
However… they could also see that Wang Baole’s fleshly body had reached its limit. There were still five Dao Towers left, roaring toward him with incredible momentum.
But although this was correct… it wasn’t the full picture.
This wasn’t Wang Baole’s true and absolute limit. Although his divine soul and cultivation base couldn’t measure up to his fleshly body, he still had the shadows of his past lives in reserve. At this moment, overlapping phantoms appeared on Wang Baole’s body, and the shadow of the Burning Torch godling charged toward eighth Dao Tower.
Next was the zombie, the devil blade, the resentful cultivator, and the little white deer.
The shadows of five past lives collided with the remaining five Dao Towers at almost the same time. Heaven and earth shook, giant waves rose up in the Underworld River, and terrifying fluctuations exploded in the Underworld Emperor Tomb. The twelve Dao Towers… were all destroyed!
The androgynous pseudo-Underworld Child suffered a backlash and instantly coughed up blood. As their body stumbled backward in retreat, a bloody line spread down from the center of their eyebrows. This wasn’t because they had been slashed by some sharp weapon, it was… their fusion breaking due to the backlash.
After all… they were not yet perfect!
Unless their cultivation base reached the Star Domain Realm, there would still be flaws in their path of unifying yin and yang. Rumbling sounds echoed out as the line of blood down the middle of their body became wider and wider. After they retreated a hundred zhang away, their body suddenly shook and split apart, turning into two figures. One was a man and the other was a woman, and both were looking at Wang Baole with eyes full of unwillingness.
As for Wang Baole, he was forced back more than thirty zhang, taking him to the spot right in front of Ming Kunzi. Although blood was seeping out of the corner of his mouth, he wasn’t actually injured. It was just that his fleshly body was exhausted, and his cultivation base and divine soul were greatly depleted. But he still had… the power to fight!
“Master, I won’t be taking away the Underworld Emperor’s remains!” Wang Baole panted, eyes shining with resolve. Ming Kunzi, staring at Wang Baole with kindness and gratification, finally nodded. He opened his mouth, about to speak, but at that moment…
A sigh suddenly rang out from the void outside. Even as it echoed in everyone’s ears, a figure appeared above the Underworld River. Step by step, toward the Underworld Emperor Tomb… he walked!
As he walked, the waters of the Underworld River parted.
As he walked, the Underworld Emperor Tomb trembled.
As he walked, black lotus flowers bloomed with every step.
As he walked… the Underworld Sect cultivators present, including the pseudo-Underworld Child split into man and woman, all knelt down simultaneously. Their expressions were full of fanaticism and veneration.
Wang Baole lifted his head to stare at the approaching figure. There was confusion, hesitation, and struggle in his eyes, but in the end… it all turned into determination.
"Chen Qingzi, stop!"
