đź“– Chapter 1205 - Great Dao Bears Down!
“Wang Baole!” The expressions of the elders from the five great sects all changed drastically, eyes blazing with killing intent. Perhaps there had been some room for discussion earlier, but Wang Baole’s choice to advance to the pinnacle of the Eternal Star Realm was enough to fully display his attitude.
Moreover, the words he spoke as he did so made the five elders absolutely furious. Seeing that Wang Baole was about to break through, they made a decision without hesitation. All five of them shot toward the solar system, leaving terrifying rumbles in their wake.
Just as the Flame Patriarch was about to stop them, Wang Baole’s voice reverberated through the starry sky.
“Master, please head into the solar system and rest. If they want to come, jut let them. Once this disciple breaks through, I will pay their sects a visit.”
Hearing this, the Flame Patriarch laughed. He flicked his sleeves, picking up his disciples, Reverend Star Wings, and the old ox, and immediately went into the solar system. As soon as he left the battlefield, the attacks of the five elders immediately descended.
Rumbling sounds echoed out as the Nine Provinces Dao’s nine chains fully enveloped the solar system, seemingly cutting it off from the rest of the starry sky. Meanwhile, the giant grabbed the heaven-splitting ax. It struck down at the World Ascension Disk’s barrier with the joint power of two great sects’ Dao manifestations.
A monstrous rumble resounded, and the barrier protecting the solar system shuddered. However, although it dented, it didn’t break. The massive asteroid also struck at this moment, making the dent a little larger, but still failing to break through.
After that, the dozens of lesser Star Domain Realm cultivators attacked. A storm of magical techniques and divine abilities instantly flooded the solar system.
However, the World Ascension Disk was a peerless supreme treasure, after all. Even if it wasn’t truly complete, its barrier still wasn’t something that these people could destroy easily. Waves of shock swept through the hearts of all the attackers.
At least for the time being, they were unable to do anything to the World Ascension Disk!
This was the difference between the Wang Baole of today and the Wang Baole of the past. After experiencing so many things, his way of thinking had changed. Although he was ruthless to others and himself, although he didn’t shy away from gambling, the foundation for that was… confidence!
His miscalculations for the current battle were only with regard to the advancement of his cultivation base. When it came to his and the Federation’s safety, Wang Baole was almost completely confident.
Thus, he didn’t pay any attention to the experts of the various factions frantically bombarding the barrier outside the solar system, nor did he bother with the fluctuations rippling through the solar system due to the attacks from the outside world.
These fluctuations would be up to the other cultivators of the Federation to resolve. At the current moment, the only thing Wang Baole was paying attention to was his own breakthrough.
Now that his cultivation base had reached a hundred steps in the great circle of the Eternal Star Realm, there was no need for any more hesitation. After accumulating his power to the pinnacle, he instantly began to break through.
An invisible pillar of light representing his cultivation base seemed to explode forth from Wang Baole’s body, rising through the void at a shocking speed. Although there were some ethereal barricades blocking its way, these barricades might as well have not existed; in the face of the pillar of light, they shattered at the slightest touch, unable to slow it down at all.
Soon, an incense stick’s worth of time passed. As Wang Baole’s cultivation base continued climbing, the mysteries of Dao on his body grew more and more intense. His hair flew about wildly, and his body began emitting waves of a fragrant aroma.
Threads of law flickered all around him, revealing a seemingly endless net high above the solar system. Below, the void churned, and the entire solar system began to revolve around his location.
It spun faster and faster, and more and more threads of law appeared. Monstrous rumbles reverberated through the starry sky, and cracking sounds suddenly exploded from Wang Baole’s body!
Within his body, ten thousand Eternal Stars formed the basis for ten thousand galaxies. With his Eternal Dao Star and nine Eternal quasi-Dao Stars at the center, in tune with the rotation of the solar system outside, an entire starry sky was rotating within him!
This starry sky was shocking in size. It contained ten thousand galaxies, and none of them were small. As the starry sky spun, the galaxies formed numerous star swirls, joining together, combining, and eventually becoming… a star domain!
Another boom rang out, and Wang Baole’s fluttering hair became even more wild. His divine soul superimposed itself over his fleshly body, which was shining with dazzling light. As he broke through to the Star Domain Realm, his cultivation base also began to merge with them.
His divine soul, fleshly body, and cultivation base all fused into one!
At this moment, there was no longer the pure power of the divine soul, nor the simple force of the fleshly body, nor the regular fluctuations of the cultivation base. All of them merged with each other, so that Wang Baole’s each and every move contained the power of his divine soul, the force of his fleshly body, and the fluctuations of his cultivation base all at once.
All of this enriched the mysteries of Dao gathered on Wang Baole to an unprecedented degree. Behind him, the divine ox phantom appeared, towering to the heavens. It was even larger than the entire solar system.
Compared to this gargantuan divine ox phantom, even the real old ox’s true body seemed a bit inferior. It was as if this phantom was the true divine ox.
A Dharma Idol bearing Wang Baole’s features suddenly appeared on the back of the divine ox, legs crossed and eyes closed in meditation. Waves of ripples spread out from him, propagating throughout the entire Left Dao Holy Region.
The Left Dao Holy Region’s natural and magical laws shook. The galaxies and celestial bodies in its starry sky all shuddered. The minds of the countless cultivators in it trembled, and every last one of them seemed to hear a faint voice echoing in their ears.
“My Dao… is Freedom!”
As Wang Baole’s voice reverberated in the ears of everyone in the Left Dao Holy Region, the Star Domain Realm cultivators outside the solar system were all retreating rapidly. Their expressions changed again and again as they cried out in shock.
“Great Dao Tone! This is impossible!!”
The Nine Provinces Dao’s old man in white looked as if he had seen a ghost. Even someone with his level of self-control couldn’t help but exclaim.
“How could you induce a Great Dao Tone? That should only happen when someone advances to the level of a Divine Emperor. You’re only breaking through to the Star Domain Realm, you… how could this be possible!
“Even if you’ve achieved the legendary Genesis Dao Body, this is absolutely impossible! Unless… unless your original level of life was already at the Divine Emperor level or even above! That’s why the Great Dao Tone appeared in advance, that’s why such a phenomenon occurred when you merely broke through to the Star Domain Realm!
“You’re still hiding some secrets, you… you’re not Wang Baole! You’re not a cultivator of the Federation! Who the hell are you!?”
The old man in white seemed to have gone mad, and the elders of the other four great sects were all shocked into speechlessness. Their scalps turned numb, and their hearts were full of regret. If they had known that Wang Baole’s breakthrough would induce a Great Dao Tone, they wouldn’t have dared to come here and try to stop him.
For someone to induce a Great Dao Tone meant that their Dao had been written into the foundational laws of the universe. Although these foundational laws were part of the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao was unable to affect them. They were the basis upon which everything else was rooted!
To a certain extent, wielding such a Dao was equivalent to wielding a portion of the power of a Universe Realm Divine Emperor!
Those in the Universe Realm contained a universe inside their bodies, and they were reverently titled Divine Emperors. A Divine Emperor wielded divine power and imperial might, invincible and unshakable in their position at the top of all living beings!
Looking at Wang Baole sitting atop the divine ox phantom, the Star Domain Realm Almighties of the five great sects all felt their eyes stinging. Rumbling filled their minds, and they hastily stumbled backward in retreat.
Meanwhile, the Flame Patriarch was utterly flabbergasted as he stared blankly at Wang Baole. He subconsciously glanced at the old ox and First Senior Sister, who were both his clones.
“I… I raised a Divine Emperor?”
“Yup. You’re freaking awesome.” The old ox said.
“Awesome!” First Senior Sister agreed.
Second Senior Brother pondered for a moment before providing some input of his own.
“Master is formidable…”
As the Flame Patriarch looked on with wide eyes, as the experts from the five great sects retreated rapidly, Wang Baole’s gargantuan Dharma Idol slowly opened his eyes and spoke in a placid tone.
“Be not free.
“Be not at ease.”
