đź“– Chapter 1229 - Killing with Reflected Time!
At this moment, Ebbing Time unfolded under the eyes of the Divine Emperors. The profundity contained within it caused Buried Spirit’s expression to change drastically. Although he was already far away, he had still been paying attention to the battle.
And Buried Spirit wasn’t the only one. Even Imperial Mountain’s eyes flickered with unprecedented solemnity. Radiant Light and the Xie Family’s ancestor were also paying attention to this battle, as well as Dao Mozi of the Seven Spirits Dao, the Moon Star Sect’s ancestor, and the Nine Provinces Dao’s Patriarch Nine Daos.
These people who stood at the top of the entire Never-Ending Dao Domain all felt their hearts shaking at this moment.
After all, Sheep Daoist wasn’t some nobody. He was a quasi-Divine Emperor level cultivator who could battle against those of the Universe Realm. Although he couldn’t quite match up to them, a Universe Realm cultivator would need to pay a certain price to kill him.
But now… the Dao of Time displayed by Wang Baole was absolutely shocking in its power to change the mundane into the extraordinary. It was as if in Wang Baole’s hands, time was something that could be molded and manipulated at will, causing Sheep Daoist’s body to deliver itself up to Wang Baole’s finger strike.
Sheep Daoist instantly let out a deafening roar. Two curly black horns appeared on his head as he prepared to fight. In the end, he was someone with Universe-level battle prowess, after all. Although he was slightly weaker than a true Universe Realm cultivator, he still managed to resist Wang Baole’s finger strike. A boom rang out, and Sheep Daoist was left coughing up blood and with cracks all over his horns… but he was still alive.
In an instant, he turned and fled without hesitation.
The shock this scene brought to everyone watching was extremely strong. After all, Sheep Daoist was someone who could be considered almost at the pinnacle of the stele world, a powerhouse with the battle prowess of the Universe Realm. But after a single finger strike from Wang Baole… such a powerhouse didn’t dare to fight back anymore.
Although there was some trickery involved in the finger strike, nobody knew… what other methods Wang Baole had. After all, any Universe Realm cultivator would surely have numerous trump cards.
“Wang Baole!” Imperial Mountain’s eyes were burning with killing intent. Shaking his body, he broke away from the wood threads binding him and tried to rush toward Wang Baole. However, with a wave of Wang Baole’s hand, even more wood threads appeared and tied Imperial Mountain back down. Then, Wang Baole’s body flickered, and he appeared… next to the Demon Eye Ancestor, who was fleeing into the distance.
“Did you call for me?” Wang Baole’s voice was calm, but when it fell into the Demon Eye Ancestor’s ears, it was like heavenly thunder exploding in her mind. Her expression instantly turned pale, and she suddenly turned into a mass of demonic mist, increasing her speed as she ran away as fast as possible.
There was an eye hidden in the churning mist. The eye was bloodshot, and its gaze seemed capable of piercing through the void. All of a sudden, the starry sky between the Demon Eye Ancestor and Wang Baole collapsed, causing the eye to turn even more bloodshot. As it retreated, it shattered the void and disappeared without a trace, as if it had fled into the river of time!
Wang Baole made a noise of surprise. This was his first time seeing someone use the law of time of the stele world. He couldn’t help but feel a little interested.
Rather than unleash Ebbing Time, he raised his right hand and pressed down slightly toward the spot where the Demon Eye Ancestor had disappeared.
Reflected Time was suddenly unleashed. It was as if a droplet had fallen onto the water surface, and layers of ripples spread in all directions. Stepping into the ripples, Wang Baole appeared a hundred years in the past in the blink of an eye.
A hundred years ago, in the Never-Ending Holy Region, the Demon Eye Ancestor was shuttling through the starry sky. But suddenly, Wang Baole walked out of the void. With the point of a finger, heaven and earth were torn asunder.
Two hundred years ago, the Demon Eye Ancestor was cultivating in seclusion, but her expression abruptly changed. She moved to dodge, but she was already too late. A finger stretched out from the void and pressed between her brows.
Five hundred years ago...
Three thousand years ago...
Eight thousand years ago...
Twenty thousand years ago…
“Who are you!?” Somewhere in the river of time, the Demon Eye Ancestor of this time period had not yet reached the quasi-Universe Realm. She screamed miserably as a hand stabbed its way through the center of her brows and pulled out a bloody eye.
Tragedy after tragedy unfolded as Wang Baole chased the Demon Eye Ancestor through the river of time. Eventually, he arrived in the era where the Underworld Sect ruled the universe, and then at the formative stage where the universe was just recovering from the end of the previous epoch. Here, there as an eye from the previous epoch floating around, an eye that would someday awaken as its own being. However, a hand suddenly appeared from the starry sky and grabbed the eye tightly.
Wang Baole’s Dao aura erupted again, shocking all directions!
All the onlookers felt waves surging in their hearts, and some of them even jumped to their feet from their original meditative positions. Twenty breaths of time had passed.
Yes, it was twenty breaths, but at the same time… it was much, much longer.
Wang Baole’s figure slowly reappeared in the starry sky of the present day. His body was still the same, his expression was still the same, but in his hand… was an ancient-looking eyeball that hadn’t been there before.
In front of him, in the spot where the Demon Eye Ancestor had originally fled… the void suddenly twisted, and the Demon Eye Ancestor was forcefully dragged back. As soon as she appeared, she coughed up a huge mouthful of blood and looked at Wang Baole as if looking at a ghost. If it were anyone else, they might not have understood what had just happened to them.
However, the Demon Eye Ancestor cultivated the Dao of Time. Thus, she knew better than anyone else what had just happened, as well as how terrifying Wang Baole was. Just now… in the river of time, Wang Baole had chased her down over countless ages, until finally, in the early stage of the universe, he grabbed the eye that would eventually give birth to her will and become her core.
If that was all, it wouldn’t be too surprising. After all, it would merely be something that happened countless years ago in the long river of time. However… now, Wang Baole had appeared in the present, and the eyeball in his hand was none other than the Demon Eye Ancestor’s core.
At this moment, the core within her… actually turned illusory, as if her core was fake and the one in Wang Baole’s hand was the real one.
The profundities of the Dao of Time involved were so deep that she couldn’t even begin to comprehend them. She could only sense that Wang Baole was extremely terrifying.
“Since you called me by name and have some skill, you can just be a maid.” Wang Baole tossed the eye in his hand up and down, speaking in a casual voice.
The Demon Eye Ancestor fell silent. Lowering her head, she bowed bitterly.
“Greetings, young master.”
Wang Baole ignored her, as if she was unworthy of his attention. Raising his head, he looked at Imperial Mountain, who had broken free from the bindings of the wood threads.
In fact, Imperial Mountain had been free for a while now, but Wang Baole’s Dao of Time filled him with extreme wariness, so he didn’t take action right away.
Although he was in the Universe Realm proper and his opponent was merely someone with Universe Realm battle prowess, at this moment, Imperial Mountain was… not 100% confident!
To be exact, he wasn’t even the slightest bit confident!
“Fellow Daoist Imperial Mountain, do you want to fight? I’m here for your Never-Ending Clan’s explanation.” Wang Baole said calmly.
Imperial Mountain was silent. After a while, the void behind him distorted, and a figure suddenly walked out… Divine Emperor Radiant Light!
Upon his arrival, Radiant Light, too, looked at Wang Baole with wariness in his eyes.
The next moment, the Underworld Sect’s Nether Saint appeared in the distance. Buried Spirit, who was far away from the battlefield, also narrowed his eyes and locked on with his aura.
For a while, both Radiant Light and Imperial Mountain remained silent.
But soon, Imperial Mountain’s eyes flickered with cold light, and he slowly spoke.
“Fellow Daoist Wang, I would like to see what other divine abilities you have.”
“As you wish!” Wang Baole smiled slightly. Opening his hand, a rising sun seemed to appear in his palm. At this moment, in the surrounding starry sky… there was clearly light, but all people could see… was darkness!
It was as if a pall of night had fallen over the world. Then, Wang Baole’s voice slowly echoed through the darkness.
“Sundered Night.”
