đź“– Chapter 1239 - Establishing Authority!
“And now… I should establish some authority.” No one knew Wang Baole’s inner thoughts. At his level of cultivation, even experts like Patriarch Never-Ending and Chen Qingzi were unable to see through him.
Almighties at Wang Baole’s level already controlled fate. His future actions could only be guessed at; divine abilities and spells that could see the future were useless.
This was also a fundamental difference between an Almighty and a cultivator.
As soon as Wang Baole spoke, his words resounded throughout the entire Left Dao Holy Region. All living beings in the Left Dao Holy Region were overwhelmed with fighting intent, as if they wanted nothing more than to battle alongside Wang Baole as he established his authority.
In the Unorthodox Holy Region, the ancestor of the Seven Spirits Dao looked over with shining eyes. Right now, he was full of anticipation!
His Seven Spirits Dao wasn’t enemies with Wang Baole, and there was even a certain relationship between them. The Seven Spirits Dao’s number seventeen, Chen Han, was Wang Baole’s godson. This matter used to be a sore spot for the Seven Spirits Dao, but now it was a point of pride for the entire sect.
Even if it was just a godson, such a relationship… was obviously much closer than other sects.
Thus, the Seven Spirits Dao’s ancestor felt that he and Wang Baole were natural allies. It wasn’t just because of the matter with Chen Han, but also because… their goal of getting rid of the Never-Ending Clan was the same. The Seven Spirits Dao had long wanted to escape from the Never-Ending Clan’s tyranny, but it was impossible to do it alone.
Even if the Seven Spirits Dao’s ancestor was a powerhouse in the Universe Realm, there were numerous Divine Emperors in the Never-Ending Clan as well as the mysterious and unfathomable Patriarch Never-Ending. Thus, he had no choice but to endure all these years. But how could he be willing to remain beneath another’s yoke?
The appearance of the Underworld Sect had given him hope, and the rise of Wang Baole made this hope grow even bigger. He was looking forward to seeing Wang Baole break into the Never-Ending Clan and open up a widened world for himself and everyone else!
Moreover, he wasn’t just planning to wait and see. He was ready to make a move at any time… as long as the opportunity came along.
There was another person in the Unorthodox Holy Region watching Wang Baole at this moment. He was the Moon Star Sect’s ancestor, sitting cross-legged in front of the waterfall as always. He watched everything with no expression on his face, eyes devoid of both joy and sadness. However, looking closely, it could be seen that deep within his eyes was a hint of… expectation!
At the same time, the Never-Ending Clan also heard Wang Baole’s words. Its Divine Emperors instantly looked up, expression changing drastically, especially Divine Emperor Radiant Light. His recently-healed hand suddenly throbbed, causing him to let out a sharp hiss.
“This is bad, Mystic Blossom…” Almost as soon as he spoke, Divine Emperor Kiga took a step and disappeared. When he reappeared, he was inside… Divine Emperor Mystic Blossom’s place of seclusion.
Just as Kiga appeared in the room, Mystic Blossom suddenly went crazy. The sudden increase in Wang Baole’s wood power due to the formation of the wood seed had already left him on the brink of collapse, and Wang Baole’s breakthrough right after was like an invisible shove, pushing Mystic Blossom off the cliff.
Right now, Mystic Blossom howled madly, hair disheveled as he tried to rush out of seclusion. He wanted to leave the Never-Ending Clan, leave the Never-Ending Holy Region, and go… offer worship in the Left Dao Holy Region!
However, Divine Emperor Kiga stopped him, suppressing Mystic Blossom with all his strength. In the end, Kiga was the clone of Patriarch Never-Ending, and his cultivation base was much stronger than Mystic Blossom’s. Thus, with his help, Mystic Blossom finally snapped out of his maddened state.
But how could Wang Baole’s influence be broken so easily?
At this moment, even though Mystic Blossom had regained some awareness, his mind was obviously unstable. Fortunately, Divine Emperor Radiant Light appeared a moment later and help Kiga suppress Wang Baole’s influence. Only then was Mystic Blossom able to barely suppress the devilish thoughts in his heart.
But just as Mystic Blossom recovered slightly… Kiga’s expression changed again.
“Imperial Mountain…”
Radiant Light’s pupils suddenly contracted, and he whipped his head around to look into the distance. His gaze seemed to pierce through the void, falling upon a sea of stars deep within the Never-Ending Clan. There, Imperial Mountain was sitting cross-legged in meditation. He had already recovered most of his strength.
Originally, Wang Baole had destroyed Imperial Mountain’s fleshly body and even severely injured his divine soul. But now, Imperial Mountain had obviously obtained a great tonic. Not only had his fleshly body been reformed, but the fluctuations of his cultivation base were also even stronger than before.
Once his cultivation base was fully restored, his battle prowess would instantly skyrocket to a level even higher than before.
But at this moment… just as Divine Emperors Kiga and Radiant Light looked in Imperial Mountain’s direction, Wang Baole’s eyes suddenly flashed. Standing up, he took a step toward the starry sky.
His body blurred and disappeared on the spot. When he reappeared, he was no longer on Mars, nor even the Left Dao Holy Region. Instead, he appeared in… the Never-Ending Holy Region, standing in the sea of stars where Imperial Mountain was recovering!
This place was a forbidden area of the Never-Ending Clan, and the myriad factions didn’t dare to even come close. But today… Wang Baole crossed the infinite distance and appeared here with just a single step.
His appearance instantly caused powerful fluctuations to ripple throughout the entire Never-Ending Holy Region. These fluctuations were caused by Great Daos colliding as Wang Baole’s Wood and Water Daos fought with the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao.
In an instant, countless Never-Ending Clan cultivators shook, feeling as if something was tugging at the power of wood and water in their bodies. Fortunately, the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao quickly intervened and resolved their crisis.
But for a few seconds, these members of the Never-Ending Clan was affected… and the grand spell formation powered by their bloodline was also affected. Thus, Wang Baole had been able to appear here without any trouble.
As a Divine Emperor, Imperial Mountain instantly noticed the abnormality and lifted his head. As soon as he saw Wang Baole, his expression changed drastically.
Radiant Light and Kiga also noticed, but they couldn’t leave at the moment. The heart devil that Mystic Blossom had just barely suppressed seemed to have been given a second wind at this moment, bursting out with renewed strength. Thus, the two Divine Emperors had no choice but to stay behind and help Mystic Blossom, leaving Imperial Mountain unattended.
“Wang Baole!” Imperial Mountain’s eyes flickered with madness as he rose to his feet. His personality had always been fiery, so although he was aware of the danger he was in, he didn’t retreat in the slightest. Instead, he jumped up, turning into an infinitely large mountain peak that crushed down toward Wang Baole.
“Imperial Mountain, I actually admire you quite a bit.” Wang Baole said calmly. Although he hadn’t had much contact with the Never-Ending Clan’s Divine Emperors, Imperial Mountain’s pride and perseverance was indeed worthy of the title of Almighty.
Therefore, Wang Baole didn’t hold back and used the connection between water and wood to empower his Wood Dao to the fullest extent. Although it wasn’t quite as strong as Sundered Night, boundless wood element power erupted with a wave of Wang Baole’s hand. Rumbling spread throughout the starry sky as threads of wood stretched forth from the void, gathering above Wang Baole and forming an enormous wooden palm which immediately struck out toward the incoming mountain peak.
At the same time, Wang Baole sensed the fluctuations of the Underworld Sect’s Heavenly Dao from within the Never-Ending Clan, and heard a faint roar from far away.
“Chen Qingzi, are you really looking to settle things today!?”
Wang Baole quickly turned his attention away, focusing everything he had on Imperial Mountain. His mid-stage Star Domain Realm cultivation base burst out in full force as he circulated the power of the Water and Wood Daos with all his might. Because water birthed wood, an endlessly powerful Wood Dao seemed to light up the entire starry sky.
In an instant, the giant wooden palm struck Imperial Mountain.
A deafening boom shook the starry sky, and terrifying fluctuations rippled out from the point of collision. The shock waves of the collision made the whole Never-Ending Clan tremble, and the void fractured and collapsed wherever they passed.
The first one to break… was the giant mountain peak that Imperial Mountain had transformed into!
Cracks spread out across the mountain peak in an instant. A moment later, the majestic mountain peak, which seemed capable of suppressing all living beings, suddenly… fell into pieces!
A bloody figure was ejected from the rubble of the mountain, spewing out blood continuously as he jetted backward. His body was on the verge of collapse, and his eyes were full of unwillingness and bitterness. This figure was none other than… Divine Emperor Imperial Mountain!
