đź“– Chapter 1248 - Battle Against Master Never-Ending!
It was clear from this one move just how powerful Master Never-Ending was. Along with the Dao of Time, the Dao of Space was a supreme Dao among all the Daos in the universe. Not just anyone could gain enlightenment of it, and those without a certain amount of fortune would be unable to even scratch the surface.
Moreover, Master Never-Ending’s expression was completely casual, as if using this grand technique wasn’t difficult for him at all.
At the same time, his cultivation base was at the great circle of the Universe Realm, so no matter how powerful Wang Baole and the others were, they could hardly stand under the pressure of Master Never-Ending’s attack.
Fortunately for Wang Baole, the power of wood spreading throughout his body helped to dissipate the pressure from the outside world. Although he was still suppressed, he at least had some ability to fight back.
The same was true for Patriarch Seven Spirits. His complexion had turned pale and his body was trembling, but his eyes still burned with fighting spirit. The cudgel in his hand was vibrating loudly, seemingly reflecting the urge to battle within his heart.
On the other hand… the three Universe Realm cultivators of the Underworld Sect were completely miserable. This was because the three of them… actually had a fatal flaw. They weren’t living people, but rather dead souls who had been floating in the Underworld River. It was only after Chen Qingzi blessed them with the power of the Underworld Sect’s Heavenly Dao that they were able to return to this world.
Thus, it was inevitable that their essential beings were somewhat lacking. Normally, they could fight other early-stage Universe Realm cultivators without any problems, but now they were facing Master Never-Ending and his Dao of Space. Against this opponent far beyond their power, their insufficiencies were magnified endlessly.
This was especially so for Buried Spirit. Although he was actually stronger than Bone Emperor, his original body, the Buried Spirit Tree, was frail and withered. Even after he was resurrected, this didn’t change, so he was the first to collapse. Although he reformed his body almost instantly, he had still obviously suffered heavy injuries.
In the distance, Kiga and Radiant Light perked up upon seeing this. However, Imperial Mountain’s expression was slightly complicated, and there was a hint of exhaustion in his eyes. By now, he was tired of this kind of battle, but… since he couldn’t change anything, he just remained silent.
All of this takes some time to describe, but in fact it happened in a flash. As soon as Master Never-Ending appeared, Wang Baole and the others all suffered injuries to varying degrees. Seeing space continue to warp, as if more layers were about to appear, Wang Baole felt an extreme crisis. His eyes turned bloodshot as he let out a low roar.
“Everyone, we have to work together!”
“Together!” Patriarch Seven Spirits gritted his teeth. As he spoke, he waved his hand, and his cudgel shone with dazzling rays of light. Nether Saint and the other two also lit up in an instant.
From a distance, the six people were like fireflies vying for brilliance in front of Master Never-Ending, who was like the bright moon. Of the six fireflies, the brightest of all was Wang Baole.
At this moment, the power of wood in his body surged outward, causing vegetation to sprout all around him and flowers to bloom everywhere. It wasn’t just in this level of space; lush greenery was spreading throughout all the dozens of spatial layers created by Master Never-Ending.
The plants in all the spatial layers swayed lightly, giving rise to heaven-shaking might. The power of water also erupted, providing the Wood Dao an endless stream of energy. At the same time, Wang Baole thrust his right hand forward.
"Sundered Night!"
At this moment, Sundered Night was unleashed, and everything became pitch black. All layers of space, and even the surrounding void itself, were all submerged by darkness.
“Sundered Night?” Master Never-Ending’s voice rang out from within the darkness. There was a hint of curiosity in his tone, and it was clear that he had been looking forward to feeling Wang Baole’s Sundered Night for a long time.
As soon as he spoke, the invisible darkness in the surroundings trembled violently. It was as if the darkness had turned into a curtain, and a powerful force was trying to tear it open.
An unprecedented tearing force erupted outward, and rumbling inundated the starry sky. Cracking sounds rang out as the darkness of night, before the light of the rising sun could appear, actually ripped.
It was as if the curtain had been torn open, revealing Master Never-Ending’s figure behind it!
“Is that all?” Master Never-Ending seemed a little disappointed. But in the next moment, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
This was because… just as he ripped the darkness apart, Wang Baole’s rising sun appeared. In the last battle, Kiga’s ancient mirror had blocked his Sundered Night, so this time, Wang Baole decisively used his Eternal Dao Star’s Dao of Duplication. A Dao he had duplicated long ago instantly broke out.
It was… the Dao of Light.
As Wang Baole fused this Dao into Sundered Night, the power of the rising sun instantly exploded. A sea of light broke out, rushing toward Master Never-Ending.
Things didn’t end there. Within the sea of light were the three Universe Realm cultivators of the Underworld Sect. Although they had been suppressed earlier, Wang Baole’s Sundered Night had eased the pressure on them. Furthermore, they had already decided to go all out, so they had finally been able to break free.
At this moment, Buried Spirit returned to his original form, transforming into a giant Buried Spirit Tree. There were many corpses hanging on the tree, as well as yellow runes circling it. With a wave of the Buried Spirit Tree’s branches, all the runes flew out, and the corpses opened their eyes and came to life. A storm of corpses and runes instantly rushed toward Master Never-Ending along with the tree itself.
Bone Emperor also transformed, turning into a gigantic bone blade that slashed down at Master Never-Ending with heaven-shaking momentum and an aura of endless malice.
As for Nether Saint, he formed a series of hand seals, and violet qi filled his whole body. In the end, he melted down and turned into a roiling violet mist. Numerous violet threads shot out of the mist and struck toward Master Never-Ending.
There was also Patriarch Seven Spirits. At this moment, his eyes opened wide and he leaped up. The cudgel in his hand expanded limitlessly, filling with power that could shake the heavens and shatter the earth. Behind him, more than thirty silhouettes suddenly appeared!
These silhouettes all overlapped with Patriarch Seven Spirits’ body, and each one looked exactly the same as him. Among them, even the weakest gave off the fluctuations of the great circle of the Star Domain Realm, and seven of them were even in the Universe Realm!
Although they were only in the early stage, their appearance was still extremely shocking.
The Seven Spirits Dao emphasized rebirth. Each of its cultivators would die, revive, and recultivate again and again, and Patriarch Seven Spirits was naturally no exception. He had gone through rebirth and resurrection more than thirty times, reaching an extremely high level each time. There were even seven lives where he stepped into the Universe Realm. It was through the accumulation of all these lives that he managed to reach the peak of the Universe Realm’s middle stage in his current life.
Now, he called forth the full power of all his previous lives, causing his battle prowess to instantly skyrocket. His momentum surged as he charged toward Master Never-Ending.
At the same time, infinite brilliance exploded out from Wang Baole’s Sundered Night. Countless rays of light stabbed out like swords tearing all darkness asunder.
It wasn’t wrong to say that everyone had unleashed their ultimate trump cards at this moment. Rumbling erupted in all directions as the multiple layers of space all began to collapse, seemingly unable to bear the power of everyone’s Dao.
With a boom, layer upon layer of space shattered into pieces, and Master Never-Ending’s expression finally turned solemn. Obviously, against the combined power of these six, even he needed to get serious.
“You are qualified to this seat’s second Dao.” Master Never-Ending slowly spoke. He raised his right hand and pressed it forward.
“Strength!”
His right hand suddenly grew to immense proportions, blotting out the entire starry sky. In an instant, it descended toward the six people like the palm of a god.
