đź“– Chapter 1262 - Back Again!
The Xie Family ancestor was correct. In fact, it wasn’t just him; whether it was Reverend Heaven-Learned, Patriarch Seven Spirits, or the ancestor of the Moon Star Sect, all of them knew about it the moment Wang Baole arrived.
Every powerhouse in the stele world was concerned about the battle going on outside, but out of all of them, the one who cared the most was Wang Baole.
The world could wait in silence for the battle to end, but Wang Baole could not. After all these years, his uneasiness had become stronger and stronger, and he could no longer hold himself back.
He had to go and take a look with his own eyes.
However, Wang Baole knew very well that his current cultivation base wasn’t enough. Although his prowess at the peak of the Star Domain Realm’s middle stage was even stronger than others at the middle stage of the Universe Realm, there was still a huge gap between him and Chen Qingzi.
Chen Qingzi, after fusing with Master Never-Ending, had reached an utterly terrifying level. Thus… aware of his own insufficiencies, Wang Baole went around and borrowed supreme treasures from others.
The ancient bronze sword was peerlessly sharp and could slice open the void!
The cudgel from the Seven Spirits Dao had the power to smash stars apart and could destroy any barriers!
The Book of Heaven’s Mandate contained the law of time and bore all the memories of the universe. It could suppress all kinds of will!
The scroll from the Moon Star Sect was mysterious and profound. Wang Baole didn’t open it, but he could sense that a heaven-shaking aura was hidden inside the scroll. If he unfurled it at a critical moment, it would be able to seal anything!
The incense stick from the Xie Family contained a supreme kismet. From the beginning until now, the Xie Family rose and never faltered, and the density of their kismet was extremely important in this!
With these five supreme treasures giving him some confidence, Wang Baole flew toward the end of the starry sky without any hesitation.
If he wanted to go to the end of the universe, he couldn’t do it in this layer of space. To a certain extent, the place he arrived at when he went searching for Zi Yue could be considered the end.
But that place… wasn’t Wang Baole’s current destination. What he wanted was not to reach the end of the universe in the conventional sense, but rather to find a place to shatter the void.
In other words, he wanted to break through this layer of the starry sky, step into the endless void, and find the end there.
With this in mind, Wang Baole moved even faster. Although the sea of light in the starry sky made it impossible for most people to leave their home planets, it didn’t obstruct Wang Baole too much. As he circulated his cultivation base, his speed instantly broke past the limit. Wherever he passed, the starry sky collapsed, revealing the underlying void.
Wang Baole entered the void without hesitation, but he immediately sensed that the void here wasn’t what he wanted. After all, the number of people who could enter the void like this was actually quite high.
Any random move from a Universe Realm cultivator could rip the starry sky apart and expose this so-called void. In fact, even Star Domain Realm cultivators could do so.
This was enough to prove that this void beneath the starry sky wasn’t the end.
“There should be multiple layers of void lying under the starry sky…” Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and recalled the scene of Chen Qingzi leaving all those years ago. Although he didn’t know how exactly his senior brother had done so, he could still see some clues. Most likely, Chen Qingzi had relied on a combination of his position as the Heavenly Dao and his inherited mission in order to truly shatter the void.
Obviously, this wasn’t an option for Wang Baole; he would have to rely on brute force. His mind moved, and the ancient bronze sword instantly appeared in front of him. Its peerlessly sharp edge slashed out, causing the void to churn.
In an instant, a massive crack appeared in front of Wang Baole, like the parting of the sea. His body flickered and he rushed in without hesitation.
He moved faster and faster, and yet… even after passing through so many layers of space that he couldn’t even count them anymore, he found himself still looking at an infinite expanse of void.
“Not enough…” Murmuring softly, Wang Baole waved his hand and summoned the Seven Spirits Dao’s cudgel. Bestial roars echoed out from it as he smashed it toward the void below him.
Under the cudgel’s immense might, the void instantly began to collapse. With the help of the ancient bronze sword, the collapse spread into the distance in the blink of an eye. Wang Baole moved even faster, causing his surroundings to turn into a blur. After traveling through countless more layers of space, he took out the incense stick that the Xie Family ancestor had given him.
The appearance of this incense stick caused an invisible force of kismet to suddenly converge on the spot, materializing into a violet spear that stabbed through the void.
Rumbling echoed out as the void collapsed even more. Just like that, with three supreme treasures constantly striking out in succession, Wang Baole continued to sink through the void.
In the blink of an eye… two years passed!
Chen Qingzi had only needed one step to reach the ocean of collective consciousness, but Wang Baole needed to rely on three supreme treasures and spend two years of strenuous effort. Today, with a deafening rumble, Wang Baole finally broke through the final layer of space and opened up the path to the true void!
Wang Baole stepped inside in an instant, arriving at… the true end of the universe, the real void of the stele world. Here, it was obvious that there was nothing but darkness in the surroundings, and yet… through his perception, Wang Baole seemed to see the memories of all beings.
He didn’t even need to look; as soon as he stepped in, endless information swamped him from all directions. It was as if he had become a black hole, forcibly sucking in all these memories whether he wanted to or not.
Once these memories surged in, even though Wang Baole was extremely powerful, he wouldn’t get away unharmed. In fact, it was entirely likely that his body and soul would be destroyed in an instant.
Wang Baole wasn’t the only one; anyone else would be the same. Throughout the entire stele world… only Chen Qingzi, who had broken through to a new realm, could remain unaffected in this place.
After all… this was the location of the final seal All left behind!
However, Wang Baole had come prepared. As soon as the surge of memories arrived, he instantly shut off his divine sense and took out the Book of Heaven’s Mandate!
Shutting off his divine sense was more or less useless. However, in this place… the Book of Heaven’s Mandate had a miraculous effect. The moment it appeared, it took Wang Baole’s place and accepted the influx of memories from all beings.
In the first place, the Book of Heaven’s Mandate was made to record all of history. Thus, although it trembled as innumerable memories poured into it, its light didn’t flicker for an instant.
Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. Holding the Book of Heaven’s Mandate in his hand, he slowly walked forward. Because of the book, no images appeared beneath his feet, but even so after taking nine steps, he saw… an immense and ancient stone gate in the void in front of him!
The stone gate was closed, so he couldn’t see what was beyond it. But as soon as the gate appeared in his vision, Wang Baole’s mind shook. He immediately realized that behind this stone gate… was his senior brother’s battlefield!
“And Senior Brother’s opponent…” As thunder roared in Wang Baole’s mind, he recalled the scene from the past life trial on Planet Heaven’s Mandate. When he finally walked out of the stele world, he had seen… a centipede coiling around the stele!
Wang Baole’s eyes flickered as he fell silent. He moved his leg to step forward, but at that moment… a vast divine will exploded out in front of him.
"Stop!"
As the majestic voice reverberated, an infinitely large hand that seemed to occupy the entire void suddenly appeared in front of Wang Baole. It was… the Hand of All.
