š Chapter 935 - Death by Coffin?
As the five paper human cutouts in Starfall City were flabbergasted and puzzled, Wang Baole was also having a headache. He didnāt know what was going on outside. However, at this moment, over forty Planet Realm cultivators appeared before his eyes. Among these cultivators, he saw the Divine Sovereign Justice Sectās Sect Master Dan Zhouzi, Shan Lingzi, and the Left Hand Elder!
āShan Lingzi was killed by the wishing bottle, so it counts as me killing him? And the Left Hand Elderā¦I didnāt even kill him, but it still counts? Fortunately, the Right Hand Elder isnāt hereā¦ā Wang Baole felt a headache coming on. He noticed that the three aforementioned Planet Realm cultivators were all looking at him with gazes full of killing intent.
If it were any other time, this matter would definitely cause shock but right nowā¦Wang Baoleās radiance was completely smothered by others. He had only brought forth three Planet Realm Almighties, but, the cold black-clothed youth actually had no less than sixteen of them staring back at him!
As for the bell girl and the scholarly cultivator, the total number of Planet Realm cultivators they brought forth only added up to tenāfar less than the young man in black. The expert brother only brought forth a few Planet realms, while the masked woman alone had ten Planet realms staring back at her. This scene made many people tremble; however, the one who ranked second wasnāt her, but that feeble and weak-looking girl!
There were fifteen Planet Realm Almighties gnashing their teeth and glaring at her!
In an instant, the crowd around her quickly dispersed. Li Linziās face went pale, and he looked at the girl as if he had seen a ghost.
This made the girl very unhappy. She pursed her lips, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes, as if she was about to start weeping.
Wang Baole was also shocked by this scene and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He thought to himself that he couldnāt be arrogant, and that there were many freaks among the Chosenā¦
āI thought that the cold black-clothed youth was the most dangerous to provokeā¦but I didnāt expect this little girl to hide herself so deeply. How sinister!ā Wang Baole took a deep breath. He immediately became extremely wary of the little girl.. Now that the laws of the Illusory Planet seemed to be receding, he was about to take a step backward.
But at that moment, a change suddenly occurred!
As everyone watched, a certain figure suddenly appeared in the crowd of illusory phantoms. The light on its body exploded with unprecedented brightness, as dazzling as the sun itself!
The moment this light appeared, the phantoms around it started to trembleāeven the more than fifty Planet Realm phantoms!
As they trembled, every single one of the Chosen was stunned. The masked womanās eyes widened; the young man in blackās breathing hastened; even the scholarly cultivator, book in hand, had a change in expression. Silence prevailed as an enormous, incredibly bright starā¦suddenly appeared between heaven and earth!
āEternal Star Almighty!!!ā An aghast voice exclaimed among the crowd of Chosen.
This newly appeared phantom was an Eternal Star Realm cultivator!
As it appeared, incomparably vast flames spread out, and the power of an Eternal Star radiated out mightily. All the Planet Realm cultivators in the surroundings were immediately outshone, and the whole world trembled!
As everyone stared in shock, a blurry figure emerged from the blazing star. It looked as if it had no substance, as if before its death, it had been reduced to scattered ashes and dispersed smoke[1].
However, maybe because its resentment was too strong, even if its figure was no more than a phantom, those in the surroundings could still feel its madness and rancor.
The moment it appeared, the phantom looked at the crowd. It was looking at a figure on which the rays of light were the most concentrated, one that outshone everyone else, like a torch in the dark night!
That figureā¦ was Wang Baole!
āMe?ā Wang Baoleās whole person was utterly dumbstruck. He lowered his head to look at the light on his body, and then looked at the crowd around him that had immediately scattered. The crowdā¦also included the mysterious little girl that he had just become wary of.
However, now, when the little girl looked at him, the look in her eyes was similar to that of Li Linzi staring at herself from before. It was as if she had seen a ghost, as if she was scared of being implicated if she stood too close. Even the masked woman was obviously dumbfounded. The black-clothed youth with a cold and malevolent aura also immediately fell back, although there was subtle fighting intent in his eyes when he looked at Wang Baole.
The others were no different. In an instant, the space around Wang Baole quickly became empty. He was the only one standing there as dazzling light radiated from his body.
He lowered his head to look at his own body, and then looked at the crowd around him. Finally, Wang Baole raised his head vacantly and stared at the Eternal Star Realm cultivator. Looking at the furious Eternal Star Realm Almighty glaring at him viciously, Wang Baole felt even more aggrieved than the phantom.
āIt must be a mistakeā¦ā
Wang Baole wanted to cry but lacked tears. No matter how he looked at it, this incident was too bizarre. He definitely didnāt remember ever killing an Eternal Star Realm Almightyā¦
āI donāt understandā¦It must be a mistake! I donāt even know this personā¦ā Wang Baoleās forehead was filled with sweat, and his mind spun rapidly. He kept recalling all the major events of his life, yet he couldnāt remember when he was so daring as to kill an Eternal Star Realm Almighty.
Moreover, this Eternal Star Realm cultivatorās figure was incredibly blurred. Judging by the other phantoms, Wang Baole could conclude that this personās whole body had collapsed before they died, with even their soul being unable to escape. There must have been someone with power far beyond the Eternal Star Realm that used a divine ability or Dharmic artifact to kill them in a single blow!
āThe hell is going onā¦ā Wang Baole watched as the aura of the Eternal Star Realm Almighty in the air grew stronger and stronger, causing even the ground to shake. It was almost as if the Illusory Planet they were on had reached the limit of its natural laws. Faint signs of instability were appearing.
All of this made Wang Baole extremely anxious, and it wasnāt just him. Even the five paper human cutouts that were observing the trial by fire were dumbfounded, not to mention the Chosen who were standing far away from Wang Baole.
Li Linzi was already stunned beyond belief, and everyone else was utterly horrified. Many people started to secretly curse in their hearts. After all, now that an Eternal Star Realm cultivator had appeared, it wasnāt too hard to guess that this assessment would be full of twists and turns. As Chosen, their backgrounds were all extremely powerful, butā¦ here, a powerful background didnāt mean anything. Only their own strength counted.
And with only their own strengthā¦ an Eternal Star Realm Almighty was enough to kill them all. Therefore, although each of the Chosen felt shock and fear toward Wang Baole, they also carried deep resentment.
They didnāt try to hide these emotions, so Wang Baole felt them very clearly. He felt wronged and confused, and his mind continued to spin as he thought of how he might have killed this Eternal Star Realm cultivator. However, after a few breaths, Wang Baoleās eyes suddenly widened and his body trembled violently.
He was very sure that he didnāt know this Eternal Star cultivator, and he definitely didnāt kill them. Butā¦there was one period in his life when he had been wholly unconscious, and that wasā¦when his senior brother Chen Qingzi took him across the starry sky in a coffin.
āCould it be?!ā Wang Baoleās heart beat rapidly, and he couldnāt help but make a guess. When his senior brother was speeding through the starry sky with the coffin on his back, could there have been an unlucky Eternal Star Realm cultivator who accidentally provoked his senior brother and was beheaded?
āBut being killed by Senior Brother wouldnāt count as me killing them. Could it be thatā¦Senior Brother used the coffin I was in to beat the other person to death?ā
āOrā¦when Senior Brother was flying through the air, the Eternal Star Cultivator was directly rammed to death by the coffin I was in?ā Wang Baole felt that this incident was too unbelievable, and he didnāt know if his guess was right. However, looking at the Eternal Star realm phantom in front of him who had obviously been smashed to death without leaving a corpse behind, he feltā¦that his guess wasnāt too far off.
āSenior Brother!!!ā Wang Baole wailed in his heart, but he didnāt have time to think about how to resolve this situation. The aura of the Eternal Star realm cultivator was already at its peak. With a violent roar, all the illusory phantoms immediately charged toward the hundreds of Chosen.
Logically speaking, the illusory phantoms should only target the person who killed them due to their resentment, butā¦
On this Illusory Planet, this sort of logic obviously wasnāt absolute. Although the phantoms hated those who killed them, the scope of their revenge when they struck included all living beings!
As a result, the battlefield became chaotic in an instant. Fortunately, the strength of these phantoms was far less than when they were alive. It also seemed that due to the laws here, the phantoms had no intelligence and only acted based on instincts. Therefore, as the sounds of battle rang out, Wang Baoleās body retreated rapidly. Although he was anxious in his heart, when he looked at the illusory phantoms pursuing him, a thought suddenly popped up in his head.
āAre theseā¦considered souls?ā His heart immediately started pounding, and a faint light appeared in his eyes.
